The Dutch satirical news show Zondag met Lubach (literally, Sunday with Lubach) is a show in the same vein as Last Week Tonight . The week after Trump's inauguration, it made a short clip to introduce the Netherlands to the new US administration. The clip is irreverent, but, to those with a suitable sense of humour, hilarious - see for yourself on youtube.
This went viral, leading even to a White House petition to make the Netherlands second.

Apparently, this video kicked off a bit of a habit amongst satirical shows in Europe to create alternative videos promoting their own country. Here [nos.nl] is an article containing Germany, Belgium (with Belgian's greatest band ever: ABBA. It's true. Alternative fact.), Denmark, and Switzerland. If anyone has more: do share!

Yeah, noticed those this morning. Both the Belgian and German aren't that funny. They mostly badmouth the Netherlands, and are hardly creative in themselves (although the Belgian, requesting the 10th place was a bit funny though).

Actually, there is now a site (made by the Germans), dedicated to list all the introduction videos made by each country.

This was all over in the news here last week and radio shows asked the parks introduced (Ponypark Slagharen and Madurodam) if they noticed something from the attention they got. Their comments:
Ponypark Slagharen: They hardly have any ponies in the park left and are replaced by other attractions.
Madurodam: In the winter they only have very few visitors (mostly schools), but noticed increased visitors on their site. They''l have to wait until the summer to see if it had effect.

What the heck is "make the Netherlands second" supposed to mean? I'm at work and not going to watch a YouTube video.
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"
