Not quite.
Although it does remind me of a series of Oranjeboom ads on the London
Underground. They don't seem to be documented anywhere online, or at
least I can't find any other info than just people on Usenet who, like
me, are trying to find them.
They were short sentences, made up from actual Dutch words, which only
made sense in English. Can't stand the fact I can't find them on the
web though, they were funny imo.

I don't see why, really, don't they eat bacon either then?
I tried to make them myself, but never got them as good as the ones
you get from the butcher's. No idea what I was doing wrong.

I do like the pricey drinks, true - but cheap vodka will do just as
well. I learnt to drink it in Israel, where it was a lot cheaper than
beer.

Sounds like a very good reason to limit the alcohol intake on a night
out.

No idea, never heard/read that - maybe those are so bad, that they
can't even be talked about.

German wurst is Dutch worst.
Only I didn't intend that pun; trying again:
"worst" is Dutch for what the Germans call "wurst".

You're sure that isn't the other way round?

Amsterdam is more than just that. You don't think I would go to the
red light district when I go to Amsterdam, do you? I go to look at the
tourists, have a picknick in the park, enjoy the buskers' acts, browse
the markets, sometimes I go for concerts.. mostly for the atmosphere
though. Very different from other places in Holland.

No idea. Maybe cause there is no accomplishment to be found in it.

Not all men are like that. Some actually would like to be married for
life.

I've seen neither version, and have no intention to watch it later

I bet you did your best to ignore the semi-conscious idea of it
growing while you chewed it.

I don't think we really need dogs either.
