First sketch we've ever used three cameras on. Meant we could do it all in one take and give that sitcom type vibe
Great framing, the three cameras really made a difference! Great sketch as always, too relatable
Ah, it's working! Love that one shot where Foil is showing us what adult friendship apps and groups are really geared towards. Perfect blurred hand-movement in front of reaction face.
You're going up in the world!
It worked really well!
I thought you'd done that in the unrealistic friend goals sketch as well. But I may have been mistaken...
"It's like they hit their thirties and they decide they've met everyone who's gonna be at their funeral" is such a good line.
Yessssss
The line is therapy at this point
Imagine m’y life: I left the country I grew up in when I was 18, the strict religious sect I fell in with when I was 25, and grad school when I was 30. What chance is there to make life-long friends?
I got to know my childhood bestie because she randomly walked past my house and I asked her if she wanted to come see my bunny. Somehow I think that wouldn't be the best strategy as an adult.
🐰 LOL!
i thought at first you were telling us how you'd remet your childhood bestie as an adult...
😂
😂😂😂
Haha!
He needs to find himself an Irish sketch comedy trio to become obsessed with, I've found that lead to a surprisingly rich seam of brand new friends as an adult 🥰
Looking forward to meeting a few of my new FAHN friends in person in Wellington on Monday. Might even watch a comedy show while I'm there 😊
So true!
With his luck he'll probably find a sketchy Irish lass that wants to do a trio 🤣
@@wouter.de.ruiter yes!
"So I put an ad in the shop window. 'Lonely lad looking for Irish trio for sketchy fun.'"
"Oh no..."
"You will not BELIEVE the response I got. Ask an innocent question and all you get it's perverts."
"Mate, I'm sorry."
"These guys turned up, Foil Arms and Hog. I realised my mistake instantly, sent them right away. I'm not into that kinky stuff."
Worked for me!😅
I am recently single and I'm still with Foil on this. Making new friends is hard! Right down to accidentally going on a date.
You never truely know where its going
The trick to making friends as an adult is to not try to make friends. When you are in a setting where everyone is specifically looking for companionship, it sets a bar of expectations that underpins any interaction that you might have.
Like they said in the video, get out and join clubs. Engage in activities that have nothing to do with romanticism or dating, or can even be adjacent to that. Do that in a social setting without actively looking for friends, and you'll eventually find yourself hanging out with your 2 best mates at the pub in no time.
@@zeropolicy7456 You underestimate the corrosive pull of social media on everybody.
Volunteer organizations are good too.
@@slyasleep I definitely don't underestimate it. Which is why I stopped using Facebook 6 years ago, don't use Twitter, IG, or Reddit, and try to limit my interactions on YT down to 6-7 hours a week.
I know first hand how easy it is to be addicted to social media. And I want no more of it.
This hit too close to home. Making friends when you’re an adult is so freaking hard. I miss the old days of being friends with someone just because we were in the same class at school.
It was so simple then
@@foilarmsandhog Complicated. But somehow more and less complicated at the same time. Most of all, I miss when the only phones were landlines.
SSOSOOOOOOOO TRUE 😭 *dies* I literally turned 18 recently and I’m like 😟 “Why is this world so hard?! Why is everyone so tense?”
So true. My school buddy is my best friend to date and my other best friend is from Uni. We bonded over PS2 and Nintendo Cube gaming.
But if you think about it, school is work for children, so you were making friends with people you worked with because that’s who you spend most of your time with…
"I think I wish I was single" took the sketch to the whole new level 😂😂😂😂
He couldn't even rely on them to talk about other things 😂
Absolutely I wasnt expecting that one 😂😂
given the number of sexless marriages out there, i think most people saw that coming..
Does that mean that only Foil is not married?
Or that only Hug is...
🤩🤩🤩
Dude, you are sooo spot on!
If we would be in a sports bar right now I would buy a beer 🍻
The idea of being an adult and making friends is enough to induce a cold sweat. But, going forwards I shall select any new friends based entirely on their biscuit choices. Solid advice there.
Bourbon for the win… :)
@@bob_the_bomb4508 sorry Bob - always has and always will be a chocolate digestive!
@@heather5494 see, we’re not really suited. I could do a chocolate digestive as a casual fling but there’s no future in it :(
Oh crumbs....
I'm gluten intolerant, I feel so excluded.
