Jeff Dunham: Relative Disaster
Trailer
Synopsis
Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham brings his rude, crude, and slightly demented posse of puppets to Ireland for a comedy special. There, his characters Walter, Achmed the Dead Terrorist, Bubba J, Peanut, and the new Irish puppet, Seamus, deliver jokes about Dunham's family and politics.
Context & Trivia
In this comedy special, Jeff Dunham introduces his new puppet, Baby Seamus, a foul-mouthed, alcoholic Irish baby. Seamus joins Dunham's regular cast of characters: Walter, a grumpy old man; Achmed the Dead Terrorist, an incompetent suicide bomber; Bubba J, a beer-loving, NASCAR-obsessed redneck; and Peanut, a hyperactive creature. The special was filmed at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in Dublin, Ireland. The introduction of Seamus and the focus on Dunham's Irish genealogy are distinctive elements of this show. Some critics have noted that Dunham, in this and other works, attempts to blur the line between ventriloquism and puppetry, aiming for his characters to interact as living beings, similar to The Muppets or Alf.
