You make it sound like Dutch people go out of their way to insult people but that isn't true at all. It's more about being clear and to the point when communicating with people.
Hi Greg, Please do not mistake Dutch 'directness' with a flat out lack of kindness (saying to a bold man he looks like he's having cancer is not polite or funny, not even in the Netherlands). Some Dutch may have the latter - a lot, I have to admit - but when Dutch are direct, they say to your face what they actually think of you or a situation, without the intent of spoiling the relationship. Then they'll say something like: "How nice of you to say so, but I'm afraid I have to disagree with you on point X and Y," after which they'll explain why they disagree. Or: "I see you did your best to look fashionable today, but I'm afraid you missed it completely, because...." Dutch - when being direct and trying to be polite, almost always begin with an insincere compliment, followed by a big BUT..... Dutch are probably the inventors of the word "but," as they use it in almost every sentence. Just listen to them and you'll notice. I'm pretty sure that Mark Rutte said to Trump: "You have a healthy looking tan on your complexion mr. Preseident, but did you know that too much UV is causing skin cancer?" (And he probably thought to himself: "and impaired intelligence, bad taste and bad temper as well..." ) But that would have been too direct, even a Dutchman sees that. ;)
This is not Dutch. Frisian and North German is most direct, but only if really needed. Danish. Limburg and Brabant leans more to the polite side. Hollandic adittude is in between. With Hollandic people adittude works, add a small adittude to how you talk and lots of doors open. Just be why you are and you will see doors close and no one is gonna tell you why. Then where is the directness? No one is direct - its a myth. But yes most of all the English know things are more direct here then at home. At times even rude. The last things depends on where you go.
Songs & ... There you go. Oh, one last thing typically Dutch: Not so nice raping the English language, I would suggest a dictionary when writing in English.
People are missing my main point. There are several native cultures in The NL's. But on TV there is only one. So people who share that culture think like "He, that's us". But in reality this is not the case, and yes, The Netherlands indeed is the NetherlandS. This stereotype gets associated with the entire nation in many places, but its wrong. Hollandic people are rude, not Dutch people.
O btw Rutte is not rude, well, not in public. He was not rude to Trump but Trump is not used to this. One can see this. He wants something from Rutte. The current American elite has a plan. Trump wants to keep the US rich but also get rit of the trade deficit. He needs help for this. But has no idea how to get this. This where there is a way: help yourselves. If people pay more tax, a nation can build better infrastructure and also, people will spend less and therefor import less. This tax can be used to spend inside once own economy. But how to stop American voters from digging their own graves? (American voters will never go for this). They should build better roads and so by paying more tax, better roads gets more income also. But well one can also let people pay no tax - they will buy Porches without spending money on roads where one can use them. Maybe first build the roads and then see how much money is left.
It's so typical, people mixing up Denmark/Danish and the Netherlands/Dutch. I know both countries are very similar, but please, if you're writing an article about it, at least use a few seconds on Google.
The criminal and convicted Google spreaking fake news and manipulation data and were fined 2.4 billion USD by the EU court? ua-cam.com/video/SZ4RX5PsnFM/v-deo.html @marieke, please explain how burning politicians ice skate to work without melting the ice? ;-) Yup he probably used Google too ...
Jelmer Joekema I'd say all Germanic countries share similar characteristics in both language, culture, history, geography etc., and the average American may not always be able to tell the difference. Furthermore, the words "Dutch", "Deutsch" and "Danish" are often confused with each other... It's a common mistake, but a bit embarrassing if you ask me.
Rutte isn't the PM of the kingdom of the netherlands, he's PM of the netherlands. The kingdom of the netherlands has four PMs. He is however the chairman of the council of ministers of the kingdom of the netherlands.
Correct and hardly anyone knows this. De facto he is the prime-minister of entire Kingdom. That body with 4 PM's has nothing to say about the army or so. It's a construction for keeping the 3 other nations outside the EU. And has some other objectives.
He is not prime-minister of the entire kingdom. He is not a minister in any of the other's cabinets. The other 3 PM's have nothing to say about our military because it is not their military. Rutte also has nothing to say directly about national policy in any of the other 3 countries.
Sublime, de facto all power is in The Hague. In theory there are 4 nations, in reality The Hague always jumps in if the 3 in the Carribean screw up - again. But in The Hague things have never been made really democratic. This means also the Dutch citizens in Europe and on BES get screwed. BES has voting rights, but these other 3 can't even vote for the "tweede kamer" or senate. There are lousy excuses for this but not one single valid reason. Its neo colonial in with one very sleazy central element.
