Dr BlackCoffee and who told you India was an uneducated nation? We didn't spoke English, that doesn't mean we didn't had education? One of the worlds oldest university is in India.
Dr BlackCoffee dear DrBlackCoffee clearly you have made up your mind about British colonial rule, and are willing to boil it all down to proper use of "there" just to cling to your claims (even though you were the one who clearly missed few crucial chapters on exploitation of India by Britishers). I don't see any point in continuing this conversation any further, as anything I would say wouldn't really matter to you or your false perception of reality. I wish you the best and hope you would give history books a chance; you would be surprised how different the world is from what you perceive. P.S. and if you have to criticise my education, may I suggest targeting Canadian education system(I'm not educated from India)
@manos tzortzoulakis Most of their lives are crap cause British Empire (and other European powers) 1) Drew border lines not caring for nations they were dividing which set up most of today's conflicts that they are fleeing; 2) Used colonies only as cheap source of resources or a sure market which will buy the colonizers production, sonot letting the area develop; 3) Left huge power vacuums and underdeveloped continent. But sure, history has nothing to do with the present. How to deal with the crisis should be up to debate, not if your country specifically had any hand in creating it (which it did).
@manos tzortzoulakis You seem to misunderstand. I am not an immigrant, I am a citizen of EU. I just have some human empathy and knowledge of history. And I specifically said that how to deal with crisis is up to debate (I don't think letting them into Europe is good for everybody) but you seem to think that since those countries no longer have the label of Great Britain's colony, it has nothing to do with you.
@Nogent 1) "Its their problem" YOU draw those lines with a pencil and a ruler and todays conflicts are directly linked to european colonialism. Its not about maturity, the conflicts you see are the process of getting "rid of borders". 2) Not very much, but yes 3) "definetly not europes problem" Of course it its our problem for fucks sake, we have activly (and GB the very most) hold back the places we colonized, we gathered every Penny, every resource and every working force avialable to put it in our pockets, to built fantasic castles, to make our life better. You just cant deny that your are responsible for the situations in yopur former colonies. You need to mature, not the people that "argue over borders".

Look we don't hold any ill will now, but don't just brush over history.
Dr BlackCoffee and who told you India was an uneducated nation? We didn't spoke English, that doesn't mean we didn't had education? One of the worlds oldest university is in India.
Dr BlackCoffee dear DrBlackCoffee clearly you have made up your mind about British colonial rule, and are willing to boil it all down to proper use of "there" just to cling to your claims (even though you were the one who clearly missed few crucial chapters on exploitation of India by Britishers). I don't see any point in continuing this conversation any further, as anything I would say wouldn't really matter to you or your false perception of reality. I wish you the best and hope you would give history books a chance; you would be surprised how different the world is from what you perceive.
P.S. and if you have to criticise my education, may I suggest targeting Canadian education system(I'm not educated from India)
*_Imagine invading and colonizing the world then wanting to leave a union because of migrants and refugees you helped create lmao_*
@manos tzortzoulakis Most of their lives are crap cause British Empire (and other European powers) 1) Drew border lines not caring for nations they were dividing which set up most of today's conflicts that they are fleeing; 2) Used colonies only as cheap source of resources or a sure market which will buy the colonizers production, sonot letting the area develop; 3) Left huge power vacuums and underdeveloped continent.
But sure, history has nothing to do with the present. How to deal with the crisis should be up to debate, not if your country specifically had any hand in creating it (which it did).
@manos tzortzoulakis You seem to misunderstand. I am not an immigrant, I am a citizen of EU. I just have some human empathy and knowledge of history. And I specifically said that how to deal with crisis is up to debate (I don't think letting them into Europe is good for everybody) but you seem to think that since those countries no longer have the label of Great Britain's colony, it has nothing to do with you.
@manos tzortzoulakis You do realise that *illegal* immigrants aren't going to stop just because you say it's illegal for them to do it
@manos tzortzoulakis I don't get your point.
@Nogent 1) "Its their problem" YOU draw those lines with a pencil and a ruler and todays conflicts are directly linked to european colonialism. Its not about maturity, the conflicts you see are the process of getting "rid of borders".
2) Not very much, but yes
3) "definetly not europes problem" Of course it its our problem for fucks sake, we have activly (and GB the very most) hold back the places we colonized, we gathered every Penny, every resource and every working force avialable to put it in our pockets, to built fantasic castles, to make our life better.
You just cant deny that your are responsible for the situations in yopur former colonies.
You need to mature, not the people that "argue over borders".
Brexit for dummies....... This is now my official reference for anyone that needs an explanation on BREXIT
Never realized we (Europe) are SO CUTE!! Instead of bothering with Britain, we should just be gay with Australia!
hell yeh
totally, they are already part of the Eurovision Song contest.
