Zondag Met Lubach (Sunday with Lubach) is a Dutch satirical late-night show hosted by Arjen Lubach, which as the title suggests, airs on Sunday evenings. It tackles news topics from the previous week originating in the Netherlands, although foreign events come up as well.In a style reminiscent of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Lubach will show his research on the subject, make funny remarks, and give his (usually progressive) thoughts. First airing in november 2014, the show has been gaining popularity, breaking the one million viewer landmark for the first time in Season 6 episode 2. The catalyst was the previous episode which contained a segment which introduced the Netherlands to the then recently inaugurated Donald Trump, this segment went viral after it was uploaded to YouTube.An infamous moment in the series was when Arjen Lubach asked his viewers to support his "burgerinitiatief"(citizen initiative). Here he petitioned the government to appoint him the title of Pharaoh of the Netherlands. The very next episode reported that over 82,000 people signed the initiative, well over the required 40,000, necessitating a response from the Tweede Kamernote Comparable to the UK's House of Commons or the US's House of Representatives. Obviously, it didn't land him the title, since the position doesn't even exist.The show was cancelled in 2021 and Retooled as The Evening Show With Arjen Lubach, which retains the same satirical format but airs four days a week.

Gratuitous Spanish: In a segment featuring time zones, he comes across a still of a turning globe, where countries go from night to day. When Spain comes by, he ends up blabbering at them, telling them to wake up, resorting to Spanish when he believes they are not listening. Remember that "they" are a projection on a screen.

Gratuitous Foreign Language: One episode was discussing how it is possible to get stuff so cheap from Chinese webshops. And so, they replaced the correspondent Tex de Wit with a cheap Chinese substitute note  who was played by Ruben Terlou, a man who has made several shows where he traveled through China who appeared to only know Chinese.

Quote Mine: Played for laughs in a sketch where Lubach did a "time travel interview" with former Dutch attorney Bram Moskowicz, who was a major public figure before he was met with a rapid string of misfortunes in recent years, including being disbarred. The interview is carefully edited to make it seem like Moskowicz is responding to being informed of his own future failures, which gets plenty of Lampshade Hanging.

The One Thing I Don't Hate About You: In a segment on politician Geert Wilders, Lubach shows a series of clips where Wilders describes his disgust or disapproval of a wide range of things, causing Lubach to wonder if Wilders simply hates everything. It turns out that no, Wilders loves the Efteling (a local amusement park centered on fairy tales).

Author Tract: The show has frequently been plagued with accusations of bias because the main producer is married to a prominent D66 politician. When said politican became the target of satire, Lubach said that he wouldn't go easy on her, but generally, he does use his platform to promote Liberal Democrat policies.

Overly Long Gag: Thierry Baudet, a Dutch politician, made a tweet about how his friends got harassed by Moroccans in the train. Later it turned out that they where actually ticket controllers and not even Moroccan. In response, Thierry said the most important part wasn't that he was incorrect, but that something like this could've happened. After this Lubach revealed that he had interviewed one of the Moroccans that could've been in the train. This caused a long gag about hypothetical situations that went on for two minutes.

Abilene Paradox
 Zondag Met Lubach / int_cf3af21a
comment
Abilene Paradox: Lubach describes strategic voting this way when it comes to Dutch politics. With a pluralistic parliamentary systemnote Exacerbated because politicians reserve the right to keep on to their seat if they break with their own party, so short-lived splinter parties are a frequent phenomenon, Dutch voters tend to "vote their conscience" and swing wildly between parties, but in 2012 most voters consolidated behind the right-wing Liberal Party (VVD) and the left-wing Labour Party (PvdA) for fear that the other party would win. The result: both parties gained so many seats that they formed an alliance after the election and shut out all the smaller parties. Lubach compares this to choosing what's for dinner between item 1 and 2 by going along with everyone else and going for item 1 because you really don't want item 2, when in fact you would have preferred item 3.
