Mr. Know-It-All (Abu Al-Mafhumeya)
“He thinks he knows everything. Too bad he's wrong about everything.”
Abu Fahmi is an ordinary government office attendant who firmly believes he's destined for greatness. In his mind, he could've been a brilliant scientist, a successful inventor, or even a world-class doctor if life had only given him a fair shot. Convinced he knows just about everything, he can't resist offering advice, fixing things, and getting involved in other people's problems, whether they ask for his help or not. Unfortunately, his overconfidence and questionable judgment have a habit of turning the simplest situations into hilarious disasters for himself, his family, and everyone around him.

Armed with endless confidence and very little actual expertise, Abu Fahmi sets out to prove that there's nothing he can't handle. From household repairs and workplace headaches to meddling in his neighbors' personal affairs, his attempts to make himself useful usually create more problems than they solve. Along the way, his family and friends find themselves caught up in one ridiculous misadventure after another.
