I had to buy the bra that morning, and there were a few other people in the underwear area. I did two quick passes, not lingering, snatching quick glances. Then I pounced for the most 'mary mc cormack' bra I could see. It was a professional job - A
This does be deserving a pin 😂😂😂
Mary needs a measuring service. That is not her size.
Was the embarrassment due to the fact that you had to shop for lingerie or the fact that it was a Mary McCormack bra?
Anyway, great visual joke, thanks for putting yourself through it!
At least you didn't get lost in the lingerie department Father Ted style!
Did you get the giant lacy purple knickers at the same time?
Think of all the energy they'll save by keeping that door closed.
Fair
But wait, if they wear socks all the time, they could somehow find a way to harness the electricity coming off the carpet!
@@SamFHntha well, if nothing else, they might keep warm from jumping when they get an electric shock from it 😉
My mother wrecks me head with "CoLsE the DoOr" every winter and she's damn right. Lol
I am thinking at the energy they are producing by running all around the house...
The luminescent tape around the toilet bowl was brilliant 😂
Just use it the Japanese way and always sit down, that way you never need the light on!
"No excuses!" 🤣
Not a bad idea to be fair
@@louiseegan497 I never put the light on for nighttime trips to the 🚽 just makes it harder to get back to sleep
@@hairyairey So you're saying...you're making a new investment? 🤣
The fact that it’s one take always knocks my socks off. And now that my socks are off, I’ll wash and dry them by the school radiator. 😉
You understood the assignment perfectly.
Instructions unclear school radiators not heated due to saving measures. Please advice.
Meanwhile round at Anne and Oisín’s house, Anne has no problems with the heating bills because she’s had the family on a strict regime of keeping the heating off to save on electricity for the last ten years 🤣🤣🤣
This is so PAINFULLY accurate!!!😂😂 And within this chaos you still managed to set up the behind the scenes for us patreoners.... honestly lads I'm impressed 😂
I may or may not have squealed when they said that...
Yes I got you!
This sketch saves on the energy bill in FAH Towers as well I presume - no heating needed with all the frantic running around to do the quick changes 😂
less lights too! nice one
I was sitting in the library while watching this and I was this close to burst into laughter! But thankfully I managed to be quiet, otherwise I should look for another place to charge my devices for free!
😅
😆😆😆
Can't believe this was one take with only two playing all those characters. Outstanding
Hilarious - and painfully accurate! The McCormacks should become advisors to the German government, their ideas sound remarkably like what some of our politicians already suggested.
Luminous tape around the toilet is just genius…
Thanks for a brilliant start into Thursday!
The buying a more efficient kettle thing was actually advice given by the then British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in one of his last public pronouncements in the role.
@@luxford60 Ah, thanks for that info! Seems like politicians are pretty much the same everywhere.
@@luxford60 oh God what a tool
No wonder they sagged him
@@kleinesgespenst7481 dumm, Welt fremd, arrogant und korrupt?
Oh ja das ist doch im Beruf mit inbegriffen.
Ich sag nur Waschlappen lol.
Aber die werden schon sehen wen die Leute bald die schnauze voll haben 😂🤣😂🤣
Thank you for making a stressful world situation funny!
I discovered you guys through your sketches about covid. I was very stressed and worried about the whole thing and you helped so much by making me laugh about it!
Now you're doing the same with the energy crisis. So thank you!
No problem Jenny, without you fine folks over lockdown, it would have been very tough for us
Europe isn't the entire world
You made this trouble for yourselves when decided to go for sanctions against Russia. Thanks to your government.
@@ankanmaiti9864 And yet, people can be in Europe and feel represented and consoled by European content creators. What a world, isn't it?
"Мировая ситуация"? О чём ты?
Hog outdoes himself with his constant looks of dispair here 😅
Yes lads! What a way to kick off the new sketch year!! 🤩 And you remembered to set up the behind-the-scenes camera to capture the changing chaos for the Patreoners!! You legends!!!
Just about!
@@foilarmsandhog 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺Well hello boys ... glad to see you back again !
Thank you for all your great skits during covid.
