Ahmed and Salim (January 20th, 2009–August 23rd, 2011) is an Israeli animated web series on YouTube, created by Tom Trager and Or Paz of Sugarzaza. The series is, as the creators define it, a sitcom about terrorists, focusing on the Muslim family, The Majhayeffs, who live in the fictional Middle Eastern town of Khazbazbazstan, namely the titular characters, Ahmed and Salim, and their father, Yasser.Ahmed and Salim are two average teenagers who love playing video games, watching TV, and screwing around on the internet, while their father, Yasser, constantly nags them to stop goofing around and commit acts of terrorism, which they reluctantly do. However, on account of their laziness and stupidity, the duo usually messes up their tasks and it usually backfires on Yasser and his terrorist organization, pissing off the latter and causing him to scream to the sky, his episodic catchphrase "AHMED AND SALIM!".As you can guess, the show is extremely controversial on account of how offensive it can be toward Muslims. Several episodes were taken down from the original upload channel, though reuploads on other accounts are still abundant on YouTube. The UAE actually banned the series from their country and the YouTube moderators have warned the creators that they could ban the series from their platform entirely if new episodes became too offensive ... which, of course, they did, leading to the platform forcing their show into cancellation, with their final episode airing on August 23rd, 2011. Tom Trager and Or Paz have gone on record, though in saying that Ahmed & Salim isn't meant to make fun of Muslims, as a whole. It's only supposed to make fun of Muslim terrorists, specifically.Despite its heavy censorship and forced cancellation, Ahmed & Salim had still become an online sensation, garnering around 2 million views per video and worldwide fans, some of which are Muslim, themselves and claim that they find the show hilarious and has developed a cult following, in Israel and America, ever since.

Your Mom: In "Episode 1", Yasser threatened to kill Ahmed and Salim's mom if they didn't do as he commanded ... despite the fact that he already killed their mom.

Sibling Rivalry: Ahmed and Salim constantly bicker and argue, calling each other names like "Fudgepacker", "Wanker" and "Fidgy Banana". You know, like your typical teenage brothers do.

Laugh Track: In typical sitcom parody fashion, the show has this. Over the series, however, the canned laughter was toned down and used less frequently to make it a bit less annoying.

Ordinary High-School Student: Although it's never specified whether they're in middle or high school, Ahmed and Salim fit this trope. Despite being raised in a terrorist family, Ahmed and Salim are just your average joes, who spend their time surfing the net and playing video games.

I Am Not My Father: Ahmed and Salim seem to reject their father's idealism of radical Islamism. Though they don't actively combat it, more as they do view terrorism as a chore and blow it off to play video games instead.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign
 Ahmed and Salim (Web Animation) / int_e3c20140
comment
As Long as It Sounds Foreign: The characters all speak a gibberish language, which is supposedly supposed to be Arabic, though it's kind of a mixture of total gibberish and several different languages, mostly Arabic and Hebrew, (as the voice actors speak Hebrew). Their dialogue is accompanied by two sets of subtitles (one in Hebrew and one in English) that translates them to actual dialogue. Aside from Hebrew and Arabic, their language also includes occasional uses of English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Hebrew, Greek, Russian, Ukrainian, and Gibberish.
