    Walter 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/walter_5.png
Shut the hell up!
One of Jeff's oldest puppets, and easily the most popular because of his character. A crotchety old-timer who constantly complains about his love life while offering Jeff sound, but at times questionable marriage advice.
  • All Men Are Perverts: He's a huge pervert, and finds that Girl on Girl Is Hot. In the Christmas special, Walter even takes a moment to toggle "badunkadunk chick" who he mistakes for his screen saver. The only women he refuses to consider in any way, romantic or sexual, is his wife.
  • Awful Wedded Life: Zig-zagged. One of the most consistent things when it comes to Walter is how much he complains about his wife. Despite this, Walter admits that he still loves her, much to his chagrin. He even states he's never once cheated on her.
  • Character Catchphrase: "Shut the hell up!"
  • Clint Squint: His eyes are blue, but you can't tell because they don't open any wider.
  • Cool Old Guy: As unarguably cantankerous as he is, he still knows South Park and its They Killed Kenny Again gag.
    Walter: (Looking right at camera) This is Comedy Central. I can see Cartman... I can see Kenny...Oh, he just got killed.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: invoked In the Arguing with Myself special, Walter answers some questions Jeff got from the audience before the start of the show. When he answers a question about what his favorite toy was growing up and going off on a tangent involving condoms, Jeff decides to have Walter answer a question he did not plan on bringing up. For obvious reasons:
    "Dear Walter, why is it that I gag when I brush my tongue but not when I give my boyfriend oral sex?" (Beat) Well, obviously, your toothbrush is bigger!
  • The Cynic: Especially when it comes to marriage. He believes nothing good can come out of it, considering Jeff getting married after his divorce to be similar to a man strapping himself back into an electric chair.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Walter is, arguably, a master of being a Deadpan Snarker. Comes with being an old man, most likely.
  • Death Seeker: Heavily downplayed. Walter hasn't expressed any such suicidal thoughts and seems quite keen on living, but he does tell Jeff in Arguing with Myself that the marriage phrase "'till death do us part" isn't so much as a vow and promise to stick by one's spouse, but rather the groom setting a goal. Of course, he could also just be hoping his wife kicks the bucket before him.
  • Dirty Old Man: Calling Jeff's second wife Audrey a nice chair (It Makes Sense in Context) probably counts.
  • Disappeared Dad: In Relative Disaster, Walter is heavily implied to be Jeff's biological parent, something neither of them is thrilled about.
    Jeff: So you're saying you, you think you could be my-? Well, that's awful!
    Walter: Well, how do you think I feel?! I could have an adult son who still plays with fucking dolls!
  • The Dreaded: To Achmed. The dead terrorist calls him a "mean son of a bitch" and is always terrified by the mere mention of the old codger.
  • Everyone Has Standards: A Jerkass extraordinaire, but he still considers infidelity to be distasteful and never engaged in it himself.
  • Exact Words: Walter mentions in Unhinged in Hollywood that his wife wanted to "see a diamond" for her birthday. He took her to a baseball game.
  • Gasshole: According to Achmed in Spark of Insanity:
    "Saddam's mustard gas was nothing compared to a Walter fart!"
  • Grumpy Old Man: The fact that everyone knows someone like this is probably the main reason why Walter's so popular. He's rude and can find something to bitch about, be it his wife, other people, or even the weather.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's rude, but there are a few occasions in which he's a very nice old geezer. He offers Jeff marriage advice based on his own personal experiences, and despite ranting about his wife, he does love her and has never cheated on her.
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall: He's not as fully aware as Peanut, but he does know he's a puppet and can't do much without Jeff. At the end of one of Jeff's shows, when the producer tells Jeff that he can stay but Walter has to go, the old codger kindly tells him:
    "Don't fuck with a puppet, dude!"
    • During the Minding the Monsters special, Walter lampshades this further when he complains that, during his and his wife's wedding, he tried to protest against it but no one would listen. When Jeff tells him that the people attending couldn't hear him...
      "Hey, you're right. You weren't there!"
  • Oh, Crap!: On two occasions in All Over the Map.
    • Played for laughs while in Iceland. Walter's response to Jeff telling him that women in Iceland have a life expectancy of ninety to a hundred years?
      Walter: Send my wife home immediately. What is this, hell on Earth?!
