Hahahah as a half Dutch-half German person having grown up in both countries, this is spot on! I can totally feel exactly these differences 😄 And I kinda feel Germans are sweeter too, but Dutch are way more relaxed and cool haha 😄
Am now almost 8 years in Germany, my wife is a German, my kids are born here so one could say that I am not allowed to say anything bad about them BUT DEAR LORD, these people and their rules and their bureaucracy is killing me. (Besides the weather) Am always trying to find the easiest way to deal with the things (am a Serb and not trying to be stereotypical but that is kinda way that we do things) and I even see my wife sometimes getting upset and am like dear God chill, everything is fine, we’re not breaking any laws just creating shortcuts to something that is obvious to any other normal human being! And i lived in Dusseldorf and now we’re in Munich and Bavarians are like Germans above Germans.
Anthropology, but yes. There is indeed a lot of material. Daniel you should start specializing in your comedy. You know what I mean? At the moment you are still all over the place, you try too much. If you focus on one thing you are good at - and these are your really great observations with witty remarks - you can get famous. In order to vent your additional energy, you can create a hidden channel for your personal stuff, only for the eyes and ears of your loyal following. In other words you create a focused public act and separate that from everything else. Because your appearances at Böhmermann etc. were fails. You need a manager man.
Dutch are from a historical perspective the same people as Germans. But the Dutch country is also strongly influenced by France and the UK. We have the same stubborn, individual, liberal and freedom values as the French. While we love ships, trade and competition as much as the British. We are also forced to trade a lot because we are a small country and lie in the rhine delta region. But genetically we are just germans.
Might not be always true. You guys look different than Germans. My dutch girlfriend‘s genetic test showed that she has half english, half scandinavian genes, no german.
I’m German and I lived outside of Europe for about 7 years. Now I see my homecountry from a whole different perspective. It’s sad how much German people hate themselves. They always think it’s better somewhere else. But it’s not! Germany is a awesome country. The problem is, that German people take it for granted and don’t know about it. I went to the Netherlands many times. Everyone I know loves the Netherlands. But from my experience they don’t like us. I have experienced crazy things while my visits. But still. It’s gonna stop one day. The Netherlands are awesome and it’s a part of my childhood. We always went there on holidays.
Germany is indeed a beautiful country full of passionate and thoughful people, Patrick. As an American who has travelled and visited there, I can say it was wunderbar as an experience. Just as a person cannot live in the past, nations cannot either. It simply matters to learn what is needed. Then live well, and better. Best to y'all!
I think that is more something from the past. The collective memory of WWII has finaly dissapeared and with that the hostility. I am im my late 50ties, I remember it. My generation has changed for the better and fortunately younger generations don't have it at all. So its save now to visit The Netherlands ;) And yes, I agree and I find Germany a very nice and interesting country. I live in Switzerland near the German border and I travelled a lot especially through Bayern and Baden-Württemberg, a wonderfull area with beautiful culture, nature and very down to earth and warm people, we Dutch can learn from that.
@@wotanmituns33Germany is the big, powerful not totally different country. In constellations like this, the small country always objects the big country - like England with the other British countries. Same it true for the Swiss and the Austrian who just feels so tiny next to Germany.
Quite accurate. If I worked in a library I would probably also be a little angry at you when you would return a book 4 days late. Because other people cannot borrow the book since you were too unorganized / lazy / not caring to return the book in time. Yes, I just realized that my anger comes from collectivist thinking. Seems that I am German.
I am Dutch and was always too late, sometimes so late that I didn't dare to bring the books back anymore and didn't want to face them anymore.I have several books at home from the library but at least I payed the bill for fine and repacement of the books so I am the proud owner now🤣
It is not correct, but if it is the first time and you apologize ... There are just more important things to get angry or emotional about. An ill family member or a war in Ukrain for example.. Isn't it also about making small things to big and forget to focus on the important things in life? There are lot of ways to handle a situation like that more relaxed and still make your point. I remember when I was a kid I had to pay a little per day fee for every day I returned a book too late, so it didn't happen very much.
Yes, Dutch are definitely smarter and more "worldly" than Germans. This can be demonstrated by just one simple fact: the Dutch have been able to market Heineken, a truly shit and tasteless beer, all over the world and turn it into a global brand. Whereas the Germans, despite having created hundreds of good beers, didn't manage to market ONE beer globally.
