The way the dad slowly lifts his phone to film the angry therapist - he's seen another viral opportunity! Great stuff! 🤣👏

"How did she get the Doritos deal?" "She bought them!". Class 🤣🤣🤣. The sad thing is this issue is way more common in families than sometimes it would appear. Fab sketch guys, poor lil Alexie, the pain written all over his face 😢.

[laurenconrad]

This was hysterical, though I have a feeling that there are several real life 10-year-old kids out there for whom this will hit a really raw nerve either now or in a few years. Haha

[lyndaf.]

One of the best sketches you’ve done!! I think a copy should be sent to every influencer who uses their kids for social media content!!!

[suecole]

That was amazing. The depth of emotion reached in a couple of minutes was truly great acting. And if that’s not enough, there is a full back story, complex relationships and story arc. Bloody hell! Also the surreptitious glance at the crocs. Tears and laughter in 3 minutes. Thank you so much.

No amount of college, Masters, PhD and work experience has prepared the therapist for this kind of family drama. Love it.

[rebeccacasey]

Yay! Influencer dad and therapist in the same sketch, incredible!! Best of luck with the gig tonight lads! 😁😁

[serajacob]

The therapist is gonna need therapy if he books anymore sessions with the influencer 😆
I love how Alexie ends up leading the session

Spot on for an Irish vlogger family who filmed themselves in the waiting room of a gender therapy clinic they took their 9 year old to, constantly asking 'How are you feeling, what are you thinking'. This is the sad reality for that child and their siblings (incl. having been filmed in the bed, accidents in bed shared, and much, much more...), as well as many others out there. There should be a law against family vlogging.

Damn, these three are truly calling out the hundreds of family channels here who are exploiting their children in a comedic way. Big props to Hogs too, you can truly hear the pain in Alexei's voice when confronting his dad. Great job!

[jennywren]

You are all PERFECT in this. Arms your facial expressions are gold!!! Poor darling Alexi. Foil in this role is the best (and worst.. what an arse)!!

[garciamiki]

This is a serious sketch. Millions of kids are going through this. An academic sociology/media piece can be written based on this video. Great job, lads!!!

[moragf]

Another thought provoking sketch with great characterisation - loving your work as ever guys.
Wishing we could all stand up for normality like Alexei and the Therapist.

[tilliebops]

Arms could give a whole new acting class: Acting! With glasses

[malinakalando]

Man Arms really just went all in there in the end. Angry therapist haha. Loved the sketch! Hope you have a great show tonight as well.

[livesontrial]

Hog's facial expressions are incredible! What a talented actor!

[enidan_]

Gosh, this was so painful to watch. Which really shows what great actors all of you are. Very well done!

[crumbsintopebbles]

I love how you can see the different 'points of view' through the camera.
Influencer Dad sees everything as a business/content opportunity; whenever he's filming everything looks loud and rather awkward. He doesn't take things seriously at all. Compare that to the setup when Alexi and the therapist are speaking/reacting, which is simpler and in many ways more realistic, but it also looks much more serious.
A good example of this is when the therapist finally snaps. The framing literally goes from "understandably pissed and fiercely caring about his patient" to "THERAPIST EXPLODES (SHOCKING!!!)"

[egalitarian-rex]

Brilliant acting by the lot of you! I really enjoyed this skit.
