Oisin's mother would have a heart attack if she knew about these people.
This is the second time he's been and he's had an even better-I mean worse... time... hehe
I think you underestimate Oisin's mother!
There might be a reason she is so fond of French culture...
@@teolinek maybe she was the romantic date XD
Who knows who's over at her house *while Oisín is (again) away abroad?
Agreed. But knowing that, I can't imagine he would mind too much having to wait on that airline strike before coming home again. LOL
The least realistic part of this video is that the exchange parents are actually willing to speak English! 😂
They're usually willing to. It's just that their english is so bad it's better to try to understand their french than decrypt their english x)
@@bdletoast09 Well they don't have to know English or the language of the student they are hosting. He/she is supposed to learn theirs. So their bad English is more than enough. I did not expect my Irish family to speak Italian.
They might be willing to, but they won't like it so much that you will be able to feel it in the atmosphere. So, yeah, if you're for a long time you better learn.
@@gabsie7224
I was actually referring to the tendency I witnessed within francophone people in general to dislike the idea of speaking anything else than their native tongue. I am fluent in 3 European languages and have a basic understanding of 2 further languages and still I have yet to meet a native French speaker that is willing to speak anything else than French with me, not even people in the French part of Switzerland, even though I speak two of their national languages, as well as English.
@@gabsie7224 That's a fair point. On the other hand, when I was doing language study in Spain and was staying with a host family, they were hosting another student at the same time from France. My host mom was visibly annoyed because the majority of the time the only way my roommate would communicate with us would be to speak French into her phone and have it give us the Google translation. Of course, that by no means is a representation of all French people everywhere; it was just my personal experience.
While in France as a tourist, not a student, there were several people that were willing to speak to me in English after first hearing me try my best to struggle along in badly broken French. The end result seemed to matter less to them than the amount of effort I proved I was willing to put in.
As a Frenchman, I confirm this is 100% how we do things in France and that Grandpa was very eloquent.
What did he say? ^^
Please do elaborate on that eloquent speech, I am truely shocked I did not quite catch a single word of it despite knowing bit of french.
It is a slangish french?
@@twentyroses I think he said
"are you having fun up until now in France?"
then utter gibberrish ^-^
then "tell me! I asked a question, you could reply! You told me this boy spoke French!! [...] more gibberrish"
the he tells him that he's Irish
"oh! Irish!! It's wonderful!"
The moment he tell he's Irish and not American or British, the grandpa immediately chill down and try to speak English for him. Classic.
@@xshayahyawzi3666 yes, it's slangish. We have some thing called "Verlan". It will literally eat you inside out just by looking at it
Poor Oisin, I see his attempts to escape his mother are growing more and more desperate. How many heart attacks would she have if she knew what he was getting up to? 😂
Not as many as Oisinn if he keeps living like this
Causing her Heart attacks would also be a effective way to escape her.
@@heldengrab8312 Coming next week: When You Accidentally Murder Your Parents
@@foilarmsandhog everything is fine. He had wine to survive.. :)
Oisin needs to come to New Zealand.
"the party begins in 10 minutes"
"So we will leave in an hour and a half"
*now I begin to understand why germans didn't exactly love France*
In France we have this implicit rule called the "Quart d'heure de politesse" ( fifteen minutes of politeness ) : When you are invited to someone apartment you have to be at least 15 min late ( that's often 30 minutes ) in order to be polite. This leave the time for the host to be prepared if he or she has to face an unexpected delay. If you arrive on time you will certainly find the host still showering. When you get used to it just tell your guest to come 30 minutes before the time you actually want them to come in France
@@adrienmh3094 that's some useful info, I'll keep that in mind
@@adrienmh3094 interesting. in germany we have this in university. lectures usually start a quarter of an hour later then written on the paper, and it's just called "akademische viertelstunde". it is so normal that professors usually write s.t. (sine tempora - "without time") if they actually want to start on the full hour.
@@rudelwolf1591 I reckon when we're invited to someone's home for dinner, we also have that Quart d'heure de politesse. Meeting outside is different, however.
Alright this is funny to me... In the north of Belgium you've got those 15 minutes to be on time. Any later and you better let them know... It's very impolite! 😅😂
The 6-hour lunch part was so accurate 😂 When I was younger, we went to visit some family of my dad's in France.
