This video has more jokes than any other of my videos so far. Please let me know if you liked it or whether you think it detracts from the video as a whole? Feedback, as always, is highly appreciated!

"And you know it is Dutch, BECAUSE THERE IS A BICYCLE ON THE SHIP!!!" 😂😂😂

People from new Zeeland watching this realising they've found old Zeeland

Then, everything changed when the North Sea attacked

A lot of people think that we're high but we are actually pretty low!

north sea: exists Dutch: ITS FREE REAL ESTATE

This video must have taken FOREVER to create, all those animations and contextual(!) pictures in a YouTube video. I'm glad YouTube algorithm finally recommended something nice this time, keep it up!

@6:10 I am Dutch and read a lot of stories about "the flood", but never before heard about this ship being used to "plug the hole". Quite an interesting story. Thanks!
-
I'm still shocked that a channel this good has not even 100k subscribers, truly an under appreciated channel for all the work put in these videos
-
Like the Dutch Prime minister always says, The Dutch are a superpower in pocket size!
-
All your memes about Belgian infastructure caused our dysfunctional government to start massive infastructure works, now we got jams from Antwerp to Brussels. Thanks lol.

US school children all read the story of the Dutch flood of ‘53, and the part that haunts me still is when a farmer goes out to his barn at night and hears breaking wavelets... The two major tsunamis of ‘04 and ‘11 had the decency to arrive in daylight when everyone was dressed and could see.

1:38 But then everything changed when THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED.

Sea: exists The Dutch: Vecht met mij, maat!

This video has changed my day. From reading about the riots and general collapse that seems to be occuring in America to seeing this video which outlines the potential of what humanity can achieve, it has made this day better for me. Thank you <3

"We've come full Delta." Absolute gold!

I worked for RD Shell in a few mega projects. Those Dutch are excellent engineers. When they design something, they don't leave ıt to chance. They always do magnificent engineering works. I also admire their culture.
