    Jeff Dunham's comedy skits are pretty funny, but now watching the new show he has, it's not as funny as it cracks up to be. I think it's pretty stupid actually. Any thoughts?

    I read its premiere was one of the most watched shows on comedy central ever. It must have been that bad cause it saw a 55% drop in viewership the following week. I might watch it only if there is nothing else on TV

    I agree I was watching it and I've seen other things he's done and generally liked them but this I'm not a fan of

    There's only so much he can do as far as the show goes and it's basically going to be situational comedy which is always iffy. I found it was decently funny not overly funny but it's like allot of comedians who turn to having their own show it usually doesn't live up to the hype/reputation of the person.

    ive seen his standup specials and loved them, but I can see that a weekly show that seems to "set-up" would not be as good.

    It's entertaining at best, good for a chuckle or two :3

    he used to be so funny :( idk what happened to him. the Walter parts are still good imo, and i love Achmed.. but the rest is kinda pointless.

    I'm a huge jeff dunham fan. I saw him live in Tampa last year and he was amazing but not really digging this new show. It seems all the comedians are getting their own shows like this and none of them are really that good
