Did you ever see a chick comedian who does nothing but make the most cliche woman jokes? Like referring to her period, and how men refuse to stop for directions.
How about black comedians who do nothing but discuss the differences between white and black folks?
Or how about, that guy Josh Blue, who has cerebral palsy and has a tendency to center all of his jokes around just living with that. Which is kind of entertaining, and he also gets the sympathy laugh but that's ALL he talks about.
How about any Blue Collar Comedy Comedians. Who do nothing but come up with one line ("You might be a redneck," "here's your sign" "git'r'dun") and then apply it to any random comment they think up. (I'll exclude Ron White, he just happens to be white trash, he doesn't center all his jokes on it)
These are some shitty obnoxious types of comedians.
And somehow Jeff Dunham manages to encompass all of these, and unmentioned others into his act... and that's why he sucks.
Jeff Dunham has a huge stand-up comedy career that does nothing but disappoint me. He's not funny... and people seem to think because he has puppets, he is.
Here's a hint, he has the dummies because he's not funny.
He picks up his old man puppet, Walter.
Now he makes jokes about being a cranky old man.
Wow... how clever.
He picks up dummy of a hick.
Insert white trash jokes...
He's a genius.
Pimp Dummy, Dead terrorist dummy, jalapeno dummy, and Peanut the monkey
All Racially insensitive.
All focused entirely on stereotype jokes.
NOT FUNNY.
You see, anyone who isn't amused by puppets at a kindergarten level, would realize Jeff Dunham isn't actually funny. At all. But because so many people are such simple saps, and clap their hands and giggle whenever they see puppets... he has taken off.
And that's why I am disappointed in people.
And also why I don't think he's funny.
Hopefully his show will help people realize this, and will get canceled pronto.

I completely agree with the entirety of this post.
Good call excluding Ron White - personally I feel like the exposure the Blue Collar Comedy Tour gave him was negative. The people watching BCCT didn't find him funny because his shit would go over their heads. People like you and I - had we not seen him prior to BCCT - might have assumed he was another Larry the Cable Guy jackass.
He didn't need to ride Foxworthy's coattails to get popular, he just needed to make a couple specials and let Comedy Central run them. You, me, and other fans of good comedy would spread the word.
As it stands, I have to explain him as "Yeah that guy from Blue Collar. No, no, he's actually funny... he's the only funny one."
