The Jeff Dunham Peanut Doll is a wacky humorous puppet character created for well known comedy master Mr. Jeff Dunham. Jeff Dunham is a famous, down to earth American ventriloquist. He is a great comedian with God gifted abilities to make people laugh and is famous all around the world simply by surprising people with his crazy ventriloquist puppet acts. He has a family of eight puppets.
The Jeff Dunham Peanut doll is a purple colored woozle and has white fur almost all over its body. It has green hair in tuft form on its head. Having only one sneaker in its left foot makes it funnier. It is the main character of Jeff Durham’s show known as “Arguing with Myself”.
Jeff says that he met this great funny character in Florida and it came from Micronesia. It is a brilliant puppet making people laugh right from the start of the show with his funny and bad attitude because of being a “bad kid”.
Jeff Dunham’s Peanut tends to give a lot of enjoyment and forces both Jeff Dunham and Jose Jalapeno (which is another one of Jeff’s Characters) to crack jokes. Jose adds more fun to the show by putting Jeff down constantly, telling him about some “body matter” up his nose.
It is said that this puppet is Dunham’s most beloved puppet and he has been abusing Peanut for many years. It seems like two friends are on the stage playing off and even insulting each other. The Jeff Dunham Peanut Doll also comments on Jeff’s personal life, and discusses his everyday problems.
Actually, Peanut was the character that helped Jeff to stand up in the world of comedy when Jeff was restricted to his home. Jeff Dunham’s Peanut is absolutely involved in the daily life of Jeff by discussing different issues about various aspects of life in the show. Although Peanut’s humor is not based on a particular theme, it catches the attraction of the audience by its witty behavior.
It would be a matter of great pleasure if someone likes to show their own Peanut puppet to one’s friend and family members. Although it is a comedy character, some elder people still have different opinions regarding this type of humor.
Being a great admirer of Peanut and Jeff I have to say that the Jeff Dunham Peanut doll really is an astonishing character and is definitely an ideal choice for anybody who loves humor.
