Why are puppets so funny!

I have never seen a comedian use puppets until I saw Jeff Dunham. He has a variety of puppets that appeal to all aspects of life. He has a violent one, a hyper one, a grouchy one, and a shy and quiet one. Not only are his skits funny, he is a great ventriloquist. The puppets seem to be real when you’re watching because you can’t even see Dunham’s mouth move. The only thing that is questionable about his humor is that he has his puppets swear, and sometime quite a bit. So, he really doesn’t do it to for younger children. Jeff stereotypes a lot in his skits. He has a suicide bomber, and he uses what usual person would know, or the stereotypes we have, and he makes up his character. It’s the same with Jose the Jalapeno on a stick, because Peanut asks him if he is an illegal immigrant only because he is Mexican. Jeff shares many of his views, which are views of the majority of the US, and he tells jokes, and pokes fun of them. Even though he stereotypes, and plays the race cards in his acts he is never condemned for it because his puppets are the ones saying the jokes, and he(as a person) tells them that it’s not okay. I think his jokes are very hilarious and relatable, and that’s why I like to watch him.
