This is a video on public urinals in Amsterdam. More specifically the plaskrul and the urilift, a urinal designed by a dutch company that comes out of the ground.
Also thanks to @NotJustBikes for the footage of the parking garages.

As a drunk British male who has visited Amsterdam 4 times I want to apologise for our behaviour… and also say thank you for the urinals
Ofcourse there is the stereotype and there is the good old European rivalry which makes the brits a good target for neighborly jokes. But don't let the jokes fool you into thinking that most sane Dutch people actually hate all British people or those of a other nationality. As in most places sane people understand that the actions of a certain subgroup don't reflect the behavior of all those in the larger groups. And it is not like drunk men with the germans, polish, dutch or any other nationality don't cause problems.
As a drunk male who frequents Amsterdam myself, im always shocked how shit you guys are with your alcohol
@@VluggeJapie59 i don't find them hate them at all, i find them funny as hell since they are so terrible with their consumption.
I think it's just a type of British tourist that goes to the Amsterdam red light district. The Germans going to Mallorca also aren't representative of Germans as a whole.

The cinematic shot of that urinal cake in the intro, and all of the high quality animations contrast in such a weird way with the topic - frankly, it's puzzling!
Great video as always!
I'm also confused, I don't know whether to laugh or applaud.

The info shared in this video is accurate.
Far from complete and somewhat inconclusive.
But the wrapping is so marvelous, shining, a treasure to behold.

It's funny for some reason, it's a little bit uncomfortable because of this. Like it feels way too dramatic for the topic

@@rafflesiadeathcscent3507 I think it's a bit unfair considering that alcohol will make even smart and alert people dim for the moment. Why risk wasting a good man just because he had a bit much to drink on one occasion?
I feel that judgment is more suited for people who are still stupid when sober.
Besides that, I think it's probably nicer if fewer people piss into the canals.
This is a ridiculously amazing animation for a subject such as this. I mean it is so aesthetic and so well put together. It is also medically and scientifically accurate as alcohol is a relaxant which drops blood pressure and according to the law of pressure, a drop of fluid volume due to urination, also corresponds to a drop in blood pressure like a water hose losing water volume, thereby, the pressure is weaker. It is amazing.
Your bladder isn't connected to your bloodstream, so emptying your bladder won't reduce your blood pressure proportionally.

Was in Amsterdam in 1980 and stayed on Bloemgracht Street, someone fell in the canal when we were there, it was early morning, he was fished out with no harm done. He was lucky he was with other people when it happened. We heard people using the canal frequently during our stay.

I went to Amsterdam last year and really struggled with finding toilets. I googled locations of public toilets but everything that came up was paid toilets. I also of course heard it was illegal to urinate in the canals but I didn't realise those weird metal structures were for peeing in public. I would trek the entire length of the city to get back to the hostel to use the toilet there, then trek back and continue whatever i was doing, it was a weird experience
Really?m I have to admit, even though knowing these, I've peed in the canals from time to time. Never had issues and it's just very convenient and a very widely available urinal haha
@@basti279
One day, your luck may run out. Don't risk falling into the canal. Use the urinals.
@@gabrielgingras814 If I do I use those with a railing. Safety first 😂

