W817	comment	W817 (phonetically pronounced Wacht eens even) was a popular Flemish youth sitcom, which originally ran on Ketnet from 1999 until 2002. The series revolves around a six (ex-)college students, who live together at Wijk 8, number 17. The series was renowned for combining comical (and occasionally absurdistic) storylines with serious (and often painful) topics.The main cast of the series comprises: Steve Mertens: The openly gay housefather of the group. He's often the most level-headed and responsible member of the group and studies sports science. Even though he's level-headed, Steve does have a neurotic side, which (among other things) expresses itself in Steve's Neat Freak behaviour. Birgit Baukens: The (somewhat) ego-centrical go-getter of the group. Her goal in life is to become a career woman with a handsome (and somewhat loving) husband, but this turns out to be more difficult than she expected. Birgit is good-looking and fashionable, but also bossy and to the point. She a bit of a Foil to Steve and (occasionally) aids him in running the household. ZoÃ« Zonderland: The kind-hearted party animal of the group. She was originally rather shy,note according to flashbacks of when she first entered the house but went through a drastic personallity change after she went to her first party. She's cheerful and enthousiastic, but also compassionate and kind. ZoÃ« studies psychology and isn't afraid to analyse her (quirky) housemates. Tom Derijcke: The irresponsible Lazy Bum of the group, who aspires to be, and eventually becomes, a (somewhat) succesful writer. Tom often spends his days watching TV and eating potato chips on the couch. He used to date Birgit, but she (eventually) dumped him, as they weren't compatible. He often tries to take shortcuts when he wants to reach a goal, but usually ends up failing regardlessly. After being left at the altar, Tom writes a succesful book, which is criticized for its writing style and abundance of (grammatical) errors. In response, Tom goes back to college (together with Jasmijn) to study communication sciences. Akke Impens: The most eccentric member of the group, Akke is a socially awkward computer nerd with several weird hobbies and an extensive imagination. He's usually sweet and innocent (sometimes even child-like), but has an alternative personality (Berend), who's quite a charmer. His best friend is Carlo, a fellow computer science student, with whom he starts up a domotics bussiness called BORF. He also has an equally quirky family, of whom he tells one odd story after the other. Carlo Stadeus: Akke's best friend and a bit of a Casanova Wannabe. He's the last member of the group to take his residence in the house (first temporarily during season 2, then permanent from season 3) and stands out because of two things: his quirky hijinks with Akke and his obsession with good-looking women (in particular, Birgit). He's as much of a computer nerd as Akke and the two spend most of their time together. While he tries to seduce Birgit at least once per episode, he never succeeds, until the second-to-last episode of the series. As the series progresses, it's revealed that Carlo has a troubled relationship with both his sister and his father, the latter of which (among other things) drove him to move in with Akke. Jasmijn de Ridder: The teenage daughter of the landlord and the series' Drop-In Character. She usually hangs around the house and interjects herself in whatever is happening at the moment. While she was initially seen as a bit of a bother by the rest of the group, she eventually becomes a part of the gang. Jasmijn is energetic and (somewhat) childish, but rather compassionate as well. She eventually is (somewhat) replaced by Kim, after her father decides to sell the house to another landlord. She, nevertheless, stays a part of the main cast and even becomes one of Tom's class mates in college. Kim de Hert: The teenage daughter of the second landlord and (somewhat) of a substitute to Jasmijn. She initially takes advantage of her status as the landlord's daughter, but warms up to group rather quickly. She's not as loud and energetic as Jasmijn, but she's far more cunning. She eventually becomes friends with everyone in the house, except for Jasmijn, who sees her as an unwelcome replacement.The series had a knack for introducing a plethora of (often) quirky guest characters, who (most of the time) played a short-lived role in the series. The series was also known for its unorthodox storylines, which occasionally involved imaginary characters. For example, Steve joined a (90's styled) boyband (Exposure!), Tom dated Vampirella, Birgit dated Ken Carson and Carlo made a hit song about pita shawarma called "ZoÃ« eet pita". These storylines were interspersed with regular sitcom stories about work, relationships, (failed) marriages, pregnancies, venereal diseases and even death. Hence, despite the occasional weirdness, this show was probably the closest thing Flanders had to Friends.The series is still re-run regularly on Ketnet and has been one of its programming staples for nearly twenty years. Its success also meant the breakthrough for several of the actors who played in the series, some of whom continued to work for Ketnet afterwards. A movie, 8eraf, was announced in 2020, but only opened for limited viewing. The series also had two spiritual successors: En daarmee basta! and Click-ID.

