It features satirical references to current affairs of the past week through parodies of the people involved, as well as the thoughts of recurring characters.

Its basic format, relying on a team of actors and comedians, and combining satirical and comedic content proved itself and gained success.

"Eretz Nehederet" is structured like a satirical news edition, featuring politicians, public figures, celebrities, and fictional characters as guests every week.

The host of the show, Eyal Kitzis, is presented as the sole serious figure who openly anticipates meaningful responses from his guests, often serving as the mediator and "the straight man" for most of the jokes.

The show's team consists of regular participants who sometimes change between seasons, and is occasionally strengthened by guest appearances by other well-known artists from various fields.

In later seasons, the show introduced various sketches created by emerging comedians who were not part of the regular team and were not directly involved in current events.
