There is NO suspension of disbelief.

It drives me nuts when someone puts a character on their hand and then just stands there and talks to it. Are you kidding me?

Now, I need to clarify that this is not when people are ventriloquists. That’s totally different. They give the appearance that they are not speaking for the dummy. I’m talking about the scenario in which both people are dummies.

The “puppeteer” if you can call them that, I prefer “guy with fist in sock’s butt”, just stands there moving his lips while the dummy “talks”. That is so dumb. Everyone can see you talking. Even kids think you are dumb.

At least have the decency to crouch behind a small wall and hold your arm up so that we can’t see you. Granted, odds are good I won’t believe that the sock is actually talking, but the probability is definitely higher.
