Octaaf De Bolle, played by Walter Michiels, is the well-meaning handyman from Samson en Gert, the long-running Flemish children's series from Studio 100 that began in 1990. His folksy speech and catchphrase-style lines made him a nostalgic favourite in Flanders and the Netherlands. Short clips of his voice now circulate on soundboards and in memes, where Dutch-speaking creators use them as playful agreement or reaction sounds. The line's simple warmth keeps it recognisable even for people who never watched the original show.
About this sound
Octaaf De Bolle from Samson en Gert says 'Ja, dat is waar' in his goofy voice. A short Dutch agreement clip people use to confirm memes and jokes.
This is a two-second voice clip of Octaaf De Bolle, the cheerful, slightly bumbling handyman from the Flemish children's show Samson en Gert, saying 'Ja, dat is waar' — 'yes, that's true' — in his unmistakable folksy accent. His tone is warm and emphatic, almost proud of agreeing, with a little bounce that makes the line feel funnier than a plain yes. Hearing it gives a cosy wave of nostalgia for Flemish and Dutch viewers who grew up with the show, and for everyone else it lands as a charming, goofy confirmation that softens any statement it follows.