You should still not piss in public waterways. Imagine all the effort needed to make them clean and you just piss on it. It's a disgrace for everyone living or walking in the area.
Well, one can always pee their pants, wind fixes the rest. Or adult diaper
"Why you can piss on the street in Amsterdam"...if you've got a peen! I'm glad you covered the case of the woman who was fined for public urination. It's typically Dutch that the government said she must pay the fine after all. As a transplant to The Netherlands, and as a female who often needs to piss while in the big city, I've found that women (and guys unfortunate enough to have to poo) have to 1) find a public toilet, and 2) PAY for the privilege of using said toilet. Not fair, not equitable as far as peeing is concerned! I'm looking forward to seeing the urilifts in action...and especially looking forward to seeing how many of them actually cater to women. Will they be free for both sexes? Hmmmmm
I don't understand why they can't make a urinal that both women and men could use, all they'd have to do is make the pan extend out a little more so it could fit between a woman's legs, then you could go either facing forward, or bent over facing back. Am I being an idiot? I don't see why that wouldn't work
@@SmD-ff5xd yeah, I'm thinking the same. Though I would pee there too, don't care if this is meant for men.
@@SmD-ff5xd There is no need for us women to bend over. I pee standing up at public washrooms all the time. I would never dream of putting my skin on any public toilet! All that is required is a minimal amount of testing, using women of various shapes and sizes.
It's handicapped people I worry about. They are already grossly discriminated against, and I see no chance of it changing in regard to public toilets.
Stop being born with the wrong gender then. Be born a guy with a functioning penis.
Unintentionally one of the funniest videos I’ve seen whilst being very interesting, something about a stoic urinal getting destroyed or a well animated mannequin falling to its death tickled me
As a drunk British tourist with a small bladder, I take my hat off and unzip my trousers to you
I’m not convinced that’s unintentional.
you are just like that movie, idiocracy.
Good one 😂😂😂😂
Haha 😅
I saw an even funnier one on TV years ago. I believe that show was also specifically about The Netherlands' public urinals. At a music festival, a really drunk and stupid guy who couldn't read the Dutch signs took the tablets as a snack provided, and the piss in the communal urinal as free beer. It was hilarious! But only because it was so very realistically done.
I realize now that the signs would always be in English as well, so it had to be staged and not real, but at the time I didn't know that. It was so well done that it seemed believable. I did then and still do always have a healthy degree of scepticism, but I enjoyed it for what it was worth.
this guy's humour is next level
One of the highest quality, most informative and hysterically funny videos I’ve seen in a very long time!😂❤ Well done Skillshare!
The words in the beginning are inspiring. A great description of a urinal. Thank you, for your great description and inspiration.
People in 1960s: “there will probably be flying cars and robots roaming the streets in 2023
People in Amsterdam in 2023: “introducing the piss curl!!!”
The piss curls are the ones being replaced by the newer models mentioned later in the video: futuristic out-of-the-ground toilets for the futuristic year 2023 ;P
Curls date back to the late 19th century when A'dam wanted the moats cleaner and less spreading diseases. They are connected to the sewer system that was build around that time.
Before all was dumped in the moats, but that caused so many outbreaks that a 'perfume' car was introduced to collect the buckets with human excrement, which brought it out of the city.
Yea the piss curl is the previous design

I used them many times when I visited Amsterdam. I wasn’t drunk at all, but did it because I could.
True, they are just awesome. Available in many spaces, free and it is super fast and convenient to use. So yeah, I also use them all day long and not-drunk.
If you die from falling into water because you are drunk you really earned it at that point
I know this video is partly a joke, but as Dutch person I can confidently say that Sweden does public bathrooms so much better than the Netherlands ever will. They're clean, accessible to all and they're also everywhere. There's usually even toilet paper, making it much more hygienic than urinals. Of course, there's also a difference in culture that's needed in order to keep such public bathrooms clean, but that's just another thing I appreciate about Sweden!
When I was younger and often went partying I really hated it that every shitty bar or club would change money to piss. Usually with some cranky toiletjuf.
Don't know about Sweden, but in other countries it's illegal to serve drinks and not have a free option to piss.
You mean Sweden of couple of years ago?
Because you can't mean the current "culture" of Sweden, hahaha.
@@Halo_Legend fr, hard to imagine arabs and africans keeping public bathrooms clean for the rest of us normal people lmao
@@CopeAndSeeth Dude what the actual fuck.

Least rascist European, ffs as someone who lives in Australia, and a very multicultural part, it's the white people who treat toilets with less respect, it's an over inflated sense, of self importance which creates that issue.
I never thought I’d hear a man utter the phrase “piss related drowning” in such a serious tone but here we are
Yup. Here we are…
Well as funny as it is it is serious.
Imagine being wasted taking a leak and all of a sudden you’re lowered underground with the whole ass toilet 💀💀
Man, this channel is so good. It's kind of a parody of self important essay channel while being one itself.
I love how the animation of the pop up urinal suggests that they would position one in the middle of a road. I cant help but imagine driving along and having my car destroyed by a pissoir springing from the ground
well at least you can relieve yourself easily after the crash
they don't "spring from the ground" and they are not placed "in the middle of the road"! they go slowly down when they are not used for a while, and slowly rise up the next morning, they all are located on walkways. what you describe has never happened.
@@martindejong3974”suggests” is used to show that the statement is an implication, but not necessarily a truthful one. “I can’t help but imagine” also suggests that this is purely a thought.
It obviously hasn’t happened because nobody stupid enough to suggest putting one in the middle of a road as a serious consideration gets very far in municipal planning.
@@martindejong3974 So what do you do if they have already gone down, but you are there and dearly need them? Is there a button or do you have to do a secret dance on top of them or do you piss into the canal once more?
@@martindejong3974 They obviously already know that! Can't you tell what's a joke when you see one?
Not Just Bikes showcases the Netherlands's urban infrastructure. Hoog showcases everything else.
There was also an accident a while back when a city maintenance worker was crushed to death in one of those Uralifts that was trying to close.
The Not Just Bikes shout out is pretty funny.
Great video! I'm a woman and I visited Amsterdam two weeks ago. My boyfriend appreciated the many possibilities for him to urinate... I, on the other hand, constantly struggled to find a toilet. I honestly wondered why there weren't as many options for women and whether Dutch women are bothered by it or not.
Urinals are just really easy. No flushing required, inherently more private than sitting down, no contact needed so hygiene requirements are way lower. Even if you design a standing toilet for women these issues are all at least partially at play.
@@group555_ I totally get the practicality and how it’s a simple solution for 50% of the population. It's a great idea and I totally support it. I just think that there should be free and public toilets with easy access for everybody and everywhere and that having to take a piss and shit should be seen as a human act. I love that at least the urination part for men is solved in Amsterdam, but I would appreciate solutions for the rest.
@@elisabethkulakov4863 those do exist as shown in the video but so far they aren't financially feasible to the same degree hence they'll be less common. Sadly someone has to pay to keep them going. I'm not disagreeing with your sentiment, just giving the main reason why.
If i have to imagine it is more of a problem of unisex urinals/toilets being not very cost efficient.
It wan't a decision between 100% of the population vs 50% of the population, but a decision between 50% of the population or 0% of the population.
Also if these toilets are there to prevent the drunkards from pissing in the river, they only really need to care about men, women were not going to piss in the river anyway, it takes a men to be that idiotic.
In my country the solution to the pissing problem has been to force all establishments to offer pissing for free to not customers, since if there is enough people for it to be a problem, there is going to be establishments open to sell stuff to that people, so we only need to force them to have bathrooms and offer them for free to everyone as a cost of doing business in such a centric place. More efficient than public bathrooms and cheaper as well, at least for the government, the cost is instead passed on the restaurants/bars than then pass it to their clients, mostly tourists that are the actual cause of the problem.
As others have stated this was made to solve people pissing in the river and women aren’t doing that in the first place so their an afterthought that came about

