Product Description
As straight man to some of the most hilarious pint-sized partners in show business Jeff Dunham has become one of the most successful touring comics ever and has amassed legions of loyal fans! At the American Comedy Awards Dunham was voted Male Stand-Up Comic of the Year an honor shared with the likes of Jerry Seinfeld Jeff Foxworthy and Robin Williams. Thousands of sold-out theater and comedy club performances his own top-rated special on Comedy Central and countless TV guest spots - including numerous Tonight Show appearances (with both Leno and Carson) - have won him accolades and success. The reason why is very simple: he and his buddies are funny as hell. Oh and by the way... Jeff Dunham is a ventriloquist.Now see for yourself on a DVD that will set the new standard for how truly awesome a comedy DVD can be. Join Jeff and his outspoken-often-edgy characters: Walter Peanut Jose Jalapeno (...on a steeek!) Bubba J and Sweet Daddy Dee for a live show that will have you on the floor laughing!Contains both BLEEPED and NON-BLEEPED soundtracks on the same disc.

IArguing With Myself/I, a recorded live performance of ventriloquist Jeff Dunham, portrays a comedian whose revival of an old-fashioned art has made ventriloquism more relevant to modern societal concerns. Starring his six main characters, from Bubba Jay, a Nascar-obsessed hick, to Peanut, a flamboyant gay monkey, Dunham's puppets have dirty but relatively inoffensive senses of humor that mock the American Dream. One can easily see why Jay Leno champions Dunham, as his skits contain a similar sly sarcasm disguised as wholesome teasing aimed at men indebted to their ugly wives, for example, or people who live their lives working in cubicles. At times, though, Dunham's humor seems to lose its ironic distance, especially as he interacts with puppets like Jose Jalapeno, a Cuban chile pepper, or Sweet Daddy D, a Black pimp, both reliant on the antiquated humor once popularized in cartoons by racial caricature. Since the entire audience in the film is white, it is difficult to assess whether or not African-Americans or Latinos would find Dunham funny. In other words, Dunham's humor isn't overtly offensive enough to make fun of ethnic heritage. However, his skills as a ventriloquist alone make him a fascinating entertainer, and anyone interested in how puppetry and ventriloquism has progressed over the decades would benefit from watching Dunham bring life to his wooden friends.

Good Lord!!!!!!!!!! June 23, 2009
DJ Max (northern CAL, USA)
About 5 years ago, back when I used to have cable TV, on the Comedy Channel, I happened to see this Comedian on a commercial with the Grumpiest lookin' puppet (Walter) I've ever seen! I'm thinking back then, "naa, this looks like it's goin'a suck-BIG time! Cut to just about a couple of months ago, a co-worker and I happened to be talking about the best Comedy Routines he has seen-Jeff Dunham and Lisa Lampenilli (Sp?). Just for the hick of it I went to Blockbuster and rented Jeff Dunham's Arguing With Myself and Spark Of Insanity! Good Lord!!!!!!!! I laughed so hard I had to pause the DVD player just to breath and literally catch my breath! Then he brings out Peanut! Geez'US H KEE'Rist I had to go to put Depends on because of the SAW-NA-TA-AH-NA Routine!! PAUSE the DVD player again Dam-it to catch my breath again! Then Peanut starts to crack on some of the poor unfortunate souls who have to deal with physical issues! Stop the DVD again to catch my breath again because I'm laffing so G'Dam hard-then G'dam Peanut starts crackin' on one of the Audience Members-------Had to go change out the Depends! I really like that comment about using these DVD's as greeting cards! Great Great Stuff! When I first saw Peanut on the cover of Arguing With Myself-I'm thinking-"what the hell is that?" After watching the DVD's for the omp-teenth time--Peanut is definitely MY fav character-then Sweeeeet Daddy D, then Walter! Peanut must have escaped off the set of Sesame Street,gone rogue, abused alot of drugs, and alot of alcohol-but the way Jeff works with Peanut you really have to pinch yourself and say the character is not real! To Jeff-When is your next DVD and Why don't you make an Evil Character from your lovely Wife's Purse!? br /
