Ventriloquist dummies are creepy, so are clowns.

My youngest daughter would agree with you.
Clowns and ventriloquist dummies never bother me

I've found they don't have much to say if you ignore them and leave them alone.

I like watching Jeff Dunham


There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

He's awfully good with his collection of characters. I especially like the grumpy old guy.

My youngest daughter is terrified of ventriloquist dolls. We went to the metropolis, il years ago when the kids were young… they had a dummy in there wearing Superman clothes.. she wouldn’t go any further into the place after seeing it.
Some folks think howdy doody is terrifying.
2 of my favorite twilight zone episodes involve ventriloquist dummies…

The feeling things things that are people like, but off, give people is called "uncanny valley". It's bred in us to feel grossed out by and avoid things that are human like, but off. It kept us from approaching unhealthy people.

Uncanny valley is a major problem for robotics makers that make human like robots. It's a problem for animators too. Things that are less human like don't cause uncanny valley.