Missed your show in Portsmouth in 2019-2020 ? The posters were still up in late Feb - to early March 2020.
Came back to OZ just before our borders were closed !
Escaping out of OZ soon to UK and Ireland.
Do you have an itenary for stage shows from Oct ?
@@glendadowe Announcement of dates and ticket presale will first be on Patreon. If not already a member, sign up if you want good seats!
Always love all the character changes in these!
And very surprised he didn't propose showering together with Priscilla to save water, that would be very effective. Or he should've just gone over to her place, that would save even more. But less great for the sketch if all characters just went somewhere else to save energy :p
He definitely should have
Showering with a lad sounds fun... Until you realize some of them are uncivilized wild animals who pee in the shower
@@theninja4137 it SOUNDS fun, sure. But it depends on how roomy the shower is. It can get kind of cold if you’re the one not under the shower head. Lol
@@theninja4137 uugh😱
I'm moving into a bills included uni apartment half an hour from home... they have already informed me that they will be visiting the tumble dryer, not me 😂😂😂 love the chaos of these sketches!!!
Once upon a time uni students would bring their surly laundry home when they busted their family. Now it's the other way round.
Yeah absolutely!!
@@matthewparker9276 omg it is 😂😂😂😂
That is a great deal 😆
I just love watching Darren's increasingly distressed expression.
until hog starts to grin :D
I love the chaotic energy of this family😂😂😂
This sketch was laughs from start to finish, what a way to start my day, thanks lads! The story is so relatable funny and a little sad at the time.
Thanks Cris!
As I walked past the radiator in school this morning I briefly wondered what the reaction would be if people brought their laundry in to dry… I hadn’t even seen this sketch yet 😮😂🤣
We always sat on the radiator (the girls) until we absolutely burned ourselves and then the next one would sit down. By the time they were in pain, the others were cooled down and cold again, so we switched. A painful but effective way to stay warm that winter during lunchbreaks. Also we hung pur coats on the one opposite us (other side of the canteen) and the girls that were busy cooling down, would get the coats of the radiator-users and switch them. That way you could give them to the others when they stepped off and they'd get your coats. There was a system.
Where I said pur coats, it meant to say our coats
I can't get over the truly magnificent gradual corpsing at the ending, starting with Hog... 😄
haha, I got them so good.
I believe the last bit about sending Darren to the bath was written in the script just to get Hog up from the chair, out of petty jealousy that he gets to sit there when the other two are practically doing cardio.. Go ahead.. change my mind!! 😆
Haha
I love the chaotic energy of the McCormacks. The detail! Everyone in the same bath, the giant pink brazier, and the Boris Johnson tribute with the kettle. Great to see you back and refreshed lads.
Thanks Sue, great to be back!
You know it’s tough when you show this to your mum for laughs and she starts taking notes😭😭😭
Best way for the McCormacks to save on energy would be to invite Anne, Oisin, and Barry over. For a game of charades.
Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home...
That Iron Maiden shirt has seen so much. I weep for that tank top, it dies so that others may live.
Yeah same. Iconic
It only came out today, and I’ve watched it seven times. Double that for the last 10 seconds…something about getting ‘the corns softened up’ while Darren is being pushed with the axe is hilarious. Then the crack up about the bunion cream- brilliant!!!
When the sun goes down WE GO DOWN
Bloody brilliant 😂
My mind in the gutter always tbh
GOOD GOD MEGS
@@foilarmsandhog I know I won't be the only one that thought that 😂😂😂😂
@@megs_artion5127 Hahaha I've been through all the comments and I have some pretty unfortunate news for you 😂😂
The absolute speed with which you deliver the McCormack sketches is breathtaking. I'm scared that if I blink or even breathe I'll miss something. It's like a tornado blowing over the screen!
Paddy prodding Darren with the axe and Stephen's broken dreams! 😆🤣🤣
I legitimately laughed at “who’s getting into the bath with me?” 😁
As an Australian, I am very saddened by the energy crisis in Britain, but I was not aware Ireland was affected.
I visited Ireland in 2016 and loved every minute there, and the people were just as kind and friendly as I hoped.
Best wishes to you all.
