[5] The show's initial goal was "to combine the style of South Park with local cult such as Giv'at Halfon".
[6] Director Assaf Harel claimed that the fact that the show was created for a cable network made it possible to use a blacker and more extreme type of humor, which he compared to that of South Park.
[7] In general, South Park is widely considered the show's biggest influence by Israeli critics and fans.
The show's themes included, among others, the tensions between Haredi Jews and homosexuals, the media attention given to Ilan Ramon (prior to his death), the aliyah from Ethiopia, the West Bank barrier and the Split broadcast incident.
