A grand tradition, which I plan to fulfill with the help of YouTube this year, is to watch Dinner for One. Now if only I could find some oliebollen to go with the Sekt.

Finally I optioned for the YouTube version of 2005 True,it is as silly as the oliebol, but as a traditon, kept in the classic way (the fancy versions are not silly enough)it is funny.
We have an adjective: ouwbollig, meaning lame, a lame joke, a lame schetch.
Fits well in this context.
