List of Jeff Dunham puppets

This is a list of puppets used by American ventriloquist and comedian Jeff Dunham.

*Walter is a retired and grumpy old man with arms always crossed in discontent. Married 48 years, he has a brash, negative, and often sarcastic view on today's world. He is a Vietnam War veteran and a former welder, and "doesn't give a damn" about anyone; especially his own wife and certain audience members.

*Peanut is a purple woozle with a small tuft of green hair on his head, and only one shoe. Peanut was made in Salem, Virginia. Unlike most of Jeff Dunham's puppets, Peanut's eyes and eyebrows are immobile. This allows for a greater range of motion for his head. Peanut also has a rod attached to his left elbow which Jeff operates to further the range of the puppet's movement.

*José Jalapeño on a Stick is a jalapeño pepper with a Mexican personality, a sombrero, and a mustache, whose running joke is adding "on a stick" to the end of most of his sentences. José's movement is restricted to one single motion of the mouth which Jeff operates by using his thumb on the back of José's stick. Although hindered from doing much else, José makes up for his mobility loss with his characteristics, his singing ability, and most of all, his schtick. He lives in a plain pine box, one of Jeff's original character storage trunks. José is usually brought out during Peanut's act and the two often get into an argument, with Jeff in the middle of it all.

*Achmed, the Dead Terrorist is the skeletonized corpse of an incompetent suicide bomber. He is used by Dunham to perform comedy based on the contemporary issue of terrorism. He is known for yelling, "Silence! I kill you!" to people in the audience who laugh at his customs. A ringtone featuring Achmed's act was banned by the South African government after a complaint was filed by a citizen stating that the ad discriminated against Islam and accused all Muslims of being terrorists.

*Melvin the Superhero Guy has only two real powers, X-ray vision, although he can't see through silicone and flying, as far as Dunham can throw him. He claims he'd be more of a superhero if it weren't for his large nose and small stature.

*Bubba J. loves beer and NASCAR. The "J." is short for his last name, Junior. Bubba is married, and is assumed to have at least one child. Outlandish as his characteristically redneck attitude is, another oddity is that the dummy can move just his left eye from center to left.

*Sweet Daddy Dee is an African American "Player In a Management Profession" (pimp), who is referenced as Jeff's new agent. He hates NASCAR and loves women. Sweet Daddy has a signature move of lifting his lips and making a snake slither. He can't tell the any of the other names of his clients, but slips out the initials "O. J.".
