This fella can't run for office, he actually declares his sponsors!!! 😂
🤣🤣
Ooops.😂
He is transparent. You have to respect that in a politician.
@@akask6458 I'd be more-than-happy if they had something more than just contempt for the average worker, these days. 😂
🤣🤣
The sad thing is, the joke about him being no worse than actual politicians is dangerously true
The really sad thing is he's actually better than some of our MEPs
Absolutely, we included it because it's basically the same
In Italy as well...@@foilarmsandhog
I live in Scotland, need I say more...
I mean, Trump was a reality star, Zelensky was a comedian, and Reagan was an actor
Alexi being told to go and vote for his dad:
"But dad, I'm not old enough to vote."
"So...are there like parental permissions I need to enable?"
"No...its the law"
Perfect
Some comments are actually as funny as the skit!
I read that in Alexi 's voice 😂
In France we have the reverse: politicians attempting to become influencers. (And yes, it's exactly as cringey as you imagine.)
As a German I can relate to you. It's the same here too 😂
Oh god. You just reminded me of Marine Lepen's cats. That's a memory I had hoped to forget for the rest of my life. 😂
@@karondanthy4119 trying to wipe it away from my memory as well 😅
God help us all 😂
It's called Populism 😣
That uk-ireland collab didn’t go so well last time 😅
yeah no-one really found the pranks with the bins that funny
jesus! dark
Well we still kind of do it together, what with that CTA thing.
U2?
@@smil2637 sure if you like, I was more referring to colonialism and the many awful things that resulted from it
"What is a politician, really, other than just, you know, an ugly influencer." 😂🤣
You'd think he'd poll really well with the over 35's, with him recording everything in landscape 🤭
haha
I'm 40 and I said to myself "at least it's in the proper aspect ratio". As a cinematographer and photographer I cannot stand the little slit that is shooting vertical for video.
Or, as we Gen X ers say, "recording properly".
I’m 18 and I still hate vertical videos
Make that the platform and I'll vote for him! Also (here in the US) anyone who promises to abolish Daylight Savings Time gets my vote IMMEDIATELY. Why can't the politicians get rid of one stupid thing that everyone hates???
the last 30 seconds of the influencer just thoroughly misunderstanding how to vote was amazing
And scary as fuck. 😢😂
Influencer: I did some real things and did real change by changing my profile pic
Politician : sending thoughts and prayers..
1:03 "I mean what is a politician really than just, y'know, an ugly influencer"
- Foil Arms and Hog, 2024
True and wise words
“This clown couldn’t be any worse than any of the ones we have in government”
This probably applies to every country 😅
And then Trump said, "Hold my tremendously great bear."
In TRUE democracies where the people have direct power, such as Switzerland, politicians behave responsibly and professionally, because they know that if they do something stupid they get ousted.
Them "You use a pencil!"
Me: "Woo boy..." In my country, we take our own pens to the polling stations because the ones they have there might have erasable ink, and your ballot could be edited during the counting.
Wow
You know it's bad when it's come down to erasable ink pen fraud
“What the f**k is a pencil?” - My classmates in uni to me as I took notes in class with a pencil.
It's something that can't dry out (a pen does). ;-)
@@nathalieb1626
Who's still using pens?
Me I've had way too many phones combust. Pen is much safer and cheaper to replace.
No app, no websites, no swipes needed - just tick the box and collect your pint, plain and easy folks!!
What are you going to do about all the elderly folk over 35 though Jim?
@@SamFAHnthaHome delivery. I will support the gig workers, cyclists, the food industry and voters over 35 by enabling pints sent home through food delivery services.
@@SamFAHnthaCan't make any promises but I'm looking into home delivery, by drone
You guys don't fold your ballot in an awkward way?
Please tell me your running on the 24th as well! Oh, I'll be singing your campaign song all of May 👍🍺
He has my vote I will tick the box with the pencil app
Pencil app with add pop ups
Humorously, I did subscribe last week. It’s actually three in the morning but I stayed up for the new video; have been entertaining myself with plowing through ALL of your videos! You are exceptionally talented!
Brilliant!! Enjoy the binge!!!
Well thank you very much!
It's a rite of passage 😏
@@HelenMarieOC Is it still a Right of passage to also trawl through the wikia and watch all the ads and other media cameos?
