Abdul El-Sayed is not only a terrible person with awful friends, he also tells terrible jokes. 

This is his attempt at humor, apparently. 

So, 'thought' is the key word here. 

He's trying to be relatable.

That seems problematic. 

Also, he's a total jerk with short man complex.

As you should. 

Also, in real life El-Sayed is a misogynistic jerk so he has a hard time coming off as likable. 

Step-stool Abdul will never not be funny. That's a funny joke. 

There you have it. 

That's what he is going for.

He's a legend in his own mind. 

Accurate. Also, not hilarious.
