love that Conan thinks that Sinterklaas is derived from Santa Clause when it's actually the other way around
Yup love that haha
Santa Clause and Sinterklaas have nothing in common. Santa Clause is a fabrication of Coca Cola. It is all about extra sales.
@@gwenwalravens8030 It seems even the so-called Coca Cola fabrication is better than the racist fabrication.
Funny how Dutch people think that Sinterklaas is OK and not racist
@@nolyd2307 funny how people think that its racist
The average American's knowledge of countries other than America: 0%
It also really worries me that she doesn't know anything about the Netherlands even though she's married to a Dutch guy.
+Sven Hista It worries me even more that she not only knows nothing about his husband's language and country, but she doesn't want her daughter to learn about it, too. "Ignorance loves the company of itself" sounds right.
+Sven Hista +1
What surprises/worries me most is that Conan, who is considered to be highly intelligent, is so ignorant and that he belittles foreign cultures.
+Sven Hista andrew7taylor Corry Helmond What's truly disturbing, is that you 3 imbeciles aren't even sophisticated enough to comprehend that this is an Outlined Skit, for people with a Sense of Humour. Elol.
+Corry Helmond
The Dutch have a sense of humour, so that's quite allright. - By the way: Helmond is a small city in the southern part of The Netherlands.
+Ted van Lieshout
I know - I'm Dutch ;P
I think we have a great sense of humour.
Dutch person doesnt live in Amsterdam.
Americans : wait whereee do you live then, is that even a real place?
Ik kom uit Zwolle en mijn Amerikaanse nicht zegt altijd tegen haar vrienden dat het dicht bij Amsterdam is
Ik woon in Eindhoven en iedere Amerikaan die ik ken denkt dat heel Nederland uit Amsterdam bestaat
Ik woon in België ( Antwerpen )
Norwegian here, been to Amsterdam four times, next time I'm going to Nederland I'm going to den haag, Utrecht, Haarlem and Rotterdam.
I'm now trying to learn dutch, as I fell in love with the language for some reason. And savoury pancakes, bitterballen and Croquettes.
Ik kom uit belgië
I'm Dutch and I never heard of the song that she is talking about
Edit: Thanks for all the likes, The Netherlands is the best!!

Santa Claus is a copy of Sinterklaas. Not the other way around. Sinterklaas is a 400 year old tradition, Santa Claus is just a Coca Cola advertisement.
Subject Beeetje overdreven, maar 'tis wel waar..

Shes like "Oh so you two know something i dont really care about...so
there will be none of that in my house, ecen though I dont care what it
is"....thats pretty messed up...specially taking into consideration the
dad is literally teaching the kid something new...I bet she also banend
mathematics on "her" house...
I really dislike her
Leeroy jenkins That's not what's happening. Those are fake things that other countries say, but it's total bullshit.
Otto Meijerhof Then tell me, obviously they are not really taken to Spain but they are told they will be. So it's not really fake is it mate? I did my research and it's known.
As a Dutch person, i've never heard of a walnut on a pillow tradition.
Sameee
Same here. Never heart of it.
En dat liedje dan? Welk kinderliedje isdat dan???
Nee ik ook niet. En dat kinderliedje ook niet. En dat accent dan.. (neither do I and the same goes for that song.. and this accent 🤣 sounds like a mixedup situation🙄😁
Me neither
'the Europeans' - It's not like it is one culture haha
well i guess that's hard for americans to imagine, since they have most of a continent and no culture at all. just leftover raped bits of european culture.
When Europe was made God decided to put a whole bunch of angry cats into one sac and that is the European creation story.
Donnie D If you’re american your ancestors were european. But why would you know that, it’s not like americans are smart
@@wasimeljerari5735 Yeah, thats what the Japanese said before they attacked Pearl Harbour. What Osama said before sending the planes into the twin towers and what Saddam said before he invaded Kuwait. Keep on dreaming, Americans might have a reputation for insularism but they are certainly not unintelligent, to be honest I wish they were more ignorant of the world, beacuse I just feel the world would be safer from them.
I mean the US is almost as big as the whole continent of Europe, so I think its funny when like someone from Britain lumps all Americans together. Some of our states are bigger than Europes countries, and each state can be wildly different from others.

Santa is santa, the Dutch have "extra party-time for Latka" which is called Sinterklaas.
This however is caused by this sort of woman, which gives false information.
Has got nothing to do with Santa or the US, but a bishop of Myra..and the rest is history....
And Belgium is known for its chocolates, and The Netherlands not so much for its Dams.
The sort of woman would not even let her child speak Dutch because she feels she is left out.
Why not ponder on that.
How is she so proud of not knowing the first thing about her husband's culture nor being able to speak his language? She's depriving her daughter of half her heritage and the chance of being bilingual because she doesn't want to feel left out and she's condecending about anything non-American. Great parenting...
true
The only semi-important thing might be bilingualism as it's healthy for the mind. But even then, most people I know who were raised bilingual don't even fully remember their second language anymore because they've never had o fully utilize it.
Cultural history is no pillar of great parenting, don't be so conceited.
Kevin Broker it really does not look like she was

Kevin Broker
Yeah, sure, because looking like a shallow arrogant bimbo is so funny.
Im starting to think her husband isnt even dutch....
She's most likely to dumb to even notice.... That, or just too ignorant or arrogant.

