Jeff: Al'right so listen Achmed, so where did you come from?Īchmed: Your freaking suitcase. Jeff: Well did they say it would only be, female, virgins?Īchmed: Wait. Are you my virgins?

Which is why Dunham defends his V8-powered Gremlin as “the poor man’s Corvette,” to which Jay quips that it’s more like “the homeless man’s Corvette.”īut who knows? Maybe the Gremlin is actually a pretty decent car! And hell, maybe Dunham’s Achmed the Dead Terrorist character is a biting and insightful commentary on our current geopolitical anxieties, and not a racist, one-note joke that only plays well in front of xenophobic audiences!
Jeff and Jay discuss some of he actually interesting history of the Gremlin, including the fact that the design was first sketched on an airline barf bag, and that the vehicle was introduced on April 1, 1970, as if to test the American public’s sense of humor.Īnd since it was meant to compete with the Vega and Pinto, two other frequently mocked economy cars, one could credibly argue that the Gremlin was the best of the worst. The first is a green 1972 Gremlin, and the second, even “cooler” version is a 1973 special edition Levi’s model, complete with a denim interior that suits Jay Leno like… well, like one of his many pairs of denim shirts and jeans. To be fair, Jeff Dunham’s Gremlin “collection” is really just two cars. After all, Gremlins are to cars what ventriloquism is to comedy.ĭunham showed off his pride and joy during a recent episode of Jay Leno’s Garage.

No, not Gremlins, the 1984 comedy-fantasy film that sometimes airs on the movie channel AMC-we’re talking about Gremlins, the little-loved subcompact that the American Motors Corporation manufactured from 1970 to 1978.Īnd in a way, it makes perfect sense. For example, well-respected comic Jerry Seinfeld is a well-known Porsche aficionado, Indianapolis-born late night host David Letterman loves Indy racing, buff UFC commenter Joe Rogan is obsessed with American muscle, and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham likes… AMC Gremlins. There seems to be a big crossover between comedy and car enthusiasm, with many comedians having a unique affection for certain types of vehicles. Jay Leno “admires” Jeff Dunham’s classic AMC Gremlins