@@HoosierHoney4 Absolutely! And when you've exhausted all that, you'll join Patreon 😊✨
I was so hoping Alexei would phone in and tell people not to vote for his dad but I think he managed that all by himself 😆
That'd be hilarious 🤣
I think this is supposed to be a different Influencer from Influencer Dad. I don't recall Influencer Dad doing prank videos.
Foil and Hog must've enjoyed doing this sketch, with Foil not having to get out of his pyjamas and Hog not having to leave his bed hahaha
I once overheard a comment.
A bit of an exhibitionist, but not talented enough to be an actor. He'll make an excellent politician.😂
haha, that's brilliant
"Over 35", ouch!
Basically elderly
The other candidate promised a pint. Now I just have to decide if i am an alcoholic or a creep..
Hahahaha.... oh no
I think that's pretty much how it worked before the introduction of the secret ballot.
On the other hand (in the UK at least) candidates can't give potential voters as much as a Quality Street because that might be bribery (even though it's practically impossible for a candidate to find out whether the person they have "bribed" actually voted for them.)
I really hope his son isn’t being forced against his will to hang up flyers..
No that would involve paper.
Aye, he'd be nagged to share everything everywhere, except the only account he really uses without his dad's knowledge.
Can I just say how HAPPY I am to see the office/studio. Y'all have actual fancy microphones now,hanging from the wall and all. I remember the time when your office was small,door didn't open all the way and you had different signs on the door each time. You made it lads (lads,lads,lads,lads,lads,lads)
So Alexie is now forced to wear a t-shirt with VOTE FOR EVO 😂
Going door to door and trying not to cry
Just for the record: he definitely has my vote
WHAT ABOUT JIM M EVERYMAN THOUGH??? 😱😂
@@SamFAHnthaI heard he’s a great man for a pint
@@ElysiumCreator Only takes a vote and you get a free one.
The fact that he didn’t even say “I don’t like to be political” while running for office is the real issue here 😂
wow I didn’t even notice that. Brilliant writing.
You casually nailed with subtlety the reoccurring issue of people on radio podcasts talking over each other.
That actually made me have a reaction from me; people not leaving others on the call enough time to talk drives me mad, omg.
Very well done.
I don't disagree with your point. But I find the use of "podcast" in place of talk-show an interesting linguistic shift.
Evo wearing a onsie really puts the cherry on top 😆 Thanks for the Thursday morning laughs, lads!
Influencer dad is one of the FAH characters who evokes feelings of anger in myself 😂 god LOOK GUYS IVE GOT A RAINBOW FLAG! IM SO POLITICAL!!!
Glad to finally see some sensible politicians in this country.
I just imagined Hog calling in from his car to say his line and then causally walking into the office after you finished filming. 😅
Evo Evo Evo. You're playing with the big boys, gotta step up that game. Remember folks, a vote is a pint. Forget about only fans access and focus on what matters. And remember - whatever you think about the big issues, Jim agrees with you ❤
Thanks Jim 😭
I was watching and I thought "Ooh I like that joke, I'll comment something about that one" but then it just kept happening, so instead of making wayy to many comments, I'll just say: great video! :D
That's exactly how I, and I imagine all of us feel every time 🤣
All comments graciously received! thanks!
I dunno, he's no Jim Mohammad Everyman...
What a good man for a pint.
That he isn't. Have a pint on me Emma. Tangible, real, cold and refreshing.
@@Jim.Mohammad.Everyman thanks Jim! You have my vote!
Thanks, now I have that tune stuck in my head for the rest of the week 😅
Thanks Sarah, just tell your local pub Jim sent you for your free pint ❤
FAH dipping into political satire. Very nicely done guys.
Always scary territory
@@foilarmsandhog you do it so well!
0:31 McCormack’s Dry Rolled Oats? What a callback!
Also, so inclusive during Pride Month when they had the rainbow filter and had the line of Rainbow Oats…because no one should be left out.
I can't help but take this a little personally, seeing FAH endorsing this clown. After all the free pints lads😢. But all is forgiven if you just tick that box which says Jim ❤
Jim, you've been elected every year, and your father before that
EVERYTIME.....THAT LA BULLSHAT ISN'T THERE AS WELL, I WILL!
