Ongezellig
Ongezellig is a Dutch animated comedy web series produced by Studio Massa which was thrown into the abyss after one episode after Massa realised nobody cares about Dutch culture enough to give a shit about it. It is a known fact that learning the Dutch language is a waste of time,[1] and in retrospect the fact that it went nowhere is hardly surprising; a tragedy nonetheless, given that it's the best web series ever made. In fact, Eddsworld shivers in its boots upon hearing the word "ongezellig".
"Ongezellig" is an extremely easy word to translate into English. It's so easy to translate that I don't even feel the need to go into detail about it.
Characters[edit | edit source]
Maya[edit | edit source]
Tomoko Kuroki Maya Schoppenboer is the protagonist of the series and she does basically nothing except for fuck up basic social interactions and have about 10 identity crises every picosecond. She doesn't talk very often and when she does talk it's usually some shit about death note. She also has Autism Denial Disorder (ADD).
Mymy[edit | edit source]
Adolf Hitler Mymy Schoppenboer is the main antagonist of the series. She has attempted to reform the Dutch East India Company about 43 times but has failed every time due to shockingly little people in the modern era sharing her opinions that all Belgians should be sent to stroopwafel production camps. Since Maya is from Belgium, her main goal throughout the show is to torment Maya as much as possible in hopes of "shaking the Belgian out of her."
The Coconut[edit | edit source]
The Coconut is the deuteragonist of the series and acts as the mediator between Maya and Mymy. The Coconut usually flies in from off-screen to knock Mymy unconscious when she gets too close to assaulting Maya. Maya has an unusual amount of resentment towards The Coconut, which is strange considering The Coconut has saved her life from Mymy multiple times.
Plot[edit | edit source]
The pilot episode follows Maya throughout a normal school day. As all Belgians do, Maya eats her light breakfast of 235 million kilograms of chocolate before heading to school. Mymy had recently enrolled at the same school Maya was attending to have more opportunities to harass Maya as part of her plan to force her to assimilate into Dutch culture. Maya hasn't yet realised that Mymy was now attending the same school as her.
Maya was sleeping throughout the first part of history class like she usually does until she was awoken by a rather familiar voice. For some fucking reason, Mymy had somehow gotten the opportunity to present a slideshow on Dutch history which didn't consist of much more than the potential benefits of reinstating the VOC and legally classifying Belgian people as subhuman. Before Maya could say anything, Mymy pulled out her Worker Kunlun bolt-action springer blaster using a 1.6x270mm spring and fired a single Worker HE Standard-Weight half-length dart towards Maya at roughly 90 metres per second. She completely missed, and before she could re-prime the blaster, The Coconut knocked her out for a short while. She blamed her miss on "belgian aim" before heading back to her seat. Mymy was told she'd have to redo her project.
Maya's presentation which she was due to give that class was on Belgium but in order to avoid potentially taking a half-length to the forehead, she said she didn't know about the project because she was sick on the day it was assigned. As it turns out, it wouldn't have mattered anyway because Mymy had replaced the contents of the flash drive Maya's presentation was stored on with 67,000 identical pictures of the Scout from Team Fortress 2.
Since Maya and Mymy both had to stay after school to redo their assignments, the teacher thought it would be really funny to have them work together in the library. Maya knew The Coconut would probably be there in case Mymy attempts to kidnap her or something but still didn't find it very funny. Mymy found it very funny on the other hand.
Maya deleted the Scout pictures from her flash drive and put her powerpoint slideshow back onto the drive. This took about two minutes and spent the rest of the time playing slope on an unblocked games site while waiting for Mymy to put together her slideshow. What she didn't do was notice the fact that Mymy had once again replaced the contents of her flash drive with the MEMZ trojan, which fucked up the school computer pretty bad when Maya attempted to present her slideshow to the teacher. However, The Coconut was able to apply some percussive maintenance and disable the trojan just long enough for Maya to get through her presentation. Mymy presented her slideshow as well but since the school computer's power supply unit had exploded by this point she just recited the slideshow's text from memory which was good enough for the teacher.
Maya sighs in relief as she arrives home without being hit by a half-length dart along the way, as Mymy's Kunlun had been confiscated by the teacher. This was half because Mymy was being annoying with it and half because the teacher herself was getting kinda bored of her Caliburn 4 and wanted a new blaster for her collection. The episode ends on a shot of Mymy ordering a Orion Blasters Lynx hardware + 3d parts kit from outofdarts and a shot of Maya watching an educational documentary on mollusks.

All you need to know is that you should never ever type "ongezellig" into the search bar of any website ever unless you're looking for the source material on youtube. Your braincells will thank me later. Unless you're a mental masochist, in which case go nuts i guess. Your braincells will thank me later in that case too.
