This is the first episode of the comic Internet cartoon about the 2 douch bag funny kids of the mega terrorist Yasser,made by two young Israelis. This episode got over 1,000,000 views in Youtube and also made the United Arab Emirates to block this cartoon on their country net...
Here is an item about why the UAE are not aproved with the Achmed & Salim show...
UAE Blocks Ahmed and Salim Cartoon
Or Paz and Tom Trager Create South Park-Influenced Israeli Series -
United Arab Emirates officials have blocked the Israeli-based cartoon Ahmed and Salim from showing on YouTube in that country.Officials in the United Arab Emirates have blocked access to a controversial online animated series, after they received complaints that the show mocked Muslims.
The series, called Ahmed and Salim, is a South Park-influenced cartoon featuring two Muslims who thwart all attempts to turn them into terrorists. The titular teens watch Western TV shows, and play computer games, to the chagrin of their father Yasser who wants them to commit terrorist acts.
"We informed the two UAE Internet service providers, Etisalat and Du, of the decision, and they blocked the movie," a Telecommunications Regulatory Authority spokesman told AlArabiya.net. "Now users who try to see it will get an 'access denied' message."
n the first episode, Ahmed and Salim attempt to bomb an Israeli bus but, after they detour for an ice cream cone, they accidentally blow up a UAE bus instead. Another depicts the duo bonding with a Jewish teenager over Guitar Hero.
Everyone speaks gibberish, liberally salted with English terms like "dickwad" and "pussy," while Hebrew and English subtitles run along the bottom of the screen. Israeli-based animators Tom Trager and Or Paz put together the series, which currently features 4 episodes.
Another TRA spokesperson told the Khaleej Times that, "We have given choice to the Internet users in the country and not blocked (YouTube) entirely. Adult content on the Web site that is clearly against the religious, cultural, political and moral values of the UAE will automatically be blocked."
"Now all Internet subscribers in the UAE cannot access the movie," Etisalat vice-president Ahmed Bin Ali told AlArabiya.net.
Tom Trager and Or Paz Created Online Cartoon Ahmed and Salim
The show highly resembles South Park, both in form and content. Despite a highly intrusive laugh track, only about 50% of the jokes work. Many gags revolve around Islamists' treatment of women.
"Do it or I'll shoot your mother!" Yasser raves, after killing a burqa-clad woman with his pistol.
"But you just shot Mom," Ahmed replies.
Another episode features Yasser saying, "I'm gonna go rape a bunch of 10-year-olds."
Ahmed and Salim "dangerous and full of lies"
The show has sparked controversy in Palestine and around the world.
"This . . . will in no case favour reconciliation between Jewish and Arab communities," 23-year-old Palestinian journalist and blogger Sameh Akram Habeeb told France 24's The Observers. "It can only spawn hate."
"The idea of using a cartoon to depict something evil always attracted us because of its obvious irony," responded Paz and Trager in the same article. "We’re not trying to mock Muslims, we are making fun of terrorists who are frankly ridiculous if you can take a good look at them without being afraid. Ahmed and Salim are just two nice naive kids who are just trying to make their terrorist father happy. "
Farfur: Hamas Inciting Palestinian Children to TerrorismThis isn't the first time the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has spilled onto the arts. In 2007, Hamas-owned Al-Aqsa TV aired a children's show called Tomorrow's Pioneers, which featured a Mickey Mouse look-a-like named Farfur. Farfur, and his 12-year-old co-host Saraa', claimed that “We are setting with you the cornerstone for world leadership under Islamic leadership.”
They also nodded approvingly as a juvenile phone-in caller said, "We will annihilate the Jews. I will commit martyrdom." In the final episode, following an international uproar, Farfur was depicted being murdered by an Israeli agent.
Israelis and Palestinians condemned the show as "pure evil."

Of course- it is a very small cartoon, made by two young dudes in one of their parents apartment- they made almost everything in it,on their free time, and you can't compare it to the multi-million production shows.
It is silly of course but still managed to get millions of views, the world media attention and being banned in the UAE...

The cartoon itself is very offensive.
I won't deny it's funny but nobody wants an embassy being blown up or attacked do they?
Blocking it in 'muslim' countries will stop a bit of antagonism. Trust me, muslims do not need any more antagonism from Israel (not Jews but the morons in charge and people who seek to offend others).

Ok, but the same makers also made a cartoon with episodes about Ultra-Orthodox Jews, and no one was offended.
On the contrary- It is even much more funny then this one... lol!

Canned laughter? & a not very funny at all script?
Does this pass for humour in Israel? If so, Israel must be a humour impaired zone (not that that wasn't obvious already)
How about you look at "Achmed the dead terrorist". That's funny, original,and has no canned laughter

Well, those episodes got from hundreds of thousands to over a million views world wide, including thousands of likes,and comments from Muslims saying they loved it. you can check that in youtube.
If the UAE banned this it might tell you that this little net cartoon made a buzz...
Also here in LL quite many liked it (check the previous upload).
You can't be a reall judge in cases like this, since you must admit you are total biased when it comes to Israel and the Arabs. total.
Yo More..

In my point, I like Achmed the Dead Terrorist. It's funny and pokes real fun at terrorists and muslims.
This isn't funny. If it was made by arabs it would still not be funny.
A million youtube views? Go and see what is top viewed on youtube and get back to me.

Of course you are entitled not to like it, but that is your personal view (which is very legitimate).
I also recall you don't aprove with Latma, but the fact is their songs became an internet hit, including over here in LL- so leave your anti-Israel national regular slamming out of this,pls..
Regarding this cartoon, it is a very small one, made by two young dudes in one of their parents apartment- they made almost everything in it,on their free time, and you can't compare it to mul More..

Btw- the cartoon makers said they don't intend to joke about Arabs/Muslims but only about terrorists.
Even that the way I see it in any case such kind of cartoon might be good for the Muslims- it portray them in much more funny and qute way, making people fear them much less.

It was the canned laughter that forced them to block it.

If it was the other way round, and made by two young Muslims about Jews, Israel would be shouting racism from the rooftops.

@NoGodButAlan because jews are actually classified as a race (inbreeding) dont worry muslims are inbreeding too!

I don't know why the controversy. The show is funny. If you feel bad because someone is mocking you, think about this, how do you mock or make fun of a normal person behaving like a normal decent common regular person? You can't. Now, ho do you mock a violent irrational nonsensical religious fundamentalist warmonger? Any way!
So, the solution is in your hands.