Believe me once you travel around the world for work, you will realise we are that direct to other people ;) his examples are purpose exaggerations ofcourse.
Massimo O'Kissed Bonaire is a part of The Netherlands, like Saba and St.Eustatius. The Netherlands, Curaçao, Aruba and St.Maarten are the 4 countries in The Kingdom of The Netherlands and all 4 have their own prime-minister.
Massimo O'Kissed Bonaire is an island and a special municipality, because it's outside of the EU and it's a municipality directly under _het Rijk_ instead of being part of a province.
Bing De Ridder I’m dutch too. Dutch are very, very lomp. Don't run around the bush. You know it's true. You are a lomperik. A boer, and maybe even a verkeershufter! Who knows? Don't get me wrong here. This is not meant to be an anti dutch rant. It's just the truth. The sky is blue, grass is green and the dutch are lomp. Not as lomp as some other folks out there, but still.
Hè dont get mad at the teller, get mad at your fellow Dutch people, like me LOL its true. The Dutch are rude lomp etc. Not all ofcourse, but many are lomp indeed. I AM not BTW. Haha i AM Dutch and super cute. And Sweet. Groetjes
The internet can also have some fun with headlines like : "Lubach's Trump video voiceover Greg Shapiro delivers 10 less jokes than video title promises"
I live in the Netherlands and we are quite direct people, its funny that in other contries we would be seen as (for example) arrogant, but we still have manners.
What about the other 1000 words Americans took over since New Amsterdam lol. All went wrong the time we sold New York to the UK... England is not even half as rich as the Netherlands at the moment, glad Donald will support them mwhahaha... He can not even support his own country lol...
Either Trump just learned the Netherlands is a kingdom and the little man is so proud of what he just learned he had to show it off to try and look smart. Or he loves monarchies cause he wants to be a king...look at his nauseating apartment.....so he thinks if he can suck up to a monarch and can be seen with one its almost like he is one.
Token Black I know he isn't the king I am Dutch. And even if I wasn't he just got introduced as PM. But with the UK he wanted to not only meet the queen but sit in a carriage with her (so basically get treated like a royal himself). Trump has a thing for power...dictators or monarchs. He thinks it rubs off or something. And its a bit pathetic.
Maaike R Whatever, leftie. Trump is great and Rutte is smart to do business with him. You seem thoroughly blue pilled by the NOS, BBC, CNN and other marxist anti Trump propaganda blow horns. But that's your problem. In your comment you assume Trump is stupid. That is because you have been brain washed into thinking that. But i guess that you, like millions of other Dutch commies, would rather have seen that fraud Hillary the Horrible as president. Not because she is smart, but because she is a woman. Can you imagine voting for somebody because they have a vagina? You can, without a shred of doubt.
A. Q. So all media of every country is anti Trump propaganda? Ever thought you are the one listening to propaganda? If the entire world says something...ever thought everyone is right. Or are you also one of those flat earth morons?
Maaike R Yes, Maaike. All state run media is propaganda and has absolutely nothing to do with informing the public about reality. On the contrary. It is to keep people as dumb as possible. And the flat earth bs is a Psy Op to make Christians look silly. I don't understand how you cannot see that. Anyways, i am not your enemy and i all i want for people is to wake up. To the reality that humanity is being screwed on a global scale. By globalists.
I'm not surprised that this kind of humour comes from a country in which the majority seem to think that the Netherlands is the capital of Kopenhagen..
I moved to the Netherlands from Germany and felt the directness immediately. But the point is, some hide behind that directness to be rude. Don't mistake the two and you can also be direct back to them and say "that was very rude!"
+Atia Janssens Lass mich erklären... *A or Ta* sagt "Geil." Das ist ein Witz, weil auf Deutsch das 'cool' bedeutet, aber auf Holländisch heißt das nur "sexuell aufgeregt." (Ganz viele Holländer werden nervös und 'witzig' wenn die Deutscher 'geil' sagen. Und ganz viele Leute benutzen das Moment, wenn mann die Deutscher hört oder sieht, um das Wort "Geil' zu sagen.) Das zweite ist eine andere Witz, von irgendwelchem Komödie oder Internet oder..weißichauchnicht. Die hatten gesagt; 'Ben je geil of wil je een koekje?' 'Das heißt 'bist du sexuell aufgeregt oder möchtest du ein Kuchen?' Aber *vaen dryl* hat versucht originell zu sein und hat statt 'geil' nur 'nass' geschrieben. *A or Ta* hat das 'geil' schon benutzt. Nichts wichtiges also.
