Latma!
The slick internet comedy show from Caroline Glick that came up with numerous memorable moments has returned and this time on “proper” Israeli TV. Channel 1 is airing a new show called “We’ll be the Judge” every Thursday featuring the familiar faces and writers from Latma’s “Tribal Update”. The second show has just hit YouTube with English subtitles (first episode is missing in action at this stage).

As Arutz 7 writes:
In debuting on TV two weeks ago, Latma broke the leftist monopoly on TV satire, although many fans complained the show had changed its original style along with most of its cast and gone more “mainstream.”
That change was seen in more skits on social issues along with jokes containing sexual innuendos, and included a shift away from some of the hard-hitting right-wing comedy that had won it a loyal fan-base to begin with, with some speculating this may have been dictated by Channel 1 as a condition for being broadcasted.
However the second episode recovered some of the original spark of the series with strong opening skits of US President Barack Obama and the return of Latma classic Tawil Fadiha, the Palestinian minister for matters of uncontrollable rage who represents the Palestinian Authority.
Fans remain hopeful that the show will return to more of its tried-and-true style, even while remaining in the new more “mainstream” format.
Just to remind you of some of their past hits we have Latma Does Pallywood, Latma Presents: Guns, Guns, Guns and Latma Presents: Somebody To Hate just to pick out a few we’ve run here on Israellycool.
