Surviving Long Car Rides with Your Parents 

I don’t know what’s more impressive: Barry wearing a seatbelt on the backseat or the fact that he’s not asking “Are we there yet?” every 3 minutes. 😂

It’s a real pleasure to see Oisin (and Barry) committing to their academic success, and wearing their uniforms on holiday.

"where's Barry?" I almost cried at this one. My brother and I got left at a gas station once and my parents were 10 miles down the road before they realized that half their children were missing. I always asked my father afterwards "how did he not notice the noise level in the backseat dropped by 50%." Of course my other brothers response for not saying anything is because they had more room!

I missed Anne, Oisín and Barry! 😄 This whole sketch was so relatable. The 'in a rush' to get to a destination but the constant getting out. Foil and Arms do a great job of appearing younger for these characters- the mannerisms, body posture, all of it. And Hog embodying an older person.

Don't worry about the key Anne I'm sure Barry can open any lock for you.

Miracle of childbirth… This talk is way too late at Oisín’s age, Anne! xD "What’s a dominatrix?" Trust Barry to wake at the right time and ask the right questions… xD I hope you found him and had a lovely holiday!

So much fun in this sketch, I love this family and their "adopted" son 😅 Anne cursing like a trooper is epic 😂😂

I love the Flanagan family! And I love that Barry is always there with them😂Anne is such a great mother for allowing oisin to bring his friend

As a German seeing Oisín on the phone scared me for a bit until I realized Oh they drive on that side of the road

Fahntastic Statistic We have never had to wait this long for new Anne and Oisín material before. The time between 'Going for dinner with your parents' and today's sketch is 224 days, while the average time between Anne and Oisín sketches is 78 days.

I love these sketches, not just for the impeccable humour and the acting, but because they capture perfectly the absurdities of both the 'young' and the 'old' at once, not making it one-sided. I can relate to both Anne's and Oisin's exasperation with the other, and that's pretty cool.

Oisin doesn't appreciate having such a concerned and loving mom. Next time, he can stay home and I'll take a cross-country road trip with Anne and we'll stop at every church and stained glass window we can find.

1:10 - we see you giggling, Barry! 😂💙

My parents absolutely brought up uncomfortable subjects in the car when I couldn't escape, except for me it was "Name all the courses you are planning to take at university and how you expect they will influence your choice of career". Not sure which is worse.

Ahaha I've MISSED this trio!!! Only thing missing is the radio cutting out so having to listen to whatever cassette or cd Anne has lying around. Our family trips were filled with Gilbert and Sullivan, Cats or Les Mis😂

“Yeah . . . Obviously”, made me laugh out loud in an airport lounge.

Anne can never catch a break can she 😂

I might sound like a broken record, but as you sit there in Dublin, hopefully well over your mammoth trip home, I just want to say what an absolute joy it was to meet you all and to thank you (once again!) for coming to these wee rocks on the other side of the world. The shows & our times together will remain very treasured memories, and hopefully more can be made in the not toooooo distant future ~ Charlotte 🌸

Aaaah what a riot! 🤣 When Ann suggested the detour at the church, I almost fell over laughing. And when Barry woke up right as he heard the word 'penis', I actually did fall over laughing.

I love how Oisín and Barry still wear their school shirts and ties on holidays 😆

These need to be full episodes. These are up there with Father Ted for quality. Wonderful stuff.

RIP to the penguins of the petrol stations where Barry was left.. 🤣

When Barry woke up and said “Are you talking about sex?” from the back seat, hot tea nearly came out my nose. Well done, lads. I also like how Mrs. Flanagan calls Barry a child going to the toilet-aren’t he and Oisin doing their GCSEs by now?

“I’m going the way I know” struck a nerve well done lads

Love the fact barry is just……..there

Lads, the last few sketches are the best of the best! 😂😂😂 And Arms' legs are so long, it looks like he is sitting in a child seat when he is sitting in the back seat! 😂😂 Also love how Arms thought he could hide that laughing when they talked about vomiting😁

The continuity with previous episodes is exceptional

My granny used to say "Ariana, you'll miss these drives when I'm gone" and she was right. She used to take me on drives every Saturday, we'd have a picnic or grab some fish and chips. 😂 She wasn't Irish though, she was Kenyan. A Catholic Kenyan though, we stopped at many a church to look at their stained glass windows back in the day. 😂❤😂

Arms breaking the character at 1:09 is just priceless 😂

31 sketches later…worth the wait, lads 😂😂😂 Agree with Oisin about “stop saying vomit!!” 😅

"What's a dominatrix?" That's brilliant, great writing, laughed my ass off xD

Foil was near breaking character when Arms sprayed the cola in the car. You can barely see it but it’s in the corner of his mouth. Must have been quite unplanned. I am delighted to meet Ann, Oisín and Barry again. Love you guys!