Rutte should have reminded Trump that he lives in New Amsterdam ;-) Actually, I was pleasantly surprised to see it's inscribed on the New York City Hall. 1:50 Love that PM Rutte laughed and told Trump NO! He did not give a shit, the Dutch are a very pragmatic people, perhaps that comes with being half underwater.
Oh yea, I work at an American multi-national in the Netherlands, and I used to work on the executive floor. Whenever I went to the toilet to take a nr 2. I'd hear countless people go in and out and not wash their hands.
Wilhelmus van Nassouwe ben ik, van Duitsen bloed, den vaderland getrouwe blijf ik tot in den dood. Een Prinse van Oranje ben ik, vrij, onverveerd, den Koning van Hispanje heb ik altijd geëerd.
What he says about dutch peolle is total bs. Yes we are more direct. But it is not that we would say that someone used to be fat. Amd also the other shit is bs. Really dissapointing that you try to give misinformation.
Baahaha... Imagine Mark Rutte saying "Joor fees is soo fet, en joor mous loeks laaik u bathool" To Trump's face... Hmmm... Rutte: "Joor fees is soo fet, en joor mous loeks laaik u bathool" Trump: "Say what now?" Rutte: "Meh, it loses something in the translation". I think it will mean an absolute majority for the VVD. "Win some, lose some", I guess...
This was actually more offensive than funny. I know about harsh American talkshows, roasts and the Correspondence Dinner, but this is just flat out insulting
Ninja Kitteh It's not snowflakes if it's harsh. Trust me, you can curse at me with anything except cancer... but only if you know me, because otherwise I wont know if you're being serious or not.
I'm an American who has lived in Holland for almost 20 years. Years ago I was in a bad accident and have a very deep, 3.5 inch scar across my face. Anyway, on the first day of my new job a coworker asked me "What happened?" I asked him what he was talking about, he said "The horrible scar on your face... how did it happen?" Yes, the Dutch are THE WORST at having ANY KIND of politeness or common sense filter. - Actually I was shocked that the Dutch Prime Minister said "No", as it is the hardest word for a Dutchman, or woman to say...(thankfully) !
Maybe it's because I'm dutch but I don't see how asking how you got a scar is rude. You rather have he pretended it wasn't there? If you don't want to talk about it just say so when asked. Dutch people like to get awkward things out of the way when meeting people.
You poor snowflake, did the horrible man say something you don't want to hear? Why don't you fuck off to where you came from if you can't live with our way of life. He was just asking what happened to your face, as is common politeness. If you are too stupid to understand this you don't belong here so feel free to leave asap.
Lmao I don’t know which Dutch people you hang out with but where I live in the Netherlands, that would not be tolerated. I have never heard anyone say anything that even sounded a bit like what you ‘quoted’.
Gotta say I enjoyed this. I'm also a bit worried at my fellow countrymen's tendency to "trigger" over one of your jokes. We seem to have lost our sense of humour a bit, lately.
As far as being supreme finger-waggers/judgemental there is evidence of this which all people encounter 2 to 3 times a day. And this is the msg that pops in the pin machines: "Geduld, AUB" (Patience please). The ATMs in the US say, usually "One Moment, Please" but the Dutch pin is telling you to have patience-to have good moral character. I'll wait cause I have to but I don't have to be patient about it.
Lots of my fellow Dutchicans in this comment section being butthurt, you have been warned. As for me, yes those examples of 'dutch directness' are true. How ya doin?
I see all these comments about how the Dutch would never be THAT rude, but it's false. They can be that rude. I actually heard the cancer patient comment a few times. And upon meeting a former classmate, the first thing he said was 'you got fuller', which is a sort of? polite way to say that someone gained weight. It's not so bad to deal with when you're used to it (in most cases), because it's mostly said in good humour. But when you're not used to it, it can be quite a shock.
i mean, if you take this videa as satire it's pretty good lol. I mean, would trump really be aware of the fact that dutch people generally wash their hands less? xD i mean it's correlatable and funny but probably not the case. I think it was so brief because rutte gabbed his arm with his other hand.
Dutch directness isn't that rude. At worst it's like playful ribbing that goes both ways. We may call someone a dick but joyfully as a way to tease and practically expect to get something shot back at us immediately after. And, well, only with people we're familiar with. Blunt, that we can be as well. If you want a rough example for comparison, look at Asterix's village. They fight, argue and brawl all the time but they stay friends and family (most of the time).