    • While Jeff and the crew are in Abu Dhabi, Walter sees the Arab audience and promptly panics before telling Jeff to not bring out Achmed. It's notably the only time Walter is genuinely afraid of something that doesn't have anything to do with his wife (and even with his wife, he still fires off plenty of barbs at her expense).
  • Only Sane Man: He comes off as this compared to the other puppets...but he's not perfect either.
  • Pet the Dog:
    • In All Over the Map, Walter greets the crowd in Israel with a respectful, "Shalom"note . It's one of the few, if the only time Walter is polite.
    • Walter’s interactions with Darci Lynne are probably the kindest he's ever been to anyone in his life.
  • A Rare Sentence: In the Beside Myself Netflix special, Jeff asks how Walter's doing after bringing him on-stage. Walter initially replies in the negative, only to quickly retract his answer and says "everything is awesome!" This is one of the few times he's actually in a good mood and explains why: He's suing his wife for sexual harassment.
  • Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!: He doesn't even try to be polite. With a few key exceptions, Walter's rude to everyone he meets.
  • We Want Our Jerk Back!: invoked Discussed by Walter in Controlled Chaos and Minding the Monsters. When Jeff asks if he could be more upbeat, Walter rebukes him and says his show would suck. From a meta standpoint, he has a point as one of Walter's main appeals is that he's funny because everyone knows someone like Walter in their life.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: A comedic one. When Walter finds out that Jeff, after having recently undergone a divorce, is now engaged, he promptly asks Jeff what the hell was wrong with him, comparing the whole thing to an inmate willingly strapping himself back into the electric chair.

    Peanut 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peanut_5.png
That's good, that's good, that's goooooooood!
Another one of Jeff's oldest puppets. A hyperactive weird thing called a "woozle", he's got a Motor Mouth few can match, and almost always finds a way to annoy Jeff. He's also the only puppet to realize he's actually a puppet.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: Peanut knows that he's a puppet and takes full advantage of this to annoy Jeff whenever he can. This usually comes in the form of calling out the stick that controls his arm and mocking Jeff with his own puppet.
  • Cartoon Creature: He resembles some weird purple gorilla thing.
  • Character Catchphrase:
    • "That's good, that's good, that's GOOOOOODD!"
    • "WHAA-AAT?", said sometimes before Jeff gets onto him for saying something offensive.
    • "Neeeee-yooooooow!", complete with hand motions to indicate that a joke went over someone's head.
    • And pronouncing Jeff's name as Jeff-fa-fa. Dun-HAM.note 
    • "AAAAAAHHH! What the hell is that?!" if he happens to see the stick that works his left arm.
  • Deadpan Snarker: In rare quieter moments for Peanut, he can be this. Like giving a rather subdued "Fascinating" after learning someone was a “business analyst”.
  • Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: He gets offended anytime José insults his mother and sister.
  • Fashionable Asymmetry: He only wears one shoe.
  • Hidden Depths: Out of all of Jeff's puppets, Peanut is the last one you'd expect to know Spanish. In Arguing with Myself, he sincerely apologizes and briefly speaks with Jose in the latter's native tongue.
  • Hypocrite: Mocks Jose and his family all the time out of racism and cruelty, but the second Jose snaps back he gets offended, at one point even calling him the jerk.
  • Japanese Ranguage: He makes a point of doing this during his "Taste of China" bit. And then when reading a letter in response to said bit.
  • Irony: Despite his name, (And according to the first episode of "The Jeff Dunham Show") it was shown that he was allergic to nuts. (And this happened when he was on a date with Brooke Hogan.)
  • Jaw Drop: Usually when José decides to bite back.
  • Jerkass: Often towards Jeff and José and occasionally towards certain members of the audience.
  • Keet: Very much. When he is not being racist (or at the very least, racially insensitive), he is a hyperactive spazz.
  • Kick the Dog: Played for Laughs. His treatment of Jose is downright physically and verbally abusive. He put him in a vegetable steamer, slammed him a car door, and makes racist jokes at his and his family’s expense.
  • Large Ham: By far, the hammiest of the puppets. Subtlety is not Peanut's forte.
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Peanut seems to be the only one that's aware that he's a puppet and knows the limitations of being one and the role of the Ventriloquist.
  • Motor Mouth: Can go off on tangents so long even he loses track on what he’s saying.
  • Must Have Caffeine: He does at least one routine after a visit to Starbucks.
