You know what I love about these sketches? Most people would just make material out of stereotypes, but you guys actually do your research about internal topics that most foreigners won't think of but natives definitely would relate too. That's exactly why they're not offensive, because the folk living there probably thinks the same thing!
Ah thanks that's very kind. We definitely don't get them all right, and sometimes they can land a bit roughly, but we do try to have at least one that ONLY the locals will get!
@@foilarmsandhog is worth the effort. This one was brilliant, even the bit I didn't understand. Having them chased out for being in the fringe festival was 👩🍳😘
as an Australian woman, i can only admire your claim from afar... i think the Scots are the only ones better at swearing than us, but then you do have Billy Connolly.
I remember working for a company in Dublin having many customers in Scotland and when they phoned in my Irish colleagues from Dublin were terrified....one of them after a phone call with an angry Scottish customer said: I have no clue of what he was talking about, I only understood "fuck"..🤣
I’m Australian and one of our neighbours was Scottish and I use to run when he was around as I never understood a word he said and it was embarrassing to ask him to repeat himself over and over. I swear they don’t speak English.
Fun times. A few years agoy entire family were in Scotland for my wife’s work (we’re American). As we’re checking into the hotel in Edinburgh, I’m talking with the receptionist about places to eat and things to do in the area for the family while my wife is working. My 4 year old son starts urgently pulling on my arm, and I lean down to see what he needs. With a very confused look on his face he asks: “daddy, what language is she speaking?” 😂
My parents were both Glaswegians and migrated to Australia in 1955. I spent my young life translating to Australians everything my parents said. Back then, I actually considered myself bilingual! 🤣😂🤣😂
A Scottish friend taught me to ask the age old question of men in kilts like this: Q: Is anything worn under the kilt? (A: No it's in excellent working condition, thank you!) 😉
As someone who had to wear a kilt at least once a week throughout school... it's made of heavy, rather scratchy wool. You really, really want to wear something under it. Really.
@@hjalfi a few years back we were in the Czech Republic with a traveling group and there was a Scottish/Czech wedding and the Scottish lads wore kilts.

Ahh yes, very clever using Scottish Immigration this week on the heels of a favourite live sketch last week. Clever advertising lads, it’s almost like you’re wanting us to come see you at the fringe 😜 Have an amazing time lads, both you & everyone who gets to see you 😀
The confusion over how to answer the whisky/whiskey question! 🤣🤣Hope you had a great opener last night, and you were OK getting back out there after 2 years away. See you on 24th, enjoy the rest of your Fringe, take care, guys xx
@@antygona-iq8ew Ireland was famous for whisky until a new faster method was invented. The Irish distilleries rejected it so the inventor took it to Scotland where it became very successful. The Irish then changed the spelling to Whiskey to try and differentiate traditional Irish Whiskey from the new fangled stuff. Both are good but in slightly different ways. Irish whiskey is smoother but Scotch has stronger flavours.
I rewatched your immigration series just yesterday, this time specifically looking for a Scottish one and was upset to see there was none, imagine how surprised I am to see this now! Terrific work as always, thanks for this!
As an Italian, I want to thank the Scottish community for the support you showed our team at the Euro 2020 finals 😁👍🏻 Small edit: WTF HAS HAPPENED DOWN HERE?!!!
Fahntastic Statisic - week 53 In the beginning of December I tweeted that FAH had 18 sketches with more than 1M views on RUclips. Last week, the 'Different governments ordering Pizza' sketch was the 28th sketch to reach the 1M mark. So in the last 8 months, 10 more sketches joined the 1M views club!
I feel like this would keep happening even if Scotland got their independence. People still call Westlife and Boyzone British bands. And yet they never fail to correctly call U2 Irish.
@@dannyarcher6370 Not really. When the English invaded Ireland, Scotland was a seperate independent nation and not part of a United Kingdom. So it was just the English on their own,
Go to the show! Buy your tickets! Go go go! The show was absolutely fantastic last night. Very funny, heaps of smiles and joy! Look at this enthusiasm and postivity from a Scottish person. That's what's you've done. Aye, good times!

