Ventriloquist's dummies, being so distinctively human and yet at the same time, so not human are just a little bit creepy...and in some cases, a lot creepy.
In the past the dummies used by ventriloquist were not as funny as they are today, actually they were weird and creepy looking and i can’t find any good reason why a sane person would find pleasure in watching such a show. These days however things have changed and ventriloquist like Jeff Dunham give some of the most entertaining comedy show on Earth!
