Basically, here's a video packed to the brim with references to, in this case, Dutch culture. I thought it'd function as a nice game to set up for the forum. So without further ado, let's play
~Spot the References~
The season host picks a form of media of choice, be that video, image or sound and presents it to the forum, giving it a clue as to what the theme is that references need to be found for. The host then determines a number of references to be found and lists them as blanks with one example so people know what they're looking for. It is then the goal of the participants to see if they can find out all the references the host was looking for! Winner is the person to have spotted the most references when all references have been found. That person gets 200 Tings and may host the next season!
There's no real guides to follow here but that there should be quite a few references in the material picked by the host so there can be a little bit of a hunt. Seasons may last, say, two to four weeks. Let's keep it at that for now.
References can be anything, really. Ideas, people, events, themes in songs, cartoons, products, etc. - anything that is a reference to the source theme, basically!

Alright, so for season 1, presented video material is the following:
The theme is 'Dutch'. Can you manage to spot all references related to things that have to do with Dutch pop culture, history or factual/fictional presence in the world? Winner gets 200 Tings from the riches of the Robo-Army Hoard (my personal Tinggybank

Let's see how it goes - good luck and have fun! Let's play: Spot the references!
PS
As per special added rule for the first round, all Dutch members on the board are discouraged to participate, simply because that would make it far too easy.
You can dish out hints though, and if you really want to, try your hand at guessing some of the more obscure and not so sticky-outy references.