We planned to arrive there by lunch-time, have something to eat and then take a walk to explore the town and the surrounding nature.
We never arrived at the exploration part. The food just kept coming. Cheeses, grapes, quails, bread rolls, wine, wine and wine... By the time lunch was over, it was nearly time for dinner 😂🤣
We were so stuffed when we went back home but it was a good time
The only things I miss from France are the baguettes and cheese. Definitely not the 6 hours meals with the entire family...
"roooh le trou de la sécu, non mais quand même"
"et Charles Pasqua alors!"
"Vous avez vu le diner de cons? C'est génial!"
"Bon d'accord mais juste une goutte!"
"garde un peu de place, il y a une tarte à la rhubarbe après"
as a kid, you're just bored to death ^-^ As an adult, I eat in approximatively 6 minutes... I think that counts as PTSD =D
@@SLRModShop ptsd after rhubarb tart. That's serious.
How are French people skinny then?
@@jasonhaven7170 We're slightly skinnier ON AVERAGE than the UK population. This very video is a good example of how warped people's vision of France is.
Believe it or not, we have showers and we use them. Someone with a beret is either 80 years old or seen as an eccentric. Nudity is as much of a taboo as everywhere else. Kids do not drink wine, we taste it like twice a year but we get so little that it wouldn't get a hamster dizzy (picture that one in your head, that's cute).
All that to say, we have our fair share of fat people. Some of the clichés are 100% true, but many things are exaggerated artefacts of a bygone era.
French people not bathing is literally a 300 years old trope at this point. I guess it goes back to pre-revolution era when people were using perfumes, thinking that not smelling something meant problem solved =)
French being revolutionaries couldn't be further from the truth. It was true 300 years ago but now, the (very funny) joke of the white flag being the French flag is WAY more on point.
Look at the yellow vest movement, they paralized their own country for a year and a half and got... nothing out of it...
All that to say, don't believe everything you hear about France except when it comes to bread and cheese, they are the best.
@J H Massive amounts of cycling/walking I'd say, though there are still some fat people. You gotta get your energy for rioting, striking and general civil unrest somehow haha
Brilliant. The “je suis Irlandais” always worked for me when I lived in Lyon and was struggling getting help with directions. A magic phrase 😂
They are fond of us over there it would appear
@@foilarmsandhog Indeed we are! 😊😊😊
It's because we hate the english and you are still in "war" with them. Oh and you are carholics.
@@foilarmsandhog As an English person, I can't think why...
@@SMTRodent I think you can, I do
I wonder if we'll ever see Anne receive an exchange student. (Make Foil suffer with having to do the accent for once!)
ohh that could be fun, I'll play the french guy
@@foilarmsandhog so you're thinking of making Foil suffer by having to do... an Irish accent? (Can we at least hope if you're playing the French lad, that Oisín's dad - to whom he must bear a striking resemblance - comes from Cork, or perhaps Belfast?)
Or is this your way of outing yourself that you're actually Foil in an Arms disguise this morning?
@@foilarmsandhogBut we have to see jealous Barry.
Brilliant idea!!!
@@RhondaofTheVale or confused Barry, can't understand why Oisín's doing an accent and wearing a beret.
I was an exchange student in Paris. I had a ground floor room with double french windows onto the street. At 4.00 in the morning, I heard a noise - the son of the house came in through them after a clearly ‘interesting’ night out with his girlfriend. He just walked through, gave me a brief smile, and nothing further was ever said.
Haha!
Thanks for writing a sketch for my best friend, an Irishman moving to France soon. He'll be delighted - or seriously worried 😂
Delightfully misled more likely 😂
He might look even more forward to the trip!
@@newshefan he's an artist, so...😜
@@miriam2526 he's leaving for France immediately 🏃 😂
@@newshefan 🤣🤣🤣
Please never stop uploading these in the morning, Thursday is the statistically shittiest day and having it start with a laugh is always welcome!
Our absolute pleasure!
Sometimes not just welcome, but needed 😅
Lovely comment 😊
Depends where you are. Here in Texas it's 2AM.
I look forward to these videos every Thursday after work, Japan time. Always a treat.
Seriously, the best part of Thursdays, and the only reason I wake up. I LIVE for these!
As a French, I must say. Those clichés are very funny... And somehow true.
