The punch of "Great Country" doesn't matter. You can't start a joke like that - voila! culture.
When the starting point of the opening skit is the fresh nightmare of so many families, and on the day of another "permission to publish", who even cares about the punch that comes after it? "Wonderful Country" always runs in the tension between parody and satire, between the moments when it doesn't bite enough and when it is accused of biting too much. The contrast between the mournful faces of the uniformed officers and the clownish ultra-Orthodox caricature in front of them is sharp.