You're just too stupid
@@deputyvanhalen6386 Which is essentially German.
He was trying a Dutch accent, but it seems more like a Russian accent lol
Or am I wrong?
@Leander Herman same, het was echt heel raar. Die man moet echt z'n bek houden
Ik vond het juist behoorlijk Duits klinken. Maar Amerikanen die Nederlands proberen te praten klinkt altijd Duits. Behoorlijk irritant als je bijv een Engelse film zit te kijken en ze ‘Nederlanders’ in de film hebben die duidelijk niet Nederlands maar Duits oid zijn.
XD
sounds more like an American interpretation of swedish tbh
@Leander Herman al komt dat eigenlijk af van Duitsers. Niet Nederlanders
The only thing that saddens me is how little most americans know about europe, while most europeans know allot about america.
The largest issue being that there are over 50 countries in it. I imagine every one of those 50 does Christmas its own way.
While being British I imagine we are nearer to the US in how we celebrate than a lot of countries in the continent I still find it flaming ignorant.
No, the difference is that Americans know they know little about Europe while a lot of Europeans think they know a lot about America but don't. Most Europeans get their info about American culture through things like sitcoms and other series which are in a way more like parodies on American culture than representations of them.
Jasper de Groot
Yes but thats stressing my point. By America, I presume you mean USA is a country, Europe is a Continent. Spain and Portugal are imo more alike Brazil than it is England, Netherlands or Germany. Some of Turkey is even in Europe and thats a Muslim country so I imagine Christmas means nothing.
This is exactly what the Surinamese people said about the Dutch when they came here. The difference is that the knowledge the Dutch think they have about Americans is only true for a part. Especially since the culture between the US and Europe is changing rapidly.
It annoys even more is that they say and act like they know EVERYTHING about Europe while they don't know the tiniest bit about it
I´m Dutch but I never heard of that fucked up song.
BTW Sinterklaas has nothing to do with Santa Claus. It´s on the fifth of december (Saint Nick's birthday), kids get alot of gifts on that day. American Christmas is based on that. Rougly translated we call Santa, The Chrismas dude.
Damn Americans don't have a clue about Europeans, do they? I don't know about East Europe but The West is very similair to the American lifestyle (except the ammount of commercials and guns).
Je moet gewoon de humor er van inzien joh :P
Christa Verburgt I do like the humor of it, but they really think that Europe is some kind of mythical land.
i heard of that song and song it once it is wierd
I'm a Frenchman from Paris and I've lived 12 years in Den Haag.

