I never find this kind of stuff funny... it's more snark than humor. It's also got a weird racial tinge on the tiresome trope of a somewhat distrustful middle eastern laborer, which makes it gross.

How is he somewhat distrustful? He’s Honest Achmed, it’s right there in the name. And the application is certainly very honest.

Nah bro, google "Achmed". Top search is "Achmed the Dead Terrorist".

Also, there's a lot of racist nails lying around, so being a nice strong anti racist hammer is not the worst thing I've been accused of.

Not race, it's a joke on culture.