👋👋👋👍🏼😘
whole Europe is affected.
It's the whole Europe and the reason is Ukrainian war. Russia is protesting against Europe cutting trade off. So they are cutting the electricity supply. (simple explanation!)
there is a energie crisis in whole of europe strange that you dont know this
Almost possible to describe as horror comedy in the current era. Superb sketch!
The whole refrigerator bit 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm now imagining Anne coming over for dinner and adding all that extra salt, blegh 😂
It's a French farce with Mary and Anne adding extra salt every time the other isn't looking. By the end you can barely see the ham. 😂
An Oisin & Mum/McCormacks crossover sketch!
When sun goes down, we go down 😂
"I put a luminescent tape around the toilet I don't want to hear any excuses" XD
Granny is getting quite fast 😄 my favourite energy saving idea in the sketch is wearing black clothing to absorb the sunlight :)
I love how Darren has exams coming up no matter what time of year
He's either very studious and taking all sorts of extras, or he's falling behind and doing a lot of resits. I fear given the chaotic, unsupportive nature of his home life it's the latter.
“I can still see the red light!” This is so my German husband!😂😂🤣
My mam too
This feels familiar... growing up in draught affected Australia, we had to shower standing in a bucket to catch every drop of precious water to then be able to water the garden or flush the toilet, but can only have 60 seconds for a shower. That's 3x20sec for shampoo, condition, soap, and rinse.
That's insane, wow!
@@SamFHntha I feel like my family took the water restrictions more seriously than most
@@theonlyenekoeneko I remember a photo if this, from the knees down, in an article on an Australian drought in the National Geographic decades ago. It passed through my mind when I watched this sketch, actually.
@@andrea8764 it was my only reality for most of my life! We got very used to it.
"We all have to do our bit, Darren". What landed next in the basket was totally unexpected. 😂😂
Fahntastic Statistic
Did you know this is the 11th appearance of the McCormack family? The first sketch is from June 2016 and the longest time between two McCormack sketches was more than 1.5 years from May 2018 until December 2019. The most watched McCormack sketch is Engagement Nightmare with 866K views!
Only 11? Huh, that's interesting!
All of them brilliant though
Wow, that's a long time between sketches!
Your stats are great. 👍
Do you do this for other channels? I think there's a market for this.
@@zanussidish8144 haha not yet, but thanks!
They just have to give us more McCormack sketches!
Your skit is the best sitcom ever. I don’t want it to stop. Sometimes goes a bit fast but that’s part of the funniness of it. I just watch it 2 or three times at a time. Very funny, so true and so gripping.
wait till he finds out that the sun is setting at 3pm in winter in Ireland. 🤣
Lads, this is brilliant and painfully relatable at the same time. Thanks to Paddy and Mary for giving us some useful tips on how to save energy!
They have no shame either so they'll survive
This sketch had some major stage play -vibes in it! Sometimes I forget you guys are doing stage acts as your main thing, but these kind of videos remind me of that fact.
We love it because of that
Ah, the McCormacks are always so painfully relatable! Poor Darren. Great sketch! :)
Poor darren my arse, he just sits there
Truly, spoken like a man running around like a nutter while a colleague takes it easy!😜😂
@@foilarmsandhog he's the glue that holds the sketch together, the anchor that keeps the boat moored!
The pace in these is so great. The hectic mess makes me feel more at ease with my own life.
Such a great sketch this week lads and it’s so so relatable too, electricity is way way too expensive here but it’s great you’re putting a comedic spin on it! 😁😂
Hope you guys had a good break too! 😊
Do you mind if I ask how much more expensive electricity is in Ireland now? I am not a European citizen...Is it really that much now?
@@CloudNumber23 I’m not completely sure because my parents are the ones who pay for electricity but they said they have noticed a difference since the last bill and it wasn’t a good difference
@@rebeccacasey8496 I see! Thank you 🌺
@@CloudNumber23 it's energy companies screwing over the people and the governments just let it happen
So disgraceful, useless governments.
I thought there where systems in place to prevent companies from dictating ridiculous prices but I guess not.
