EUROPEANS! We're coming to Copenhagen, Prague, Hamburg, Rotterdam and Köln this November! - Patreon Pre-sale (23rd or 24th) Jan, and On Sale 26th Jan! After much online abuse, we'll be honouring the danes and Czechs with our presence.
So selfless of you. After all they've put you through 😆
What does it take to get you guys to come to Italy?😅
What about Switzerland? I keep on trying!!!!
I wouldn't mind if you came to Poland, too. After Brexit all the Poles came back to motherland so it would be nice if you came to see how they are coping and cheer them up with the British/Irish humour 😁
@@IngleseconAnna precisely!!
“It’s the same actor playing different characters.” “Well that’s needlessly confusing.” That’s pretty rich coming from a bunch of lads who each played 3 different people at the same funeral last week. 😂
I agree! So much of this sketch was extra-funny BECAUSE it was coming from actors who do perform on stage (and screen)!
@@anonymous_selkie Totally 😂
On the nose😂
The funny thing is also that Dario Fo has on purpose, in some plays, the same actors in some roles and the actors are commenting on this. So someone called for it before them 😉
“I’ve been smiling for 20 minutes, I’m doing more acting than he is” had me dying 😂😂
great!
Me too!! Best line
great line
That was my favourite line.
Same. Best line in the sketch, and sometimes very true... XD
I have to admit, Foil’s character really spoke to me at the end. Every time I do a long performance of some kind and the audience wants more than one curtain call I always end up smiling like a maniac but muttering “go home go home go home, I wanna go home!” through gritted teeth whilst still on stage 😅
It must be so conflicting 😅
Been there, seen that :D
I hear you😂 I used to be a ballet dancer. Sometimes I was in a great mood and basked in the standing ovations and other times I wanted to throw the bouquet of flowers a little kid inevitably gives you into the audience with as much force as possible and go stomping off the stage.
Honestly that's on the venue. Do one curtain call and then turn on the audience lights to tell them to stop and go home. That way you also don't get the awkward slow death of an applause.
Lol what kind of bs is the concept that what unites the greats is humility and love. No what they have have is ability and talent, often honed by a lot of dedicated work but the personalities behind that vary. And you just have to look at history right up to the 20th century to find artists, amazing, genius artists of all genres who were also um kind of bastards 😁
i love the Snob cameo in this 😂
When he said "........" - I felt that.
Not to knock the other two but in my opinion he was the best part. Well done Hog.
Exactly my thought
He's unusually silent this time
@@robertarisz8464 You could say he hogged the theatre scene.(sorry)
That was fantastic 😂
I’ve always wondered why so many theatre shows have a burglary scene in them, thanks for the explainer!
Yeah most do, it's never mentioned
It's an homage to the millions of crimes that go unnoticed every year.
Tradition. You don't mess with tradition. Stage folk are frightfully superstitious.
@@dittilio that’s very true
It's ninja training.
I appreciated seeing the Snob as a background character. I was wondering why he was there doing so little, but of course he is the one to ask questions when everyone wants to leave
Just think of theatre as a really really good 3D movie, so immersive it’s like the actors are right there.
haha that would have been great, where were you when we were writing this
@@foilarmsandhog hahahaha, probably still at the theatre, staring at the curtain waiting for the post credits scene! 😂
@@markalmbar to see wee
So like 4D Thor Ragnarok theatre 😂
As an educator, I sometimes get to accompany my students to our local theater for some mildly entertaining children’s theater. We saw the bridged version of the Nutcracker in December. Unfortunately, our school is always assigned to the balcony… I’m talking worst seats in the house! It never fails that some of my students lose interest…often they ask why they’re watching such a small tablet screen and how do we turn up the volume? 😂 They’re so confused when I tell them we’re watching real people on a stage (even though we discuss theaters vs movie theaters before going). I once had a kiddo ask me to rewind it. Kindergarten, whatcha gonna do? 🤷🏻♀️😂
NO WAY, that's hilarious!!
Ok... No... Wait.... Damn it, I am either too old to accept this, or kids never were the cleverest creatures...