Australia could also be female ;)
They are too far away
Ya think Australia would bother joining an empire?
Thanks for giving Europe a French accent ! Here in France, we always believe Germany is in charge of everything concerning Europe ...
I think it's Belgium French for the EU departement in Bruxelles
Yeah, you guys lose to the Belgians, so...
Too bad this is a belgian guy tho
Well how many belgians believe that EU have a belgian french accent? Not many. They are probably more used to every "accent" of english there is in Europe. And of course those from all over that work in EU that try to speak french as well. In Belgium they also speak Flemish so EU could have that accent to.
For you english the europeans speak french, for french people Europeans speak german and for us swedish europeans speak danish??? Oh yeah i am as well a european... forgot that somewhere a long the line.. hey.
Ahahaha something I noticed when I watch these guys; they're really good at foreign accents :P Hats off to you lads, Always great to see ye come up with such clever skits. Rooting ye on from Dublin :D
I know, their Irish accents are particularly spot on 👌
Particularly remedial Dublish!
Summarises the situation pretty well tbh 😂
Hog looks fabulous in every costume
Now *that's* satire!
Laffed as poor little N'oren Ireland passed through crying, too clever!

@@cakeisyummy5755 Jaysus! Seriously? You watch Irish comedians doing hilarious sketches & want to get pissy about someones spelling? You must be a humourless soul. ☹
@@DeirdreMcNamara Must be challenging being another drama queen Karen lacking a sense of humour and reading into every comment as an insult, grow up or call a manager, you're good at that!!
Conveys a poignant current relationship between the UK & EU. Despite an opinionated country and continued political squabbling, the reality is very close to what has been enacted in your sketch! Brilliant. Best was the N.I part.👌
The Scottish at the end was a wee bonus!
You guys are so good at personification. Brilliant.
I love how Britain is dressed as Mary Poppins.... :D
Mary poppin wasn't blond.
You beat me to it, but I didn't see until now. And, no, not blond, but it's the hat and shirt for sure.
@Ed, this...this was not needed whatsoever. How'd you managed to make someone dressed as Mary Poppins into something political?
@Ed, OPs comment wasn't political nor an idea, though. She was simply expressing that she loves something. Mary Poppins is based in Victorian England, so Carol noticed that someone who is pretending to be a country is dressed as a character based in that country and loved it.
Tono JBell Edwardian England. Early 20th Century. It’s like confusing the 1950’s with the 1970’s...
Meanwhile on tinder..
Britain: recently walked out of a stable relationship to "find myself"
and redeem my lost pride...
#FOMOWTO
also into wishful thinking and ruining perfectly working arrangements..
"pride"
I swipe left 😂
Has it been stable? Ask for a backgroud check on someone moving into the country?.. oh right :/
@@adarktrap7361 if the brits don't like it why did they agree to it?
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 sounded like a good idea at the time. 🤦♂️
Hetalia meets Monty Python with a wee dash of Horrible Histories! 😂

Mmh yes sounds right.
A criminally underrated sketch
Brexit in a nutshell! lol 🇬🇧🇪🇺😂
Are you British
gl o clearly not.
Oh yeah sweet you think so
@@ornaoleary625 why does that matter?
Twas just a wee question is all
Northern Ireland being the child is the most brilliant part of this video
Made two years before the final negotiations yet turned out to be so accurate! 🤣
Hello from 2021.... they hit the nail on the head in this one...
Foil is too cute as an angry Frenchman.. love his costume 😍😘
Absolutely brilliant lads! Great writing! :)
It’s the best Teresa May has looked in a while 👧
I thought it was Mary Poppins.
Do you equally make 'appearance jokes' about male politicians? If so then fair game 😉
Martha Skelly of course 👍
@@marthaskelly1449 ah c'mon, tbf there are plenty of jokes about the orange fella
Theresa*
omg loved the Scotland cameo
"but I don't want daddy to go" great voice
Please do a post-divorce sequel.
You know that feeling when you see a video in your subscription that you just KNOW is going to be ammazing purely because of the title and who made it? Yep! This was great!
I feel so sorry that here in Russia we dont have such a comic trio that could reflect our problems in such a vivid and intense way. Every reply here was a gem, precise and humorous. Brilliant
Not possible bro, not now. You remember the old КВН, it was smart, talented and occasionally political, but now it’s sterile and dead behind the eye. Talented people need space and a bit of freedom to perform… your fellow Russian here
@@bravemoon2124 свободы хватает, братан... талантов нет
I'm from dreary old Northern Ireland, living in France, and honestly I feel so uncomfortable about the whole Brexit thing. It feels just like this. I'd love to live in the Republic of Ireland when I go back.
