*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Jeff Dunham's strength is in his imagintive puppets, which convey subtle facial expressions that are indeed funny. He also has mastered the art of coordinating his voice with visual gestures and manic movements by his puppets. The content of his comedy, however, is offensive. He routinely laughs about disabilties such as scoliosis, polio, and diabetes. One of his characters, Jose Jalapeno, is sadly a hearkening back to the days when Mexicans were stereotyped and laughed at as a form of racism. He played before an audience in Milwaukeee that seemed to be low-grade, uneducated morons who seemed to lap up all of his "jokes". It must have been "ugly" night - tickets 1/2 price for the facially challenged... Jeff seems to be his own biggest fan, as he constantly cracks up at himself. He also has a puppet spontaneously tell him that he's cute - this guy seems more than just a little vain. The guy standing in the forefront holding a guitar which he doesn't play serves as a "laugher" - he cues the audience when to laugh. I wouldn't pay to see this guy, who seems to appeal to the less sophisticated among us. How does he sell out these playhouses? I wouldn't sit in the balcony to watch a ventriloquist act...
