[–]efeman 521 points522 points ago

For anyone who's wondering:

It's just a talkshow named after the woman with the mic, sort of like Ellen or Oprah here in the US, just less flashy. The guy is claiming to have some supernatural powers like being able to float in the air, so they're talking about it. The guy in the dark jacket essentially brings up some old saying about a guy that claims he can jump 70 meters, and the guy flips shit, presumably because he's being compared to that saying.

This video has him doing similar things in other shows, where they're accusing him of doing all this crazy stuff as an act.

[–]MissKatbow 330 points331 points ago

My favourite was, "You're not flying, you're just rolling on the ground. This is not what flying means."

[–]notablack 100 points101 points ago

Did he say "oh, sorry my mistake" then walks away whistling?

[–]Ihateyourdick 111 points112 points ago

He's so crazy it's a superpower.

[–]sean85 11 points12 points ago

The Joker?

[–]pagaladmee 4 points5 points ago

[–]efeman 1 point2 points ago

This is brilliant.

Vodafone spoofed the original video using celebrities and turned it into an ad.

[–]originalusername2 54 points55 points ago

"That wasn't flying; that was falling with style."

[–]rokerroker45 19 points20 points ago

I remember one time in middle school I had swimming class. At the end of the class, our instructor would always let a bunch of the kids climb up the giant high-diving board and jump off into the pool below. Problem is, most of the kids in class were a bunch of pussies, and of the good twenty or so kids that climbed up, only maybe eight or nine would jump. Result? Fucking long-ass lines. Anyway, one day I was climbing up right in front of the hissiest little bitch show-offs in the entire class. Like, this kid was like 12 but he was one of those little freak over-develop mutants who have the body of a 16 year old kid.

Anyway, eventually, it's that kid's turn to jump off the diving board. And of course, being the little prick that he is, he decides to give the entire class a show. He goes up there, does a few poses (I actually felt really bad for him, they were kind of lame) before taking a running jump into a swan dive. It was beautiful. Aesthetically pleasing. So it's my turn, and as I get on the diving board and start to choke, the little prick has the gall to be like;

"Hahaha! Pussy, I bet you can't fly like the rest of us"

To which I zerofucksgivened, straightened up and said, "Bitch. This is falling with style" and then I belly flopped into the pool.

EDIT: accidentally a word

[–]its_so_on 2 points3 points ago

This would be a perfect summary of reddit if you added the word "yesterday".

I remember one time in middle school yesterday I had swimming class...

[–]MagicMan623 1 point2 points ago

cool story bro

[–]verteUP 1 point2 points ago

So now I would like you to describe the feeling as the air exited your body.

[–]Alexxandros 2 points3 points ago

That was a brilliant story 8/10

[–]nethertwist 2 points3 points ago

would go as far as to say the story was cool

[–]Grand_Theft_Audio 2 points3 points ago

if it's a brilliant story, it should be a 10/10. you can't go and throw an accolade like that around and then merely give it an 80%.

Crazies occasionally slip by the system, no matter what country, here is a British man who claims he can stand on eggs...

[–]dickhole_papercut 29 points30 points ago

I don't think he is crazy. He claimed he could jump on eggs without breaking them and he did. It was probably the reporter who thought he would actually stick the landing on top of them. Big misunderstanding.

[–]robbysalz 13 points14 points ago

That's not jumping on the eggs, that's poking the egg with his foot in mid-jump

[–]todd375 8 points9 points ago

That one egg there had clearly been jumped on. He points right to it. It clicked.

[–]Grand_Theft_Audio 10 points11 points ago

I winced at your name. Mouth did some weird shit, too.

[–]SaultSpartan 2 points3 points ago

WHY WOULD YOU BRING ATTENTION TO IT?

[–]aMaricon_Dream 29 points30 points ago

That woman is FINE.

[–]XxXNightstalkerX 18 points19 points ago

Well.....he technically wasn't lying...

[–]-naut 17 points18 points ago

That is so fucking British I lost my shit.

Ah, yes. They've definitely been jumped on.

