I'm with Cupid

Jeff Dunham approaches Valentine’s Day by dressing his trademark puppets in thematic attire and putting them through relationship-focused routines. Filmed at the Straz Center in Tampa, Florida, the 2024 Comedy Central release serves as Dunham’s 12th television special, carrying a lean 42-minute runtime. The core conceit involves his long-running cast of characters offering their cynical or bizarre takes on romance.

Walter leads the charge, reluctantly costumed as Cupid while grumpily declaring he would rather be working at Walmart. Peanut brings a more chaotic energy, prompting Dunham to explain how his eight-year-old twin sons have taken to mimicking the puppet’s signature sound effects around the house. The lineup also introduces Achamedes, a Greek god of love who looks suspiciously like Achmed the Dead Terrorist with a toga thrown over his skull. Meanwhile, Bubba J runs through his limits with alcohol, keeping to his established brand of Southern-fried simpleton.

The special debuted on Comedy Central in February 2024 before moving to streaming platforms. It shows Dunham operating entirely within his comfort zone, delivering the reliable formula that has sustained his arena tours for decades.
