The real hero in this sketch is Foils hair - showing some serious range

Props to Arms for getting in costume to never be on screen, that takes commitment

“That’s for your safety sir.” “I’m beginning to see why.” Never heard something so accurate 😂

I see why they charge 600€, Hog works 24/7 and never loses composure! Truly an outstanding employee

That guy walking through at 0:33 really makes this sketch. Without him, it would be rubbish.

I love Foil's hairstyle matching his growing frustration!😂Brilliant sketch and so relatable!

Hog must be every employer's dream. He seemingly works 24/7 and even looks fresh as morning dew 😂

Now, I am going to guess that, being on tour as much as you are, a fair bit of this is from experience. Foil's exasperation was really well played!

Hog's wide eyed, blank stare with the straight smile got me everytime 🤣

I feel like this hotel did not earn those three stars in a completely legal way 😂😂

Love it when hog is trying not to smile

😂👏The receptionist barely holding back his enjoyment of repeatedly adding to the guest's building frustrations, is very well played by Hog! 👍😂

Our funniest hotel experience was my dad trying to convince the woman at reception that we had booked a room for that night Turns out my dad had managed to book a room on that date, but for the following year...

Oh oh! This reminds me of Sydney! They raised their prices and we're fully booked out because of you lads! When I decided to stay for the last gig, I tried to see if the hotel I was in had a room available last minute. They said "sorry we don't, Foil Arms and Hog are in town so.." I struggled to pick my jaw up off the floor and put the smile away haha

This is a compilation of all the problems you've encountered on tour, right? Love Foil's performance, he really smashes any sketch that needs a character being put through the wringer, and his hair really stole the sketch 😂😂

Foil’s distinct air of desperation grows in a mildly terrifying way …as does the realism of this sketch! Taylor Swift has a lot to answer for…!

I was not expecting the punchline to the Taylor Swift joke 😄. Great job as always

I had this exact experience at a hotel in once. Arrived and they had given away the suite I booked 2 months in advance AND prepaid for in full. After I realized they were going to be pricks about it, I called a lawyer right in front of the manager, on speaker phone. Magically, I was offered a free upgrade to a larger suite sweet at no additional charge. Apparently them not having any rooms available was just a simple misunderstanding by the front desk clerk.

You also forgot: "Why is the bill €875???" "Well, there's tax, city tax, occupancy tax, tourism improvement fee, convenience fee, and the fact that you ate a bag of crisps from the mini-bar."

This is absolutely brilliant. Loved every line, Foil's slow descend into madness while Hog keeps smiling, the renovation works 😂 If Foil is lucky, they will take his window out of the wall, that might fix the problem with the air conditioning. Have a wonderful day!

The evolution of Foil’s hair style. 😄😄

The pacing and writing for this episode where absolutely BRILLIANT... you conveyed so much in so little time ... it felt like watching a movie!!!

This drips with the personal pain of three men who've spent their adult lives on tour. So anyway enjoy Canada 😉

As a receptionist this is so relatable

Foil is brilliant at this kind of frustated distressed acting. And Hog is so good with the light smile look while playing an arse character 😂😂

As someone who has stayed in hotels more than the average person, the accuracy of this made me laugh so much. Thank you!

I still get excited about staying in hotels. But that's probably because I don't go on holiday that much! Foil's increasing frustration is always funny to watch! Brilliant sketch as always!

The fact that this sketch increases my blood pressure and heart rate dramatically as it goes on shows just how perfectly it is executed.

You missed "This is our newest non-smoking room" which translates to "We were throwing away the ashtrays, airing the place out out and spraying Febreze on the bed moments before you arrived." Also, they must've gotten some great reviews before the construction started for it to average out to three stars now.

Foil was getting really murderous! Those expressions, really felt for the guy.

Who needs therapy when you can just work through all your trauma through the medium of sketch comedy 😂I think we might need a support group after watching this sketch...

Can we just appreciate the hotel employee who has to deal with all this * from the management, stays polite all the time, and is on the job 24 hours a day!

"Sorry eh, where's the pool?" - word play [hotel/bar/life] has broken me. 😂😂 Was expecting a cue, etc.

In a hotel right now. And trying to get a reasonably priced hotel room for a Taylor Swift concert was just like this.

All the infuriating annoyances in one sketch - well done chaps!

The running Taylor Swift concert joke killed me 😂 also thought Foil was going to complain about his window being removed, but I guess that’s not too common of an occurrence to include 😂. Well done as always 👏🏻👏🏻

Foil finally getting out all the hotel-rage he built up over the years. It's one bed. It sleeps two. It's one aaargghh. Good thing the window doesn't open wide enough for him or the receptionist. Don't mess with Foil!