The only one I really don't agree with is the breakfast one. We certainly have lighter breakfast than irish people, but not so light.
The strike one is the most accurate of them all.
if the sexual scenes are true than france needs more islam to make it more civilized place
En anglais y'a besoin d'un -man, -woman, ou même 'person', sinon ça se lit 'comme un (truc) français'.
Missing some confiture
This is such an over the top parody (with some very real moments too - like the 6 hour lunch and the excessive kissing) that I just laughed the whole way through! Cheers from France!
Thanks!
We Chileans greet with one kiss on the right cheek. Spaniards greet with two kisses, righ cheek first and then left cheek. Italians and French give two kisses, first left and then right. I've been in situations with people form all these places and greeting is the most confusing thing.
@@a2falcone it actually depends on the part of france you're in. Most places (in the north and center of france) kiss 2 times, but in the south they tend to kiss 4 times, or sometime even 3 times (which is confusing af cause everyone else is used to kisses in pair).
I've even heard of the mythical 5 kisses greeting, but I've never witnessed it myself.
True, plus even with the 2 kisses, you don't begin the same side depending on where you are in France 😆 Always confusing with my cousins who live on north-west when I was born in the south-east!
@@a2falcone Why is it first left? Coming from India, I learnt the cheek kiss here in Austria. But it feels normal to kiss the right cheek when you approach with a right hand shake. Or do you guys greet with the left hand first?
The German exchange sketch was amazing but this sketch is just hilarious 😂😂
Just finished my final college exam yesterday so what a great way to kick off the first day of summer break with a FAH sketch!! 😁🥳
Well done Rebecca, have a great break
Wahey!!! How do you think you did? Ah who cares, you're FREEEEE
Summer break !! have a great one
@@SamFAHntha exactly, not even thinking about results right now 😂😂
What better way to forget about life stresses than to see Oisin have multiple panic attacks lol 😆 🎉🎉 loved this one lads!! Counting down the days until I see you guys live again in Sept 😁😁
See you there Stacy, which show!?
@@foilarmsandhog you means shows haha coming to see you all at Liverpool, Birmingham, Oxford and Salford ☺️😁😁😁🥳🎉 haven't seen you guys live since the Fringe last year ..super excited!! I'll see you there!
@@stacy9538 EEEEEEEKKKK!!!! 🥳🥳🥳
STACY! We are meeting in Oxford?! No way! (If I can manage to be able to calm down until then, atm anxiety is a bit over the top and I'm a nervous wreck but that's life, haha) I don't think I'll be there for a specific reason to chat with anyone (as I'm not on twitter or anywhere really that much anymore) but if anyone will approach me, I will chat with them (I just don't like being ambushed and feel really weird when people are like "Everyone knows you Anja!" and I'm like 'Why? I'm no one' xD)
But otherwise, Exeter last year made me fall for UK a bit (my true love is still Germany) so I'm excited to have a chance to visit another 'UK name with the letter X in it' ha
@@icecranberry2148 haha that's cool .yeah I'm taking my friend Steve ..he lives in Oxford and he has never seen the lads live before so it's super exciting. Hope the anxiety calms ..I know that feeling too well ..don't worry I won't ambush you! Lol
I’m just imagining Anne’s face when she sees that painting. (Obviously Oisin won’t give it to her, but she’ll probably insist on cleaning out his luggage while complaining about how badly he folds clothes and then see the picture. I can imagine her face now. 🤣🤣)
I hope they do that sketch! @foilarmsandhog
@@karendaley3184 ❤
There are two funny ways that she might react! Will she put it on the wall in the good room and make her son die of embarrassment, or will she be scandalized and insist "it's going to Oxfam"?
I have a feeling Ann buys Oisín's school uniforms in bulk to save money, and that's why we never see Oisín wearing anything else.
and they all have his name and number on them
I suspect the same "policy" applies to Foil's shorts 🙂
The bit with the lady's father was incredible, I could physically feel his stress and tension building up like I was actually there
Loved this one. The 'shh' was hilarious. As soon as Papi started talking I started to sweat - had 5 years of French at school taught me anything?! Felt like Oisín! On a second watch through put on the captions and was pleased to see that I had indeed understood it was louder and angrier French! Result!
As always Foil's facial expressions make this. So good!
