heh, yeah. I felt like that too. I think the 2nd episode too. But the 3rd episode in I was in love.
I think the woman with the monkey puppet would throw some off, but you may know of her. She's popular in the UK.
But, Nina Conti is awesome. She did a documentary that revolves around the ventriloquism, the person that got her into it and her life. Its probably still on Netflix and a pretty good watch.
