Gaffur is yet another internet phenomen just about to explode worldwide. In reality he is a cult chacter played by Peker Acikalin in a TV-Series called Avrupa Yakasi (European Side) in Turkish TVs. He recently joined to the series about 2 months ago and immediatelly managed to start Gaffurmania craze. In a blink, his videos spread around internet and become one of most sought video clips.

The credit goes to Serdar Kuzuloglu and the rest of CNN Turk team to realise this bold move.