Apparently the best way to make friends is to form a comedy group and tour the world together 😉
That'd be a NIGHTMARE if you didn't get along though 😂😂
I think there's high chance of already failing at "forming a group", lol
"When three people stick together, dirt turns to gold."
This is unexpectedly true and deep. Really hard to make friends, have trips or lunches together and worthwhile conversations. The online world and media are really obsessed about sex.
So true!
To be fair, without sex, we dont exist. So its kinda big on the topic list.
True, I find the over sexualization of everything so invasive and gross.
Its the same everywhere... Sad but true... Greets from Poland
Or encouraging, divisive politics.
It's just hard to differentiate between all the different kinds of "friendships" that people are looking for. You can't be more straightforward than "Do you wanna be friends with me?" and people still interpret it weird 😂
Invitations to BBQs are hard to make sexual.
@@IRefuseToUseThisStupidFeature Well, you certainly can't with that attitude 😆
I think you have to do social clubs like sports or pub crawls.
@@IRefuseToUseThisStupidFeature Red hot sausage on offer?
It was so much easier as a kid in the playground. The answer was always one of two things: "okay" or a punch to the arm before they stormed off.
Arms: “What do you think the ‘maybe more’ stood for?”
Foil: “Hill walking.”
Props to the writing again!
Hill walking, is that a euphemism for looking at huge tracts of land?
@@kathilisi3019 Everything is an euphemism if you think long and hard about it.
@@PokhrajRoy. **spits out water**
(Metaphorically. I know better than to drink around these comments.)
@@PokhrajRoy. Right that's it.
SECURITY! Yeah, there they are!
@@IntensivePorpoise Haha hydrate carefully
It's true.. making friends was much easier when we were kids.. nice sketch 😊
Thanks Dhyana!!
It's because half the people are worried about how they come across and the other half are just judgment and preconceptions.
Just start talking to someone who's somewhere find something in common. and talk about it. Then invite them to a barbecue or board games, or wrenching, whatever it is you like doing.
yeah, these I make friends with someone then find out they are a fascist of some flavor, either religious or just plain bigoted with a hard on for authoritarianism.
so now when I meet someone new I just casually make fun of flat earthers and antivaxers, if they start with "well vaccines actually gave my my cousin's nephew's baby autism", I'M OUT.
Those kinds of people also often cheat on their spouses and it's just awkward at christmas and birthday dinners to look them in the eye. Been there, don't wanna go through that again.
It was so much simpler as a child, everybody liked pokemon, I liked digimon, but it wasn't such a big thing that I couldn't compromise and play pokemon with them. While now for moral stuff, I just can't anymore.
I think it is because we change what we "expect" from a friend as we age.
Most of those childhood friendships were based on nothing more than proximity, and really weren't more than skin deep. I didn't know much about their home lives, I didn't expect them to turn up to help if I was in the hospital, I certainly wouldn't trust them to make life and death decisions for me. We just got along and had a nice chat for an hour or so every day - and the relationship completely disappeared when one of us moved away. That's what I call _colleagues_ now. We get along, have some laughs and pleasant conversation over lunch and around the water cooler for an hour or so each day, I know zilch about their real home lives, I don't expect them to turn up for me in my darkest hours, and I totally expect the relationships to fall through when one of us moves away.
What I call _friends_ now, I expect a lot more from. Friendships that survive distances and friends who turn up in your darkest hours. Those are very rare in childhood too.
@@whydoineedanameiwillneverp7790 Yet the closest friends people have tend to be those they made as children.
It’s not a comedy. It’s a documentary. Great job lads! 😂
Documentaries can be funny 😁
I thought it was a self help video when I started watching. It's funny - but in that uncomfortable 'it's so true' sort of way.
This hit sooo many of my own personal difficulties with making friends- I'm asexual and people interpret friendly overtures it as 'confident and self-assured flirting' instead of 'hey, I am really enjoying playing this board game with you!'. I would rate myself on the wrong side of average, looks-wise, but I still seem to turn down a lot of people.
So I guess the message here is that if you want a date, act completely clueless?

So, a few years back I made a blog post about this. I called it "The Curse of the Thirties" . In my particular case I moved to a different city for college and stayed there in the end so here's what happens in that situation:
- you leave your existing circle of friends behind; you try to stay in touch but over the years that fades and fades until it's gone
- you make new college friends but some of them will eventually move back to their hometowns (very common thing to do in Croatia) and fade away
- your new college friends who stay behind will settle down eventually
- your college friends who stayed around and settled will get babies and if you don't have a child you'll be pushed out in favour of other people with children with whom they'll now hang out and have plenty in common
- you will try to find new friends but you'll run into what I call "established circles" because people your age (thirties or so) will already have a circle of friends and most often there is no room for more because no one is willing to start the process afresh
- you will try to squeeze in but you'll find out that these are not true friendships but rather "purpose-built acquaintances".
