Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Asfour (Hebrew: עַסְפוּר) is an Israeli dramedy series written by Khanan Savyon and Gai Amir, directed by Rani Sa‘ar, and produced by Sumayoko productions.The series tells the story of Moti Amoyal, a man in his early thirties who decided to ‘quit the rat race’: he lives with his three best friends, Itzik Bensuli, Ra‘anan ‘Katsar’ Avital, and Morley ‘Newton’ Avital, on a little lot Moti inherited from his grandfather, with old unused buses (hence the nickname ‘the Bus Farm’) used as houses and a built-in shower and kitchen and anything they need, in the outskirts of Jerusalem. Moti has a job washing bodies before their funerals and Itzik works at a local garage, while Katsar and Newton get their food from a local soup kitchen.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The trouble starts when Moti is informed by the Jerusalem city hall that he has a debt of 750,321 NIS, due to his late grandfather allowing criminals to use the place as a dumping ground for their waste. He has two months to get the sum, lest the four get evacuated and have nowhere to live.This just gets more complicated, as it turns out that Moti, in a trip to India he had before the show began, had a passionate romance with an Israeli traveller he found there. Said woman, Shir Ambar, is now back in Israel, and her boyfriend, ‘Amit Peled, trying to impress his father Yaïr into getting his father’s appreciation and a promotion (he works for his father’s insurance company, Peled Insurance), is doing everything in his power to make Moti and his friend fail at getting the money and get the lot for himself, as he finds out the city hall has big building plans for the lot, making it worth millions.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Add to that a Love Triangle with both Moti and ‘Amit trying to get and hold onto Shir, Shir’s best friend friend Yuli Barkai and her quest for love, some shady connections to organised crime, Moti’s complicated relationship with his family, Moti’s sister Sivan trying to get the money for the class trip to Polandnote Israeli sophomore students usually go to Poland to see the ghettos, concentration camps, and whatnot to get a seriously toned down experience of what the Holocaust was like. Students usually raise the money to go themselves, but often help each other out. The trip is quite controversial, partially due to its high costs, as students have to pay extra for keeping all the food kosher, even though many students couldn’t care less about kosher laws. and budding romance with her shady classmate Tavor, mix it all up with the recurring themes of social casting, morality, and faith and you got one of the most critically acclaimed series in Israeli Television ever. | |

| Asfour / int_109dbb51 | comment |
Pull the Thread: Newton goes on a date with a Hebrew University student named Orli. He pretends to be a student of architecture, but it turns out he didn't think to check his facts: there is no architecture faculty in Jerusalem, and Orli thinks he goes every day to the Tel-Aviv University to study there (that’s about one hour by car in either direction, if you’re lucky enough to avoid traffic). Newton decides to stop lying, tell her his true situation, which makes her think of him as honest and refreshing, soon becoming his girlfriend. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
| Asfour / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son!" Guy: Downplayed and occasionally subverted. ‘Amit tries to get his father’s approval due to a great part to the promotion his father put up for him. He also doesn’t seem to obsess to much about it, even threatening to leave his father’s company. It turns out Yaïr resents his son because he felt ‘Amit ‘stole’ his wife from him, tearing their marriage apart before her untimely death. Moti also has issues with his father, Reuven, who strongly disapproves of his son’s lifestyle, to the point Moti generally avoids his father when he comes to visit and his father doesn’t hesitate to call him a thief at one crucial point. Moti doesn’t want to live up to his father’s expectations, but rather to accept his way of life. | |

Title Drop: The first episode has Victor calling Moti ‘Asfour’ (from Arabic عصفور ʿaṣfūr, ‘a swallow’), saying it’s some sort of a bird that brings good fortune. Later on it’s used in its other meaning: Israeli law-enforcing jargon for ‘police informant’. | |

Failed a Spot Check: Newton tries hinting to someone that he has pot to sell. That someone is an undercover cop. This on its own is not so bad, only Newton does increasingly more obvious gestures and clearer language, to the point he mimics quite grotesquely the act of smoking a joint. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Avigail, Shir’s mother, is a subversion. She tends to act like that to Moti, finally even publicly calling him a thief after he tried proposing to Shir with a ring he didn’t know Itzik had stolen from Avigail, but it’s all due to genuine concern for her daughter. | |

What Did I Do Last Night? | |

What Did I Do Last Night?: Katsar never remembers anything he did once he becomes sober. The gang, in their usual Running Gag, tell him he does all sorts of crazy stuff when he’s drunk, which he believes. Moti finally tells him about it when Katsar tells him he slept with Orli while drunk and doesn’t remember it. That’s how Katsar realises he never slept with Orli. | |

| Asfour / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: Watching the gang talk in their special Jerusalem jargon tends to make one feel that way. It doesn’t help that occasionally some words are difficult (or even impossible) to understand from context, and that cultural memes like the tishpishtinote Mediterranean walnut and semolina cake and the dola and zurnanote a traditional wedding dance among Kurds and Turks are usually not understood by common Israelis. | |

She gives them the ‘100 Test’: she gives them the imaginary scenario of a man walking in with exactly 100 NIS to spend. Both then have to find items that cost exactly 100 NIS in total. Newton goes first, grabs an assortment of products, reaching about 94 NIS. Katsar, in turn, says, ‘Three Gato Negrosnote ‘Gato Negro’ is the name of a brand of poor wine..’ He wins: Newton never noticed the sign saying ‘SALE: 3 Gato Negros for 100 NIS’. | |

