I have never been impressed with Mr. Dunham, and this 'special' confirms my opinion. I think he realized at some point how unfunny he really is, so he has resorted to shock value to keep his name out there. I am not offended by much, including his dead terrorist character, but without humor and cleverness he IS offensive.I will not delve into any of his skits, just suffice it to say he is not funny...and not a very talented ventriloquist. If possible, I would have given him zero stars.
... View MoreI don't know if it's because I'm older, because Jeff Dunham is washed up or some combination of the two but I could not get through more than 10 minutes of this special. Every single joke was essentially the low hanging fruit of comedy. Jokes that have been made a million times about the same topics. A lot of his material is based on racial/ethnic/cultural stereotypes and it's just not funny anymore.
... View MoreThis show is great. He is just hilarious. I love how he uses references from everywhere. He also incorporates where he is at and makes it work so well. All his characters are original and so is his content. I love how he incorporates things from his life as well. You can tell he has so much fun. Overall 10/10 for this show. Did you know he is #1 in Saudi Arabia? Fluffy (Gabriel Iglesias) mentioned that in one of the specials he did. I can totally see why.
... View MoreI remember when Jeff used to be funny!! I even saw him in person in Pittsburgh in this smallish comedy club and were really close to the stage and I laughed out loud many times, but this special barely had me cracking a smile for the most part, and I only laughed out loud once during the whole 68 mins!! His new puppet, Seamus the baby, was not only NOT funny, he was hard to look at and could have been designed so much better!! For something supposed to be a human child, Jeff should have given him 10 fingers and 10 toes!! I'm glad there was no Sweet Daddy Dee cuz I never found him funny either, but he should NEVER have cut out Jose. Also, at the beginning, when he asks about why the special was filmed in Ireland, he goes into this big explanation, but NEVER answers the question. Thankfully, he does later on! The jokes about his age got old really fast and he didn't need to have so many of the puppets talk about it either! I find it odd that there are numerous ventriloquists now that traded in their "older models" for younger ones once they got famous, and all the ones I've seen got less funny after they got remarried. Just an interesting fact!!
