Jeff Dunham: Arguing with Myself (2006)
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 inoffensive senses of humor that mock the American Dream.

From my favorite movies..
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
I laughed until I cried! He has definitely taken over as the best comedian on my list...sorry Jeff, Larry, Bill, and Ron! It still amazes me how he can argue with Peanut and Jose in Spanish with the accent and it never bleeding over into the other! Walter is a riot (what you lookin at?). He reminds me of some people in my life and his cynicism is perfect. (She got on her menstrual cycle and ran my ass over!) Too funny! Then Big Daddy D (word)was pretty funny as well. Bubba J his favorite beer is (an open one). He was late getting to his girlfriends house and so was she! Peanut wasn't what I expected him to be...I have a feline named Peanut. This martian looking character is just that a character! I love them all but the one that stands out the most is Jose the Jalapeno (I am Jose a Jalapeno on a steeeek!) He wanted to wow the ladies when asked why he said (cause I have a steeeek!) Except for a few rough words, anyone can enjoy this comedy. Even the Watler's in the world. (nahhhh what you lookin at?) Highly recommended to cure any ailment you have...enjoy!
Jeff makes you completely forget they're puppets!! And the way he interacts with them and the audience is great. When Walter gets upset because someone gets up to use the restroom, he says he'll just wait until he gets back. So Jeff just stands there with a look on his face that just cracks you up, because after a couple of seconds you remember that Walter is just a puppet.Being able to choose between the bleeped and non-bleeped version makes it a great family show, no matter what age. My 15 year old son loves it. My grand-daughters (4 and 5)can repeat the lines (from the bleeped version).I saw his show on Comedy Central, and found out when his DVD was to be released. I don't normally buy DVD's but I went all over town the day it was released looking for it. Found it, and have watched it over and over.I have bought copies and given them away, and plan on buying more.
Jeff Dunham has to be the funniest ventriloquist on the planet. He incorporates a wide variety of distinct personalities amongst his unforgettable sidekicks. From Walter, Peanut, Jose Jalapeno (... on a steeek!), to Bubba J and Sweet Daddy Dee, you will not soon forget these memorable characters. Years ago I remember seeing Mr. Dunham do numerous shows coming up and he was a definite standout from all his comedy competition. Recently at the American Comedy Awards, Mr. Dunham was voted Male Stand-up comic of the year. This piece has been a long time coming and delivers spot on. If not for a slight bit of vulgar language this would be a piece for comedy lovers of all ages. A definite master of his craft, Mr. Dunham is not one to be missed. Arguing With Myself is a must have.
I haven't seen "Arguing with myself" I've only seen Jeff Dunham clips from Comedy Central and The Best Damn Sports Show Period. Jeff's ventriloquist act is delightful though. He's got great jokes and a fabulous set of puppets. I find that people like Walter the best. He's a crotchety old man and he reminds me of Red Forman from "That 70's Show" For clips, go to youtube.com and enter "Jeff Dunham" It's really a good time and you'll enjoy it. Even if you don't like puppets, because the jokes are fresh.You find a lot of truth in the jokes! I know I'm rambling but that's because I need to fill ten lines. But, check it out!
