Ahmadinejad, Ahmadinnerjacket and Ahmanutjob

TEHRAN, IRAN - APRIL 04: President Mahmoud Ahm...Image by Getty Images via Daylife

Comics have been intentionally butchering the name of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for comedic effect for ages, and it's worked (for the most part). The ones that I keep hearing are:

Mahmoud Ahmadinnerjacket - this doesn't get old for me; I still giggle every time I hear it cos it's the closest to Ahmadinejad; methinks Letterman and Craig Ferguson uses this in their monologues from time to time.

Mahmoud Ahmembersonlyjacket - Jimmy Kimmel's version, not as funny but still appreciate the effort.

Mahmoud Ahmanutjob - Heh. Pretty sure someone's said it, but I can't remember who it was.

If it's not those, then it's "Mahmoud Ahma*mumblemumble*" where they intentionally mumble out the rest of the name.