Hi there ! I'm a French fan who'll be visiting Edinburgh in two weeks and thanks to this sketch I just realized you're curently touring there and will be when I'm around ! So I'll be able to come and see your show ! I'm so excited !

All the best with the show, lads. I'll be in to see you on the weekend. You'd better get revising if you want to get into the country next time: Q- Which Scottish town was most recently occupied by an invading English force? A- St Andrew's, during Freshers' week. Q- What was created in Dundee and has entertained generations of Scottish children? A- Grand Theft Auto Q- Which of the following were invented in Scotland... "All of them" A- I hadn't finished, but correct. Q- Which endangered species has been preserved in a multi-million pound enclosure in Edinburgh? A- The Scottish Conservative party Q-- Which question has caused the most conflict in recent Scottish history? A- What are you looking at? Enjoy the fringe, and no, I don't want a flyer.
The Scottish didn't invent everything. We Aussies invented wifi, car radios, push mowers and pacemakers. Pretty much everything else is Scottish though, including the concept of capitalism.
Thanks for the awesome video as always! I'm from South Korea so a lot of jokes from this series goes over my head but still the set up and how it is delievered is so much fun!

This made me even more excited for my holidays and for your show 🥳👏👏 Thanks for all the tipps, lads! That'll help us be allowed out of the airport in no time! Enjoy the shows 🙌
I expected that for this week. I do remember another of your videos about the Fringe and I really hope you won't have to live in a cupboard this time and can enjoy this, most likely, incredibly stressful time. May your show be a big success! Wish I could be there, but I will see you in the fall (I blame Boris Johnson, because I'm not paying for a new passport just for the Fringe.)
Arms, are there any accents you haven't already nailed? I keep wondering if the next country sketch can even come close to the previous one, and you put out an even better, more funny one. 😂♥️ Good luck for the Fringe!
Let him try a Latvian or Estonian accent 😀 Those are very specific, with very clearly pronounced consonants and an unusual melody to it that is hard to nail, a bit like Swedish but different 😃
1: The whiskey answer was absolute comedy gold. 2: As a former citizen of Edinburgh, my lord is that true. I loved the city to bits, except for the festival months... *shudders*
I can't believe this, I'm litrally driving round the edge of Edinburgh whilst the fringe is happening... always wanted to go and see you lads there... but we couldn't find anywhere to camp!!! Or park for that matter... have a great time lads!!!
Thanks for the sketch, funny how you incorporated the Fringe at the end! And I loved seeing your venue in the outro, too. Good luck (not that you need it)!
I‘m on holiday in Scotland (sadly only until tomorrow), and one thing I’ve noticed is how friendly everyone is. You feel right at home! I like it a lot here
@@ericpraline Everywhere like where? Are you an ethnic Yank native USian of USA America? If so I could understand that then, but if you're a Frenchman, then France must be a very unfriendly country or wherever you come from to think Scots are overly 'friendly' everywhere, most actual real Scots don't live in the touristy areas, Scots number about 600,000 in Edinburgh but during the Fringe this doubles to more than a million when the foreigners come to fund the economy during the month of August most years before they go back home or where they originally came from, so during that time, most foreigners who visit Scotland don't really see a lot of Scots or the real Scotland and if they did see some Scots, they barely understand them anyway, but they see the dressed up touristy Scotland with all the stereotypes, with bells and whistles attached etc. Scotland is mostly a decent country in some ways but in others not so much, but for what it is good at, there is a reason for that, because it's not a cosmopolitan community like London, it retains much of its self, tradition and people etc. If it was cosmopolitan, it would end up being another London full of foreigners and/or segregated communities for the children of all foreigners.
