achmed- yes
Jeff- what kind of terrorist
achmed- a terrifiying......terrorist
(crowd goes crazy)

There are different kinds of comedy and many of us seems to fall into different camps. That's cool. To me, in the exchange above, is in the visuals. I don't think it would be funny all by itself. Just like when people here have quoted stuff from lebowski, office or other droll, so-called comedies, it seems you had to be there or something. I grew up on physical comedy (yes, it goes back to my vaudville days) and that's what I can laugh at (for example, Who's on First - the greatest routine - is better to be seen than heard). Just like Jeff here, just watching the characters is enough for me.

Just watched Achmed and this Dunham guy for the first time, and I didn't think it was funny at all. Reminded me of Jay Leno with a puppet.

I find it interesting that people think Dunham is "family friendly". His comedy is filled with racism, sexism and misogyny, references to sex and stories of violence (not just the terrorist puppet), etc. But since Dunham plays the good, moral guy and his cute puppets are the ones pouring out the offensive comedy, it's ok and family friendly.

Yeah, I didn't get that either. When I think "family friendly," last thing I would show my 4 and 8 year olds is a dead terrorist.
