Characters
- Walter - A grumpy old Vietnam War veteran with an attitude who frequently complains about his wife.
- Sweet Daddy Dee - Jeff's new manager from the street who says he's a "Player In the Management Profession. PIMP." According to Sweet Daddy, that makes Jeff the "ho".
- Bubba J - In Jeff's own words, "Pretty much just white-trash trailer-park." He talks about NASCAR and his love of beer.
- Peanut - A purple woozle from Micronesia described by Walter as "a frickin' Muppet on crack." He wears one red Converse shoe on his left foot.
- José Jalapeño on a Stick - a jalapeño pepper on a stick, or "steek" as he says it with a Hispanic accent.
DVD release
The special was released on DVD and on Blu-ray Disc later. This was the first special that had a choice of the censored or uncensored versions of the special. The only other two with that choice are Controlled Chaos and Minding the Monsters. The DVD's special feature include:
- "Puppet bloopers" - Two bloopers, Peanut's hair flies off and Walter arms uncross.
- "Violation of the Peanut Doll" - Walter introduces a video of a small dog humping a Peanut doll.
- "Walter's Goodbye" - The camera approaches Walter and Walter states he doesn't do interviews and he'll "kick your ass to Calcutta".
