No matter how poor the jokes or terrible the execution, watching puppets will always put a smile on my face. Unfortunately that is about the only good part of this comedy special. A few good jokes here and there, but for the vast majority of it I was just shaking my head.

There are small moments of the special where it feels like Dunham has actually learned from his past and is becoming a more empathetic and understanding person, as well as growing as a comedian. However after those few moments you are reminded that he is a middle aged white man with lots of money and all the progress is washed away. Disappointing to say the least.
Featuring the greatest and thought-provoking joke about Vegans in comedy history imo...

Call me out surprise, I would have never thought I believe my first five star for something of this year would have been for a comedy special by Jeff Dunham; but after more than a decade since I was introduced to him and his infamous Achmed: the dead terrorist when I was a teen, to this date I can't stop thinking and laughing my a** off just thinking about that damn puppet. Its like, even though he's far away from archiving the technical and iconic status as Henson, you know? Some people were introduced to the marvelous world of puppets thanks to The Muppets or Sesame Street, me…
"Ah screw you that's a good joke!"

Well, I am finally at the end of Jeff Dunham's stand-up specials. I guess there's another stand-up event that happened in 2020, but at this point, I'm just done with this comedian that has extreme talent when it comes to puppeteer. When it comes to humor, however, his jokes are mostly a miss, and some can be just recycled jokes from previous specials that I didn't know I was watching the Mel Brooks of Ventriloquism but a lot more racist. So with this special, I was relieved that it was shorter than most of his stuff, but since it's Jeff Dunham himself, it can go on for eternity at some points. To my…
this was so unfunny. the bits where he mentioned trump and everyone cheered made me uneasy. when he baited the crowd with jose the jalapeño and said "some people think i shouldn't use him" and proceeded to make another trump joke was just bad. he isn't funny. he's washed up, and telling the same old jokes, bringing absolutely nothing new to the table and floundering with the fact he hasn't been relevant for years.
Boomer Facebook- the movie.
Though dumbed down still pretty funny
Jeff Dunham's net worth is around $150 million. We've failed as a species.
I've always liked Jeff Dunham's work and his ventriloquist talent. His ability to throw his voice and speak through his puppets is still great to watch as it was when I was a kid. The opening of the act is fairly good, but I felt that the rest of the Netflix special fluctuated in quality in terms of hilarious jokes and gags. The Trump administration advisor puppet, Larry, was a mixed bag for me. Not that there wasn't any good jokes made at Trump' expense, but because Larry didn't feel very different from Peanut in terms of body language and voice. Walter and Achmed are my personal favorites from Dunham's collection of puppets and their skits had me in stitches. However, I thought it was a pretty decent show that lifted my spirits following a boring and slow night at work.

This man tells a joke like Dr. Seuss would.

I don't remember laughing once.
This show was so horrifying, I started to make a YouTube video about it so you can say that this is where WolvePotter was born (the birth of a legend)
I rewatched it just recently and it's just as bad as the last viewing
My family and I love Jeff Dunham, but he was restricted in this performance. It seems like he made it softer for this snowflake generation. I don't blame him though. One of his weaker shows
