All you have to do is put "Dutch" or "Netherlands" in the title and you just get half the country flowing in.

[@jpsholland]

That goes for every country. make something about the french en you will se a lot of french.

[@litchtheshinigami8936]

G E K O L O N I S E E R D!

[@BOSExperience]

Wow. I do have a lot a American friends but this guy is the first who knows that the Declaration of Independence is based on the Dutch 'Plakkaat der Verlatinghe'. This guy is educated!

[@joedutchnl3948]

I am Dutch and it is very very important to eat with your mouth closed! We really frowne up on it if you don't when you are in the Netherlands. I can't stress it enough it is important.

[@patricksimons560]

Gelukkig nieuwjaar! En laat die filmpjes over Nederland maar komen.

[@giocommentary]

3:00 a text takes a second and takes no thought. a card has to be bought and written before sending. its a way more personal way of saying 'Hey i remember! or hey i thought about you!''

[@josephmacias9678]

As an American who has a Dutch girlfriend I start to love the Netherlands and their culture and many people are so nice!

[@newjones1754]

We do not like that the Americans accept the nonsense and lies of each other. When our minister lied about being present at a conversation and it turned out that this was not the case, he was fired the same day. You can love Dutch culture but, know that we will speak what we think. It is a comedy show for a lot of people when it comes to the news of America

[@klaasdepaashaasmrhaas]

They all talk about "fufu"... I never ate "fufu"...

[@jeanmoulin8472]

And do not talk with food in your mouth like in the most American movies. Terrible.

[@roykliffen9674]

Wow .... rough times in the Netherlands I guess. Being confronted with a hand axe is not quite a regular occurrence in the Netherlands, not to say something almost unheard of. Hailstorms heavy enough to damage cars and often greenhouses as well are such a rarity it will usually make it national news and often make the front page of the press.

[@Pyltje03]

Stroop wafels are now entering the NBA teams. Awsome to see

[@youngmoss3983]

What i like about these videos as a dutch guy is the fact that even though both are western countries with a great civilization and similar population ( different cultures within a country) both countries have such a different culture its fun to get pointed out those differences

[@netu3493]

Ow hij denkt dat wij na elke maaltijd een toetje willen owwwe

[@Ozymandias1]

The founding history of the Netherlands and the US is quite similar. Both countries rebelled against a foreign king and became independent.

[@boratsagdiyev1586]

I'm left handed as well, even when eating i use the fork with my left hand and cut with the right hand. And you're right, we kind of encourage young kids to eat behaved like it should XD

[@MrCorvette1984]

Such a nice video about us. One thing I miss in the several videos I watched on How you folks look at us. We speak our languages. Most of the dutch people speak and write at least two foreign languages.

[@dps1689]

Jawohl!

[@bartobruintjes7056]

Haring is one of the best things you can eat for your health and it is delicious!

[@Joeperdepoep2000]

Dont forget to taste the "Frikandelbroodjes"

[@snoepnr1]

the fork thing is not a typical Dutch thing. It would only be an issue at a real formal diner, but not at most peoples homes ;-)

[@morikanteyekeyeke6147]

Great guy!

[@detijgerkat]

If you would ask me about the dessert: it's customary to have a dairy product like yoghurt, vla or a mix (vlaflip), sweet barley porridge or pudding, what helps to aleviate stomach acid, and/or fill you up to prepare for work. Confitures in the mix combat AfterDinerDip; Note to reader: Dessert stems from a tradition, in a time, hot meals were often prepared at noon

[@cheesypnut9827]

I am very happy you enjoyed your stay in Heerenveen, i live there so that was very nice to hear. Thank you!

[@StevenvanderGraaf]

I don’t know where you ended up meeting a guy with a hand axe but i guess this is the only dutch citizen that ever done this. 🤔

[@franswijnands4022]

I love it 😊😁

[@johanprx7985]

I am a Dutch guy living in Barcelona. Therefore I miss: Appelmoes, Frikandel, Kroket, poffertjes. Someone please bring me some!!!

[@jennyproost2282]

Sack of fries, that big is, over down. What the cards concerns. look at the cards of Jacquie Lawson look at those of her. She is not Dutch, but what a awesome ones. Go to Den Bosch it is an terrific town where you can go underneath it. wow

[@michaelhicks8614]

Thanks for the info. Amsterdam Is amazing withe the best food!

[@froggiebcg]

2:43 i think i actually saw this guy but i didn't think any of it until he mention he was in my hometown lmao

[@janrobertbos]

very, very true...........

[@ralfrufus6573]

I am not a native speaker, so please tell me somone what does he mean when he says: "Someone pulls a hand egg at you..." at minute 6:33

[@haicokuut]

I am Dutch and I have never heard the "switching of knife and fork" before. For the rest I think it is spot on.

[@antiek2631]

I grow up with if you dont eat ,we put the desert in youre food . And i ate it :)

[@cloggy010]

thanks mate fun! a cloggie😊

[@joankennes3230]

There is a definite difference between Dutch and Belgian cuisine. But we do both eat a lot of bread.

[@gba3746]

I am Dutch and I agree: Haring makes you throw op.

[@bananenbrood7386]

Ik wil best een toetje na de lunch en ontbijt hoor :)

[@marije4440]

Wat een toffe vent

[@jobhartgers1854]

Where did you serve in The Netherlands and Flanders.? I think you never made it to Nijmegen and Arnhem eh?

[@maxwest6204]

Hi Job, I think he was on "church" missions, not the military but I can be mistaken.

