Hard to believe this comedy special is over a decade old already. I saw it years ago and once again last night and it's just as funny as it was the first time. This show was taped in Santa Ana, California and the town takes a few hits courtesy of Dunham's opening bit with Walter, the old curmudgeon. What's really quite good is when Dunham goes off script to engage members of the audience, with Walter carrying on with someone who had to take a restroom break. Dunham's real talent shows through in the bit with Peanut and Jose, Jalapeno on a stick. When all three argue back and forth, with a bit of Spanish thrown in, it's rather amazing that Dunham doesn't miss a beat. His other characters appearing here included Sweet Daddy Dee and redneck Bubba J, and they're all hilarious. At times, it almost seems like the dummies are really talking, so engrossed one gets with the laugh lines. The only downside is some of the language Dunham employs, making this particular show unsuitable for family viewing.

Far and away one of the funniest comedians I have seen in a long time. His talent as a ventriloquist is nothing short of amazing. You find yourself focusing on the assortment of characters he presents as if they were the ones talking.I must admit that Walter was my favorite. I think we all know at least one crotchety old man like Walter. Walter's comments about Police on Bicycles was HILARIOUS!! Although each of the characters were funny, Walter and Peanut were my favorites.The whole video had me holding my sides and laughing till I cried. This is a video we watch over and over and feel compelled to drag out whenever company is over. Mr Dunham is a very talented comedian and I'm anxiously awaiting more performances on video from him.This DVD is a must-have for any serious comedy collector!

Jeff makes you completely forget they're puppets!! And the way he interacts with them and the audience is great. When Walter gets upset because someone gets up to use the restroom, he says he'll just wait until he gets back. So Jeff just stands there with a look on his face that just cracks you up, because after a couple of seconds you remember that Walter is just a puppet.Being able to choose between the bleeped and non-bleeped version makes it a great family show, no matter what age. My 15 year old son loves it. My grand-daughters (4 and 5)can repeat the lines (from the bleeped version).I saw his show on Comedy Central, and found out when his DVD was to be released. I don't normally buy DVD's but I went all over town the day it was released looking for it. Found it, and have watched it over and over.I have bought copies and given them away, and plan on buying more.

I haven't seen "Arguing with myself" I've only seen Jeff Dunham clips from Comedy Central and The Best Damn Sports Show Period. Jeff's ventriloquist act is delightful though. He's got great jokes and a fabulous set of puppets. I find that people like Walter the best. He's a crotchety old man and he reminds me of Red Forman from "That 70's Show" For clips, go to youtube.com and enter "Jeff Dunham" It's really a good time and you'll enjoy it. Even if you don't like puppets, because the jokes are fresh.You find a lot of truth in the jokes! I know I'm rambling but that's because I need to fill ten lines. But, check it out!