I have never been so angry for a sketch. I love you guys.

OMG THE HAIR 🔥🔥🔥 Foil is dethroning Arms in this sketch..

Oh my goodness, someone else feels this too! My family and I stayed in three different cities in Nevada at the end of June (3 different hotel chains) and encountered almost every single one of these problems! First hotel didn’t have the correct rooms we booked. We too were shorted a bed! The shower was burning hot, the pool was closed (not listed on site). The breakfast was served from 6:30-9:00 but had nothing left at 8:30 and they didn’t restock. Second hotel was great. We were spoiled. Only real issue was the fact that none of the doors shut unless you slammed them. Forcefully. The entire floor had to do this. It was jarring the first night for sure. Third hotel smelled awful and the “air conditioning” in one room was a huge industrial fan that just blew out gusts of air sporadically. It was loud and didn’t cool the room. One elevator was rickety and near took off a fellow travelers arm. The elevator to the parking garage had an out of order sign on it, but only in the parking garage… not from the hotel side. We didn’t know that until we were going back to our rooms after parking and saw it taped outside the elevator!! In one of the rooms we booked the bathroom flooded during the night and maintenance scolded the occupants for not jiggling the toilet handle correctly. The tiles were loose in our bathroom (if you weren’t careful, you could kick it away). The wifi went down and when trying to plug in my phone charger, the entire outlet came loose! These were not cheap hotels, either 😂 I feel quite triggered by this! 😅

The "good hair" deterioration, the whisper of "Taylor"....too many details to list that make this skit a relatable and hilarious example of life experience. The math adds up. Brilliant as always! xoxoxo

While it was all terrible, the fire alarms and air conditioner sound like the worst to experience. No sleep! Also, enjoyed that Hog looked close to breaking half of the sketch :D

This is so accurate. Once me and my friends wanted to book a room with 3 beds, but when we got to the hotel they said only the "deluxe" room was still available. That room had mice. When we made a complaint they said "We have released the cat". It did nothing...

I love that he’s just resisting the urge to smile

Foils hair! 😂 His hair has gone through a lot of emotions in this sketch.

"I got a blank space and I will write your name" - love that you finish with a Taylor Swift quote lads 👌

This encapsulates all the wonderful experiences spanning a lifetime. One of my favorite: Downtown Manhattan in January. Usual hotel was booked. This one was ‘open’, under process of rehab maybe, room about 10 feet wide. Freezing partly because snow blew through the cracks in the windows. Enjoyed the part of ducking in and out of the scaffolding around the place. Thanks for a laugh re: joys of travel and the mindless robotic/indifferent employees you encounter.

The hair and costume department worked very hard. Foil is looking stunning even when frustated to hell. ❤

Yep. If hotels didn't suck so often, Airbnb would've never been able to grow into the competitor that it is today.

That was great! I felt Foil's frustration in my bones! When he came down because of the air conditioner, I about died! I hate those hotel air conditioners! Great job frustrating Foil's character, Hog! Love that business center! 🤣

I’ve definitely had some of these things happen in hotels I’ve stayed at! Foil’s hair matching his increasingly frazzled mood, the bed confusion, Taylir Swift being to blame for every, and Hog’s eternal bland calmness made this almost funny.

Going for breakfast at 9:30 when you had a meeting very early? Should have taken that wakeup call.

This brings back some weird travel experiences/memories.....in hotels and on cruises....great sketch!

This is so true! I was suffering along with Foil. There's always something in the hotel that makes it not worth the price we pay!

These guys have so much talent. They deserve to be known everywhere. 🍀🍀🍀

"I'm beginning to see why" - briliant, best line hands down 😂😂

“I‘ve got a blank space and I’ll write your name!” - truly brilliant!

The desperation in foils voice was everything😂

Brilliant! I don't know what I like more, the annoyingly innocent expression on Hog's face, obviously on the verge of corpsing - or the reminders of FAHn travels including certain types of two bed rooms... (Hi Miri, I know you agree!)

Foil should have strangled Hog with the cable of that old telephone. 😂 I would have understood.

I like how the front desk person is always typing something. I really wonder what they are up to…

At first I thought it was a compilation of every Hotel sketch. Realised I haven't seen any of the segments. Realised it's not Monday. And happily realised it's a brand new one and not a video that I missed!

