I never understood why ventriloquist dummies were a legitimate form of entertainment for people back in the day. Puppets are one thing. If you are doing a show with, say, a puppet frog, the fun is in the illusion is that this frog is talking and that is certainly fun. But with ventriloquist dummies, what’s the illusion?
It’s pretty obvious that most dummies are just tiny, demonic wooden men that are really sassy…and that doesn’t seem fun. Not at all.
This is a good way to get your hand bit by a ventriloquist dummy.

Why did anyone think that “terror” was synonymous with “family fun?” I’m just going to assume people were really bored back then.