The Atoner: Itzik. Once, he makes amends with a religious woman he slept with and ruined her shidduch (amusingly, she wanted him to sleep with her again, this time with her as a dominatrix). Twice, he, together with Newton and Katsar, asks Moti burn him alive, saying what they did was entirely unforgivable. Moti only softens up when Newton clumsily screws up pouring gas over himself, making everyone laugh. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Played straight and narrowly averted by Itzik. He turns himself in for stealing the ring in an attempt to make amends with Moti, and in the last two episodes of the season he fakes his own death to incriminate Kobi. | |

Cannot Spit It Out | |
| Asfour / int_653c5c73 | comment |
Cannot Spit It Out: Moti never tells Shir he left her because he knew their positions in society were too far apart (he comes from a poor family, the son of a poor night guard; she is from the very top of society, the daughter of the late Mikhael Ambar, a very successful criminal lawyer), or why he was troubled around her (he overheard Avigail badmouthing him in front of Shir over the phone, when Shir accidentally answers his phone call instead of filtering it). Also, his code of honour never lets him rat out his friends, even after they’re no longer his friends. This is why he never tells anyone how he got the ring, even after Itzik confesses he stole it. | |

The Reveal: The last episode reveals Saragousti survived Victor’s vicious attack, only to become severely retarded and completely unable to function. Kobi has been keeping as the now retarded shell of a man, was not the one behind Kobi; Kobi used him to pretend he was ‘Just Following Orders’ and had information of someone greater than himself. A less dramatic one: Juliette is Kobi’s wife. | |

How We Got Here: The first episode shows Moti, Newton, and Katsar, standing next to a fresh grave, and putting a funeral wreath with a ribbon saying, ‘Farwell, say hi to Zohar’. The show backs up two months, showing only one more scene from the end of the plot at the end of the episode (Shir coming by car in her wedding dress with teary eyes, taking the veil off her head). What exactly happened is revealed entirely only on the last episode. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: Yuli introduces her new boyfriend Bo‘az to Shir. Bo‘az tries to hit on Shir. Shir tricks him into getting handcuffed to the bed with a blindfold on while Yuli tasers him thoroughly. Both ‘Amit and the gang get screwed over for every immoral trick they play for their gains. Saragousti, being the worst offender, gets the worst hit. At the end, it’s Moti’s one entirely selfless act of bringing Tsuf back together with his Haredic brother Sha‘ya that gets them the money, as Tsuf is insanely rich and bequoth it to Moti in gratitude. | |

Neck Lift: After Itzik tells Moti about the cable scheme, the ring, and how they lost all their money in the Poker scheme, Moti furiously jumps on Itzik, knocking him down, and nearly strangles him to death (Newton and Katsar can be heard shouting, ‘He’s going purple!’). He doesn’t lift him up and does this out of sheer fury, but considering how Itzik tried getting the money behind his back and turning Katsar and Newton against him, this can be an assertion of dominance. | |

After a few years they found out it was due to him being a victim of Danny ‘Buddies’, ‘some freak who’d walk around the city park, showing kids his “parrot”note In Hebrew, ‘bulbul’ (pronounced the same in Hebrew) is the equivalent for ‘willie’.’. | |

Ambiguous Disorder | |
| Asfour / int_e8cfde67 | comment |
Ambiguous Disorder: Zvulun ‘Zuta’ Khajbi. He has a strange body language and style of speech and is constantly seen filling lottery tickets, waiting to win (he eventually does, but gets hit by a bus; he survives and initiates a brief subplot). He could also be somewhat mentally retarded, though he hasn’t shown any signs of poor deductive abilities, and, in fact, found an interesting and original way to protect his winning lottery ticket. | |

Groin Attack | |
| Asfour / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: Brief scene played for laughs. Katsar kicks the ball at Newton’s soft spot during a game of penaltiesnote that is, a game in which two players take turns trying to kick the ball past their opponent into his/her ‘goal’, practically leaving out the whole footy part and leaving just the penalties. Played more seriously when Shir knees a police higher-up who hits on her, threatening to release info about him if he doesn’t reveal info about her father. | |

Distracted by the Sexy | |
| Asfour / int_f10d3363 | comment |
Distracted by the Sexy: Itzik is tempted to stay a bit too long with his, ahem, ‘ladyfriend’ who works for city hall. He makes it back to the Bus Farm in the nick of time to tell Moti not to sell the lot to ‘Amit. | |

Tagline | |
| Asfour / int_f51f4509 | comment |
Tagline: ‘Working blacknote that is, without reporting to the IRS, smoking greennote that is, smoking pot, and seeing pinknote that is, looking at the world with an optimistic view.’ There is also Itzik’s famous quote: ‘You can only see a pink worldnote that is, a happy and optimistic world through red eyes.’ | |

Good People Have Good Sex | |
| Asfour / int_f69a5d0 | comment |
Good People Have Good Sex: Downplayed. Newton turns out to be mind-blowing good in bed. He’s not some outstanding moral beacon, but he does have his moments, he does get punished when he tries using underhanded tricks to get the money, and he is shown to be a bit naïve. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Asfour / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Moti and Victor. It’s nigh impossible to get Moti really furious, and Victor seems to be a nice person in his few appearances, but you should never, ever cross the line with those two. | |
