Product Description

Jeff Dunham welcomes "Achmed the Dead Terrorist," "Melvin the Superhero," and long-time favorites "Peanut," "Walter" and Jose Jalapeno...on a STEEK! in an entirely original show for everyone!

Taped at the historic Warner Theater in Washington D.C., this sold out concert is twice the length of the Comedy Central broadcast, with exclusive extras, featuring "The Making of Melvin," "What Would You Put on a Stick?" and a surprise political announcement from Walter!

Spark of Insanity (Blu-ray) is the ultimate event special from one of comedy's most inventive minds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny stuff but be careful..., November 18, 2009

Humor is one of the most subjective things in the world. One man's funny comment is another man's offensive remark. That is why it is very rare when a comedian achieves broad and varid success. Such is the case of Jeff Dunham and his famous(infamous?) cadre of puppets, who have created one of the most recognazible acts in show business and three of the most heavily rotated specials on Comedy Central. Needless to say, in my humble opinion, Jeff Dunham is VERY funny.

Now available ob Blu Ray disc, Arguing With Myself, Spark of Insanity and The Jeff Dunham Christmas Special are filled with plenty of laughs and funny moments one will enjoy again and again. I tend to buy very little discs of this type mainly because after repeated viewings, the material (understandibly) loses it's punch. However after many, and in some instances consecutive, times in my BD player, I have to say I find them all still quite funny. This particular disc (Spark of Insanity) features the debut (on TV at least) of Achmed, the Dead Terrorist, who has become apparently(by the number of viewings on YouTube) the most famous of Dunham creations. For my money however, you can't beat Peanut. I like him for the same reason I like Eric Cartman: They have absolutely no inhibitions. No "edit" button. Jeff Dunham's id if you will. Watching Dunham react to what Peanut says is always funny. If it sounds like I'm convinced that Dunham and Walter, Peanut, Bubba J.and the others are completely seperate, thinking entities, then you can draw a pretty good picture of just how good Jeff Dunham really is. It's not just that he is a good ventriloquist(in that regard, I have seen better), it's the fact that all his puppets, even Jose Jalapeno(on a steek...) have clear, defined characters. Watching these on TV instead of live gives you an advantage over the live crowd as the various camera angles add to the effect of Jeff and his subjects being seperate personalities.

Of course, these being Blu-Ray discs, they look AWSOME, especially compared to the DVD's and TV. For me this was a must-buy and I highly enjoy all of his material so far.

WARNING

When buying these discs, I was tempted to buy the three-pack that contains all three titles. I was shocked to see it costs $80+. Seeing the individual prices of each disc, it didn't add up. Putting each disc seperately in the shopping cart gives youa total of forty-something dollars. ALMOST HALF THE COST OF THE SET!!! So beware and shop smartly.

4.0 out of 5 stars This guy really makes you smile, April 3, 2009

By	Juan Garibaldi Rodriguez "gygmusic" (Monterrey, NL, Mexico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It is a very cocky from Jeff Dunham to realease HD Discs of his shows, but it's worth it.

He is handsome, funny and great ventriloquist.

His puppets: Peanut, Walter and José Jalapeño are crazy, but Achmed makes you laugh till you cry.

I just love this show.

Enjoy it !

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious! This man is amazing!, December 10, 2008

By	T. Pellowe "tlcprn" (Concord, NH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Jeff Dunham is amazing! He is so good at making these "dummies" seem real, that you come to know and love them as characters of their own. From Achmed the dead terrorist ("SILENCE! I keel you!") to Walter the grumpy old man who isn't afraid to tell it like it is and often does, you can't help but laugh. Soon you'll find yourself using "Walterisms" as we call them in our family, in your daily life. There is Peanut the Superhero, and Jose, the Jalepeno on a stick. You've gotta see this one to believe it. One of my family's all time favs.
