Cem Yilmaz: Diamond Elite Platinum Plus

As always..there is no such thing as always laughing..It is not an easy thing to take people back to the past and make them laugh..we need guys like this..we need to protect and support him..It doesn't suit us to spend on the smallest thing..don't miss..

The show isn't too bad. But it does feel like Cem's just "funny" ranting instead of doing stand up. If you're not Turkish or very well versed in Turkish culture this isn't for you. You might enjoy Cem's previous stand up though.

The funniest bit was the last joke about Nasreddin Hoca. Probably the best weed joke I've heard in ages. Considering weed isn't socially acceptable in Turkey I was surprised he included the bit.

All in all I really enjoyed it. I love Cem and his stand up. He's basically the only stand up I even know from Turkey but Esp some of his older stuff is brilliant. I hope netflix keeps making more Turkish content. On a sorta unrelated note I really appreciate that they have Turkish subs etc even in countries outside of Turkey that have large Turkish minorities. As my parents who don't speak English love the fact that they can watch foreign shows with Turkish subtitles and dubs.

If you're looking to learn about Turkish culture. Comedy is never really a good way to learn about a culture (as a beginner). You're better of watching something else since you won't understand most of his jokes or humor. If you're trying to learn more about Turkish culture and you're already pretty deep into it, then this might help.

Best regards to Cem Yilmaz, the great humorist. I wish everyone a happy year. It should be known that there is only one man who does standup professionally in Turkey, not two. He is also Cem Yilmaz.

It's always difficult to watch Cem's standup shows after seeing the heights he had reached in his previous shows. The expectation levels are set high. This show does fall below par some of his previous work but, it's still enjoyable.

Like most of his previous work he pokes fun at cultural behaviours. There were funny ones and not so funny ones. There was even a moment where one of his jokes failed and there was an awkward silence.

He didn't engage with the audience as much as he used to. There was only one interaction which didn't end up being a laugh out loud moment.

Overall, I did enjoy it and would recommend it.

This show has been nominated by many as the 'worst' stand-up performance by Cem Yilmaz. However, I kindly disagree with this notion as I believe this chapter is the most matured, iconic and timeless version of his unique style and be watched even in the upcoming decades; even though he had indicated that he has no desires to be remembered for centuries.

I have been following all of Yilmaz's works over the years, as most of the Turkish generation X and Y did. I think this was his peak performance in terms of critics of the Turkish elite, mid-class and even the politics. Therefore, it is to be expected that this will not be appreciated by many in present and does not appeal to the masses; yet I wholeheartedly believe that this is the peak of Turkish comedical action and will remain there for many more years.