- for example you'll find gym buddies, or you'll join running schools or you'll find D&D groups or boardgame groups and they might welcome you, BUT when your joint activity ends for the day those people will likely go back to their spouses, children or their existing circle of friends
And it gets more and more difficult to penetrate these walls as you get older. I'm only 35 so I have yet to live and see what happens when you get very old, like 70+ I think at that point you'll be able to make new friends because most of the people around you will be alone sadly and/or they'll have PLENTY of time to kill.
Very rarely you WILL be able to make new friends later in life but those will almost NEVER be as strong as your childhood friends because we are all adults with unique aspirations, abilities, wishes, opportunities etc. By the time we're 30+ we will have made some choices which define us and have duties, obligations and/or desires to pursue so even if you do find new friends you'll most often end up putting them on the back burner in favour of everything that happens in your life. And others will do this to you.
And that's fine. Sometimes it IS a little bit difficult if you're 30+ or something and don't have that one person whom you can call out of the blue and make fart jokes or talk about nothing in particular but most often you'll find that having purpose-built acquaintances is all you really need and you'll quickly see which ones you could potentially upgrade to something more.
Good luck.
All this is true - but I started to make lots of friends again after 50 yo (I’m 55 now) by getting involved in local associations and cultural movements - with people my age but with grown up children or divorced etc.
Like a new teenage vibe. It helped also to move to the country where people are more keen to meet new people than in big cities.
City life is sad.
Be happy!
It’s wrapped up in a funny sketch, but as a person in my mid 30s, it is a hard truth that making friends at this age is an impossible nightmare.
Not really. Get off the computer, go to your local pub, watch and discuss sports with other fans. Join a sports club, or group where you’ll meet folk with common interests. It’s certainly not impossible.
Multiplayer online games are a great way to meet people. Chess, cards, strategy, that other kind of role-play, …
@@7oy I'm an introvert. My only friend is also an introvert who understands me, because she's an introvert, most people don't understand. Being a woman, if I go to the pub alone and attempt to talk to women I don't know, I'm not part of their friendship group, so they mistrust etc. If I talk to men, they think I'm up for it and I'm also putting myself in danger. I don't want to join a group because that's just too much for an introvert and people would misunderstand me. 😂
@@susanplatt5331 I don't know if it's popular where you live but in my city there's been a recent trend of doing "women's circles" and especially ceremonial cacao drinking (like the Japanese tea ceremony but with traditional cacao. Doesn't have to be cacao-related though). Admittedly a bit new-age-y but still a very supportive, encouraging experience. You might exchange contacts, you might end up not meeting those same women ever again, but in any case, it's a lovely feeling of being seen and heard by other women - often as introverted as you! - and spending a beautiful evening in their company without awkward small talk. I suggest you look up if they do any of those types of events in your area :>
@@7oy i dont like pubs and the only sport i like to watch is rugby, but i don’t understand all of the rules a d just shrug when the ref says something
This clueless Foil character is great - not only funny but he also brings a great angle to look at this relatable topic from. The other two characters were fun too. So tame. With a nice punch line, he he.
As an autistic adult, I learned VERY quick that “do you wanna be friends?” doesn’t cut it anymore. My best bet has been the local karaoke circuit. Tons of nice people, usually drunk as hell but seeing as I don’t drink it’s fine and I save my money by just getting free water. Great for friends! Unfortunately the only people so far who’ve taken a romantic interest in me have been divorced men, which is weird because I’ve never been in a relationship before and I’m not comfortable with that difference in experience.
@@user-lv7ph7hs7l I do initiate conversation, especially via compliments; I love complimenting people. But I’ll try to do it more.
You touched me..
The older you get the more you appreciate the people who know (really know) who you are and it takes so much courage to plunge into the deep end of making new friends pool :)
especially if all you want is a wholesome conversation over a nice meal .. or hill walking.
Thank you for being in this world and bringing so much fun (or should I say craic) to everyone who's been lucky enough to come across you! 😊
Lovely comment, thank you
I love that word, Craic ☺️
As an aroace person I relate to Foil's struggles in this sketch so much😅
Haha that’s the energy I was getting too. Happy to hear you spot it.