This video is such a good combo of shitposting, education and patriotism that entertained and motivated me enough to stop zombie scrolling and start studying instead.
I can’t tell if this video is a joke or if it’s genuine. This is some next dimension level humor!
The video is genuine, but with a heavy humourish undertone. The truth can be funny too.
Only Americans need to have their humor be extremely obvious slapstick garbage. The rest of us are of at least minimal intelligence, so we are able to distinguish the more subtle humor that has always been used in Europe and Canada.
That's what happens when your founding population is that of humorless puritans who want to destroy all fun. The GOP is still at it today. They've gone from hating all fun to hating everyone and everything, except the things that make them rich, which get an automatic pass, no matter how vile and harmful a thing it maybe.
"Piss related drowning" may be my new favourite phrase
Only Hoog can make a video about urinals, compare it to ASML and Dutch water management and still sound serious. The Dutch humour used in the design of this video is clearly the best in the world.

But do we _want_ to piss on the Street in the Netherlands ?
That's the question

Public urinals seem like a nice idea, but as a Torontonian, I feel like a city loses some of its unique charm when you aren't constantly on the look out for puddles of human urine and piles of human feces, as well as the people leaving them, around every corner. I guess I'm just a romantic that way 🤷♂
don't public urinals/toilets solve that problem though, so people use them instead of pissing on the streets and in rivers or canals
Seems like you and Amsterdam agree. You dont want to constantly be on the lookout for puddles of piss, hence the urinals.

"Piss-related drownings" is a concept that makes sense but is a phrase that I never thought I would hear.
I never thought I would find such a compelling and well-made video about urinals. Got me hooked and I can't believe I watched an entire 9 min vid about this topic, no other CZcamsr could've done that.

i think public urinals were a thing in every european big city but in Amsterdam they stayed. The urinals are also old.
This is the Dutch version of "we are going to piss on the moon"
I now understand why Hoog doesn't speak with a British accent.

OK I just love the "p=.5" on the thing when you said "holding all other variables equal" 😂
Oooo and I absolutely love your innovation with neon visuals
The plaskrul is such a good example of "Dutch Design", one of a handful "national" traditions of design that is globally dominant right now, together with scandanivian design, for example
You should ask ChatGPT for a comprehensive run-down of what "Dutch design" means and maybe make a video on it 🐶
In my dutch town, Enschede, two elevator urinals rise from the ground around the entrance of the Old Church, centrally located in the middle of the main square with nightlife
Why this is nifty is that it isnt just more hygienic and just better for air quality, but it's also saving the Old Church's sandstone walls from getting solved away by all the acidic piss.
Now instead of the largest public urinal of town, it is the largest single bike-rack as it gets 360° surrounded by meters upon meters of bicycles three times a week or so
This is so beautiful. I will be telling everyone about the genius of the pisscurl.

In the states, we used to have open public telephone booths….most of the time, they were also public urinals.
I saw urinals like these in Germany, and despite being conspicuousely public, they also seemed incredibly private. Very good design.
They first 'poped up' in the city of Groningen (NL). We get many German tourists. I'm sure that a German city planner saw the design and copied it.
Leuven (belgium) has had the pop up ones for 10 years now@@cyrilio
