Every Irish Mother Is Like This | Foil Arms and Hog

[@foilarmsandhog]

A video on a Monday, what are the odds? Which sketch is your favourite?

[@Zometh]

My mom's favorite is the one about teaching mom to use the computer. That video made her your fan and to this day, she occasionally tells me to show her videos from the "funny brothers" (she thinks that you're brothers).

[@bernadinesavarin]

The garden one (hoe vs ho 🤣)

[@gabsie7224]

Sick Oisin

[@squirrelsforshort3157]

That's like asking Anne to pick a favourite child...(assuming she actually remembers all the children she has)

[@kleinesgespenst7481]

I love them all. They hit so close to home ... I have to admit, I have a soft spot for Barry, I have at least five of those guys in my classroom and I can't help but laugh inwardly when they're in full Barry-mode.

[@Margot-ArieKanarie]

A Monday video? And it's a 56 minutes long compilation of Anne Flanagan? What a beautiful surprise ❤

[@SamFAHntha]

Something to binge on horrible days ❤

Quarter of an hour's the limit - she's as bad as Lynn from Alan Partridge 😂

Anne has to be one of the best characters ever created!

[@stefanjacasha7566]

[@KatarinaLow]

I love how supportive Mrs Flanigan is when Oisin has been dumped!

[@SamFAHntha]

She gets it so wrong sometimes, but you can tell she's trying her best!

[@The_huntress111]

That skit always reminds me of my dad when I would go through a break up 😂

[@elmondo-s1e]

Yeah, the least relatable part for me 😭😂 but maybe that’s the difference between a Scottish islands mammy and an Irish mammy 🤔 the rest is pretty interchangeable hahah

[@grimesdaughter9042]

"The Devil makes work for idle hands." "Mum, stop referring to yourself in the third person!" Man, I bursted into laughter at that burn! 😂

[@StinsonSwarley]

I really love Oisin and Barry, I really do, they're incredible characters, but wow Hog's depiction of Anne is soooo good. So realistic and iconic, I sometimes forget it's Hog hahahah

[@andreagriffiths3512]

I still remember coming home and seeing my parents watching a DVD on the new big screen tv. The music was instantly recognisable and I smiled and said I’d be there as soon as I’d dropped my gear off in my room. My mum’s voice followed me down the hall, “I thought you said this movie was good?” I popped back into the living room and said “Yeah, Pirates of the Caribbean is great.” Dad then added, “it’s a cartoon and it’s boring.” Mum chimes in, “We’ve been watching it for half an hour.” I had to dash out and try to muffle my laughter. I came back in, red faced and with tears streaming down my face because I couldn’t stop laughing. - they’d been watching the dvd intro for half an hour! I fixed it for them and they did,quite enjoy the film. Happy memories….they still don’t know how to use the DVD player.

[@teagarden874]

I'm Canadian but my mother was Irish. This was so hilarious and so accurate. I loved hearing all her expressions again. I'm 70 but I still miss you Mum❤️☘️

[@laurenconrad1799]

I wanted to let you guys know that since my dad is a huge fan but he’s also a United States accountant, I’ve been making a playlist of your best sketches from late February up until last week’s sketch. Then I got to show them all to my dad last Thursday now that tax season is finally over. He loved them. ❤

[@foilarmsandhog]

Love it!

[@laurenconrad1799]

He’s actually going to Switzerland this summer. It’ll be his first vacation outside North America in years. So I got really excited when I saw the Switzerland video 2 weeks ago. I said, “they made it for your vacation! No I’m just kidding. They made it for Swiss people and pretty much the whole internet. But it’s still awesome.” He got a real giggle out of that. 😂

[@finn4012]

Of all the embarrassing things Oisin has had to deal with, losing to his mum in a video game has to top the list

[@trinaq]

They really know Irish Mammies all too well, especially the entire conversation about Maths. "My Oisin could work for NASA!"

[@SamFAHntha]

Slightly irrelevant, but I just gotta say it..."my Oisín" is so cute.

[@mathenthusiastss]

@@SamFAHntha I adore her 😂

[@brendanflynn5004]

It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Ireland but would an Irish woman actually say “pronto”? Or even know what it means?

