Poor
I remember when Jeff used to be funny!! I even saw him in person in Pittsburgh in this smallish comedy club and were really close to the stage and I laughed out loud many times, but this special barely had me cracking a smile for the most part, and I only laughed out loud once during the whole 68 mins!! His new puppet, Seamus the baby, was not only NOT funny, he was hard to look at and could have been designed so much better!! For something supposed to be a human child, Jeff should have given him 10 fingers and 10 toes!! I'm glad there was no Sweet Daddy Dee cuz I never found him funny either, but he should NEVER have cut out Jose. Also, at the beginning, when he asks about why the special was filmed in Ireland, he goes into this big explanation, but NEVER answers the question. Thankfully, he does later on! The jokes about his age got old really fast and he didn't need to have so many of the puppets talk about it either! I find it odd that there are numerous ventriloquists now that traded in their "older models" for younger ones once they got famous, and all the ones I've seen got less funny after they got remarried. Just an interesting fact!!
Usually great, but this special is mediocre
Big spoiler ahead - the whole act is basically about how old Jeff Dunham is. That's it in a nutshell. The majority of jokes are about his age, his wifes age or his kids. Usually I love his shows, but this one just fell flat. Like others, I didn't like his new puppet either. The 'Irish' baby really wasn't funny, and the stereotype was cringeworthy.
Disaster sums it up
I remember when Jeff had me in tears from laughing so hard. I cringed through a majority of this. Taking snarky jabs at your ex, Jeff? Really? Harping about adopted kids being so bad that their birth parents just couldn't stand to keep them? And the other reviewers were spot on with their description of the monstrosity that is his new character, Seamus. Not sure if it got better because at that point I turned it off. I can only assume that he was trying to be cutting edge with his political "jokes" or score points with an overseas audience, but I just couldn't take any more. If you need a dose of Jeff Dunham, stick with his old stuff. This was an embarrassment.
Most Correctly Named Comedy Special Ever
Think of this special as the 300th episode of a cheap TV comedy that has gone on way too long and you will get the idea. Jeff gets right to the puppets this time instead of doing stand up first, which kinda throws things off balance. His establish his current situation in life first and introduce his beloved characters second to belittle him about it is gone. I think Jeff's popularity is starting to severally dwindle, or least it will after people see this. There is no Sweet Daddy or Jalapeno on a Stick to be found here. There is mention that Jeff feels that Sweet Daddy is an insensitive character or racial which is odd. He goes to Ireland to introduce a new puppet - Shamus the Irish baby.Really? That is what Ireland needs to pay money to see, a stereotypical Irish character! Brilliant Jeff and so original too. I live in the Midwest, and some years ago he played here. There were a LOT of Native Americas in attendance, but that did not stop him of making fun of them to the point where white people in the audience where becoming concerned for there safety. This was a very lite version of that event. Shamus is an ugly, cheap looking Halloween doll reject. A big headed baby that is an alcoholic. Its Achmed as a baby basically. And Shamus loves to say f*ck a lot in a bad Irish accent. Which brings up a point, Jeff at numerous points insists his act is about family, however there is course language through out despite him stopping his puppets from saying even more courser things. Add to that a dark subject matter (abandonment issues, divorce, female breasts, virgins, Walter supposedly being his dad and his mother a whore (he payed her to jump rope - yeah I don't get it either), him marrying a younger woman). This is a very strange thing to say or do. I don't mind the language but don't call it family entertainment - come on Jeff. The other strange thing is his explanation for being in Ireland, it makes no sense at all. All in all not really that funny and kind of sad to see this comedian fade out. It all just really comes to the point where you have to ask how funny can any well used stereotype be? Jeff has never been a strong political comedian or social commentator. Jeff insists the people want to see his beloved characters but doesn't give them fresh material to work with. Walter starts it high and then it slowly sinks until Peanut closes the show cleaning up the mess. Watch at your own accord.
Low Hanging Fruit of Comedy
I don't know if it's because I'm older, because Jeff Dunham is washed up or some combination of the two but I could not get through more than 10 minutes of this special. Every single joke was essentially the low hanging fruit of comedy. Jokes that have been made a million times about the same topics. A lot of his material is based on racial/ethnic/cultural stereotypes and it's just not funny anymore.
