Hi, I'm Greg Shapiro. Comedian. American. Dutchman. I came to Amsterdam to work with Boom Chicago comedy theater, and I never left. Along the way, I've hosted 'Comedy Central News,' I've written a book 'How to Be Orange,' and I've worked side by side with Boom Chicago alumni such as Seth Meyers, Jordan Peele and Jason Sudeikis.
A lot of my TH-cam activity has been with Boom Chicago: in 2004 I voiced the 'Florida Voting Machine' video, which gained 1 million views - before there was a TH-cam. I'm now working on a 'Daily Show for the EU' called 'United States of Europe.' I'm co-host of 'The Amsterdam Comedy Podcast.' And I'm host of the app Quickest Quiz. They're all free.

"Smoking area's outside, DOEI!"
I'm laughing my ass off, this is great.
we are against smoking here in Holland and you are not allowed to smoke on public places such as goverment buildings.
as if you are the only ones.........
Who said?
Who is this "We"?
They sure as hell didn't ask me, but it doesn't stop them from raking in the tariffs on what I smoke
BUSINESS! BUSINESS!
As an Afrikaner from South Africa, I can confirm that we pretty much inherited this from the Dutch. Like them, if you put two Afrikaners on an island, they'll found two political parties and three churches.
Hannodb1961 True!
🤣
@@roaming-skoomacat That depends on which party is in control
I'm dutch and yes even my wallet is flat
hahaha!
spijkerpoes no it isn't there is always something in it
a button, a parking ticket and a picture of my long lost love..
The wallet gets bigger when you have more money, no more flat
een die weet ik me voel :(
"The country is so flat, that even a town called Seven Mountains lays below sea level."
Touché, I died at that line XD
My professor at the university is German and she shared her first experience of teaching in the Netherlands.. if she asked the following question in Germany: does anyone have any questions or remarks? It was met with a a few questions or silence. When she asked the same question in the Netherlands this started a whole discussion among the students at which she was totally flabbergasted and didn't know what to do for a moment xD I'm happy we have the freedom to put questionmarks by everything we are told. To not take everything as true because one person says it is :)
Lol
In my experience, at uni, whenever the prof asks whether there are questions, no one dares to be the first to admit they may not have understood everything perfectly 😂
dutch meetings, are like forplay for men.. buisness buisness, cheese sandwich buisness buisness.. were done? ok smoking area is outside DOEI! this is honestly, how everything works in the netherlands
i pissed myself when i heard that XD but its so accurate
Kelly-sophie Mekel het is waar
YOU FORGOT THE COFFE AT THE BEGINNING!!! HOW COULD YOU? OK? DOEI!
Not true! Sometimes you get hagelslag sandwich instead
Thanks,
It's not like I also watched the video or anything.
Heb me kapot gelachen. Dit moet je met een korreltje zout nemen zeikerds.
Of zullen we er over vergaderen?
hahaha!
Inderdaat, dit is pure homur en een beetje zelfspot kan geen kwaad :)
doei!
Frederick Röders lol
Pastafarian Haha idd dit is een geniale comedian
"The smoking area is outside, DOEI!" Most accurate Dutch I have ever heard.
haha leuk filmpje, hou je sarcasme op dit niveau. niet veel hebben het door.
Laat staan het begrijpen van sarcasme
Willem Buysman klopt zeker met zevenbergen waar dan ook echt geen berg te vinden is ik woon daar
So we Dutch people are Bipolar.... pretty much actually
Aurica Kosza Im ducht🔥
Zeker
Aurica Kosza it's kinda true 😂
@weeaboo karwan watch out! watching too much anime makes you depressive.
Bipolar isn't so bad actually. Poland is much worse, they have 38 MILLION Poles!
Ha, hilarious! But you've clearly never been to a Belgian meeting before. It goes more like this:
Bonjour!
Hallo!
..Bonjour!
...hoi...
BONJOUR! SPEAK ZHE FRENCH!
But you're supposed to be able to speak both Dutch and French...
NON! I REFUSE TU SPEAK ZHE DUTCH, I WILL BOYCOTT ZHIS MEETING!
😂😂
Life in Brussels. All day, every day.
It's actually far worse than that.
