Well, it definitely is for most of us Turks. And to think that he nailed this right after 99's "Bir Tat Bir Doku", that is even more unbelievable.
Personally, I have always regarded it in "no one can top this" category; but the man certainly lived up to his reputation and gave it his absolute, undisputed best.
Is there any non-native Turkish speaker who happened to watch and/or enjoy this? :) This is what I wonder at this point. It won't be an overstatement to say that this is one of the greatest, if not the best, Turkish single-act comedy materials ever.
It even had a massive impact on daily Turkish language (needles to say up to a certain age point), just like Seinfeld had in America back in the day. But, then again, each Cem Yilmaz work can time to time have this effect.
I'm really happy for those who could be able to watch, understand and enjoy this; that's all I can say. But I know that this is not easy, let alone the language barrier, there are tons of cultural references too. Cheers..
