Prince Achmed

Prince Achmed is or was a human man.
==Description==
Prince Achmed was an ancient foreign prince who was one of Princess Jasmine of Agrabah's many suitors. Achmed, although handsome and refined, was also a vain and vindictive man, cruel to the poor. Jasmine rejected him instantly and sicced her pet tiger Rajah on him. Achmed stormed out of Agrabah with his pants torn.
==Behind the scenes==
Princess Achmed first appeared in the 1992 film Aladdin.
He is an allusion to The Adventures of Prince Achmed, a 1926 non-Disney animated film and possibly the first-ever animated feature film, which focused on the titular character (who was far from a pompous moron) but also featured Aladdin as a side character.
In the Aladdin TV series, Prince Achmed does not appear, but a similar (albeit less villainous) character, Prince Wazoo, was created to fill a similar role as a snooty foreign prince and suitor of Jasmine.
In the 2013 parody musical Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier, where Jafar is a good character, Prince Achmed is elevated to main antagonist, as he takes more realistic offense at a foreign princess setting a tiger on him and declares war on the "Magic Kingdom" (Agrabah). Throughout the musical, Achmed complains at Jasmine "treating him like a throwaway joke", in allusion to the canonical Achmed's status as, indeed, something of a throwaway joke.
