Jeff Dunham

Written in: Grade 5 | Year: 2009

Would you prefer a dead terrorist, a real grumpy old guy, or a real nut? If you can't decide I'll try to make it easier for you.

Good morning/afternoon judges, principal, teachers and fellow students. Today I'll be talking about Jeff Dunham the ventriloquist. I'll talk about his childhood, his career, his puppets and his puppets catchphrases. I'm gonna tell you this because he is just so funny.

There are many reasons that made Jeff Dunham the man he is today. I'll start with his childhood. Jeff was born in Dallas TX 1960... He grew up as an only child. He stayed in Dallas for twenty-eight years and then Jeff Dunham or Jeffafa moved to Los Angeles. Jeffafa is another story that I'll talk about later.

Now that you know a little bit about Jeffs childhood, let's start on something else. His career is next in line. While Jeff was in Los Angeles he got two different jobs. He was a singer and is now a ventriloquist. He's doing a really good job at being a ventriloquist. He's probably rich thanks to all of his hilarious shows. Every show he performs, almost 1000 people watch his acts.

Now that we know about his career we can move on. His puppets are next to tell about. Jeff has seven puppets. He has a real grumpy old guy named Walter. He's a pretty famous puppet. And another of his excellent puppets is Achmed the dead terrorist. He is or was a suicide bomber. There is a huge nosed man who thinks he's a super powered super hero named Melvin the super hero. Wow that's a mouth full. Now his 1st best number one puppet is Peanut. He's the funniest, weirdest and the happiest puppet of all. He's a purple woozle with one shoe and feathery green hair. He's a bit of a foul mouth to. Don't ask me what a woozle is because I have no clue what it is. He has a Mexican jalapeno on a stick named Jose. One very funny but very bad puppet is sweet Daddy D. He's Jeffs pimp manager who loves to confuse Jeff but not only that him and Peanut love to make fun of him even more. His last puppet is Bubba J. He's a trailer park alcoholic who loves to watch NASCAR. So those are his seven puppets.

So now we know about Jeff's birthday and place, his career, and his puppets we can start memorable lines or catchphrases. Whatever you want to call them. I can't tell you Walter's or sweet Daddy D's for a reason. They are bad. But anyways let's get started. Now I'll tell you about Jeffafa. Peanut always adds an extra F to Jeff's name. Ya he throws in a few F sharps in here and there but that's the everyday comedy for you. Melvin is a fake super hero so he says what five year old kids say when they play pretend super guy man or whatever. He always loves to go really loudly, "Dah Dah Dah Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah". Achmed's is quite popular nowadays and since he hates loudness and is a suicide bomber, he always yells the threatening, "SILENCE I KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!" The crowd loves it when he says that really loud. Jose the jalapeno shares one with Peanut. They share one because Jeff usually makes them talk at the same time. Anyways, his is on a steek for a pretty obvious reason. For the last thing for my speech is Bubba J's. I did mention he is a trailer park alcoholic who loves NASCAR. Can you guess? The first thing he always says is, "I've been doin purtty good. I've been watchin NASCAR and drinkin beer. Ha Ha Ha"

So now you know a little bit about Jeff Dunham. If you forgot I'll give a quick rerun. He was born Dallas TX in 1960, he was a singer and is now a ventriloquist. He has seven puppets that are very funny. And that's it. You can watch him one day. Jeff is amazing. I hope you can see him on TV one day... I hope you enjoyed my speech and thanks for listening to every one here. Thanks again!
