Jeff Dunham Fans~

[nosoupforyou]

Thanks guys!
I know we are really looking forward to the show. I said something to my 2 nieces that are also going and they started doing Achmed & Jose impressions. DH & I talked to DD9 and explained to her that there would be some bad language and there might be some jokes that she wouldn't understand. She replied to my husband, with her hand on her hip, "just because he says bad words doesn't mean i'm going to say them!"
Anyway, she'll be going. I dont' think it will scar her for life.

Oh, as far as the age restriction, I looked on his website, and the website of the location where the show is and neither said anything about age. I then called the location and asked and they said there was not an age restriction, but that there was some swearing in the routine. I'll bring ear plugs just in case.

I'll update on Monday and let ya'll know how great it was!!

No, it won't scar her for life. You asked for opinions, but is sounds like you had already made up your mind. My kids have said the same exact thing about how they won't use the bad words when they beg to watch something. If there's a couple of minor bad words, I will approve the movie, but it has to be minor. They do get to watch movies like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, stuff like that. It's the raunchy stuff I don't want them to hear over and over again. My DD said she gets offended when she hears kids cuss on the school bus and knows they are saying it to be cool. I feel though that I would be sending a wrong message by approving her seeing a show like that at such a young age. The bar gets raised rather quickly as to what comes next.

The other thing about my kids, is they do ask questions when they don't "get it." Nothing gets by them. They've always been this way which freaks adults out because many people are used to saying things around their kids that go right over the kids' heads, but my kids will pop out of the group and say, "What's that?"

I would love to see him at the airport too!! ~ "I AM LINDSEY LOHAN!"

As far as the kids getting up and running around the theater They are well behaved kids. DS13 & DD9 know how to act in public....they even say please, thank you, yes ma'am and no ma'am.

Also, if either one of my kids don't understand something, they will ask. And when they ask, I explain. DS has heard stuff on the bus and has asked what various terms/words mean. After I explained what one word meant, he said, That's gross, why would someone call someone else that!
DD is the same way. If they want to know, I will explain....that's how they learn the truth.

Oh, and DS has the SPARKILY routine down to a T....it's hilarious!

One of my favorites!

I just posted this last night on another thread:


Separated at birth:

(now all you Biden fans, it's just good clean fun, no flaming here)



Walter is one of my Faves!

OMG, that is too funny! We too are Dunham fans, (as well as Biden) We just picked up both his DVD's at Virgin Megastore at DTD when we were there. Have been enjoying them. Would love to see him in person.

I didn't mean your kids. I meant kids in general. I would hope at 9 and 13 they knew how to behave. I was commenting on the fact that it bugs me when people bring kids out someplace and they do not know how to act. We are among the mean parents of the world who never let our son climb all over the booths at restaurants, or run around because he was bored, or have a fit in a movie theater and not take him out. You would be amazed how many older kids I see who have no manners and act like brats. Sorry if you thought I was talking about your kids.

I'm sorry if I came across snarky to you...didn't mean to. I know what you mean about the unruley kids in public. My kids often comment aobut them. I love taking my kids places...resturants, movies, etc...but hate it when we see kids in the same age group acting up.
Actually, there were several kids there in my DD's age bracket. Not ALOT, but some. That made me feel better about her being there...also, she had a great time!

The show was AWSOME!!! It was ALL new materal! He did do Jingle Bombs, but other than that it was new....and it was GREAT!!! We were laughing from the time Guitar Guy came out til Jeff did the encore w/ Bubba J! Jeff & Brian (Guitar Guy) wound up ad libbing and doing a lot of improve because they were cracking each other up so much! I know my eyes, & my sisters eyes were watering from laughing so much! The kids had a great time too. There was some adult humor involved, but nothing too extreme that made me regret them being there.

Anyway, if he comes to your town, make sure you go! Also, he's going to be on Comedy Central on December 16th....make sure you TIVO it!!!
Thanks for the opinoins....it's what I asked for!

I love Achmed Is that Walter, yes that is Walter, why? He scares me, he scares you why? He has gas! Walter's gas is worse that Sadaam's mustard gas. Too funny! He will be in town on Dec. 5th and we were going to go but the Arena he is in is so big that you'll lose something not being able to see it up close.

We are going to see him in Manchester, NH in December. I have two extra tickets, since friends backed out on me. DH and I love Jeff Dunham, my friends didn't think they would think puppets were funny. Ha!

We can't wait. I am glad to hear he has some new material, too! I am afraid to watch the special this weekend because I don't want to ruin the live show for me.

I would not let my kids watch it, though.

Glad you had a good time, OP!
