Tim Hofman is angry with comedian and actor George van Houts. The latter was quite fierce yesterday against the makers of a video to get your repeat shot against corona. He wishes them dead, because their work was “so bad that it carries the death penalty.” But those words go wrong with Tim Hofman.
Yesterday, Minister of Health Ernst Kuipers posted a promotional video to get a repeat shot against corona. The video will also be shown on television in the near future, the minister wrote. It is part of a new corona campaign that has been rolled out.
But George van Houts, winner of The smartest person in 2016 and known for several theatrical performances, is disgusted by the video. “This is horror in every way imaginable. Acidic bad commercial in a death-threatening humorous infantile tone”, he initially responded in an unmistakable manner. But it didn’t stop there.
Putting the #repeat shot is in full swing. To point out this possibility to as many people as possible, this TV spot can be seen from today. This spot is part of a new corona campaign that reminds people of the importance of following the basic advice. pic.twitter.com/JqxbGBwuaY

Comedian wishes corona video makers dead
Moments later, he went one step further. He also wrote what he thought of the filmmakers, or rather: what he thought should be done with them. “Does everyone want to dox (publish privacy data online, ed.) and/or shoot these people as soon as possible. Quartering or beheading followed by skull spikes is also allowed, but that might be too nasty.” he gave free rein to his creativity.
Why did he wish the filmmakers dead like that? “Their work is so bad that, in my opinion, it is punishable by death. Sorry. Sorry,” he added, before posting all the names of the makers who were involved in the video online.
Tim Hofman: ‘Needs to get some good legal stumps’
And that tweet, which is still online at the time of writing, does not sit well with many people. “It’s pretty special that a tweet (in my opinion clearly punishable) like this has been online for 15 hours,” someone writes. Even the police are interfering in the Twitter conversation. He says that he cannot act immediately, but refers twitterers to the declaration page on their own website. “Then it ends up with the right colleagues.”
Tim Hofman calls on his own followers to take action. “This man really needs to get some good legal punches on his evil nose. We can at least get him removed from Twitter with his threats with reporting.” Hofman also spoke about death threats this summer, when it was about the threats against him.
