''Zondag Met Lubach'' (English: Sunday with Lubach) is a Dutch satirical late-night show hosted by Arjen Lubach, which as the title suggests, airs on Sunday evenings. It tackles news topics from the previous week originating in the Netherlands, although foreign events come up as well.

In a style reminiscent of Series/LastWeekTonightWithJohnOliver, Lubach will show his research on the subject, make funny remarks, and give his thoughts, which are usually progressive. First airing in november 2014, the show has been gaining popularity, and recieved over a million viewer ratings for the first time with Season 6 episode 2, on 29th of january 2017. The previous episode contained a video, which introduced the Netherlands to the then recently inaugurated Donald Trump, that later went viral internationally.

An infamous moment in the series was when Arjen Lubach asked his viewers to support his "burgerinitiatief"(citizen initiative). Here he proposed to the government to appoint him the title of "Farao der Nederlanden"(Pharao of the Netherlands), for which he recieved over 82.000 supporting votes by next weeks episode. Having recieved way over the necessary 40.000 votes, the Second Chamber had to take on his proposal. Obviously, it didn't land him the title, since the position doesn't even exist.

* BigNo: When mentioning the "Zwarte Piet"-discussion (about how the Black Pete servants from the Sinterklaas holiday are supposedly racist, [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment and let's not get into it too much]]), he exclaimed how he just wants it too be over, and got happy at the idea. Then a clip started playing mentioning a new discussion about why Sinterklaas would have to be a man, asking why we couldn't just let him be a woman. Lubach freaks out, and invokes this trope while running around the studio in despair.

* GratuitousSpanish: In a segment featuring time zones, he goes across a screen showing an animation of a turning globe, where countries go from night to day. When Spain comes by, he ends up blabbering at them, telling them to wake up, resorting to Spanish when he believes they are not listening. Remember that "they" is a projection on a screen.