Every conversation between a Flemish and a Waloon in a nutshell
Ye why is that? Doesn't that devide your country like crazy? Feels weird to me that people would refuse to speak the languages of the country. Although I guess we have some people who just speak a strong dialect in the Netherlands and never go anywhere where they don't speak it.
That was really good and true.. XD He also pronounced the Dutch words quite good if you ask me
Cuz he is dutch...
Henk Bouwhuis really? his name doesn't sound Dutch
No way, did you hear him say that Dutch saying? That sounded way to weird for him to be actually Dutch.
Don't say things you don't know nigga he is a american from chicago
Tina de Ronde indeed
As a Dutch person who works in an office I have to say this is pretty accurate.
Not every belgian speaks french you know... Ever heard about Flanders? ;)
Lol you saying you dont speak with a french accent? :D my experience from living in Mechelen made me think otherwise :D
No i do not. ;) I was raised in the western of flanders, and i never heard a word of french, except for in school. It's not a french accent, it's called flemish. :D And Mechelen has it's own accent. We ( in the western part of flanders) think there accent is pretty funny. :')
sure if your from the very west, hen sure.. but anyone who doesn't speak that dialect has quite the french accent lol, but well thats what i noticed being a foreigner :D
r2darky That could be true, yes. ;)
Flemish..XD
If this video is to insult the Netherlands, i am from the Netherlands and i wouldnt wish to be from a different country. Our country is beautiful, rich, full of nice people, and in my opinion, we are the best European country. No country could stand up to us. We are one amazing country and nothing could change that! (No hate comments please.)
Don't forget it is in our culture, to be vinigar pissing over our culture.
***** Yeah, in the city i was born in, there were a lot of Muslims living around there. And they always thought we were dumb and they were perfect. Kinda sad to see. By the way, i dont live in NL anymore, so my Dutch is getting worse and worse with the day, if i dont begin to study it again sometime. I "joined" the Harajuku community.
***** Haha, I live in Harajuku now, like I said. "I 'joined' the Harajuku community" :))
***** yes, it is Japanese. Its a place where people have a certain style, mostly Decora. Search "Harajuku Girls". Maybe you'll find something 😁
It's Unicorn Time! Ik ben het daar mee eens :-)
As a fellow dutchman, I laughed my ass off. I can relate this with my work and discussions with friends.
haha im dutch i tought this was hilarious and its kind of true also
Michael Huigen iedereen moet gewoon niet zo zeiken. Dan wordt alles beter in ons land
Niet zeiken...dat wordt lastig als iedereen zijn plasje erover heen moet doen whahaaaahahahaha
Hahaha snap daar ecbt niets van
I'm offensive and I find this Dutch.
Balerion aha...
Bijna
Balerion nice xD
Nog even leren
All extremely true, but I'd argue that Dutch workplace meetings are the better way to run a company.
I'm a Belgian who grew up there, so I'd probably be trying to endlessly pamper colleagues in restaurants over and over again according to your video. :p
Goed gezegd! (met zachte g)
Geil ( met zachte g)
I'm not sure how I ended up here but it's hella funny.
Masterful, Mr. Shapiro. God knows the Dutch need critical comments "in your face", and that you will be amply rewarded for exploring your singular duality. Keep it up, half the planet's waiting for your good stuff.
im dutch and i find this funny and true.
***** maybe camping as in vacations or the finacial tax heaven for billionaires or the rise of geert wilders in the polls . Or the fight against water. I dont know but im sure you will make it funny😄
Do a video how the far right is gaining votes in the netherlands
It's a bit exaggerated, but so true, I live in the most southern part of the Netherlands where the culture is a bit in between the Belgian (Flanders) culture and the Dutch, and recognise a lot.
Decision making in The netherlands can take ages, especialy with public planning.
Projects like major roads can take 10-20 years of planning, meetings, public input, another 10 meetings, and plans not passing the council of state because not everybody is happy with the outcome, and the whole proces starts again. I have seen this happen exactly with a road that is to be built near where I live, planning started 23 years ago and they started building it 2 years ago.
Also recognize doing bussiness in Belgium, you can't talk about bussiness before a meal and some bottles of wine/beer are finished. (altough this is changing because of ethics of conduct rules implemented by a lot of international operating companies)
I laughed way too hard about this 😂
"Iedereen moet z'n plasje erover doen"
Hahah 😂😂😂
XD Helemaal stuk! DOEI!!
me too lmao😂😂
As a Dutch person I love this message. I have been living in Japan for several years so far and it pretty much is a completely other spectrum and I have noticed several of these traits with myself. Sometimes for the better, sometimes maybe not. Especially when you sometimes think about the other person's feelings which is something the Dutch people don't really think about. But seeing as they are used to butcher each other, they often don't even mind.
