I agree with Betul, that it is actually kinda average culturally speaking. It is probably watered down for certain contexts, maybe a bit overdone for other contexts. But you can’t really have one production like this that matches all contexts.

The fact that nothing in the video is an overstatement, makes the whole issue over the top. And I am glad it does.

Here is a real life example:

I thought it was some weird brand of Turkish humor or something. Then things came together. Yeah, it’s kinda “over the top”, but it’s also, in many ways, right on target. Kinda makes (some) people think!

I’ll give it a shot. Hell, I’m part way there as it is anyway.
