Who is Jeff Dunham? That's a serious question, I am not being funny. Could someone explain to a continental European who you are talking about and why people feel one way or another about him?

Enough with this "all the hate" rhetoric because it is inappropriate for the subject. Hate is too strong a word for what you really mean. Are there anti Jeff Dunham groups out there that have real weight to their cause and not on Facebook? Are there people out on the side of the road protesting his concerts?
Some people don't like him. Some people do. I am in the middle of people that are apathetic towards the man.
What you really mean is "all the dislike."

Achmed is probably the only part of his routine, some part of Peanut withstanding, that I like. He really does lose his appeal after seeing the routine more than once though.
Granted I haven't seen anything from him since his like first two specials, but I thought he was hellafunny.
My favorite comedian though will always be Christopher Titus though. Man can find funny in the darkest of places.

Maybe it's because all of his minority characters are somewhat racist. I know someone already ninja'd me on this.
His first stand up I thought was kinda funny, and then after that I just stopped caring, so meh.
Even the fews puppets that I thought were funny are now kind of annoying to me, and the other puppets I find very annoying, especially Peanut. I just ignore him now, and find him very unfunny.

I rather like him a lot. Not quite love but he's awesome either way.
Honestly, he just amuses me. I don't like all of his act. Actually, I can like all of them except the superhero puppet. And some of them are only funny when they are teamed with others.

Man, I was beginning to think I was the only person who liked Brian Regan.HumpinHop said:
Anyway, Dunham's early stuff is good, while his later stuff is ok. Like any act, there's parts I don't find funny and others I laugh at. On the whole, he's alright.
Brian Regan is the man. My brother and I quote him to this day. "Got some apples? Cran-apples! Got some grapes? Cran-grape! Got some pork chops? CRAN-CHOPS!"TokenRupee said:
And, as for the topic, I feel that the phrase "undeserving of his fame" above is a bit harsh. The guy works hard and people like him. If they want to make him popular, it's not up to him. It's not a discussion of whether he deserves it, it's whether he worked for it. And he did. I salute the man for making a good living off of puppets. Takes talent.
But you know how it goes, something becomes popular and then the hate starts a-flowin'. Wouldn't take much mind of it.
I used to love Jeff Dunham, up until the point Comedy Central gave him his own show. It was the most unfunny thing i'd had ever seen, he told almost no jokes. It was all horrible sketches that made next to no sense. Now I can't watch him anymore without being reminded about how bad his show was and how much I hated it.
