Was guckst du?! (What are you looking at?!) was a German Sketch Comedy show, running from 2001 to 2005 on Sat.1. Host of the show, and also the main actor, was Kaya Yanar, the son of Turkish immigrants, and therefore a member of the biggest minority group in contemporary Germany. The ethno-comedy even starts at the show's title: Of course it refers to the fact that you are watching a tv-show, but it is also what a foreigner would say if he is irritated by you staring at him just because he looks different.

  • Was guckst du?! (What are you looking at?!) was a German Sketch Comedy show, running from 2001 to 2005 on Sat.1. Host of the show, and also the main actor, was Kaya Yanar, the son of Turkish immigrants, and therefore a member of the biggest minority group in contemporary Germany. His ethnicity was also Kaya's schtick and provided the general theme of his show: All the cultural quirks, differences and conflicts that appear when people of different ethnicities meet each other, were played out in an exaggerated and comical way. (And not just people of his own ethnicity were spoofed by Kaya, but also many others.) Theoretically, this kind of show could go horribly wrong, but the fact that it was very popular among native Germans and immigrants alike, proofs that Kaya did it right, most of the time. The ethno-comedy even starts at the show's title: Of course it refers to the fact that you are watching a tv-show, but it is also what a foreigner would say if he is irritated by you staring at him just because he looks different.
