[@EvelineUK]

Spot on for an Irish vlogger family who filmed themselves in the waiting room of a gender therapy clinic they took their 9 year old to, constantly asking 'How are you feeling, what are you thinking'. This is the sad reality for that child and their siblings (incl. having been filmed in the bed, accidents in bed shared, and much, much more...), as well as many others out there. There should be a law against family vlogging.

[@HSBsoulsurfer]

As an American (we started all this woke crap) I cannot believe the laws and changing of values that is going down formerly Catholic Ireland. It really matters how people vote. You guys are being turned day by day into us in the U.S. I am so sorry. Parents like that should be outed to Child Services type offices, yet the governments where this stuff is being pushed on young kids probably won't do anything much or even worse will go after anyone who raises a voice to it, calling US extremists. Horrible stuff. I still believe we need to stand up and vocalize disapproval for things that go too far. Children deserve an unfettered childhood. Growing up is hard enough.

Aside from the laughs, thank you for this. This is a real problem, and not only with professional influencers. How many children got their pictures posted on the internet by their parent? And once It's out there, there is no going back. It was all done without their consent as well.

This is their life and their digital fingerprint and they should be the one deciding what to do with it.

[@crumbsintopebbles]

I love how you can see the different 'points of view' through the camera. Influencer Dad sees everything as a business/content opportunity; whenever he's filming everything looks loud and rather awkward. He doesn't take things seriously at all. Compare that to the setup when Alexi and the therapist are speaking/reacting, which is simpler and in many ways more realistic, but it also looks much more serious. A good example of this is when the therapist finally snaps. The framing literally goes from "understandably pissed and fiercely caring about his patient" to "THERAPIST EXPLODES (SHOCKING!!!)"

[@gimmethatplease2224]

Come on Roj, share with the group.

Oh, wow! You're doing a collab with Kidney-Failure-Boy!? 😲 You guys are really climbing the KZbin ladder! The algorithm will love this! 📈 This is one of the sequels I waited for. Like the first one, this made me laugh and then sad, because there are kids like poor Alexi out there. Kudos to Foil for being so hilariously obnoxious as this character! I feel like we haven't seen the McCormack family in a long time. How are they doing? Hope the dad got vaccinated after all his trouble.

[@SamFAHntha]

I'd love to see them again actually!

[@schattentaenzerin]

@@SamFAHntha Good morning, Sam. 🌻 So nice to see a reply that's not a bot. Arms must be deleting like crazy and I've also been reporting nonstop. Doesn't seem to help much, though. I love that chaotic family. They're like the opposite of Anne and Oisín 😁

[@charlotteofhouseappleton4477]

The acting in this video is so on point! From all of you. Great job!!! :)

[@vanathiknight4032]

I have never been more grateful to have been born decades before social media became a thing...

[@foilarmsandhog]

Absolutely

💯%🙆‍♀️agreed

[@giorgioc6765]

Another instant classic! You guys are great observers

[@sophiejameson5692]

The bit when they have the influencer filming holding his phone vertically is hilarious 🤣 amazing video

[@SamFAHntha]

Absolutely my favourite bit. The Dunkin Donuts bit was brilliant as well 😂😂😂

[@patrickbyrne4630]

Best title for a sketch ever.... And it is brilliant. Well written and well done....

[@elisabethmenck5219]

Thanks so much lads for making me smile yet again with another brilliant sketch!

[@foilarmsandhog]

Thanks for watching!

[@marlowebster487]

I just want to give your son a hug, his eyes 🥲. Great therapist ❣️

[@mamaduck9370]

Speaking of parenting and merch.... I think my kiddo will have to be surgically removed from her FAH hoodie acquired last weekend at Castlebar gig..... And she keeps "swooshing" around the house like Foil's tree in the Military Captures An Actor sketch whilst giggling. I think that means FAH is therapy in itself 😊

[@CuriousEchidna]

Haha, that is brilliant. 'swoosh' 🍃

[@johanneseggen406]

I actually think that The Influencer Dad is the best villain you guys have come up with. Like... I wouldn't mind a fight between him and Arms in "The Influencer Dad 3"

[@SamFAHntha]

Hehehe yes! But can we have a Tekken version too? 😆

[@charlieoakley9179]

YAYY INFLUENCER DAD!!!! Was wondering when he'd make a comeback

[@SamFAHntha]

I hate him. I hate him I hate him I hate him and I want to see more of him. Wait a minute... Isn't that how *some* of these influencers work??? Oh geez...

[@petrahalbur476]

The way his voice breaks on "She BOUGHT them. With MONEY!" 🤣

[@alejandrinahs]

Hog as the child is always solid gold. ♥️

[@caroleklinger4788]

Wow! This is terrific, guys. I'll keep an eye out for the "You total freak!" product line...

[@alinburghelea3662]

This was supposed to be funny and in a weirdly way, it is. But it is incredibly sad at the same time 😔

[@foilarmsandhog]

Yeah, I can see that

[@Gemma.618]

Fahntastic Statistic In 2021 the first video to reach 200K views in de first week was the 'Will Northern Ireland get back with Ireland' sketch. This was at the end of April. The first sketch in 2022 with more than 200K views after the first week was actually the very first sketch: 'When you look like your job'. This isn't just a coincidence. From the five sketches of '22 three of them already had more than 200K after the first week!

[@foilarmsandhog]

Wow cheers!

[@caitrionaobrien4707]

So when is the Angry Therapist merch dropping? Poor Dr Horton, he's had many difficult clients but this is when he snaps

[@happytexanbychoice2920]

I love you three so much!! Y'all are so much fun!

[@Itcouldbebunnies]

For a moment there I thought the therapist was going to smack the phone out of the dad's hand. Luckily he didn't, or we wouldn't have had this wonderful viral video! #real #emotion #merch #brandname

[@SamFAHntha]

Ooooh I don't know! Could've made it more dramatic! 😂

[@hildurmildur]

Was on yt and thought to myself: "hey, what day is it, must be time for another FA&H video soon, feel like it's been aaaages since the last one". .....And then I realised that it's only Saturday and that I've watched Thursday's video a half-dozen times already. Thursday feels like a long way away, both past and future...

[@epochhp8899]

Oh god this is unfortunately accurate. Great work lads

[@foilarmsandhog]

From my research, yes

[@rhianheulwen]

That was amazing 🤣Those characters are perfect, so good to see them together too. #fantasticsketches #goseethemlive
