[–]2Fast2Finkel 62 points63 points ago

I understood the Dutch! I feel like a champion.

[–]FrisianDude 27 points28 points ago

I like how this is a(n unintentional) bilingual pun.

[–]telemachus_ 25 points26 points ago

Nice catch :P

For those that don't get it, Champignon is another word for mushroom in the Dutch language.

[–]FrisianDude 4 points5 points ago

And others, I realized after having posted. :P It's from French, after all, and also known in, for example, Deutsch and Nynorsk. Nice name, by the way, son of Odysseus.

[–]Jakabov 0 points1 point ago

It's probably another one of those things where it's called the same thing in every language except English. It's champignon in Danish, too.

[–]FrisianDude 0 points1 point ago

Possibly in English as well, via Normans, but rarely used anymore.

[–]deukhoofd 4 points5 points ago

I'm Dutch, and even I didn't catch that one o.0

[–]icelawlz 0 points1 point ago

same here

[–]Snudge 24 points25 points ago

For those curious:

P1: "Huggity Hug"(Hard to translate, but "een knuffel" is "a hug")

P2: "Goodday, mister Mushroom!"

P3: "Hello, Huggity!"

[–]FatCat433 32 points33 points ago

Oh, now I get it.

[–]Master_Mad 6 points7 points ago

Maybe 'Cuddlety Cuddle'?

As in cuddle toy.

[–]WellThankYouSir 0 points1 point ago

"een knuffel" is also a stuffed animal

[–]Bubbabeba 5 points6 points ago

[–]jeblis 18 points19 points ago

I know that not everyone sees posts the first time, but it feels like we're taking yet another lap around the internet.

[–]MrGoodbytes 9 points10 points ago

It's not about making sure everyone on the internet has seen it -- or using that to defend a repost. You're always going to have someone who hasn't seen it.

The point is to encourage new and original content.

Karmadecay will let you know if something has been posted. Some reposts are acceptable. The ones that were posted 8 months ago and got 2 votes. Yeah, that one willing to repost.

Otherwise, even if you've never seen it before, run it through Karmadecay. If it's "been around the block," move on. Try to find -- or better yet, CREATE -- something new to share. Keep the Reddit fresh.

[–]fzzzzzzzzzzd 5 points6 points ago

Time to post this hilarious "All your base song" I found on the internet. Hah-hah!

[–]mvhoute 1 point2 points ago

Have you seen that site with all the dancing hamsters?

[–]wdejr -4 points-3 points ago

Somebody hit the reset button

[–]TesticleToe -1 points0 points ago

Reset

[–]CarlTheHobo 18 points19 points ago

I think that's dutch.

Sorry guys, it's Belgian. Thank you Jdog-666.

Edit: was wrong, corrected.

[–]Platfoot 17 points18 points ago

Belgium is dutch. Except for the french speaking part of course.

[–]RoaldFre 9 points10 points ago

And the German speaking part, of course.

[–]steelpan 10 points11 points ago

Also don't forget about the swahili speaking parts.

[–]Platfoot 6 points7 points ago

Thats a very small part, but you're right, yes.

[–]ramblerman 2 points3 points ago

By that definition, America is english.

We speak dutch. There is a difference.

[–]Platfoot 0 points1 point ago

I know, with Belgium I meant the language. Groetjes uit Nederland :)

[–]nitneuq6 2 points3 points ago

Yes, it is.

[–]horseshorseshorsesho 9 points10 points ago

I think it's from Belgium. It's really Belgian humour.

[–]Tjeptjeptje 10 points11 points ago

To you and all those crazy enough to like Belgian humour I give you... Kabouter Wesley!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2tSeFeHt7I&feature=related

[–]megatimawesome 5 points6 points ago

Kabouter wesley is awesome.

[–]SporeSpood 3 points4 points ago

Dude, kabouter wesley is awesome! I've watched it for a long time here in Holland.

[–]horseshorseshorsesho 0 points1 point ago

Kabouter Wesley is famous in The Netherlands as well ;)

[–]TheWouter 0 points1 point ago

JEAH!

[–]freakylol 20 points21 points ago

Still dutch language though.

Ik hou van zwarte mannen! ♥

[–]iamstyx 9 points10 points ago

All of them?

[–]freakylol 6 points7 points ago

Allemaal. ;)

[–]raelrok 2 points3 points ago

[–]pascalkiller 1 point2 points ago

Ik hou van blanke vrouwen! ♥

[–]carrollr 3 points4 points ago

Humo, I believe?

