A classic episode
There are only two reasons why you haven't enjoyed this episode. The first is you haven't seen it. Perfectly acceptable, you don't live in Greece. Second reason is, you suffer from some weird brain anomaly that totally suppresses laughter and fun. Whatever the reason, I feel sorry for you. 'Erxete o Bitzibitzidis' is a masterfully crafted representation of the insane mishaps happening in the Greek armed forces. Three simple soldiers are forced by their commanding officer to deal with an outsider called Bitzimpitzidis (Kostas Tsakonas) who intends to visit their barracks. Somewhere along the way, the outsider dies forcing the team to devise a way to make him look alive. The whole thing is a total rip-off from the "A weekend at Bernie's" film. However, the team's indifference towards the death of o fellow human is absolutely hilarious. The dead guy is a totally idiotic looking Greek actor, best known for his retarded behaviour and the slaps he keeps receiving on his balding head. On this appearance however, he does not act at all. He plays dead and he is doing a masterful job at that. Sometimes you can just tell he is trying hard not to laugh out loud, always having a hilarious grin on his face during the entire episode. Summing it up, this is such a ridiculously comic episode, it's a scandal. It's worth watching if only for the mind abusing little diddy that is heard numerous times during the half hour episode and goes 'Bitzi-Bitzi, Bitzi-Bitzi'. You won't be able to get that tune out of your head for hours after hearing it. This is a real tribute to the persona of Kostas Tsakonas and the utter insanity of Greek TV comedy. Bravo.