It’s not truly a Foil Arms & Hog video if they don’t break character in the last half-second.
Electricity crisis postcovid in a nutshell. Great sketch lads. Also love that they didnt edit out the end. They broke and started giggling. Having that done in 1 take is crazy.
Omg sell an ORGAN!!!!🎶 Only got that the second time I watched it🤪
"we could share body heat" 🤣🤣🤣
If only we could somehow absorb and use the chaotic energy of this family.
But it might prove too unstable and who knows, what the fallout may be?
"When the sun goes down, we go down"? Now that's a slogan that teenage boy can get behind!
I love the dad's logic in buying a new kettle in there. If my maths are correct (which is debatable, I'm only half-awake), it'll take them almost 29 years to make the kettle worth it! Yep', you made me do maths this morning. Still, really quite enjoyed the sketch, thanks FAH!
That was the part that made me laugh and groan at the same time. I know an alarmingly high number of people who would consider that a very reasonable way to save money.
Plus, as scientists, you know that the same amount of energy is used to raise the temperature of water, whatever the method.
This reminds me of a Jimmy Carr joke about the logic of buying a breadmaker when the shop across the road sold bread for pennies xD
The UK’s former Prime Minister actually suggested this on his last day in office.
@@suecole4723 aah, but some kettles take ages to switch off once they come to the boil, whilst others are very quick. I presume that's where the efficiency saving comes in.
Paddy and an axe really seems like a combination that can only go wrong 😂
The Ukainian colors on his t-shirt and jacket -- nice touch.
This sketch would have been ideal for The Snob.
An afternoon watching a Wim Wenders ensemble (mit der canapés) followed by an evening shivering in a bedsit.
The snob definitely charges his phone in the library
Is this a sketch? Sounds like it will be a documentary soon in a lot of countries.
Great acting all around!
Yeah, here some university dorms are already banning heating devices 🙈
I smell Revolution seasons coming up in Europe 😂🤣
Eh, not so much in the US. Still 13 cents per kWh here while the UK pays 34 pence (37.6 cents) per kWh.
I know Germany is worse though.
We're gonna get as much LNG to you guys as we possibly can. The UK are our Brothers after all.
@@janus3555 yeah, but four times more expensive as it is for you.
You really made good use of all the clutter in the office, didn't you? Sooo much stuff Paddy could carry around with him! 😜
That office is insane 🤯😂
"Bring your own hot water with you the next time. Do you hear me?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The bath with granny was the moment that cracked me up 😂 Just when you think it can't get any worse ...
The fact I just realised by breaking in to the neighbours wall you Could use their heating 😂😂😂
Imagine yelling through the wall to turn their AC up/down haha. The AUDACITY of it.
….some really great ideas there! I‘ve taken notes! 😂
How you come up with these witty sketches every week is just so impressiv! And I really loved the outro in this one…🥰
That fancy quick pan 🤩😂
you snook Boris's kettle in - FAB!!! 🤣
I started CRYING-LAUGHING at "And I put luminescent tape around the toilet bowl so NO excuses." Which would have been fine if I hadn't been drinking water at the time. In the middle of the office. Still worth it.
So you are saying my wife declared me ridiculously insane rightfully for putting luminiscent tape on door handles, stairs, lightswitches AND toilet like... 5y ago?
Am I funy crazy man? Was I 5y ahead? Am I new normal?
wow starting off strong with the subtitles "Piano Playing (Not Great)"
Ahaha, a humble lad indeed 😂
Twas far better than I could do. Though I can play a pretty damn good Hot Cross Buns.
IIRC Arms does the subtitles. As least he’s the one answering comments here.
@@sweetsandcharades8383 He does yep, Hog does the subtitles 😊
That barely suppressed laugh on 'get the bunion cream' 🤣
I need to be careful with sharing it with my family, someone might take the ideas seriously!
And spending 150€ just to save 10ct a month, yeah, that is painfully accurate.
The 100 euro on candles as well
@@foilarmsandhog True!
I highly appreciate the professional editing at 0:52 of adding a beer-opening sound when he opened the open can
If they bought an expensive antique piano they could play it without worrying about electricity.