They are just different than the American's one.
Does this give you emily in Paris vibes on attitude ??
It is a creepy premise for a song.
@@marykerrigan6462 yep ! Kind of. Arrogant Americans who think they know foreign's cultures better than people from those countries. How is it possible ? 99% of Americans don't even know the Netherlands were a country 🤣😭🤡
@@amaurya7689 very cringy ! Aw man a bit of self-reflection would do wonders..
@@marykerrigan6462 I have enough American friends who think Paris is country or cannot name 3 other cities in France 🤦🏼♂️. So imagine for a small country of 17 millions habitants like the Netherlands...
It's so sad that Christina has such a defeatist attitude towards learning another language. In Europe most people speak multiple languages. Dutch people speak english brilliantly, but can comfortably flick between dutch and english seamlessly.
charlie panapa 🇸🇷♥️✌️
For sure -- everyone says it's a really difficult language to learn, ive been at it 2 years now, and it is tough but so is every language- and basic conversation and context comprehension is fairly simple with it because it is such a direct language and culture..
most Dutch speak some english.....but the accent...ouch
@@remkovdb . People who speak English natively don't care if you have an accent or not. You should be less self concious about it.
There is a good reason for that. English is a world language and a popular lingua franca. Dutch isn't.
She deprives her daughter of a second language because she doesn't feel confident enough and suspects they're talking about her. Sad.
and she could just learn it with her
I think she's joking
If there aremultiple dutch people in a foreign envirement theres no english to be heard i think she meant that
bitch is a dumb B-actress. Ever since Married with Children her career plummeted into C-rated "comedies"
Butterbee yeah like go watch het huis anubis or something more simple like koekeloere ofzo hahahhaa
her not wanting to let her kid learn dutch from her husband is the most ignorant and selfish thing i've heard in at least a week.
The kid lives in the States, so why does it need Dutch there? To talk to the Dutch tourists?
Not only is it ignorant, it's dumb. I'm dual nationality (Irish mother/Dutch father) and as my Dad was teaching us Dutch my Mam picked it up as well so everybody won.
Being bilingual rocks!
And I agree with everybody else, what she said about Sinterklaas is complete bullshit and I've never heard that song she's talking about.
Krijn van Alten ik woon in nederland en ons word toch ook duits en engels geleerd??? je word er alleen maar slimmer van.
cynthia van soest afgesproken
cynthia van soest Maar daar heb je nu net een belangrijk onderdeel van het probleem te pakken. Engels is hier in het westen steeds meer de lingua franca aan het worden. Dit betekend voor mensen die niet uit een Engelstalige gebieden komen dat zij steeds meer twee of meertalig aan het worden zijn. En daar ontstaat de valkuil dat mensen die wel uit de Engeltalige gebieden komen steeds meer het idee krijgen dat het leren van een buitenlandse taal leren niet nuttig meer is omdat ze in het buiteland toch wel jouw taal kennen.
Aan de andere kant leren veel Amerikanen toch wel een of meerder talen. Maar vaak zijn dit talen die bijvoorbeeld handig zijn voor de handel. Chinees is steeds geliefder.
Conan and Christina: what’s wrong with Spain
William of orange: am I a joke to you?
This was very offensive to not only Dutch people, but Europeans in general. Maybe be a little more respectful to the cultures that lay at the roots of your own traditions and actually educate yourself. And more importantly, be respectful of the culture and traditions of your own husband.
he said "Sinterklaas? no it is santa claus!!" but in reality his santa came from the dutch sinterklaas... HMMMMMM.....
Santa Claus is in fact an 'invention' from the Coca Cola Company more or less 'stolen' from the dutch idea of the Sinterklaas tradition...
Tony van der Gaag now if that last name aint dutch. I dont now what is
@@tonyvandergaag8765 Capitalism at it's finest
Respect for cultures? Tell that to Indonesia.
I cannot believe she seriously prevented her daughter from becoming naturally bilingual, which is a huge cognitive advantage in life.
ye
I agree. Better to deprive the child of early bilingualism than to force a poor American to do the impossible ... learn another language.
BTW: Love how she pronounces "Schwarzepiet" instead of "Zwarte Piet". Does she even know the difference between the Netherlands and Germany?
of course she does. She married a Dutch guy. She says herself that her pronounciation sucks so can we get over that? Asking yourself why she doesn't want to learn another language when any attempt gets ridiculed.
That's a bit too easy of an excuse:" Why bother trying, I will be ridiculed". She doesn't sound at all humbled by the difficulty of the language as far as I can tell from the way she mocks the culture and forbids the language at home. It's unfair to blame the hubby based on a Dutch stereotype.
Plus, pronunciation is something you can improve, if you put in a bit of effort.
she's obviously joking dude.
"I love what the Europeans have" "their take on Christmas" Dude, what we have done? Your Santa Clause is inspired by our versions, not the other way around... By the way, the Dutch "Sinterklaas" has nothing to do with Christmas. It's a totally different thing...
Santaclaus was inspired by Sinterklaas
SCP-049 rebranded by coca cola*
@SCP-049 Coca Cola only made the Christmas man look as we know him today, big bearded guy with a red coat. The Dutch celebrated Sinterklaas in New York, then known as New Amsterdam (1625-1664) when the Brits took over Sinterklaas became Santa Claus. Plenty of words used today in the USA originate from that dutch period.
Gast boeie
Its the original
Seeing as the Dutch have fought wars against Spain I’m guessing this is a more understandable punishment
and England and France. We where first to have and used a Marine Corps (Battle of Chatham).
We fought for our independence from Spain back in the 1500s
Well, there used to be a country called "the Spanish Netherlands", which is nowadays known as "Belgium" (+ Luxembourg and some small bits of the surrounding larger countries of France, Germany and the modern day Netherlands).
As the Sinterklaas tradition is very old, I would guess, that his assistant Zwarte Piet (= "Black Pete", who is basically the Dutch version of Krampus) took the kids to Belgium (aka the nearest "Spain" seen from the Netherlands), which is, of course, a horrible thing to do.
Despite being a lovely country with wonderful people, Belgium's capital Brussels also serves as EU headquarter, i.e. the slimy ganglion of the wretched cesspool of corruption, neo-communism and outright insanity.
They seriously DID police the curvature of cucumbers for several years, because (most) EU minions are overpaid, braindead, bored p*rvs, who haven't lifted a single finger in all their lives and would take money from Satan himself.
Even though the EU is a relatively recent construct, its demonic nature must have radiated backwards through time and made the Spanish Netherlands an utterly unattractive place.
It's odd though. Yes the Dutch had 80 years of war with Spain. But Sinterklaas lives in Spain. So it can't be that bad :)
And now is whole Belgium and the Nederlands pist off😂😂😂
Sick engels
Belguim isn't Dutch its flemish and they where clearly talking aubout netherlands
glendepoorter 1 belgium was part of the netherlands for hunderds of years so they are technically dutch
Ilja Leunissen inderdaad, ze claimen ook nog een eigen land te zijn maar zijn nog niet eens origineel, ze praten Frans en Nederlands
@@iljaleunissen7950 no they arent flemish and dutch people are different in so many ways. But we are the best of friends because we all know sinterklaas is better than santa claus.
"Schwarte piet"? Jesus woman, we're not German ...
***** The way she pronounced "zwart" sounds more like "schwarz", which is German.
I'm more peeved at the fact that she's mixing up Santa Claus and Sinterklaas, and saying that Sinterklaas is the Dutch Santa - which is patent bullshit.
Ansatsunin but santa Claus originated from Sinterklaas
Ze heeft graag eens een "schwarte piet" :p
Well, hey, it's a pretty ignorant stance and makes me feel embarrassed, but let's not get mean. I'm American and my husband is Dutch *though I speak Dutch because it was important to me to learn it*. What I find the worst to be here is the selfish act of depriving her daughter of half her culture in learning her father's native language just because SHE would feel isolated. How stupid and selfish is that? Get your lazy butt in gear, hire a private tutor (if you insist on doing the "star" thing) and learn yourself your husband's language!! Bilingual kids can have such a HUGE advantage in this world - get over yourself and let your hubby and child share their Dutch heritage!
+Amanda Somerville Totally agree..
+Amanda Somerville Thanks a lot!!/Dank je wel!! Groeten aan je man. Simon uit Nederland
+Amanda Somerville I'm Dutch and will marry my American fiancée in a couple years. We both have kids with our exes. But heck, I will teach my fiancée Dutch and my daughter will learn English in school. So there you go :) I'm sure she'll be top of her class in English class in some years :) Will make them both as bilingual as I am :) But I do think, you learn a strange language best in the country around native speakers. No matter how much English I learned in school for about 10 years. I did perfect my English in America around American people :)
+Amanda Somerville I totally agree, being able to speak 2 languages at that age must be a great advantage in life when she grows up!
Helemaal akkoord, twee talen kunnen spreken op jonge leeftijd is sowieso een groot voordeel in het leven!
Waste of time unless you live somewhere with a large Dutch speaking populace. Ran into 1 here in MKE. Save your money and learn Chinese instead