The country's going to shit but it's still pretty good when the polticians aren't screwing us with taxes
You'd be better off going back up North, the Republic is a mess right now. You got the housing crisis, high taxes, mass immigration, the increasingly authoritarian EU etc.
@@andrewleonard475 cause the north is doing so well? you might as well have just said "authoritarian" eu because thats really all you wanted to say but nice attempt at masking it
@@ellobo4290 Attempt at masking what? I never tried to mask anything, besides anyone with two braincells to rub together knows that the EU is authoritarian, I'm just saying it's getting more and more every day.
@@andrewleonard475 'authoritarian'?! How so? Give some day to day examples....
That reference to America and India 0:31 was hilarious! Good job guys. Keep it up...
You guys are GENIUS! Literally every video has me laughing out loud, and that's not easy to do by yourself. Maybe you could think about coming and doing a show in Philly.....? 🙂
this was the first Foil, Arms & Hog skit I ever saw---I don't even know how I stumbled upon it, but it was like absolute magic when I did!
The only explanation of Brexit I actually understand (as in the only accurate one that illustrates how horrendous the whole thing is), love it 😂
All you did is take take take... (There's a reason I love this channel)! Oh and the Scottish accent in the end hahah!
0:37 Ex-boyfriend India: "all you did was take, take and take"
👍🏻👌🏻
Among your best sketches!!! Well all of them are good but some are just too good and this belongs there! Great job guys!
The costume design on this one was really good
I watched this like ten times and it is still fun each and every time.
This...This is comedy. Absolutely amazing lads. So hilarious
Thanks!
This was clearer than any news report that I've seen Well done lads
That is the best thing I've ever seen, line for line how it happened 🤣
This does not get old! Watching again and thoroughly loving it
Es lo mejor que he visto en mi vida sobre el Brexit. Espero que los niños, Northern Ireland y Scotland, lo superen.
I hope that the kids will have the right to decide which whom thay want to stay.
That was utterly brilliant. I love you guys.
This better get a million views at least.
Also, when did you get so many subscribers? It seems like you had 100k just there! Well done!
I have been watching this so often over the last two years and I just realised what doll Arms is playing with. 😄
It's little Arms!
Lads you gotta release that merch sooner before Brexit takes away free trade!!
Then there's the baby that's been left in the pram for the past year - Wales
The sketch rightfully forgot all about it. Would be nice if she left the house, forgets the baby, he finds it and wonders "What's this?"
This should be the Brexit explanation video. Comic Gold.
Love you guys. Can’t wait to see you in February
See you in Feb!
Scotland at the end was brilliant 😂😂
4 Months later and still the best depiction ... and the ending still relevant.
Haha amazing explanation😂😂😂 you guys were fab in this I loved it!!
You guys are frikkin’ awesome!!!
“All you did was take take take. And you call me controlling?”
As an Indian, this was hilarious. ❤️😂
We gave them Tikka masala, a large country and railways. What more did they want?
@@mrman8541
Our untampered ancient texts and the social structure which they disintegrated....turning the 4 component varna system to a caste system....churning out false sati narratives...our resources back...all the lives wasted in indentured coolie labour and famines which were created when entire fields were converted to opium instead of food crops .....the Christian missionaries and trojan horse NGOs which it still funds from behind a curtain , which have hampered many a judicial process....an entire country back...which they separated....the list is never-ending.
This video:
*Foil Arms and Hog have unlocked countryhumans*
“There’s that American guy”
“He’s only interested in himself”
Pretty accurate
Unfortunately 46% of 'muricans don't see it.
U guys are amazing actors, well done
Love this. Yes Political!! Good!
A German Late Night Show Made a similar Sketch I like very much but yours is way better! I love it!
That. Was. Brilliant!
Especially tasty after watching the PM's questions. The only lacking part is Scotland always asking about the fishery regulations.
Dobra robota!
🎉
Comedy gold :D my favorite video!
“He’s only into himself” -USA people
I'm surprised they don't have subscribers in millions.
😅 OMG! This was so hilarious. You guys hit the head of the nail. Thanks for making me laugh about this sad and crazy chapter of European history. 👍
"Maybe you are not as hot as you think you are" 😂
Well this is accurate, Scotland gets the attention and attitude, Northern Ireland is ignored and well Wales is forgotten.
It's funny because it's depressingly true
This is such a perfect explanation of the situation
Except that I did not notice the EU begging the UK to give them a second chance. Still, very good.
Absolutely brill....Really talented guys
Wow so brilliant, can we transfer all social studies education budgets to Foil Arms and Hog?
Just discovered you, great great great! Love from Germany