@@steveburnside3242 I‘m Swiss, and while people are friendly here, too (albeit somewhat reserved), and my experiences with abroad (Europe only, so far) have been good-especially the French open up if they see that you’re actually trying to communicate in their language-, but it was a different kind of ‚friendliness‘, if I may, that we encountered in Scotland. We visited Edinburgh (just before the Fringe, and even then the many touristy shops and the „authentic“ folklore were somewhat annoying. Also, we went to Glasgow and stayed in Perth for a bit. (What I’m impressed about is that even in supermarkets people were really friendly and helpful despite having every right not to after a long day. I’ve encountered staff before who just say ‚there‘ roughly and point because apparently you’ve interrupted a vital task and you’re not worth their time.)
…it must have been painful to answer the whiskey question!😂 I hope you had a great start of the Fringe festival! I am so looking forward to seeing your new show next week!🤩
Got to love how in every sketch, they look at one another at the start. Also, the monster part is specifically because of what he said on Mock The Week, wasn't it?
Alles Gute für Euren Monat in Edinburgh! Ich drücke Euch die Daumen, dass alles reibungslos klappt mit „Hogwash“. So ein schöner Veranstaltungsort, den Ihr da habt! Freue mich, Euch bald wieder zu sehen. :)
Let's start a thread of love for the lads! If you think they'll be amazing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, reply "Doomdah!" (you can customise your doomdah however you want!) I'll start you off! Ready? Ehhhh....
Guten Morgen Arms! ☀️ Hast du gut geschlafen? Wie war es, nach so einer langen Pause zurück zum Fringe zu kommen? Ich hoffe, ihr hattet mega viel Spaß gestern! Toi toi toi für die weiteren Shows! ✊🏼
I discovered your channel just a week ago and now I'm binging on all your videos :-) You guys are incredible!!! Could you pleeeease do a show in Prague or somewhere nearby? :-)
I believe their European tour is starting relatively soon, your closest dates are probably in Germany somewhere, if that's not too far to travel? (Sorry, I'm Australian, I'm bad at judging relative distances in Europe. 😂)
@@EmmaLiza Thank you! :-) Yes, it is possible to travel there, but most dates in Germany (as well as Vienna, which is the nearest for me) are already sold out.
Your command of the Scottish accent is second to none! Those questions! Those answers! The look or your faces when the first question is asked the second time is a killer! 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏
Hi Arms, best of luck with all the fringe shows. So sad I can't be there but I'm sure you'll be absolutely amazing! I have another would you rather question for ya, would you rather speak fluently in 16 languages or be able to communicate with animals? Thanks in advance
This is my fave immigration sketch yet!!!! I laughed so hard and genuinely wondered how they were gonna get out of tge Whiskey question 🤣🤣🤣 The acting was so good! And I loved that Arms had a real character in this one, lol. When he said Fring was the biggest pain in the arse I 1000% believed him! 🤣🤣🤣 Have fun in Edinburgh lads!

May your show be a big success! Wish I could be there, but I will see you in the fall (I blame Boris Johnson, because I'm not paying for a new passport just for the Fringe.)
That is fair enough I suppose 😅
I bet they have separate beds and EVERYTHING! 😆😊
Love you guys!!! So very clever and and naturally intuitive of the countries. XO from British Columbia, Canada.
Arms, are there any accents you haven't already nailed? I keep wondering if the next country sketch can even come close to the previous one, and you put out an even better, more funny one. 😂♥️
Good luck for the Fringe!
I fairly murdered the italian one in fairness, but the canadian one is the one i'm most proud of!
Spanish immigration maybe?
@@foilarmsandhog As a Canadian, I agree, your 🇨🇦 accent is exceptional👌🏼👏🏻😄
Let him try a Latvian or Estonian accent 😀 Those are very specific, with very clearly pronounced consonants and an unusual melody to it that is hard to nail, a bit like Swedish but different 😃
@@foilarmsandhog naw, you did fairly well with the italian accent, all things considered!
I love the characters' coordinated outfits 😄
All the best for your new show!
Omg I didn't even notice 😂 thank you ^^
I have been waiting for you to do a Scottish version in this series and it did not disappoint! 😂😂 Loved it!
At least yee came to a diplomatic answer on the big Whiskey question 🤣 And the jab at Frankie Boyle as well!
