I work at the Heineken Experience in Amsterdam, am a big Heineken nerd and I know that the Heineken family personally asked us not to mention/talk about the kidnapping

[@samsaek666]

They personally asked you to talk about it?

[@kaykrystalkay]

@@samsaek666 to not op said

[@jezusbloodie]

Haha yeah and yet here you are, in fact talking about it. Not that that is bad, because the worth of the word and whishes from a family that made its money thru slave trading, are only worth so much

[@garrygarrygarry1]

I have a question, I went there recently, and I tried to get a bottle with c*nt on it, just because and the lady told me i couldnt have it... is that an actual rule or was it just the person working there that day?

If you don’t live in the Netherlands, the effects of this kidnapping are still felt. Also for some reason the escape of a gorilla was front page news for months. It’s a weird country.

amazing art style in all your vids, especially this one with the low res textures in the sharply rendered scenes.

These guys planned this out scarily well it was an extremely intelligent plan.

[@shadowwsk3507]

It is quite a shame they got caught

[@foxyfoxfilms]

Took me a long time to notice this channel (hoog), fern, simplicissimus, and two bored guys are all the same people. Well done, well done.

[@stuartgmk]

Oh I thought his voice was familiar.

[@foxyfoxfilms]

It was especially hard, because two of the channels are in German.

[@vinaduro]

You speak with an American accent, but pronounce the Dutch words perfectly, at least to my ears. It’s almost jarring, but in a good way. You have yourself a new subscriber.

[@kurt97kf]

A lot of dutch people speak english with american accents due to exposure to american media. This can be found across europe!

[@vinaduro]

@@kurt97kf Thanks, that's very interesting to know.

[@FLUFFYCAT_PNW]

Your channel is one of only a few that will get an automatic, immediate click upon seeing one in my feed. Great stuff. Thanks for making it.

[@tutifru-titi9954]

Weird choice to not mention who the tip was from, like mention everything but who could've been the one to bring them down? I don't mean the exact person of course but to just leave it like that is meh. The video as a whole and the style is just stellar though.

[@hoogyoutube]

Video could’ve been longer but it’s honestly just unclear. Nobody knows. Maybe someone that worked near them, maybe a family member, maybe just a friend.

[@tutifru-titi9954]

This looks so cool, I love how u used the ps2 animation, the atmosphere and the feeling were perfect!

[@ro-jayno-yay3185]

Total Pro production! The narrators voice the ENTIRE documentary can stand up or over any investigative news docs. The animations superb. Music perfect. Ending... Probably the best ending True Crime ive seen in years. Thank you HOOG. First documentary by you guys made me anxious like nothing else on KZbin. Blew me away. AND F the Nose. What a piece of garbage.. Wait they all were. HA!

You can have the most elaborate plan with all the possible contingencies, but in the end, it usually all falls apart because someone talked.

[@LanguageOdditorium]

Again a brilliant video, Hoog! Cheers! I reckon you get more than enough suggestions, but I for one would be really interested in seeing a video about the "Brabant Killers" (De Bende van Nijvel). Bedankt en we verheugen ons alvast op je volgende video!

[@parkametrist7165]

Good video, only slightly confusing to see the men wearing orange suits. That probably was done to indicate they went to jail, but in the Netherlands people in jail have never worn orange suits and since the 1980's prisoners wear their own clothes.

If this is the direction this channel is going in, it would be cool if you could cover the story of the Bende van Nijvel. Though, according to what i know, it's still a mystery who they actually were, so maybe it wouldn't make for a good story. I don't know what the process for these videos are :P
