Providing A Non-Hate Crimey Alternative To Jeff Dunham
Look, my reasons for disliking Jeff Dunham are clear. For the most part, it has less to do with the whole ventriloquism being an antiquated and not particularly funny "art form" thing, and almost everything to do with his unapologetic use of hate speech against gays, blacks, Jews, and women thing. But some people are probably saying, "Hey, I get it, Jeff Dunham is a hate-monger. But I love puppets and I love laughing at ventriloquism. Personally I find it to be as vibrant and compelling as ever. I also make my own butter." Well, for those of you, might I offer a choir performing a Beatles cover using their ventriloquist dummies on Hungarian television?
See? You can still enjoy ventriloquism without all of the overt bigotry! Even Jeff Dunham fans could probably enjoy this, as long as they don't see the black ventriloquist in the back row. (Thanks for the tip, Edith and Caroline.)

A refreshingly unique and compelling translation of the source material. Surprisingly enjoyable, given the abundance of dreadful (I'm looking at you, blackberry! I hope you get smart-phone aids!) Beatles covers i see always in every commercial.
A+! Would watch again!

Does having a mustache automatically set you back in ventriloquism school?
Score = 3
You would think the mustache would maybe hide his lips a little so that it wouldn't be so obvious how bad he is at ventriloquism.

What's Principal Rooney doing in the back right? Maybe his kiddie porn fetish started by sticking his hand under a ventriloquist dummy's clothes :(

I note that the dummies are rigidly race-coordinated to their masters (?). Maybe the ventriloquists think the dummies are their babies.

There are SO MANY of your boyfriends on stage, all at once. I really don't even know what to do in this situation...
Honestly, I never thought I would see them all together like this. You must have really broken their hearts. Its endearing how they all chose to come together and sing this song to you, too. Sensitive guys, they are. You really know how to pick them.
I can only imagine what its like for you to see them up there, singing so sweetly, supported by their new, taller, more mustached boyfriends...I'm really sorry. This is just a tough break for everyone.

Inside I said, "Yes! Finally a (poor) reason to use my admittedly very shitty Hungarian skills!" To a native speaker, this probably reads as caveman nonsense. But since I know the words for pain and boyfriend, I couldn't resist!

Whoa, "The Jeff Dunham show is a hate crime" was my facebook status last weekend. And I'm pretty sure I'm friends with Gabe. Gabe, does this mean you read my facebook statuses? Cause awesome.

What I love most about this video (and there is so much to love) is their awkward ventriloquist faces that they all have to make to do that.

Are you sure that this is not a hate crime? Because I think these guys are racist against HAVING EARS.