Same!!
I’m ace and oh my god same
Yeah, the whole time I thought "yeah, every aroace ever..." XD
That's so true! And that's why the friendship between you three are so enviable for many people (especially for introverts like me)
Haha, Added Sugar lives ooonnnn 😂
We're very lucky!
@@SamFHntha I find this so funny and decide not to change it lol
@@grislovegood I'm so happy 😂❤️
@@SamFHntha 💖
Making new friends as an adult, especially a more introverted one is tough if not impossible… I gained some lovely long-term friends due to ‘joining’ the fandom of my then favourite band and I am so grateful. Although the band doesn’t exist any more, I still have my friends.
This hit so close right from the title that I feel more like crying than laughing. As an adult introvert who spends most of their time at work and the rest at home, with no energy left for social hobbies, it really is so hard to form genuine connections with people that don't also happen to live on the other side of the world 😭
So true, exactly the same here...
Same for me!
Same man
You hit your 30s and you've met everyone who's going to be at your funeral 😄
Swing dancers, easy mistake 🤭
Your Brissie opening night was fantastic! Thrilled to catch you guys, absolute riot.
Foil has such an innocent mindset it's so wholesome and funny 😂🥺❤ Hope you find a friend soon mate
Legend has it he started ordering Ubers just to chat with people.
@@SamFHntha Lol. A mate of mine one said to me I total seriousness when his golfing partner moved away:
"I've got a vacancy for a friend".
@@SamFHntha In china, there was indeed this very (lonely) rich man , who decided to become Uber driver (in his luxury car), just to make new friends with people.
"He died!" "He's dead?!" "Well, no, he has kids..!" Genius! Best line in the whole thing - apart from the last one, of course!
Funnily enough this couldn't be better timing as I was having this conversation about making friends in your adulthood, although maybe not exactly as Foil turned out 😅 I love this sketch idea
There's defo a good chunk of reality deep down in this one
Same, Laura! 😅🤝💕
@@foilarmsandhog sooo… are you coming to Scandinavia any time soon?
Ps. Is there like a site or something where one can see schedule of your tour/performances?
See, I always look for people to go hill walking with...or walking...or hiking...i literally just want to go for a walk and have a nice chat, nothing else!! How can that be so difficult? I feel you Foil😅
Same, which is why I'm that weirdo always walking alone in the evenings. There's just no one I can call to come join me.
It really is hard to make friends as an adult...especially when you move to a different country. 😅 But thanks to FAH for making it a bit easier, meeting nice like minded people at gigs and on Patreon!
I completely agree! Moved country last summer and still don’t really have any friends. I joined a poetry group and on the plus side I am friendly with the other members now. On the other hand, I am the youngest by at least 40 years.
Watching that for the 2nd time and I just got the "healthy appetite for fruit and veggie" and it just killed me. I can be so innocent sometimes, just like Foil. 😂😂😂😂
Very good sketch about finding friends in adult age. I'm really bad at socialising, being an introvert, so it is comforting to see that also extros have issues in this world they so clearly own.
And you guys were so amazing in Melbourne, thanks for the brilliant show, my face hurt so bad the next day!
Fall down drunk, you were?
"He died?"
"No, he's got kids"
.....I DIED😂
An accurate depiction of adult asexual struggles. "Would you like to be friends? What kind of benefits? Ah that kind. You'd like... right then. Carry on. Good luck with that."
I met some of my friends at a pub quiz, so far I've been safe from the "and more".
Awesome sketch once again guys, you make my Thursday mornings great
They're just getting you ready for the pop quiz, that's where the "and more" comes in. :^)
Holy shit, McKenna's face when he heard about the "swing dance club" is killing me 🤣🤣🤣
P.S. I'm so glad you used the Brisbane outro, it was awesome being there when you filmed it!
Still laughing from Wednesday night’s show in brisbane lads. Terrific live performance, hardest I’d laughed since Brisbane’s inception 15 minutes earlier.
Haha, in all its long history! Great fun in brisbane
Haha cheers fair play
Ugh, lads. You're the best. I can totally see why people keep coming back over and over again to your shows. Having the time of my life thanks to you!!! (and my new best friends who I love dearly but this comment is for you so they can suck it up and wait their turn).