I certainly do not agree with all (shallow) "conclusions" & (total bs) "assumptions" & (unbalanced) "assertions" but it IS hilarious funny nevertheless as I am Dutch myself!
haha, but on a serious note....The Netherlands is one of the richest countries (if I am not mistaken)..therefor, it should get its rightful place in the G7... Instead of Russia, for example....Russia is only there for political reasons, I feel
I wouldn;t be suprised if you was part of the writing staff here. Maybe you should look up what Shapiro has done in the past. He's actually quite successful. He's one of the people behind Boom Chicago. I used to think it was just a club, but f.e. Joe Rogan has mentioned it as well.
I used to be. Now I call the country nazi holland. Left in the 70's and shocked how nazi like it has become. Then being under the control of Merkel, it is only natural.
"Responding negative" => Greg only does it during comedy time (I think). But fast death is better then hearing people think "'idiot". It's not Dutch to be negative, people in Limburg are not like that all to much at all. If Trump wants to speak his mind without being interrupted he has to look at the camera. Rutte is a sleaze but he did right here. Video has been added to "'Dutch News". ua-cam.com/play/PLT78pk_arPpB9nPKzhlKqBJ7a5EEXwhrv.html Thanks to NYT for not knowing this nation, the best global leaders are those no one knows. EU 27 rules so we need to change it from the inside. US can be as smart or as stupid as they please, they at least didnt elect HRC and the rest will have to wait for 2020. Dump Trump. (Only asking). He doesn't really hurt us. EU is the new leader of the free world now and maybe that's best. A leader without an army =>awesome! But this is not good for US.
Well with his last lie he had te whole chamber against him, even Marijnisse,didn't see it, i guess.???And right wing party????.Whaa your a clown man.The VVD suppose to be right wing. So who calls him that?They make jokes about him on the radio you tool!!
Here is my Dutch directness,Ach ga toch door,ze weten gewoon niet hoe ze um moeten luppe,en de meerderheid van het volk is hem zo i zo al zat met z'n gelieg en gedraai,en partijen uitsluiten en zo,beetje fraude in het partijtje hier en daar,ook niet vies van een beetje gerotzooi met stemmen.En nu gaan ze met Thierry Baudet beginnen.Het word een keer tijd dat daar iemand staat for the Netherlands! and not for the EU.En als ze Geert Wilders dan net als Pim Fortuyn, niet volledig kapot kunnen demoniseren!,hoop ik dat Thierry Baudet de volgende President is die daar staat.Ik hoop dat President Donald J Trump hem heb kunnen leren, hoe je voor én na de verkiezingen hetzelfde zegt,en daar ook naar handelt!!
Benalmadena5 - Dat is een heel bijzonder standpunt dat je inneemt t.o.v. Rutte vs. Baudet / Trump, want voor elke leugen van Rutte vertel ik er twee van Trump.
I heard that Trump can't wait to visit the Netherlands after hearing about Ponypark Slagharen.
Bambu Fan which, sadly, doesn't have any ponys if I'm not mistaken
Koen Prud'homme van Reine It doesn't matter, Trump has no idea what ponies are.
Bambu Fan he'll find out soon
Koen Prud'homme van Reine Nope no ponies, there is still a ponypark but it’s a separate park now.
Emiel V He won't. Trade war = no more Harleys for us, no more ponies for Trump.
You make it sound like Dutch people go out of their way to insult people but that isn't true at all. It's more about being clear and to the point when communicating with people.
To be quite honest... I do
@@valerierodger7700 Americans like BS that makes them feel good. That's why the Dutch would come off as very direct.
Exactly, fellow space marine!
As a Dutchman myself, I can confirm.

SeanP7195 i saw what you did there
Kan maar duidelijk zijn, toch💪
Hahhaha I'm form the Netherlands and we're not that direct. The examples you gave were just rude xD
True, zeker weten, wel gelachen om dit filmpje overigens. Greetz, groetjes
Believe me once you travel around the world for work, you will realise we are that direct to other people ;) his examples are purpose exaggerations ofcourse.
carpediem we are stupid fuck
carpediem hij heeft wel gelijk.
Upper half of Holland is that direct. Lower half is sneaky and around your back.
Lol what Dutch people are you hanging out with
With the fun ones.
Prc dat
Well, most foreigners seem to think the Netherlands and Amsterdam are basically synonymous, so my guess is Amsterdammers. :D
Rutte is not even prime minister of the kingdom as the kingdom also includes Aruba, Curaçao and Sint-Maarten.
Its the kingdom of the netherlands
Are you missing Bonaire ?
