Bumper: On a teal background, we see the lime green word "KIJKWIJZER", with the "IJ"s altered so the "I"s are smaller and are resting in the "J"s. In between "KIJK" and "WIJZER", a weird creature with a black body and a huge eye as its head. A red chair slides in from the left and the creature sits on it. As the background changes to a black background with a teal spotlight and a teal border surrounding it, the word "KIJKWIJZER" fades out, and a green TV tube shape appears on the left of the screen. A black circle with the rating info on it pops up as the creature looks at it. Then everything fades out, leaving just the rating text, which then fades out.
