Description[]
He appears to be a man in his early 20s. He works as a cashier at a convenience store called "Quickies Mart" (as seen on his shirt) and wears their work uniform, consisting of a green cap, a green short sleeve shirt and khaki slacks. He also attends the same junior college as Bud in Season 7 and later, Trumaine University during Season 10. It is implied that he is still a virgin like the rest of Bud's friends.
He mentioned that his idol is singer Barry Mantilow.
Background[]
He is first introduced in the Season 7 episode, "Frat Chance" as a member of Bud's new fraternity, "Alpha Gonna Get Em", along with Francis and Gus. He partakes in their ritual salute (which consisted of the guys dropping their pants, holding hands and then making honking noises while pretending to fondle breasts) before their food table is destroyed by Bud's father, Al Bundy and his Dodge. Feeling frustrated and embarrassed by the lack of women and walking around with his pants down, he then tells Bud that he is about to go home. Bud convinces him and the others to stay, as he will create a toga party, which he feels will definitely bring more women to their frat.
After the toga party seems to not be effective, Bud's sister, Kelly Bundy decides to help the guys out by showing them what a real man looks like, using a poster of a male model. After her speech, Achmed and the other express their disappointment about the lack of women once again, but Bud reassures them that he has a plan and asks them to wait so he can change. Unfortunately, by the time Bud finished changing and finally had real women waiting in the frat house, Kelly informs him that Achmed and Francis got bored, while Gus's prostate flared up.
In the Season 10 two part episode, "Spring Break (Part 1)" and "Spring Break (Part 2)", Achmed, along with Bud's other friends, Barney and Hummer gather at the Bundy Residence to discuss their plan to have sex with women while attending spring break in Florida. Knowing that Bud has had sex a total of 6 times, Achmed insist that he lead the group in quest for sex. A few moments later, Kelly and her friends, Ashley, Fawn, and Mindy arrive at the house and mock the guys. After trading insults, Achmed eventually reveals their plans for spring break to the girls, which upsets them, since they are not college students nor have the funds to travel. The girls then set out to flirt with the guys. Each of the girls use the same story about having a jealous boyfriend who would get upset if he knew that they had a crush on Bud and his friends and how they could use the ticket to send him away for the week. Then, in exchange, they would have sex with Bud and his friends as a sign of gratitude. Fawn targets Achmed and even convinces him to give her an additional $500, so her "boyfriend" could have some spending money while in Florida.
The next day, Achmed and the others guys wait for the girls to meet up with them, but eventually learn that they were taken advantaged of, as the girls appear on a television program that was covering spring break. Bud's neighbor, Marcy D'Arcy stops by and upon learning about what happened, tries to convince the boys that they will alright in the end. Bud then points out that her husband Jefferson D'Arcy is also in Florida instead of the computer camp that he told her he would be attending. After some delay, the group arrives in Florida, with Bud ruining Kelly's moment of winning a beauty pageant, Achmed and the others confronting Kelly's friends, and Marcy choking out her husband.