I liked Heineken. I alwasy get it confused with Carlsberg (danish). I do think Carlsberg is very overrated. Heineken is not a gourmet beer like many of the german ones I like (Frankziskaner etc) ........but it's good as just a vanilla beer choice.
So funny, im 40yrs old and i am still stressed out the day i borrow something from the library. Its stressed me so out so much that i wasnt at the library for a decade: the stress! Hahahaha
4:32: a month ago something similar happened to me. For context, I'm still in my 20s. At a work meeting I arrive in the room looking clearly very tired because the night before I couldn't sleep well. A rumanian coworker looked at me and asked why I was so tired. I then replied jokingly "life is hard you know?" and laughed. My rumanian colleague got it, but Jesus, you should've seen the face of the 2 german women sitting next to her. They looked at me as if I was some sort of weird miserable alien and said to each other "this guy is very young and complains about life? He clearly does not know what a hard life is, wait until he has kids and he will see". The funny thing was that they were being really serious about it and were talking about me with me being less than 1 meter away. It was weird to be honest. I looked at my rumanian colleague thinking: wtf?.
As aGerman who just got to know somebody from the Netherlands yesterday, I will send him the video and ask him if it is as spot on as I think it is. 🤭 Funnily, I live on the countryside and here people break the rules all the time. But there is that one guy who does not join and calls the police and everybody hates him. I'm so scared to piss him off.
You are spot on in this Amsterdam vs Berlin examples 🤣 But I think its a mistake to compare that to the rest of these countries, a lot of them are not true everywhere (except the money bit, we all love money 😈)
Exactly Amsterdam is not really the Netherlands anymore its a touristy shit hole and most real Dutch hate being their. Sinds both Dutch culture and laws dont really count in their. Amsterdam is a basically build how Outsiders expect the Netherlands. So they come back and we steal more money from them. Like the average product is atleast 2× as expensive in Amsterdam. Their Arent many Dutch people in Amsterdam so they wouldnt know.
This will be another one of the great ones. The best so far was the one with Franz "Germans aren't efficient" and the one with Blackface in Netherlands
Yep, the Germans use it too. In Afrikaans, the Dutch's daughter language spoken in South Africa, they're called: 'oupa' and 'ouma', literally: 'old pa' and 'old ma'.
Wonderful summary - really great; well, i come from Bavaria and I think, the culture there tends a little bit more to the dutch side - you were in Berlin - it differs a little bit - thank`s a lot - "it`s a little bit funny"
Some points but be careful to generalise. The Netherlands is a mix of a lot of mentalities. I am from belgium, and in general we see also these stéréotypes . On the otherhand... Germany is really big and has also very different mentalities...
Amsterdam is not Dutch culture, as much as Berlin is not German culture. But I can relate to many things. Not everyting. The Dutch are stingy, but not obsessed with money. Americans are. Dutch people are happy to trade salary in for free time, for example (part time jobs is becoming the norm here).
So , are you considered the cool laid back Canadian? Do they feel as though you’re not stressed out enough so they call you Up with a list of rules that you could be breaking and try to stress you out about it? I just wondered how you fit in with these uptight people.
Dutch people are easygoing and funny. They have sense of humor and I have worked with Dutch people in IT field. They are fun, I could make jokes they would understand :D
I don't recognise the money focus at all. We're frugal. Just check how much we work rather part time, then full time, to have more time for friends and family. Also Dutch big city culture and rural cultures can differ quite a bit. Amsterdam in not the Netherlands. New York is not the US. Berlin is not all of Germany. Perhaps go live in Munich or Köln next. ;)
I’m dutch and the collectivist comment is total nonsense, dutch are super collectivist, exactly like how you describe germans: general public judges perceived inequalities all the time, and expect government to fix them
Spot on comparison! Living in Germany was like living in a big cage, trapped in the regulations and constantly polizei by everyone else... I unfortunately didn't get to see their soft side underneath their OCD S&M shell.