  • No Indoor Voice: Peanut tends to be very loud.
  • Non-Standard Character Design: Made entirely of felt, unlike the other puppets who are made of plastic.
  • No Sense of Personal Space: He gets in Jeff's face a lot.
  • Pet the Dog: Cares for his mother and sister, as he gets pretty pissed of whenever Jose makes a joke about them.
  • Red Oni: To everyone else's blue, practically, but especially José when they're on together.
  • Politically Incorrect Hero: Out of all the puppets, he makes the most racist jokes, ironically despite being one of the few that isn't an ethnic stereotype.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: As far as Peanut is concerned, the entire show is about him.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: Downplayed. While they may argue and Peanut treats Jose like crap whenever they're on stage with each other, they are capable of being friendly with each other and seem to be friends to an extent.
  • Who's on First?: Has a skit involving a wifi-password version of this in "Jeff Dunham's Completely Unrehearsed Last-Minute Pandemic Holiday Special".

    José Jalapeño on a Stick 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jose_2.png
I am José Jalapeño...on a steek!
Exactly What It Says on the Tin. A Jalapeño on a stick, José is almost always paired up with Peanut, and is the quickest to shoot back insults whenever Peanut annoys him.
  • Butt-Monkey: To Peanut, during their appearances together. When he's not busy burning Peanut.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Only when Peanut is involved since he's usually paired up with the annoying purple thing.
  • The Dog Bites Back: Frequently on the receiving end of Peanut's insults... but some of his comebacks are not to be neglected:
    Peanut: Hey, ever met José's sister?
    José: Don't do it.
    Peanut: She's really hot! (laughs hysterically) I'm just kidding, José!
    José: I know; you're more into fruit.
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall:
    • He, like Peanut, is also aware that Jeff is a Ventriloquist and he is a puppet. Both he and Peanut were visibly freaked out when Jeff asked them to stop talking to each other in Spanish, because he couldn't speak Spanish. José even sings the theme song to The Twilight Zone in response.
    • He does it again later when Jeff is forced to put him back in his box due to him singing very loudly for the audience, complete with his voice getting muffled as Jeff closes the lid. After a short exchange consisting of the lid being opened and closed (and Jose's voice getting muffled and unmuffled) Jose pauses and comments, "It's a good trick, señor."
  • Nice Guy: Definitely one of the nicer puppets, though he can be quite biting to Peanut (justly so).
  • Put on a Bus: He's noticeably absent in a few of Jeff's performances, or at least in the physical release of his specials. Despite appearing in Jeff's intro in All Over the Map, he doesn't appear once in the special itself.
  • Sitcom Archnemesis: He has this relationship with Peanut big time.
  • Verbal Tic: "On a Steek." Also extends to his fans; just try to refer to him as just José Jalapeño.  
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: Downplayed. While he and Peanut argue frequently and Jose is often the brunt of Peanut's verbal abuse, they are capable of being friendly with each other and consider themselves friends to a certain extent.
  • X on a Stick: As stated, he's a jalapeño pepper...on a steek.
  • Your Mom: His go-to comeback remark towards Peanut.

    Achmed the Dead Terrorist 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/achmed_2.png
Silence! I keel you!
One of Jeff's newer puppets who quickly rose to stardom because of his character. He's, well, a dead terrorist, but he's a rather pleasant guy once you get to know him.
  • Abusive Parent:
    • To Achmed Junior, although AJ isn't above making cracks and practical jokes at his expense.
    • His own father wasn’t the best, though it was more out of confusion than any malice. For example, he accidentally blew the legs off of a young Achmed’s dog because he mistook the phrase "blowing up" balloons.
  • Affably Evil: Downplayed for comedic purposes. He tries to come off as being evil, but he fails at it miserably, and he's lately started to have second thoughts about the whole suicide bomber thing.
  • All Men Are Perverts: Zigzagged. He has 47 wives, and Relative Disaster has him mention he got "pretty far" with another terrorist. That being said, he's more interested in goats.
  • Anti-Villain: He’s a massive failure of a terrorist and is actually quite the pleasant guy when chatting with Jeff and the audience.
  • Arch-Enemy: To Melvin the Superhero from their debut appearance in Spark of Insanity. Their last confrontation involved a game of checkers where Achmed would blow up Melvin's kings, only to end with Melvin issuing a verbal threat and Walter gassing him.
