Miserable Fat Belgian Bastards

There's more to Belgium than waffles you know. "Small potatoes" come to mind.

As a proud Belgian, I for one am relieved that my country will exist for at least a bit longer. And so, presumably, are a small army of Anglo-Saxon comedians. Bless 'em.

Oh, and let me get this comment out of the way before any "clever" viewer feels the need to make it: "I am offensive and find this very Belgian."

@bwhitcomb2011 You can talk shit about Belgium, the size of our country, our politians, or our non-existing contributions to pop-culture as much as you like, but when you talk shit about our beer, you're in for it! We're going to send our entire landforce after you in a taxi!

The British don't hate the Belgians, we just find Belgium a funny word. I hadn't realised how funny until seeing this though.

The French on the other hand...

@BadgersDieInAFire Thank you, I understand they have different dialects in their languages. I lived & worked in Germany for many years & have driven through Belgium many times when travelling back to the UK. Like I said, Belgium is a little EU on its own & like the EU parliament, they sometimes have difficulty understanding each other there too. :-)

@MrCriminalwatch the languages used in belgium are officially dutch, french and german but if you were to put a belgian dutch speaker and a dutch speaker from the netherlands they wouldn't always understand each other even though both have dutch as their official mother language.

@DanTheGerbil360 The joke is about the little difference between Flemish and Dutch, ironic that Americans do the same the English language... kinda shooting themselves in the foot lol

@sorryvergeten What do you mean?

[BadgersDieInAFire]

actually when the Germans wanted to go through Belgium to France, Belgium stopped being neutral and joined GB,France and Russia against the Germans. and to everyone who still don't know Belgium is half French speaking, half Dutch speaking and a little part is german, they are actually not 100% the same as the original languages, more a dialect of them.