School was not wasted, well done Emma
@@foilarmsandhog best tell my mum!
Was it a super strong local accent or a dialect? Lots of memories of Italy!
Don't worry, I'm french, my grand parents did have strong local accent and I couldn't understand papi either ! 😅
@@Emma_W_ I'm French and what Papi said in "French" was mostly unintelligible gibberish lmao
As an Englishman living in France I can’t tell you how accurate this is: I sent it immediately to my French teacher :)
She will think you're trying to proposition to her
As a Frenchman I can confirm it is quite accurate😂
@@adityarao9793 I couldn’t be that lucky :(

I'm French living in Ireland 38 years, and I'm in bits laughing! You are brilliant! Looking forward each Thursday so much!
Anne: How was France, Oisin?
Oisin: Ahm, ahm, great mum.
A: What did you do?
O: ...I read.
A: Really! And what did you read?
O: Books. Interesting books. French books.
A: Right. Did you see some art.
O: aha,
A: Are you hungry pet.
O: Yes mom,
A: Dinner will be (ring of the doorbell). Oh, that's your granny. Will you go let her in.
Oisin: (opens the door) Hi granny.
Gran: Hello pet. Come here and give your granny a kiss.
Oisin: No, no, no kissing. NOOO (he screams while traumatized curling up into fetus position, sobbing, in the corner of the room)
Anne: Oisin!
Barry: (appearing out of nowhere) I'll kiss you granny. (And gives her the biggest kiss before she wacks him with her umbrella)
Magnifique indeed! This surely brings back some memories, mainly about having to suddenly converse in French... but laughing about it now makes it easier to bear. This shows us how important it is to take language lessons and exams seriously. 🧐
Don't worry J
The host family said to themselves before Oisín‘s arrival that they need to live up to every cliché about France in existence.
They did a good job and Oisín adapted very well.
We can all be proud of them.
As someone with autism and debilitating social anxiety, Oisín's awkwardness during the kissing part is more of a mood than I'd like to admit.
Since COVID a lot of people stopped doing "la bise" and I find it better.
I was slightly afraid they were going to start... French kissing.
Me too, and I´m not autistic ☺ It´s also a cultural thing, personal space means a lot in my country.
I guess that's as close as I'll ever get to my fah ot3..😂
@@martavdz4972out of curiosity, what country?
The minimalist breakfast (and dinner) was something my classmates commented on when they were on a semester abroad! "if you are still hungry, have a cigarette' hilarious!
This one was great! You nailed the best (and worst) parts of French culture! meals in France can indeed last half day. From the “apéro” up to the “digestif” and the last coffee… it can take ages…! also, strikes are definitely part of the culture. Someone farts, and the whole country goes on strike. Or perhaps the transportation companies. (Notice that you’ll be able to make the joke when you’re here if you get late to the gig! And maybe it won’t even be a joke! 😆) looking forward to seeing you here!!
I was very certain my Country (India) is the undisputed land of strikes ,till I heard about France 😂😂❤
Who would have thought you would ever hear Oisin say that he needs to go home?
He'll be dead by 20 living like that
Oh poor love, he was so stressed! Never thought he'd actually want to go home! Fabulous sketch, as ever!
Poor Oisín 😂 Foil excels as Oisín, his expressions and timing are just so well done, the "I need to go home" line was 👏👏👏 Thank you for the extra scene where Oisín bypasses THAT talk from his mum, was that so you didnt have to film it?!! 😂😂
More books for the great FAH library! 😂 The "if I just speak louder they'll definitely understand what I'm saying" bit was so accurate (for people from many countries).
Would be great if that would be a thing, the FAH library! 😛
Oisin is travelling around the world, just how rich is his family! 😂
Shit good point hha
Highschool exchanges inside of Europe are not that expensive😂 Put your child on a €9 flight with Ryanair, and just send them some pocket money. It will be less expensive than having them at home
I was just thinking the same 😂
Especially when it's been France twice now haha
The EU has integration schemes to encourage cross cultural understanding. So it’s not necessary that expensive
I have a feeling that painting will be 'lost' before Oisin gets home 😆! Thanks for the sketch, very funny!
Along with the painting of the The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies
Fair play Oisin 😂 thoroughly embracing the culture.
Anne will be livid when she finds out.
