Product Description
Jeff Dunham and his socially reckless "suitcase posse" are back in this highly anticipated follow-up to Arguing with Myself, his breakthrough television special and multi-platinum selling DVD release! What's next? An ALL NEW show that is Bigger... Better... and Funnier than ever! This time, Dunham welcomes two never-before-seen partners "Achmed the Dead Terrorist," and "Melvin the Superhero." Long-time favorites "Peanut," "Walter" and Jose Jalapeno...On a STEEK! are back in an entirely original show for everyone! Taped at the historic Warner Theater in Washington D.C., this sold out concert is twice the length of the Comedy Central broadcast, with exclusive extras, featuring "The Making of Melvin," "What Would You Put on a Stick?" and a surprise political announcement from Walter! "Spark of Insanity" is the ultimate event special from one of comedy's most inventive minds.
Amazon.com Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham's second live-performance DVD, Spark of Insanity, is much funnier than his first, Arguing With Myself, perhaps because his new puppets allow him to cover more controversial territory beyond skits about family beefs and office humor. Though some puppets reappear, like the beloved Peanut, a purple monkey who loves wordplay, new characters emerge as the stars of this hour-long stand-up show. A tense laughter ripples through the audience, for example, when Dunham announces his wish to talk with a terrorist as he brings out Achmed the Dead Terrorist, a turban-sporting skeleton who's refrain is "I will kill you!" Previous show star, Jose Jalapeno, a Mexican chili pepper on a stick, returns for a discussion about whether the puppet has a green card. If his racial jokes rode a line slightly too Caucasian to clarify his point of view before, Dunham has achieved real satire in Spark of Insanity, showing his audience how ridiculous it is to create stereotypes of any sort. Additionally, Dunham mocks his own culture with Walter, a grumpy old white man whose parental chiding rings true for many. Moreover, Dunham impresses with his ventriloquism skills, and shows off some new vocalization techniques that will stun anyone interested in this fascinating art. --Trinie Dalton

Jeff Dunham is great January 7, 2009 Jeff Dunham is so talented. His characters seem to come to life. They even make him laugh!
Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity January 6, 2009 Jeff Dunham is hilarious. He is an amazing comedian and ventrilaquist. He kept me laughing through the whole show.
Constant laughs January 3, 2009 There is not much better comedy out there than this. He is not only talented beyond measure but oh so funny. You won't be sorry for getting this. However, please note this is for adult audiences. There are some sexual comments that are not appropriate for children.
Beware, funny bone will get tickled. Wear Depends! December 30, 2008 OMG this is ROTFLMAO funny, much better than on Comedy Central b/c not edited and no commercial interuptions. Get it, you won't be sorry.
EXCELLENT!!!! December 29, 2008 Would recommend-the best ventriloquist I have ever watched. You get so wrapped up in his act that you truly forget that the puppets aren't real.
