Well, @Mars ... I wasn't able to make that deadline, but what I can do is make a thread dedicated to Dutch memes! Of course in some (or most) instances this may need some explanation and context, if not translations, that's why I have come up with the following iceberg:
We'll start out with some pretty mainstream and light self-explanatory stuff, such as funny language quirks, and well-known stereotypes.
Gradually we'll work out way down to below surface, where the memes get more obscure and more crazy, but are still essential to fully understand and appreciate Dutch lore and humor. Don't worry, I'll hold your hand along the entire way.
There is only so much one can put in an image like that, so it won't be limited to just the things on there, that is just a selection of the top of my head! We'll see where things go. Also, for the sake of keeping the main focus on humor, I intend to keep politics as much as possible out of this. Especially since in 11 days from now there are the main elections in The Netherlands, else that would take the focus away from the more funny stuff. If anything interesting happens in the coming weeks with said elections, I'll post about it in the appropriate forum section.
That being said, below the green line (>if only you knew how bad things really are), the most bottom part of the image, things get a little NSFW there. You are more than welcome to ask me about any of that by private message, including things that go beyond the funnies.
Without further ado, let's fire this thread away! Music, maestro!
