How it feels

A comedy sketch series follows a group of anti-social youths from a small Dutch village. The characters use crude slang and get into silly, over-the-top situations.

What happens

New Kids is a Dutch comedy sketch series about a group of anti-social youths from Maaskantje, a village in the southern province of North Brabant. It was created by Steffen Haars and Flip van der Kuil. The show was first shown on Flabber.nl, a Dutch blog, as a succession to De Pulpshow, which aired in 2001. Later, it was picked up by 101 TV and Comedy Central. It was named New Kids on the Block for the first two seasons. The show became highly popular in both the Netherlands and Germany and spawned two full-length movies, New Kids Turbo and New Kids Nitro. Most of the locations shot in New Kids are filmed in the nearby village of Den Dungen. The main characters habitually use the word 'kut' (Dutch slang for vagina), usually at the end of a sentence.
