Apparel replicating the likeness of comic Jeff Dunham, or his ventriloquist characters, through the Halloween season is a recurring theme. Examples embrace costumes depicting Dunham himself, or representations of characters akin to Walter, Peanut, Jos Jalapeo on a Stick, and Achmed the Useless Terrorist. These costumes usually contain recreating the character’s bodily look by means of clothes, props, and make-up.
The recognition of those representations doubtless stems from Dunham’s broad attraction and the established recognition of his characters. Dressing as these figures offers a readily identifiable and infrequently humorous costume possibility. The historic context consists of the rise of Dunham’s recognition by means of comedy specials and touring performances, thereby establishing his characters inside widespread tradition and making them viable costume selections.