It’s sad that they’d put kids in those seat.🙄
@@nikolaysargsyan6349 They are just searching for patterns thats how they learn. Considering how movies are way more common nowadays, its totally normal to assume what you see is a cinema. Like I also assume that most screens I encounter are touch sensitive nowadays, and get surprised when a few terminals use buttons instead... Although I would be worried about their perception of depth
so funny
For once the snob was the most reasonable and chill guy in the sketch! 😂😆
Very accurate!
I can say as someone who's done traveling shows that we don't mind when the audience does laugh loudly.
We were doing a comedy one time in a very small town. No one laughed. We kept professional, but kept shooting glances at each other and back stage was whispering up a storm. Just what went wrong??
After a nice older woman came up and said she loved it. So much she barely held back her laughter.
When we told her it was fine. She was supposed to laugh she clutched her chest and exclaimed, "in a theatre?! That wouldn't be proper!"
That's so weird to me - I'm a Londoner (the English one) and I've always laughed in the theatre, when appropriate. And maybe once when it wasn't, but even then I just got a couple of glances but never felt like I was doing anything wrong!
Plenty of audiences I've been in for West End, East London local venues, and the National have laughed heartily... Is this a regional tradition, perhaps?
Is this my 'cheeky cockney' showing?
@@helenl3193 Not at all! West coast USA, you are absolutely encouraged to laugh. It gives energy to the actors and makes the show better. My theater friends specifically invite me because my laugh is loud and I find everything funny.
„What did you think was behind that big curtain? A screen!“ My favourite line! Brilliant sketch and so accurate!
Okay, but for real, I do love a cinema that puts the screen behind big curtains. Adds an element of class to Alvin and the Chipmunks: Take Two.
When I was younger our movie theater did have screens with curtains
I never saw the curtain cover the whole thing though. I think it was just used to elegantly adjust the screen's aspect ratio :)
Imagine if TVs at home had tiny curtains that were drawn every time you switched it from standard to HD 😁😁
@Feral Shade indeed. Great way to hide the black rectangle when not in use, then make watching the TV more of an occasion.
Yeah. Not getting out much just now.
@@michellebyrom6551 no worries, neither am I 😅
Really fun sketch lads, the costumes felt really well chosen for that one!
Cheers! We actually spent ages discussing
Uh... I thought they just grabbed first clothes they saw at home...
@@Hawky2947 no, that's what their characters did 😉
OMG, I thought you guys had actually gone to film in another location (just like the Snob in Cinema)! Please pass on my congrats to Hog the Set Guru, for doing such a magnificent job really convincing me it was an actual theatre! 👍😃
Same here!! Bestboy at it again!
The best part is the Snob is sitting behind them 😂
This happened to me once - though I see now it could have been much worse. I went to see a what I thought was a normal film and as a character randomly burst into song, I realised, to my horror, it was a musical. As I groaned and sunk into my seat my friend and her family who'd brought me along laughed and laughed... Still get flashbacks.
Hahaha oh dear, oh no, oh I'm so sorry... For laughing so much at your misery BAHAHAHAHA
That is FANTASTIC
@@SamFAHntha @Foil Arms and Hog Glad it's amused yous both. The worst bit was - I kept forgetting. Like I would start watching it as a normal film again and then get a new shock at each completely unnecessary song. Why have they started sing talking!? ... oh god no.
What musical was it?
@@Emma_W_ Comments like these are why I keep coming back every Thursday
😂 Reminds me of when I was watching National Theatre’s streamed, minimalist version of Jane Eyre. My dad would come into the room at various times and was very confused. “What is he doing?” “He’s playing the dog.” Later: “What is the dog doing?” “Oh no, now he’s playing a candelabra.”
I saw that too!
@@RuthieDuthie It’s the best version of Jane Eyre I’ve ever seen!
... The dog played a candelabra? As in was acting the part, or used it as an instrument?
Either way, that's one talented dog!
I was convinced this is how the snob went to the prison.
😂😂
I'm assuming this is Stephen and Gerald, and now I just want to see Stephen reacting to all kinds of modern art. Interpretive dance, spoken word poetry, maybe a performance piece by La Bullshat. 10/10 would want to hear his reviews.
