    You mean unlucky me..

    Show sucks, Aurelian beats me to it, but its not funny.

    Its an attempt to arabise the show to garner more people to it, but even if you don't understand a smattering of english you'll enjoy it more than the arabic show, becuase in all honestly its lame.

    He doesn't go to bars yes, but whats the difference between a bar and a haneh or whatever they call it in arabic? its still seedy and full of lowlifes as well.

    Kahk is also the arabised version of Cake, well its basically any run of the mill cake, notice the pronounciation?

    Also Huneidi guy, robert de niro my camels dung, hes horrible.

    Only redeeming factor is Badr, the voiceactor does it in a very professional way, but its still crap.

    Everything from the show is unchanged, its just dubbed, and replaced with different words that are arab "friendly".
