Edwin Rutten was a jazz singer, but became best known as the protagonist of the Vara children's programThe Film by Uncle Willem. From 1974 to 1990 he made more than 200 episodes, with many songs and small performances for and with children. It was quite a messy show, but very nice and cozy. Children also walked on stage and asked if they could pee for example.

Ome Willem's film was on the Dutch tube for 15 years. You couldn't have missed that one! Poop sandwich and this fist on this fist, you must know them! Some of Uncle Willem's statements were:

  • Ricles and Rekles (the children)
  • Yay the poopy!
  • Ra ra shiver, sit down on your buttocks
  • Listen to me what I'm asking?
  • Listen to me what I'm calling... Do you also like a sandwich... poop? (ah bah uncle Willem, a poop sandwich, kids think it's dirty!) And then Uncle Willem hit himself supposedly with the drumsticks on his own head.
  • What I want to ask now is a... crocodile here?
