This is one of the cheesiest videos I’ve seen in a while but its worth watching because its that bad. The story is about a high school student in Kuwait who feels Kuwait resembles O.C. (Orange County). [YouTube]

No point of this, a bunsh of board guys
ZOMG teh GAAAZZzzZZZZzZ!
so silly..
haha i blogged this last month. I loved it!
the last 20 sec. are the best bit of the clip.. you know the BLACK SCREEN part..
The best thing about it is the camera angels and the lighting. Otherwise total BS.
For a moment i thought the guy was ‘jerking off’ on the sofa ..hehe
It’s nice when a bunch of spoiled brats make total idiots of themselves.
Since when did english girls know about the mighty tarqeem anyways lol.
The problem is the star of the show seems too shy to show his face.
I have seen this from a little while back now! lol!
Why all the negative comments? At least they took the initiative to practice their video making skills.
Law amreecan chan giltaw wow wanasa 3ajeeb.
why is there almost 2 minutes of black at the end?
Censored by the MOI lol :P
I enjoyed the last 2 minutes.
i second miyafushi
So in Kuwait you also have the Love street? :-p
The video itself is indeed silly, cheesy & pointless. I don’t understand why did they make it. But for a fact I admit that the quality of the video is really very good.
i would apreciate it very much if for once someone would show kuwait off as something other than an american wannabe infested nation with ppl trying desperatly to display it as a narcotic infested miami…
and stick with one language as well
miyafushi: 9a7, 3aleehom bil3afya itha hathe hwayat’hom, bas itqarneenhom ib amreecan?
americans dont play kuwaiti music and talk arabic using our slangs, unlike this vid with “hunnies…beaaauuutiiifuuuul…pick up girls man…wassup hommie…”
u get my point? chithe ga3den eshawhoon il sim3a more 6al 3umrech :P
silly kids! and wheres this love street ?
directions please ! :D
the jeans, the t-shirt, the hat, the filipino, the accent, the “diwaniya”. why?? couldnt stand watching the rest. so annoying
loved the gerrard goal :) ynwa
I was hoping this day wouldn’t come.
lol, that was funny! :)
damn that was lame
i think the O.C is even worse
Couple of thoughts:
1- I consider this an insult to the “O.C.”, the best teenage drama on TV.
2- The accent was just horrible.
3- Seeing the Kuwait Towers made me miss Kuwait.
4- I think they should have come up with a better script than this one…hell, even I can come with something.
5- Rap Music…ehhh
Awesome. Creative and perfect piss take of the average Kuwaiti life. Saw this a while back, still funny on a re-run.
I know that guy who said ” Etqi6 el raqim” LOL i work with this guy … Farhaan YOU ROCK! :P
Mark: O.C. stand for Ocen City, the TV show … :)
lfc-q8: wtf? what does that have to do with this? lol
Armani: O.C. actually means Orange County, that’s what the TV show stands for :P
lfc-q8: nevermind, should’ve watched the video first :P
YNWA!
I think everyone is taking this video too seriously. It’s pretty fun to watch.
cool i love it wait 4 more
totally agree with Patrick.
it seems like the video was made with the intent of being cheesy and silly, so why is everyone suprised that it turned out that way..
its not like they were going for a tragic drama. they were simply rippin on ‘tarqeem’ in kuwait oo how the OC blew up in kuwait and every 3gaidy started watching it.
Don’t hate on them for actually doin something viewable (script aside, that is)..
damn thats some major critisism,
first of all, this video was made as a hobby/small project
second of all, it was made to sound cheesy,and as patrick said, everybody is SERIOUSLY taking this video too seriously, grow up, enjoy what ur fellow q8tiz have done,
and oh yah kuwait is a freakin “an american wannabe infested nation with ppl trying desperatly to display it as a narcotic infested miami…”
and liverpool sucks !!
peace
Mathew : love street is 2nd ring road..if you drive through this road in the evening you can see all these things..
I like it so much.
My review:
The guys were great they really did a great job, they need to work on there both acting and Eglish skills.
I think they can make the Arabic version of The OC
I vote 8 out of 10.
