1. First link doesn't work.
Second one was not in English, and the audience did not seem amused. It looked rude.

That apparently amuses you.

There's a few minutes I wasted that I'll never get back.

3. Don't be so quick to judge
The video is also available with subtitles but I found them distracting. This was a set up. A joke on the host.

Please excuse the hell out me for wasting any of your minutes in the DU lounge.

8. Yes, exactly
I'm wondering if you thought I was insulting you about living in Nebraska in your previous post. Just in case: I wasn't being mean or malicious, I was just kidding around.

And so you know, had I thought that dutch video was for real I wouldn't have posted it. It wouldn't have been funny, just uncomfortable.

Most people here I think have a decent amount of sensitivity and aren't mean people. I try to keep that in mind if I come across something said that is ambiguous or just doesn't seem right. I might spend a minute asking them if my suspicion is correct before launching an insult.

9. Yes, you did insult. Even after a couple chances.
I don't care about the videos. Making fun of people is just not funny to me.

We agree, I'd might ask someone before launching insults.

2. 2nd
The clip is often mistaken for being real, and was showcased on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Star Channel news as being so.

The fictitious laughing presenter "Erik Hartman" is a character played by Tom Van Dyck, a Flemish comedian and actor. The two guests are portrayed by Lucas Van Den Eynde (as Valère) and An Miller (as Marijke). The full version of the sketch shows the Hartman character as a radio DJ looking back upon the giggling incident that had caused him to be fired." - Wiki

6. I don't think either one of them is funny now
it was a prank. I understood it to be a joke on the host and it made me laugh to see him totally lose control.
