Arguing With Myself, a recorded live performance of ventriloquist Jeff Dunham, portrays a comedian whose revival of an old-fashioned art has made ventriloquism more relevant to modern societal concerns. Starring his six main characters, from Bubba Jay, a Nascar-obsessed hick, to Peanut, a flamboyant gay monkey, Dunham's puppets have dirty but relatively inoffensive senses of humor that mock the American Dream. One can easily see why Jay Leno champions Dunham, as his skits contain a similar sly sarcasm disguised as wholesome teasing aimed at men indebted to their ugly wives, for example, or people who live their lives working in cubicles. At times, though, Dunham's humor seems to lose its ironic distance, especially as he interacts with puppets like Jose Jalapeno, a Cuban chile pepper, or Sweet Daddy D, a Black pimp, both reliant on the antiquated humor once popularized in cartoons by racial caricature. Since the entire audience in the film is white, it is difficult to assess whether or not African-Americans or Latinos would find Dunham funny. In other words, Dunham's humor isn't overtly offensive enough to make fun of ethnic heritage. However, his skills as a ventriloquist alone make him a fascinating entertainer, and anyone interested in how puppetry and ventriloquism has progressed over the decades would benefit from watching Dunham bring life to his wooden friends. --Trinie Dalton

JEFF DUNHAM IS AWESOME AND THIS IS SUCH A FUNNY TAPE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DVD TO EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO LAUGH.
 Very Different November 29, 2008
D. Zinn (Kenai, Alaska)
This ventrilaquist has a unique act. He's not as good at his ventriliquism as say Terry Fadder but I think his act is much funnier. The vidio can be watched with beeps or swearing, either way there's not alot of swearing. His characters can be real or fictional with alot of different senarios. I'm looking to buy another of his vidios.