Is the Spain thing real??
Desirée Rodríguez Yes, it is.
The song is Zusters Karamazov by Drs. P. Very funny but definitely not a children's song
Desirée Rodríguez Yes. i think it dates back to the 80 year war of independence of the Nethelands against Spain in the 16th/17th century. Spain was depicted as a horrible place where Roman Catholic clergy used children as slaves. But... we usually tell the children that it is all not true when they are around 8/9 years old but that they must keep that a secret for younger children. To my amazement that has worked for dozens of generations.
Ronald de Rooij cool... : ) but is a song, a story??? so children there are scared of spain till they are 9!! Im coming there and tell children im from spain... : )
I love that Conan thinks that Sinterklaas is derived from Santa Clause when it's actually the other way around
nope ...santa clause is derived from wodan/odin...Sinterklaas is a saint
steve bloodfallsfirst njet
what do you mean njet?Sinterklaas is one of the two saints that loved children and gave them gifts...The other one is Sintmaarten..And santa claus is derived from wodan/odin who lives in a cold place with elves ( asgard)and raindear (think about Thor's carriage)
Wow, guess you learn something new every day!
Casper Cornelisse It's more like: Sinterklaas is partially derived from Wodan, who rides a white horse, sleipnir, just like Sinterklaas does. Santa Claus is named after sinterklaas and partially derived from him, and partially from father christmas in the UK.
The song is called "De zusters Karamazov" and its a song made by Drs. P
I love the song!
ok! bedankt

But thats from Drs P, that's no childrens song :)
it's fantastic, actually. but indeed, not a children's song at all!
I can see that it might sound like that.
Nooit van gehoor haha
Teaching my children songs by Drs. P. and convincing my american spouse that that was the staple for Dutch music is exactly what I'd do tbh. I hope he also taught them "Dodenrit/ troika hier, troika daar" About a Russian family riding through Siberia and singing happily while tossing their kids off the sleigh to be eaten by wolves. It's really quite lovely.
She says he’s from Amsterdam while actually he’s from Vlaardingen 💀
Its kinda sad she is robbing her children of the Dutch language. It's always good to know many languages. I speak 3 different languages and I would still love to be able to speak many more but who got the time for that? Being able to speak more than one language is one of the best gifts a parent can give to their child!
brb google translate ^^
yeaaa I don't think so...

That's why you speak the superior southern accents. No hard G's.
Necra Monium lol I love how a gelatin shit is a fart
Why in f*cks name is it important to speak dutch? I am dutch and we only speak it in our country.
"And there is one beautiful song that I can't remember. Even if I did, I couldn't pronounce it and doesn't really matter since it's redundant." Are you kidding me?! I am an American learning Dutch and hearing this just made me a bit irritated 😤 If you are going to marry someone that speaks another language, how about at least take the time to learn it. She should have done the same thing, learn Dutch instead of criticizing it and allow Dutch to be spoken.
Yes exactly, her husband can’t even talk Dutch to her daughter because their gonna say things about her in Dutch. I just-
It's really too stupid and shallow of her. You're right with the things you mentioned. I wish you lots of fun and success learning the language of my country. And believe me: The Netherlands consist of more than just Amsterdam. There's lots and lots more in this small country at the Northsea!!
In the Netherlands we have a kind of funny dark comedy and it was at one time very popular in songs. The song she's talking about is "De Gezusters Kamarazov" (The Sisters Karamazov), a play on the book by Dostojewski, by Drs. P. Another example is "Dodenrit" (Death Ride), by the same singer. It's about a Russian family on their way to Omsk, but they get chased by wolves, so they have to throw their children off the troika to keep the wolves away. They start with the least talented one, but the wolves keep coming back, so they have to keep throwing their children off. Drs. P was inspired by Louis Davids, who sang songs about all day themes, but with funny dark undertones. There's one example named "De Begrafenis van Ome Manus" (The Burial of Uncle Manus). In this song a rich man has died, but he has many descendants who start to kill each other over the heritage. Another example is "Weekend in Scheveningen", where the chorus is about happy like "Yeah, we're going to the beach in Scheveningen. The sky is blue, the sea is warm in Scheveningen!", but in the verses the family irritate each other and they start beating each other to death. It may be strange to some people, but I think it's funny as hell.
fun fact: spain was once a long time enemy of the dutch. Being taken to spain was like being a POW.
no they weren', at least in the eyes of willem van oranje, like what was written in our anthem. only the king of spain saw him or us (i dont remember) like a threat or something, then the king hired balthazar gerards to kill willem van oranje...
@@daanverbaandert3235 well i suppose the 80 year war didn't happen then. well okay then!