Massimo O'Kissed Bonaire is a part of The Netherlands, like Saba and St.Eustatius. The Netherlands, Curaçao, Aruba and St.Maarten are the 4 countries in The Kingdom of The Netherlands and all 4 have their own prime-minister.

Dude, im dutch and you are telling things about the Netherlands that are totally fake
niet gezien wat bedoel je dan?
A butthurt Dutch over here. Dude that is how people sees the Dutch outside the Netherlands.
Bing De Ridder
I’m dutch too. Dutch are very, very lomp.
Don't run around the bush. You know it's true. You are a lomperik.

Direct is not the same as rude. The examples he gave are just very rude, also in the Netherlands.
Damn mark rutte has that broken dutch english accent
I am the best hand washer you have ever met sir, i don't apreciate this judgement.
I love how proud the president looks when he remembers that the Netherlands is a Kingdom
Trump was making a joke when he said the Netherland was a kingdom?
I was simply asking if that is what you meant, but it seems you just want to troll or something. So good luck with that.
😂
3:20
You think trump can calculate the difference between those two numbers of jobs? That's almost the best joke of the video
The internet can also have some fun with headlines like : "Lubach's Trump video voiceover Greg Shapiro delivers 10 less jokes than video title promises"
Triggering numerous grammar nazis into commenting that it should say "fewer jokes". Grrr! ;-)
The Dutch king going for import brides made me laugh harder than I should have... 🤣
Yeah, he's kinda back isn't he...
Dutch people are real So deal with that if you can't stand the truth or heat. we tell in your face....so you know. That's all folks
I live in the Netherlands and we are quite direct people, its funny that in other contries we would be seen as (for example) arrogant, but we still have manners.
indeed: we have manners, donnie could learn a lot, although i fear he is too dumb
This is funny, keep it up and good luck on the views.
Did mark just say kwart instead of quarter
Sure sounded that way.
Kwart is dutch for quarter
What about the other 1000 words Americans took over since New Amsterdam lol. All went wrong the time we sold New York to the UK... England is not even half as rich as the Netherlands at the moment, glad Donald will support them mwhahaha... He can not even support his own country lol...
+Pancake
It sjur saundut lijk it.
2:56 - 3:05 you even got the Dutch accent right :D
I'd really like to know how retarded our accent sounds to to native english speakers XD
folkmarcmetal Not just native English speakers, to everyone, even ourselves.
Echt he
Ja man deze man doet zijn huiswerk
hij is nederlands-amerikaans
Loved the handshake.
First visitor of the White House not taking it... (the wrestling match)
Marky Mark made a gud move by holding DJT's elbow.
I'm pretty sure I've seen others do that too, actually. Like Trudeau.
I never noticed dutch people are very direct and I am from the Netherlands! I think it kinda depends on where you live
I think it depends on what you're used to.
"Send me a pony" lol great stuff as usual Greg :D
I love how good your dutch english accent is!
Either Trump just learned the Netherlands is a kingdom and the little man is so proud of what he just learned he had to show it off to try and look smart. Or he loves monarchies cause he wants to be a king...look at his nauseating apartment.....so he thinks if he can suck up to a monarch and can be seen with one its almost like he is one.
Maaike R Mark Rutte is not a Monarch, so meeting with one?
Token Black I know he isn't the king I am Dutch. And even if I wasn't he just got introduced as PM. But with the UK he wanted to not only meet the queen but sit in a carriage with her (so basically get treated like a royal himself). Trump has a thing for power...dictators or monarchs. He thinks it rubs off or something. And its a bit pathetic.
Maaike R
Whatever, leftie.
Trump is great and Rutte is smart to do business with him.
You seem thoroughly blue pilled by the NOS, BBC, CNN and other marxist anti Trump propaganda blow horns.
But that's your problem.
In your comment you assume Trump is stupid. That is because you have been brain washed into thinking that.
But i guess that you, like millions of other Dutch commies, would rather have seen that fraud Hillary the Horrible as president. Not because she is smart, but because she is a woman. Can you imagine voting for somebody because they have a vagina? You can, without a shred of doubt.
A. Q. So all media of every country is anti Trump propaganda? Ever thought you are the one listening to propaganda? If the entire world says something...ever thought everyone is right. Or are you also one of those flat earth morons?
Maaike R
Yes, Maaike. All state run media is propaganda and has absolutely nothing to do with informing the public about reality.
On the contrary. It is to keep people as dumb as possible.
And the flat earth bs is a Psy Op to make Christians look silly. I don't understand how you cannot see that.