Thank you so much for coming 🥺
And for working so hard!!! 👏
And for staying to say hi ❤️
And for bringing the mouth trumpet 🤩
And for bringing Hog's hips 😆
And for bringing more batteries for your massager thing 😂😂😂
Now please excuse me while I pretend to go on strike from engagement driving because you didn't post a NZ immigration 😤
Thank you!!!
HEYO my friend! How’s it going Sam?
@@missrobinhoodie BINA TURTLE!!!! I'm doing SWELL thank you!!! Hogwash is absolutely amazing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Arms has a perfect sad stare at 3:09. Also I watched the video assuming he was married to Hog, which enhances the "think I wish I was single" punchline.
I thought that too at first!!
I love that, as funny as this is, the heaping dose of frustrating reality is what sells it
Gosh darnit, they'll have me coming back next week too.
You just gotts keep trying
Arms' facial expressions throughout the whole video are absolutely brilliant! 😂😂
In all seriousness though, I agree with Foil that making friends is bloody hard!
You just gotta keep trying.
The looks on Arms’s face when he says swing dance 😂
Showed this to my friend and she said you missed the opportunity to have the final line reveal that this guy just sat down at a table with two guys he didn't know and they were too awkward to chase him off again.
Bit of a sitcom vibe to this one lads, in a good way. So true too. Kids don't even need to know each others names to be friends! And the ending... 🤭
Spot on, very sitcom feeling!
@@foilarmsandhog Perhaps a combination of script, acting, cameras and edit, I don't know. But the humour had a gentler, sitcom pace to it overall.
Foil should join Gig Buddies - it's a brilliant befriending project that pairs up adults with and without learning disabilities and/or autism who have similar interests, so they can go to gigs and other social activities together.
I don't know, even as kids making friends can be hard. I offered to share my snack with a boy at primary school once and he said we now had to get married?!
This is an oddly appropriate topic for this week's sketch.
Messaged a friend on Monday I've not spoken to in well over a decade to reconnect. Then on a whim, added "I might have a recommendation for you... Are you still in Sydney?"
They started looking for a ticket for Friday before they had even watched a single one of your sketches! 😮
I'll take my commission in the form of Parents When They Catch You Drinking, if that's OK 😉
Ooh maybe deal
@@foilarmsandhog I'll take maybe.
@@Definightly don't know yet, it's only Thursday ;) But I'm confident.
We need updates! 😊
@@marinacapursi993 they loved it :D Had a great night.
I love this. This is me now. Suddenly after 30 I realize I can't create new friendships which used to happen so randomly before.
No it’s EASY!! Just follow Foil Arms & Hog and you end up developing deep friendships with some of the most amazing people in the world!
(As I said to you last week, it’s part of why meeting you was so wonderful - not only for your own sakes (which was huge in itself!), but also the connection to these other incredibly special people 💖)
I think I've genuinely made friends for life because of FAH. I CANNOT wait to meet you! THE LEGEND!
@@SamFHntha Woah Nellie!! Lower your expectations there missy 😂
It’s going to be so incredibly bittersweet seeing you because when this happens WE’LL HAVE FAH ON KIWI SOIL!!!!!!!!!!!! but the tour will nearly be over 🙂🙃🙂
💖🧁💖🎂💖
As you may have figured out after meeting some of us at your Aussie shows, one way to make friends as an adult is to find all the other foil arms and hog fans in your general vicinity (aka 2000km radius)
Kamilka! Which show(s) were you at? 😃
That's some radius! But it does seem to be working!!
@@SamFHntha Melbs 🙂
@@KamilkaOz Really! They were so much fun weren't they!! Damn, I'm sorry (for myself) I didn't get to meet ya. But I'm happy you got to see them! What did you think?
This is super relevant for men who often have few close friends or none. And for women as well finding someone who genuinely wants more friends is hard
I think a lot of men have trouble opening up to people in the first couple meets. You become friends through bonds, whether it's interests like sports or emotional bonds. My first friend at uni literally told me about all his issues with depression and it made me feel comfortable around him because he was so honest and open and so we have a good friendship.
The lines in this were priceless, Foil‘s clueless and frustrated delivery hilarious, but what really put it over the top were Arms‘ increasingly appalled expressions!😅😂😂
I'll be this guy's friend if he introduces me to some of the ladies he's met. As a gesture of friendship, of course.