Absolutely, but as long as he gets an 'A' it will all be fine
C’est super que vous passiez nous voir ! Choisissez bien votre date, entre deux grèves s’il vous plaît 😂

Although I’m an American, I visit a country in Europe once a year and every year I think, I am now in their time zone. I don’t have to wake up at 3am to comment this week. 😂 Greetings from Prague! I hope you do a Prague immigration sketch one day. ❤
Fantastic Lauren, have a great time
Thanks! I am! While walking through the Old Town, I passed this theater called the Divaldo and I got this funny feeling inside thinking, that’s not where they’re playing, is it? I checked my phone. Yup. It totally was. 😂 (Correction: It wasn’t the same theater. See conversation below. 😂)
That is so cool!! Hi Prague!
@@laurenconrad1799 It´s "Divadlo" and it literally means "Theatre", you´ll meet a lot of theatres called "Divadlo" 😂😂 (from "dívat se" - to watch and "-adlo" basically means a place where you do something)
@@laurenconrad1799 It´s so hilarious, you sounded like "You know, I was in New York and I saw this huge thing called something like "Statute" and I think it was a statue 🤣🤣
As a frenchwoman I was so chocked when I went to the UK and I discovered that people would eat their lunch in 10-30 minutes ...
When I eat with my family we can start lunch at 1pm and finish at 6 and then start over for diner from 8pm to 1 am and in between we talk about food
Yep. I nearly missed the ferry from Dunkirk to Dover! Stopped at the local French McDonald's for a quick bite after driving from Milan. I was fourth in line. The first people in line - a group of course, spent almost 30 minutes discussing the menu. Well plenty of time for the next in line to make their choices... er, NO! Another twenty minutes... But faut de mieux - an ENGLISH, KINDLY ENGLISH executive from the Norfolk line was just behind me and seeing my distress at the prospect of missing the ferry, arranged my tickets, executive room with shower, etc., etc., before I shocked the other customers by ordering immediately and "fleeing" avec mon 'ambeur geur... (burger) Love the Norfolk Line.
So much wine!
I love Oisin/Foil's looks of overwhelmed confusion! Very funny and very relatable!
Brilliant sketch lads! 😂
"Je suis Irlandais" (or the equivalent thereof) is 100 percent a magic phrase! Have had personal experience of that suddenly helpful/friendly attitude shift in France, Belgium, Italy and Greece.
It’s a great business model this- mildly insult their culture in a really tasteful, hilarious way, then let them know you’re coming over for a gig 😂
Haha good point.
So funny! While Oisin samples a bit of french decadence, I wonder if Barry is back home quietly looking through Anne's fridge for magnums or bread?
OMG, BARRY! 😂😂😂 Yes, what's HE getting up to? I wonder what he would be like as a foreign exchange student! Unlikely probably - too far from Anne's fridge! 😂 But I think he's full of surprises. He's a dark horse, that one!
No, he's looking for Ann...
Or, since Oisin is away, through her underwear drawer!🤫

Which were the September 21 sketches which went down so well? I know Vegetables Throw a Party was late September 2021.
@Intensive Porpoise yes the vegetable sketch plus the Government's eating Pizza sketch. But sometimes the algorithm helps and people are watching loads of older sketches.
I'm amazed Anne let him go back to France for a second exchange visit 😯 Though given the state of his French oral I can see why he needed all the help he could get.
Magnifique!
for that look of disbelief alone foil deserves an oscar
He's gonna be the lad wearing turtlenecks and the occasional beret when he's back isn't he?
Had me laughing out loud from start to finish, I don't know how you lot keep outdoing yourself every Thursday.
Thanks Anna, a very silly sketch this week, really good fun doing it and sharing our stories from the exchange days
@@foilarmsandhog which one of you went to France then?
The parents having lovers was so funny. 😂And poor Osian stuck in the middle.
I got a bit worried when the mother said "Oisin, you can't leave!"
This makes my exchange experience look very tame! 😂 I mainly remember the struggle to wake up with the complete black out from the shutters and a huge bowl of hot chocolate for breakfast ☕
Best one at the end when he finally gets comfy and just waits to be handed his cigarette and wine.😊
Great sketch!! I love it!!
I love how the sketches about Anne and Oisín are so connected to each other. There's one where she said she has spent a lot of money sending Oisín to France (right? Or am i mixing it with something else) And now we got to see him in France.
