You seem to imply that conservative Christians love Jeff Dunham I don't see why since Bubba Jay is a Conservative Christian and Jeff pretty regularly takes the piss on him.

The Jalapeno has never well in everything I have seen been portrayed as lazy or slow witted. He has bantered intelligently with the other puppets and is more laid back than lazy. As for the dead Muslim terrorist. Uhm? Uh? Does that mean a puppet that is a dead English soldier from the American Revolution would be racist? He isn't presenting it as a dead Muslim terrorist honestly never even says Muslim in fact calls him the Dead Terrorist. Were Achmed a real person undoubtedly he would self identify as Muslim just like Westboro church self identifies as christian.

In fact the only puppet played as a lazy dull idiot is Bubba J from Texas.

You mean Dunham's story of going through airport security? "What the hell…was on Peanut's butt…that labeled me the potential terrorist?"

I have both Jewish and German roots, so I like to tell people that I'm very conflicted within myself, and that I keep trying to stick my head in gas ovens…

[...] title of this post is stolen shamelessly from the Hijinx Ensue comic, which offers us this brilliant commentary on Comedy Central’s new Jeff Dunham [...]

Thank you sooooo much!!!
I have been arguing with friends just how offensive JD is for over a year. Nice to see someone I respect (first as a webcartoonist, and now across the board, as I read more of your blog posts) not only agrees with me, but can use humor to express this far better than I could with words.

Oh, and yeah, I did the survey. Hope us doing this does help.

Happy Halloween/Samhain!

I think I remember seeing him a long time ago on Star Search, so I had a weird nostalgia thing with him when I would watch his specials. However, back then, all he had was a 5-minute Peanut bit. Even adding Walter was alright, and was kind of funny, but he's REALLY reaching now, with the jalepeno, the pimp, and the dead terrorist. The first time I saw a commercial for one of his specials involving "Achmed", I was like "I'm done."

If you want to understand who his audience is and why he's popular, watch the first couple minutes of his Christmas special. Wait for the part when he has Walter say "Its not happy holidays, its merry Christmas!" and listen for the roaring applause and hollering. Ugh…

Wow. I was totally going to log in and debate you on Jeff Dunham, but then I went to youtube. The first skit I saw was the Dead Terrorist skit… My bad, you are right.

I disagree about Mencia though. I love that guy! I saw him at RIT and he and Josh Blue did comedy for 2 hours and then an additional hour of Q&A for the college crowd. It was an amazing show and definately funnier than his TV show.

The whole "Joke Stealing" thing is blown out of proportion… Hell, someone could say Penny Arcade stole one of your jokes about America's weird fetish with Vampires (you did Zombies, PA did mummies)
