Go To

Tropes

  • Affectionate Parody: This episode includes a parody of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song.
  • Bearded Baby: Some of the children at Terrorist School appear to be young teenagers will full beards.
  • Boom, Headshot!: Yasser shoots Mrs. Rudjkes in the head.
    • Osama Bin Laden later shoots a Hebrew in the head during his musical number.
    • Lastly, Yasser shoots Mrs. Majhayeff just for sitting there, reading.
  • Borrowed Catchphrase: Osama Bin Laden yells out Yasser's "AHMED AND SALIM!!!", albeit in musical form.
  • Break the Comedian: Osama Bin Laden, who's supposed to be the nice, funny, and wonderful uncle, gets brought to his knees by Ahmed and Salim's annoying behavior. The final straw is when they download a DanceDanceRevolution app on their phones, using his wi-fi, which breaches his security and causes the FBI to track him down and arrest him.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: Osama predicts that the Jews are going to ban this video from YouTube.
  • Comical Translation: This episode has several.
    • "That's Right" in Arabic is "Fucking A".
    • "Children" in Arabic is "Chiquititas".
    • "Jump" in Arabic is "Michael Jordan".
    • "iPhone" in Arabic is "Expensive Shit".

  • Creator Cameo: Or Paz makes a live-action appearance for a brief moment during the musical number.
    Or: I HATE WILL FERRELL!!!
  • Cultural Blending: When Osama Bin Laden talks on the phone, he says "Yes" in many different languages, including Arabic, Israeli, English, Spanish, Chinese, and German.
  • Deus ex Machina: Lampshaded. Yasser just so happens to be present at Ahmed and Salim's school, when its relevant to the plot. Ahmed asks why he'd been standing just outside their classroom for so long and Yasser just shuts them up by shooting Mrs. Rudjkes.
  • Famous Ancestor: Ahmed and Salim's uncle is revealed to be Osama bin Laden.
  • Hidden Depths: Salim says that when he grows up, he wants to be a doctor, suggesting that he's a lot smarter and willing to help others than he lets on. This does not go over well with the Mrs. Rudjkes, who scolds him furiously for wanting to be something useful to society rather than a destructive and harmful terrorist.
  • Hypocritical Humor: Osama makes fun of Christians and Jews for having ridiculous religious beliefs that are clearly false, while also promoting the truth and feasibility of Islam.
  • Info Dump: Osama Bin Laden dumps a bunch of teachings of Islam onto the kids for the musical number's breakdown.
    Osama: Us Muslims only believe in reason and scientific facts! If you blow yourself up and kill tons of people, you will go to heaven and be pleasured by 72 virgins. In a Jew-Muslim fight, if a Jew'll hide behind a stone, it will scream: "Hey, buddy! There's a jew behind me!" Once a year, you have to pray to a giant cube cause otherwise, you'll burn in hell. Oh, yeah, and we believe dogs were created by Satan, okay?"
  • Kick the Dog: Mrs. Majhayeff sits there in the living room, quietly reading to herself and not bothering anyone. Yasser comes in and shoots her in the head and kills her because ... he had the perfect shot, I guess?
  • Misplaced Retribution: Yasser shoots Mrs. Rudjkes because of Ahmed and Salim's misbehavior.
  • Musical Episode: This episode has not one, but two musical numbers. The first is a Fresh Prince parody and the next is Osama's broadway-style musical number about terrorism.
  • Musicalis Interruptus: Osama's musical number is interrupted by a phone call.
  • Overly Long Gag: Osama's phone call is just him standing there, saying "Yes" several times for like two minutes.
  • Running Gag: Ahmed calls Salim gay several times in this episode.
  • Take That!: Osama Bin Laden takes shots at According to Jim and Buffy the Vampire Slayer during his stand-up.
  • Teeny Weenie: It's reiterated that Jews have tinier penises than Muslims.