There has been a study done either showing or suggesting that the easiest way to make friends is to first spend regular, positive time with a group. They can’t run away! LOL But this explains why it was so much easier making friends in school and college. Everyone is being too exploited by their jobs to have time for special interest clubs now.
'Since you guys got married' - my brain automatically interpreted that as 'to each other' and I spit out my tea!
'It's like they hit their 30s and they decided they've met everyone that's gonna be at their funeral' - priceless!!
Yes, been looking for this comment! Figured I can't be the only one who interpreted it that way 😂 Especially with the way they're seated, Arms and Hog close together. Great sketch, poor Foil!
Wait. They weren’t?
It made the last line so much more cold when I thought they were talking about each other!
@@llamasugar5478 I also initially thought he meant to each other then realised he probably didn't - but can be interpreted either way haha
3:01 lol the widening of the eyes as he realizes what the club actually is
I was thinking exactly this before going to one of your shows solo (couldn’t find anyone to go with me) and met some really lovely friends at waiting in line at your gig! 😅 YOU have made it a lot easier for me to make friends!
That's awesome!
Yes! I think going places alone is key to making friends.
"It's like they hit their 30s and they decided they've met everyone that's going to be at their funeral" It's so true it's sad :)
As entertaining as this is, I find it more heartbreaking than funny. Oh, the pathos. Too much rings true; if not in detail but sentiment. Good comedy reflects both the tragedy and farce of life. Well done, lads.
Thanks a lot for having the Swines stream last week!! It was such an amazing experience to watch it along with you all and others in the chat! 😍😍 Would you consider doing something like that again, a Patreon watch party when you have some free time after touring maybe? 🙂
And the Q&A was great too! You answered about 65 questions and a couple of more funny responses to a few more questions/comments! That's a lot of questions for 70 minutes! 😃 Thanks again for everything!
And they only promised 30 minutes!!! Ah, they're awesome 😊
I second that! More Q&As , more interactions with the FAHns!
Ah brilliant 😂 Now I know what not to do. That's one step closer to making new friends, I guess.
This is so relatable and still so funny.
Have a wonderful day and good luck for your upcoming shows.
I absolutely love this desperation on Arms's face by the end of the video😂 Does he also wish he was sungle😂
Ohh poor Foil 😂
I feel this though. I actually tried a friend finding app once when I was new in the city, only to have them ghost me after saying they’d meet me at a train museum. Who ghosts someone at a museum?! 🤔
The trains were cool though XD
You were secretly making friends with one of the anthropomorphic trains from Thomas the Take Engine. They were too embarrassed to admit the truth.
@@EmmaLiza haha I hope so. I personally don’t discriminate against talking trains, but it’s a hard world out there for them.
If you've got to be ghosted, a museum is the place to do it. And if they didn't want to look at trains they probably weren't worth having as a friend. (But maybe my friends aren't representative in that regard!)
Hog playing a straight character always makes me laugh but I did love Foil's innocence. Also hope to see the doom dah from last Thursday night in Melbourne at some stage...
Very relatable! I was still single in my 30s and new friends seemed so hard to come by. But I guess if you learn the right strategy (like, e.g., taking a class on something you really like), you can make friends even in your senior years. Great video, as usual!
Life was so much easier when we were seven! It's so tempting to tell children, "you think this is bad - life gets much worse than this"! 🤣🤣
Lovely sketch, lads.
Reminds me of Arms mom character from “Exams are not important”
I was there at that Brisbane show - you guys are SO amazing at your live performances! Thank you!
Thank you for coming along!!
Meanwhile there's someone very disappointed at the Fun, Friendship and Maybe Hillwalking App
If this is an app people feel needs to exist then I might put it on my List Of Future Projects haha
Great sketch! I was in the same situation, but you guys inspired me to start doing improv. Great way to make new friends as an adult. Life is insane now. Also had our first show for friends and family last friday. Was awesome!
This is so cool!🤩
You're insane in a very good way! Well done!!
It's really difficult. I've had to cut communication with people I sought out to be friends because they clearly were interested in *maybe more*, not friendship
He needs to volunteer with his nearest parkrun! 😆 A marshal who can project his voice would be most welcome and he’d be very popular
Very good sketch about finding friends in adult age. It's difficult, but I think not impossible, it was always hard for me because I'm an introvert. Foil's character was so much fun to watch, so innocent! 😊❤
That's why you have me - your personal extraverted introvert 😄😄
I'm here to watch comedy and be entertained, not to get salt rubbed in my wounds.
