Jeff Dunham & Achmed - "Jingle Bombs"

I saw the clip so many times. It's really funny. I hope no muslim here will take this as an offence. I don't see it this way.

 

Silence! I kiiill you

t:

 

Tasteless 'right-wing' humor.

 

Miserable 'over-serious' poster.

 

The future is in serious jeopardy when people make racist hate proproganda and pass it off as "entertainment". I dont see the appeal in being a bigot.

Muslims/terrorists/middle-easterns in general, please dont act out or respond over this. I want to personally apologize on behalf of America's lesser half.

 

Get off your soap box. And I'm not even American

 

I meant Jeff Dunham. I would never insult a non-American.

 

Since when was there a rule about who can and can not be made fun of?

 

I'm in it for the coupons and discount Coffee at MacDonalds!

 

I can always rely on you to give a good remark

 

Qwhere do you get off?!?lol

 

Since Comedy Central would not let the makers of South Park allow Mohammed to appear in a Family Guy spoof. "Either it's all protected speech...or none of it is."

 

agreed. not really even that funny.

 

Then you haven't seen Bubba Jr.

 

I'm all for making fun of absolutely anyone and everyone as long as it's done creatively and truly funny. This is just....really ham-fisted and obvious in it's attempts to be funny and in the end really isn't all that funny when it comes down to it. It does come off as more of using an opportunity to just bash Muslims than it does doing something unique and truly funny so I can see why some folks are railing against Dunham over it. Whatever floats your boat. I'll just change the channel when crap like this comes on.

Wow. Lots of tight asses here.

 

Who's a tight ass? Its just not funny. As in...I've seen funny, and if you laugh at this...then oh well.

 

Its funny how you call this racism when it's making fun of terrorists , while you on the other hand are grouping terrorists with middle easterns more directly .. I'm sorry if us evil americans have offended any body out there who likes to kill innocent people

 

Well, lots of middle easterners are terrorists because Um, 'Merica made them that way. Hating terrorists for doing what they do is like planting seeds in a garden, watering and nuturing them and then getting pissed off that they grew into a fruit or whatever. Bush lied about the war in Iraq I hope you know.

 

I'm about as liberal as one can be, and Jeff is one of my favorite stand-up comedians. If you watch his acts, he really makes sure that everyone on both sides of the coin gets theirs. I suggest that anyone who thought that that was right-wing bias look up his character Bubba J, a beer-swilling souther NASCAR fan, ripe with right wing stereotypes.

EDIT: I will say that this bit is a little more desperate to be laughed at then most of his humor, but that's what happens when you introduce something new, especially when it's an entirely new character. The reason his two oldest characters (Peanut and Walter) are so funny is because he has had over a decade to get their humor down to a science. Achmed has been around for less than a year, and the mere fact that this is an unofficial YouTube video should show that this was not meant to be seen by the public at large. It was either an early version of the joke, or, and this is much more likely, it was just filler for that particular gig.

As for what we can and can't make fun of, the fact is that if we DON'T laugh at what's going on in the world, we're giving everyone who attacked us exactly what they want.

Also, Comedy Central did not say that South Park could not show Muhammad, that was planned for the episode ahead of time.

 

The lines about towel heads and clerks ain't funny as for the rest I take no offence.
