every time I go to language forums (a few besides this one), the Dutch-speaking lot is the most arrogant, small-minded and quarrelsome of all!

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ

Lol, how the hell have you somehow managed to miss the infamous French v Spanish spik-on-spik on these forums?

But those two never pretend to be innocent.

Here are some examples of Dutch (Hollandic) humour which is renowned for its extreme flatness.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOqcQfd6jX8 (Robert Muntz puts in action an idea that has been running through the minds of many, but he's the first to actually dare it; inspired by the election of Jorg Haider in Austria. I doubt you can pull off such tricks in Germany or France, but Austrians are innocent enough)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2H6SXaWxuo (after receiving shocked reactions by ignorant tourists seeking to 'convert' us to their hypocritical politically correctness fighting only symbols, they have decided to just make fun of the link to slavery)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCpRW0II8Dw (Rob Muntz making fun of Flemish marginals. The man with glasses is a loser who has to pay for sex and a porn addict. The old woman cannot speak Standard Dutch, and probably didn't receive education and is illiterate).

Flemish humour is also dark, and also often about humiliating unsuspecting people, but more back-stabbing instead of straight-forward.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QksqWRqEfy0 (Man Bijt Hond is a programme where often unsuspecting people are overwhelmed by a camera group, often ridiculed, only for the amusement of the viewer)
Flemish terrorizing innocent French citizens:

Now you've finally discovered where we're actually REALLY about, rests me one question: how's the humour of your culture?

Oh! lest I forget:

Anyway, no one is innocent. I do, however, still wonder which arrogant Dutch/Flemings you've met besides me (and for my part tis jokingly anyway).
