The channel's profile picture.

**Omco** (formerly known as **wizi20** and **Seherzad**) is a Bosnian YouTube web-series created by Omer Nadarević in June 27, 2009. It centers around Omer Nadarević, a fat and funny Bosnian man who goes on multiple adventures throughout the series with his relatives and friends. The series currently has 7 seasons.

## Creation

The first known Omco series was created in 2006 by the name of wizi20. The first video on the channel, "Bicycle Bihac", released on 17th December 2006, is the video known to have begun the whole era of the Omco series. The channel would post multiple videos about tests and other stuff, but it became inactive after the original Omco series was created in 2009, firstly known as "Seherzad". The first video on that channel was "Omco feat bika", which featured a young Omer having a conversation with an old Bosnian lady on a field. After that, the next skit was created called "Bosanskoj seljačini se pokvario Audi" (Bosnian peasant's Audi breaks down), which was a skit about a car breakdown. The channel soon became inactive for 5 years before beginning to post comedy skits and videos of other content.

In 2019, ever since Season 4 began, a sequel to the series was created called FatTV. The series was also produced by Omer himself, this time in English language. On that channel, his videos consist of him and his relatives/friends dressing up as Marvel and DC characters and going on various adventures to stop crime from happening. The channel became popular due to the Crazy Hamburger meme in 2020.

## Flanderization + Criticism

Around the middle of Season 4, Omco began to develop serious causes of flanderization and devolve with its creativeness of making videos to pure madness. The nowadays style of humor consists of destroying vehicles, breaking things, screaming, crazy behavior, angering people and, of course, domestic abuse. Many YouTubers began to criticize the series soon after, as well as most news websites, including a YouTuber called "Ozbiljne Teme". He ordered his fans to comment "Omer 'Domestic Abuse' Nadarević je moj omiljeni Jutjuber" (Omer "Domestic Abuse" Nadarević is my favorite YouTuber) and 'Svojim stereotipičnim humorom sam unazadio Bosnu 3 decenije' (I downgraded Bosnia by 3 decades with my stereotypical humor) on nearly all of the videos on the series. After a while, Omer turned off the comments on his newer videos to avoid more hate.

The 4th episode of Season 6, "Bosanske seljačine na sahrani" (Bosnian peasants at a funeral) was released on April 25, 2021. The video garnered huge amounts of criticism and hate due to the fact that Omer and his relatives danced around a coffin while drinking alcoholic beverages while also destructing the coffin in very violent ways. The thing Omer did was considered making fun of funerals, which isn't allowed at all. News websites heavily criticized him for what he did.

On May 6th, 2022, Omer would stop making videos in Bosnian and would devolve into making videos in English similarly to FatTV. The reason was that FatTV would give Omer huge earnings and cash, while the original channel would remain normal and not give a lot. He was criticized a bit for this, mainly in the comments of the video "Gay Marriage VS Straight Marriage", the only English video on the original channel that has comments on.