  • Ax-Crazy: He’s fairly unstable, taking great pride in being a violent terrorist and threatening to kill Jeff and others.
  • Breakout Character: He stars in his own spin-off animated movie, Achmed Saves America, and is along with Walter the most popular part of Dunham's act, despite starting as no more prominent than half a dozen other characters. Jeff lampshades this during All Over the Map, where he's flabbergasted by the insane popularity Achmed's brought him following his first appearance.
  • Butt-Monkey:
    • To the other puppets.
    • To the Terrorist Organization he worked for too. The new guy (an idiot trying to practice) is the reason why he's a skeleton. He lost his son to "Take Your Kid To Work Day." And he didn't realize he was dead until Jeff told him.
  • Character Catchphrase:
    • "SILENCE! I KEEL YOU!"
    • When he is first brought out, he usually says, "GREETINGS, INFIDELS!"
    • When asked where someone or something is after one of his bomb stories, he normally says, while looking around, "over there, over there, and up there."
  • Dem Bones: He's a skeleton who Was Once a Man, and there's a lot of jokes revolving around him being nothing but bones.
  • Drives Like Crazy: Implied in Controlled Chaos when Peanut and Jose mention Achmed driving a truck and shaking their heads in dismay.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He loves AJ, despite their differences, and cares enough about one of his wives to still be upset that’s she pissed he accidentally killed their son.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: As he demonstrates in the Christmas Special; he is wearing a "holiday (and not Christmas) hat" so as not to offend "the other infidels".
    Jeff: You're—you're a terrorist. You kill people.
    Achmed: …That's different. Killing folks is easy. Being politically correct is a pain in the ass!
  • Friendly Skeleton: He's actually pretty fun to be around, having admitted that the whole "suicide bomber" thing didn't work out so well.
  • Funny Foreigner: He’s a thick-accented stereotypical Middle Easterner and a Comically Serious buffoon.
  • Harmless Villain: Ultimately died in a complete accident before he had a chance to be a suicide bomber and is pretty much useless as a skeleton.
  • Hazy-Feel Turn: He was Laughably Evil at worst, but otherwise still a terrorist (albeit a really ineffective one). Come Controlled Chaos, however, he seems to have turned a new leaf. Sort of. He still mentions threatening people with bombs, but again, he's ineffective and Laughably Evil.
  • I Call Him "Mister Happy": He has a "phantom wee-wee" named Robert. "Unless it's really cold. Then it's Bob."
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Is a unrepentant terrorist and can be rude to others (even his son) but he can be nice when he wants to and does love AJ.
  • Laughably Evil: He tries to come off as evil, but he's really anything but.
  • Luke, You Are My Father: When AJ shows up during Controlled Chaos.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Felt genuinely bad for killing one of his sons (possibly AJ) on "Take Your Kid to work day".
  • Not Me This Time: Inverted, then played straight. During All Over the Map, when Jeff and company visit Iceland, Achmed states that he is taking credit for whatever damages caused by volcanoes, which he hates because they blow up naturally and fears they'll put him out of the job. Then later in Scotland, Jeff tells Achmed a fact that he learned specifically for him, namely that Scotland is the murder capital of Europe. Achmed's response?
    Achmed: I didn't do it! I had nothing to do with this shit!
  • Oh, No... Not Again!: In the Christmas Special, Achmed's legs slip off the stand he's sitting on, eliciting this reaction. It happens to him very often in future appearances.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise:
    • Enforced for All Over The Map, and for good reason; In Malaysia, Jeff was told that he couldn't use Achmed the Dead Terrorist during the show for cultural reasons. He relates this message to the audience, saying he would like to keep his word to the Cultural Ministry, but he would also want to give them their money's worth; enter Achmed's brother, "Jacques Merde, the French Terrorist" who is, in reality, Achmed with a beret and mustache speaking Gratuitous French, and whose name means "Jack Shit".
    • In the I'm with Cupid special, Jeff has Achmed once again go incognito, albeit for unspecified reasons beyond that he did something that caused Jeff to exclude him to an extent. In keeping with the theme of the Valentine's Day-themed special, Jeff has Achmed pose as a greek god named "Achamedes". Much like "Jacques Merde", Achmed's only alterations are the toga, laural wreath on his head, and the patch of hair atop his skull.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: Sees his wives as mere numbers, makes jokes about the Jewish community, and gets progressively more pissed off at AJ when he shows interest in men.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Subverted. While he does have bloodshot eyes with red irises, he's far from dangerous (though he'd have you believe otherwise).
