Description:
A Satirical Cartoon Character
The Bighdaddy, also known as Al Khalifa Barhoom, is a parody cartoon character created to satirize Ibrahim Al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed leader of the terrorist organization ISIS.
In this show, The Bighdaddy rules over a fictional caliphate populated by a group of absurd, incompetent followers. Portrayed as a naive and clumsy figure, his decisions are laughably poor, and he is surrounded by ridiculous and inept individuals.
This portrayal intentionally flips the narrative, presenting The Bighdaddy as a harmless, comical figure—entirely at odds with the fearsome image desired by the real-life Baghdadi. The character’s light-hearted and exaggerated traits add an element of humor to an otherwise serious subject, aiming to dismantle the propaganda surrounding such figures.
