Movie Reviews of Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity
Movie Review: Jeff Dunham - Spark of Insanity
Summary: 5 Stars
We didn't think Jeff could do any better than "Arguing with Myself" until we saw "Spark of Insanity." I'm even more amazing at Jeff's creative genius. I have to admit my husband and I hadn't watched many ventriloquists before; however, after seeing Jeff's videos, we're definitely fans.
We liked this video as much, if not more, than his first. I love the new "Dead Terriost" character. It's amazing how Jeff can make that so funny. Of course, my husband relates to Walter (he is Walter!) and we all love Peanut. When Peanut, Jeff, and Jalepeno on a Stick are all talking, you have to be amazed at Jeff's skill (and sense of humour).
We have watched it with dozens of friends, each one saying the same thing. You soon forget he is working with puppets and he is making all the voices and sounds. There are even times when he and the puppets are talking at the same time! The puppets seem so real. It's amazing what he can say and get away with because it's coming out of their mouths. Sometimes his comments are controversial but he does it with such humour and no one is spared.
My husband and I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good laugh--a "slap your knee, good belly laugh."
Summary of Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity
Jeff Dunham and his socially reckless "suitcase posse" are back in this highly anticipated follow-up to Arguing with Myself, his breakthrough television special and multi-platinum selling DVD release! What's next?
An ALL NEW show that is Bigger... Better... and Funnier than ever!
This time, Dunham welcomes two never-before-seen partners "Achmed the Dead Terrorist," and "Melvin the Superhero." Long-time favorites "Peanut," "Walter" and Jose Jalapeno...On a STEEK! are back in an entirely original show for everyone!
Taped at the historic Warner Theater in Washington D.C., this sold out concert is twice the length of the Comedy Central broadcast, with exclusive extras, featuring "The Making of Melvin," "What Would You Put on a Stick?" and a surprise political announcement from Walter!
"Spark of Insanity" is the ultimate event special from one of comedy's most inventive minds.
Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham's second live-performance DVD, Spark of Insanity, is much funnier than his first, Arguing With Myself, perhaps because his new puppets allow him to cover more controversial territory beyond skits about family beefs and office humor. Though some puppets reappear, like the beloved Peanut, a purple monkey who loves wordplay, new characters emerge as the stars of this hour-long stand-up show. A tense laughter ripples through the audience, for example, when Dunham announces his wish to talk with a terrorist as he brings out Achmed the Dead Terrorist, a turban-sporting skeleton who's refrain is "I will kill you!" Previous show star, Jose Jalapeņo, a Mexican chili pepper on a stick, returns for a discussion about whether the puppet has a green card. If his racial jokes rode a line slightly too Caucasian to clarify his point of view before, Dunham has achieved real satire in Spark of Insanity, showing his audience how ridiculous it is to create stereotypes of any sort. Additionally, Dunham mocks his own culture with Walter, a grumpy old white man whose parental chiding rings true for many. Moreover, Dunham impresses with his ventriloquism skills, and shows off some new vocalization techniques that will stun anyone interested in this fascinating art. --Trinie Dalton