What I heard was, "Since I don't speak Dutch, I'm not going to let my child be bilingual." That kid has a *perfect* opportunity to be fluent in two languages. It just sickens me that some people can be that selfish. Obviously it's her kid and she can do whatever she wants, but that doesn't make it moral.
Guess you've never seen the studies about raising children bilingually, or how doing so increases brain growth and development tremendously, as well as increases social skills. And hey, of course there's no value in learning to form thoughts and concepts in another language, with it's own unique way of phrasing (thus having an effect on the nature and aspect of those thoughts and concepts), right? /s
Fool.
It's confusing for americans when we talk about 'Sinterklaas'. They think we're talking about 'Santa Claus' but that is not true. 'Sinterklaas' is a mythical man who supposedly lives in Spain and who brings presents and candy for children on december 6th (in Belgium) and september 5th (in Holland). He has multiple assistants who are called 'zwarte piet'. So 'Piet' is a Dutch name, and 'zwarte' means black. So he's 'zwarte piet' because he crawls through chimneys to deliver the toys and candy in childrens homes and that's why he's black. 'Sinterklaas' is actually based on an ancient Germanic feast. 'Santa Claus' is called 'Kerstman' in Dutch and there's no difference between the american and Dutch/Belgian 'Kerstman'. He brings presents on Christmas.
+Mario X. Also, Santa Claus was actually based on Sinterklaas. The dutch Kerstman is based on Santa Claus.

Well not Mythical. Its was a young men called Nikolaos from Myra
today's Turkey. When his parents died and left him with a lot of money, which he did a lot of good with. He moved in with his uncle an became a priest, eventually a bishop and after he died a Saint.
In the legends he is a benefactor to children from praying them back alive, saving them from a butcher how made meat from them
Most famous is the poor man with 3 daughter and no dowery and would most likely stay single the rest of their live and being assumed to be prostiutes. To save them humiliation Dear O'l Nik would secretly trew in 1 purse money trough the window when a daughter became of aged to be married. When the 3 daughter was going to be the father wanted to know how the kind man was. Nik went on the roof and threw the purse trough the chimney and ended up falling in a stocking hanging there to dry.
Santa little helpers?

+Mario X. December 5th in Holland...
+Mario X. The true story is very different. Some key factors: Santa Claus is based on an Irish myth and Sinterklaas. The "zwarte pieten" were not in fact his helpers but his slaves (mind you the myth originates in the 1500's when slaves were one of the primary sources of health for the then called Dutch Republic. These slaves were black and hence the colour reference, nothing to do with chimneys, that's just some fantasy we tell the kids. It is also not based upon a Germanic feast, it is based on Saint Nicholas or Nikolaos of Myra. There are also tiny differences in the Christmas version (Santa), but those quickly diverge to a discussion about semantics so I won't go in to that here.
As a person who's lived in The Netherlands her whole life, the pronounce of every dutch words they say is absolutely to die for. I could not stop laughing and I so appreciate Christina for trying to speak Dutch. Because it is hard. It is a difficult language. If I would marry an American man or a man from any other foreign country and we decide to live there and not in The Netherlands. I will make sure our kid(s) speak Dutch from the moment they start talking.
I love how arrogant Americans can be when they talk about Europe😂😂😂
Its funny how they are all mostly European
Are you kidding me. It's kind of rude that she doesn't even want to try and speak Dutch or try to understand the culture. Her kids will miss a beautiful opportunity to be bilingual. I know I'm kind of biased because I'm Dutch, but still it is her husband. Not only she but also Conan has to consider that different cultures has to be respected. They both don't wanna know the actual traditions and only tell the 'funny and weird' things that come with Sinterklaas. I shouldn't be this offended, and I'm really not. But people (especially Americans) are making fun about our traditions, or ruin them by being mad about it while they have no idea what they're really about and what they mean to us. I just think they could have been, and should have been, a little more respectful about it.

