Why I love Achmed Jeff And Walter The Most

Why I love Achmed Jeff And Walter The Most

Jeff Dunham has managed to do the impossible, well in my eyes anyway!  He has created Achmed.  Jeff is an absolute legend in that he has managed to target a form of comedy that many people thought was dying out.

Firstly Achmed and Walter and my favorite ventriloquist dummies at the moment, and Jeff is one of my top 3 favorite comedians – I also enjoy watching Lee Evans – but that’s another story!

Anyway here are the reasons why I think Achmed Jeff and the rest are just awesome:

Achmed is basically an incompetent suicide bomber, a failed one at that – and a touchy subject at worst – so you can imagine how people react when this subject is approached with humor – they love it!  He doesn’t even realise it when he is dead – he calls it a flesh wound.  Durrhhh!

Jeff is a comedy master and really has done wonders to revive this art of making it look like a plastic and fabric and wooden character is alive and communicating with the rest of the world and his surroundings.  These truly are great puppets.

Walter is a retired grumpy old man who will literally have you in stitches.  he sits with a squashed up face and his arms crossed, so you can imagine what sort of encounter you will have when he comes out to see you.

Every time I sit down to watch one of the Jeff Dunham DVD‘s I ALWAYS come away smiling and feeling good about myself.  Why?

Well it’s a very good and well rehearsed routine that shows when you see it.  Jeff, on his worldwide tours actually makes the effort to study the area he is visiting and local stores so he can approcah these in his routines – it really does made a big difference.

Achmed Jeff and Walter (and the rest of his troupe - Bubba J, Jose The Jalapeno Pepper, Melvin The Superhero, Peanut and Sweet Daddy Dee) really do create a performance that will leave you smiling and glad you watched it.

Plus due to the fact that they are popular worldwide there has been a whole slew of aftermarket products designed to whet your appetitite.  Take a look at some Achmed Jeff and Walter merchandise over on the Amazon website, see below.
