In “A Wonderful Land” they continue to do a faithful job and try to present the complicated reality in Israel in a slightly more humorous way. In an episode that aired last night (Wednesday), they decided to present the artists of the Corona days and while the halls are closed, private individuals’ houses appear in the courtyards. Apparently the viewers had not yet learned to take everything that happened on the satire show with a laugh, and were sure thatEviatar Banai, Who took part in a sketch calling for help and looking for work. At the end of the sketch he participated in, during which he appeared in the yard in front of two couples and won a kind of humiliation, Banai turned to the camera seriously and said “Did you laugh? Did you enjoy? Now a word seriously, it is important for me to make clear that despite what you saw here I have nothing against performances in people’s homes “My phone for booking shows, that’s really my number, you have a yard, I have a guitar, you have a small balcony? I have a small guitar.”
What Banai did not expect was that people would take him seriously and flood the phone with inquiries. The phone, which turned out to be the real phone of the Ministry of Invitations for his performances collapsed and the builder was left with no choice but to publish a post on the subject and explain the matter: “Listen … I thought the funniest part of the sketch was when I seriously turned to the camera and sold shows. This is what came out of it a bit of a weird entanglement, one that even the writers of Great Country did not anticipate. People just called the number that appeared on the screen because they thought my request for a real show booking and as part of the complication the number appeared on the screen was indeed from the booking office. “Really good. And I probably told it too seriously. It was a wonderful joke, but a good joke? I love you and it was great fun in the world.”
