FAHn Tweets & Threads

#FAHwatchparty & #FAHonShuffle
During lockdown, a small bubble of FAHns started organising watch parties on Twitter (aka tweetathons). We binged our way through all 5 live show streams and then started on the FAH YouTube playlists.

They go on to this day... tag watch room owner @Heleendje in a tweet or drop her a DM to find out how you can join! Click the gif to get more in-depth detail about the parties and browse through the best tweets!

#RuinASketchTitle
Thread started by @Heleendje

Inspired by the trending hashtags #ruinabandnamewithoneletter and #ruinamoviewithoneword, this game is a lot of fun if you're in a silly mood. Turns out, it's surprisingly easy to mess with FAH sketch titles! Many sketches have already been "done", but I'd like to encourage anyone to add their own. Warning: some suggestions are a bit... dirty!

#GIFAHreplies and sketch conversations
Thread started by @ThePirateHobbit

Originally conceived as a challenge to only "speak" in GIFS from her collection (1800 items at that point!) for an entire day, other FAHns quickly joined in the fun and helped the conversation get into a nice flow. You can watch a FAHnvid version of this conversation and judge by yourself if they succeeded.

Whether you want to use GIFs (you can upload them here but please credit the giffer!) or just type out your quotes, hop over to this page and practice your sketch conversation skills!

The FAH quote challenge
Thread started by @Heleendje

FAHns were asked to quote their top favourite line from any FAH YouTube sketch - but ONLY the line, not the sketch title! Heleendje wanted to see if she could guess which sketch each of them belonged to.

Want to try this yourself? We've collected all the challenges and the correct answers on this page. You need to scroll the table sideways to reveal the answer, so you can still do your own little guessing game. Got it wrong? Well... time to rewatch those sketches! Lucky for you, Zabine has provided a helpful FAH quote brain training guide!

How to work a quote into every conversation (by @Zabine12)
Step 1: Prepare by watching FAH videos on repeat for .... a long time. This ensures that FAH quotes become irreversibly embedded in your brain.

Step 2: Find a suitable situation (normal or unusual, both will work!). Step 3: Practice sketch quoting. Step 4: Evaluate reactions.
 * 2.A: if the situation closely matches a FAH sketch, proceed to Step 3A.
 * 2.B: for any other situation, proceed to Step 3B.
 * Step 3.A: Quote the matching FAH line.
 * Step 3.B: Employ the skills of simple word association or tone association. Say the line that comes to mind first or scroll through the several that came to mind and pick the line of best fit. Feel free to slightly adapt the line to fit the situation.
 * 4.A: FAHns will be very pleased, wildly appreciative, or join in with a line of their own!
 * 4.B: Non-FAHns will be confused and think you have gone slightly insane. Don't let it bother you!

We were absolutely delighted that Foil decided to join in... by accidentally misquoting his favourite line! Can you correct Foil's mistake and connect the quote to the sketch? Foil later admitted that he doesn't remember even being in some sketches. Poor lad... but after all, they write and film their YouTube skits in a couple of days' time!

#FAHphotoshopped
FAHnartist Danish Turtle launched a new weekly community event on Twitter at the end of 2020. Join her every Saturday during 2021 with your Photoshopped FAH pics. You can use any picture doctoring app of course and any skill level is welcome to give it a go! We've already noticed FAH (Foil most likely) are hitting "like" on one entry a week, so if you're looking for some FAHppreciation of your FAHn work, this is the place to go!

#FAHhaikus
Thread started by @Heleendje

Haiku is a type of short form poetry in a 5 - 7 - 5 syllable pattern originally from Japan.

FAHhaiku is a haiku about a Foil Arms and Hog sketch. Simple enough right? Grab your poetic pens and write your own.

#FAHconfessions
Thread started by @Heleendje

Sometimes you misunderstand the Irish-isms or you completely miss a reference - or even the punchline! - in a sketch. Feel the need to bare your soul? The Confession booth is open and Father O'Flaherty will see you now! Check out this thread and/or search for the hashtag #FAHconfessions on Twitter, and don't forget to add your own!

Bless me FAHther for I have sinned... 

#FAHntheory
Thread started by @tower_squirrel

We have a separate page on this Wiki, established quite early on, where all kinds of theories about FAH sketches are put forward for testing (check out The FAHrensic Science Lab to read more!). This thread revived it again, a year or so after the previous entry, and I'm delighted it has! As always, please search for and add the hashtag #FAHntheory to put forward your own! If you like, you can DM me to help you with editing the Lab page as well (it's pretty straightforward: think out of the box, hit EDIT, add a bullet point and type away, and hit PUBLISH!)

I put it to you!