I also understand why Oisín forgot the French he learnt, it seems it was a bit of a traumatic experience 🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's also a sketch called "Calling Your Parents From Abroad" which they made before the pandemic. Oisin is on exchange to France there as well! (Was it the same trip, or did he go twice? We can probably imagine it whichever way we want.)
The kissing bit is far too accurate!
Living in France for the past six years I’ve kissed strangers in greeting far more times than I’ve kissed my own parents.
Imagine how difficult it was when people couldn't do it due to C*vid! I was relieved but now I kind of miss it with my family
@@naowenn6794 i remember some people still kissing on the cheek in greeting here in France even with covid.
@@rhianheulwen I saw that too, even with elderly parents 😬
@@naowenn6794 yeah it was really bad!
This brings back so many memories 😂 made me laugh out loud quite a few times.
Your French sounds quite good actually. I mean, I could make out half of the very loud French. Chapeau.
Bonne journée !
There's a funny expression for adultery in African French dialects : avoir un deuxième bureau / to have a second office
Oisin is such a good kid covering up for Pierre 😂
My most favourite bits i keep coming back to is Pierre's "Shhhhh..." to Oisin as he leaves on his date, and Oisin eventually adopting to the French life in the pre-outro! This is such a great sketch! 😀
Oisín really gets around on this student exchange program. I agree we need one where the exchange student comes to Oisín’s house.
I'm going to France for a bit and, as a Canadian, one of my biggest fears is people thinking I'm American 😅
Tell that you're a Canadian, we French people love Canadians 😊
yes I'm sorry but to us you're just basically american with a better healtcare (unless you're a Quebecker then french people will just make fun of your accent in an obnoxious way)
@@valdir7426 "quebecois!" Sacre bleu!
Just get an XXL "Universite de Laval, Quebec" t shirt and wear it over everything.
This was really funny 🤣. Especially the old guy just speaking louder French. I have to admit we do that 😅. That's really wonderful that you are coming to Paris next March which show will it be?
Hogwash! one of the last performances of it i imagine
Even though my own exchange-student time was a totally different animal, I still got flashbacks from the disorienting differences in personal space and alcohol consumption. Oisin's bewildered expression nails it 😂
The part with the kisses is so funny! Foil, you tried to keep a straight face, but you almost cracked up at the end🤣
Fun fact: I grew up in France, and in some regions, you first kiss on the right cheek. In others, on the left...So we usually end up kissing on the lips! It might explain a lot about the French culture 😂
What's the point of even kissing each other in the first place?
@@AndreiBerezin don't know, & it was really confusing! 😅
@@AndreiBerezin It's a form of greeting. It's like asking what's the point in a handshake. There is no point, that's just what we do.
@@bdletoast09 that's the point, why dont you shake hands or hug?))
@@AndreiBerezin Because that's not what their culture does. That's like asking, "Why don't you just spin around twice or hop on one leg?" Because it's a completely arbitrary gesture and different cultures have different features for different things.
The only time Oisín wants to go home & his mother didn't call him!? 😱 Anne has changed 😂
Maybe she forget about him, because she has a little fun for herself 🤫 and doesn't want him to know. Or she wants him to call her. And it's a trap. 😮
Bahahaaa!! You guys have had way too much fun with this one 😂
All to our benefit 😂😂😂
The exchange student skits are way to funny. Need more of these...
Tres bien! Haha! The books and the hugging and kissing😂🤣 Oisin's got plenty to tell his friends about when he gets home!
Anne is going to have a heart attack after hearing about her son's experience in France. I loved your attention to detail, including the wall paper. This was one of your funniest; will be watching on repeat for sure.
I couldn't stop laughing. It's an amazing video. Poor Oisin. I can't imagine how he'll tell all this to Anne. 😂😂
Poor Oisin!)))... Super brilliant, Sean! As brilliant as always, lads!
How on earth is there no cheese in the sketch? 🤣
Love the kiss on the cheek part, it even confuses French people themselves when they go to another region of the country 😂

The best part is Oisin getting quite comfortable with the French ways in the end :)))
Loved that bit!
