Jeff Dunham’s Most Racist Puppet Tapped to Host White House Correspondents’ Dinner
The White House Correspondents’ Association surprised potential guests by announcing Jeff Dunham’s most racist puppet, Bubba J, will host their annual dinner event in hopes of attracting President Trump.
Dunham admitted to being in awe of Elon Musk’s puppet work with President Trump.
Nice finish.
Jeff Dunham is one of the most disappointing stand ups. He clearly can craft a set and a joke really well but he chooses to go for hack racist premises instead of doing real work.
His act never really changes. I saw him in the ‘90s with Achmed and the Jalapeño. Saw him in the ‘00s and it was pretty much the same act. Saw a video of him recently and it was the exact same schtick. Racist, stereotypes, and “get off my lawn”. Some might try to whitewash it as satire, but sure AF his audience isn’t there for satire.
Comedians doing wholly new sets every time is a thing fir the generation that follows Dunham so that's not a shocker.
I just wish he used his talent to make different jokes.
My favorite joke I've seen Jeff Dunham deliver on stage is from some random old stand-up gig he did. His abstract purple puppet "Peanut" always wears one shoe. He says "Peanut, it looks like you lost a shoe." Peanut says "Nah man, I found one."
That is all true but this is satire.
It's satire lampshading real racism.
When people use "satire" as a shield to tell hateful jokes or mock vulnerable populations, this is often referred to as "punching down." It's also sometimes called "pseudo-satire" or "false satire" because it lacks the critical intelligence and moral purpose that defines true satirical work.
It's not comedy. It's a clap trap for racists.
jeff dunham
oh yeah that was a guy who exists
And was never funny
I used to tell my friends long ago that this guy used puppets as a way to be as racist as possible without being called out. Somehow the puppets are a buffer in people’s brains. They would say i was over reacting but I’ve always just stuck with that cause it’s pretty obvious what he’s doing
I legit thought this was real when I saw this post. Then I saw the feed.
Well shoot I bit the onion too. This legitimately would be one of the least outrageous things the administration has done, I didn't even question it.
Jeff Dunham is so bad he makes Carrot Top look as good as Eddie Murphy in 1987.
The worst part is, he's actually a talented ventriloquist. But he also just so happens to be a racist hack comedian. Like, damn dude, you spent years honing your craft and this is what you decided to do with your skills? What a waste.
Carrot Top is a good stand up. He murders the room on a regular basis. You might not like prop comics but he is better than most stand ups.
Picking his most racist puppet sounds like trying to find the biggest bigot at a nazi rally.
Jose Jalapeno?
He's a jalapeno. On a stick.
(I'm too lazy to go find the n with the squiggly above it)
The thing is, Jeff never pronounced it as jalapeño though, I remember him specifically saying "jalapeno".
Man that guy is like posts from /c/TheRightCantMeme personified. What a douche.
Not Walter? I call BS.
Walter is a classic old timey racist that remembers when certain types weren't allowed some places.
Bubba J is a typical racist that believes stereotypes are intrinsic attributes and doesn't want to have anyone to worry about moving into his trailer park and steal his redneck treasures, like his fox body mustang shell or bikes he found.
Achmed is a religious zealot that wants anyone who isn't a follower of Islam to die.
The rest are caricatures, some racist because Jeff is white, and one is a middle finger to his "bitch of an ex-wife."
I wonder if Jeff will put Larry, an advisor to Trump, up for the event because that would be gold.
Ohhh, as in the character is racist.
