A Date With Rosie Palms is no longer a trope


* {{Squick}}: In exchange for the winning lottery ticket, Zuta asks Itzik (who is also hospitalised, as Kobi was hired to beat him up by ‘Amit) to get him Mazal Okhayun naked. This turns out to be troublesome, partially due to a certain NoodleIncident mentioned above. What does Itzik do? [[spoiler:He seduces a nurse that looks like her, has sex with her during the night when it’s too hard to see, then opens the curtain to let Zuta see, mouthing ‘Mazal!’ Zuta is [[ADateWithRosiePalms pleased]].]]

* TearJerker: The show has a few, with the last four episodes have those concentrated: [[spoiler:Moti’s teenage friend Hilel dying prematurely (this one happened earlier, though), with Moti having to prepare him for burial; conversation with his father about the whole ‘rat-race’ he hates; Tsuf’s death, even though it was from an illness and was long foreseen; Itzik’s death, even if it’s a fake; Itzik’s funeral, [[FakingTheDead even if it turns out to be a fake]]; Avigail gets cancer back; ‘Amit telling his father, ‘I did not take mum away from you,’ and his reaction; Shir confesses to Moti that she still loves him, despite marrying ‘Amit to make her mother happy before her death from cancer.]]
* WhatAnIdiot: Newton tries hinting someone that he has pot to sell. That someone is an undercover cop. This on its own is not so bad, only Newton does increasingly more obvious gestures and clearer language, to the point he mimics quite grotesquely the act of smoking a joint.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Katsar and Newton bet 18,000 NIS on Hapo‘el Umm al-Fahm (hopeless team) against Beitar (major team, which they support), having misinterpreted an earlier scene as a bribe given to the ref. A cop asks them why they did it. HilarityEnsues.

Complaining About Shows You Dont Watch is now only about the In Universe usage. Its usage as an Audience Reaction is being removed, as well as usage in criticism on work pages, which is inappropriate regardless.


* ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch: People frequently call it a show for ''arsim''[[note]]עַרְסִים, sing. ''ars'' עַרְס; the rough Israeli equivalent of guidos[[/note]], mention frequent use of bad language, and generally don’t think much of it. Those people rarely actually watch that show, or watch it from a biased point of view (the characters rarely curse, just use rugged slang).

* CompleteMonster: Kobi, Itzik’s rather shady friend. It’s implied his boss Saragousti [[spoiler:used to be]] an even bigger one, nearly killing him [[spoiler:when he caught him having sex with another man. He would’ve done it, had Victor not been there to whack him silly]].

* FridgeBrilliance: Newton’s first name rhymes with Orli’s.
* FridgeLogic: [[spoiler:Newton dumps Orli to let her sleep with other men, as she was a virgin before him and he doesn’t want her to stay curious about what other men might be like. Then he gets jealous when she tells him she slept with someone else.]]
* MagnificentBastard: ‘Amit. Kobi is even worse.
* MemeticMutation: Several phrases and Jerusalem slang words in the series became somewhat more popular during and slightly after its airing. Notable examples are the {{catchphrase}} above and Itzik’s quote below, as well as terms like ''zhonglaire'' (‘playa’) and ''papuk'' (‘dummy’, as in ‘stupid’; originally from Kurdish), and [[spoiler:Katsar’s and Newton’s improvised Umm al-Fahm fan song]].