The McCormack sketches have the highest number of underwear appearances 😆 I've always wondered whether I'd rather freeze or roast to death, in the absence of either heaters or fans/ACs.
**flips clipboard paper** ah sorry Junette, we're going to need an answer on that one...
🏜
@@SamFHntha End of the world scenarios 😜
Painfully accurate. And then in the next morning you realize that the mother left on the radio for the whole night.
Turn on the subtitles, it starts with : "Piano playing (not great)"
Clearly he needs to patch it up with his friend and stay at his house until his family gives up on the utility bill.
I suddenly realize I'm that nutty mom who turns all the lights off in the house. Except I have no children.
Looking good after your holidays, lads!
And what a great comeback! The McCormack sketches are just SO good, for so many reasons. They even make me laugh without sound, because all of the running around is just hilarious.

It could be heard as so dirty 😂
@@SamFHntha 😆 🤣 and here I was just thinking along the lines of asking people to be home by six, have dinner, lights out at eight 😆 lucky thing Alanis Morissette had a line in her famous song that educated me about that word 😳 😆

Excellent!😃
Ok, you managed to embarrass all the junior McCormacks, but not in the way I was expecting 😂
I'm sure once Paddy has stopped stressing out he'll have a few ideas on keeping Mary warm...providing his mother-in-law isn't still there 😬
THere was matching underwear in that shop, maybe I should have...
Oh my God, your fingers are just always on the pulse on what's happening in the world at the moment! Great sketch! 🤣👍
Thank you, love this family! And so many great ideas for saving energy, too! Truly the great educators :D
This sketch opened my eyes to how I'm acting with my family 🤣. To my defense though, prizes are rediculous and we're poor 🤷♀️
It also gave me so many new ideas 🤔
Love this family of 3/4/5/6! They are so talented! I missed sweet Anne on this one though.
Whos getting in the bath with grannie.. they are busing a gut laughing as they walk out 😅
Ah the MacCormacks are back!😀
How topical, too...
Hey Folks we're over in the USA & Canada this November - Tickets here: www.foilarmsandhog.ie/tour
Okay I change my mind, pin this one instead, so you can afford to refrigerate your hams this Christmas.
Sometimes I write comments that I regret later. I think this will be one of those times.
Nah…it’s funny, Sam!
@@SamFHntha do we need to start a FAH comments out of context Twitter?
@@IntensivePorpoise Oh dear.... I mean if we must 😔 😆😂
"We're a terrorist house!" That's what I heard the first time I watched this. Had to go back with captions.
Bold of you to assume that the school can afford to have radiators on.
A new motto: when the sun goes down, we go down......great sketch!
No idea how it all is in your neck of the woods but our 1400 square foot home just had a $634 electric bill in Hawaii last month. For reference, we wash our clothes in cold water and have no AC. I laughed so hard at the salted meats, I'm about there my friends. Also the red light on the keyboard is SO spot on. 😂
Yeah, you guys pay WAY too much for electricity. In most states, it's 13-14 cents per kWh which is a stark difference from the UK at 38 cents and Germany at around 40 or so cents per kWh. It's kinda ridiculous when you think about it. Hawaii has the benefit of not requiring much AC and no heat, but 38 cents per kWh still hurts badly.
Benefit to cheap power is because we have nuclear and an abundance of cheap LNG. While Europe has an issue with LNG, Nuclear is something they should have invested in for the last decade.
I'm happy that they have enough power to even film this!
Paddy needs an electric car then he can try charge that at the library too 😆
Haha! Yes! He'd have no shame walking an extension cord to the window too 😂
Had to take a break from work when I saw, what this video's about!
It's hilarious😂 especially the dad, who spends more money with the improvments, than he'd gain😆 perfect!😁
It's so funny 😂🤣🤣
"I have done a very clever thing - I have taken the motor out of the lawnmower so now we have a push lawnmower, that'll save a few quid"

Keeping notes throughout the video to get through winter 😂 amazing sketch altogether guys, thanks for yet another great Thursday morning
Brilliant as always lads! The hallway looks amazing, well done to the set guru 😂
