I thought he was really funny, I guess I'm in the minority here. Then again I like Dane Cook and that's look upon as some type of sin around here.
I find him fairly funny.. I didn't like his show, but his first two stand up routines were very funny in my opionion. His third.. meh.. Now I wonder if the people that like him are over 30? That would have been a better part of the question. If you find him funny, what age group are you in.
As for his routine being racist.. geez.. what comic doesn't have topics that are sexist or racist in someway. Any joke could offend someone. Chappelle, freaking hilareous but infused race into his humor, Foxworthy, was all about redneck humor, Carlin was all about being dirty. My favorite comedy right now is from Tosh.O, but half his stuff is stereotyping offensive. I mean even Jim Gaffigan offends bacon and hotpocket lovers!!

I know it's cliche, but I only think Ahmed is funny. I really hate that stupid monkey thing. How many times can the joke of him pronouncing his name "Je-f-f DunHAAAAAM" be funny? Answer: Never. Number of Attempts at That Joke in A Single Routine: 9 million. Number Of Ears Ripped Off My Head: 2.
I really liked Spark of Insanity. However, I definitely don't like everything he does. I hate Peanut.
Jeff Dunham was VERY funny in standup. And then Comedy Central gave him his own show, and it was HORRIBLE. I couldn't even watch it.
NO, he might be the worst comedian working today. not once has he made me even chuckle, he just makes me angry
I don't really find him funny. That said, I've only seen his Achmed routine, and it was shown to me by a side of the family I hate (which may have had a factor on it. I mean, they were laughing like madmen at a 'World's Largest Zit' video. At which point I left else I would have called them total idiots).
Truly funny puppetry can be found in Avenue Q. Dammit, it's leaving London soon!

The Jeff dunham craze is really bizzare. When I first saw him I was happy to see someone using puppets again it was almost a dead art. Yes his jokes are very stereotypical but at the time I laughed so I guess it should be fine if you don't take any offense after all it isn't like other standups where they are making a real effort to say the most offensive thing possible to pull laughter out of ya. And to be honest his standup without the puppets is dead in the water.
Now he's like super popular with massess loving him and anti massess anti loving him and to be quite honest I never thought he earned either groups attention.
