It would be a lot funnier than Jeff Dunham.
It's important to set attainable goals.
Could the parrot have just one sort of funny bit, then ride that one bit for like 30 years? [Cough; bill engvall]
Parrots aren't loud and obnoxious enough.
A parrot would make a perfect pump man. You say something and then the parrot repeats part of it in an obnoxious voice 1 second later.
Like a real parrot, or...?
In my experience, no one would want to deal with the bird owners. They are odd.

Thank you. I now feel like I have a much deeper understanding of JG's affinity for parrots.

The ventriloquists' dummy used to be the way to achieve this vision... Except the dummy was usually the smart one for the act.

I thought I was alone... my wife, her mom, and her sister all love him. To the point we went to one of his shows, and most of his material is just making fun of stereotypes. I just found it very tone deaf. I mean, hes a car guy and thats awesome, but the humor is fairly low bar. Each puppet a new stereotype, some of them verging on racist.
In reply to Apexcarver :
The thing about a parrot doing it, is a parrot doing stereotypes that overstep bounds in a way is mocking humans as an entirety of species. The people that would find the parrots commentary actually humorous would be the people that the parrot is actually making fun of the most.

My buddy thinks he's funny as hell. I don't get it, he's just not funny.
He's not clever or witty, just the same tired schitck over and over again.
Gilbert Gottfried voiced a parrot in Aladdin. Does that count?
I think about what a young lady would say to her parents when breaking the news that she's going to marry Jeff Dunham (same thing with Phil Swift the Flex Seal guy).
"I know, I know, he's a total idiot but he's been pulling down bank for years so..."

That's pretty much how Comics make it big. The Lowest Common Denominator plus whatever gets the most laughs wins.
Look at Dane Cook, Larry The Cable Guy, Tim Allen, Bill Engvall, Jeff Foxworthy, etc. Enough people found their schtik funny that they made good money at it.
Came to find out if anyone said Parrot Top.
Leaving pissed.

Yes, we are a strange lot. BTW, meet Tasha and Bert. JG needs to let me know how he can get a bird in a car without the bird chewing on the car.
In reply to noddaz :
My wife and my sister are veterinarian who see birds (and their owners), and my sister used to be a bird owner.
Though my wife wouldn't do it in a profession setting, it's kind of telling that bird owners just acknowledge that they are wierd when you tell them that right to their face.
Birds can't control when they poop.

Just watch that Ted movie again. That might be the raunchiness you're shooting for.
Or Redd Fox videos.
I liked Jeff 30 years ago (or so) when I first saw him. But that was a long time ago. In many ways.
In reply to aircooled :
They can, to a degree. I've always trained mine to poop on command when I get them out of the cage. Gets that first one out of the way, so you know you're good for 10min or so. The faces they make while doing it are so recognizable.

And this is not really true these days. People can be offended by almost ANYTHING.
aircooled said:Birds can't control when they poop.
On the contrary, I think they have complete control on when (and where) they can poop...they wait until they see my freshly washed black car, and then they come in for a strafing run.