I was just wondering yesterday whether we might get frustrated Foil today. I mean, it'd been three whole weeks since you'd let the man do distress/frustration/despair, he must have been bursting at the seams. Hog's unfailingly helpful and polite receptionist was marvellous too, though I'd have a mind to complain that I always had the sense he was about to laugh at me... And not to forget you, Arms. That acting with high vis course was worth every cent of the €10,000.

I think I’ve encountered every one of those hotel irritations during my years on the road.

After so many years... this might have been your best sketch so far!

So, the hotel and the pool will be ready in Spring. Around the same time as your FAH album comes out?😂

This is why I almost always stay in hostels now. I'd rather pay 30€ for a dorm bed than 600€ for a private room that's often no better than said dorm.

I'd love to hear what Foil was saying under that bell! 😂 Brilliant sketch - I can feel your collective pain of travelling! The air-con, business ctr, & breakfast problems I understand very well!

Hog just smiling through Foil's rage 😂 I dunno if I would be smiling if I had to deal with that 😅

Absolutely spot on! I'm not sure it's actually possible to go to a hotel where all the facilities are open at the same time!

The ice machine outside the door got me… I’m so sensitive to noise and hotels are a sensory nightmare for me. No joy in it 😩😭😂

OMG, this is too accurate! I bet most of it comes from your experience touring. Splendid work, as always. Loved the appearance of you, Arms, as a construction worker in the background.

Love that Hog has took the Word Play Hotel uniform out of retirement 🎉😅 just travelling back from holiday ..so this is perfect lol 😅 thanks lads

1:51 When he said this, I was so worried the video was going to end with the reveal that the clerk had been getting the guest's name wrong the whole time, and they did, in fact, still have his reservation. So he was going to get charged for both rooms, and/or they'd charge him a cancellation fee for not cancelling the original reservation [insert absurd amount of time] in advance.

As an ex-roadie who spent her life in hotels I relate to this sketch so much! I hope the hotels in Montreal will treat you better than this. I will be there and I just can't wait to see your show. ❤

The accuracy of this sketch is on point

You forgot the evacuation drill when the personnel start banging at the doors and shouting that everyone must leave their room and gather in front of the hotel. You cannot use the elevator. Even if you are on the 15th floor. Usually happens during the winter. Every year. Always a joyful experience!

Traveled about 20 weeks a year for work before I retired. Spot on. You can add, "You advertised a hot breakfast, but there's only cereal, fruit, yogurts, and bagels?" "Yes sir, there is a toaster for the bagels."

Loved this. Foil and Hog played their parts to perfection. Arms why were you dressed up? Do we get to see outakes? Am sure it's based on a lot of your touring experiences (although no windows got removed in this one).

I am getting vibes of the FAH christmas party 2012 with the sound cutting off Foil's 'not the nicest' words 😂

This is scary accurate as an irishman... Dublin is like this for real. NO JOKE.

Almost completely my last hotel experience. This gave me a hotel-based form of PTSD, ha ha 👏

"I'm beginning to see why" lmao very subtle

"I'm beginning to see why." Was weeping on that. ROFL

The cornerstone of any reputed hospitality establishment is the broken thermostat.

I bet all of this doesn’t happen at the Wordplay Hotel. Now that’s a suite life.

Ok but why does Foil look so good in that messy hair floof 😅 some people can really pull off anything huh

Love Foil’s hair 😂❤

You can’t check in any time you like but you must quickly leave **guitar solo**

The either hot or cold shower is so real, every single hotel has showers that take five minutes to get warm and than they're boiling hot. And some hotels got almost no water pressure while others have showers that feel like a kärcher (high pressure cleaner if this is the right word) there is also no in between.

Hog is such a cheery sociopath 😅

I feel so bad for Foils, I want to give him a hug

As a former hotel receptionist, I totally would have loved to be as calm as Hog

2:13 Foil’s hair goes from Good Boy to Punk Band Renegade.

Foil looks terrifying during the air con scene. "All Noisy? Fine. All quiet? Fine" Run, receptionist, run...

Hog is so unphased! Arms’s walk on was brilliant. Foil is the perfect aggrieved customer. The ‘glue’?!?!

You do get good use out of those gold ties, aka the only ones which don't scream 1990s businessman. And I always love your inventive costume design like Foil's 'bathrobe' and 'pyjamas'. And it's very sweet that you dressed in the hotel uniform to keep Hog company, Arms. Or will we find out on Patreon the origin of that costume change?

the increasing amount of voice cracks are GOLDEN also the Taylor Swift reference at the end LMAO

Best sketch so far

Such a relatable premise taken to the realm of absurdity with means of a few clever lines, perfect timing and items accumulated over time in the office. Well done! A welcome treat to balance out the absurdity of the real world.