[@onedollarmeals5422]

his dutch is on point

[@synchyrl5946]

Funny thing is tho I live in the Netherlands so I laughed a lot cuz of ur accents but I also love America its the best country ever

[@reneedevos8946]

We do love our cards don't we

[@daanlindenholz305]

Het is patat

[@LucasDirkx]

I heard you talk about the similarity between your deceleration of independence and our constitution. Did you know that they are both written on the same paper. And I am Dutch, born and bred. But I always switch my knife and fork 😉😂😂😂

[@doctorgras8650]

I didn't know that people loved dutch food so much

[@gayanugnes3385]

what do you think about the dutch holdiday ‘sinterklaas’?

[@taunteratwill1787]

I hate "holdidays" ! :-))

[@hurtigheinz3790]

2:45min Isn't that a scene of a Mr.Bean episode? So the British do the same.

[@gardenjoy5223]

He looks like he has a lot of Dutch ancestors. He'd fit right in here. He even likes the food! Well, so do I, since it is basically from around the world. But an axe? And hail that destroys your car? That happened just once in the last century or so. The Netherlands are so much safer than the US. Even the weather.

[@daanhaagen]

G E K O L O N I S E E R D

[@snoek1474]

Pff.." I am Dutch right handed but always fork right knife left.

[@thitalo1239]

And the best part of this all is that Dutch people discovered and colonized New York!

[@carlhuyts1452]

pff, never mind of the fork, just behave and be yourself😀

[@francinevanzanten8368]

French fries in The Netherlands? No way, we eat the much thicker Belgium fries. You only get French fries at McDonalds... And it doesn't matter at all which hand you use, as long as you keep both knife and fork in your hands and don't shovel your food in. And in Belgium they are not more shy but less blunt and so not direct as the Dutch.

[@Osmone_Everony]

Many Americans don't even know the difference between Netherlands and Germany because they mess up Dutch and Deutsch. Jus' sayin'. :)

[@marijnklappe6460]

Ik AM dutch

[@exoticgirl1]

Wait....you don't like haring!! Dude, that's blasphemy! 🤣 Raw haring with raw onions. 😍😍

[@JJ-rc4sc]

Its called patat not friet ;) french fries are really thin these are much thicker belgium fries are even bigger

[@rosaliebosma]

I always eat with the fork in my right hand 😂

[@Bocajxab]

And who cares if you use your left hand, or switch from your right to your left during the meal?

[@sjoepa]

Me too, and nobody complains ;-P

[@XingFisher666]

Same, never got any comments about it.

[@frikandelkroket9335]

Frikandel is good.

[@thomaseelvelt907]

This guy actually has more of a Dutch accent when he's talking English?? Guess he's been here for a while, maybe even born here? edit: Oh never mind he said we in the Netherlands... But he also said now I'm back home from the Netherlands??

[@doctorgras8650]

There's just one thing with stampot: I HATE potato's

[@chelsykuiper1137]

Stroopwafels, drop , hagelslag, patatje oorlog miaaammm

[@sil5771]

lol picky about manners? nah

[@wdubbelo]

wat friet het is gewoon patat

[@bruntstone6497]

acutually, only dutch people watch to this :P

[@joeyvandebergh2269]

Thanks man, I am glad to hear this. The fact is that our left-wing media in the Netherlands allows us to look at our culture in a hateful way. self-hatred is getting worse in the Netherlands. People getting not reminded enough about the beauty of our great culture.

[@TheBontekraai]

wat een gave gast

[@walterderuiter3553]

Well im dutch and i rlly dont like haring so not everybody likes them😁😂

[@mopadrider6012]

Its weird that one of the word he realy pronauce well is stroop waffels for real there u sounding like a real dutchy

[@Ron-id1ze]

Hé means kouskous

[@denniskerstjens4145]

Aha voor alle nederlanders, zie je wel! Het zijn frieten geen pattatten

[@LeonKerkdijk]

Did he just pronounce 'stroopwafel' correctly? Many English speakers say 'stroepwaffel', which is cringe as f***!

[@jetbo9214]

Heel veel Nederlanders eten geen toetjes.

[@argai1978]

Heerenveen is not a city, it does not have 'stadsrechten'.

[@femmyfemke6390]

STROOPWAFELS

[@LeonKerkdijk]

'Patat' is the correct name for Dutch fries.

[@lienbijs1205]

Patat and friet both, depends on region. South is friet side😁

[@LukeLane1984]

In the south east (in Brabant and Limburg for example) most people call it "friet", the rest of the country calls it "patat". And it's eaten with mayonnaise, which is so much better than with ketchup.

[@spinjitzustudios780]

G E K O N O L I S E E R D

[@viggo7605]

Het is geen friet maar patat

[@carpediem4179]

Bro listen , i am born in holland but you are talking about real dutch but their is a lot more

[@Random_Gamer-sh6pf]

G E K O L O N IS E E R D

[@dakkapel3]

1:33 Oh no Fellow dutchies, please dont start another war about it being patat or friet-

[@retartit]

Broodje kanker is also very tasty and healthy

[@BramvS1]

1:33 patat* You don’t call it friet it’s called patat...

[@johnscanlan9335]

Let me be blunt: I completely and totally HATE hearing the Dutch language!!! It hurts my ears!

[@norasmith4939]

Haring is vies. Vreselijk

[@Christian-cy4bm]

Dutch culture? You mean what remains of our culture...

[@luxembourger]

Basicly the Dutch are Germans, but without the industry.
