It's Official: I love Dutch People (read post before watching video)

Culturally, I have heard that Dutch people lacked any form of a sense of humor. As a result, I have often wondered how I would adjust to this type of environment... until I stumbled across this video (Ok... I didn't actually "stumble" across it - it was referred to me). To my surprise, this Dutch talk show host reacts precisely the same way I would have in this situation! There is something uncontrollably funny about this guests high pitch voice. Call me mean, insensitive, or childish... thats fine, but above all, I'm glad to see that I might just get along with these people after all!

Because of the squeaky voice... every time this guy starts talking the host starts cracking up!

I still don't get it???

OK... This guy (the guest) has a squeaky, high pitched voice, which is funny...but you shouldn't laugh at him. WHY??? because it's rude to laugh about someones flaws, especially right in there face. However every time he (the guests) starts to talk, the host cant help but laugh at him (thats just plain funny). The host is trying to hold it back, as not to offend, but obviously cant do it!

I cant tell if you are messing with me or if you really don't get it

Sorry, I was messing with you. Britt and I were watching it last night and laughed so hard we woke up the kids.

Scott, when in doubt, he is messing with you!

I am Dutch, but this guy isn't; he's Belgium.
I have seen this before and it's really funny, however it's not true. They're all actors.
