Making Friends as an Adult is really hard 

First sketch we've ever used three cameras on. Meant we could do it all in one take and give that sitcom type vibe

"It's like they hit their thirties and they decide they've met everyone who's gonna be at their funeral" is such a good line.

I got to know my childhood bestie because she randomly walked past my house and I asked her if she wanted to come see my bunny. Somehow I think that wouldn't be the best strategy as an adult.

This hit too close to home. Making friends when you’re an adult is so freaking hard. I miss the old days of being friends with someone just because we were in the same class at school.

The idea of being an adult and making friends is enough to induce a cold sweat. But, going forwards I shall select any new friends based entirely on their biscuit choices. Solid advice there.

It's true.. making friends was much easier when we were kids.. nice sketch 😊

Apparently the best way to make friends is to form a comedy group and tour the world together 😉

It's just hard to differentiate between all the different kinds of "friendships" that people are looking for. You can't be more straightforward than "Do you wanna be friends with me?" and people still interpret it weird 😂

I am recently single and I'm still with Foil on this. Making new friends is hard! Right down to accidentally going on a date.

This is unexpectedly true and deep. Really hard to make friends, have trips or lunches together and worthwhile conversations. The online world and media are really obsessed about sex.

It’s not a comedy. It’s a documentary. Great job lads! 😂

"I think I wish I was single" took the sketch to the whole new level 😂😂😂😂

It’s wrapped up in a funny sketch, but as a person in my mid 30s, it is a hard truth that making friends at this age is an impossible nightmare.

Arms: “What do you think the ‘maybe more’ stood for?” Foil: “Hill walking.” Props to the writing again!

This hit sooo many of my own personal difficulties with making friends- I'm asexual and people interpret friendly overtures it as 'confident and self-assured flirting' instead of 'hey, I am really enjoying playing this board game with you!'. I would rate myself on the wrong side of average, looks-wise, but I still seem to turn down a lot of people. So I guess the message here is that if you want a date, act completely clueless?

He needs to find himself an Irish sketch comedy trio to become obsessed with, I've found that lead to a surprisingly rich seam of brand new friends as an adult 🥰

Lads, this tight script has real, multi-season, sitcom feel. Starting a petition for more, please.

You touched me.. The older you get the more you appreciate the people who know (really know) who you are and it takes so much courage to plunge into the deep end of making new friends pool :) especially if all you want is a wholesome conversation over a nice meal .. or hill walking. Thank you for being in this world and bringing so much fun (or should I say craic) to everyone who's been lucky enough to come across you! 😊

Foil has such an innocent mindset it's so wholesome and funny 😂🥺❤ Hope you find a friend soon mate

As an aroace person I relate to Foil's struggles in this sketch so much😅

So, a few years back I made a blog post about this. I called it "The Curse of the Thirties" . In my particular case I moved to a different city for college and stayed there in the end so here's what happens in that situation: - you leave your existing circle of friends behind; you try to stay in touch but over the years that fades and fades until it's gone - you make new college friends but some of them will eventually move back to their hometowns (very common thing to do in Croatia) and fade away - your new college friends who stay behind will settle down eventually - your college friends who stayed around and settled will get babies and if you don't have a child you'll be pushed out in favour of other people with children with whom they'll now hang out and have plenty in common - you will try to find new friends but you'll run into what I call "established circles" because people your age (thirties or so) will already have a circle of friends and most often there is no room for more because no one is willing to start the process afresh - you will try to squeeze in but you'll find out that these are not true friendships but rather "purpose-built acquaintances". - for example you'll find gym buddies, or you'll join running schools or you'll find D&D groups or boardgame groups and they might welcome you, BUT when your joint activity ends for the day those people will likely go back to their spouses, children or their existing circle of friends And it gets more and more difficult to penetrate these walls as you get older. I'm only 35 so I have yet to live and see what happens when you get very old, like 70+ I think at that point you'll be able to make new friends because most of the people around you will be alone sadly and/or they'll have PLENTY of time to kill. Very rarely you WILL be able to make new friends later in life but those will almost NEVER be as strong as your childhood friends because we are all adults with unique aspirations, abilities, wishes, opportunities etc. By the time we're 30+ we will have made some choices which define us and have duties, obligations and/or desires to pursue so even if you do find new friends you'll most often end up putting them on the back burner in favour of everything that happens in your life. And others will do this to you. And that's fine. Sometimes it IS a little bit difficult if you're 30+ or something and don't have that one person whom you can call out of the blue and make fart jokes or talk about nothing in particular but most often you'll find that having purpose-built acquaintances is all you really need and you'll quickly see which ones you could potentially upgrade to something more. Good luck.