As an American living in France I especially enjoy the wallpaper with the random picture on the wall. It seems that wallpaper is everywhere and a different pattern in every room. Like they put it on and never redecorated. But it’s lovely 🥰
Exciting to see another country will be added to the list of places you’ve toured 😊
Yeah absolutely! FAH taking over the globe! What's next, Antarctica? 😏
Oh my days, this brings back so many memories of my French exchange! I remember my first meal - a massive pile of beetroot for a starter - I'd only ever eaten it once and hadn't liked it so I had to stuff it down! Then, touring the garden, I said to my new friend "Oh! You have so many pet rabbits! How lovely!" and she responded, with this very sweet smile, "Oh! We eat them!". 😅😬😆
For me it has been one of your funniest gags. 😂
You are so great and love your scetches
I definitely like it! So funny from start to finish! I think I might have missed something because I was laughing XD Loud and angry French was too hilarious.🤣🤣
OISÍN ROBERT FLANAGAN GET THAT CIGARETTE OUT YOUR MOUTH THIS INSTANT!
You're to be polite now Oisín, have whatever they put down in front of you. 🙃
I'd say what a poor boy, like how confusing. But he seems to be coping just fine 😂
@@SamFAHntha he's developing some bad coping habits! 😄
@@Emma_W_ I can't (and won't) argue with that! He'll be on a first name basis with the hospitals!
Hands down best depiction of the french I've ever seen
One of your best in a while!
"Loud and angry French" great subtitles
The grampa is the most accurate representation of old French people
grumpa.
I'm thrilled and so looking forward to the show in Paris !! 😁
The last scene was the best, where he smoking, drinking and reading. What a combination!
The exchange of kisses and the glass of wine are simply hilarious!!!🤣
I don't agree with the croissant scene: the French cuisine is great and the desserts creamy and delicious!🤗♥️
It's missing:
- The baguette under the armpit🥖
- The French who understand absolutely nothing of what you say, simply because your pronunciation is not 100% perfect🤦♂️
- Oh là là ! The impatient French complaining. Zut ! 😲
- The French perfume💨👨🚀
- French niche cinema💤
- I'd make parents kind of impoverished snobs💍
- Bureaucracy (even if it's no longer funny since fast all country are very bureaucratic).
P.S. You guys are great!♥️ The German exchange was hilarious!🤣🤣🤣
You don't have dessert for breakfast in France. He was lucky not to get just a bowl of coffee.
Hilarious as always! Thank you for a great start into an otherwise drab day.
Enjoy the rest of it!! Thank the heavens they didn't get ready for the French beaches in this one 😂
@@SamFAHntha Do you have any Getting Past Immigration suggestions for FAH ?
@@adityarao9793 Hahahaha maaaybe I do... And maaaybe I've spent the last couple years begging for it relentlessly. And maybe it just so happens to be the New Zealand one...
Could be hearsay. Who knows!
You're finally coming to Paris!! Best news of the day!!😊🎉 Can't wait for the tickets to be on sale! And thank you so much for making life lighter. (You definitely helped me keep my sanity during lockdown.) Merci beaucoup !😉
C'est super! Vous êtes incroyables. Merci beaucoup pour ça😂
Merci Maria
What a great sketch, 😆had me laughing so loud that I woke up my husband sleeping in the next room. Now I’m in for some explanation 😅
haha, well done!
Hey I'm going to be truthful with you all, as a French man in England, I almost feel as lost as him!
As an Englishman I am intrigued. I’ve not spend much time in France so I don’t know much about the culture over there. So what are the culture shocks you have had being here?
The way he just gives in at the end xD
Hehehe, the [Louder French] was so accurate. I'm French and my S/O is Polish, and I've heard some older folks speak very clearly and politely, but extremely loudly at her 😂
And the only thing you forgot about the croissant for breakfast is to plunge it in the hot coffee 😅
Oisín looked very happy after..... greeting the two parents 😂 I wonder what this means 🧐 INCREDIBLE VIDEO LADS!❤😂
I mean what's the point of visiting France if not to have a bisexual awakening?
@@EmmaLiza correct 👌
Arms can you make another Hard Lads sketch. I was watching the one with Clisare the other day and couldn't stop laughing!
Hard lads and John and Tim pleeeaaasssseeee!
Yes, please!
3:05 I love the idea of a sketch based on the city that you’re found going to. Interesting.
The empire strikes back, and Oisin is Hans Solo! Haha, great sketch bravo.
