WATCH: Foil Arms and Hog’s latest sketch brilliantly sums up every Irish family at Christmas

Conor Heneghan

“You’re some eejit if you think you can swap a Double Decker for a Curly Wurly, Darren.”

With just three days to go until Christmas Day, families all over Ireland are looking forward to the rare opportunity to spend some blissful time together in each other’s company.

Of course, it only takes a few hours before cabin fever and the effects of the food and alcohol consumed on the day take hold and something approaching anarchy descends on the house.

Feuds over food, the TV and lingering resentment over years that’s suddenly brought out into the open are all addressed in this festive and customarily excellent offering from Foil Arms and Hog.

You might cry at the familiarity of it all, but you’ll definitely laugh too.
