Text Quotes
My goal in any show is to make people laugh. That’s the No. 1 thing. Everything else pales in comparison to that. (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
I had a happy, dramafree youth, growing up in an upper-middle-class neighborhood in Dallas, Texas. The only thing that was slightly unusual compared to most of my friends was that I was an only child... I don’t think that’s why my parents gave me a dummy, at least they’ve never copped to it (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
In 1980, when I graduated from high school, my goal was to be on ‘The Tonight Show’ with Johnny Carson at least once before our ten-year class reunion. Our class reunion was in June of 1990, and I was on ‘The Tonight Show’ in April 1990, so I made it by a few months (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
My mother and my father have always supported me. Now in their eighties, they actually clamor onto the tour bus with me once or twice a year so they can watch the performances and hear the crowds. Traveling with eighty-something-year-olds on a tour bus... there has to be some sort of reality show in that (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
The best place to find material is in real life. I’ve always maintained that it’s not until the mid-20s that you have enough of a life to draw from. There’s nothing better for a comic than to go through some bad stuff - and some good stuff, like getting married (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
We just got a tour bus. I didn’t know tour buses could be this nice. It’s just me, Brian Haner the guitar guy, the tour manager and a writer. We laugh ourselves silly. Apparently we’re going to have a road dog, a miniature pincher. It’s the smallest they’ve ever seen. How masculine am I going to look, working with dolls and a miniature dog? (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
[In my bio] is no drunk driving, there’s no DUI’s, there’s no possession of cocaine, none of that stuff so you know, I don’t know if that’s good or bad. Everybody loves dirty laundry (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
I’ve always said that instead of watching a guy juggle seven things amazingly I would rather see a really bad juggler who’s really funny. (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
It’s amazing how these little guys can say things that a mortal human could never get away with. There’s some sort of unspoken license... when outlandish things come out of an inanimate object, somehow it equals humor. (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
When I was eight years old, I got a dummy for Christmas and started teaching myself. I got books and records and sat in front of the bathroom mirror, practising. I did my first show in the third grade and just kept going; there was no reason to quit (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
I taught myself computer. Then Macintosh came along, and it became a really bad addiction. If I wasn’t in show business, I’d have pocket protectors growing out of my chest. I do everything on it. It’s kinda sick. (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
I think there’s a lot of, unfortunately, unfunny ventriloquists out there, so they’ve got a bad rap. It came after Edgar Bergen because everybody had a little cheeky boy dummy like Charlie McCarthy, and everybody decided to become a ventriloquist because Bergen had popularized it. He brought it back from the doldrums of vaudeville. (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
Family time was very difficult when my girls were little, but I never missed a birthday; I was there for every major event. (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
I think maybe one reason why ventriloquists are looked down on is because it’s very difficult to be funny. I think what happens is that people get a dummy, they learn the technique of ventriloquism, they memorize the script, they think they’re in show business. (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
Every character I’ve had in my act - none of them have a similar creation story. I actually thought up Peanut and designed him in my head. I described him to a woman that was making soft puppets and she drew up some sketches. And the character came to be just because he popped into my head. (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
My parents never discouraged me. There were a couple times when my dad criticized a couple things that I did, but it was nothing. So through the bad shows, I never wanted to quit. (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
Growing up doing those Kiwanis Clubs, doing those Cub Scout banquets, doing those church shows, I learned to find that sensibility that most people could laugh at - that all ages and demographics could laugh at. (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
Growing up, I thought it would be great if I could do big theaters. Now we’re doing arenas. (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
But the mechanics of learning to ‘throw your voice’ are pretty simple. Anyone with a tongue, an upper palate, teeth, and a normal speaking voice can learn ventriloquism (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
Stand-up comedy is tough right now. Anybody can come to a concert, tape you, and put you up on the Internet. You either fight it or embrace it (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
You never know how long your fifteen minutes of fame is going to last (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
I’m a geek to the bone (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
I don’t aim it at anybody specific, I don’t aim my characters to make old people laugh or young people or professionals or blue collar, just whatever I think is going to be funny and it just so happens that (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
A comedian needs to have his own filters, needs to know his audience, how far he can push things (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
As humans we like to laugh at our fears, we like to whistle in the dark (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
I’ve always said that instead of watching a guy juggle seven things amazingly I would rather see a really bad juggler who’s really funny (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
I try to make the majority of my audience laugh. That’s my audience. They’ll laugh at the dead terrorist (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
On weekends when everybody would go to the football games, I would be getting on a plane or driving my car across the state or across the country to go do a show somewhere and yeah so, I never thought of doing anything else (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
Most people when they have autobiographies, they’re not autobiographies, they’re biographies written by a ghost writer (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
I love touring, I love doing the live show and it’s just like a musical artist, you just keep coming up with material and as long as you’re coming up with the material and as long as audiences like it, you just keep doing it, it’s your job (Jeff Dunham Quotes)
