Arguing With Myself, 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. --Trinie Dalton

The funniest guy ever! October 12, 2008
The first time I saw him on the youtube he made me laugh like a child.
I've never seen a ventriloquist as good as him... besides his technique, he has great jokes.
Extremely recommended for bored people.
No argue October 11, 2008
This guy is hilarious. Ahmed "the dead terrorist" is brilliant, but the rest of his characters are just as good.
A must have October 10, 2008
One of my sons turned me on to Jeff Dunham. He's quickly become a family favorite and we delighted in seeing him Live the following year as a family.
Comedy with no parallel October 10, 2008
Uproariously funny and the only man in America that gets away with thumbing his nose at political correctness. Dunham is probably the best comedian in the country. Went to see his concert and you get a lot for your hard earned money. I hope Jeff's Christmas album comes out soon, can't wait!
Stellar Performance October 9, 2008
This video is hilarious. We've watched it several times in the month we've had it, and keep pulling it out every time we have company who will appreciate it! Jeff Dunham has had a long career in comedy and it shows! The puppets really come to life! He's amazing! Worth every penny.