If he gets elected every year, he either must be very good or has no competition. I give you a hint: It's the first one 😉
@@foilarmsandhog exactly. There is value in consistency
If you think I'm voting for anyone but Hog on his birthday, you're... probably Jim Mohammad Everyman 😂
A vote is a pint Sam
@@Jim.Mohammad.EverymanYou make an excellent argument. I'm convinced.
Someone give him a pencil so he can practise ✅️, and remember: vote early, vote often.
"what is a politician other than an ugly influencer." Man that was a great line. I tip my hat to you.
Love that he gets the date of the election wrong as well
Influencer Dad - the Origin Story II 😂 look at him. It all started with a 4 hour stream and quickly descended into madness.
Also, the radio station set looks really professional now. No more hearing protectors for headphones, haha.
Have a wonderful day!
We really couldn't hear eachother at all!
I started watching with the expectation the influencer would be cringey and wrong about everything - however, he was more often right than wrong. "You have to leave your house to vote?! Only old people would do that" alas, so true! 😂
Influencer dad should have made a cameo at the end saying: "So, you stole my McCormack's dry rolled oats gig. You go to jail once and that what happens...
😂
I hope Foil doesn't wake up one day and his influencer-characters have taken over his body and brain and wardrobe. 😅
All he needs is a suit and he can actually be convincing. And have a pen in the jacket pocket just for show. Influencers don’t know what an autograph is.
I feel the hosts frustration 😂 well done making it too real 😂
We're free! Hog's got the funniest small remarks that almost go unnoticed.
Nooooo lads. The first sketch title was much better, and more descriptive of the sketch! Please consider bringing it back to the original "An Influencer Goes For Election". 🙏
Lots of love from China. Just joined patreon in time for news that the US is planning on kicking us out of the SWIFT banking system, so basically my days as a paying member are numbered. Gonna enjoy your content while I can. Keep up the good work lads! Hopefully world peace can be achieved through comedy❤️
Thanks for joining, we really appreciate that!
Do more of this style of interviews!
Well Done!
Since it is the local London Mayor and local elections today, fun fact (I wonder if he was inspiration for this), but 3 years ago in 2021, Nico Omilana who is a UA-camr actually got 5th place (after the 4 main parties). A true, true underdog cause he's not an actual politican but to become first out of all the other independants and small serious parties, I was actually proud and had fun casting my vote for him.😆
Since we knew who was going to win, may as well help the small, fun peeps!
Your votes truly do count, head to the polls today!
Rollcall!
"Ananya?"
"Here!"
"Jim?"
"Here!"
"Arms?"
"......
Look at us all here, bright and early in the comments, whilst Arms is somewhere else, slacking off. Tut tut tut 🙄😂
Here!
Tut tut tut..
Aha! I'm here, late, but I'm here
@@foilarmsandhog FINALLY HE DECIDES TO SHOW UP!!! 😂
...and won't you look at that, he's instantly forgiven 🤣
@@SamFAHnthaof course he is, who could be grumpy at him for a long time 😂
I like Arms as annoyed radio host. Who will he interview next? Richard Chandely, La Bullshat, a comedian? I'll tune in whoever it is. 😅
I have a lot of experience, listening to Pat Kenny
I'd LOVE to see him interview La Bullshat!
That would be funny for sure 😂
@@suecole6473 Arm's one man show, when Foil and Hog leave him home alone.
I'm hoping for Richard 🥰
"But what is a politician, other than just an ugly influencer." - Luke McDonagh.
That's an old one; "Politics is show business for ugly people".
This is absolutely a foreshadowing of where we’re headed in just a couple of years.
More political stuff wrapped up as nonsense! You really are masters of the message. Love it!
We need a 1 hour skit where it's a full on interview! hahaha-ha.
WTFs a pencil is the best part.
There are tons of politicians behaving like influencers on Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin.
Very generic and pointless comment, but considering all you’ve given to my well being since 2017, then it seems warranted, I love you guys, you restore my faith in comedy and in humans in general and I just wish you all the best for Skittish and beyond. 💙
The intensified south Dublin accent is what makes it for me
My favorite lines are the "What the fuck's a pencil?" and the idea that only the elderly will leave their homes to vote and then "I don't poll well with the over 35s" (implying that is the starting point of being elderly is 35!).
