gnomiClip from the next episode of "Srugim" (YouTube link).
(Clip is in Hebrew without either Hebrew or English subtitles; let the viewer beware.)
(Context/explanation for the non-Hebrew speakers/non-Srugim watchers... Yifat is in labor. After her water breaks as she eats ice cream while walking on the street in Jerusalem, she gets into a cab that happens to already contain Avshalom Kor. She thrusts her phone at him and asks him to call her friend, Reut. Reut answers and Kor tells her that he is in a cab with Yifat on the way to Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem. Reut does not believe him and says that it's not a funny joke. Kor continues to try to convince Reut, seemingly to no avail. He quotes a famous line from Naomi Shemer's song "Machar" ("kol zeh eino mashal v'lo chalom, zeh nachon ka'or b'tzohorayim" -- all this is not a fable or a dream, it is as true as light in the afternoon") and Reut begins to believe him. As a final test, Reut asks Kor, "What is the Hebrew word for Internet?" (something no one ever uses, as they use the word "Internet" instead). "Mirshettet," Kor says, in a tone that says "Of course everyone knows that!" Reut immediately says "OK. I'm on the way" and quickly hangs up.
The really funny part is at the end, when language is used to prove identity.