Nice sketch, thanks! 😊
Arm's expression at 2:13 is absolutely priceless. 😂
“ I got her to put on her dressing gown and we played PlayStation” made crack up.
I am really bad at socialising, being an introvert, so it is comforting to see that also extros have issues in this world they so clearly own 😂 although I am pretty sure a few men would enjoy going on Foil's adventures! Thanks for the sketch lads.
@@Definightly Well, at least once you are in the right environment you feel at ease and have fun, which is cool. Good for you 😃 two/three people is the max I can take. I am leaving for a holiday with 5 other people in a month, one I basically don't know, let's see how that goes 😂
@@Definightly Thanks!!!
Actually... Would you like to be my friend? No seriously. All I want to talk about is this amazing Irish comedy trio...
"He died."
"What?!"
"Well...he's got kids."
As a 30-something watching this while keeping a (CLOSE) eye on her seven-month-old playing on the floor...I felt that 😂 (or should that be 😢?)
Yeah absolutely loved this line😂
Way too accurate haha. Great work on Tuesday lads, I way so happy to be at your first ever Brisbane show! The toast shot was one of the best highlights.
Another great sketch! Was amazing seeing you in Brisbane last night. True comedic talents these three
That whip was the point when they considered that being single is better.
Their poor partners
I love the way Foil says "Because he lived across the road."
Saw you guys live in Brisbane a couple of nights ago, the show was excellent...even better than I expected. You guys are seriously talented.
The volume of drinks in their glass speaks the volume.
Your device's speakers are feeling pretty unappreciated right now...
Awwww poor sweet Foil! Great sketch! You lads are responsible for creating some lovely friendships between fans though! Hope your shows are going well.
They keep getting better and better. It's so much fun. I think they are having fun too 😂
@@SamFHntha Ahhhh so pleased for them and you! Loved reading about you meeting them!
Good comedy skits are also good social commentaries. This is so spot on.
Making friends at any age is so hard but I feel like as an adult it’s so much harder. Just so awkward 😂😂
Such a great sketch lads and hope you’re enjoying Australia!! 😊😁
Having a great time, thanks!
Me too! Because otherwise **whispers** how awkward 😬
A shared interest in FAH helps a lot, though, Rebecca 🤩😍
@@SamFHntha Hey 👋 Sam
@@weaponizedglitter69 Grrreetings! 👋😁
Ha! Can I be this character's friend? Going purely on the basis that we're both willing to ask the question "will you be my friend?" 😂 this is spot on and also hilarious lads!
Cheers!
Watching your sketch is just the motivation boost I need for the day. Thank you! 🙌 And poor Foilee...so naive 😂
Enjoy your day!!! Make your goal to be as naive as Foil today. Go on, I dare you 😂
@@SamFHntha thanks! As tired as I feel it's not improbable that I will be like that today 😅
Arms' variety of startled expression never fails to amaze me. 😅
PROST!!!!
(Saying Prost reminds me of a cute little video I received last week, in which a Non-German speaking person is trying her best to get a difficult German sentence recorded. The Irish sketch comedian next to her, who actually does speak some German, was a great help by messing it up with the ONE word he had to say. 🤷🏻♀️😜😂)
Now *this* is comedy content in the comments! 😂
Hey, I brought my swing-dancing friend to the first two Melbourne shows!
Kill, Kill, Kill 😂😂
Great show in Brisbane. Absolutely hilarious from start to finish and awesome connection with the audience. My boy was so excited to meet ye after. Keep up the great work👏👏
That was brilliant! Fabulous last line 😂 Thanks for so much laughter!
How to make friends as an adult:
1. Get a dog,
2. Walk the dog,
3. Finally ask people what their names are after six months of anonymous but shockingly chatty puppy playdates!
Lordy that's a lot of lines Foil! Well done, and funny as. See you all on Monday. Can hardly wait!
He'll be after a pay rise!
After the "kill, kill..." I am a bit afraid of how Hogwash has evolved over the past months... xD
I'm turning 36 this summer and I moved to a new place a year ago. I still don't know more about by neighbour next door than his name and the type of car he drives. My 7 year old on the other hand, she goes outside on the veranda, spot some kids on the road walking by, yells hello to them and 2 minutes later they're playing together. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't envious of this ability to make friends.
I kept waiting for this to turn into an add for Bumble, I even checked the video description halfway through to see if there was an affiliate link hiding but I was pleasantly surprised. Very funny video lads😄