Listen you sick bunch off critics.. i dont know who died and made you all judges of content. This video was a simple attempt to poke fun at the lifestyle opportunities for the average kuwaiti growing up with no way to get out and socialize.. if you cant get past the humor of the beginning, which I believe is an accurate representation of the youth of Kuwait (have you been to the malls lately), then your perception of Kuwait must be blurred
^^^ I am guessing thats the guy behind the movie
no but i know these guys.. and they were just doin it for fun.. they were testing out their video making skills and trying to make a comment instead of sitting on their PCs all day commenting on other ppls crap without ever having made a creative gesture in their life that is worth sharing…
would you rather these ppl made a video about the Geeez culture or resorted to it like the majority of the youth of kuwait?
So you are saying this video is not cheesy?
its cheesy as hell… i didnt say anything about that.. Im not talking to those critics.. Im talking to the haters that are picking at every little item in the video… the hat? the jeans? the tshirt? thats what those idiots wear here.. the music? its whats on the radio here.. its the music of the Geezi Nation. The slang terminology? typical. The American Wannabees? Also typical (although its just a product of Americanization.. You put a Korean kid in an American school, you dont expect him to americanize?)
bin-salim: chill the hell out, u dont know what ur talking about it seems.. the day americans talk kuwaiti and listen to arabic music is the day kuwait becomes a cultural hotspot to the world… i really see u working hard to achieve that..
and Angelo: get a life.. the OC? this is a mockery of the OC.. and if you didnt figure that out, then ur in the wrong place..
I can’t believe this has become a subject of debate.
a friend of mine is behind it, not
sufius… he visited and thot of doing such thing and with my skills i helped !
think my skills r bad, but all this u saw was unscripted, so during editing… magic had to be dont.
so participate guys, and dont playaaaaaaa hate.
all i wanna say, u guys taking this too seriously, and whoever commented on the camera angles,,, thanx man.
and yeah 1 more thing, why dont u guys come up with something ? so this side of the MoC can criticize !!!
but anyways,,, the real deal is coming soon. stay put
cheers
loool wala good work!! can u pull off a video like that?? who would have the time!!
@Aromal, thanks for the location :)
now all i have to do is get a Ferrari cap and cruise for chicks ! :D
Sorry Mark, but that MTC ad you made was Tacky cheese at it’s best!!
Everything ok ok ok?….Ffs…rubbish.
duh no really?? Of course it was cheesy!
I really think that was a job well done.. their message was very clear, and for those who are having a hard time trying to figure out that this is a spoof of the show O.C., then get out of kuwait..LOL.. sorry just had to say it since its being said all the time.. anyway back to being serious.. i really enjoyed the amateur video making skills, the acting wasn’t great, but at least these guys were gutsy enough to do it. fellas, great job, and good luck.. anyone have any contact info.. i would like to get in touch with the person who made the video.
That video sucked. Advice to the guys, Geta life and stop acting like your americans.
Man! I thought I was screwed up but nuh uh! That guy needs prayers! *runs off to hire some nuns*
Plaaaaaaaaayaaaaaa…. Haaaaaaaateeeers…
So chill to the next episode!
@Sufius
OK, first of all, I have a life and a damn good one too, so please learn how to argue properly instead of bashing people. Second, my comment was intended to criticize the comparison. What I mean is that video does not represent or mock the O.C. whatsoever. I need you to tell me who was supposed to be Ryan, Seth, Merissa, and Summer. If you mean the two chicks and two dudes in the car, then it is really a dumb comparison. For example, if I was expecting a mockery of Friends than I would expect 3 guys and 3 girls sitting in a coffee shop or an apartment, get it?
Sorry Mark. I hate to use your blog for “replying” purposes but I had to.
Angelo,
just stop talking, please… like go lock yourself in a dark room and stay quiet.
i really didn’t know 13 year olds could type..
I have never laughed so hard in my entire life. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I thought the video was a riot!
Yes it was cheesey but i guess that was the whole point. If you didnt think it was cheesey then you misses the point.
Good job guys and looking forward to the sequel…
maybe something along the lines of heroes??
fly from the abraj? or telecommunication tower.