I’m Scottish and I’m already laughing at the what? answer to the first question 😂
Still can't believe i met you guys at one of your shows in April, and when Hog smacked me on the head with my notepad after asking for a signaturem🤣🤣🤣
haha he tends to do that
😂😂😂
I llike how they pay close attention to every question asked. These guys really like to visit Scotland
I’m reminded of Frankie Boyle’s remark that, if they wanted Wembley Stadium demolished on the cheap they only need ask Scottish football fans.
1: The whiskey answer was absolute comedy gold.
2: As a former citizen of Edinburgh, my lord is that true. I loved the city to bits, except for the festival months... *shudders*
"Not England." Hahahaha
Staying one the safe side, eh lads. We all know what an American would have answered.
Loved it guys. Good luck on the tour.
I thought that's a really nice venue!
Then I remembered its in edinburgh all the buildings look this nice
Haha! True!
Stayed awake to watch this..always looking forward to your weekly videos. Hope you guys know, you are simply the best! ❤️
Ah nice one! Sleep well
I can't believe this, I'm litrally driving round the edge of Edinburgh whilst the fringe is happening... always wanted to go and see you lads there... but we couldn't find anywhere to camp!!! Or park for that matter... have a great time lads!!!
Whaaa? Oh no!! Rent a car and park on someone's lawn if you have to!!! 😂
@@SamFAHntha it's so close... but yet so far... I dred to think what a nightmare driving round Edinburgh would be like anyways
I would love to see "Getting pass Mexican immigration" sketch!!! So many material for a 10 minutes sketch for sure!
The reply from immigration officer after each answer was the best compared to other officers in other videos
Scottish here, that moment when you answer the questions with the same answers! Can confirm accurate video 😂
Thanks for the sketch, funny how you incorporated the Fringe at the end! And I loved seeing your venue in the outro, too. Good luck (not that you need it)!
Ah thanks so much!
Aww how lovely!
Where are you from freeindeed? (by that of course I mean, when is your next FAH gig?) 😃
@@SamFAHntha I'm in the US (California), so my next gig is in November 😊
you missed "what goes down as the worst date in Scottish history?"... 1966... we never hear the f-in' end of it!
As always a great sketch 👏 But poor Travis, they're a great band!
I‘m on holiday in Scotland (sadly only until tomorrow), and one thing I’ve noticed is how friendly everyone is. You feel right at home! I like it a lot here
That's not how it really is, that's just the touristy parts of Edinburgh, that foreigners go to.
@@steveburnside3242 we were elsewhere, too
@@ericpraline Everywhere like where? Are you an ethnic Yank native USian of USA America? If so I could understand that then, but if you're a Frenchman, then France must be a very unfriendly country or wherever you come from to think Scots are overly 'friendly' everywhere, most actual real Scots don't live in the touristy areas, Scots number about 600,000 in Edinburgh but during the Fringe this doubles to more than a million when the foreigners come to fund the economy during the month of August most years before they go back home or where they originally came from, so during that time, most foreigners who visit Scotland don't really see a lot of Scots or the real Scotland and if they did see some Scots, they barely understand them anyway, but they see the dressed up touristy Scotland with all the stereotypes, with bells and whistles attached etc.
Scotland is mostly a decent country in some ways but in others not so much, but for what it is good at, there is a reason for that, because it's not a cosmopolitan community like London, it retains much of its self, tradition and people etc. If it was cosmopolitan, it would end up being another London full of foreigners and/or segregated communities for the children of all foreigners.
@@steveburnside3242 I‘m Swiss, and while people are friendly here, too (albeit somewhat reserved), and my experiences with abroad (Europe only, so far) have been good-especially the French open up if they see that you’re actually trying to communicate in their language-, but it was a different kind of ‚friendliness‘, if I may, that we encountered in Scotland.
We visited Edinburgh (just before the Fringe, and even then the many touristy shops and the „authentic“ folklore were somewhat annoying.