Thank you!! Helemaal mee eens!
Niriel Nabokov that's not true, Dutch grammar is completely different then English grammar. Which is why most Dutch people's English is pretty crappy.. And that also goes the other way around. The ways we form sentences are completely different. Grammatically speaking, Dutch is one of the hardest languages to learn. But she's indeed a total bitch in this interview
really???? after reading all these comments, you would still be surprised?! lol. how stupid.
Actually Dutch people speak very good English in comparison to other countries. Grammatically speaking we do a lot different, but both languages share the same roots.
wow, umh for someone's who's married to a dutch person she sure shows little interest and appreciation of the dutch culture. She even got all her facts wrong about sinterklaas.
+Slytherinsterek Right, how awful is that? And the fact she's denying her child learning her father's language just so she doesn't feel left out? That's literally the definition of a bad parent - putting your petty foibles above what's best for your children.
+Tom THANK YOU. That is exactly what I mean, to be honest it disgusts and offends me to a personal level. In what world does she think she lives that she can just completely ignore her husband's culture, language and origins for her own benefit? and then start spreading lies about it on national television? Ugh
Slytherinsterek I share your disgust my dear - and I'm not Dutch, but after living in Amsterdam and discovering what a wonderful culture it is, it bothers me even more. Not that that matters really - it's terrible to deny a child their cultural heritage, whatever that might be.
And yet her husband was watching at home and having a good laugh because he has a *sense of humor*.
These people onstage are involved comedy, and definitely know better. In fact, these are pretty mild jokes they decided to run with.
Different cultures find different things amusing.
+Martin Alexander oh I knew it was humor!
Don't get me wrong, my comment wasn't made as some butthurt Dutch person whose pride was hurt, no it's just that I find that they handeled our culture in a very disrespectful way. It's fine to make jokes about our culture, tbh I can really enjoy it when the Netherlands totally gets owned, but I don't like insulting jokes when there's no truth in them. I mean, would she haved joked about something we actually do I would have found it to be funny (of course when it's done respectfully) but the fact is that she doesn't. The only thing she really does is give some unfunny and mostly false facts about the Netherlands and insult her husband. Like I get how this is meant to be funny, but it's just not? The show went for quick easy "humor", while with a little more effort they could have actually made jokes about the weird shit we do (bc we really do some weird shit). I mean I don't mind people making fun of Dutch culture at all, more like the opposite please drag our asses I love that shit, but it needs to be done right.
The Dutch are very direct, almost rude for some lol. But they are highly educated. The Netherlands is 1 of the richest countrys in the world. With the best healthcare in the world. Compared to The Netherlands the U.S. is a 3th world country. Serious.

so this is how she speaks about her husbands culture with other people, interessant...
It's impossible to make Americans understand 'Sinterklaas' is - not - our Christmas celebration. It's completely separate. It would be like saying Halloween is your Christmas celebration.
well its not really. Its like saying Halloween is their version of Sint maarten
Sinterlaas+christmas= presents (why lots of foreigners confuse them)
Sint maarten+halloween= sweets (why that would be a better example)
But I agree, most will never understand. But thats like most traditions, if you dont have that tradition you try and compare it to something you know.
DDnufcGamer No, because halloween is kinda like their version of sint-maarten, they don't celebrate sin-maarten intself
What she said about Zwarte Piet and Sinterklaas has nothing to do with Santa Claus/Christmas, just so you know
Nienke Galis
Exactly, it actually does have something to do with Santa Claus. Santa Claus is based on Sinterklaas.
It's great to see people that actually know.
Also, It's not just Sinterklaas, it's also father christmas and quite a few others.

