WATCH: Everyone will be able to relate to this comedy sketch about a Leaving Cert nightmare

Alan Loughnane

Oh dear God, the memories…

Leaving Cert nightmares. It’s a very real condition with approximately 98% of Ireland’s population suffering from them at some stage in their lives.*

*Alternative fact.

When it rolls around to the end of May/start of June, you can be guaranteed with all the talk of the Leaving Cert, some horrible memories will be dragged up by your subconscious.

If you don’t believe us, take a scroll on Boards.ie, and you’ll soon discover that Leaving Cert nightmares are more common than you think.

One user states: “Every so often I jolt upright in my bed, in an eyes-wide-open sweat, scared, inside screaming THERE ISN’T ENOUGH TIME LEFT TO LEARN THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.

“And the relief after when it hits me that I’m **** nearly ten years clear.”

Foil Arms and Hog seem to know a thing or two about them as well, as their latest sketch shows. As usual, they’ve hit the nail on the head.

Thankfully, after a few moments of blind panic, it settles that the Leaving Cert is but a small exam in your life in the grand scheme of things. Plenty of people didn’t achieve the grade they wanted but still ended up with their chosen career.

In other words, anyone with the Leaving Cert coming up, our message to you is; You’ll be grand.
