The Jeff Dunham Show

love his shoes

i saw the clip on youtube of acmed trying to do push ups in the Marines. laughed so hard tears poured out my eyes.after some research, found out this was the original dvd.The characters go outside to interact with people. it seems like the people are ordinary people and not actors.Walter is grouchy as ever. BubbaJ goes to rehab. SweetDaddyD goes to check out Civil war reenactment people. Acmed's french cousin shows up to crash the funeral Acmed throws for himself.There's a few skits with the characters recording their catch phrases to ring-tones, omg, funny.Gags are offensive as ever. In the first couple episodes it feels like the offensiveness tried to tone it down a bit, but that didn't last, lol. I'm able to watch most of them without cringing too much, lol.

best comedy show i have watched

I like to think of the "Jeff Dunham Show" as Sesame Street for adults. The puppets take on a "life-like" feature and are out in the real world. I LOVE the Jeff Dunham DVDs (Spark of Insanity, Arguing with Myself, Controlled Chaos, and the Christmas Special). I own all 4 of them. Well, Christmas Special only comes with beeped version. Anyway. I have watched the show, don't own it yet. I'll eventually own it. Even if it is more like Sesame Street and less like the other DVDs of Jeff Dunham. Jeff does get on stage a few times with his dummies. This would be the only time we see the vantriliquisim part. When the dolls enter the real world, Jeff is hidden the whole time. In the special features bit, you can see Jeff in a ditch, playing Achmed in California. (At least I think it was California. Camp Pamdleton if my memory is correct. Achmed was joining the Marines! Semper Fi!) If you like the puppets and enjoy them and want to see how they can be in real life, without having Jeff by their side, get this show! It won't be as funny or hilarious as the stage producations, but it will be funny.Added to review on August 3, 2013I now own this DVD and I stick by what I said earlier. This is Sesame Street for Adults. So, if you liked Sesame Street as a kid, I think you'll like this as well. I do not recommend this for kids. (I don't recomment Jeff Dunham for kids at all. Let the parents watch Jeff's DVDs first, then decide if it is something they want their kids to watch or not.)

Our son wanted this Jeff Dunham puppet so badly that he was very happy to work for it. He was ecstatic when it came in and right away began to watch the video. He would come running back to show me what he learned. The video is easy to follow and learn from. He has enjoyed many hours of entertainment. It is a great quality product. I would not call this a toy. My son loves that he can move the eyes and neck. The details are fantastic! Having a case, especially in a young 13 yr old boy's room is essential to keep the puppet in great shape. Now, I say puppet but in no way is this to imply that it is cheap quality. I just don't know the correct term and don't want to spend time looking for the word! Yes, that's right I'm going to be lazy. Just don't tell my 13 yr old!

I am 88 years old and have a clear memory of Edgar Bergen and all the ventriloquists who followed him, not a single one of them were anywhere near as accomplished as Jeff Dunham. With Bergen when Charley McCarthy talked Edgar's lips moved so much you were led to wonder whether he really was a ventriloquist. Bergen had two other dummies Mortimer Snerd and his aunt Effie but essential the same voice impersonation. With Jeff Dunham he has five dummies all with their own voices which are quite different and the beauty of it is that when you are looking right at Jeff and Walter is speaking for example the voice is so much his own and Jeff lips cannot be seen to move at all. By his expertise an audience quick gets seduced into thinking that Jeff is talking to real characters. Finally with or without his dummies Jeff is a very good standup comedian.

Although this DVD is from a TV series, I truly expected the performances not to be bleeped out. This DVD appears to be a recording of the the TV series as it was aired on public television. I expected the DVD to be the real recordings as they were video taped, not censored.

Jeff Dunham is so funny with his "dummy's'" or "characters." All of his shows he is writing new material and the jokes are so funny. Many of times I had to rewind because I was laughing so hard. If you have not seen his tapes, you should, I guarantee you will not regret it. I just hope Amazon offers new material on Jeff Dunham and his funny sidekicks in the future.

it was what I wanted thanks again for your great service

I bought this because I love Jeff Dunham (and Achmed) but this is contrived and sometimes cring worthy. The audiences have obviously been told what questions to ask and even though it supposedly is filmed in front of a live audience, the laughter sounds canned.. Don't waste your money.. The DVD also keeps sticking and missing large chunks of dialogue.. Total waste of money. I am very dissapointed..

I bought the Jeff Dunham Show so I could watch a normal TV Show of Jeff Dunham has I already had quite a few DVD's of Jeff Dunham not bad worth getting if you like Jeff Dunham.

Hmmmm.... having seen the previous offerings by Mr.Dunham I was a little dissapointed by Comedy stores attempt at taking Jeff's creations to a mainstream audience.... unfortunately it doesn't work without the ventriloquist. Having the dummies (pardon the pun) working on their own does not sit well!soooo.... whether to buy or not.... i would wait till your buddy buys it then you don't have to fork out for.. well lets face it not Mr. Dunhams best effort to date. You can't blame the guy for trying though, but this is just lame.

The Jeff Dunham Show is definately not as funny as his stand up shows. I watched this with some friends last night to show them how funny he is and was very disappointed. Afterwards I found some of his stand up sketches on YouTube and we were laughing our heads off.
