* [[Acceptable Ethnic Targets]]: Achmed, Bubba J, José, Sweet Daddy D...for that matter, it's probably easier to list the puppets who ''aren't'' [[Acceptable Ethnic Targets]].
* [[Acceptable Inevitable Targets]]: Walter.

{{quote| '''Jeff''': ''(after opening applause dies down)'' Well, you can't fool me. I know every bit of that is for the little guys in the suitcase!}}
* [[Love It or Hate It]]: Oh, so much.
* [[Older Than They Think]]: Jeff's been doing ventriloquism his whole life - started in elementary school (fourth grade), high school, college and on. He's done local commercials in Texas, and bits for churches, groups and corporates. When he was in college he toured nationally with the Broadway variety hit ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_Babies:Sugar Babies|Sugar Babies]]'' in 1984-1985. The only character he had from then he still uses is Jose Jalapeno, but many people have had a moment of "Wait, I remember this guy!" when he pulled Jose out.
* [[Pandering to The Base]]: Dunham has been doing this in recent years by featuring Achmed more often and doing more humor to appeal to Southern conservatives.
* [[Periphery Demographic]]: According to Arab-American comic Ahmed Ahmed, goofy acts like Achmed the Dead Terrorist are actually a big hit in the Middle East.
