[–]MrRandomSuperhero 299 points300 points ago

Belgian humor, and by the looks of it I think it's about 6 years old.

[–]ReeG 29 points30 points ago

I think it's about 6 years old.

I think we had better than 16bit color 6 years ago so possibly older

[–]Haha_MadeYouLook 15 points16 points ago

That's because it's a scan from a magazine

[–]servohahn 10 points11 points ago

What is this "scan" you speak of?

[–]AgoAndAnon 6 points7 points ago

I think it means he took a photo of a printoff of a PDF with his phone.

[–]MrRandomSuperhero 6 points7 points ago

I'm basing it on the fact that Leterme (the guy) was our prime minister about 6-2 years ago (Not accurate though, plz don't kill me for it)

[–]notjasonlee 6 points7 points ago

6 to 2 years ago?

[–]MrRandomSuperhero 4 points5 points ago

Yes.

EDIT: Because he was our prime minister from (about) 6-2 years ago.

[–]Fozee 4 points5 points ago

It's confusing because one would generally say "2-6 years ago" because in that situation the numbers would always go from low to high, however the way you put it was actually interesting because it makes way more sense.

[–]hdooster 1 point2 points ago

saying 2-6 makes it sound like you're guessing a specific time between 2 and 6 years ago, while he means he was all of those 4 years prime minister.

[–]Quazz 0 points1 point ago

It's a year old or so actually. Just bad quality.

It was in Gat van de Wereld (humo)

[–]RHodeidra 41 points42 points ago

Is dit fake of is em echt zo een schaap ?

TRANS: (I'm Belgian)

Real of is he really that stupid ?

[–]davaca 61 points62 points ago

Remember when he sang the French national anthem in stead of the Belgian one? This really seems like a humo-esque parody of that.

[–]bluzark 22 points23 points ago

Don't know if is related to Humo but the question itself is listed as one of the most idiotic quiz show answers ever. Someone answered "Heil" to the question "What is Hitler's first name?" on the ITV's Family Fortunes game show.

°[article] for reference

I thought it was already obvious, but this confirms it isn't real.

[–]YoureTheVest 2 points3 points ago

just curious mate, what did you do to your link there with the °[]?

[–]bluzark 5 points6 points ago

well since you asked.. initially i wanted to just add "-[article]", but the - automatically turned into a bullet which messed with the spacing, so I decided to use °. then °[article] didn't make much sense so I added "for reference" and went with it :D

[–]Scaraban 3 points4 points ago

[–]Svanhildur 1 point2 points ago

Remember when he made a rather personal message on twitter public for anyone to see? He was flirting with this woman he met that day while he is actually married. And he is a member of the christian democratic party at the same time.

[–]Bruyn 0 points1 point ago

I totally forgot about that.

[–]RHodeidra 0 points1 point ago

yup yup, which is why I don't put this stupidity beyond him =D

[–]21785345 0 points1 point ago

I don't think that was him who sang the wrong national anthem. source: yes i'm belgian to.

[–]ImApigeon 2 points3 points ago

I'm 100% sure it was him. Source: my far superiour memory.

    [–]LukaCola -2 points-1 points ago

    I don't like in Belgium anymore but I still speak dutch fluently and I can't understand what you're trying to say in either languages.

    Why did you not translate "fake" to "valse" anyway? West vlaams is weird.

    [–]BrQQQ 8 points9 points ago

    'fake' is not a Dutch word but some people still use it in a Dutch sentence. It would have to be 'nep' in Dutch. I think if you replace 'em' with 'hij', the sentence will make sense to you. If it still doesn't, you probably don't speak Dutch as fluently as you think!

    [–]LukaCola 0 points1 point ago

    Yeah it was just a dialect thing, sounds even weirder in my head when it's written than it does in reality lol.

      I have trouble understanding landmasses as well.

      We are Belgian, divided in Flemish and French people (and a few germans) There is no Belgian language.

