History Series / TheJewsAreComing

* ShoutOut

** And there's also a sketch when an archaeologist first the greatest dig in history, evidence for the existence of the House of David - only to be corrected by his colleage that it's evidence for the existence of the House of [[Film/TheBigLebowski the Dude]]. (This is based on a quirk of Hebrew orthography whereby the same letters could be read 'Dah-veed' and 'Dood', among many other possible ways. This may explain a lot about the existence of the multitude of differing Biblical interpretations….)

* KillEmAll: Joab ben Zeruiah's solution for everything, as per [[Literature/TheBible canon]].

** And when Eliezer Ben-Yehuda walks into his house to find his son Itamar [[HormoneAddledTeenager with a bunch of porno magazines]], he's enraged. The reason? [[spoiler: The magazines are all in Yiddish, [[LanguageDrift and Itamar's suposed to grow in an all-Hebrew environment as part of its revival as a spoken language.]]]]

* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: Brutally averted in the Madhat Yusuf sketch.

* WarriorPoet: Avraham "Ya'ir" Stern. [[{{Deconstruction}} He gives commands to the Lehi mostly in poems, which isn't particulary effective,]] [[spoiler:[[{{Deconstruction}} and even helped expose a Lehi safehouse]].]]

** And then, in 1960 Buenos Aires, two Mossad agents happen upon a fugitive Nazi called Adolf who's expecting (but dreading) a specific kind of guests. [[spoiler:It's Hitler himself - Eichmann lives next door.]]

* TheFriendNoboyLikes: David Levy is constantly made fun of by his Likud peers, especially after he announces his bid for the party leadership after Menachem Begin retires.

* TheFriendNoboyLikes: David Levy is constantly made fun of by his Likud peers.

* FreudianSlip: a skit starring Sigmund Freud is built on this exclusively.

* GodwinsLaw: The "Nazi comparisons are hysterical and manipulative" line of argument is invoked ''in Nazi Germany'', with a guy calling the actual Hitler "Nazi" getting panned for ruining the discourse. The skit ends with Hitler approaching the guy and comforting him with "don't mind them. Bunch of fascists."

-->'''Farmer:''' Why would [my Arab guard burn my field]?
-->'''Israel Shochet:''' Well, he's angry!
-->'''Farmer:''' Why is he angry?
-->'''Alexander Zade:''' Well, he's unemployed!
-->'''Farmer:''' Why is he unemployed? He's guarding my field!
-->'''Both Shochet and Zade:''' Not anymore.
-->'''Israel Shochet:''' We're your guards now.

* BaitAndSwitch
** Studio executives argue with Steven Spielberg about the very grave tone of his major motion picture featuring mass extermination: [[spoiler: Film/JurassicPark]].
-->'''Executive''' (as Spielberg is leaving): oh, and about [[spoiler:SchindlersList]]? Cut the slapstick.

* DespairEventHorizon: Albert Einstein crosses it in his days during the Swiss patent office, which leads him to support [[NukeEm developing nuclear weapons of mass destruction]] in 1939.

* PigLatin: It appears (or rather, its Hebrew Equivalent, the Bet language) in a skit where Eliezer Ben-Yehuda chastises Eliezer Zamenhoff for just sticking "-os" at the end of every word in order to make UsefulNotes/{{Esperanto}}, while he struggles with actually creating new words for everything wholesale.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous: A group of covert post-WWII Nazis plot the ruination of Israel… by making it lose the Series/EurovisionSongContest year after year. This is a dig at the Israeli tendency to ascribe defeats in international competitions to political motives and/or anti-Semitism.

-->'''Elisha''': so... let's say that your son went a bit too far, and my bear went a bit too far, and put it all behind us.

* BloodKnight: Right before the opeation that would eventually snowball into the First Lebanon War starts, Rafael Eitan boasts about eating Yasser Arafat's face off and drinking strawberry-flavored yogurt out of his skull, and responds to Prime Minister Menachem Begin's warning that a large-scale operation with Lebanon would result in a war both with Lebanon and with Syria by noting that [[StrangelyArousing it causes a funny sensation in his pants]].

** A sketch showing Marcel Marceau fooling Nazis with his pantomime routine ends with them screaming "we should have [[{{Literature/Discworld}} killed all the mimes]] when he had a chance!"

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous: A group of covert post-WWII Nazis plot the ruination of Israel… by making it lose the Series/EurovisionSongContest year after year. This is a dig at the Israeli tendency to ascribe defeats in international competitions to political motives and/or anti-Semitism.

* JewsLoveToArgue: All the time. One of the more memorable skits is the meeting of the Elders of Zion where they get hung up on arguing whether an octopus in an antisemitic cartoon is real or a metaphor.

* SiblingYinYang: Leah and Rachel again.

** HaShomer uses this to presuade people to let them guard their fields:

-->'''Farmer:''' Why is he unemployed? He's guaring my field!

* KillEmAll: Joab ben Zeruiah's solution for everything, as per [[Literature/TheBible canon]].
* LargeHam: Famous stage actress Hanna Rovina [[MethodActing Stanislavskis]] her way through a variety of everyday situations such as going to the doctor and ordering food at a café.
* LoveDodecahedron: The Nili espionage network. Yosef Lishansky loves Sarah Aaronsohn, who loves Avshalom Feinberg, who loves Rivka Aaronsohn… they're so busy bickering about it that the resistance efforts completely fall apart (somewhat TruthInTelevision, at least according to the gossip of the time).

* PigLatin: It appears (or rather, its Hebrew Equivalent, the Bet language) in a skit where Eliezer Ben-Yehuda chastises Eliezer Zamenhoff for just sticking "-os" at the end of every word in order to make [[UsefulNotes/{{Esperanto}} Esperanto]], while he struggles with actually creating new words for everything wholesale.