Oh Drs. P, he was a very ancient looking man, but with the mind of a troller. Most of his songs are starting very normal sketching things in normal life, but the longer it takes, the more drama happens in his songs. It's pure brilliance. Although he made some cute songs as well about places, vegetables and fruits, making poetry of it. And sometimes naughty and dirty as hell. Let me tell you: it's not meant for children, but some songs they can enjoy it as well.
His most well known song is about a trojka in Russia with a family travelling to Omsk. While the ride goes on, a pack of wolves is hunting them down. One by one they get eaten by the wolves. They are throwing child after child to them, to have a chance of surviving with many. The contrast is that they sing songs to keep cheered up. In the end they all died with Omsk in sight. Ending with the legendary words: "Omsk is a beautiful city, but just a bit too far." Pure tragedy, but brought very funny and epic!
3:53 We do understand you the fact is that americans do not understand us!😅 they always think they’re right about everything😂
"their take on Christmas" ?! DUDE Sinterklaas excited in the middle ages, he really excisted, did good things and when dutch people came to america they changed him a bit turned his name in to Santa Claus and said Christmas was his holiday. Santa Claus is YOUR TAKE on Sinterklaas not the other way around. Get your facts straight!
American's love to be the best in everything and they forget so easily the original santa claus is coming from Norway and the Santa Claus they know now is invented by Coca Cola in the mid 30's of last century for marketing purposes..
#restmycase
You're close, but not entirely. Sinterklaas is based on Saint Nicholas of Myra, a bishop who lived in the 4th century. Saint Nicholas Day and Christmas for us is a different holiday. Christmas is a christianisation of a germanic pagan feast, with Santa Claus actualy being a combination of the French/British tradition Father Christmas and the Lowlands tradition Sinterklaas. So yeah "our take on it" is more legit. The fun fact, however, is that the modern image of Santa Claus was popularised by 1930s Coca Cola adverts.
Vanessa Zikking Dude, no. Just NO. Santa Claus is based on Sinterklaas. He wasn't made up, he has NOTHING to do with Norway. They Took an ancient Dutch tradition and modified it into something ridiculous. St Nicholas wasn't made up, he actually existed.
Stahp interrupting Andy... I wanted to hear his travel story
Dutch tradition is using your bicycle on the sidewalk and then having to deal with some random grandma screaming every single swear word she can still remember at you
The song isn't a childrens song. The Sisters Karamazov is a song by Drs. P from 1957 and describes the story of two sisters, Constance and Mathilde, in Overveen who get into an argument about the division of an inheritance: Aunt Heleen's clothes. Drs. P (Thun, August 24, 1919 - Amsterdam, June 13, 2015), pseudonym of Heinz Hermann Polzer, was a Dutch-speaking writer with Swiss nationality. His stage name refers to the academic degree of doctoral student (abbreviated: drs.) in economics, which Polzer obtained at the Dutch Economic College (now Erasmus University Rotterdam). He was also a poet, writer, comedian, man of letters, composer, pianist and singer of self-written songs.
From the 1950s to 1996, Drs. P performed his songs in theaters, cafes, student associations and at events in the Netherlands and Belgium. He always accompanied himself on the piano.
Drs. P was mainly known in the 1970s and 1980s with singles such as Dodenrit, Veerpont ("To and fro"), Het stair portal ("The commensal"), Turnip and praise, salsify and leek and The sisters Karamazov. In the Netherlands and Belgium (Flanders) he was a popular guest on radio and television.
Is she sure her husband is Dutch? Because none of what she is saying is either Dutch language nor culture...
Arjan 030 Sinterklaas and zwarte Piet sure are Dutch.... for as long as it's allowed
I stand corrected. However, all the associated traditions (and language) seem Austrian or something (they have Sinterklaas too)
You my friend are a true netherland person
Well, she tried to pronounce 'Alsjeblieft' meaning 'please'. Plus, Austrian? Since when is Austrian a language? They in generally speak German over there, and Dutch has the same roots as German, so go figure. Our ancestors were basically kindred, so of course they know about our traditions.
Arjan 030 I don’t think any real dutch person would insult their country like that or take any crap like A litle puppy ( sorry Im mad) She is horibly misinformed about the dutch and even one word is to dificult to learn . This is insulting and not even correct beyond words. I suspect he is barely dutch and has probably been living in america for his whole life lewrning the language through the parents
We aint like that, we celebrate both Sinterklaas and Santa Claus in December. Also the American Santa Claus is derived from the Dutch Sinterklaas. Too bad they don't know that.
Only the name is. The character is mostly the English figure of Father Christmas, which is in turn just a version of Germanic pagan Yule traditions and his appearance is pretty much based on an avatar of Odin.
Ze zijn te vol van zichzelf om daar over na te denken
“One time we went to Amsterdam…” end of story lol
Sinterklaas ≠ Santa Claus
It's not the same holiday god dammit
But isn't Sinterklaas aka Santa Claus from the Netherlands? The tradition was brought over by Dutch immigrants to the American colonies. lol "Our Santa is better!" Oh the irony
Sinterklaas and Santa Claus are two different things. they are both based on Sint Nicolas
Sinterklaas is the same as saint Nicholaas and are used interchangeably in the Netherlands. Santa Claus is based on saint Nicholas - an old man with a weird suit and a white beard giving presents.
Yep
Shannon "*It's SANTA*" ~dumbass
Shannon u got to see them as brothers, they are not the same and not even based i think.
Teaching the daughter a funny violent adult's song is a perfect way to get back at his wife who doesn't allow him to speak to his child in his own mother's tongue.
indeed. too bad i don't know how it goes
the funny fact is that without the Dutch Sinterklaas Santa Claus wouldn't exist.
Did she just try to say alsjeblieft😂
LOL "their take on Christmas". Christmas is the American take on Sinterklaas. It's the other way around.
No it isn't Santa claus came from Sinterklaas ;-) you americans got the wrong date haha
Luperdye It's a fact, not "could be". Christmas is a Sinterklaas ripoff.

Het Nederlands is een hele mooie taal...
Actually the Dutch growers have a huge tradition with walnuts. They made more types of walnut than anyone else and there is an extant collection of them second to none. Nowadays not so popular though, that is true and unfortunate.
The song is called Gezuster Kazamarov by Drs. P.

