Spatula.
Ah, yes, the BrandCo Drawer Jammer 9000.
- I was really hoping for a spatula city ad and was not disappointed... Now I have to go watch UHF... Brb...
  
  Buy nine spatulas… get the tenth one for just one penny!
- The only real answer
Fish slice.
- Those are longer

Looks like a sort of fish slice to me.
Spatulas are either long thin metal things or short licky rubber things.

I'm in the US, and most people I know call it a spatula but I have heard some people just call it a "flipper"
- In my home a spatula was always a tool with a flat rubber end, so this thing is a flipper. What do you call the rubber headed thing that you scrape bowls out with?
  
  Do you mean something like this?
  I just call them rubber spatulas, despite the fact that the one I have is made of silicone lol
  
  I'm my home, we have a variety of spatulas. Rubber spatula - both "no the big one" and "no the little one"; metal spatulas include: "my favorite"/"the sharp one", "the big shitty one", and "the curvy one"; and irregulars such as "the big offset", "that stupid orange one", and "the icing spatt".
  
  A scraper.
  
  A rubber spatula or "the good one, I need to get all the sauce out of this pan".
  Actually we speak French and English 50/50 because Montreal, and in French it actually has a name "Une Maryse", which is defined as: "a rubber spatula".

- Turner seems widely used in product listings. I've always said spatula, but there's a bit of ambiguity between this type of spatula and a rubber spatula of the type used to scrape sides of mixing bowls and such.
  
  I've never heard anyone call it a turner, but again that may have more to do with where I live. As a kid the item in OPs picture was the only thing we called a spatula. I didn't even see a rubber scraper style spatula until I was in high school I think lol
Fish slice
Spatula or turner
That’s a fucking spatula
- anything can be a spatula if you’re brave enough
In the UK? That's a weapon.
That's Mohammed and you're very brave to post his picture!
Flipper.
When we're feeling whimsical, we call it Fionn mac Cumhail, because in our minds fins and flippers are the same thing.
I slam with the back of my spatula!
Non stick pan destroyer
That is a flip turner.

That there's a spatchalur, or more commonly a "spatch" for short.
If you're around people who are all "proper", it's a spatula.
Turner
Around here it's flipper, spatula, or pancake turner
I've never heard anyone say fish slice before this thread
Worst. Spoon. Ever.
Bottle opener
This would be called a turner, or spatula(incorrect).
Slotted spatula
Freezer defrosting tool.
Closed fork
Scraper.
