Behind the scenes

  • Hadji's trademark incantation, "Sim sim salabim", is taken from "Simsalabim"; a magic phrase akin to "Abracadabra" that has been attributed to Danish-born magician Harry August Jansen.[3]
    • "Simsalabim" itself was taken by Jansen from a Danish children's song (Højt på en gren en krage) that he knew of, which in return has its roots in the medieval play A Gest of Robyn Hode.[3]
  • Hadji has been given two surnames so far:
    • In The Real Adventures TV series, his birth name was Hadji Singh.
    • In the Jellystone! TV series, he was called Hadi Quest through marriage to Jonny for some reason.

In popular culture

  • In The Fairly OddParents TV movie Channel Chasers, Timmy zaps himself into the world of Jonny Hunt, in which he becomes part of an escape with the titular, young Jonny Hunt and his team from a laser-firing robot shaped like a scorpion in the jungle. Hadji is represented by an unnamed Native American boy.
  • In the Family Guy DTV movie Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story (which was later edited for TV as "Stu & Stewie's Excellent Adventure"), Stewie talks to his older self about the job he once had as an airline check, where he accepts entry for Jonny and his father, but not for Hadji, who he retains for a security inspection because of his race. Hadji tries to get his way by saying "Sim sim sala bim," but Stewie is unfazed and tells him to cut back on saying that.
  • In the Drawn Together episode, "Spelling Applebee's," upon removing his turban and jacket, Foxxy's nemesis is revealed to be an adult version of Hadji, with a new Mister T-like haircut.
