The Ome Henk CDs consist of stories which depend on dialogue and sound effects, and songs, some of which are parodies. His most well-known song is "Opblaaskrokodil" (Dutch for inflatable crocodile), which was used by animator Andrew Kepple to make the popular animutation "French Erotic Film".
Ome Henk is a character created and performed by actor Frank van der Plas. He is portrayed as a cranky and often aggressive old man living in the fictitious town of Biggeveen, which is full of other obnoxious, feeble-minded and otherwise extraordinary characters. The stories on the Ome Henk CDs highlight these various personalities and build up to many painful and embarrassing situations. The absurd, caricatural character of the sketches is what makes them hilarious. They traditionally end with an explosion. Ome Henk's songs are about daily nuisances and other topics of interest to a grouchy old man. They're built upon (sometimes spoken) couplets and refrains and often feature a lively crowd, cheering and singing along. This makes the songs very suitable for après-ski and carnival parties. While his music and sketches form the most important part of his body of work, Ome Henk and his neighbors also appear in cartoons drawn by cartoonist Eric Schreurs and in live comedic sketches.