I love how Foil makes himself look shorter than Hog, even though he is taller! That's commitment to the character!!

The keys bit was great. I actually had that happen when I was in Oisins position. Our mother had completely forgotten about the keys until we were 20 minutes away from our destination on a 4 hour drive. Luckily a friend of the caravan owner who was already there had a spare key so we were saved, but that could have been a lot worse

The miracle of childbirth! You guys did it again!! Another HILARIOUS skit!!!!

I liked how Barry suddenly turns his head towards the window, because he was going to burst laughing (when Oisin was feeling sick)😊😊😊

I love this scetch. It was very relatable. It has been a long week and this is exactly what I needed.

I had a horrible case of motion sickness as a kid. Strangely, it never affected me while in the air or at sea, but on roads - yes. Trying to get to my nana's (1.5h drive tops) turned into a 3h 'adventure'. Nothing helped until one day, in my late teens, it just went away. So I feel you, Oisin.

1:08 couldn't hold back that smirk there 😂

Welcome back Anne we’ve missed you!! Woke up my household at 3 am laughing. Arms your poor legs in the back seat!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ann has to drive through the route she knows best, even if it takes 7 hours more, the road is more potholes than road, and will get lost at least twice while insisting she's on the correct route. How do I know? Ann is my dad.😂

We need the outakes to this, pleeease! 😂 Arms proving he's mostly Legs again, squished in the back 😆 Poor Oisìn, nowhere to go, and Barry at the rescue

Amazing how all three of them almost started laughing when Arms spit the soda but managed to keep it together and stay focused not to spoil the gag xD

Poor Barry still needing a bit more fibre in his diet then 😅 This was a nice little treat to watch before I have to go back out and join the Easter traffic for the next three hours 😬

I for sure thought that Barry missing meant that he had already found a way inside the holiday home 😆

"What's a dominatrix?" I swear to God I nearly died, ye're SO funny lads!😂😂😂😂

So on point😂. And that's why I as a mother of two teenagers take the train for long journeys. So I can be at my phone too or read a book 😂

This was hilarious! SO many funny lines, culminating in Anne having a bit of a meltdown there :D. Love it! Thank you so much!

I want the alternative version where Anne knows what a Dominatrix is and is not afraid to explain😂

Welcome back Flanagan Family! My favorite skits ever! Whenever I’m feeling stressed or down I binge watch Anne, Oician (not sure if I spelled that right) and Barry & I still laugh so hard I’m crying. Love u guys. ❤😊

Love how Anne lost it at the end xD

The dreaded trip to Dunbooey! Stopping at the garden centre, the boys ignoring the scenery, spilled pop all over the car, Anne trying to give her son "The Talk" when he can't run away, and finally discovering the loss of keys and guest - so many cleverly acted, funny moments! 😆 Anne answering comments here and on FB is a nice touch too. ❤

I absolutely love that you upload these early in the morning, it's such a good start to each Thursday (which is the second worst of all the days, scientifically).

Oisin finally gets the birds and the bees talk! How Anne imagines she'll meet her grandchild: "When a young lady turns up at my door with a babe in her arms.." 🤣 Maybe the mother will be Oisin's tird cousin..."it's a small island nation" 😅

"Now, there's something I'd like to talk with you about..." oof XD

Well done for keeping a straight face here! 😂 Looking forward to the blooper reel. 🤣

Perfect! Love the references to earlier sketches about this family. Also love how this comes out the week after I've done a fair bit of driving myself - sadly without any funny company, but Miri will be here soon. Greetings from Dingle! 🌊💚

I am incredibly impressed with Mrs Flanagan's self-control in NOT going on a rant about putting phones away when she finishes talking about the scenery and sees Barry and Oisin glued to their phones! True sacrifice, indeed.

love when arms breaks as barry! that break at ''would you stop saying vomit?''

Great as always guys! The Flanagan family is the best! Would have loved to see it ending with Barry stranded at the gas station 😂

OMG!!! I think RU-vid recommendations are spot on. I am so happy that I found you guys. I love your stuff. And this mom with kids sketches are sooooooo cute. I love the way you act. ❤❤❤❤

Look, Oisín is wearing a Foil Arms and Hog hoodie! He’s a fan, too, good man! 😍😍 Wonder what Anne thinks about that

Great sketch. I absolutely love the shared doomdah at the end of your live shows. Love seeing you do so well x

Gives me flashbacks of when I was younger and we took a "10 minute detour" in the Austrian Alps to save on a £20 motorway fee. It somehow ended up adding 8 hours to the journey as we got lost in the Austrian alps.

This is so wonderful! Thank you for another great sketch! These familiy skits are my favorites!

