Irish Guy on the 4th of July 

We're touring the USA this November and next March! - Denver, Phoenix, Boston, Chicago, Portland, Seattle, San Diego, New York, San Francisco, Tysons (washington), Saint Paul, Glenside (Philly), San luis Obispo and Munhall (Pittsburgh) - 🇮🇪 www.foilarmsandhog.ie/tour

I'm surprised the man at the counter didnt say "I'm actually irish myself"

Dang right you don't just buy fireworks over the counter of any old shop in America. You go to the county line and buy them from a shipping container turned into a shop called."Crazy Dan's Nuclear Fireworks" like God intended.

‘Kinda like your Canada I suppose…’ Canadians everywhere fainting!

Hersheys bar and a handgun. The American version of a balanced diet

'Try living next to them'. Fair 😂😂

You don’t get fireworks over the counter in the US! You get them out of a large tent set up in the store parking lot like a civilized person

"It was the colonizers who got independence from the colonizers?" 🔥👏

"It started with the Tea Party." "Lyons or Barry's?" 😂

Irish lad seemed to wise up a bit.... then he went back to his default 😂 got to love him!

Seems like the Irish lad has extended his U.S. Visa

"They didn't even bother dressing up for us" is perhaps the most hilarious thing I've heard about the American Revolution vs. the Irish struggle to get the Brits out.

“Imagine being able to buy something as dangerous as that just over the counter” is an amazing Chekhov’s Gun! 😂

He really needed to point him to the very temporary, plywood structure in the carpark for all his firework needs.

We sell our fireworks in sketchy roadside stands. Pretty much anyone with a pulse and most of their fingers can buy them.

This has nothing to do with the sketch, but… On Monday a young girl was at my work doing an internship and she told me that from time to time she watches you, too. It was so special to me because I had never just met someone who knows and likes Foil Arms and Hog “in the wild”, only on the internet or at your gigs. ☺️ She was surprised to hear you are doing live shows and I told her you’ll be coming to Germany next year.

Irish lad went to history class!! Good on him! I sensed the handgun joke looming…!

They didn’t even bother dressing up for us 😅

It’s adorable how you can see the cogs turning in his little head. I bet you’d hear a faint grinding noise if you were standing close by, he was working that hard.

"Don't think about it too much," words to live by for any public holiday. 😅

Irish guy had a shell shock from fireworks, seems about right

“You’re like the computer game on easy mode” 😂😂😂!!!!!! And then what a finish! (So bonkers to non-Americans)

You could see the "handgun" punchline coming from a mile but it hit the target anyway.

“You can’t just walk into a store and buy any fireworks.” *me buying my fireworks every year in a tent popped up in a field next to the highway. 😅

As with many things in the US, fireworks regulations vary vastly from state to state and even within a state. This makes any local/state level attempt to regulate fireworks kind of pointless, because you can always just drive to the next area that doesn't regulate them. A good example of this is the city of Chicago bans the sale of fireworks, but just across the border in Indiana there's a giant fireworks store.

Brilliant 😂 I'm beginning to think that the Irish lad's default behavior is just a facade so that he can have some fun while throwing in some passive aggressive comments. Sei schlau, stell dich dumm (Be smart, play dumb) as we say in Germany. Have a wonderful day!

Can’t wait for the Canadian version where it’s the three of you against a bear in the Mountie uniform.

A few weeks ago I had to give a talk at school about the 4th of July. Even though I am German, I was just as confused as the Irish lad 😂

Ugh camomile?? 😂😂😂 His expression omg

Well, fellows, I did it. I signed up to be a supporter of FAH via Patreon. First time I've been so impressed by an entity to do so. I'm still working out logistics to come see you guys when you come to Seattle in November. Hopefully, I will be able to order the tickets soon. Great upload today. Appreciate the nod to US history. Our revolt arose when Britain decided to levy taxes on the colonists to pay for the costs of maintaining a military presence here. Taxation without representation was the battle cry. Now, independent as we are and representation in Congress as we have, we still grumble about taxes. Go figure! I appreciate the smiles and joy your sketches bring to me. You truly make a positive difference for so many. Keep up the good work.

"A hersheys and a hand-gun" - not sure whether to laugh or cry

"Just don't think about it too much" Solid advice for all kinds of situations

In an ironic twist if you want the best fireworks you go to an "indian reservation".

Love love love Irish guy. Never as daft as he acts.

Colonisers fighting for independence from colonisers - I'd never thought about it like that! 😂 Brilliant sketch lads!

There are layers of understanding here - on the surface it is like 'ha, ha, that's dumb' - then it is 'wait a moment, that's dumb.. is it not?' - then it progresses to 'when you really think about it, shift perspective a little bit, allow the dumb thought to sink in, there is a depth of irony, wisdom and enlightenment awaiting, like a shark waiting to bite you in the arse'. This is what the sense of humor is for, and you gentlemen are masters of it :)

I loved the commentary on the revolutionaries being colonizers themselves! It’s not often thought about.

Superb back of the head acting there! All the emotions: Joy, pride, confusion, disappointment, anger, recognition.

"A Hershey's bar and a handgun". America in a mood.

To be fair, the shop will run a background check on the customer before selling them a handgun.

"Just enjoy it and" Finally the fourth member gets some recognition and care 😆

I love ALL Foil Arms and Hog videos!!!! ❤

The one thing from this sketch we can all agree on is that chamomile tastes vile.

