He’s aged so radically that he gets mistaken for Harvey Weinstein in public.

Because the Saudi’s find his Achmed the dead terrorist schtick to be hilarious because, and this a reaaaasllllly important thing to realize, they don’t believe it describes them, the successful bourgeoisie.

My roommate watches that guy’s specials regularly on Netflix so I don’t have to remember him I’m reminded like once a week. ETA: Also I met a girl on a discord server once from Norway who said she liked Jeff Dunham and I mentioned the Ahmed character being racist and she literally said “DONT EVEN GO THERE” like it was the most offensive thing I could have possibly said.