Yes please and thank you!! 🤩🤩🤩
He doesn't want to feel threatened by Geralt's artistic friends anymore 👍
Which sketches are those characters in? (I usually just remember what they do, not their names.)
@@TheDanishGuyReviews How to be a lad, and I think its the same characters in the marathons and walks are for losers sketches and last minute Christmas gifts sketch, but I could be wrong about those three.
@@TheDanishGuyReviews How to be a Lad, Home Gym Instructor, Walking is for Losers, Never Sponsor Someone, etc.
Loved Foil's character in this. Though the 'are they eating the food?' 'He has to lie there for the whole play.' made me wonder if he was playing a character or himself 😂 Great sketch! *Theatre laugh and theatre clapping*
“I’ve had a smile on my face for 20 minutes. I’m doing more acting than he is”. 😂😂 That line cracked me up 🤣
Is this the first snob cameo? Love the fact that he's being integrated into sketches where he isn't the focus. Great stuff as always.👍
Love this! 🤣 I don't go to the theater very often, but when I do I also get surprised when there's an orchestra below the stage 😂
Next time get them back for surprising you by asking them to play Cotton Eyed Joe...
"I'm doing more acting than he is" - brilliant writing, so meta! 🤯
I don't know how they constantly write original stuff but I am SO here for it!
Oh, man, the end spoke to me - you DON'T need to give a standing ovation to every performance you go to! It's lost all meaning because people just started standing up no matter the quality of the performance. Stand only when it's something that was REALLY great! Same goes for the prolonged clapping.
Your final joke is always comedy gold!
Ah thanks Roger, we had good fun with that
"I'm doing more acting than he is." That I do believe you, Sir! *Bows down to Foil the greatest one*
The fact that I relate and empathize so much to Foil's character, really really shows my character.
Absolutely hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣
This ones for you!
We took my sister to the Swan Lake ballet once and she kept asking questions about what was happening, until my mom bend over and asked “if she ever saw the Barbie movie about swan lake” followed by a big “ooooh! Now I get it ” Good times 😅
Finally someone is standing up for those of us that refuse to stand for underserved standing ovations
Great job, FAH!
It had been years since I had been to the theater when my aunt treated me to see Wicked in the early 2000’s.
I was a bit confused by the abrupt ending, but declared that I had enjoyed the play and walked out the building with aunt following behind, informing me that it was only an intermission. 😂
My favorite line: I didn’t like it either, it’s just what you do!
Also, you’re getting quite good at the harmonizing at the end. A part of me wondered if you would have ended with STELLAAAAAAAHH on this one 😊
This sketch is amazing!! I love how the snob made an appearance too and the set is so spot on I have no idea how you guys do it, so much talent!! 😁😁
I like to believe that this is a prelude to the Snob Goes to Prison sketch, and the crime for which the Snob was imprisoned is attacking a guy in a theater when he wouldn't stop talking during a play. :D
but the best part of the sketch is just hog in the back trying not to break haha
He laughed quite a bit
As soon as I saw Hog in his snob costume behind them, I was on the edge of my seat expecting him to launch into a lecture on the history of ✨*theatre* ✨
"...if we stop clapping, everyone can go home!" 🤣
Genius lads. Genius!
😂 This made me burst out laughing in the middle of our university library. Everyone's staring at me now but that was definitely worth it. What a great idea.
Have a wonderful day!
Awww how sweet hahaha, wishing you a wonderful one too!
You don't laugh like that in a university library!
@@Livikyu Chuckles University
And this is how a human with no fantasy acts in a theatre.
The snob apparently survived prison to ironically asked about burglary.
"I'm doin more acting than he is!"
It do be like that sometimes Foil. You just gonna grin and bear it!
That was the most confusing production of Streetcar I've never seen. Can't really blame Foil for all the questions.
With fantastic stuff like this and last week's sketches, you'll get a million subscribers in no time! 👏
The meta aspect of it - actors pretending to be theatre-goers, pointing out quirks and absurdities of theatre - made this one especially funny. I wonder how the Snob survived the stabbing and escaped prison, though? Or perhaps this is a prequel, before his incarceration?
oh man. I feel like being stuck behind these two is the snob's idea of hell.
