Jeff Dunham and Ahmed the Dead Terrorist

14 July 2008

Jeff Dunham is one of my favorite comedians.  Ventriloquists can be hit or miss, but Dunham’s characters and his skill hit it out of the park for me.  Below are two clips of one of my favorite characters of his, Ahmed the dead terrorist.

He always adds great personality to his characters and his combination of the vocal content and the physical movements of the characters is just awesome.  I love it when the characters he’s not using on stage yell at the one that’s one stage from inside the suitcase.  Cracks me up.

I won’t say more.  Hope you enjoy.


Jim Gaffigan, the fattest crackhead I’ve ever seen.

I really enjoy watching or listening to stand up comedians.  Through an impulse buy at Best Buy the other day, I picked up Jim Gaffigan’s “Beyond the Pale” cd.  If you enjoy stand ups, or just laughing in general you should really check this guy out.  He’s a bit weird at times, but he riffs on that too and its hilarious.  We saw him at the Improv in DC a couple of years ago and it was one of the best acts I’ve ever seen.  Stomach was definitely hurting from laughing when I left.  The title above is a line off his CD, but I couldn’t find a clip of that so here’s a link to one of his more famous bits.
