Jeff Dunham – Achmed the Dead Terrorist
Achmed is a wisecracking skeleton with a beard and a white turban (an early version of Achmed stated that it was not a turban, but underwear, because ‘when someone says it’s time to kill yourself, it scares the shit out of you!’). He is used by Dunham to perform comedy based on the contemporary issue of terrorism. He is known for yelling, “Silence! I kill you!” to people in the audience who laugh at his customs. He insists on pronouncing the “ch” in his name with a hocker (voiceless velar fricative). When asked how his name is spelled, he replies “A… c… phlegm…” and is interrupted by the audience’s laughter. He responds with his usual cry of “Silence! I kill you!”
