In one of his specials he mentioned that a segment wouldn’t go over well in China. It was evidently edited out of the CC special. Just found it on YouTube, and Jeff’s right, it was VERY racist! ---

Was it the “Taste of China” routine? He did that one when I saw him live. I thought it went on too damn long (but I prefer Walter over Peanut any day). ---

He’s the guy with the racists puppets like a jalepeno in a sombrero and an Arab who hates America? Forget China, he doesn’t go over well in half of America. ---

Considering he’s the highest grossing comedian in North America and one of the top ranked comedians in Europe among other things, I would say he goes over very well in all of America. > **[Jeff Dunham](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Dunham)** > > Jeffrey Douglas Dunham (born April 18, 1962) is an American ventriloquist, stand-up comedian and actor who has also appeared on numerous television shows, including Late Show with David Letterman, Comedy Central Presents, The Tonight Show and Sonny With a Chance.

I know humor is subjective, but I don’t understand all the hate for Jeff Dunham on this board. Is he not ‘sophisticated’ (whatever that means) enough? Of course, I could probably sit here and list a bunch of them I don’t like that other people here like quite well. ---

He’s the favorite comedian of people who can’t name another comedian. ---

No one who reads without moving their lips likes him, it’s a proven fact (it’s why their so impressed he doesn’t move his lips). ---

Of course, I could probably sit here and list a bunch of them I don’t like that other people here like quite well. He isn’t funny, and appeals only to people who enjoy the fact that he’s basically standing on a stage shouting the word “nigger” over and over again for two hours. I appreciate offensive comedy, but he forgot the comedy part. “Some people aren’t white. That’s the joke!” ---

> [@madmonk28](#): > > No one who reads without moving their lips likes him, it’s a proven fact (it’s why their so impressed he doesn’t move his lips). Um, cite? I like him and I can read very well without moving my lips. I also know the difference between their and they’re. Also, I just don’t see the full on constant racism others are seeing. Sure he has some racist parts in his act, but that’s not his whole act. ---

I find him absolutely hilarious when he’s not using his racial stereotype puppets (so his own stand-up, Walter, and Peanut), I dislike Larry the Cable Guy severely, and at this point in my life I’m a staunch liberal. People who complain that someone uses stereotypes probably shouldn’t rely on stereotypes themselves. ---

> [@Bosstone](#): > > People who complain that someone uses stereotypes probably shouldn’t rely on stereotypes themselves. This times 20. Last time I watched his arguing with myself special it was with the wife, a very liberal lawyer and a well respected educator. We were all in tears we were laughing so hard. None of us thought it was racist. Just because you don’t like a particular act that does not mean all of America hates it.