Also, we went to Glasgow and stayed in Perth for a bit. (What I’m impressed about is that even in supermarkets people were really friendly and helpful despite having every right not to after a long day.
I’ve encountered staff before who just say ‚there‘ roughly and point because apparently you’ve interrupted a vital task and you’re not worth their time.)
You three absolutely bring a smile to my day! Love your talent, every time!
I am a Scotsman and I endorse this video👍🏼
my brother introduced me to you lot and you didnt disappoint me in any of your sketches.. excellent research and spot on delivery .. love it guys ..
Another masterpiece :)! Loved the accent and the facial expressions Foil was making trying to understand it :) Thank you for the laugh as always .
Oh! So THAT‘S why Foil had the gormless expression! I‘d wondered😂
…it must have been painful to answer the whiskey question!😂
I hope you had a great start of the Fringe festival! I am so looking forward to seeing your new show next week!🤩
Anything to get in!
@@foilarmsandhog if the immigration officer had read the subtitle he'd have had a different reaction! Think you showed your true colours there lads.
I think I'd have answered "depends on how you spell it."
The whiskey answer should be included in Diplomats training worldwide
Got to love how in every sketch, they look at one another at the start.
Also, the monster part is specifically because of what he said on Mock The Week, wasn't it?
Lovely to meet you last night after your amazing first show last night! This sketch fits so well. Brilliant Frankie Boyle joke there! 😂 xx
Thanks Mija! You can thank Hog for that particular joke
Alles Gute für Euren Monat in Edinburgh! Ich drücke Euch die Daumen, dass alles reibungslos klappt mit „Hogwash“. So ein schöner Veranstaltungsort, den Ihr da habt!
Freue mich, Euch bald wieder zu sehen. :)
Ich auch, für dich!!! 😃😊❤️
@@SamFAHntha ❤️
Let's start a thread of love for the lads!
If you think they'll be amazing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, reply "Doomdah!" (you can customise your doomdah however you want!)
I'll start you off! Ready?
Ehhhh....
DoomdaaaaAAAHHHH!
[Arms' opera voice]
Doom-dAaAaAaAaAh~
(I really loved the Italian Immigration sketch, ok)
DOOOMDAAAAaaaaaAAAAAAHHH
Dooomdaaaahhhhh
DoomdaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAHHHH
Coming to see you in Edinburgh this next Saturday!
As a Scotland fan, I'd suggest you guys to check out a Scottish comedy show called "Still Game". You'll be pissin' yerself
I love these guys. 😂😂😂 I'm so glad I was guided to your channel. Sending love from Los Angeles, California.🙏🏿💖
Guten Morgen Arms! ☀️
Hast du gut geschlafen? Wie war es, nach so einer langen Pause zurück zum Fringe zu kommen? Ich hoffe, ihr hattet mega viel Spaß gestern!
Toi toi toi für die weiteren Shows! ✊🏼
Ich hab nicht so lang geschlafen. Kein Pause, aber es is mir egal, ich screibe Komedie.... ich kann mich nicht beschweren
@@foilarmsandhog 😊
Da sagt man, Ich kann mich nicht genug beschweren :)
Looking forward to seeing Hogwash in person next Friday! Wanted to see you in Portsmouth in 2020 but COVID hit :/
How’s the fringe festival going so far, lads? 😊🏴
So far so good, really can't complain. The hard years were done in 2009/10!
@@foilarmsandhog smooth sailing 😎 enjoy!
Was having a bad day until I saw this video, been hoping for a Scottish immigration sketch for ages. Absolutely spot on!
Yay! I'm happy for you Kyle! Have a lovely day!
I discovered your channel just a week ago and now I'm binging on all your videos :-) You guys are incredible!!! Could you pleeeease do a show in Prague or somewhere nearby? :-)
I believe their European tour is starting relatively soon, your closest dates are probably in Germany somewhere, if that's not too far to travel? (Sorry, I'm Australian, I'm bad at judging relative distances in Europe. 😂)
Prague and copenhagen and somewhere in Switzerland are a real goal for next year, we'll see what happens
@@EmmaLiza Thank you! :-) Yes, it is possible to travel there, but most dates in Germany (as well as Vienna, which is the nearest for me) are already sold out.
