CM101MMXI Fundamentals

Cem Yilmaz is the most professional comedian in Turkey. He has his own brain team that observes and thinks of daily funny situations and then he writes it into a script I believe.

As Turks we are haters. So there are so many people hates Cem Yilmaz. Therefore, I am no really surprised about the 1/10 or even other low ratings..

I am not a person who would write a review about a movie or documentary but the lack of English and the hate i have seen from the previous review encouraged me to write a review.

Anyway, lets talk about the show now. Firstly I watched it in the cinemas because I was not in Turkey when he was doing live shows. It was fully packed and the duration of the show was about 140 minutes. Which was great, because less than that would be unprofessional and more than 140 minutes would make people get bored in my opinion.

In addition, his jokes and observations are so spot on! He is just genius and he knows the Turkish people so well. He knows our pros and cons and he admits he has the same ups and downs in his daily life.

In Turkey, we always love being critical on people who are successful. It is just the culture in our beautiful country.

As a conclusion, Cem Yilmaz is the greatest of all times. He is my childhood hero and yes he may use a lot of "cursing" or he may talk about sexual things a lot but he is still right about making those jokes and he is hilarious. Every time i watch I get my jaw dislocated because of his humor.

Thanks God! For sending Cem Yilmaz to this country.

Peace!

There's something magnetic about CM101MMXI Fundamentals. It's not just a stand-up special-it's a cultural touchstone, a perfectly paced, razor-sharp dissection of everyday life through the eyes of Cem Yilmaz, who by this point had already proven himself as a master of the craft. But this performance? This is him at the absolute peak of his powers.

From the moment he walks on stage, there's this electric sense of command. He's not just telling jokes-he's orchestrating an experience, each segment building on the last with surgical precision. Whether he's impersonating clueless tech support agents or mimicking the overly enthusiastic airport announcers, the impressions land every single time, drawing howls of laughter not just because they're funny, but because they're true. He finds humor in the hyper-specific nuances of Turkish life, from wedding culture to mobile phone habits, and brings it all to life with incredible timing and physicality.

The brilliance of CM101MMXI lies not just in its content, but in its structure. This isn't a loose collection of bits-it flows like a symphony. The pacing is near flawless, never dragging or overstaying its welcome. Cem knows exactly when to dial up the energy, when to pause, when to let the crowd breathe-and that makes all the difference. Even on repeat viewings, it never loses its edge. Every joke feels crisp. Every observation feels fresh. It's a comedy masterclass hiding behind the mask of casual storytelling.

And yet, what truly elevates it is its cultural permanence. CM101MMXI has been quoted, referenced, and memed to the point where it's practically woven into the fabric of Turkish pop culture. It has transcended the label of "stand-up special" and become a shared experience. You can't mention topics like "teknolojik cahillik" or "havaalani anonslari" without someone grinning and quoting a bit from this show. It's part of our modern folklore now.

It's hard to imagine any other Turkish stand-up show topping this-not because it's perfect in a technical sense, but because of the way it struck such a perfect balance between cleverness and relatability, stage presence and improvisation, wit and warmth. Cem Yilmaz didn't just make people laugh; he etched himself into memory. CM101MMXI Fundamentals isn't just a comedy show-it's the benchmark.

CM101MMXI Fundamentals was honestly one of the worst stand-up specials I've seen. The humor feels incredibly forced, and it's difficult to even call it comedy. The performer spends way too long trying to land jokes that simply aren't funny, and it feels like there's little to no structure to the entire act.

This show feels like it's littered with fake positive reviews because I genuinely can't see how anyone would find this entertaining. It's one thing to watch a comedian that doesn't align with your sense of humor, but this was just uncomfortable to sit through. Overall, an unfortunate waste of time.

There isn't much to write about. I don't know, how many times have I watched it. I've memorized it now :) He does this job very well. It was very funny and entertaining.

But my critism is using too much english jokes. Yes i understand them all but i find it cheap and lame. I feel like he is bragging about knowing english. Which half of the world already knows at the age 15. Older standups are 20 stars this is 9.
