Foil Arms and Hog

[squirrelsforshort]

To add insult to injury, this video was preceded by an unskippable airbnb advert

[ritam]

When he said “I like them all” i knew it was all over 🥲

[rnvaamonde]

The "coincidence" of B'yastard being at the front of the line when it was a "lottery" is the best part lol

[Colm]

When did you lads move from comedy sketches to fly on the wall documentaries?!

[josephinecronin]

Untrustworthy Foil is such a good character. Cheery, optimistic and crushed Hog is heartbreaking. And seeing Arms’ selling his soul is always great. Nice one, lads. [starts crying]

[MedlifeCrisis]

No gas lads, but this is exceptionally good comedy. Superbly acted, poignant, funny. Would stand up against some of the great serious-funny sketches of 80s and 90s TV

[Ajuhdnis]

I first thought B'yastard was a man of few words. After watching again, it turns out he never lied to Hog's character. Nice detailing as always.

[Zeverinsen]

There needs to be LAWS against this 😭
At this rate, I won't ever be able to actually own a home.
These companies overpay BEFORE normal people can even bid, only to turn around and loot our pockets.

The part that shocked me the most was Foil’s character going from a pleasant stranger to a backstabber 😳 my heart dropped

[louiseegan]

The worrying part is that this is like a documentary rather than an exaggeration on facts. Thanks for highlighting this reality guys. “ if you want to own your own home you need to work hard for the leaving cert, to go to college, get a good job and work hard” Me 17 years after the leaving cert “ eh hello? I did all the things you said, can I have my own place now please?” *tumble weed*

( disclaimer: I’m not saying everyone needs to take that path, this was just my own personal experience)

[majdramadan]

The comedic timing on this one was exceptionally great. And the B’yastard Group, lovely name.

[simonwhite]

I didn’t know what was coming, my wife just looked at me and said, “you know he’s going to take them all don’t you?”. The penny dropped, sadly.

You forgot to mention that the house rent is over 3000€ /month 😩

[autumnhd]

The production quality on this is amazing, with the tactical camera angles to allow for more characters, the background audio where you can hear the hum of the AC and other office noises, the fade to eerie music at the plot twist, and the perfect double talk from B'yastard where he never told a single lie. The audio production really sold this sketch, this level of detail rivals most TV shows today.

[mitaalishukla]

Wow! There are entire movies that have less emotional impact than what you packed into just 2 minutes! Brilliant, lads, brilliant! Take a bow 👏👏👏👏👏

[BrianBoyko]

Heartbreaking, and true not just in Ireland, but around the world.

[jennywinter]

Love that you can bring humour to the worst of situations. You guys are really on a roll at the moment!

[LHarris]

It's an amazing sketch it's just so sad how accurate it is in most of ireland, UK, Canada and other countries right now. People going homeless just because there's nothing to buy or rent (for less than 3x market value anyway)

[rojprakash]

This is... heartbreaking. I'm sorry, Hog. And that B'yastard probably didn't even have to join the lottery for the queue.

[recklessroges]

This was a little too real, salvaged by the perfect execution of a knowing smug smile.