This clueless Foil character is great - not only funny but he also brings a great angle to look at this relatable topic from. The other two characters were fun too. So tame. With a nice punch line, he he.

Still laughing from Wednesday night’s show in brisbane lads. Terrific live performance, hardest I’d laughed since Brisbane’s inception 15 minutes earlier.

You hit your 30s and you've met everyone who's going to be at your funeral 😄 Swing dancers, easy mistake 🤭 Your Brissie opening night was fantastic! Thrilled to catch you guys, absolute riot.

That's so true! And that's why the friendship between you three are so enviable for many people (especially for introverts like me)

Making new friends as an adult, especially a more introverted one is tough if not impossible… I gained some lovely long-term friends due to ‘joining’ the fandom of my then favourite band and I am so grateful. Although the band doesn’t exist any more, I still have my friends.

It really is hard to make friends as an adult...especially when you move to a different country. 😅 But thanks to FAH for making it a bit easier, meeting nice like minded people at gigs and on Patreon!

Funnily enough this couldn't be better timing as I was having this conversation about making friends in your adulthood, although maybe not exactly as Foil turned out 😅 I love this sketch idea

As an autistic adult, I learned VERY quick that “do you wanna be friends?” doesn’t cut it anymore. My best bet has been the local karaoke circuit. Tons of nice people, usually drunk as hell but seeing as I don’t drink it’s fine and I save my money by just getting free water. Great for friends! Unfortunately the only people so far who’ve taken a romantic interest in me have been divorced men, which is weird because I’ve never been in a relationship before and I’m not comfortable with that difference in experience.

Ugh, lads. You're the best. I can totally see why people keep coming back over and over again to your shows. Having the time of my life thanks to you!!! (and my new best friends who I love dearly but this comment is for you so they can suck it up and wait their turn). Thank you so much for coming 🥺 And for working so hard!!! 👏 And for staying to say hi ❤️ And for bringing the mouth trumpet 🤩 And for bringing Hog's hips 😆 And for bringing more batteries for your massager thing 😂😂😂 Now please excuse me while I pretend to go on strike from engagement driving because you didn't post a NZ immigration 😤

I would unironically love to be friends with such a wholesome and innocent fella. Start an app called Just Jolly Nice and Normal Non Sex Friend Findr

An accurate depiction of adult asexual struggles. "Would you like to be friends? What kind of benefits? Ah that kind. You'd like... right then. Carry on. Good luck with that."

No it’s EASY!! Just follow Foil Arms & Hog and you end up developing deep friendships with some of the most amazing people in the world! (As I said to you last week, it’s part of why meeting you was so wonderful - not only for your own sakes (which was huge in itself!), but also the connection to these other incredibly special people 💖)

I met some of my friends at a pub quiz, so far I've been safe from the "and more". Awesome sketch once again guys, you make my Thursday mornings great

Holy shit, McKenna's face when he heard about the "swing dance club" is killing me 🤣🤣🤣 P.S. I'm so glad you used the Brisbane outro, it was awesome being there when you filmed it!

I don't know, even as kids making friends can be hard. I offered to share my snack with a boy at primary school once and he said we now had to get married?!

Very good sketch about finding friends in adult age. I'm really bad at socialising, being an introvert, so it is comforting to see that also extros have issues in this world they so clearly own. And you guys were so amazing in Melbourne, thanks for the brilliant show, my face hurt so bad the next day!

Ohh poor Foil 😂 I feel this though. I actually tried a friend finding app once when I was new in the city, only to have them ghost me after saying they’d meet me at a train museum. Who ghosts someone at a museum?! 🤔 The trains were cool though XD

See, I always look for people to go hill walking with...or walking...or hiking...i literally just want to go for a walk and have a nice chat, nothing else!! How can that be so difficult? I feel you Foil😅

Foil should join Gig Buddies - it's a brilliant befriending project that pairs up adults with and without learning disabilities and/or autism who have similar interests, so they can go to gigs and other social activities together.