      [–]RolloTonyBrownTown 0 points1 point ago

      Sorry, typo. My point was I lived 3 mins from the border, speak fluent Dutch, and could never understand Flemish even though its so similar.

      [–]Azymuth 0 points1 point ago

      Ah, don't worry, I just found your typo funny.

      [–]RanShaw 0 points1 point ago

      I'm West-Flemish, and I can tell that the person writing that sentence isn't. Why would you assume so?

      The West-Flemish version of that sentence would be: Is da fake of istie echt zukken schoap? (Fake is very often used among young people instead of the Standard Dutch 'nep'.)

      [–]TiiGerTekZZ 0 points1 point ago

      Nah, west flemish would be: "e da fake of est ie echt zukkn kiekn(domn)" it depents where in W-Fl you live.

      [–]RanShaw 0 points1 point ago

      Yeah, well we don't use 'sheep' to refer to a stupid person, I just kinda translated.

      [–]TiiGerTekZZ 0 points1 point ago

      T'grappigste is we spreken allemaal vlaams(nederlands) en toch zijn we bezig in het engels tegen elkaar :p.

      "The funny part is, we all speak flemish(dutch) and yet we are speaking english to each other :p."

      (In this comment section*)

      [–]RanShaw 0 points1 point ago

      We wouldn't want the English-speaking people to feel left out, now would we?

      [–]LukaCola 0 points1 point ago

      Maybe because I don't understand west flemish?

      I left before getting a grasp on that dialect.

      [–]RanShaw 0 points1 point ago

      Then why are you immediately linking that person's utterance to our dialect straight away? If you don't know it, don't talk bad about it, ok?

      [–]LukaCola 0 points1 point ago

      I'm sorry my comment of "Weird" regarding a dialect of an already small language offended you. I'll try and be extra sensitive regarding dialects, no more "Pahk dah cah in hahvahd yahd" or any of that. Just for you.

      No but seriously. It was only off the top of my head. Why's it matter so much?

      In my head it sounded west-flemish, I haven't lived in Belgium for a long time so I was prepared to be wrong but so what? I'm just calling it weird, hardly an inflammatory comment.

          Flemish, Afrikaans, Nederlands, Dutch - all linguistic siblings.

          [–]Nashoo 6 points7 points ago

          The first two are derivations of Dutch. Dutch is called "Nederlands" in Dutch.

          [–]Quazz 1 point2 points ago

          Not really, Dutch and Flemish are just children of Diets. (like German, but they're more like cousins)

          Afrikaans on the other hand is relatively new.

          [–]slybob 0 points1 point ago

            Let me help you with that, it was during the storm after he mistakenly sung the French anthem instead of the Belgium one.

            Not a very clever man to be honest.

            [–]Nile90 0 points1 point ago

            So similar to Dutch that I initially thought it WAS Dutch. I don't speak it fluently, but I can definitely understand that question.

            [–]MrRandomSuperhero 0 points1 point ago

            It is basically the same.

            We have some words that are different, but by reading the context or just what word it resembles you can most of the time guess what it is. I'd say our languages are 99% the same.

              That's Yves Leterme, ex prime minister of Belgium, he is famous for singing the wrong Belgium nation anthem when he was asked by journalists to sing it(he sang the French one). And it's of course a fake.

              [–]Poezestrepe 31 points32 points ago

              As a Belgian, I can confirm this.

              Also, on the same day he accidentally sang the National Anthem of another country he was also texting on his Blackberry while attending mass at the Te Deum for the king. I'm sure some guys over at /r/atheism would get a kick out of doing just that, but then again I bet they aren't candidates for the Christian Democratic Party.

              [–]Cromiell 2 points3 points ago

              I could understand that some people in /r/atheism could be like this, but please don't put every atheist you meet under the same banner.

                the wrong Belgian national anthem?

