THE BIGHDADDY SHOW
The BighDaddy, or Al Khalifa Barhoom, is a parody cartoon character created to poke fun at ‘Ibrahim Al Baghdadi’ who claimed to be the leader of the terrorist organisation: ISIS.
In the show, the Bighdaddy presides over the caliphate and his followers are a bunch of imbeciles and inadequate individuals.
The Bighdaddy is a naive individual, clumsy in his decisions, and most importantly, surrounded by idiotic people. He’s simple, non-threatening, and at some extent quite amusing! Overall, he’s the exact opposite of the image desired by the real Baghdadi.
