American humorists are expected to produce biting satire, point out the absurdities of life, or at least give us a few puns or pratfalls. Across the pond, sketch comedy is a bit dryer. The Irish comedy troupe Foil Arms and Hog have no real jokes in this sketch; its humor comes from the elevation of an everyday situation into a dramatic tragedy. We all know someone who does this (teenagers are good at it), but rarely is it a group thing.
