I would believe. The term “dood” is probably considered humorous by English speakers because it phonetically resembles the term “doo doo,” which is associated with excrement 💩.
This phenomenon is similar to how the German word “Ausfahrt,” which translates to “exit” in English, is found amusing due to the presence of the syllable “fahrt,” which sounds similar to the English word “fart.” These associations are likely due to the overlap in sounds between the terms, which can trigger humor based on immature or scatological connotations.
They’re just dumb people.
Die Bart die
Dutch is (fairly) closely related to English. Simple.
🇬🇧: Smoking is deadly
🇳🇱: Roken is dodelijk
Tired of this Dutch slander. Have these people heard Swedish?
Just an Anglo who can’t comprehend other languages exist and are in fact different from English. Even though you can’t get much closer than Dutch
Dood
California is a morbid place for the Dutch.
Everywhere you turn, “hey dood,” “how’s it going dood,” “dood where’s my car”
DIE Mann? Jesus, who hurt you guys?
Germans think dood is funny as if tot sound any more serious to a nonspeaker
Die dude is dood
Den mannen är död.
This is Afrikaans. I believe the Dutch version would be: “de man is dood” followed by kanker or some other disease
Hitler is
Angloids when Germanic languages sound like other Germanic languages 😂😭🤣
In Greek for comparison: αυτός ο άνθρωπος είναι νεκρός

It’s the uncanny valley for those familiar with English but not Dutch.
If you’d stuck at your Golden Age and had kept the same level of great power status maybe it would be reversed
