Angela de Jong takes Youp van ‘t Hek really a lot to graze after the lamentation over his wine gift. She saw him all at the ankles in a long column. “An old bag, an L*L!”
At first glance it is not at all something that fits with Youp van ‘t Hek: the constant lament about the farewell gift that he has received, namely a bottle of wine. He finds that far too little for someone with his track record. He complained about it on Wednesday evening in Opium, yesterday morning on Radio 538 and yesterday evening at Humberto.
Angela takes
Angela de Jong can’t believe it. She thinks it is an unprecedented instant and describes him in her AD Column As someone who slowly turns into an elderly grumpy. Someone whose world is getting smaller, who is starting to worry about fussy things like a wrong card with a wine package.
Where he used to be above such details, he seems to be very annoyed by it, as if he has lost all the sense of perspective, thinks the Tiger shark of the AD.
Old l*l
The respect for Youp is starting to sink a bit at Angela. “Do you know who is also becoming an old l*l? Youp van ‘t Hek. The man was once the country’s best comedian. Took everything and everyone the size.”
And especially people who appointed or walked next to their shoes, Angela emphasizes. The comedian always hated that, he showed in his performances. “But look at him now. He is already complaining on TV for two evenings in a row.”
Farewell gift
Angela finally points out how many millions of Youp must have earned and thanks to the VARA. “Perhaps it would have been more appropriate if he had given the broadcaster a farewell gift.”
She finds him an ‘soured old man’. “Someone for whom life has been good, (…) who is sitting in the media like a small child about a gift from more than a year ago.”
Petty -bourgeois
Youp can no longer have a big mouth about other attendants, says Angela. “Whining about a farewell gift. How petty -bourgeois do you want it?”
She decides destructive: “Youp has become what he always kicked against. A nagging old bag.”
