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!

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 Jalapeño, 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

Customer Reviews:
Hilarious!
We have three of Jeff's DVDs. This one is the best. Jeff Dunham is a talented and brilliant stand-up comedian and ventriloquist. His characters are unique and recognizable. Jeff is getting more and more popular, as evidenced by the higher ticket prices for his shows. Rats! I took my two kids (ages over 20) to see him for the taping of the Spark of Insanity tour. Jeff-fah-fah was great! When he did bits from former tours, people in the audience were quoting the bit right along with him, and even finishing his sentences for him. Jeff has twice been in Comedy Centrals' top three Top Comedians Countdown. I don't recommend the Christmas DVD (too raunchy unless you like that), but I do all others, especially this one. Peanut is the best!

Jeff Dunham Out does it!

Dunham and Friends are always good for a laugh
I have been a fan of Jeff Dunham for years now. "Spark of Insanity" is hysterical from beginning to end and is good for all ages. Anything that can make you laugh out loud is a good thing and this is a very good thing. I am amazed at how he can keep himself and his cast of characters talking non-stop for an hour and a half.

This dvd was purchased for my son as a birthday present because he is a fan of Jeff Dunham. Jeff Dunham is a great comedian, he is very funny and you have to love all his characters. His is a great ventriloquist.