😂 excellent and scary accurate….you guys are clear interpreters of the world-wide political and social situation- love it! ❤
"What's a pencil?!" Lol!
The pencil bit got me 🤣🤣🤣
When the lines become blurred!😂
Ha Ha This guys are so funny . I can’t wait for next Thursday. Foil you are a very good actor and Arms you too
When I trust Count Binface more than actual politicians 😂
"What's a pencil?" Is too true to be funny
I've seen five pencils today maybe they are slowly coming back.
BUT DO YOU HAVE A CAMPAIGN SONG EVO?
Really want to use the wee woo hoo! at 2:49 for patreon notifications.
**noted**
@@SamFAHntha I did it! Thanks google 😅
"I don't do well with the over 35s!"
The mic sound and mix just nailed what these shows sound like. Great attention to detail
"What the _ _ _ _ a pencil" yeah that sounds about right, I haven't had to use one in years and doubt newer generations will have seen one.
This may be how we ended up with a couple of our congressional reps in the US.
It's actually much easier because of the spoiler effect. They've had ranked-choice voting for ages in Ireland.
"Only old people do that."
Hence the problem.
Fantastic voice acting by HogGareth! Good stuff Gareth, I can help you register to vote if you'd like a free pint
Very sneaky! I see what you're doing! Go Jim! 😂
So the election is on 24th May? I wonder who came up with that date for the script 😄
Hog was very pleased when we included it
Just stumbled on these guys. Some good laughs here!
Great Video!
Will need to remember that line "What is a politician other than an ugly influencer!"
ran into sean a couple of weeks ago on inns quay. lovely lad and he was in a rush but still stopped to speak to me . too bad i mad an ass out of myself becuase i was starstruck but delighted to meet him in person again
I'll find out which one! Wasn't me anyway, I'm Conor
@@foilarmsandhog or popularly known as "Not Sean" 🤣
@@foilarmsandhog thanks conor it's was sean Flanagan and if you could pass along the I'm sorry message because I think I barely let him speak because I was so nervous I was just rambling 🤣🤣
Yay! An influencer sketch! They are one of my favorites
I assume this is set before he got himself arrested? Or he's just confident that his followers will vote for him even with a criminal record.
I kid you not. But in India we have our elections going on and a stand up comedian plans to contest against Modi and stand for elections 😆
Wasn’t Zelensky a comedian?
He is so fire! I regularly check the Crying Playlist for updates.
The crying playlist 😂😂😂😂
Now Radio got actual headphones how cool is that! 😂
"We're free!" and awkward face... Hog ♥♥♥
Great timing for your UK audience, local council elections here. I've got to vote in a nursing home, i hope i don't encounter a Mrs Geraghty...
Oh.. hello there Katie.. I hope you brought me the package...
@@foilarmsandhog crikey, Mrs G! I want t expecting you here. Err, I'll leave your parcel behind the flower arrangement by the front entrance 😬 (I could only get the 70cl, sorry!)
I admire the ingenious set for the radio studio, complete with window in front 😄
That radio host looks like hes questioning his choice of career 😅 🎉 .. and posted on the same day as UK local election day ..coincidence ..i think not hahaha 😅 great one lads
We can sometimes accidentally be topical
You can tell the influencer is evil because he's an Irish person who wants to collab with the UK 🤣🤣
This one is very funny, witty and clever. Good one ❤
Is this the influencer Dad or another one? He doesn't strike me as extreme like him.
I think it's a different one!
That wtf is a pencil at the end was so good
Genius as always lads 😂😂😂
“Nice gestures but hardly activism.” Exactly! 😂
Another banger!
For the record, they actually use decent mics for once. Kudos to them!
First like for the first time ever! Hey Armsy how are you?
I'm so sorry but-... Actually you know what, I'm not gonna say it 😂
I'm good this morning! got delayed, but I'm here
Great stuff again lads! Has Arms grown a foot since we seen him last week? He's towering over yis.
They must have let me wear my shoes
Maybe their office is on an incline haha
1:16 “WAS SOO FOOONI!” Haha I want to use that
