Fil Necati is one of the main characters in Kral Sakir, the Turkish animated series created by Varol Yasaroglu that premiered on Cartoon Network Turkey in 2016. Necati is a purple elephant whose trunk, jokes and lazy personality made him a favourite with children and older viewers sharing clips online. Short lines from the show began circulating as soundboard and short video sounds in Turkey, and this hortum clip is used in that same way, detached from its episode as a standalone joke.
