American Reacts to Things Dutch people DON'T say. 

The thing about the roads isn't making fun of the Belgians, though! The roads actually noticeably change the moment you cross the border.

A bit over the top and mostly city based. 1: we don't like show-offs. 2: a bike is not considered a hazardous fast moving vehicle. 3: we are not health addicts. 4: we have no secrets. 5: yeah you got that. 6: that is actually wrong, city folk often don't even know who lives next door but out in the country people often don't even lock their doors and it is quite common to barge just in and if there isn't anyone in sight shout out to make your presence known. 7&8: no comment needed. 9&10: marriage is a concept that is connected to religion which kind of lost its place in modern Dutch society. There are still people clinging on but most people consider going to a notary, which is still required if you want marital terms, sufficient. 11: we dislike authority. 12: uhm no, but it is correct that we will come to your door instead of calling the police first.

The marriage thing isn't purely that you can become partners without it or that it's cheaper. It's just that many Dutchies find that how serious their relationships are doesn't depend on whether you're married or just boy- and girlfriend. I know a lot of people who still are boy- and girlfriend but act and live like married people.

The "I wanna be that guy" part in the beginning was not about car people vs bicycle people. Everybody in the Netherlands is a cyclist. It was about our Calvinistic influences and frugal way of living: Dutch people generally don't like it when people are showing off. Buying a Lamborghini is often seen as being a show-off and a waste of money, as a much cheaper car does the same job better and more practical. Not only that, but the driver was also revving obnoxiously loud in the middle of the (otherwise pretty quiet) city as they wanted everybody in the area to pay attention to them. These people are generally considered insecure assholes and most people laugh at them. "Doe maar normaal, dan doe je al gek genoeg"

Funny to read that a lot of Dutchies reacting seriously. This video is totally based on sarcasm. A lot of Dutch humor is sarcastic. I like it, it's really funny. 😄

I did that once. Asked my neighbour to turn the music up. They gave great taste in music. And then stayed for the bbq. Freee foood!

I don't feel really connected to this video. Where i am from, everybody comes over continuously. The only thing my mum wanted to know, is half an hour to an hour before dinner if someone or more were going to join, so she could at least cut extra potatoes! It seems to be a difference between city folk and village people😘 Plus bringing your own lunch to work (salads, pastas) is standardised in all bigger companies, but you won't see this at your local timber shop. Some people in the Netherlands still live in 1970 or it is city culture versus village culture. Like with the traffic lights. People in cities all 'think they own the world' so they only use them as they see fit. Villagers will always respect the local customs and always have their eyes open for them. By the way, this seems the be an all human thing as these differences between yuppies and cowboys are happening all over the world.

in the last clip they usually bang on the wall, or come to the door pissed off 🤣

I love this because they don't even speak Dutch but English. Soooooo It's this is for tourists

the boterham kaas joke is that we never bring salad to work

The last one you will understand if you would live in a row house or an appartment building. At appartment buildings they will also poke the ceiling with a stick.

As soon as it gets dark, I always close my curtains, while I live on the second floor. I just don’t feel comfortable with the curtains open and the lights on. I am the exception here.

Relationship… Dutch people do not marry that easely.

Yeah, here in the Netherlands people will call the police when you got your music too loud eventhough it's not really loud. And indeed partnership is cheaper, but from what I know about relationships in the netherlands, we love to take it slow. Marrying after 1 year isn't taking it slow here.

It’s funny, looking at the comment section, although it’s all in English, you can clearly tell we are all Dutch just by looking at the spelling mistakes. Of course that would never stop us from giving our opinions….

our making fun of other countries gets a bit out of hand sometime. took up an international uni study in amsterdam and we had this mass groupchat. people got a bit too excited too make friends and starting posting dark humor memes, which is never a good thing cause some people misunderstand dark humor for being a jerk. but it got worse cause some did not get the memo that its an international study with likely plenty of german attendees and started posting thomas the train ww2 references. needless to say ive been playing dr phil for the rest of the day, trying to explain the memers what "a time and a place" means and trying to convince the poor german souls that they didnt mean it.

I'm an Israeli and I watch your videos

Ameriksnen hebben ook toegang tot google translate. Ik vind jouw inzet om Nederlands te verstaan erg leuk.

The traffic light with bike,did me think of Germany. They always stop or other German will says so 🤣

Dutch would never say that because .. english is not their native language.

whit mariage its that they rather stay together as couple instead af getting maried cuss there is more risk involved and its expensive (you can do it cheap at the goverment building wich is apopulaire choise) Whit the turn up the sound its the joke that we have always problems whit noice because were a compact country so we all live whit small walls so you have to make less noise

3:15 ye i was really surprised the first time i tried to bike in belgium that their roads are so bad and not flat. my small minded brain did not figure out that other countries actually have mountains so they cant make all the roads strait. 3:30 true, not dutch, just anywhere haha 3:40 not sure eighter, i think just like everywhere in europe where people like to date longer(or fk around) before marriage than i.e. asia. 4:20 we are a bit more open minded and thus less religious, but theres still plenty of religion and churches 4:35 nah, people might indeed be more dominant and can handle less authority. but bosses are just as strict and likely to remove people that dont respect workspace authority, so they dont get away with that attitude here eighter. 5:10 the walls are often just not thicc enough. so people that enjoy peace or silent book reading or going to bed early get extremly hindered by people that enjoy loud music and staying up late. imo if someone wants to sleep that should have priority over someone that wants to have fun. but sadly many, especially young adults, have zero respect for their neighbour's needs and happily host party's whenever forcing their neighbours to stay up late whenever. and their poor neighbours cant do shit about it, its messed up.

A lot of sarcasme. We swear if the music is to loud. We always give feedback to our boss.

Oh we Belgians don't mind those jokes too much, we know they only tell them cause they're cheap :D

owwww the neighbour and loud music one is sooooo not Dutch. First the mama's of mothers start to complain at 6pm that there children needs sleep!! at 10pm EVERYONE in the apartment starts to complain.

Your hair looks great, did your blowdryer explode? ;)

0:00 Yes, but only Dutch watch your video

We Dutch get paid to prevent the boss from doing stupid stuff, which is about always... and we extend that gesture to foreign bosses too !

we say zet die pleuris herrie nou een keer uit

Anyone not Dutch? 👇

Nobody cares about the ‘little laws’? Have you been to germany? Do this, and make sure litlle kids and their parents see you

Strange video. I don't understand any of it. 😅

You can see us Dutch,as naughty Germans. We have so much in common,but we can,t wait and spend time for-noting. If we need to wait,make it logic.