This almost turned into A Snob murderers someone at the theatre
If Richard Chandley III had been on stage, Foil's character would not have been bored! 😉😂👏
I feel like you missed an opportunity to have the Snob taking a couple bites off a cheese board in the background lol.
"You can't laugh like that in a theatre."
... Honey hold my beer 🤣
Going to the theatre tonight so here for some tips. I'll get practising my theatre laugh.
Many years ago I went to see The Comedy Of Errors which has twins who don't know each other. They really couldn't have found two more physically different actors.
Really gave a meaning to suspension of disbelief.
Coincidentally there was a burglary scene in that too! 😉
Hog's line right at the end was just superb, as was the look on Foil's face
The Snob doesn't look so snobbish in his natural habitat.
This actually got my blood pressure up - people who talk / don’t be behave in the theatre are the absolute worst. At least he wasn’t checking his phone or taking pictures!
With the flash on 😩
I was expecting Hog to comment non stop during the play, because I recognized him as the art critic from an earlier video.
the little detail to put snop behind LMAO
Nice to see that the Snob has got out of prison and is enjoying the theatre again!
Great casting choice with Foil in that role - unexpected, but brilliant!
He nailed it!
The sketch is hilarious for sure!
but I also enjoyed Arms and Hog being at the brink of breaking character through this.
I love that you love filming this stuff that we love!
Foil is so brilliant. I just can't praise him enough. ❤
That is FAIR enough! ❤️
Great use of lighting and sound effects, very impressed with the camera angle also. You've come a long way since the early days 👏👏👏
“I can still see the kitchen!”
After years being in ‘Props’ for my school plays all I can say glad Foil noticed! 🙄
These 3 are one of the few good reasons to visit UA-cam daily. Wouldn't miss a Sketch from you guys!
Theatre is my first choice as I love the closeness and immediacy of it. Cinema is also fantastic and I love being able to sit and read the credits at the end. This sketch was a great combination and comment on both. As always you are so good in the creativity, and execution. Warm happy glow for the rest of my Auditing today. Thank you xxx
Oh look, there’s ‘The Snob goes to the theatre’ behind them 🤣. Next we need episodes of Oisin and Mom bumping into the snob in different scenarios and with mom having only slightly more tolerance than Oisin 🤣🤣🤣
Love Foil's character turning back to address Hog's one too:):)
I like how the snob is right in the back offering advice and staring disapprovingly
Love it! Great sketch lads, again!
🎶my favourite part so far was the interval🎶
To be fair Jeeves and Wooster did it first.
Drones at the opera:
Tuppy - "Well let's get back stage and congratulate her"
Wooster: "No, no , this is the interval, there's another three acts yet"
Tuppy: "Three!" - look of great consternation, other drones have fallen asleep
There truly is a difference between theatre and cinema and you guys captured that perfectly!
As the daughter of a theatre director, I loved it ☺️ and I'm sure my dad would have laughed too!
The snob survived the shanking! Yay.
I haven't been to see a play in ages! This has made me miss it so much!
Hilarious sketch! Especially the bit about the burglary!
Happy (very cold for where I am!) Thursday!
Love how you brought the snob back in, great touch 🤣
Awww watching this really makes me miss going to the theatre. I must plan to see one now!
That's the most avant garde production of Streetcar ever! Field in France indeed. Brilliant. As always.
My thoughts exactly Sue! Perhaps it was directed by a certain avant garde director?
OH OH I THINK I KNOW THE ONE
@@SamFAHntha are you sure? His work is very exclusive, needlessly complex, impenetrable even. Many layers, like 'un onion'. His piece, 'cat happy, no cat sad' for example.😘
@@katiesmith9482 **smiles like an eejit**
HAHAHAHA this is my new favourite sketch 🤣
"I'm doing more acting than he is!"
Cracked me up, actually all of the lines did. Yes, my cheeks hurt and yes, I'm totally watching it again 🤣🤣🤣
Love it - hope I can catch you live at the cinema again someday!