[–]ihaveacalculator 7 points8 points ago

If those were actors, that was probably the most subtle comedy I've ever witnessed. Simply brilliant.

[–]VaguelyCondescending 6 points7 points ago

Oh, yeah, I felt it click.

[–]Pandajuice22 15 points16 points ago

Oh yes, it's definitely been jumped on.

[–]redrhyski 4 points5 points ago

And that was the peak of Manchester's power. It was all downhill for the next 20 years.

[–]Jackal_6 1 point2 points ago

Super troll

[–]hizzler 19 points20 points ago

Turkish television is the best. They bring the wackiest people onto their talk shows

[–]Overrwatcher 2 points3 points ago

They also bring soap operas so bad they are hilarious.

[–]executex 2 points3 points ago

It's kind of a problem though in Turkey. Some people actually believe in shit like this.

The plague of "believing shit without evidence" is very infectious in Turkey.

[–]nonumbers 35 points36 points ago

What the hell? Why was he even on any TV shows let alone more than one?

[–]karpin 20 points21 points ago

because it kind of became a joke afterwards and he accepted laughing material status on different shows and even films.

[–]StellasMyShit 21 points22 points ago

the youtube description doesnt make a whole lotta sense

A Turkish man he thinks he can fly. With subtitles. Last video is series of commercial for Vodafone. An Main Guy, Selim, played by Şafak Sezer, (in right), all on the commercials symbolize the other rival operator. And color of Vodafone, The Red, when costomers/or peoples when they sick of Selim (operator), they call The Red. Which is the symbolize the Vodafone. Selim scared from Red, in all of the commercials.

[–]_GreyMatters 18 points19 points ago

All it's saying is that all of the clips are about a Turkish man who thinks he can fly, except for the last clip.

The last clip is a commercial that parodies the crazy man. If you look closely, the guy who freaks out and starts rolling on the ground is not the same man in the previous clips. It's an actor imitating the crazy guy. He's supposed to represent the phone company which rivals the one who made the commercial.

[–]BCouto 7 points8 points ago

This makes it x10 funnier

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points ago

OMG that video was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

[–]Mrleibniz 2 points3 points ago

Wow. Alaadin Sumar's eyebrows.

[–]Yoshi511 1 point2 points ago

[–]Colosphe 979 points980 points ago

Was the man suddenly possessed by a tornado?

[–]luckywaldo7 426 points427 points ago

I think he wanted to do cartwheels, but rolling around on the ground was the closest he could do.

you just solved world-fatness

Can you then solve world tooth decay?

Just when I thought I couldn't laugh any harder at a guy spazzing all over the place, you had to bring out the heavy lulz. +1 for you my good sir XD

[–]PostCaptainKat 62 points63 points ago

I seem to remember he was claiming he could levitate and had psychic powers. The first guy was claiming, this is bullshit because... And the levitation claimer started rolling and jumping about.

[–]Damnzombies 11 points12 points ago

this guy speaks the truth.

[–]Homjak 6 points7 points ago

[–]nosehat 2 points3 points ago

The famous Turkish victory roll!

[–]saydokan 80 points81 points ago

Background: The old man at the left is an imam. The man who starts flying says, that once god spoke to him while he was in a bus. He says in the real video: "At this momen I knew, that god spoke to me. He gave me the force to fly, and I tried and I really flew in the bus."

The Imam on the left says, that what he's telling is crazy shit and not possible, because Allah doesn't speak like he mentions he did. And the imam also says, the the guy on the right is lying, because he just can't fly. The suddenly the guy on the right starts shouting "Allah! Allah! I'm flying!" and starts to jump.

So yes, that's the background of this. Sorry for my bad English, I'm Turkish :)

[–]Darsol 22 points23 points ago

Oh man, that's even funnier than the caption. Thank you for the explanation.

[–]dresdraconius 10 points11 points ago

Your english is good.

[–]The_Painted_Man 5 points6 points ago

*you're

I am totally not serious.

[–]JacksonHannan 736 points737 points ago

Story behind this: Man claims that he flew by the power of Allah and that there were witnesses. TV hosts ask him to do it again, and... this happens.

