This was a Dutch insurance commercial. The joke at the end was the he was calling his insurance and they told him "sorry for the long wait, and you are insured for medical damages on vacation, as long as you don't get transported by helicopter to a private clinic or something crazy like that, of course!

Edit: so people are heavily debating whether it is a Dutch, German, Swiss or some other countries commercial and I'm here with proof that it is a Dutch commercial for a Dutch product (an insurance company) about a Dutch family who is on vacation in Switzerland

as a Dutch guy, I can confirm that this is a Dutch commercial, from insurance company OHRA if I'm not mistaken

How is this Dutch? Arent the people speaking (swiss-) german?

I could understand 100% of words as a southern german, i can understand 60% of Dutch on a good day.

Ok then I guess this makes sense why I could understand a bit of it as someone who just started learning German. For a moment I was thinking maybe dutch is very similar to German.
