Thanks. I usually type the balloons into Google translate and get a sensible chuckle out of it, or sometimes I guess the joke only works in its original language. If I see one of those I'll ask you!
I thought he was Dutch btw, I remember he posted something about being in Amsterdam doing a show and I assumed he spoke Dutch
He's Belgian, born in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium, Flanders. We speak a couple of regional dialects collected under the name Flemish. It's basically Dutch with a twist.
Lots of comedians in Flanders also do shows in the Netherlands and the other way around. Not that many Dutch speaking people in the world, so might as well try and reach all of them I guess.
It is, but "a flemish person" would translate to "uma pessoa flamenga" in portuguese. 3 very similar sounding and written words that relate to very different things.
He has a bunch of English ones on his website as well. Some of them are just the dumbest, least translatable puns though (in a good way).

It would be a really fun but expensive project to mount a bunch of mini jet engines under a gondola and make a control algorithm so you could have a baloonless hot air balloon.
Jet engines aren't that efficient at low airspeed. What if you replaced them with one large low-speed fan? And mount it to the top so it's above the COG
Because then it'd be visible (breaking the illusion of a no balloon balloon) and would be getting way too close to just being a bad helicopter. I'd think a few jet engines like gravity industries uses should do the trick, but the control algorithm would be pretty difficult.
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to get this but if I am, I don't.
The cops aren’t around so they can freely violate the law of gravity.
There are multiple moving violations.
They're breaking the laws of physics
Honey, call the cops! John Wayne and Bing Crosby are defying the laws of gravity again!
Bonus: "Gravity is a law! I obey the law!"

Love to see a Salvatore Ganacci reference in my feed
(Unless he's referencing something else then feel free to enlighten me)
This is the comic Salvatore based his skit on.
there weren't any surviving witnesses
The graphics remind me of pilotredsun's content
Jeroom is great, unfortunately most of his content is in Dutch (unfortunate because I don't understand it)
Send me your favorite Dutch Jeroom comics and I'll translate them. (I'm Flemish)
Yes I know how stupid this sounds.

Thanks to portuguese, my mind keeps associating Flemish with flamingoes and flamenco.
I thought flamenco was Spanish.

I know of few more terrifying phrases than “home made helicopter”
