[@jathenmoors1]

@@33.wahyuagungs22 Not to be that guy, but I'd like to be helpful, so here goes. "Lobbies" are both groups which offer the government kickbacks to consider legislation and also a word for the main foyer of a building. There is not actually such a thing as a lobby lobby. In common parlance, the phrase "opening doors" would mean that a lobbyist could make introductions, change their constituent's minds, and generally make things easier for the politicians. However, if the lobbyists we are talking about are "lobby" lobbyists, they might just be opening physical door, really not the same thing. It starts as a fun play on words and ends with a clever play on words.

In Germany (and probably some other countries too) it's more the other way, especially if you're part of the Green Party

[@justmy-profilename]

@@danielhopkins2277 The Greens are the only parliamentary party in Germany with any quota for woman, and overall it's still much more likely to get elected into parliament or office when being a man. And that's surely not because women are less qualified than men - exceeding the usual qualification standard isn't a tough bar to clear, and can't explain the disparity. Also "direct" vote in districts is still heavily biased towards men in the parties' nominations for districts with favorable winning chances. Btw. the Greens high quota of at least 50 % (*) women on their election lists was created with the intention to have a counterweight to the other parties (at the time very) low percentage of woman (* men may only be on even list positions, women can run on odd and even numbers). If you're worried that the statistics actually ever swings to the opposite: German parties are also allowed to have a similar quota for men.

I'll take a seated one 🙂

[@anniesoernym]

Oh some hard truths in that one, lads 😬 In a wonderfully funny package, though, so Thanks For The Laughs! 😊

[@SamFAHntha]

As always ❤️

[@miriam2526]

Thanks! That will be helpful for today's meeting with local politicians... 🙄😂 Brilliant sketch!

[@foilarmsandhog]

Maybe don't show it straight away...

[@cartmanfucka]

OK, this was the sketch that earned you my subscription. Just brilliant, now I'm eagerly awaiting more genius skits. Well done good Sirs.

[@schattentaenzerin]

-Blame previous government. -You are the previous government! 🤣 Absolutely fabulous sketch. But it kinda made me Anxious (and not really the boardgame one) I've gotten my birthday wish and am now a patreon of yours. Haven't really had time to check it out since then, because lots of dumb things to handle immediately popped up everywhere all week, but soon I'll come around. Looking forward to it 😊 Edit: Props to the prop department!

[@foilarmsandhog]

Great! Got some cool surprises coming up for all you fine folks

[@vixtheaccountant6237]

Happy grin - so well done guys; understated, classy and cuts to the quick. Love it.

[@SamFAHntha]

I know you're not talking to me, but I'm happy you enjoyed it 😊

[@foilarmsandhog]

cheers Vix

[@Cherry-ou6qk]

This sketch is probably your most relatable yet 😆 It doesn't even matter which part of the world you're from.

[@SamFAHntha]

It really doesn't haha 😅

[@Cherry-ou6qk]

@@SamFAHntha they do have to trademark these games though and manufacture them 😁 and the Job Trumps, too, if Foil has the time when he's not fixing his bike? 😆

[@SamFAHntha]

@@Cherry-ou6qk Haha so not for AGES then, with Arms around 😆

"The Lobby Lobby?" "Oh, they open a lot of doors." 😂

[@SamFAHntha]

Brilliant 👏🤣

[@_Saracen_]

Brilliant, the 2 yay cards and 148 nay cards is so true. It's the one thing that frustrates me most about politics, opposition parties being just so incredibly negative and obstructionist. It's just plan lazy.

[@phoenixdzk]

If they ever remake Yes Minister, you lads have the jobs right away!

[@recklessroges]

I just about held it together until the "lobby lobby". You guys are just too good at the funny game.

[@simoniven7143]

I love these sketches, the writing is just too good! Keep it up lads!

[@YourQueerGreatAuntie]

Where can I buy this please? The board game, not the politicians...

[@revolutionfrommahbed4246]

“They open a lot of doors...” 🤣🤣🤣. So dumb - so perfect. I’m dead 💀

[@mollytate3613]

Woohoo! Another wonderful sketch, gentlemen :) I do want to know, however, how Hog managed to waffle his way from climate change to the hearing range of dogs…

[@weswheel4834]

Lol, I just assumed that it was both a suggestion that he'd gone way off topic, but also a way to get the phrase "dog whistle" in there.

[@foilarmsandhog]

Its a skill alright

"Blame the previous government." "You are the previous government."

[@GrammarGal1]

I love that the instruction booklet looks like it's from an air fryer or something.

[@SamFAHntha]

Omg now I have to go look

[@SamFAHntha]

Haha!! It does! And probably is! XD

[@ironwoman84]

This one feels like it will be among the Top Ten Sketches for 2022! Spot-on satire (broadly relatable, too) with fun props, great facial expressions, and that delightful touch of silliness... it gets my vote for sure! 😁

[@foilarmsandhog]

A BIG CALL

[@ironwoman84]

@@foilarmsandhog - You replied to little ol' me! 😍😁 Well, I can't be certain it will be in your Top 10, but it's got the feel of a classic FAH sketch for sure.

[@megaeliminator3260]

the declare war one came out more true than expected

[@thecocktailian2091]

only if you are very young. governments do this every five to ten years. Mali, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan,, Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Armenia. And these are all within the last ten years. This list would take up the entire comment section if it got extended to thirty years.

[@gimmethatplease2224]

Great lads, I'll give my best to help turn this into a frequently quoted FAH classic! 😋 Also wondering if the super quick outro is related to politics, too... like when some finally resigns, they're sometimes gone surprisingly quickly...

[@SamFAHntha]

Oooooh good point! I was like SLOW DOWN, I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO! And then they were gone 😂

[@SamFAHntha]

Petition for a slow motion outro? I think YES.

[@foilarmsandhog]

Ha, if only we were that clever

[@Melhappens]

Legal cheese and wine party but call it an office meeting. Get out of jail free!

[@SamFAHntha]

This sounds... Livestreamy...

[@amanofnoreputation2164]

The best way to win is to assemble all five pieces of the, "You're*," card to assure instant victory.

[@imke17]

Foil and Hog are both called Peter in this sketch.. Similar to the Dutch business world where there are more CEO's called Peter than there are women..

[@sisuguillam5109]

There are more CEOs called Michael, Thomas, Andreas, Peter und Christian than female CEOs in german companies. 😑

Upload timing coincided perfectly with my food being ready, thereby solving the true 21st century Big Issue - what to watch with dinner. Cheers, lads

[@SamFAHntha]

It's a massive life decision!

[@newshefan]

The tsking sounds and faces are great! Hahaha What an absolutely brilliant game, I mean, video 😂

[@SamFAHntha]

Not such a fun game, but the video like you said... Very suspiciously... Was brilliant, I agree.
