This dude made a cashcow out of dutch nationalism 🤣

[@HighlyCombustibleReacts]

I mean...you aren't wrong. However, we are a lot more tight knit of a group than you may think. Nothing fake about what is going on here. Jealous much? Or? Thanks for participating by the way, it's how I make my $$

[@acegriessen]

@@HighlyCombustibleReacts its smart for sure, i give you that. All power to you and good on you defending yourself. In the end if people feel good about it, they can. I am just amazed in general how strong the nationalism works in people, how it blinds them. With this its harmless off course. But wars are fought based on nationalism. I am just amazed by it.

[@JaN-Pigeon]

I don't the think sharing a culture internationally is the purest example of nationalism

[@acegriessen]

@@JaN-Pigeon all dutch people speaking and commenting proudly of a dutch sketch seen by a american who has to watch a translated version i might add, which i think would kill the subtle humour as its gets lost in translation, but thats just my opinion. That is a prime example of what nationalism is in my view. "Thats our boy!" Kinda thing. Anyways I am not trying to shit on it, just its fascinating to me.

I haven´t seen this scene of Andre for 15 maybe 20 years and it still makes me laugh as it did the first time. This man is absolutly loved by everybody. He has the gift of comedy, he doesn´t have to say something, just his face expression is enough.... All his co-stars, he worked with, had to break character at some point because he made them laugh by doing or saying what was not in the script

[@chris5145]

Superb to see a review from someone who is actually not Dutch! I have grown up with his sometimes hilarious performances on Dutch television, halfway the 80s when I was a kid. Such a pity Frans Van Dusschoten died early, he had a great voice, dry humour and was always known as the 'right hand' of Andre, often not getting the publicity he deserved. I feel he should have been more famous. As a soldier on guard and officer the two set a wonderful parody

[@TheMedionMark]

4:43 When he's being asked his name and he says: ''ZonderNaam'' (Without Name) and he says: yes my mother is a singer, with the singer he means Zangeres Zonder Naam (Female singer Without Name) which is the artistname from Maria (Mary) Servaes-Bey (1919-1998). A former Dutch female singer.

I love watching your videos on Andre van Duin. My parents are Dutch, I am born Australian. I have lived in the Netherlands for 35 years and was brought up with Andre van Duin... He is one of the best comedians Ever. I actually used to live close to where he lived. Very suclusive in his "normal" life. I remember everyone talking about his show the next day! I am 65 years old and living in Australia... for 30 years... never forget Andre's humour. Thanks for putting him on your podcast. I love it. Greetings from Lizzy from Australia 🦘.

He just turned 75, he's still one of the greatest comedians in the country.

[@viderethevaccinatorfromhol7536]

This is my childhood in a nutshell. André van Duin is one of the most beloved person's in the Netherlands. He was 40 years ago and he still is today. I adore him because he never betrayed himself as being openly gay. For my as a little child he was an role model and he still is. I am almost 50 😂

[@ilex471]

Some trivia about André: André van Duin is his stage name. His real name is André Kyvon (pronounced Keevón), but he was born as André Kloot. His father had the family's surname legally changed because it is 'embarrasing'. 'Kloot' can be translated into 'lump', but also 'testicle'. 'Duin' means 'Dune', and he chose it primarlly because, for dutch people, it sounds very 'common' or 'normal'. He choose 'van Duin' specifically because he grew up in a working class neighborhood in a condo without a garden, so his family used to stay the whole summer at a camping near the beach in Hook of Holland, which is only half an hour by train from Rotterdam, where he was born. He loved it there, because it was out in the open, and he grew up in a neighborhood with narrow streets without parks, and only a few trees lining the street.

[@helloitsme7553]

Thank you so much for this. It has been a while since I last saw this. Andre van Duin( the soldier) and Frans van Dusschoten(the Captain) were so great together. Watch more of these 2 if you can

[@misterhamstring1782]

03:16 the word-joke is missed by you due to translation (not your fault offcourse). The captain yells: "geef acht" which is translated "give attention". The letterly translation (for the yoke) would be "give eight" (acht also means eight in Dutch". That's why André replies "I only have one !" (to give) 😉

[@dawatcherz]

Fun fact: There's also a Band Zonder Naam (shortened to BZN) which is of course a contradiction as some as you use that as a name Oh and when the Captain shouts "geef acht!" he means "Attention!" But in Dutch it can also "give eight" hence the remark "I only got one"

[@Michiel1972]

Little explanation for those whose native language is not dutch. Rang is rank in English, the captain ask what his rank is, but the soldier thinks he asks for a candy which we have here in the Netherlands which is called 'Rang', which comes in a roll. So he offers a peppermint. 'Geef acht' is 'pay attention', but also 'give eight'. So the soldier thinks he has to give 8 riffles.

[@femkethielemans4686]

Ooh andre van duin love him ❤️

[@Linda-hs1lk]

Bit difficult to translate. 'Zondernaam' really IS a last name and means 'without name' (zonder naam). When he said 'my mother is a singer' people got the joke but only because they knew there really was a female singer whose name was 'Singer without a name'. There's also been a band 'without a name. Band Zonder Naam, better known as BZN.

[@makkie211175]

Mexico ( Maria Servaes-Bey )

[@cynthiamolenaar770]

Also the joke in the sentence ”heb je een rang?” Is lost because you’d have to know it was a candy called ”Rang” and rang is also the Dutch word for ”rank”. That’s why he offered a peppermint🤣

You should watch Andre's Animal Crackers. I always loved that show.