"Let's give a quick Shoutout to Christina Applegate"
Closest comment was a year ago. I am disappointed on TH-cam
When Conan mentioned Sinterklaas. This reminded me of Season 9 of The Office. When Dwight wanted to have a PA Dutch Christmas. He had that crazy costume on and kept hitting Jim with the stick! LOL!
The funny part though is that without OUR Dutch Sinterklaas (Who is based on the Turkish bishop St. Nicolas.) the Americans wouldn't even have had any Santa Claus. When the Dutch settlers went off to 'the new world' which has become America they took Sinterklaas with them as a tradition,(Which by the way gets celebrated on 5th december in The Netherlands and on 6th December in Belgium.) and over the years Sinterklaas got combined with 2 other caracters (1 being the German 'Father Christmas') and formed into Santa Clause. And then in 1934 Coca Cola made him into the guy everybody knows now. (And thats also the reason why Santa is in the same colours as the Coca Cola-logo.)
And THAT are the simple facts.
It should be the 5th for both countries as when Sinterklaas was first celebrated Belgium and the Netherlands were one country...
Walnut? on a pillow? ... this interview is so weird. as a dutch person I do feel slightly offended, they are making fun of us even if she said she isnt
You should correct "as a Dutch person" to "as an easily offended person". The walnut thing was obviously a humorous hyperbole about a strange and austere foreign custom that he made up on the spot, not "this is actually what we think Dutch people do".
Sam M. I said slightly offended, and i'm actually a very easy breezy person. so no, not going to change what I said. I feel what i feel, can't help it
Wow if you get offended then grow some skin man. Serious. Nothing to be offended by
Iris van herpt slightly?? enormous
It's a song for grown ups. It's written by a man named Drs, P which translated is PhDs. P. His full name is Poltzer. He wrote many funny songs.
Amazing how wrong they are
Sinterklaas is Sint Nicolaas is Saint Nicolas... a.k.a. "santaclaus"....You coca-cola ripoff is bullshit, you know that, right, mister Conan? ;)
The ignorance begins in grouping Europe as just one thing.
In the Netherlands we also celebrate christmas and Santa Klaus is based of sinterklaas and Santa is called that way because americans can't say sinterklaas. You would only understand this holiday if you grew up with it.
I like how the description goes like "The Dutch love to threaten naughty kids that a demon will take them away to spain"
LOL wtf somebody on your team used his or her imagination a bit too much.
Sinterklaas is an entirely different Dutch holiday, Conan. Zwarte Piet belongs with the 'Sinterklaas' holiday, not with Christmas.
I am afraid that this is way too complex for Onan O'Brien to grasp.
No one cares. Welcome to the internet.
Ash The Mohican he probably doesn't care that nobody cares, welcome to the netherlands
Santaclause is actually Sinterklaas, in america they erased the original story about the Turkish saint and combined it with that other saint, jesus.
Then, it was commercialized a lot, like coca cola had a big influence on his appearence.
But indeed, it's a totally different kind of day, but the person is the same. And in holland we use slaves instead of elfs X-D
well, niet echt een Nederlands feest xD er zyn nog veel andere landen, als niet byna alle Europese landen die Sinterklaas vieren :p
I'm an African who lives in the Netherlands, although I personally think the idea of zwarte piet is racist but in their defence, the Dutch's take on it seems to be completely innocent...
Robin Visser Dear god, Conan is obviously just acting stupid like he normally does on his show in order to make his guest shine. It's meant to be funny, not to be an accurate view on the ethics and history of the Dutch society. I hate it when people watch comedy and only get offended when something directly targets them... Learn to put things in perspective...
I'm Dutch, wouldn't mind filling in for the guy when he's on tour...…..
I'm good with kids and all…….
Haha I love it it’s so funny if your’e Dutch you’re like ‘well, they don’t really take us to Spain, but yeah...’😂😂
Wtf she is talking about the dutch culture but has it all wrong
Just to clear things up:
1. The modern figure of Santa Claus is derived from the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas, whose name is a dialectal pronunciation of Saint Nicholas. So Santa Clause actually comes from a dutch tradition, but americans gave it a different name and made it more commercial.
2. Sinterklaas has helpers 'Zwarte Pieten', which is now seen as a racist thing, especially in other countries (because they don't know the history behind it).
The history of 'Zwarte Piet' is actually that when he was a slave, Sinterklaas freed him and 'Zwarte Piet' was so thankful that he wanted to stay loyal to Sinterklaas and help him with helping more people, especially children. So he voluntarily stayed. But I understand very well that because of the history and how he looks like, people feel offended. The Netherlands is now changing the way Zwarte Piet looks, so like no golden earrings anymore & some even have different colors like yellow, white or blue.
3. The last thing I want to say is, especially to Americans, please do your research about the Netherlands (and actually whole Europe). It has a lot of history and culture, which should be studied before making such weird statements. Cause this conversation is just full of ignorance.
Coca Cola heeft het aangepast voor hun reclame
yafuga imani Oh and to add: The zwarte pete's are not staying voluntarily, they wórk there and get payed. On t.v. you regulary see them travel on their own, having their own stuff, normal lives and théy decide where they go or what they do. They don't work for free.
Yes unfortunately Sinterklaas is not as fun as it was as back in the day
Zwarte Piet isn't "considered" racist. it is racist. Usually is when you have a character whose race is in his name. And tell the people why they get taken to Spain.
Saint Nicholas had nothing to do with Netherlands. SN was Turkish. Ignorant spreading misinformation.
You can tell Conan was tryna break Christina but she's too damn good. XD
What do you mean creative? Santa Clause came from our holiday "Sinterklaas"

Lmao, no. That is the PC version from the 1960's. In the 1850, when Zwarte Piet was introduced to the Sinterklaas story, he was most definitely a black man. His whole outfit is derived from how Moorish page boys were dressed, when it was all the rage to own in back in 18th century Europe.