But, it is definitely better to end a meeting early (or on time) and think about it and come back to it the next day, rather than butchering the thinking process of everyone in the room by staying there for several extra hours and not coming to a single damn conclusion but leaving everyone frustrated for the rest of the evening, as far as there is an evening left for them. Whereas other cultures/people might not even give one damn about the thoughts of their employees to see whether they have something to add and just take their superiority position to make the decision and the "meeting" is more a briefing.
So in America, when the boss says: "Let's do this the wrong way!", you say: "okay"? Hmm, productive...
Very funny indeed and your Dutch accent is perfect. Business business cheese sandwhich business! I will use that in my future meetings
Hahaha that last part is so funny....get your coffee quick and lunch is 20 minutes to stuff a cheese sandwich... haha...very accurate!
2:50 Exactly what we do. Doei!
DOEI!
Love it. Great work. Now let's meet and discuss shall we?
+Olaf Meester: I disagree! I just walked in and I have a different opinion...
+Y Dam plan a meeting
😂
Well as a Dutch man, lets have a meeting why we discuss right now, and discuss later about your point. You say: Love it. lets discuss that?! Great work? Lets discuss that next meeting before we begin discussing it. XD
well, I'm dutch so
Hahaha, as an American who lived there, this is damn to the point!
Hi Dutchie here. At my workplace my manager is constantly in meetings. He goes from meeting to meeting all day long.
As a Dutch person myself I can say this is accurate
Nice and true! Also the dutch pronunciation is spot on
Dude, even though I’m Dutch, you’re throwing all kinds of shizzle dizzle and facts that I didn’t know before right into my head😂😂🤯
The ending was hilarious
I am from Zevenbergen! Ahaha xD
haha
Ik ook😂
Sprak hij niet de stem in in die video van Zondag met Lubach over Trump? 😂
Yup.
He did?
Nicoline Blankespoor yep
Dat klopt
Dit is geweldig
Geniaal... Zo droog 😂
Too accurate, I have to confirm. Why all Dutch people are offended by this I dont get though 😂
Cactus 'N Gaming I, as a Dutchy, actually enjoyed it. Especially the last part where he imitated the meeting, I freaking pissed myself when he said: "The smoking area is outside, doei!" Furthermore I Just think many Dutch people here don't understand that this is a satirical show
Cactus 'N Gaming Guess again m8 ... I'm a Dutch man and i was laughing hard ... Most Dutch know a satire when they see it 😉
Don't ask me, I wouldn't know.
Personally in this case, I was not offended at all. A while ago he did a part on Black Pete (the entire theater went silent once he gave his opinion and he noticed and moved on quickly.)
Apart from some of that sensitive Dutch stuff that Americans shouldn't ask or interfere with, this was just satire, not even that sharp, it could've been meaner, I still wouldn't have been offended.
As a Dutch person I can't say I would know why they are offended. Because the video was absolutely hilarious. Maybe they need to have a meeting about where their sense of humor went.
Did you even pay attention to the video? The answer to your question is there xD
Love how a lot of the Dutchies in the comments are hurt in their special place of pride or whatever about your comments (I'm Dutch as well). Grow up and stop taking things so seriously! I loved the "DOEI" ;-)
I have read multiple comments complaining about dutch people being hurt, but i have yet to encounter one comment from anyone actualy hurt. How long do i need to scroll to get there?
that ending was brilliant.. Well, i got my coco.. DOEIII
Lol the end "would you like a sigaret, yes the smoking area is outside DOEI"
Hilarious!
Why is everyone do triggered? I'm Dutch and I find this funny eownwiwbu
Geweldig!!😂
Brilliant! Love it! More!
hahhahaha DOEI!! Amazing
Who the fuck is this guy? His dutch is really impressive!
Angry DutchMan he is dutch and this is a joke vid
that 'Doei' was amazing haha
The “doei” at the end XD
i´m dutch and this is reality in my country
This was fucking funny. x'D My sides.
