The 4 perfect jokes by Peter Pannekoek

Peter Pannekoek

The New Year's conference stirred quite a bit. For example, Lange Frans threatened comedian Peter Pannekoek, the conspiracy theorists had something to think about, I will never trust the button of a traffic light again, and the pauper gnome went viral. Four jokes that we want to go over, even though there were many more.

On stage was a Pannekoek who makes minced meat of Lil Kleine, because he is ruining the reputation of the little man. As a woman, you have one reassurance when dating a little man: they won't hurt you. They can't protect you, so when it comes down to it, it's every man for himself, but you do have that reassurance. Pannekoek therefore resolutely renames Lil Kleine to pauper gnome due to the situation in Ibiza. An observant viewer quickly created a fresh URL and voilà: www.pauperkabouter.nl is live. The nice thing about the link is that it immediately redirects you to the donation page of the Blijf Groep, a foundation dedicated to stopping domestic violence.

The government and ICT
It wouldn't be the New Year's conference of 2021 if the corona crisis wasn't thoroughly addressed. The government had to face it, but so did the counter-voice. In particular, the conspiracy theorists who believe that the government is personally injecting chips into arms. Pannekoek is clear about it, because the government has never been able to get an ICT system up and running easily. Hear hear, even in 2022 it is still impossible to email the Tax Authority, so that chip doesn't work in advance.

Angry Lange Frans
‘But I also think in the future, if you have a problem, you don't go to the hospital. You go to doctor Lange Frans. Who doesn't believe in medicine, but does believe in UFOs. Lange Frans, the only rapper where you can hear the dyslexia in the lyrics,’ sneers Peter Pannekoek in his show. Lange Frans was not amused and sent him the poetic yet remarkable text: ‘I’ll see you when I see you.’.

The button at the crossing
Sometimes I pressed the button at the traffic light twice and then I did it for safety a third time. Afraid as I was that with that second time I had turned off the first press (?). But that all turns out to be a big lie, Pannekoek tells. The button is to keep us sweet; in reality, there are loops in the ground. Want to know why people from now on ride their bikes very softly back and forth at the traffic light? Just watch that New Year's conference again, it's all Peter Pannekoek's fault.

On Twitter, things are as sour as usual and they accuse Pannekoek of stealing jokes. In that case, I'm just glad he bundled them, saves a whole year of rummaging through the drain of social media.