                [–]Haha_MadeYouLook 16 points17 points ago

                To clarify: as Belgium has dutch, french and german as official language, our national anthem (the Brabançonne) has lyrics for these three languages (the music stays the same). Leterme was asked by a french speaking reporter to sing the french, but instead he sang the French national anthem: the Marseillaise, which sounds nothing like the Belgian national anthem. TL;DR: He sang the French national anthem instead of the Belgian one

                [–]apteryx_274 4 points5 points ago

                I think this has something to do with the french/dutch dispute over Fries, you see, fries with mayonaise are dutch, while fries with cheese are french, which leaves the Belgians in quite a pickle.

                [–]MrRandomSuperhero 7 points8 points ago

                Pickles have nothing to do with it.

                  Your usage is fine, but in America we usually follow "I've" with "got". I'm not sure why that is, but most Americans would have said "I've got a joke." If we didn't use got, we would have separated out the contraction to "I have a joke."

                  [–]killerbotmax 0 points1 point ago

                  Hmm... that's kind of interesting because "have" and "got" have the same meaning in the context. It's like saying 'ATM machine' or something, but doesn't make people go all downvote mad lol, because it's the recognised norm. Like "I could care less".

                  [–]ReeG 3 points4 points ago

                  I would instinctively say "I have a joke". I don't see anything technically wrong with "I've a joke" but it just feels wrong when I say it out loud.

                  [–]ElGoddamnDorado 1 point2 points ago

                  "I have a joke" would've worked fine. Technically speaking, you should only use I've when the contracted 'have' serves as an auxiliary verb, and not the main verb of a sentence. "I've got a joke" would've been fine too, since 'have' is being used as an auxiliary to the main verb 'got'.

                  Gunter Slaush is the best Gunter.

                  I was thinking of Gunther from Friends.

                  I love the Gunther penguins, And this bit always confused me since he has so many penguins named Gunther. How do we know which one is the most evil?

                  And additional re-save as GIF just for good measure.

                    This is actually a photoshop, because the guy answering questions is a former Belgian PM. He got famous for singing the French national anthem when a reporter asked him to sing the Belgian one. This seems to ridicule him on that.

                    his name is Walter Grootaers, the presenter of the Belgian version of the show

                    Note that "Grootaers" actually means big-arse.

                      A girl in my history class asked what Hitler's last name was. Everybody laughed, but stopped when we realized she was serious.

                      [–]Aftershock112 1 point2 points ago

                      This was the prime minister of Belgium "Yves Leterme". This is fake by the way.

                      While it is indeed well known that Hitler was named "Adolf Hitler", his father was not always named Hitler.

                      The fact that he could remember the name of the guy that conquered his country makes this very sad

                      Or so it would if it wasn't a parody pic.

                      [–]BulkLeather 0 points1 point ago

                      This reminds me of a girl I used to live with who once asked me what Hitler's last name was. Although she also asked me if tuna was a fish.

                      proof?

                      [–]Quazz 0 points1 point ago

                      It's a Belgian parody picture. Not sure when it was created (probably a few years ago), but it was in the parody section of a well known magazine anyway.

                      [–]elkku 0 points1 point ago

                      It's real, but it's from radio not that program.

                      edit: missed a space...

                      [–]Quazz 0 points1 point ago

                      Yes, the question and answer are real, but this picture itself isn't.

                      The guy was never even on the show and neither was that question, heh.

                      In my honors level world history class in high school, one of my classmates asked what Hitler's last name was the day before the final exam. We had been focusing on WWII for the majority of the class.

                      [–]NegativeChirality 0 points1 point ago

                      Better question: what was Hitler's middle name?

                      [–]gmikoner 1 point2 points ago

                      The answer to that, TIL, is Schickelgruber.

                      fake and gay? the show is in german, so he is probably german. Why would he say that the first name is heil? heil means hail.... he cant possibly think that a man has verb for a name...

                      The difference is not that big in this case though..

                      "Was war der Vorname von Hitler?", especially when pronounced since "Vorname" actually has the two long vowels the dutch write out.

                      [–]Sethic 0 points1 point ago
