Achmed the Dead Terrorist

Achmed the Terrorist was truly a terror... At least he attempted to be. He tried and failed many times. One fateful day he finally succeeded in detonating the bomb, but unfortunately for him, the only person he managed to kill was himself. Now better known as Achmed the Dead Terrorist, this conflicted, lovable fiend continues to incite terror in the hearts of no one.

Walter

Walter is a retired, grumpy old man with arms always crossed in discontent. He has a brash, negative and often sarcastic view on today's world. He is a Vietnam War veteran and "doesn't give a damn" about anyone, especially his own wife and certain audience members. Enjoy Today's Clip HC.