Geniaal Greg! doei!!! lol
Hillarious!!! :)
Hahaha love this! DOEI
The Netherlands may be flat, but the average cupsize is D ;3
“The smoking area is outside, DOEI”.... well done, sir.
you are soo funny! out of my experience with working with belgian and dutch i can only confirm your observation :) keep going!
If you aint Dutch,you aint much.Hup holland Hup.!!!!!!!!Hi Hi
Yvonne de la Bretoniere suffer America! !
Yvonne de la Bretoniere goed gezegd!
Like if you like the Netherlands
Surprisingly recognisable and (hence?) funny
Wow dat laatste stuk was geweldig
I'm from the Netherlands and this is not true😂
As a fellow Dutchman, I can safely say that this is 100% accurate with my experiences.
Well lets discuss it, shall we? ;-)
Waarom verzinnen ze dit wij zijn niet zo tuurlijk niemand van een ander land mag de baas zijn over ons maar de rest
minecraft girl Euhm... Dit filmpje is een van de meest accurate beschrijvingen van hoe de Nederlanders zijn. Echt, met zaken doen gaat het bij ons echt alleen maar om de zaken, niks anders.
so... basically you hate the dutch? Or was there some other point to this video?
Nou, ik woon hier nog.
***** oh okay..?
He is dutch
+Henk Bouwhuis Greg Shapiro is not Dutch, he is American but has lived/lives for quite some time in the Netherlands.
And very charmingly, he learned our language pretty well! (better than most of our English)
***** yeah okay but I didn't get what he wanted to tell people with this
hahaha ik kom uit Zevenbergen 😂 die had ik niet aan zien komen
Geniaal XD
Wow I'm Dutch and the most of the content was total bullcrap
Or in Dutch
Ik kom uit Nederland en het grootste gedeelte was totale onzin!!
wingman dit is als grap bedoeld jezus
smh u bent niet bekend met satire?
XD this is so true but so funny!
That last part 😂😂😂 ”DOEI”
This is also kinda true 😂
haha zo herkenbaar
Dit is serieus echt goud! We zijn ook echt mierenneukers. T is waar mensen.
And to the guy making this video: Your accent there actually sounded like what some people here sound like when they speak english. (We are the best none native english speaking country in the world though. Just wanted to point that out, because I'm proud of it)
Lol, great video.
Bravo! Haha that was hilarious because it's true!
THE WAY HE ACTS OUR ACCENT
ITS GOLD AND SO TRUE
I'm dutch... And this is still funny lol XD
great video!
brilliant!
The accuracy of this man's impressions is, uncanny.
I'm Dutch, and he's spot on.
Good pronunciation of the Dutch language too.
Take a "Stroopwafel" for that!
haha Seven Mountains.
I actually used to live there, its more like one hill with 7 main Streets to get onto it XD
Haha ik lach me suf! 😁
this is so f*cking accurate! every bit of it! but i do also love every aspect of the way we have meetings, when i was the intern i would argue with the boss without feeling any hesitations. the part where we don't have ranks ia also very true, i would greet the king the way i would greet my new neighbors.
Yep, thats pretty accurate. Thanks for getting it right ;)
I actually live in Zevenbergen (Seven Mountains) and seeing it mentioned made me laugh so much
Shiiiiiiiiiit! Shapiro's onto us :-)
The accents are spot on! Hilarious!
Hahaha very good doei
I am from the Netherlands an I can just say. This is good
Super!
Spot on!
Amazing HAHAHa
Of course it's a little exaggerated but I laughed way too hard about this because, when I think of it, you're actually right xD
2:48 SPOT ON
So true, haha. It's still a mystery to me how to get any commitment about anything in a Dutch company. Basically if still one person disagrees the whole project is at risk of stalling. Even if the CEO says it needs to get done. I've heard the phrase "well the CEO doesn't know shit about this" more than once, lol.
Oh and I'm Dutch too.
omg the doei killed me 😂
I’m from holland but the way you tell it is so funny, i live under the sea level btw (;
Haha, really recognizable. Business is just business in The Netherlands. Also the hierarchy you were talking about, in some companies there is this hierarchy. But me personally, always had the option to 'talk back', as long as it was with respect and good arguments. Anyway, I also expect respect and good arguments from my superiors.
This is way to accurate
I found my new favourite channel!!
I will find out soon! Going through them now!