J1 lad is back!! Those red cups...why are the red cups always so American! Thanks so much for releasing Hogwash on Patreon lads. It's been an incredibly stressful week at work and rewatching bits of Hogwash is keeping me going ❤😂

'just don't think about it too much' 🤣

Thank you for releasing Hogwash on Patreon, loved every minute of it and it brought back so many happy memories!! 😍 I have a suggestion for you: would you consider releasing the Olympic Walking sketch during the Olympics this August? Will be easy for you when you are in Edinburgh (either to release the live sketch itself or to film it again) It'd be a great hit!! Plus there are Walking races scheduled for Thursdays as well (on the 1st and 8th August) 😃

If America is the "computer game on easy mode", then Florida must be where they activated console commands.

Irish lad is back! I have a soft spot for his attitude ☺️ Thanks for the laughs, lads!

Don't forget Canada Day! That would be hilarious :)

Who would have thought that it only needs an Irish lad to sum up America's history! It really is as simple as that 😅

Foil’s American accent has really improved over the years! 👍🇺🇸

Not to look down on the hilarious other stuff you have done but this particular one was an absolute gem! XD

That scared jump is funny and weird at the same time. Well done Arms the actor and the editor. 😂😅

I think,Arms was just playing my role😂

Can't wait to see you guys again! So happy you're coming to Arizona! 🎉

Woah there, you cant just buy fireworks at the store, you gotta go to the tent in the parking lot!

You forgot to mention that without the help of the French it could have been very different 😂

The Irish lad is superbly acted.

Too clever ✨ I love the friendliness of the Irish lad 💚 including his familiar ''good man'', at the end 😆 ... hilarious response, in this context 😅😂

Just foil casually wearing a skittish tshirt...

Totally unbelievable, no respecting irish lad would buy a Hershey's bar...

Boys, in Wisconsin you can buy as many fireworks for the firework shop as you want. No questions asked.

... and a hand gun. 😂😂😂😂😂

If you're in the UK: VOTE

Great craic. And with the fireworks in the back I had to think of all the pyrotechnics chants during the Euros rn.

Bring back Anne and Oisin flannigan!!!!!

Actually, in many states it's not hard to get fireworks at all. Besides actually brick and mortar stores, they even set up roadside tables and tents where you just pull up and buy a truckload.

Imagine if u can something as dangerous as Fireworks over the counter (lad buying a gun in 3..2..1)

Funny. And a funny way to promote your upcoming gigs in the US - throw a bit of not-so-subtle shade at them first 😆😬😅

Brit living in phoenix, I’m super excited to go see you live

In my state the fireworks are sold from a tent in the parking lot at Walmart.

It's true, you don't get fireworks from behind the counter. you get them from roadside stalls under a tent

"Sounds kind of ungrateful"...to whom?! 😂 is it possible to be ungrateful to oneself?

Low-hanging fruit at the end there, guys. I approve!

American here: "Hershey's bar and handgun" I approve this message!😊

The "Whoa buddy, you can't just buy fireworks over the counter like that." Ah yeah bruv, gotta go in the parking lot and buy them from that old guy in the tent, couldn't possibly keep them indoors, it's a fire hazard.

Seriously, when watching the hogwash recording last night, I was sooo looking forward to seeing Skittish in copenhagen next year…still can’t believe Ive decided to do this 😂😂

Ummm...lads....there aren't really that many regulations around fireworks. Here in Texas, and in other parts of the South there are actually fireworks stores where you can indeed "buy them over the counter". Now, setting them off on the other hand.....well...that's a whole 'nother ballgame right there.

Not sure what's more dangerous; the hersheys bar or the handgun.

Irish lad paid attention in history and geography class. He should try for a teaching job.

During the outro I thought Hog was naked again (if you know you know) 🤣🤣

Oh, the truth in this sketch! In my neck of the woods, it’s difficult to tell if it’s fireworks or the over the counter item. Best be prepared for both I guess. 😅

I missed the clueless Irish lad😂

Who is under the impression we can't just buy fireworks? 😂 I mean, you don't even get carded for them.

nice to see Irish lad back!!! have not seen him in a while. nice sketch happy 4TH!!

It depends on the state. In "Live Free or Die"* New Hampshire, there's seasonal pop-up shops that'll sell you all sorts of explos-- I mean, fireworks. * The state's motto.

While in the UK: Let's do an election on July 4th!

Armstrong at his Lego man stage hairstyle again I see. We love to see it 😉😂

Y’All need to add Dallas or Fort Worth Texas to you tour in the USA. Would love to see you.

Skittish merch! That must mean its official, it's really a-coming! 😍Are you bringing the fireworks to the Fringe, or should we?

To be clear, getting fireworks is easy in the same states it is easy to get a gun. Not 2 miles from my work is a big tent that popped up just to sell it this time of year (notably, I work in KS)

You can buy small fireworks over the counter really easy in most us states!

Great educators are back! 🎉 Fun way to learn history - both Irish and today a bit of American 😅

"Just don't think about it too much." 😂😭

They didn’t bother dressing up for us 😂😂

You hung the flags backwards!😩😂

The comedy was so smooth here. The lines were just flowing intuitively, almost like you created the first draft and then acted it out. I don't know how to explain it. As always, you lads rock at political comedy 😂

Computer game on easy mode 🤣🤣🤣

Smartly written as always, lads.

as a Chinese i find your guys videos the perfect way to learn the history and culture of the western world. (glad that i dont need google to understand all the jokes in this video. )