Anyways, i am not your enemy and i all i want for people is to wake up. To the reality that humanity is being screwed on a global scale. By globalists.
Trump meeting the PM of the Netherlands is like the band meeting the kid with cancer backstage.
I'm not surprised that this kind of humour comes from a country in which the majority seem to think that the Netherlands is the capital of Kopenhagen..
Reading all these comments one thing becomes clear: the Dutch invented vierkante-millimeter-ouwehoeren
You should have labeled the jokes with bells because nobody can find them.
That was hilarious. .thanks for making me laugh just before going to bed.
Its treu the Dutch are down to earth and direct. But usually only to close friends and family.
Atleast were not fake nice.
I moved to the Netherlands from Germany and felt the directness immediately. But the point is, some hide behind that directness to be rude. Don't mistake the two and you can also be direct back to them and say "that was very rude!"
Geil ;)
ben je nat of wil je een koekje?
wat?
+Atia Janssens
Lass mich erklären... *A or Ta* sagt "Geil."
Das ist ein Witz, weil auf Deutsch das 'cool' bedeutet, aber auf Holländisch heißt das nur "sexuell aufgeregt." (Ganz viele Holländer werden nervös und 'witzig' wenn die Deutscher 'geil' sagen. Und ganz viele Leute benutzen das Moment, wenn mann die Deutscher hört oder sieht, um das Wort "Geil' zu sagen.)
Das zweite ist eine andere Witz, von irgendwelchem Komödie oder Internet oder..weißichauchnicht. Die hatten gesagt; 'Ben je geil of wil je een koekje?'
'Das heißt 'bist du sexuell aufgeregt oder möchtest du ein Kuchen?'
Aber *vaen dryl* hat versucht originell zu sein und hat statt 'geil' nur 'nass' geschrieben. *A or Ta* hat das 'geil' schon benutzt.
Nichts wichtiges also.
'and send me a pony' - should be:
'and grab me a pony'
cheers :D
Rutte should have reminded Trump that he lives in New Amsterdam ;-)
Actually, I was pleasantly surprised to see it's inscribed on the New York City Hall.
1:50 Love that PM Rutte laughed and told Trump NO! He did not give a shit, the Dutch are a very pragmatic people, perhaps that comes with being half underwater.
Dutch anthem plays: *WILHELMUS VAN NASSAUE BEN IK VAN DUITSE BLOED*
Oh yea, I work at an American multi-national in the Netherlands, and I used to work on the executive floor. Whenever I went to the toilet to take a nr 2. I'd hear countless people go in and out and not wash their hands.
Wilhelmus van Nassouwe
ben ik, van Duitsen bloed,
den vaderland getrouwe
blijf ik tot in den dood.
Een Prinse van Oranje
ben ik, vrij, onverveerd,
den Koning van Hispanje
heb ik altijd geëerd.
Nu de rest nog.
Dat kan ik niet eens onthouden
I am Dutch. And I laughed so hard because everything is true about us
What he says about dutch peolle is total bs. Yes we are more direct. But it is not that we would say that someone used to be fat. Amd also the other shit is bs. Really dissapointing that you try to give misinformation.
Mike Litoris more direct - basically, more real. I find the Dutch will be honest rather than feeding BS to make you feel good.
Mike Litoris is not a Dutch name. Don't boast.
Great stuff as usual. Thanks!
Baahaha... Imagine Mark Rutte saying "Joor fees is soo fet, en joor mous loeks laaik u bathool" To Trump's face...
Hmmm...
Rutte: "Joor fees is soo fet, en joor mous loeks laaik u bathool"
Trump: "Say what now?"
Rutte: "Meh, it loses something in the translation".
I think it will mean an absolute majority for the VVD. "Win some, lose some", I guess...
This is where being bilingual (EN/NL) comes in really handy! Van 'bathool' moest ik echt lachen. 😁
Never heard about Dutch directness but after your examples i completely understand 😂 (Dutch btw)
This was actually more offensive than funny. I know about harsh American talkshows, roasts and the Correspondence Dinner, but this is just flat out insulting
Kevin Spee We Dutch used to be known for being able to take it, though. We're turning into bloody snowflakes...
Ninja Kitteh
It's not snowflakes if it's harsh. Trust me, you can curse at me with anything except cancer... but only if you know me, because otherwise I wont know if you're being serious or not.
Right, rules are made to be disobeyed! LOL!
😂😂😂😂😂
So fantastic
Hey, at least we go straight to the point. If anyone disagrees we will have a problem though.
Trump likes Kingdoms because he thinks it's all Game of Thronesy there.
