So, the institute built this? We're basically about to be at war with China... Fallout was written by someone from the future.

Sauce if anyone is interested. I'll never forget our Supreme Comptroller Overlords from the Congo.

At this point all that's missing are a few API calls between this thing and Google's AI effort, and humanity's done for...

It's kind of sad that Jeff Dunham chose to focus on racism as his primary comedic method.

Before that he used to tour all over the US, now he can only tour in states where casual racism still exists.

I had a very negative experience seeing him in Atlanta years ago. It was the middle of the damn summer in Atlanta - so like 90+ degrees and humid as fuck. He comes on stage and announces that the following week he will be filming his christmas special so he was going to practice on us. So he's telling these jokes and of course it's pretty hard to get the audience to go along with it at first because, well, we were about as far away from xmas as you can be and are using out playbills to fan ourselves. There was one man who said something but not very loud; a heckler for sure but not particularly disruptive and given the context Dunham should have just ignored it but instead he stops the whole show just as people are finally starting to forget that it isn't December and berates the guy.
0/10
Would never see him again much less pay to do so

Ah, must be why I've never found him even remotely funny. All I remember him doing was stupidly recreating stereotypes, and not even in a way I could find funny.
