The series focuses on the daily lives of three main characters—Yılmaz, İlkkan, and Ersoy—and their unusual reactions to extraordinary situations. Initially, only the characters Yılmaz and İlkkan were featured. Ersoy joined the series in the episode titled "Erasmus'la Gelen Yamyam" (Season 1, Episode 4).
Each episode features an independent storyline. Yılmaz is dominant, known for his sharp tongue and sarcastic demeanor. İlkkan tries to act logically but frequently finds himself in unexpected situations, appearing arrogant and mistakenly believing himself intellectual. Ersoy is naive, calm, unpredictable, and often overly concerned with small details. Other characters typically appear as guest stars, featured in only one or a few episodes.
