The Jeff Dunham Show! FINALLY!

[TheVileOne]

Not sure if anyone else is a fan of Jeff Dunham, but I'm glad he's finally gotten a TV show. Basically the format is like Chappelle's show. Dunham performs live onstage and intro's all of his mini-sketches and bits featuring his puppet characters.

Some of it was a little dodgy, but the stuff with Jeff and Walter at therapist was great. Walter watching backstage, "I wonder if Jeff is going to go crazy like Chappelle, I hear Africa is really nice this time of year."

Achmed's bits as always were the best especially ************ Peanut on Peanut's date with Brooke Hogan.

Eh... this show is about as funny as I thought it would be:

Not very.

 

[TheVileOne]

SILENCE! I KILL YOU!

That's Achmed.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Is there anywhere to watch this online? I missed it?

 

[Asgard]

The only part I saw was Achmed performing at a comedy club and jumping on a heckler. Pretty funny.

JustABill, I would check Comedy Central's website for rerun times.

I enjoyed it, and I'm a big fan of Dunham, but it remains to be seen if this will be a Chappelle's Show or a Mind of Mencia. Either way, I hope it doesn't make Dunham's stand up suck like having a show did to Mencia.

I like Jefafa's stand up, and the show is pretty good...Walter and Peanut are always good...hope the show makes it.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

The show was alright. I definitely feel like the puppets don't work as well in this type of situation the show puts them in as in stand-up.

 

[Manic]

It's not a horrible show. I think most of the amusement I get out of it comes from those odd moments where the puppets act without Dunham on-camera with them, but that'll be old hat by the time they do it again in the next episode. It's about as funny as what you'd normally get out of Jeff Dunham, which isn't bad.

I'll add it to the list of Comedy Central shows that last exactly one season before disappearing and only being reran again at 3am.

It's not gonna last that long. You could only do so much with these puppets. They work better for stand up routines. I love Dunham but I think I'd rather stick to the stand up.

But I did watch the opening.

"What don't you like about Jeff?"

"Well, he's a pu**y."

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Yeah, it won't last very long. He's no Jim Henson.

Jeffs stand up is funny.But his show is horrible.What a big let down.