[@LovelyLara123]

@@brendanflynn5004Yes, we do. It means quickly

[@brendanflynn5004]

@@LovelyLara123 I know what it means. But I’ve never heard any Irish mother use it.

[@GreenJimll]

"I'm not trying to learn French, I'm just trying to pass the exam" is the classic, and all too accurate, line for me.

[@plaidshirtanomaly]

God I was the same in German. Weirdly enough some of it stuck subconsciously and recently at an airport in Germany while checking in I could mostly understand the conversation 2 gate agents were having. Good to know her grand mother is adjusting to her new hip ok tho

[@joshslater2426]

Same here but with Spanish. After I passed my GCSE, I’ve forgotten most of the stuff I learned.

[@leonbarrett-fs5yb]

I spent 6 years learning French for school forgotten it all only needed it for the exam. 10 years later spent a year in France now fully fluent. I think the schooling of languages may be the issue.

[@onecertainesquire486]

The older you get the more you sympathise with Anne Flannegan

[@Shishycat]

Hog is the best, truest mother ever. And as a mother and a former child myself, Oisin's roiling frustration is so real it hurts. 😂😂😂

[@unprodigal87]

ok, I have to say, I am Greek but these sketches speak to my childhood heart!!! We are very similar people, clearly!!!!!!

[@vaspap7602]

Same, really

[@rachelmcgrory9451]

Hog is shockingly believable as a Mam!! 🎉 😂 all I can see him as now. He’ll always be Anne! So good 😊

[@GreerCoughlan]

My absolute favourite! I love how the lip mole moves from side to side. Watched the whole hour 😂😂

[@SugarandSarcasm]

It does? Guess I’m not paying enough attention 😭

[@titojwonnie]

I lost my mom last year. Things are better, I but still feel down every now and then when I remember her. This video helps me revisit my memories without the sadness. ❤

[@backpackingprofessor]

I've just discovered, at the age of 29, that I was half-Irish. And even if I still have to learn so much about my new origins and culture, my first reaction was: 'Irish...like... Foil Arms and Hog?'. And I felt so happy to be related to such an incredible talent and humor!

[@ChessJourneyman]

You are who you are. If you are born and raised in the US, live and breathe that culture, guess what...you are not a quarter viking that needs to start crafting axes, you are not a fifth Japanese so you need to have a bushido, etc.

I'm pretty sure Mrs. Flanagan can remind us about our teenage years even if we are not even Irish. Every episode I can associate with my childhood as a kid of overprotective mom :) But too be honest I wish I can stand for myself the same way as Oisin! Thank you for this hour special!

[@lud3445]

Anne Flanagan is the origin story of all of Ireland's trauma. I want to see _her_ mum! I need to see her mum! I'm going to see her mum! I've booked a flight to Ireland. (God almighty so expensive) I'm in the airport (you have to arrive at least 20 hours in advance)

[@miamoberg827]

Having friends over. "Have we been burgled?", "I'll check the deep freeze", "It’s getting rather late now Oisin", "Barry get out of my house for Christ's sake!". It's a wonderful display of passive aggressiveness and how she balances between politeness and rage. In the end rage wins, with the face mask. Thank you for the compilation. May it reach many mothers, fathers and children everywhere.

[@Barb_J]

I swear that I was talking with my sister recently about Mother's Day and how much I would like to see Anne and Oisín then. Also, I had a hard day today, and now I got this so I can relax and smile. Thank you lads ❤

[@SG-1-GRC]

I think it is somehow possible that Irish Mums double as Yorkshire Aunties. My Mum was very laid back, she was born in Yorkshire, but she lived her early life and teens in Birmingham. However, both my Aunts (one who had no children and the other who had no daughters) were very like this. Taking a keen interest in their niece, who was sort of the daughter they never had, they kept a close eye on me. I recall telling them that I had got B+ in my English lit mocks and a B in History and one of them smiled and looked at her fellow Aunty and said "But we all know you could have got As." Long live Yorkshire Aunties and Irish Mums, in fact all good Mums, bless 'em. Although they should perhaps all carry a warning label. "We're annoying because we care."

[@JeleFili_savage_Filipomena]

Poor Arms had to put all the sketches together where he only appears very shortly or not at all. I bet he had a nightmare about Foil and Hog after he finished the edit.
