FAHn Quizzes & Games

Game: Meme FAH!
To understand the appeal of this game, you'll need to be aware of three influencing factors:
 * 1) FAH (Arms) sets up the scheduled sketch premiere post on the FAH Facebook page on Wednesday evening, so it automatically starts playing at exactly 8 am Irish time on Thursday morning (he does the same on YouTube of course but there it doesn't show as a post). A premiere post looks like a thumbnail, and whereas they used to just leave it to Facebook to pick the middle still frame from the video, in recent times they've started uploading a specially photoshopped thumbnail with a doctored (erased and recoloured) background and the main character of the sketch in a funny position. It's turned into more of a teaser than a thumb, really.
 * 2) Because Hog is a bit of a procrastinator (and a night owl), and doing subs can be quite tricky, these premiere posts usually only turn up after midnight Irish time. Not always though, they've been known to turn up uncharacteristically early!
 * 3) We have FAHns in different time zones who have a LOT of time to kill (and excitement to channel) while the rest of the FAHndom gets to sleep through the waiting time between the premiere post and the actual premiere. So what are THEY gonna do?

Well, a couple of those FAHns (check out @TA_fahn on Twitter and take it from there), decided to start a new game! Their M.O. is to download the premiere thumbnail, add some speech bubbles for the characters pictured, and start thinking up silly (and naughty!) things for them to say. It all started with the premiere thumbnail of the much anticipated Gerald sketch, The Home Gym Instructor, on Twitter.

Browsing these memes gives you an excellent insight into what goes on in the FAHndom in terms of running jokes. This collection of #memeFAH (of course there's a fitting hashtag, what did you think?) is a fantastic resource for any FAHn who wishes to get an update about what the FAHndom vibe-of-the-week was at different times. A FAH(n)rchive of our own!

So enjoy browsing! Add your own entries by clicking the blue button, but don't forget to name your image before uploading (suggestion: MemeFAH_nameofsketch_yourusername.jpg ). If you've seen a response by FAH on any of the entries - these can be on Twitter or on Facebook in the premiere post comment thread - feel free to add that too! Ask me for help if you need it.

Quiz: Name That Sketch!
A long-running FAHndom community event from the lockdown era (May 2020), originally created by @for.the.love.of.fah (Instagram) and later on hosted in collaboration with I-tje on Twitter as a semi-regularly Weekend activity (find the tweets using the hashtag #namethatsketch).

Even FAHnArtists and FAHnVidders well-versed in sketch quotes and scenes struggled with some of these! That's why our quizmaster duo have kindly sorted their entries into three categories. Start with the first category (also known as Foil's Level) for a gentle warm-up, especially if you're a new FAHn and/or new to this quiz format.

The image files are unnamed to prevent giving anything away. Each image relinks to the YouTube sketch on the FAH channel, so only click if you would like to see the answer!

Easy
Even Foil got a couple of these!

Intermediate
Most FAHns need a couple of minutes and a hint or two...

Advanced
You won't get anything else done today.

Impossible
These stumped the entire FAHndom!

Quiz: Minimalist Posters
I (helsteendje on IG) got inspired by well-known minimalist movie posters and wanted to give a couple of FAH sketches the minimalist treatment. Possessing only limited drawing skills (it's all down to practice I'm sure), I figured out the basics of Adobe Illustrator and created a set of posters, having people guess which ones they represented. Most were easy enough, a couple proved a bit harder! Can you tell which sketch these posters are about? Click the pics to watch the sketch on YouTube!
