Character from South Park by Trey Parker & Matt Stone
Satan's abusive boyfriend — yes, literally the dictator, in Hell, in a toxic relationship with the Prince of Darkness. This is the kind of show South Park is.
South Park's Saddam Hussein is a fast-talking, manipulative romantic partner who treats Satan — the actual Devil — like a doormat. Their relationship is a domestic abuse allegory played for dark comedy: Saddam makes promises, breaks them, cheats, gaslights, and then sweet-talks Satan into taking him back. Satan, despite being literally the most powerful evil being in existence, keeps falling for it because he's emotionally vulnerable. It's the kind of joke that only South Park could attempt — taking a real dictator and making him a domestic abuser in a gay relationship with the Devil, and somehow making the point be about emotional manipulation rather than politics. Saddam is eventually banished to heaven (which he hates because it's boring), and Satan can finally date in peace. He is South Park at its most transgressive and, weirdly, its most empathetic toward unlikely victims.
Cartoonish depiction of the real-world dictator with a thick black mustache, military beret, and an exaggerated grin. His design is deliberately crude — a paper cutout style even simpler than the show's already minimalist animation. He carries himself with the manic energy of someone who cannot stop scheming even in the afterlife.
