Jeff Dunham Is Brilliant!

I've recently become aware of the ventriloquist Jeff Dunham and i've got to say, i'm impressed. I've never really been a big fan of ventriloquism but this guy has me flored. My favourite of his acts is Achmed the dead terrorist! Achmed, the Dead Terrorist is a skeleton suicide bomber, with a beard and a white turban. He is used by Dunham to perform comedy based on the contemporary issue of terrorism. He is known for yelling "Silence! I kill you!" at anyone in the audience who dares laugh at him, as well as "Holy crap!," and "You racist bastard!". Achmed has become a fan favourite as evidenced by the fact that his video on YouTube has received well over 60 million views, as of August 2008 and is one of the most watched videos on the entire site. Achmed has expressed a distaste for Chinese cuisine and Lucky Charms cereal explaining that the foods "go right through [him]!" Despite the jokes Achmed tells, he claims he isn't Muslim because 'Made in China' is written on his ass. His cause of death is uncertain. In "Spark of Insanity" he said he had a "premature detonation," while in the song "Jingle Bombs" he said he was "shot in the ass by the U. S. Military" while a bomb was strapped to his back.

If you've not seen any of this guy well take a look at the video below which is a scene with Achmed the dead terrorist.