[–]super_INEK 40 points41 points ago

and then he calmed down and said: "you better cut this out" but it was live.

[–]elastic-craptastic 17 points18 points ago

Please be true, please be true....

is it true?

edit: I'm getting conflicting answers. I'm gonna go with super_INEK and it's true.

[–]Makalol 0 points1 point ago

fun fact: Inek means 'donkey'. So you take the word of a... super donkey? He must be right!

[–]super_INEK 2 points3 points ago

yes, he really said that.

[–]Viperboy 3 points4 points ago

Now for the shocking truth: NO!

[–]Genmaken 105 points106 points ago

That is fucking hilarious. I'm rolling on the floor.

Rolling On The Floor Believing The Power Of Allah?

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

How many times do we have to tell you? Allah can't make you fly!

[–]GoopPie 56 points57 points ago

Miraculous!

[–]DownvoteALot 226 points227 points ago

He didn't take off, Allah has to warm up I guess.

[–]abledanger 61 points62 points ago

Flying is tricky business.

[–]goblinpiledriver 140 points141 points ago

Seems rather simple. Just have to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

[–]Gortos 23 points24 points ago

It is important to not think "yay, I'm flying", of course, or nature will notice and correct her mistake.

[–]ShakaUVM 5 points6 points ago

He needed clearance from the tower

[–]JH_92 26 points27 points ago

[–]gunstar69 2 points3 points ago

Jews, Muslims and Christians worship the same god, Allah is the phonetically English spelled of the Arabic word meaning god.

[–]JacksonHannan 2 points3 points ago

Yes, I know that. Of course, whenever I talk to one of my Muslim friends they always say Allah rather than God. That's really the only reason I made the distinction.

So yes, this is clear now, nothing to debate about, this is a show.......... the situation and claim, so was it like this or like that, I demand silence please!" -- end video.

[–]atlaslugged 2 points3 points ago

She says, "Yes. Yes. Mr. Sabri, what are you doing?" Then she says "buyrun" which is very difficult to translate. It's kind of an all-purpose thing like "here you go," "have a seat," "come in," etc.

[–]CaptainAmsterdam 12 points13 points ago

Holy shit that was a lot funnier than I had imagined.

[–]AtheistTVWeinberg 5 points6 points ago

I was hoping it would sound more like this.

[–]slimjimoohyea 4 points5 points ago

This is more amazing than the fake story.

A Turkish man who he can see the future and fly, goes absolutely nuts when the talkshow hosts question him about his powers. This man is surely surrounded by djinns.

[Sabri Bey: "Havada durdum sahitlerim var!"] translates to [Sabri Bey: ""I stood in the air there are witnesses!"]

[–]arksien 9 points10 points ago

Man, it boggles my mind that there are places in the world where still people get away with these claims.

[–]PhiladelphiaIrish 16 points17 points ago

It does. From what I've gathered via Google, the man went on the show claiming that he had flown. When asked to prove it, he started convulsing, jumping around, and yelling out "God!" Obviously, this resulted in him rolling around on the floor, and they had him removed from the studio.

Edit: Checked again, he's not a parliamentary figure.

[–]flowithego 2 points3 points ago

The parliamentary part is bullshit.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Genuinely unsure whether joking or serious.

[–]Maddox17 1 point2 points ago

Source on him being 'a parliamentary figure'?

[–]Xoebe 9 points10 points ago

"Parliament" is a Turkish euphemism for psychiatric ward. It's just easier to tell the "ministers" they are in "parliament".

[–]rHcKing 8 points9 points ago

You realize this same type of talk show exists in America.

Tyra had a "special" about a teenager who claimed he was a legit vampire and the entire show revolved around him doing stupid sh!t just like this reddit post.

[–]ericjk1 8 points9 points ago

I was watching this live while I was a Turkey (I'm Turkish). This man came on this TV show claiming that he can fly and communicate to the other side. His name is Sabri. The man on the left tell him to prove. They now call him "Uçan sabri" which translates to "Flying sabri". He has appeared in movies and other TV shows by now. Got a lot of airtime