... oh, so that's why he is obsessed with walls!
It's smexy time.
your dutch accent is excellent lol
American living in the Netherlands. Well integrated.
I'm an American who has lived in Holland for almost 20 years. Years ago I was in a bad accident and have a very deep, 3.5 inch scar across my face. Anyway, on the first day of my new job a coworker asked me "What happened?" I asked him what he was talking about, he said "The horrible scar on your face... how did it happen?" Yes, the Dutch are THE WORST at having ANY KIND of politeness or common sense filter. - Actually I was shocked that the Dutch Prime Minister said "No", as it is the hardest word for a Dutchman, or woman to say...(thankfully) !
Rutte did a great job, he halted in that meeting with Trump the USA/EU trade war. See my comment from 7 July
Maybe it's because I'm dutch but I don't see how asking how you got a scar is rude. You rather have he pretended it wasn't there? If you don't want to talk about it just say so when asked. Dutch people like to get awkward things out of the way when meeting people.
You poor snowflake, did the horrible man say something you don't want to hear? Why don't you fuck off to where you came from if you can't live with our way of life. He was just asking what happened to your face, as is common politeness. If you are too stupid to understand this you don't belong here so feel free to leave asap.
I don't see a problem with that directness and a bit of awkward humour. But then again, I'm from Poland.
Lol to funny love it Netherlands sending love from Canada
Right, most people here are like "I dont feel like it"
In the Netherlands we swear with cancer for fun
Mijn god ik lach me hier stuk
😂😂
Bro, I’m Dutch and this guy is right!
You get it.
Rutte is actually a hug fan of Norwegian Black Metal.
Lmao I don’t know which Dutch people you hang out with but where I live in the Netherlands, that would not be tolerated. I have never heard anyone say anything that even sounded a bit like what you ‘quoted’.
Gotta say I enjoyed this. I'm also a bit worried at my fellow countrymen's tendency to "trigger" over one of your jokes. We seem to have lost our sense of humour a bit, lately.
As far as being supreme finger-waggers/judgemental there is evidence of this which all people encounter 2 to 3 times a day. And this is the msg that pops in the pin machines: "Geduld, AUB" (Patience please). The ATMs in the US say, usually "One Moment, Please" but the Dutch pin is telling you to have patience-to have good moral character. I'll wait cause I have to but I don't have to be patient about it.
UK cash machines say "One moment, please" but, if US software is anything to go by, I'm guessing their machines just say "Wait...". ;-)
2:48 i live in the Nederlands my whole life and i have never heard that
Lots of my fellow Dutchicans in this comment section being butthurt, you have been warned.
As for me, yes those examples of 'dutch directness' are true.
How ya doin?
I see all these comments about how the Dutch would never be THAT rude, but it's false. They can be that rude. I actually heard the cancer patient comment a few times. And upon meeting a former classmate, the first thing he said was 'you got fuller', which is a sort of? polite way to say that someone gained weight.
It's not so bad to deal with when you're used to it (in most cases), because it's mostly said in good humour. But when you're not used to it, it can be quite a shock.
This was hilarious
Times were simpler then.
Can you friggin believe it?
Handshakes. Those were the days...
brown cleaners and black coffee 0:34
i mean, if you take this videa as satire it's pretty good lol. I mean, would trump really be aware of the fact that dutch people generally wash their hands less? xD i mean it's correlatable and funny but probably not the case. I think it was so brief because rutte gabbed his arm with his other hand.
He knows Holland because the leader of the NWO lives here. 🔱
The obervation about the but hole similarity is actually true. Should be mentioned more often.
Thanks... i gues...
O MY GOD trump neet to meet the dutch version of him ahha Iam such
Dutch directness isn't that rude. At worst it's like playful ribbing that goes both ways.
We may call someone a dick but joyfully as a way to tease and practically expect to get something shot back at us immediately after. And, well, only with people we're familiar with.
Blunt, that we can be as well.
If you want a rough example for comparison, look at Asterix's village. They fight, argue and brawl all the time but they stay friends and family (most of the time).
Yeah I'm dutch AND from the Netherlands and i live there, even speak some of the language.
So fucking what!!
I certainly do not agree with all (shallow) "conclusions" & (total bs) "assumptions" & (unbalanced) "assertions" but it IS hilarious funny nevertheless as I am Dutch myself!
Did Trump grow new hair?
1:50 a manicure contest?!
haha, but on a serious note....The Netherlands is one of the richest countries (if I am not mistaken)..therefor, it should get its rightful place in the G7... Instead of Russia, for example....Russia is only there for political reasons, I feel
2:45 who told him that? God damn it xD
Ahahahahahaha the directness of dutch diplomacy is famous! but ,when you ask something,you have an answer,not as us in france..