While he initially truly wasn't feeling well, he milks it for every ounce he can. The episode ends with Tom being taken to the hospital by Steve (who's fed up with his behaviour) and getting a rather unpleasant physical exam. Birgit also wants to do this so she doesn't have to go to work (as she feels overwhelmed by it) and even asks Tom for advice about it. Tom, in turn, appears to be quite an expert at the matter. She eventually ends up not going through with it.

He has the first one after drinking an entire bottle of laxatives, in order to clear his guts for a hotdog eating contest. He has the second one after the eating contest. Jasmijn gets one as well, when she practices modelling poses in the bathroom with Birgit. Carlo also has one when Birgit's moves out, after he's locked inside a crate inside the moving van.

Another episode has Akke and ZoÃ« in a compromising position on the couch (Accidental Kiss and all), when Akke's girlfriend Maaike enters the room. It takes the remainder of the episode for ZoÃ« to convince Maaike that she and Akke are just friends. When Steve gets a new boyfriend, he (eventually) suspects that he's cheating on him and follows him to a bar, where he sees him kiss another guy on the cheek. The other guy, however, turns out to be the boyfriend's boss, who he had a meeting with. The relationship, nevertheless, does end right then and there, as Steve's boyfriend feels like he couldn't trust him anymore.

The tone of the first season is also a lot raunchier (which includes the prevalent use of foul language in the dialogue, something that was later toned down or Bowdlerised), and in some way more grounded and realistic, as the prevalence of more absurd and wacky humour and sequences tended to increase in the later seasons.

When Akke finds out that he forgot to study a part of his coursework (which he already recycled), he tries to borrow Carlo's copy. Carlo, who has a lot of cramming to do, (partially) becuase of Akke's environmental conciousness, responds to him with this trope. Carlo is fond of these, as shown when he loses at "Penguin Panic". Bert, ZoÃ«'s (psycho) ex-boyfriend is also prone to doing this. Carlo does this again, when professing his love (or lust) for her.

This is predominantly because she's much more preoccupied with her make up than with becoming a good soldier. When she decides to quit after one day, she furthermore keeps the uniform because of this trope.

It eventually turns out Carlo didn't care about the money, but that he took the job because he'll be the boss of five hot secretaries instead. This is the reason Birgit became Tom's manager, according to a journalist who wrote an exposÃ© on Tom. When she tries to confront him about it, the journalist turns out to be a hottie and Birgit falls in love with him. She, then, redoubles her efforts to show him that not she, but Tom, is the money hungry one, only to fail spectacularly (in no small part because Tom isn't interested in money at all).

In the same episode, Birgit makes up one, when she chickens out of confronting a burglar (who turned out to be Tom). When Akke infiltrates a group of hackers, his excuse to suddenly leave is to state that his mother made fried fish.note a phrase commonly used in Flemish to ask someone to leave It becomes even funnier when one of the hackers suddely remembers that his mother made fried fish too and leaves as well. When Tom asks Bert to come return and become one of ZoÃ«'s patients (for a bet), Bert starts to wise up a bit and asks Tom and Carlo why they're holding their nose.

Akke is quick to point out how most of her life seems to revolve around money and status (by thinking she was making a joke). That same episode has Tom and Jasmijn watching an episode of Friends. As they're watching, Jasmijn comments about how unrealistic sitcoms like those are, stating that the main characters of Friends (who have similar character archetypes as the main characters of this show) would never live together in one house. It shows that even the showrunners saw the similarities between this show and Friends. In the episode where Tom announces his novel, the rest of the gang (except for Jasmijn) eventually gets mad at him for writing about them and lying about their personalities. Steve, nevertheless, initially sticks up for Tom (citing artistic freedom and freedom of speech), until Birgit reads out an unflattering passage about him, which causes this trope in full force.

W817 / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: One season three episode has two in quick succession. When Carlo asks Tom about his looks, Tom states that he reminds him of a certain actor, "Jan De...". Tom most likely meant Jan Decleir, who is the father of the actor who plays Carlo, Jenne Decleir. Shortly after, Carlo asks Jasmijn about her Celebrity Crush. She, in turn, replies that she has a crush on Staf Coppens, the actor who plays Oswald in the series. One of the following episodes had Tom writing a script for his own TV-series, based on his own life (and that of his housemates). However, when Birgit told him that she found his script boring, Tom had to come up with ways to spice up his script, which lead to several shout-outs to James Bond, Gone with the wind, The untouchables (which was an idea of Carlo) and even a musical about Snow white and the seven dwarves, with Steve playing Snow white. The final episode of season three had the gang (who were about to get evicted) have their "last supper" biblical style, with Steve posing as Jesus. One of the season 5 episodes has Steve daydreaming about driving ZoÃ«'s new motorcycle in a cool leather outfit. This daydream quickly becomes a shout out to The Village People, when a construction worker, a police officer and an indian walk by and start singin "YMCA" together. When Steve wakes up from his daydream, he sees that the music vidoe for "YMCA" was on the TV, which probably influenced his dream. Another season five episode has Carlo come up with schemes to rescue Birgit for Tom (who owes her a debt, after she saved him). The first scheme he conceives draws inspiration from "Psycho", with Carlo as the killer and Birgit as the victim. The second scheme is a direct reference to "Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner". With Tom saving Birgit (The Road Runner) from a painted tunnel, before getting hit by a train coming from said tunnel.

