He's speaking Flemish, which is a dialect of Dutch (and not a separate language), though he's got a pretty thick old dude's accent. This is actually my city, but Flemish isn't my mother tongue so I'm having a little trouble following him. Flemish dialects are so distinct that sometimes people from Gent have trouble understanding someone from Brugge, two Flemish cities which aren't even 25 miles apart.

Fun trivia: The KAA Gent Buffaloes got their name a hundred years ago when Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show came through Gent!>> ^legacy0100:

And what language are they speaking? Obviously needs a tag of that country.

Flemish, then?... Practically Dutch.

Thanks, Gentlemen!

Dannym3141, I was watching on vtm, a Flemish station in Belgium.
Ajkido, it's soccer. The live action never stop for commercials. So when they choose to show one goal over and over again, and not another even though the game is tied, it's bias. Their half-time commentators (who were Belgian, not English) were all sitting at a tabled draped in a giant English flag.


Call me crazy, but theyre likely to show the goal where the defence was sliced open by the non-scoring striker allowing the controversial captain to score a good goal rather than the one where the goalie dropped it.

De Neveneffecten is a comedy show on Canvas (logo top left), a Flemish station that's funded (or subsidized at the least) by the government. This particular sketch is a weird parody of a kid's show on Ketnet (logo top right), which is pretty much the same channel, just before 20h.

Yup, sounds like Flemish to me, judging by the similarities with German, although I might be wrong. Great delivery by Eric Idle though.

"In De Gloria was a Flemish sketch show by Jan Eelen that ran on the Canvas television station in the period 2000–2001. The show featured fictitious television reports presented as if they were real. In De Gloria was a satire on reality television and human interest programs featuring ordinary people, portrayed by the cast. The title translates to "in the glory".

I was thinking, "This can't possibly be real," especially when the high-pitched singer came on at the end. Pretty damn funny though.

She also puts fruit with a chicken in the oven dishwasher, referring to another misunderstanding.

You guys are debating whether or not it's French, while I want to know, what is in that log? There's gotta be more to the story. That log must be the famous Loire Valley Leprechaun Log or something. I mean, that's an awful lot of hernia-inducing labor over a log. Maybe the log is made out of gold or palladium. Or maybe it's the magical All-Day-Erection Log. Or maybe it's the log that causes fair maidens to fall hopelessly in love with you. Maybe there are magic mushrooms growing in the log! Endless questions. The least of which is, "Hey, Tater, you think they's talkin' French or Flemish?"

They're Belgian, speaking Flemish, and are both semi-celebrities, the blond one an ex Miss Belgium. The blond girl tells the brunette not to think about it too much and just release her legs, which the brunette does but forgetting to hold on to the pole with her arms. The Dutch think that most Belgians are stupid. The Belgians think that this clip is staged.