Lol Germany and bureaucracy. I been here so long that I don't even answer their letters and stuff. Everything lands in the bin. Eventually what ever they wanted from me(like paperwork) they do themselves I seriously do not have time or patience anymore for the German bureaucratic system. Its always this must still be done or that must be done. Infact the best is to call the offices in person and go there if possible and know the people personally then act like a fool and they do all the paperwork themselves. Very easy. And if not just write an email and cry and complain that I am low IQ and then they do everything themselves, problem solved. But you must be friendly and kind otherwise it wont work.
I don't know Dutch but believe me,after 7 years in Germany I can say Germans do LOVE money and they are really greedy. I bet the one who spread the rumor that Scottish are greedy was a German...
SO you lived in 2 cities that have absolutely nothing to do with the nation their in , as they are a tourist and imigrant citties that have absolutley noting to do with the culture or people of that nation.
Germans and humor, not a good mix. And after 5 years of being occupied by the Nazi's the world had to convince the Dutch, it's no longer ok to occupy Indonesia. That still annoys and puzzles me to this day. I guess no country is perfect.
I just wanted to think of a real funny comeback for the thing with Germans and humor, but then I started to think about the Indonesia bit and how horrible colonialism is, and then I didn't feel like laughing anymore... Dang it, you might be right. - someone from Germany
Je hebt niet zitten luisteren he. Je voldoet prima aan het beeld dat ze hebben over het ontkennen van de shit die NL gedaan heeft op de wereld. Niet vergeten dat de eerste slaven in Amerika door een Nederlandse boot zijn gebracht. Onder andere.
Hahahah as a half Dutch-half German person having grown up in both countries, this is spot on! I can totally feel exactly these differences 😄 And I kinda feel Germans are sweeter too, but Dutch are way more relaxed and cool haha 😄
play cool! hahahaha nobody cool here.
Dutch are cooler and more relaxed than the west Germans or east Germans? I not really beleive that.
This is absolutely spot-on! You're not just funny, you're also very insightful! I really laughed out loud hahahaha
Am now almost 8 years in Germany, my wife is a German, my kids are born here so one could say that I am not allowed to say anything bad about them BUT DEAR LORD, these people and their rules and their bureaucracy is killing me.

Oh god come back to Cologne or Düsseldorf. Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg is not healthy
Hahaha pa kad si oženio švabicu

So funny!
As a German who lived in NL for 4 years: You nailed it!
Is it true that the dutch are stingy?
@@medotedo8410 very true. You wouldnt believe it lol. But I guess, thats why theyre so rich ;)
@@medotedo8410Us Dutchies call that being smart with your money.
The rest of the world...stingy.
Ouch, little reality check for me there. 😂
Good analysis. The Dutch are not sensitive to hierarchy at all, Germans are very much.
No, just a little more than the dutch, but not "very much". "Very much" are Asian countris, the US, ...
Dutch are from a historical perspective the same people as Germans. But the Dutch country is also strongly influenced by France and the UK.

I lived in both countries too. You are spot on.

Whereas the Germans, despite having created hundreds of good beers, didn't manage to market ONE beer globally.
It s so we have you come to us to have it
They have their premium cars driving around in the whole world already. But the beer issue also makes me wonder.
I liked Heineken. I alwasy get it confused with Carlsberg (danish). I do think Carlsberg is very overrated. Heineken is not a gourmet beer like many of the german ones I like (Frankziskaner etc) ........but it's good as just a vanilla beer choice.
Who are more attractive the Germans or the Dutch?
Germans have BMW, Audi, Merc, Porsche
I lived in both countries and I like your take. thank you
I think if you would have moved to Bavaria instead of Berlin, your picture of Germans might have been different. They love money in Munich too.
Or in Baden-Württemberg
But they also take rules even more seriously.
Sounds like the Dutch and Americans are kindred spirits. $$$
New York was Dutch at one time
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank-you Daniel, your videos are the best!
Ooogh, I simply love that! All your expressions, they are brilliant!
As a german i have to say... you are totally right!!
This guy is what we call in the Netherlands a typical“Relnicht”. 😂
Hahahah I'm indonesian and lived with a dutch woman in a flemish speaking area in belgium. You described them perfectly! 🤣🤣
Coming from Sweden I can definitely feel more like the Germans but still fun to see some of the behaviours in NL after being here for 2 years 😂
I've lived in the south of Germany and now I live in Amsterdam and it is 100% like that HAHAHAH lmao
I was working in both countries, In the netherlands i felt more freedom for sure :D
