Go To

In a continuation of Episode 7, Osama gets arrested and demands Yasser carry out the rest of his evil plans to blow up The French Embassy. Meanwhile, Ahmed and Salim get dates with girls they met online.


  • As Long as It Sounds Foreign: The French version of Seinfeld is just the characters making random ethnic-sounding gibberish that sounds pretty similar to Khazbazbazstani note  only with a few stereotypical French hacking noises thrown in there.
  • Bad Liar: Agent Burk does a shit job at lying to his ex-wife about where their daughter is.
    Agent Burk: [gets a call from his wife] Hello, honey! ... Uh, ... What? Where's Allison, uh, ... she's dead! NO! NO! NO! NOT DEAD! NOT DEAD! Uh, uh, uh, she's in the van with me, trying to catch terrorists. NO! NO, WAIT! I MEAN! Hello, sorry. Wrong number. This is not Agent Burk. Burk is dead. Bye-bye. [hangs up] PHEW! That was close.
  • "Be Quiet!" Nudge: Ahmed slaps Salim silent twice in the episode.
    Yasser: Where do you two think you're going?
    Salim: We're going on a date with these girls we met onli-
    [Ahmed slaps Salim in the back of the head]
    Ahmed: Uh, we're ... going out to kill ... random people in the name of Allah, ... Yes.
  • Bumbling Dad: Agent Burk is this with his daughter, Allison and his ex-wife.
  • Butt-Monkey: Salim is treated like shit throughout the first half of the episode, with Ahmed forcing him to go on a double date with him, making him do all the work with assembling the bomb, and then stealing the credit for making it. This does a 180 halfway through the episode, when Ahmed and Salim's dates show up and Salim is paired up with a beautiful woman who loves video games and Ahmed gets a fat, disgusting monster of a girl. From then on, Ahmed becomes the butt monkey, as is his comeuppance.
  • CIA Evil, FBI Good: In stark contract to the FBI in the previous episode, the CIA, here is depicted as a corrupt force of bumbling, loud-mouthed, stupid, racist, morons who can't do shit.
  • Cliffhanger: The episode ends with Agent Burk swearing that he'll have his revenge on Ahmed and Salim yet and that he'll come back one day to arrest the two. On a side note, his daughter, Allison starts to develop a crush on Ahmed. note 
  • Comical Translation:
    • "Great Responsibility" in Arabic is "Spiderman"
    • There's also a scene where Yasser scolds Ahmed and Salim with a detailed monologue but all we hear coming out of his mouth is "Boom boom boomity boom boom boom boomity boomity boomity boom boom!"
  • Dating Service Disaster: Ahmed finds himself and Salim some girls online and of course, things don't turn out quite how he had planned. Ahmed gets paired up with a big, fat, ugly woman, while Salim gets paired up with a totally smoking hot tamale.
  • Deadpan Snarker: The receptionist at the French Embassy.
  • Double Date: Ahmed and Salim go on a double date with some girls they met online.
  • Humiliation Conga: Yasser Majhayeff suffers from this greatly at the end of the episode. After his bomb fails to go off at the French Embassy and some crappy pop music plays instead, he gets shown up on the news and everybody laughs at him. He gets labelled a "Gaywad" on the news and he never lives it down.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Ahmed gets what was coming to him for bullying Salim earlier in the episode.
  • Spies In a Van: Agent Burk and the CIA are this.
  • The Stinger: During the ending credits, we see Habub talking to Yasser about how he embarrassed himself on public television and then throwing an embarrassing party for him.
  • Take a Number: Yasser has to take a number at the French Embassy, when he literally goes in to blow the place up. As he sits in the waiting room, he's seated with a whole bunch of other terrorists from different parts of the world.