Also happens to Carlo in season three, when his bath is interrupted twice by Steve and the others barging in to look for a leak while he's getting undressed and subsequently not leaving, despite his (not-so) subtle protestations. At the end of the episode, he eventually manages to take a bath in peace. This also happens to Birgit when Akke and Carlo walk in on her while she's in the bath. Then again, she did get depressed in the previous episode and Steve tasked everyone to keep a watchful eye on her (which Carlo took literally). The gang also uses this trope to hide a pirate radio station from the police in their bathroom. As the police officer enters the bathroom to search it for the radio station, he stands face-to-face with ZoÃ«, who's only wearing a modesty towel. The officer quickly looks away, while holding his hand in front of his eye, and when ZoÃ« asks him if he doesn't want to sneak a peak, he quickly walks out embarrassed.

Happens to Tom again when he tries to write a novel, shortly after starting a (sexual) relationship with Ellen. He even resorts to locking her in the bathroom, as to not be distracted any more. This was listed as one of Carlo's reasons not to employ Birgit at AKA. Apparently, he distracted him so much, that it kept him of his work. Carlo eventually resolves this by practicing some restraint. Apparently, ZoÃ« induces this in her professors to pass her exams. She advises Steve to do the same, only for Steve to respond that most of his professors aren't gay. It eventually turns out that it didn't help much, as ZoÃ« actually got a higher grade the one time she didn't wear a sexy outfit to an exam. Near the start of season five, Steve gets into a relationship with Gabriel, but he quickly decides that they aren't right for eachother. Every time Steve tries to break up, however, he gets too distracted by Gabriel's sexy body, that his mind goes completely blank and he ends up in bed with him. He eventually solves this by making Gabriel wear a thick coat and a scarf, removing his sex appeal.

W817 / int_f19e8a55	comment	Bad "Bad Acting": The show gives an good in-universe example, when Jasmijn is practicing for her audition for the conservatory together with Birgit. Both of them act (very poorly) that they're a falling apple, with neither of them getting even close to the mark. This becomes especially humorous when they show their act to Akke and Carlo, who think they're pretending to be a cut phone wire and a slice of brown bread respectively and laugh their asses off when they state that they were falling apples.

In his first prank, he "surprises" Ellen with a confetti bomb, which merely gets him exiled from their room. In the follow-up, Tom and Jasmijn have a dispute about credit, causing Tom to become (somewhat) paranoid for a revenge prank from her. When he subsequently talks to Ellen (at ZoÃ«'s advice), Tom thinks that Ellen and ZoÃ« are in on the (non-existent) prank and he decides to get back at Ellen by pouring a glass of champagne on her head, causing her to storm off in outrage. Nevertheless, he eventually makes it up to her through an apology video.

Akke seems to be full of these moments: Or the time Akke commented on his working hours: Or when he was offered XTC at a club: Throughout the episode where Carlo leaves AKA, Birgit tries to seduce him into staying so she can take a week off to go to London (without Carlo, she would have to stay in). This leads to several characters (such as Carlo and Mickey) misunderstanding that Birgit wants to go to London with Carlo. The episode where Jasmijn is caught stealing has several of these, most of them by Akke When Steve find out that Jasmijn has been Stealing from stores, ZoÃ« responds with "How could she get caught". When Steve inquires about it further, Akke gives away the jig by stating the obvious. Later on, when Steve bails out Jasmijn at the store, the security guard (quite innocently) mentions the (minor) difference in age between Steve and Jasmijn. Or when Steve forces everyone to return their stolen items. Or when Maaike stays the night in Akke's room and Carlo asks him about any possible sexual encounters: Or when Birgit confronts Tom about the fact that he (accidentally) withheld a job interview invitation from her. Or when the gang tries to pamper Birgit after she ended up in hospital with a depression. When Jasmijn and Oswald are trying to have sex for the first time, Jasmijn's father walks in looking for matches. Jasmijn subsequently hands him the matches, but also hands him the condom she was planning to use by accident, quickly snatching it away when she notices it. Jasmijn's father leaves, only to return a few moments later, invoking this trope. Or when Carlo is looking for a girl to play ZoÃ« in his music video. Or when Robbie asks Steve to move in with him.
