Jeff Dunham: Controlled Chaos

Although the language issue is not really needed to be funny, he does a great job entertaining. He can clean up his act for most part and still be very good.

Jeff Dunham has become one of my very favorite comedians of all time. Yes, even though he is rightly thought of as a ventriloquist, it is his great COMEDIC talents that stand out to me. That is not to minimize his talents as a ventriloquist, as technically he is very, very impressive here too. Dunham's interactions with his puppets are so complex and realistic that Peanut, Achmed and company really seem to come to life in his hands! In this show, my 2nd favorite Dunham DVD next to 'Spark of Insanity', he is on a real roll for basically the whole show! (Any mistakes are redone and edited out, so the whole show flows seamlessly). His humor is adult, but he is not excessively crude. Jeff's interactions with the audience are quite amusing. Dunham's humor would normally be considered offensive, but is not really perceived as such, since it is his dummies who make the offending remarks. Interesting is how politically incorrect the humor often is, but he gets away with it because it seems like it is the puppets who make the non-PC jokes while Jeff gets 'upset' at them and apologizes for 'their' bad behavior. Fascinating, as if a regular comedian made some of the same jokes, he/she would likely get booed off the stage, while Jeff's puppets get riotous laughter. Anyway, if you enjoy great humor and fine ventriloquism, you will love this DVD. Picture and sound quality are both impressive. Extras are not especially great, but that's not a big issue for me.

I’ve been a long time Jeff Dunham fan and after a rough day these DVDs just put me in a better mood. I’m disappointed at the condition this DVD was received in though. I can replace the case so I’m not returning it, just hopeful the next order is packed a bit better.

this is indeed the funniest person i have seen in several years of being around. his comedy is fun, interactive and it kinda takes you back to your childhood, but in an adult form instead. how jeff works and creats his puppets and voices are amazing. i just ordered and watched the dvd and i would recommend it to anyone. there are some inappropriate parts in it but the dvd i ordered has bleeped and unbleeped versions on it. oh and 2 new characters!!!!fun....jeff dunham is a masterpiece and a work of art all on his own. so if you are a fan already and havent seen this new one, get it it is just as funny if not funnier than the rest of them. and as far as some one new to jeff dunham? easy, want a sample? goto his site, [...] which is the site that directed me here to amazon to make my purchase. and secondly, [...] lookup jeff dunham. he has tons on there for you to see and sample before you buy. anyways, this is my review of this dvd, jeff dunham, controlled choas.. peace to all and if you buy this, i hope you and your family enjoy it just as me and my family have. why your at it, he dont have many dvds yet, buy them all and have the whole collection, i got them all.......

Okay, here we go (for a 4th time around)I've read the reviews that have 4 or fewer stars and would like to address peoples comments.A couple of people said that it was crude, but go back to the first dvd and tell me that on wasn't. You could almost say he went back to that style/comfort level.Funny tho, it seemed like he wanted to talk about his recent divorce, yet he didn't. I thought this dvd was outstanding & extremely funny, I'll have to watch it more to see if it has staying power, but when I watch some of his facial expressions during the short bits about his divorce, gives me the impression that he still gets choked up about it and that maybe he went back out on the road too soon, but who wouldn't go back out while your popularity is is high as his? Best part of the show was the ending with Peanut giving a voice to a Jeff Dunham doll. This felt like a grand finale to a fireworks show, Jeff amazingly performs 5 voices at the same time: Peanut, little Jeff, Jose, the Peanut habd puppet & his own. It was a rapid fire grande finale that I had to watch twice just to be able to catch all the spoken lines.

This presentation was of course very professional. I liked the family photos Jeff used in the opening of the act, along with his lead in to bringing in Walter and the others. To me, his material was a repeat of "A SPARK OF INSANITY" to some degree. Walter and Peanut are the stars of the show. Achmed could be a lot funnier. I thought his part was a bit lame. Peanut was as crazy as ever.I am not a prude, but I thought the quality of the show suffered somewhat with vulgarity being brought into it. There is the option of watching a "bleeped" version, or "non-bleeped". I chose the latter because bleeps are for broadcast TV and they detract from the flow of the material. Just my opinion. A SPARK OF INSANITY was hilarious to me and did just fine without the "S-H" word and the "F" bomb.All in all, it was fun to watch, Jeff and the characters were funny and entertaining. It could have been better.

Jeff remains one of the most talented of all the ventriloquists/Comedians on any circuit of all time. Yes, he may be vulgar to some, but he is timely,literate, the kinda guy if you have a daughter, would want her to go out with. Your wife would have him over to dinner. He remains one of the most respectful On-Stage talents, who does not get arrested for drunk driving, or any of the other celebrity antics. Not only does he fly his own helicopters, but builds them from the ground up. His "On-Stage companions are also designed and fabricated by him. He is known around the world, and you can see why.If this is your FIRST time seeing him, I'd recommend his earlier work, just so some of his routines make more sense.There are "Bleeped" versions for viewing with the "Easily Offended".When he DOES Cut Loose, its occaisonal, and not just for "Shock Value" like some of those out there,who swear just to offend.His audiences are always "Full Up", and you'll see why.Soon, you too will be saying, "Greetings, Een-Fah-Dels"!!!!!Curmudgeons unite, and say, hello to "Walter".
