Ongezellig is a Dutch six-part YouTube cartoon created by Studio Massa, detailing a few days in the life of a high school student.Maya (Robin Barten) is a friendless introvert suffering from social anxiety who spends her days socially withdrawn and isolated. On the advent of having to do a major presentation for History class, she finds herself having to work with her adopted sisters, the air-headed but good-natured Coco (Merel Does) and the aggressive Dutch nationalist Mymy (Joyce Ter Stege). Hijinks ensue.

Multinational Team: Although the main trio are Dutch nationals, Coco is actually South African by birth, Maya is of mixednote Chinese-Indonesian on her mother's side, Surinamese Indian-Dutch on her father's ancestry per Word of God, and Mymy is from Nagasaki.

Bad Liar: Making excuses isn't Mymy's strong suit, whether it's her claims of being Dutch (due to her obvious accent and insistence on being from "Japsterdam"), or trying to weasel her way out of delivering a proper presentation.

Immigrant Patriotism
 Ongezellig (Web Animation) / int_505ec51b
comment
Immigrant Patriotism: Despite hailing from Nagasaki, Mymy is a fervent Dutch nationalist to the point of extreme racism. She even dyed her black hair orange and wears coloured contact lenses to look, one one hand, more like an ethnically Dutch person, and on the other, her orange hair combined with her blue and white clothes evoke the Prince's Flag. This is a Dutch flag that goes back to the 16th century, but in modern day has fallen out of favor because Nazi-sympathizers and other far right activists have made it one of their symbols.

Moving the Goalposts: Inverted in regards to the deadline of the trio's history presentation. While initially set for a relatively generous deadline on Friday, Mymy's constant excuses prompted Vera to repeatedly move it up several times until it's basically due that very afternoon instead.

The Alcoholic: Vera, the apathetic history teacher, carries around bottles of Jip en Janneke wine. This is a joke, because while Vera acts the part of an alcohol-dependent snarker, Jip en Janneke wine contains 0% alcohol because Jip en Janneke is a brand aimed at young children.

comment
Teacher's Unfavorite Student: Miss Vera doesn't like any of the sisters, but at least Coco and Maya keep to themselves. It's the extrovert, self-centered, racist, and demanding Mymy that she truly despises. The one note that can be discerned on Vera's student file on Mymy in Part 3 reads "Ik haat dit kind zo erg." ("I hate this child so badly.")

Lost in Translation
 Ongezellig (Web Animation) / int_b7920c43
comment
Lost in Translation: "Ongezellig" does not have an English equivalent. "Gezellig" an adjective based on word "gezel", which means as much as "companion", and it refers to a state of being in an easygoing atmosphere with a small group of close friends or family (although even alone it can be "gezellig", and just because it's easygoing doesn't mean it's low-energy). Think six people in a warm kitchen on a winter evening playing a tabletop game while gourmetting. Usually, it's translated as "convivial" or "cozy", which does cover most of the bases, but some activities a Dutchman may describe as "gezellig" aren't covered by it. "Ongezellig" means "not gezellig", and contains something of a reproach towards whoever causes it to be "ongezellig". In the case of the webanimation, that refers to Maya's antisocial tendencies. The name "Mymy" may not look recognizable, but it's the same name that normally would be rendered "Meimei". In Dutch, you have the short "ei" and the long "ij", which are pronounced the same way, and the long "ij" is sometimes mutually interchangeable with the "y", which normally is pronounced "i" or "ie". Coco speaks (Dutch influenced by) Afrikaans, which sounds childish or innocent to Dutch speakers not familiar with it. This mostly shows up when she says a negative sentence, because in Afrikaans, a second "not" is added at the end of such a sentence. Imagine that rather than someone saying "I won't do that," they say "I won't do that not." The association fits Coco as a well-meaning but naïve young lady, and it gets strangely intimidating when she pushes Maya out of the window saying "I'm not hearing any apologies not, Maya." In Part 4, Mymy mockingly imitates a Belgian accent when she answers Coco's question if ADD is curable.

Smash Cut: Coco's presentation starts with an introduction about some sexual traditions had long ago, very obviously pointing out that she took Maya's hentai folder as real research. Coco says she even has a video to show the class, she presses play, and we immediately cut to their teacher's office giving a death glare to the camera.

Shout-Out: Maya's computer wallpaper is XP's "Bliss". Mymy's anti-anime propaganda contains a promotional image from Boku no Pico. In Part 6, the photo in the back of Coco's room depicts the sisters at the Efteling with the theme park's mascot Pardoes. The student file of Mymy is a 5th Edition character sheet.

comment
Company Cross References: In the scene Mymy pretending to be a Dutch colonizer and Maya, all tied, as the indigenous person is a reference to Studio Massa's de VOC video. After Mymy bloats about the history presentation day, she goes overboard in fashion similar to "Gerts bloodbad", edit of a gameshot. In the scene with snapping back to reality from Mymy's roleplay, one painting references a person from "Stille Willem - Specerijn" A background character sitting in the classroom after Mymy's "presentation" and Coco clapping, is from "'t Histaurant" Mymy being knocked out by Vera's bottle after her attempted shooting with her nerf gun, is reference to the same "de VOC" video The scene after Mymy falling, a painting referencing with Stille Willem series of "Spreekbeurt" can be seen. A painting in Vera's office has a character from "Cornelis Flabbergast"
