Edit request: edit semi protected[edit]

Please add information about the 2014 controversy from Malaysia due to Achmed.

In a 2014 show in Malaysia, the government requested that he not use or name Achmed in his show. Due to the restriction, but to avoid disappointing fans, Achmed was renamed to be "Jacques Merde, the Dead French Terrorist" (Jacques Merde meaning "Jack Shit").[1][2][3]

Just to give someone a heads up, there is actually some info in the info box that's missing, his years active info, if someone can add it in if they can. If you do, it states his "Career" section that he began in 1976 in his first television appearance. Also, his marriage section also has to be fixed too.

Example of what to fix/add:

" |active = 1976–present "

"

Paige Brown

(m. 1994⁠–⁠2008)​

On February 28th, 2018 in Sacramento, California's Golden 1 Center, Jeff Dunham introduced his newest character. His name is Bob and is the Personal Advisor to President Donald Trump. He wears a crumpled suit, and sports an unlit cigarette and frizzy orange hair. He shakes from the stress of his job, has a nervous twitch and oftentimes screams things that would otherwise be spoken. As with all of Dunham's characters, even Bob aids Mr. Dunham in preventing anyone from knowing his political stance on various issues. Dunham has historically commented that, "the views of celebrities should not be publicly voiced, because they are not smarter than anyone else". Contrary to what some may presume, even Bob mocks President Trump on various issues.

On February 28th, 2018 in Sacramento, California's Golden 1 Center, Jeff Dunham announced that Jose Jalapeño (on a stick) was "wanting to leave the show to pursue his dream job, working for NASA". This is the announcement that he will be pulled at some point from future performances. Spock1968 (talk) 21:21, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

new puppet[edit]

In Dunham's Passively Aggressive Tour, he added a new puppet named Bob, later changed to Larry, and he's said to be President Trump's personal advisor. He's characterized as a wide-eyed, cigarette smoking, stressed, trembling man who immediately screams "WHAT?!" in a high pitched voice when first addressed. He also has a nervous tick that makes him freeze up with his head tilted at an angle for a couple seconds while letting out a strained grunt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.28.59.139 (talk) 06:07, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dunham's "years_active" should be corrrected from "1976–present" to "1985–present", his career didn't actually start until 1985 when he first joined the broadway show Sugar Babies, according to his "Career" section. 2600:1000:B053:44A5:D51:F48C:76F9:E451 (talk) 21:18, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New character in 2021[edit]

I don't have a source yet -- this is all WP:OR as I attended one of Dunham's performances -- but in 2021 Dunham added the new character "URL" (pronounced "Earl") to his show and lineup. URL is a young kid whose thumbs never stop texting. He's pretty laid back. Anyone working on this article who sees a reference to a puppet "URL" in published sources might have some context now. (There are also YouTube videos uploaded by Dunham which document the creation and naming of this character.) Etamni | ✉ | ✓  06:53, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dunning's purchase of the Batmobile from Batman Returns[edit]

history on this famous car ...

https://blog.dupontregistry.com/sponsored/ben-mallah-from-rags-to-riches-and-a-batmobile/ This is the very Batmobile that appeared in “Batman Returns,” starring Michael Keaton. He bought it for $225,000 and sold it for $315,000 to comedian Jeff Dunham — 

52-year-old comedian/ventriloquist Jeff Dunham spoke to the Wall Street Journal about owning and restoring a Batmobile that was used in Tim Burton's Batman Returns. "I bought a Keaton Batmobile in 2011," Dunham told the Wall Street Journal. [1][2]

this is still being taken to shows as of the 2022 year so this is good data. Sold by Ben Mallah in 2011. Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.124.227.194 (talk) 15:07, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Improper link[edit]

"basic Christian values" should not link to the white supremacist ideology known as "Christian Identity" 68.56.106.199 (talk) 01:57, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. The admins defend it. He's not the only page that links Christianity to White Supremacy... there's no effort for accuracy of neutrality here. 2601:246:5A82:4150:4103:9184:8957:1364 (talk) 01:57, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Where/when did admins defend this? Looking over the article's edit history and this talk page, I don't see this. I don't know who added that wikilink, but it's clearly wrong, so I just removed it. Thanks for pointing it out. Nightscream (talk) 15:31, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
