New Kids began in 2007 as short online sketches created by Steffen Haars and Flip van der Kuil, following five friends in the Brabant village of Maaskantje. The series moved to Dutch television and then to the hit films New Kids Turbo in 2010 and New Kids Nitro in 2011. Its heavy dialect, deliberate bad taste and short shouted phrases made many lines easy to lift as standalone clips. Siekte survives in that form online, shared as a quick Dutch insult and reaction sound long after the original scene is forgotten.
