* NewsParody - The ''Tagesguck'', a spoof of the ''Tagesschau'' (Germany's most famous news show), with [[WTHCastingAgency bouncer Hakan as the anchorman]].

* WTHCastingAgency - One in-universe example is Hakan, the tough broad-shouldered bouncer, as news anchorman.

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 [[NationalStereotypes exaggerated]] and [[RuleOfFun comical way]]. (And not just people of his own ethnicity were spoofed by Kaya, but also [[WigDressAccent many others]].) Theoretically, this kind of show [[OnceAcceptableTargets could go horribly wrong]], but the fact that it was very popular among native Germans ''and'' immigrants alike, proofs that Kaya [[AffectionateParody did it right]], most of the time.

* InMyLanguageThatSoundsLike - Kaya often showcases clips of shows from foreign countries, where things said there sound like {{Mondegreen}}s to German ears.

''Was guckst du?!'' (''What are you looking at?!'') was a [[UsefulNotes/TheBerlinRepublic German]] SketchComedy show, running from [[TheNoughties 2001 to 2005]] on [[UsefulNotes/GermanTVStations Sat.1]].
Host of the show, and also the main actor, was Kaya Yanar, the son of [[UsefulNotes/{{Turkey}} Turkish]] immigrants, and therefore a member of the biggest minority group in contemporary Germany.

* BollywoodNerd - The Indian Ranjid seems to be quite nerdy. (He dresses awkwardly, he does understand a thing or two about computers, and one sketch shows the clerk of a record shop mocking Ranjid for demanding the [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome theme music]] of the German dub of ''Anime/CaptainFuture''. )

* FakeNationality - Kaya, except of course when he is playing Turkish characters, like Hakan.

* ButtMonkey - The Wetterarsch (Weather Ass [[hottip:*:The part of the body, not the animal. Yes, the first half of the trope is actually in his name!]] ). [[EmbarrassingNickname That's how Hakan calls]] the weatherman of his NewsParody. And no matter what the Wetterarsch does, Hakan always gets the opportunity to punch him in the face.
