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

Jeff Dunham fans unite! July 7, 2008
Debbie Ostrander (Omaha,NE)
Jeff Dunham is a comic known for his puppets. They each have their own individual personalaties, and Jeff does a wonderful job at making you forget that HE'S the one doing all the talking! Walter is old, cranky, and a laugh riot. Peanut, who is purple, gives Jeff a constant battering. All the charachters are wonderful, funny, and will makes your sides ache!
Totally Hilarious July 7, 2008

Worth the money if you need to have a good laugh after a grueling day at work. Voice transfer from Jeff to puppet is awesome, must watch for comedy buffs.
LOVE JEFF DUNHAM!! July 7, 2008

I had seen many of Jeff's appearances on TV specials in the past, so I bought both of his DVDs. I wasn't disappointed. I laughed my butt off! If I was a thin-skinned person, I might take offense at some of his jokes, puppet characters, and some of the adult language. But I have heard language like that coming from the mouths of young children! The DVD has a "bleeped" version, but for me, the humor suffers with this editing. This is adult humor, so don't play it around the kiddies if that is a concern for you. As I write this, there are 608 four and five star reviews, and 15 "pans". You do the math.