@@foilarmsandhog Awesome! 🙂 If Prague works out, I will send all my English language students to see your show 🙂
Your command of the Scottish accent is second to none!
Those questions! Those answers! The look or your faces when the first question is asked the second time is a killer!
🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏
You can just imagine the interviewers anger face
Hi Arms, best of luck with all the fringe shows. So sad I can't be there but I'm sure you'll be absolutely amazing! I have another would you rather question for ya, would you rather speak fluently in 16 languages or be able to communicate with animals? Thanks in advance
Ah animals! for sure!!
Requesting another would you rather question for him next week please 😁🥺
@@SamFAHntha defo will try and make it a weekly thing ahah, the answers are so very interesting!
@@sophstar15 Yes!!!
*does a victory dance*
*keeps dancing*
*now it's unrelated*
@@SamFAHntha *is very happy because dancing is always incredible*... *starts dancing too*
Coming to see u guys at the fringe! Mad excited!!
Ahhhh that's AWESOME Kath!!! Have the bestest time!!! 🥳😊
This is my fave immigration sketch yet!!!! I laughed so hard and genuinely wondered how they were gonna get out of tge Whiskey question 🤣🤣🤣 The acting was so good! And I loved that Arms had a real character in this one, lol. When he said Fring was the biggest pain in the arse I 1000% believed him! 🤣🤣🤣 Have fun in Edinburgh lads!
Ahaha... Travis. Jeez remember them. Hog looks like he's going to burst out laughing the whole time. Can't wait to see the outtakes
That Scottish accent wasn’t too bad too be fair, I feel as though you could occasionally hear it slipping in to Irish but all around not bad
It's been a minute since yall showed up in my feed. Not disappointed one bit. Good luck at the festival lads
Can confirm that they are indeed at Edinburgh and that they're hilarious. Worth the strange immigration process ...
Hahaha nice 😆
Very appropriate sketch. Very happy to see you being back at the Fringe! Hope you have a great month!
Great to see you yesterday, hope you had a good night!
@@foilarmsandhog I did! Thank you very much!
These comments are what dreams are made of haha 😍
UBER happy for you Turtle! Have you another gig tonight?
Foil's face is the best !
Booked my ticket yesterday! 😄 didn't realise you were in McEwan Hall - very fancy!
Right??! I think I wowed out loud haha!
Proud to be Italian and thus having contributed to Scotland's greatest victory !
1:19 At the monster question I was convinced that is Shrek. And again, that would also be the answer to the question of "What is the strong and beautiful mythical creature that represents Scotland?"
Why is he doing a Belfast accent?
(I'll show myself out)
DYLAN KING DON'T YOU DARE
Bahahaha you made him maaaaad!.....
.... Well done you 😆😂
We watched your show last night. We had a great time! My wife loved the luggages sketch.
**in snob voice** Ah, an outside doomdah. Gritty audio, to be sure, but the authenticity does add a sort of je ne sais quoi...
Haha *Snob voice* indeed mmm yes...
Brilliant, and nice twist with the plug for the show.
Wait a second...when did you film this if Foil is clean shaven?!
I'm guessing they did a batch filming day 😁
@@SamFAHntha Right
Because I was surprised by the number of face hair Foiley sports now. 😃
@@anonymous_selkie He is clean shaven for the shows now so it looks like he took his razor with him. And this is the last time I'm talking about his facial hair cuz I feel weird xD
@@anonymous_selkie BTW, I was hoping they would do at least one sketch in the place they are staying in atm but it might not have been the same as in 2019.
@@anjalovse They might film a sketch in the place they're staying, regardless of whether it is the place they stayed before. We'll have to see what the other Thursdays in August bring! 😊
You know its midnight on the west coast of North America when the Foil Arms and Hog alert hits
Big fan of your alarm there!
