I'm not hugely into ventriloquism, but when I do enjoy ventriloquism I tend to forget that it's ventriloquism and just enjoy the humour. The problem with this is that I don't appreciate the ventriloquist's skill. For example, they just showed this on TV (it's still on the Comedy Network if you're reading right now and will be on Comedy West again in three hours):
At about 1:30, where they start doing the pronunciation bit, that's a ventriloquism trick! The ventriloquist is showing off that he can do something technically difficult. But we don't even notice, because we're too busy being entertained.
