Osama bin Laden (Jeff Dunham)

"Silence! I kill you!"

- Osama's catchphrase.

Osama bin Laden is a puppet character that was briefly featured in stand-up comedian Jeff Dunham's ventriloquist act in 2003, based on the real-life terrorist of the same name. "Dead Osama", as he was called, was the sentient skeletal remains of a long-dead Osama and was the prototype for the later character Achmed the Dead Terrorist.

History
Osama was first introduced in Raleigh, North Carolina on July 26, 2003. Jeff explained how many people, including himself, wanted to know if Osama bin Laden was dead, and could not wait to hear that he was. He then introduces Osama onto the stage.

Jeff explains that many people think Osama is dead, and Osama replies that he is like the "Al-Qaeda Elvis". However, despite being a skeleton and having little control over his limbs, Osama is in denial about being dead, claiming he feels fine. When people laugh at him, he threatens to kill them if they do not stop laughing. When Jeff tries to help fix his legs, Osama takes it a different, perverted way.

When Jeff questions Osama how he got so many followers, Osama tells him that everything he told his followers was a lie, and that he settled on "7)" virgins because "69" was too obvious. When Jeff asks about their bases of operation, Osama says that they live in holes because they were too incompetent to build forts, and have no place to plug in their equipment because of that decision. Osama then explains the training camp they use, which teaches recruits explosives training, hand-to-hand combat, and arts and crafts where they make turbans out of boxer shorts. Jeff then asks him about his wives, and Osama tells him that having so many wives is only trouble, and that making love to a goat is much more manageable because it does not complain. He then answers a few questions from the audience, mocking them for their stupidity.