2:45 wanne hear some quotes i have heard from americans
Yes
That moment when you want to get them views like Arjen Lubach, but fail...
He actually did get the views like Arjen Lubach. It being his voice and such.
I know, but the video was made and scipted by the Lubach team. He only spoke.
I wouldn;t be suprised if you was part of the writing staff here. Maybe you should look up what Shapiro has done in the past. He's actually quite successful. He's one of the people behind Boom Chicago. I used to think it was just a club, but f.e. Joe Rogan has mentioned it as well.
Some bold and untrue renarks on the culture of The Netherlands.
Mark: mhm haha NO
Mark Rutte gonna go jojo mode
😉 Wow, by interpreting Rutte's NO as 'disrespectful' you completely missed the momentum
Rutte did a great job, he halted in that meeting with Trump the USA/EU trade war. See my comment from 7 July
His head is not fat. Its orange
😂 100 Points for still not nothing the diference between the Netherlands (Dutch), and Germany (German)
Boy do i love being dutch
I used to be. Now I call the country nazi holland. Left in the 70's and shocked how nazi like it has become. Then being under the control of Merkel, it is only natural.
@@prutwekker2193
Wel we invited islam.
Thats a fascist nazi cult.
There are no ponies in Pornopark Schaamharen. If he wants one, he'd better ask Hasbro.
Brooooo you srs😂
Isaak Wat doet Bing Translator toch raar. Even mijn Microsnot Windhoos laptop herstarten.
Or go to the Befteling in Ketsheuvel.
0:59 so proud to be Dutch right now
"Responding negative" => Greg only does it during comedy time (I think). But fast death is better then hearing people think "'idiot". It's not Dutch to be negative, people in Limburg are not like that all to much at all. If Trump wants to speak his mind without being interrupted he has to look at the camera. Rutte is a sleaze but he did right here. Video has been added to "'Dutch News". ua-cam.com/play/PLT78pk_arPpB9nPKzhlKqBJ7a5EEXwhrv.html Thanks to NYT for not knowing this nation, the best global leaders are those no one knows. EU 27 rules so we need to change it from the inside. US can be as smart or as stupid as they please, they at least didnt elect HRC and the rest will have to wait for 2020. Dump Trump. (Only asking). He doesn't really hurt us. EU is the new leader of the free world now and maybe that's best. A leader without an army =>awesome! But this is not good for US.
Had a great laugh about how you see us Dutch people.
“You look like a cancer patient”
outstanding 😻
The PM resembles Colbert I think.
True dat!
10 jokes? Isn't there only one?
Ake Hilding dumb American humor.
I've heard about Dutch directness before. But nowadays that's nearly impossible, with all the SJW's that get triggered by everything.
O gjee is his name Mark?We call him Pinokkio.
Only your right wing party calls him that..
Well with his last lie he had te whole chamber against him, even Marijnisse,didn't see it, i guess.???And right wing party????.Whaa your a clown man.The VVD suppose to be right wing. So who calls him that?They make jokes about him on the radio you tool!!
Benalmadena5 de meerderheid van de kamer is voor hem, anders zat hij er niet
Here is my Dutch directness,Ach ga toch door,ze weten gewoon niet hoe ze um moeten luppe,en de meerderheid van het volk is hem zo i zo al zat met z'n gelieg en gedraai,en partijen uitsluiten en zo,beetje fraude in het partijtje hier en daar,ook niet vies van een beetje gerotzooi met stemmen.En nu gaan ze met Thierry Baudet beginnen.Het word een keer tijd dat daar iemand staat for the Netherlands! and not for the EU.En als ze Geert Wilders dan net als Pim Fortuyn, niet volledig kapot kunnen demoniseren!,hoop ik dat Thierry Baudet de volgende President is die daar staat.Ik hoop dat President Donald J Trump hem heb kunnen leren, hoe je voor én na de verkiezingen hetzelfde zegt,en daar ook naar handelt!!
Benalmadena5 - Dat is een heel bijzonder standpunt dat je inneemt t.o.v. Rutte vs. Baudet / Trump, want voor elke leugen van Rutte vertel ik er twee van Trump.
*THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE*
SO FUCKING TRUTH WHAT'S THIS GUY IS SAYING!!!! ABOUT THE NETHERLANDS HAAHHAHAHAH GREETINGS FROM THE NETHERLANDS EUROPE!!!
