I thought this was one of the funniest puppet acts I have seen for a long time.

Your thoughts?

Mmmm

1. He doesn't want racist jokes in his act, then rips the piss out of the accent.
2. 35 millions views! Unbelievable.


EDIT: I did laugh at some if it though ;)

I've seen it before - I thought it was very funny at times, but not all of it - it does get a bit predictable in the end... But the "SILENCE..... I KILL YOU" part is just class I think...

I'm really surprised that some on hre doesn't find it funny - I've shown the clip to some friends and all of them think it's very funny...

Maybe it's just us danes who has a weired sense of humor... I don't know....

No I don't watch many puppet acts, I normally find them childish and boring.

I didn't say that every single second of this video was funny, yes it isn't completely funny, but it does have some very funny moments. Did anyone watch this and not laugh once? Ok, well then you don't have the same sense of humour as most, but it is far from shit :p

far be it from me to question your sense of humour mate but which parts did you find funny? maybe it is me but i found the whole act really unfunny and on a side issue the theme of the act well is just sick. like i said maybe it is just me, but he is not even a good ventriloquist.

Achmed , not that funny

Then he made fun about white trash with Bubba
Just one funny line when he called AA-érs quitters.

And then he had a black doll and called it Sweet Daddy D

That was hillarious

I guess I have a dark humour, some love it, some hate it. I have seen most of the other puppets he has too (links from that one). Yes he makes fun of people, but he makes fun of EVERYONE, including himself.

I like dark humour too mate but he's just not funny.

Did he get up one day and think I know what'll be funny, I'll get a terrorist dummy and do an hilarious accent and intersperse it with "I WILL KILL YOU"s.
Of course the Americans lap it up as they love stereotypes and to them the accent and the dummy is almost like a Middle East documentary.

Side splittingly funny.

This is a funny puppet act. Was surprised to see her on TV a few years ago, she was in my year at uni - was one of the last things I thought she'd end up doing!

Sorry Vin, I watched 2 mins of that, got completely bored and exited it. Not funny what so ever. She isn't even good at the voice. Just sounds like her talking through her teeth (which is exactly what is happening). I guess it is all down to taste.
