You've aired clips of live shows that are 10 minutes long or longer and they've still drawn in the numbers so maybe try a 10 minute episode. It would give you more scope for a bigger plot lines 😊

I grew up watching The Three Stooges and took to your sketches immediately. But it wasn't until this sketch that I identified Foil as Moe, Hog as Curly and Arms as Larry. Moe being the master planner, Curly the lovable goof, and Larry the "normal" one that keeps them together. I love the variety of your sketches and am interested in how you could incorporate that in a sitcom. 💚🤍🧡

WHERE DO THEY KEEP THAT ROOM / SET?! In their office? I laugh just at the thumbnails of their sketches with this set - before even viewing the vids. The wallpaper is a character in itself. As for my opinion of this sitcom: LOVED this “episode”. Had a bit of the pace of their wordplay sketches (which I also love). However, I am in mortal fear of what happens to this unfortunate trio next. 😭😭😭 Oisin’s mum needs to come, clean the place, and get the plumbing fixed.

[@peneleapai]

Nice one, The Albanian Lorg. 🤔 Further to that: Thinkin on their Netflix reference (mentioned in the outro), What If they did a KonMari episode too ? (Marie Kondo/konMari had a house decluttering series on Netflix didnt she?) Maybe the new flatmate could be a KonMari enthusiast .. ? Be fun to throw minimalism into the mix. Do it in ye're inimitable intelligent FAH shtyle tho, mot just with gross stereotypes, but rather accurate and on-point characterisation/s .. as ye do 💯 The hashtag might be a happy coincidence that brings FAH antics closer there, if that's where we're aiming for lads ? 👣
