  As a Dutch citizen, I must say, this is probably the best impersonation of a Dutch accent done by a foreigner I've heard in all my life.

  Being a Dutchman myself, I agree it's a bloody good English impression of Dutchmen speaking English

  This is the best imitation of a Dutch accent I have ever heard. Not only is the accent appropriate to the Netherlands, it's even specifically appropriate to an Amsterdam accent. Sheer genius!

  It's amazing how funny Enfield is in this sketch without saying a word.

  I had a buddy (English bloke) who was passed out drunk out front of a bar on the Leidesplain. Police picked him up, brought him up to his flat (two flights up) about a km away from the bar and put him in his bed. even took his shoes off. true story. this was in 97..maybe things have changed

  I&apos;m a dutch (military) policeman, and I find this hilarious. Not to mention incredibly accurate.

  I first saw this sketch and the accompanying one in 1997 when I was studying in the Netherlands, and I nearly wet myself because it was so accurate. &nbsp;The accent, the attitude, everything. &nbsp;Perfectly Dutch. &nbsp;Love the country, love the language, love it all.

  These two are absolute geniuses. Every sketch they tackle is accurate. They go into deep character detail to get the feeling and expression just right.

  I grew up in Holland, and I swear all Dutch policemen looked like that in the &apos;80s and early &apos;90s.<br>