[@MusiSide]

About 'Without Name'… André replied: 'My mum's a singer!' In that era there was a Dutch lady-singer, Mary Servaes, who had the stage-name: 'Lady-singer Without Name'. She was famous for her interpretation of Dutch 'songs of life'... She was good friends with André, so she wouldn't mind he makes jokes about her name... In English 'perspective', the answer about André's name would be the same hilarious one, if he had answered 'Lynn'. And then: 'My mum's a singer!' 🌺

Andre van duin is great. He's really crazy. You should see more of him.

[@ChrisEchoes]

Andre is our one truly national treasure. He has done so much over the years from big comedy shows, novelty hitsongs, he voiced the very first Animal Crackers tv show (editing videos of zoo animals and animals in the wild like they were people and were talking, very funny). He had a hugely popular radioshow which was almost anarchic in nature where he and his conconspirator did all the voices for all the characters ... and they could do it live. Then he eventually even went into straight acting on the stage and tv drama. The last few years he has presented a wonderful baking competition on TV and a show in which he together with the female judge of that baking show went on boating trips around the Netherlands to show how beautiful this country is. And the last year he delivered a very moving speech at our National War Memorial service which is held every year on the evening of May 4, in which we commemorate all those fallen in WWII and in conflicts ever since. Probably the most absurd sketch I have ever seen him do is this one (hopefully you get the English subtitles): kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4vOm4Z3fbtsirs

[@moniquevandoorn8347]

The boating trips remind me of a very nice series of boating trips by an English couple of actors who are married. It is called Great Canal yourneys. I can recommend it.

[@fiskurtjorn]

Always great. But the best parts were when Andre got his fellow actors out of character with references to previous sketches.

"My mother is a singer" 🤣 A fameous female singer in The Netherlands was "Zangeres Zonder Naam" (stage name) = Singer Without a Name. 😉

[@FacelessJanus]

The Joke "Without Name" or Zonder Naam, refers to a Singer (female) who was known as Zangeres Zonder Naam (Singer Without Name.) Rang (Rank) used to be a brand name of candy that came in rolls, just like peppermint.

[@ucav6046]

I grew up with this guy, his comedy, his first radio podcasts, such a talent an so accessable. Also his co actor, Frans van Duschoten, is a talent for many programms in the 60 -90 era of Dutch entertainment and revu.

Some things can't be translated. For example: "Geef acht". "Give attention" is what is meant of course, but "acht" means "eight". That's why he is answering: I only have one. And "Heb jij een rang" (Do you have a rank). In Dutch a rang is a small candy. Therefore the answer: no, but I do have a peppermint.

[@Inge_NL]

he got an explaination about all of this before so he could undestand the jokes.

[@komkwam]

The last joke, is that the dude is not a soldier at all. Hes at the paleis of the "guarding" it. Since the palace can be visited by the public. The man is just the person who keeps an eye on the toilets. Witch the army captain doesn't notice. Andre van Duinds work is old, but its gold.

[@Nehalennia7.]

The "singer whitout a name " was a Dutch slinger of life songs, "de zangeres zonder naam " in Dutch !

[@MrTuubster]

This is a great trope used by Dutch and Belgian comedians. Rowan Atkinson did it too in his theater show. You have the comedian and a serious "aangever". The person giving the needs to have a joke. And then they do sketches. It's a great concept.

[@See-what-is]

If Andre would have been born in the USA he would have bee amongst the likes of Stan Laurel and Buster Keaton. We charish this man. Decades of hillarious laughter. It a certain point in life he understood that with his age he should show another side of him. Now he is probably the most loved artist here in the Netherlands. He is so friendly and warm. A very modest and humble man who doesn’t see how special and great he is. Hope we can enjoy him for many years to come

[@marileenoostingh5575]

I love that show! I used to watch is with my dad and lil sister. Usually, after, the show my dad would impersonate Andre. All laughs and giggles for my sister and me.

[@misterhamstring1782]

"Heb je een rang" (do you have a rank?) "No but I have a peppermint." "Rang" is a brand of candy 😅

[@Linda-hs1lk]

It reminds me of something that happened a long time ago when I visited the base nearby. I knew a captain there and they wanted to borrow my horse for some event. So I went there to talk about what should happen when one of the (back then still military service. Is that the right word? They HAD to) soldiers walked by and the captain I was talking to told the soldier to pick something up for him somewhere, forgot what it was. The soldier stopped, just looked at him and said 'something wrong with your hands? Get it yourself!" I almost got into a laughing fit and told him I have the feeling we were not going to win a war with guys like that, lol. The captain said the soldiers couldn't give a bleep what orders he gave them. They didn't want to be there and taking orders was out of the question. They didn't care if they got punished or not. We don't have military service like that anymore. Gee, wonder why, lol.

If you watch closely you can see where Andre got his inspiration. Stan Laurel: if he saw this he would be proud. I ll say this: if Andre was born in the US he would have been world famous. Not only a very funny guy, but also the kind of person that unites people. 75 years old now and still going strong, though he does do other things now like hosting shows and acting in some serious roles. But know this: if you search on Andre van Duin, be ready for a treasure of material for this guy has been a comedian for over 50 years!

It was even funnier for the audience then then it is to us Dutchies now. All the man in the audience have been in the military, because of the conscription we had then, and all of them had a Captain like that.