Watching that for the 2nd time and I just got the "healthy appetite for fruit and veggie" and it just killed me. I can be so innocent sometimes, just like Foil. 😂😂😂😂

Bit of a sitcom vibe to this one lads, in a good way. So true too. Kids don't even need to know each others names to be friends! And the ending... 🤭

"He died!" "He's dead?!" "Well, no, he has kids..!" Genius! Best line in the whole thing - apart from the last one, of course!

This is brilliant, lads! Sad truths made funny through the magic of FAH! So, Foil's innocent character is a nutritionist... does he work for Urban Malnutrition Management, by any chance?

Great sketch! I was in the same situation, but you guys inspired me to start doing improv. Great way to make new friends as an adult. Life is insane now. Also had our first show for friends and family last friday. Was awesome!

Meanwhile there's someone very disappointed at the Fun, Friendship and Maybe Hillwalking App

This hit so close right from the title that I feel more like crying than laughing. As an adult introvert who spends most of their time at work and the rest at home, with no energy left for social hobbies, it really is so hard to form genuine connections with people that don't also happen to live on the other side of the world 😭

Life was so much easier when we were seven! It's so tempting to tell children, "you think this is bad - life gets much worse than this"! 🤣🤣 Lovely sketch, lads.

Showed this to my friend and she said you missed the opportunity to have the final line reveal that this guy just sat down at a table with two guys he didn't know and they were too awkward to chase him off again.

As entertaining as this is, I find it more heartbreaking than funny. Oh, the pathos. Too much rings true; if not in detail but sentiment. Good comedy reflects both the tragedy and farce of life. Well done, lads.

I did see that coming 😂🤣 The best way to make friends as an adult is to join the FAH community. Their Patreon, social media groups and live shows are great places to meet brilliant people!

Why doesn't he join the FAH cult? Oh wait, Foil doesn't remember sketches. It will be of no help.. 🤣 Hey Foil, what's yellow Derek? 🤣🤣

Making friends at any age is so hard but I feel like as an adult it’s so much harder. Just so awkward 😂😂 Such a great sketch lads and hope you’re enjoying Australia!! 😊😁

I was thinking exactly this before going to one of your shows solo (couldn’t find anyone to go with me) and met some really lovely friends at waiting in line at your gig! 😅 YOU have made it a lot easier for me to make friends!

Ah brilliant 😂 Now I know what not to do. That's one step closer to making new friends, I guess. This is so relatable and still so funny. Have a wonderful day and good luck for your upcoming shows.

I'll be this guy's friend if he introduces me to some of the ladies he's met. As a gesture of friendship, of course.

I was there at that Brisbane show - you guys are SO amazing at your live performances! Thank you!

Arms' facial expressions throughout the whole video are absolutely brilliant! 😂😂 In all seriousness though, I agree with Foil that making friends is bloody hard!

This also perfectly describes navigating the world as an asexual and/or aromantic person. I just wanna have friends, dangit!

I am really bad at socialising, being an introvert, so it is comforting to see that also extros have issues in this world they so clearly own 😂 although I am pretty sure a few men would enjoy going on Foil's adventures! Thanks for the sketch lads.

I love this. This is me now. Suddenly after 30 I realize I can't create new friendships which used to happen so randomly before.

Foil’s character gives asexual vibes... maybe with a touch of neuro-divergence... Great sketch, very funny!

I'll be your friend, Foil! With no "and something more". We can play Playstation together fully dressed. 😹👍

Ah... too cute, too funny and too tragic... Well-observed reality, lads 👌

If this guy likes animals, there are these people out there called "furries" that he might want to meet up with. I'm not too sure on the details, but I think it's a club that likes cats and dogs. Anyway, what's the worst that could happen?

This is super relevant for men who often have few close friends or none. And for women as well finding someone who genuinely wants more friends is hard

As you may have figured out after meeting some of us at your Aussie shows, one way to make friends as an adult is to find all the other foil arms and hog fans in your general vicinity (aka 2000km radius)

I'm here to watch comedy and be entertained, not to get salt rubbed in my wounds. Nice sketch, thanks! 😊

He needs to volunteer with his nearest parkrun! 😆 A marshal who can project his voice would be most welcome and he’d be very popular

Ha! Can I be this character's friend? Going purely on the basis that we're both willing to ask the question "will you be my friend?" 😂 this is spot on and also hilarious lads!

