What's the verdict on... what? I'm assuming this is a dupe issue? It's hard to know if the second one is a dupe of the first since the first one is dead. Does anyone remember it?

It's a dupe - bryce made this comment, in the original, which is in the newer embed as well

"Where's my microphone?"
"You don't have a microphone."
"Well that f ks up the illusion!"
Now THAT is good ventriloquist comedy and addresses the audience's suspension of belief.
If it weren't a comedy act, one would have to believe that she is nearing full-blown schizophrenia!

on 2nd glance...maybe not. I can still see the thumbnail of the original video, and she's holding a different bag & her belt and pants looks different.

same comedy, different day?

This is the old one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL7O9O3M1pI
Which was filmed for dutch television, hence the use of naughty words. The new one is SFW. Same act, slight differences. I like this one better.

Different videos. Same act. No reason for dupeof.

@lucky760 should get on the whole dead and backup thing. @SlipperyPete called it dead and then provided a backup embed, but it hasn't replaced the dead one automatically. I remember reading that should happen?

The backup must be provided before dead is invoked for that to work.

The vids are from different cities at different times. Although a lot of the same material was used it seems different enough to not be duped. She really is a ventriloquist master. Here's her from Australia...

And another great vid from the BBC comedy awards from 2002...
