Revisiting Jeff & Achmed
Won Over By Reality
By Tim Bayer
BRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—6/17/2013—This week, my post comprises another installment in a running riff I began last Monday titled Ventriloquism Gets a Makeover.
That video reminded me of another ventriloquism video I saw quite some time ago. Jeff Dunham features several characters in his stand-up act. The video I am sharing this week centers on one of Jeff’s most popular characters, Achmed, The Dead Terrorist.
This video’s been around (and cracking people up) for a few years, now. If you have not seen it, I can assure you it is very, very funny. If you have seen it, it’s worth revisiting a second (or third) time.

(If you, yourselves, come across an entertaining link or video, I’d be interested in seeing it, and sharing it with my readers at Weekly Hubris. Please contact me at: Email: [email protected].)

Tim, Dean actually has tapes of this routine. We split our sides when the character first appeared, and Jeff and Achmed never fail to amuse. Thanks for the re-visitation. e