[–]Red_Dog1880 0 points1 point ago

Yep, the artist is 'jeroom'

Best website ever.

As for his work, just type 'jeroom' in google.

[–]Gnermo 3 points4 points ago

Flemmish*

[–]will_upvote_anything 0 points1 point ago

This is a Dutch/Flemish dialect.

[–]SBCrystal 0 points1 point ago

It's called "Flemish", not Belgian.

[–]Jdog-666 1 point2 points ago

No it's Belgian, made by a Belgian cartoon artist called Jeroom.

[–]Tjebbe 2 points3 points ago

I love Jeroom for creating Ridder Bauknecht.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

Bau... Bauknecht, je staat op m'n zak!

[–]arienh4 3 points4 points ago

Like there's a difference. Flemish is the comical parody of the Netherlands.

[–]23mac 0 points1 point ago

Flemish is the comical parody of the Netherlands ಠ_ಠ die hollanders

[–]Colt_H -5 points-4 points ago

You're an idiot.

[–]arienh4 2 points3 points ago

Zegt degene die niet inziet dat ik absoluut niet serieus was?

[–]bogardi 3 points4 points ago

Can anyone translate?

[–]iGxVicious 14 points15 points ago

Knuffeltje Knuffel means Hugging Hug, he says Hi to Mr. Mushroom, He says Hi back.

[–]inb4deleteacc 4 points5 points ago

Small addition: A 'knuffel' is also the Dutch word for shit like teddy-bears, etc.

[–]Vinc3ntPh4m 2 points3 points ago

Hello mister toadstool! Good day [huggable?]!

Fin.

[–]wirespot 0 points1 point ago

[urinating dog, urinating dog]

[–]Seicair 1 point2 points ago

You made me laugh. Perhaps a bit too vague a reference, though.

Text search for urinating dog for anyone curious.

[–]wirespot 1 point2 points ago

He he, if even only one other person gets it and laughs it was worth it. :) Besides, I'm currently re-reading "Interesting Times" for the 3rd time and, well, I just had to, karma be damned. :P

[–]theCRAZYhorse_ -3 points-2 points ago

Messiah Mushroom, his death spores new life

[–]Ramscatcher9 0 points1 point ago

I think its even funnier thinking they are just speaking jibberish to each other.

[–]wolfman1214 0 points1 point ago

Natural selection can be, hilarious.

I read the title and expected Willy Wonka.

[–]georgeo -1 points0 points ago

[–]bazanko -1 points0 points ago

That mustache has a mushroom.

[–]zerg_rush_lol -1 points0 points ago

This is in the top-100 most reposted shit ever. This was even reposted on jj.am way back when it was the museum of tolerance and equality.

[–]VCRrepairman -1 points0 points ago

quick lets eat him and steal his power....then sliver around in the dirt for hours

[–]Good-day-sir -1 points0 points ago

Hello

[–]hatesyolo01 -1 points0 points ago

This is why I'm not courteous!

[–]HarlequinNight -1 points0 points ago

I still think that if this were translated to English, the mushroom still needs to say "Dag Knuffeltje!". It just adds to the WTF in such a lovely way.

[–]Sherruf -1 points0 points ago

YES, MORE DUTCH ON REDDIT.

Whoohoo!

[–]WendyLRogers3 -1 points0 points ago

Transcended by the Belgian Farting Pig Song.

[–]zombiefruits -1 points0 points ago

Here's a translated version I made a while back: http://i.imgur.com/x79EO.jpg Yeah it doesn't make much more sense when translated.

[–]SynthPrax -1 points0 points ago

I'm not... I can't with this. For some reason.

[–]Wildebeast1 -1 points0 points ago

Don't really need a translation to get this.

It would also go down well in in /r/funny too

[–]blackjack118 1 point2 points ago

Translation from Dutch

Cuddly Cuddle

'Hello Mr. Mushroom'

'Hello Cuddly'

[–]DoctorandusJ -1 points0 points ago

Only the Dutch...

[–]FrisianDude 4 points5 points ago

This is not at all unlikely to be Flemish.

[–]DoctorandusJ 0 points1 point ago

Okay then, only the Flemish. And maybe the Dutch.

[–]RICH_LITTLE -3 points-2 points ago

That guy better not say hello to my penis