Ah brilliant 😂 my favorite mother, son and neighbor trio. There no longer seem to be German subtitles for your videos. I'd love to add them if that's possible. Have a wonderful day!

"I'm going the way I know how" hit home.

certainly your best series of sketches! amazing characters! thank you ❤❤❤

Oh, Oisín. A friend of mine recently gave me exactly that advice about tackling difficult subjects in the car with your teens so they can't get away. Wonder if she got it from her Irish mother-in-law... At least he doesn't have to listen to the cricket, soundtrack to endless childhood long drives for me. Or worse, the Archers Omnibus. (For those not familiar, it's a soap opera. On the radio. About farming. A uniquely British childhood misery, one suspects.) And not to get too "in my day..." but at least he has a phone for entertainment!

I definitely think Barry has a crush on Mrs Flanagan. It’s so sweet. ❤ If Osin every found out he would be traumatised. 😂

I love Anne, Oisín, and Barry sketches sooo much❣️ Thank you ❣️

Barry is just storming his way into the lads,lads,lads club.. 🤣 total legend!!!

😂😂I was rolling! I loved it! Anne kills me every time, and poor Oisin is always so funny being tortured by her. The almost throwing up part was hilarious! Great sketch!❤

Barry sleeping in the back in the most uncomfortable position is me 5 minutes into any drive. 10 min or 10 hours. Brilliant lads!

GREAT JOB not breaking character at the cola spill!! you guys are true professionals!

Loved that 😂 So happy to see Anne, Oisin and of course Barry ! Wouldn’t mind going for a long drive with those three

This is absolutely amazing lads! Great job 😂 I'm pretty sure this is a sequel to "staycation with your parents"

Maybe I'm getting old, but I would be all for going to see that stained glass window in the church. Love taking chill road trips and just stopping at a few places to relax. Went on a long car ride to cabin for vacation a few years back, and stopped to see a few old churches, a couple of restaurants and cafes, and filmed about 30+ pretty mountains, waterfalls and other views.

The driving side is flipped here, so I was VERY concerned for them when Oisin pulled out his phone in the "driver's" side!

My Canadian heart nearly stopped when I saw Oisin on his phone in the 'driver's seat'!

Barry always gives me a good laugh 😄 nice work spraying the cola everywhere And that exchange about never getting a speeding ticket 😂 love Anne and Oisín

It's an awfully long trip to Dunbooey. Thanks for the belly laughs and thanks for doing Dunbooey part 2.

As an American, I gasped at 0:20 when he had both hands on his phone, forgetting that the driver’s seat is on the opposite side in Ireland! 😂

I appreciate that the speed referenced is 5km/h under the most common speed limit 😄

Brilliant! Especially the church visit - and the scenery while they're glued to their phones! 😂😂😂

Birds and bees talk while driving- that's another level of masochist 😂😂😂

This sketch had me laughing out loud the whole way 😂 now blessed to appreciate this sketch from the parent perspective ❤

This skit literally introduced me to the word "dominatrix". Well, you learn something every day.

I literally adore Mrs Flanagan Oisin and Barry too!!!! Thank you for this new video!! I was waiting for it so much 😂😂😂💓

I frcking love you guys. Don't you dare to ever stop this! I need my dose...

my mom would like you to stop spying on her and using her as sketch fodder, please. 😂😂 Love these!!

Classic! Looks like an epic road trip. Some hardcore ‘keeping it together’ action on display there too! Also, anyone noticed that you never meet a baby called Barry, you only meet a Barry when they are fully grown? Reckon that must be an incontrovertible fact!

OH ty, ty, ty for the Anne, Oisin and barry video! They are my favorite characters! What a great way to start my day. Please do more videos of them!!

"Where's Barry?" Yeah, that happened to me once - I went to the toilet, and by the time I was back, my dad had gone home. When my mum asked him where I was, he apparently replied "he's gone up to his room hasn't he?". I had not, in fact, gone up to my room. He had to go fetch me back from the petrol station once he remembered he'd been there that day... twenty minutes later. I was fine, by the way - the nice fella at the station gave me an ice cream and kept telling me my dad was probably on his way back, but I knew I was in for a long wait because he'd only realize I wasn't in the back once mum asked him where I was. XD

Barry says so much without words 😂

I guess that there was "very little thinking behind" the choice of Ann's and Oisin's theme music back in the day, but it surely was a brilliant choice! It has its own little dramatic arches, and you always build them so well into the scenes 😍👌😂

Barry's still at the petrol station trying to choose which Magnum to get...

Oisín is back Return of the King

So good. Love that relationship that Barry is developing with Anne xx

😲 How could they forget Barry and leave him behind? Poor lad! Or did Anne do it on purpose after he asked her what a dominatrix is? 😂😂
