mordredd49 I have been a Carlin fan for years and his Schtick was always bad language and disturbing points of opinion until he left us back in 08 so bad lingo doesn't offend me. Jeff's routine started out well enough but then it fell flat with the political jargon then went downhill further with him debasing himself and his marriages and the third grade style of jokes and one liners and that abysmal Irish baby puppet was disgusting. If I wanted to watch racially demeaning entertainment I would have put on the news. Dunham used to be the cornerstone of fun humor filled Puppeteering and we all would tune in to see him at his best. In all honesty I think this is him at his worst. Hopefully he gets the act back on track or else many fans will not be showing up for the live venues.

classicsoncall There's no denying that Jeff Dunham is not afraid of self deprecating humor. This comedy special is particularly rife with him taking shots at himself via his array of characters. This time out he's got Walter, Bubba J, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, Peanut, and a new creation for the Dublin, Ireland crowd - Seamus, the Irish Baby. Dunham prefaced his remarks about Seamus by stating that he and his wife were in Ireland in part to adopt a baby there, but if that happened, one doesn't come away knowing that or if it was part of his schtick for the evening. I like Dunham generally but I thought there was a bit too much vulgarity in this show, especially when the baby character comes out with the 'F' word every so often. Not particularly becoming of the character, who also has an affinity for alcohol, being Irish don't you know. The summary quote above was delivered during Dunham's conversation with Achmed, but as I think about it now, I can't remember who said it. Well, not really, it had to be Dunham either way.

dinalt10 Big spoiler ahead - the whole act is basically about how old Jeff Dunham is. That's it in a nutshell.The majority of jokes are about his age, his wifes age or his kids.Usually I love his shows, but this one just fell flat. Like others, I didn't like his new puppet either. The 'Irish' baby really wasn't funny, and the stereotype was cringeworthy.

hinotefanatic I remember when Jeff had me in tears from laughing so hard. I cringed through a majority of this. Taking snarky jabs at your ex, Jeff? Really? Harping about adopted kids being so bad that their birth parents just couldn't stand to keep them? And the other reviewers were spot on with their description of the monstrosity that is his new character, Seamus. Not sure if it got better because at that point I turned it off. I can only assume that he was trying to be cutting edge with his political "jokes" or score points with an overseas audience, but I just couldn't take any more. If you need a dose of Jeff Dunham, stick with his old stuff. This was an embarrassment.
