Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham's second live-performance DVD, Spark of Insanity, is much funnier than his first, Arguing With Myself, perhaps because his new puppets allow him to cover more controversial territory beyond skits about family beefs and office humor. Though some puppets reappear, like the beloved Peanut, a purple monkey who loves wordplay, new characters emerge as the stars of this hour-long stand-up show. A tense laughter ripples through the audience, for example, when Dunham announces his wish to talk with a terrorist as he brings out Achmed the Dead Terrorist, a turban-sporting skeleton who's refrain is "I will kill you!" Previous show star, Jose Jalapeño, a Mexican chili pepper on a stick, returns for a discussion about whether the puppet has a green card. If his racial jokes rode a line slightly too Caucasian to clarify his point of view before, Dunham has achieved real satire in Spark of Insanity, showing his audience how ridiculous it is to create stereotypes of any sort. Additionally, Dunham mocks his own culture with Walter, a grumpy old white man whose parental chiding rings true for many. Moreover, Dunham impresses with his ventriloquism skills, and shows off some new vocalization techniques that will stun anyone interested in this fascinating art. --Trinie Dalton

A night of laughs
I had heard a lot about Jeff Dunham and how funny he is. A friend of mine happened to have this video and let me borrow it. I have never laughed so hard in my life! I immediately logged on to Amazon to order it for my brother-in-law for Christmas. A must see!

Jeff Dunham is FUNNY AS HELL!
I am a fan of Jeff Dunham so my review is a bit biased. Spark of Insanity is a hilarious program that is suitable for most of the family (I don't think little children will get the more mature jokes). Cleaner that "Arguing with myself" though, I don't mind the swearing. Familiar puppets Walter, Peanut and Jose come with new material and Jeff introduces two new guys: Achmed the dead terrorist" and "Melvin the superhero". The jokes with the new superhero's are about their characters, while the jokes with Walter, Peanut and Jose are more like Jeff just chatting with his buddies. All 100% "Funny as Hell"
