The clip comes from Ad Looij, whose blunt Dutch statement Ik hou niet van vis has circulated online as a standalone meme sound. Shared mainly through soundboards and short-form video, it is picked up by Dutch-speaking creators and by wider audiences who recognise the phrase even without translation. Its appeal lies in its simplicity: a single everyday opinion, delivered without exaggeration, can be reused for almost any rejection. That versatility has kept it in rotation for reaction edits, food jokes and chat replies long after its first shares.

Ad Looij saying 'Ik hou niet van vis' in Dutch, a short meme clip used to reject food, ideas or plans with deadpan humour in videos and chats.
This short Dutch meme clip features Ad Looij delivering the line Ik hou niet van vis, meaning I do not like fish, in a flat, matter-of-fact tone that makes the simple rejection feel unexpectedly funny. The voice is clear and conversational, without music or background effects, so the emphasis lands entirely on the blunt statement itself. Listeners hear a calm, almost stubborn refusal rather than an angry outburst, which is why it works so well as a reaction. It turns an ordinary dislike into a punchline, giving videos a quick moment of dry humour and a relatable way to say no without explaining further.
