In Dutch, you don't pronounce "Van Gogh" as "Van Go" or even "Van Gok". You say "Van Go-" and then what happens is a terrifying, abysmal sound you could make if you swallowed a fish bone and it got stuck in your throat and some spaghetti landed on it and started bobbing up and down hitting your vocal chords, all while being asphyxiated and growling.
A glottal stop? like in vang-oh-oh without the 2nd "oh"?

If so, i find it easy to pronounce that way :P

Or perhaps a voiceless velar fricative, like in loch? I suppose I could just look it up, but this is funnier.

It's hilarious how this convo evolved/devolved into pronounciation and no one even bothered to laugh at the meme...XD

But THIS, THIS wins the Internetz for today:
