The contestant doesn't speak Dutch. Being Dutch, they all speak English and the audience get why the jokes are wrong.

We usually get a few European contestants on these sort of show who speak very poor English. We don't speak any foreign languages so we just laugh at them  :Embarrass:

That's the really weird thing. Even though barely anyone's laughing and everyone seems awkward he just keeps going :bleeding:

What about the one dude speaking w/ an American accent?  Is he Dutch too?

Sheilbh

Apparently he's American:

He may speak Dutch after seven years of judging the Dutch/Belgian version of 'So You Think You Can Dance' :lol:

Yeah that really was pretty awkward.

That guy is pretty much the lowest common denominator on Dutch TV. He's basically expected to behave like this when asked to be in a jury.

But even so that was pretty embarrassing  :Embarrass:

You know what's embarrassing?  That these goddamn reality talent shows just will not go away.  That's an embarrassment for all of humanity though, not just the Dutch or that racist dude. :)

:bleeding: The poor guy :(
He is quite Susan Boylesque. Totally doesn't look the part.
The first no. 39 with rice joke just didn't make sense. And from there he sticks with it....

I'm sure he was referencing ordering Chinese food.  Over here at least, it's common to order by number (since white devils are afraid to try to pronounce the Chinese name of dishes).

That's how you order Chinese food here, they don't even bother given then names, just numbers.

Yeah, people sometimes do that in Europe too. But it still made no sense as a joke

Seriously?  I've no idea what you mean.
Did I miss something?
Did the guy say his age was 39? The reference makes perfect sense, that was never an issue, the joke however doesn't.
