List of Recurring South Park Characters - Saddam Hussein

Saddam Hussein is depicted with appearance and mannerisms that differ dramatically from the real Saddam Hussein. Matt Stone performs his voice (although in the credits, it is said to have been voiced by himself). He is the main antagonist in South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, in which he is revealed as Satan's lover in Hell. Though Satan eventually kills him in the movie, he returns to Hell in the series, and remains a recurring character until "It's Christmas in Canada".

Saddam Hussein's body is made in the usual South Park style (resembling construction paper), but his head is a photograph cutout, a technique also used with appearance by Mel Gibson and Ben Affleck. Saddam is also notable for having a "Canadian-style" head; that is, his head is cut into two pieces, which come apart when he talks, instead of having an conventionally-articulated mouth. However Saddam's head animation has retained this quality in other appearances, unlike any other non-Canadian. He also uses /uː/ in place of /aʊ/ (as Canadians are often perceived to do with "aboot" in place of "about" in South Park).

While Saddam on South Park is based on the real-life Saddam, he has a very high-pitched voice, is homosexual, speaks English and often calmly uses Canadian slang, as when he says, "relax guy". He was so emotionally abusive to Satan during their relationship that Satan ultimately exiles him to Heaven. Saddam attempts to conquer Canada in "Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus" and "It's Christmas in Canada".

Saddam was killed by a pack of wild boars that initially sent him to hell. When he is "killed" in hell and returns later, Satan inquires: "You're back?", to which Saddam replies: "Where was I going to go, Detroit?"