  • Running Gag: Aside from All Over the Map, Achmed's legs either slip off the stand, his arms or his ribcage come falling off. Unhinged in Hollywood exaggerates the gag with all of this happening to him, much to his dismay. It gets to the point where Achmed and Jeff agree to end the show.
  • So Proud of You: Expresses pride in AJ when the latter uses his signature "I kill you".
  • Suspiciously Specific Denial: When Jeff asks him about his thoughts on Osama Binladen's death in Controlled Chaos, Achmed suddenly clams up and starts spouting this, such as denying being involved in Osama's death and claiming he took Navy Seal training "just for laughs".
  • Taking You with Me: In his debut appearance Spark of Insanity, Achmed states he died while filling up his car and answered the phone when the bomb went off earlier than expected. While obviously disappointed, he's at least happy he "took that Verizon bastard with [him]".
  • That's What She Said: He has a field day with this trope in Controlled Chaos, much to Jeff's annoyance. Every time Jeff asks him to stop, Achmed replies this way, until Jeff tricks him.
    Jeff: So you were talking to Walter earlier.
    Achmed: (upset) Dammit!
  • Token Evil Teammate: While the other puppets can be jerks, Achmed is an outright murderous terrorist, even if he fails at it.
  • Took a Level in Cheerfulness: While a pleasant and decent guy (terrorist occupation notwithstanding), Achmed's initial appearances have him trying to be intimidating and frightening. His first appearance had him growling and snarling at Jeff in an attempt to come off as scary. Starting from Controlled Chaos, however, he's considerably more upbeat and laid-back. Relative Disaster even sees him bombastically introduce Jeff to his audience in Ireland. This is lampshaded by Walter in the same special, who attributes Achmed's more cheery disposition to his Breakout Character status.
    Walter: He went from dead terrorist to Hollywood diva. I'm telling ya, the fame went to his skull.
  • Tomato in the Mirror: He "realizes" he's Achmed the Dead Terrorist in his first appearance, then ashamedly admits he was victim of a bomb vest that he "set for thirty minutes but it went off in thirty seconds!"
  • Villain Protagonist: In the Achmed Saves America animated movie.

    Bubba J 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bubba_j.png
I'm doin' purdy good!
A lazy-eyed drunk who lives in a trailer park. He's been with Jeff for almost as long as he has with Peanut and Walter.
  • The Alcoholic: Turns out he doesn't even drink water, as he confesses in the Christmas Special.
    Peanut: Three interventions, and he got drunk at every one of 'em!
  • All Men Are Perverts: Definitely the most perverted of the lot. Bonus points for sometimes being this with his family members.
  • Deep South: He is the embodiment of practically every known white trash stereotype.
  • A Dog Named "Dog": Well, Doug, but the "u" is silent.
  • Dumb Is Good: He's not the brightest, but he means well and gets along with the other puppets (except Walter).
  • Expy: He bears a very strong physical resemblance to Mortimer Snerd and most of his material is stolen from Jeff Foxworthy.
  • Innocently Insensitive: Definitely comes off more as this than a flat out Jerkass like the others. For example, he seemed to genuinely not get that Santa wouldn’t be into eating one of his own reindeer after Bubba set him on fire.
  • Mad Eye: Only one of his eyes is mobile.
  • Nice Guy: A bit of a dim-witted pervert, but he’s a friendly guy.

    Sweet Daddy D 
A puppet who appears in Arguing with Myself. Hired on as Jeff's manager, he describes himself as a "player in the management profession", or rather a pimp in other words.
  • Chick Magnet: Despite being little more than a chunk of wood, he's got enough game to have two ladies sitting by his side.
  • Put on a Bus: Sweet Daddy D hasn't made any appearances in Jeff's shows since his debut. In the brief opening segment of Minding the Monsters, his name appears on the tombstone alongside other puppets who haven't appeared in recent years, implying Jeff's retired him. He gets a brief mention in Relative Disaster by Walter, though.

    Melvin the Superhero 
A puppet who appears in Spark of Insanity. As his name states, he's a "superhero" who fights crime, but the only superpower he has is his ability to see through walls and people's clothes.
