Tim Hofman is completely ridiculed by the duo Marcel van Roosmalen and Gijs Groenteman. They believe that their BNNVARA colleague takes himself very seriously.
According to critics, it is no secret that Tim Hofman suffers from a certain form of delusions of grandeur. According to them, the presenter always wears slightly too big trousers in the public debate. He would make himself a little too important. And that is why Marcel van Roosmalen and Gijs Groenteman are now making fun of him.
Tim’s mega reach
Tim is considerably less active on social media due to the assassination threat against him, but he says he was pushed to give his opinion about the war between Israel and Hamas. That is why the BOOS presenter came up with a whole statement about this situation in his Instagram on Sunday.stories.
The Voice killer states: “I’m busy processing something else myself (🔫), so I’m a bit quieter on social themes and current events. But what is happening now in Israel/Gaza is not something to remain silent about. Certainly not for people with a reach like I have.”
‘Hahahaha!’
It is precisely this boasting about his reach that Gijs finds hilarious. He really laughs when he does this during the recording of his podcast Another Day hearing for the first time. “He wrote that himself?! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!”
Marcel also starts laughing uncontrollably: “Hahahahahaha.”
Gijs cynical: “Okay, no, then you can’t stay quiet.”
Marcel: “Then he can’t keep quiet. No no…”
From on high
Marcel is getting a bit tired of Tim. “Tim Hofman attacks it from above. He has now released another beautiful statement. He has been quiet on Instagram for a while and now there was a statement in which he also started: ‘A lot of people are asking me, so I’m giving it now.’ A statement about the war, his vision of the war.”
Who is waiting for this, Marcel wonders. “It is of course true that many people in both Israel and Gaza speak the Dutch language and it is possible that this statement will reach Israel. Of course, of course!”
Gamalagamala
Gijs agrees: “If Tim Hofman releases a statement, that’s news, right there!”
Marcel: “He says very, very, very true things. You can just imagine that a minute is freed up in the synagogues and the mosque. From: ‘Gamalagamala (imitates foreign language, ed.) Tim Hofman. Gamalagamalagala.’ You can imagine that it has an impact.”
Gijs: “The savior from Vlaardingen.”
Marcel: “Yes, wearing a very nice BNNVARA shirt.”
Millions of followers
Gijs thinks Tim is just a little too self-conscious. “Nice. And how good that he is so aware of his reach. You often have people who don’t realize how big their reach actually is, but Tim Hofman really knows that about himself and also shares it with his followers. Then you cannot indeed remain silent.”
Marcel: “He also takes his followers seriously. Tim says very clearly to his millions of followers: ‘There are millions of you. You have seen me and I see you. I’m talking on your behalf. You have influence through me. You have influence through me.’ Very smart.”
Plague punch
After this podcast discussion, Marcel and Gijs came up with another big tease in their talk show Van Roosmalen & Groenteman last night. They opened the broadcast by alternately reading Tim’s statement in a very respectful manner. The central message? This boy takes himself way too seriously.
Tim’s statement:
“You can imagine that a minute of time is spent on this statement in mosques and synagogues. That a note goes into the Wailing Wall with Tim Hofman’s name and ‘Bring him here’”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
