* ConspiracyTheorist: Like the real Ahmadinejad, Mahmoud is a holocaust denier, who thinks that the entire moment in history was just completely made-up.
* DepravedBisexual: Assuming he's married to Azam Fahari like his real-life counterpart, Mahmoud would be a sick and twisted bisexual old man, who indulges in all kinds of disgusting paraphilias such as pedophilia, rape, and sex in public.



* StrawmanPolitical: Of the real Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. However, the only thing about him they made up was that he was gay. All of the other twisted shit he did, (i.e. exhibiting antisemitism, killing innocent women, raping children) rings very true to the real Ahmadinejad.

* SecondActBreakup: His breakup with Yasser happened in the middle of the episode. Apparently, they got into an argument over wether or not the Holocaust really happened.

Added DiffLines:

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: "Rudjkes" is not a real Arabic surname.
* BoomHeadshot: Got shot in the head by Yasser in "Episode 7".
* EvilTeacher: Like most of the characters in this show, Mrs. Rudjkes is a horrible woman who promotes terrorism, war crimes, and antisemitism. As a public school educator, she teaches her students all about her barbaric rhetoric, so that she can mold these young minds into a beautiful new generation of terrorists.
-->'''Mrs. Rudjkes''': Well, class. What have we learned to do last week, when we see an Israeli video on [=YouTube=]?
-->'''Students''': Rate it one star and deny The Holocaust.

* TheFaceless: We don't know what her face really looks like because she's always wearing her burka.

* NoNameGiven: We know her last name is "Rudjkes", but her first name is never brought up.
* PoliticallyMotivatedTeacher: Teaching a school under Sharia Law, Mrs. Rudjkes, of course, injects the state-ordered political rhetoric into her teaching. She mainly brainwashes her students (in an already brainwashing society, mind you) about how to commit acts of terrorism and be an antisemitic bigot.
* SkewedPriorities: She was livid to hear that Salim wanted to grow up to become a doctor instead of being a terrorist.
-->'''Mrs. Rudjkes''': What!? That's it! No terrorist of mine is gunna contribute something to this world! I'm calling your father!
* SternNun: The Islamic variant of this. Mrs. Rudjkes is a Muslim woman in a burka, who enforces harsh discipline for misbehavior at her religious school.

* CheerfulChild: Hafif is always happy all the time, bouncing around with joy and laughter and never shutting up.
* DisneyDeath: He was in a building that got blown up in "Hide and Seek" but [[TheStinger the stinger]] showed that he actually survived, most likely only due to his status as a recurring character giving him [[PlotArmor plot armor]].


Added DiffLines:

* BoomHeadshot: Shot a girl dead [[EstablishingCharacterMoment in his first appearance]], [[KickTheDog just because]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: Anyone with even the most basic knowledge of the real Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would know that he's a tyrannical dictator and a strong supporter of Islamic fundamentalism. That being said, he's of course, strictly homophobic. However, here, he's a proud homosexual who loves having sex with Yasser and Obama. So, basically, it's fine if he's gay but if anyone else in his country is gay, they get executed.
* OldFlame: Dated Yasser back in the 1980's.
* PaedoHunt: Although we've never seen him have sex with any minors on-screen, Mahmoud did attend a 10-year-old rape convention, which is where he met Yasser.

to:

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Yasser was proven to actually be, deep down, a very kind and loving father to his kids in the episode "Osama Bin Laden is Dead", comforting Ahmed and Salim when they were crying over the death of their uncle. He told them that as sad as it is that he's gone, Osama is currently in Heaven right now, smiling down on them and wants them to be happy.