  • Affectionate Parody: Of superhero characters in general. He dresses like one, but his only superpower is X-Ray vision. He actually riffs on other superheroes, crudely dismissing Flash as being on meth and Aquaman's ability to breathe underwater and talk to fish as being the same as Spongebob.
  • All Men Are Perverts: Happily and unashamedly tells Jeff, yes, his X-Ray vision does let him see through clothes and ogles women in the audience. Except for the one wearing silicon, he can't see through the stuff.
  • Arch-Enemy: He states his is Pinocchio of all people.
  • Berserk Button: Gets pissy whenever someone mentions his nose. When Jeff mentions it when bringing up the eBay tag on his costume, Melvin shoot him a Death Glare.
  • Gag Nose: His nose has a rather, erm...peculiar shape, to put it mildly.
  • Put on a Bus: Melvin hasn't made any further appearances since his debut in Spark of Insanity. In the opening movie of Minding the Monsters, his name appears on a headstone alongside others with the names of puppets who haven't been seen in recent years, implying he's been retired.

    Seamus 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/seamus1.jpeg
Touch me like that again, and I'll bite your fucking arm off!
A puppet who appears in Relative Disaster. He is an Irish baby who is adopted by the Dunhams... except he's a perverted baby who can speak full sentences, can swear, and loves getting drunk.
  • The Alcoholic: Like Bubba J. He's actually not very keen about living with the Dunhams, namely because the bars in America actually close.
  • All Men Are Perverts: Or baby. Seamus in particular, since he's a baby, really likes breasts.
  • Baby Talk: Averted. Despite being an infant, he can talk in full sentences and can swear.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Threatens Jeff and swears like a sailor, but just as often friendly converses with him.
  • Precision F-Strike: His very first line.
    "Touch me like that again and I'll bite your fucking arm off."
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: Any mother of an infant child would be appalled to hear how often Seamus swears. He claims Peanut taught him how to curse, though.
  • Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Talks like a fully-grown adult? Check. Loves to get drunk? Check. Swears like a sailor? Check. Are we sure Seamus isn't really a dwarf masquerading as a baby?

    Larry 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jeff_dunham_hollywood_walk_of_fame.jpg
I'M LARRY!
A puppet introduced in Beside Myself. Approximately four hours before he was introduced, he was named the Personal Adviser to President Donald Trump, and suffice to say he is not pleased with his job.
  • Beleaguered Bureaucrat: He's trying to help, but he got stuck with what he thinks is the worst job possible: being the Adviser to Donald Trump.
  • Butt-Monkey: Working for Trump has not been kind to him, leaving him a twitchy, cigarette smoking mess who jumps and screams at the slightest touch.
  • Cigarette of Anxiety: If you couldn't tell when you first meet him, he's a stress smoker. Not that we blame him, since he has to deal with, in his eyes, one of the most temperamental politicians ever.
  • The Cynic: When it comes to politics. Larry tells Jeff not to give his political opinions, because half the audience (whether Jeff supports Trump or opposes him) will now hate his guts.
  • George Jetson Job Security: Four hours before the show started, when he got the job, he was apparently fired before Trump had breakfast, then got rehired after lunch.
  • Hidden Depths: Despite his apparent negative views towards politics, he's surprisingly well-informed about it and flat-out tells Jeff to keep his opinions to himself for two reasons. One, regardless of whether he supports Trump or not, he'll be hated by half the audience, and secondly, according to him, no one cares what famous celebrities think.
  • Narcissist: What he thinks of Donald Trump, considering that his fact about Donald Trump being "the greatest President the United States has ever had" came from the President himself.
  • Nice Guy: Ridiculously stressed and a tad cynical, but he’s happy to give advice when not complaining about Trump.
  • Obstructive Bureaucrat: A non-malicious example. He tried to get Trump to stop tweeting to every little thing, but he was attacked by Trump's hair.
  • Prehensile Hair: Not his hair, but he definitely believes that Trump's hair is alive. When he tried to take Trump's phone away to get him to stop tweeting, his hair attacked Larry in retaliation.
  • Sharp-Dressed Man: Subverted. He looks like he's wearing a nice suit, but it's wrinkled and he looks like he just got put through the wringer.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: His voice and mannerisms are remarkably similar to Peanut's, though he's definitely more cynical.
