Do we still sing the praises of folly like Erasmus, or is it trendy again to be smart? And if so, who is the smartest? Who can talk about the medals won at the Olympic Games in London, but at the same time knows who Captain Haddock is? Who knows whether Lacan was a hair growth product or a psychoanalyst and can also program their own digital television? Who has déjà vu when leafing through the Encyclopedia Britannica and when reading the interviews with the new Miss Waregem Koerse? Who, oh who, is the smartest person in Flanders, Belgium, Europe, and by extension, the world? That is determined by a fierce battle between three fellow human beings. Every day, someone is eliminated, someone who may not be the smartest, but who is perhaps cherished in their family circle because of their many other talents. The others advance and are joined by a new challenger every day.

Lieven Scheire wanders like a forensic blood hound on planet science and all her secondary planets. Faithfully assisted by Googleman and his one-man house orchestra Stijn Cole.

Fed up with her banal existence, Ann ditches her life as it is. Dragging her two best friends along, she navigates a year of brutally-honest madness, enlightened by mental field trips to the Stone Age and unsolicited superhero advice.

Three middle-aged brothers and their families are turned upside down when an unexpected guest, a refugee from Cameroon, shows up on their doorstep.

Bibi and Ama are two lesbian friends in their early twenties. Hoping to become a better version of themselves, they move in together in an apartment in Brussels. Each in their very own way, but under the very same roof they come to share at least one new insight: coming out doesn’t mean coming clean.

The story of five underdogs, meeting by chance during a quiz in a local pub. They get the idea of taking part in the "Superprestige", the most important quiz. The selection procedure turns out to be difficult, requiring more than just knowledge. There's even more at stake than the five had in mind. "Quiz Me Quick" follows their successes as well as their failures

Neveneffecten is a TV-program on Flemish public television, written and performed by the cabaret quartet of the same name. It's a comedy-show that contains a lot of absurd humor, based on the National Geographic documentaries. Famous directors of the show are Bart De Pauw and Jan Eelen.

Basta is a Flemish television program that was broadcast in the spring of 2011 on the Flemish TV channel Eén. It was a combination between a comedy television program, a current affairs program and a crime program. The program dealt with homemade investigative journalism.

Each episode takes the form of a broadcast made by a fictional pirate television station from a fictional small-minded village in East-Flanders, manned by a small number of VJs who introduce various sketches disguised as news or human interest reports. The style of both the program and its official website is deliberately amateurish. Most episodes involve a framing story which intertwines with certain sketches. Many characters are recurring and feature several catchphrases. The series sometimes includes sketches about current news, such as a baby found at a railway station, but also reacted to some negative critique, not taking itself too seriously.

Control Pedro is a humorous panel show on Flemish television, presented by the always enthusiastic Pedro Elias. In this show, Pedro and four well-known 'internet users' dive into the worldwide web. They search for the funniest, most bizarre, and surprising videos, apps, and other internet phenomena.

Do you pee in the shower? Have you ever cheated on an exam? What is your favorite deep-fried snack? And do you prefer wine over beer? Not too serious topics, but we can still discuss them for hours. We will find out Flanders' answers to these and many more questions in the brand new humorous panel show Enquêtebureau with host Steven Van Herreweghe. Two teams of three well-known Flemish people compete against each other with the aim of testing their knowledge about the behavior and habits of the Flemish. In the meantime, the BVs themselves expose their souls in witty and often surprising anecdotes and revelations. The result: a panel show that holds up a mirror to the viewer at home. Because what's more fun than having a good laugh at ourselves?

In Geub, the wife of fictional Philippe Geubels runs off with the charismatic Dutchman William Van Bronkhorst, who is thirty years her senior. In addition to being eligible for retirement, William is also an almost too sympathetic man who seems impossible to anger. However, that doesn't stop Philippe from regularly trying. Deeply humiliated and depressed, Flanders' most popular comedian turns to his mother Sonja, who supports him with advice and laundry baskets full of ironed clothes. Philippe's entourage also includes his regular technician Dikke Dirk and his best friend Pannenkoek. They do what they can to cheer Philippe up, but unfortunately, that's not much.

Kabouter Wesley (English: Gnome Wesley) is a series of comics and short animated cartoons about a grumpy and violent kabouter (gnome), made by Jonas Geirnaert. Both the drawing style and the content are purposely made naive and amateuristic and the situations are surreal and violent. There is also a lot of insulting and toilet humour in the series.

Three lives come together at a gas station. A bag of money and a biro disrupts each of their hopes and dreams.

Neveneffecten is een cabaretviertal bestaande uit Jonas Geirnaert, Lieven Scheire, Koen De Poorter en Jelle De Beule. Jonas en Lieven zijn in het echte leven dubbele neven: de moeder van de ene is de zus van de vader van de andere; en de vader van de ene is de broer van de moeder van de andere. Dubbele neven dus, vandaar de naam Neveneffecten. In november 2003 reden Neveneffecten in een geleende Nissan Micra 372 km noordwaarts naar het Groninger Studenten Cabaret Festival. Twee dagen later keerden ze terug – toegegeven: in dezelfde Nissan Micra – maar ook met de hoofdprijs en een geweldig juryrapport. De voorstelling groeide van 30 naar 90 minuten, en De Morgen vond de première van Zinloos Geweldig de beste comedvoorstelling van 2004. Neveneffecten tourde vervolgens door Vlaanderen en Nederland, maar niet altijd in de Nissan Micra want Jonas zijn ma had hem soms zelf nodig.
