Particularly famous is the first part, Kuulsuse narrid (Fools of Fame), whose protagonists Jaan Tatikas and Saalomon Vesipruul have become well-known stereotypes in Estonian culture.
One of the most famous failed inventions of Tatikas was a man-powered device supposedly capable of moving over land and water and flying in air (and interplanetary space).
Tatikas named the device Kallewipoegk, a horribly misspelt but recognisable reference to Kalevipoeg.
The first part ends with Jaan Tatikas accidentally blowing up his house while trying to invent a machine to convert dolomite into pork, but surviving due to being away during the explosion.
A musical humoratory on the motifs, heavily influenced by modern culture, was prepared in 2005 by Jüri-Ruut Kangur and Tõnno Piigli.