Now that'd be cool!
An Anne, Oisín and Barry movie would be AMAZING
With all his complaining I'm surprised he clapped at all! Many funny lines in this one. Love the laugh correction, and Hog's expressions/interjections :D
I feel like Hog dressed as the snob character on purpose. Like, he could have worn anything else and sat in the background.
I also like how it leaves so much to the imagination. Is it the Snob? Does the Snob have a twin? Did the Snob bore the guards to death and break out of jail only to go back the the theatre? Is this a continuity error? Is there a multiverse with different versions of the Snob?...
@@flishyfish922 Lol, to me it seems like a toned-down version of the Snob. Loved reading your speculations of a twin or multiverse, though :D!
Orange hoodie guy is the worst, but inadvertently makes some good points about some stupid traditions in theatre.
I‘m a bit shocked the Snob didn’t bring a cheese plate and red wine with him, I guess prison changed him for the better!
"They're only coming back on because we're still clapping!" 😆 He's not wrong but still...
Thanks for a great reminder that it's Thursday, lads!
This sketch is so great! And it became even better when Hog's character asked about the burglary LOL :D (Love you lads
Chekhov's burglary scene made my day.
You forgot the bit where you're in the middle seats, need a pee and the guilt/shame of getting up means you've injured your bladder for life.
Foil really has a talent for playing the annoyed character 🔥🔥
I can totally relate to feeling like I have to pretend to be captivated when sitting in the front row, lol
I smile so much it makes my mouth cramp up! 😂
Ooh, look at the Snob at the back!
Always lurking
@@foilarmsandhog I bet he sneaked in under the seats so he wouldn't have to pay again!
Even in a supporting role the Snob is hilarious 😂
Loved this sketch!! Thank you for making us smile and laugh guys! 😆🤩😁
The Buddy Comedy of Three that I sure would go to the movies to see in a heartbeat or dangit, I'd even pay for a new friggin app if that's where their show was located. Great work as always, gentlemen!! xo
Brilliant! Will definitely think of set changes as burglary scenes from now on! Happy Thursday!
I avoid front row seats at fa&h shows, I feel like they see me in my row and am so relieved when they pick on teachers or Northies that sit up front. I’d freeze and although the biggest chatterbox in real life would lose my words if picked on.
Why do teachers always sit up front?))
Love the ‘stealing’ scene LOL
I simply could not enjoy this because I got vicarious anxiety over the lads not being quiet XD
When I went to a theater as a kid with my school class, there was one other family sitting next to me, and the granny has like a backpack full of snacks and fruit and drinks that she smuggled in, she was giving it to her grandchildren and also noticed us and gave some to us as well. I don't custom theater often, but that first experience as a kid forever made me sympathetic to this art institution.
Thankfully, at the local theatre, it is possible to sit in the seats with a can of nice Irish ale or stout in your hand. I started taking my kids 25 years ago to Christmas pantos and they especially liked the part where you get to yell "Look behind you!" Which is fine at a panto, but after learning about Joyce on a walking trip through Dublin my daughter wanted to see Waiting for Godot. Somehow, shouting "Look behind you!!" does not get the same reception especially since that was not the guy playing Godot behind them. Other than that, nothing actually happened in that play. Twice.
Good luck with your LIVE shows! I do hope you get to tour Asia too.
P.S. So happy to hear you’re on your way to reach a million. All the best!
Let's share them everywhere! With everyone! As much as we can!!
Never heard of a dead body or a burglary scene in, "A Street Car Named Desire."
The way Foil's face lit up at the end 😁
You have NO idea how badly I needed a good laugh today! Thanks so much for always brightening my Thursday!! 😊
Really good sketch. I expected Snob to participate more, but either way, he pointed out. It's funny that Snob and Foil's characters are more similar than I've expected, that why Snob didn't participate much. My sister and I smiled very much at your show in Vienna, so I think you can laugh louder than expected.
I look forward to Thursdays! Foil - I am sort of on that side of thinking. It has to be a really good play for me to even consider going.
Brilliant! You guys are on fire!