There has been a study done either showing or suggesting that the easiest way to make friends is to first spend regular, positive time with a group. They can’t run away! LOL But this explains why it was so much easier making friends in school and college. Everyone is being too exploited by their jobs to have time for special interest clubs now.

Arms has a perfect sad stare at 3:09. Also I watched the video assuming he was married to Hog, which enhances the "think I wish I was single" punchline.

As someone who’s just hit 30, this is especially hilarious! 😂

Thanks a lot for having the Swines stream last week!! It was such an amazing experience to watch it along with you all and others in the chat! 😍😍 Would you consider doing something like that again, a Patreon watch party when you have some free time after touring maybe? 🙂 And the Q&A was great too! You answered about 65 questions and a couple of more funny responses to a few more questions/comments! That's a lot of questions for 70 minutes! 😃 Thanks again for everything!

I'm 47, single and the online stuff is 100% true. Feel free to ask for advice, I could write a book

"He died." "What?!" "Well...he's got kids." As a 30-something watching this while keeping a (CLOSE) eye on her seven-month-old playing on the floor...I felt that 😂 (or should that be 😢?)

Foil and the lonely housewife in her dressing gown playing PlayStation 😂 sounds like a great 3 hours! Poor Foil, the world is hard to navigate.

Very good sketch about finding friends in adult age. It's difficult, but I think not impossible, it was always hard for me because I'm an introvert. Foil's character was so much fun to watch, so innocent! 😊❤

PROST!!!! (Saying Prost reminds me of a cute little video I received last week, in which a Non-German speaking person is trying her best to get a difficult German sentence recorded. The Irish sketch comedian next to her, who actually does speak some German, was a great help by messing it up with the ONE word he had to say. 🤷🏻‍♀️😜😂)

Thank you for the giggles on Thursday morning! So, who is the most naive/innocentminded of you three?

ah the aromantic asexual mood...

Hey, I brought my swing-dancing friend to the first two Melbourne shows!

Funnily enough, I recently invited my coworker to watch a film at mine. She asked what kind, and since I don’t like films that are clearly meant for kids, I just told her “I dunno, a proper adult one.” Her choice ended up being utter crap though - it was just two women having sex constantly. No idea how it was supposed to convince me about the warmth of the colour blue.

Saw you guys live in Brisbane a couple of nights ago, the show was excellent...even better than I expected. You guys are seriously talented.

'Since you guys got married' - my brain automatically interpreted that as 'to each other' and I spit out my tea! 'It's like they hit their 30s and they decided they've met everyone that's gonna be at their funeral' - priceless!!

Very relatable! I was still single in my 30s and new friends seemed so hard to come by. But I guess if you learn the right strategy (like, e.g., taking a class on something you really like), you can make friends even in your senior years. Great video, as usual!

Actually... Would you like to be my friend? No seriously. All I want to talk about is this amazing Irish comedy trio...

Foil, i also can't understand why its impossible to make friends with People, who wear blue, or eat the same buiscuits😅People always want more and more 😂 thank's, FAH, its so funny and true - life.

Watching your sketch is just the motivation boost I need for the day. Thank you! 🙌 And poor Foilee...so naive 😂

Foil is too innocent for this society 😅.Great video guys.

After the "kill, kill..." I am a bit afraid of how Hogwash has evolved over the past months... xD

I'm so invested in this story!! Even though it's a little bit hard to focus today ;-)

As an asexual, this is a whole (not) fucking mood

"He died?" "No, he's got kids" .....I DIED😂

Hog playing a straight character always makes me laugh but I did love Foil's innocence. Also hope to see the doom dah from last Thursday night in Melbourne at some stage...

But has he tried kicking a ball into the neighbour's garden and then asking them to throw it back and come kick it?

I don't believe this is a sketch. It is just an usual hangout and they happened to leave the camera on.

I love that, as funny as this is, the heaping dose of frustrating reality is what sells it

Well what else does Foil expect people will assume, when he looks this good??

"It's like they hit their 30s and they decided they've met everyone that's going to be at their funeral" It's so true it's sad :)
