How to be Late for Work - Foil Arms and Hog

921k Bloody well done boys 😃

This is one of your best, somehow it feels different from your other sketches.

One of my favourites!!

Hopefully one day we'll all realize that everyone has a life outside of work, and just all embrace being late is ok

I'm a guy who always arrive max 2 minutes before I'm supposed to, and when you have little of an error margin, then it takes almost nothing to make you late.

I've used half of these, especially the self blamer, the blamer, and so forth, sometimes When I knew i was gonna be late, I spend the 20 min drive to make up a good excuse I haven't used before.

The most reliable one was to just say : Sorry I'm late : and then that was that.

What about those who don’t give a fuck? I have a colleague who is late every single day. She simply doesn’t care…

😂

I dated the last character.. Very difficult to ague with.

What about the one who blames it on traffic 😂

Are people actually late these days, post covid?

Man I love you guys. Funny as hell. 🤣😂😂

Whenever I am late I guess I am the “quick change” type😂

You forgot the "pretends to be sick but still goes to work" I once pretended I was fainting and ended up in the college infirmary. Everything is in the mind tho.

As someone who doesn’t drive; blaming a cancelled bus or train usually can be effective. Especially if you preempt it by calling colleagues claiming it’s been cancelled and you’ll be there soon, promise

yeah I've never seen "full closure" type before

Нужны субтитры на русском..

Never done that, so I thought of taking a look

My son once in his teen years, “My subconscious made me turn of my alarm.”

Actual things I have said:
- I was taking a quick shower and I heard squawking. A bird flew into the shower, got wet and started drowning. I fished it out, and start to go outside, but realized I was naked. It escaped into the house while I was getting pants on. I chase it for quite a while before I realized I was late. There's bird shit on my couch.
- There were peacocks in the road and they wouldn't move.
- Ow. ( This was before I went in to get my knee fixed. I had to park far away, and hobble through sandy soil. The classroom had giant windows, and they started betting on how long it would take me to get across the lot and up the stairs.)

Hog should really go into acting. He could play a leather glove and still be convincingly engaging.

I'm defo a gifter mixed with the reversed psychologist and full disclosure😅 aka "ugh you won't believe what a morning I had! Here I brought cookies" also unfortunately my sudden injuries are always real😅😅

Fabulous! You are so clever and witty depicting different personalities)) Thank you, I do enjoy watching your sketches. I'm from Russia, and now it has been tough having a laugh at all, but you made my day, thank you) I'm happy to be able to share your sense of humour

Rest In Peace queen eliabth

I remember being young and working for some clock watching assholes. Now I'm self employed and get mad at myself for being late as there's noone else on my case.

Boss: You're late.
Me: But I got here didn't I?
Boss:Yes, you did.
Me: Well then, if I was late, I wouldn't even be here, because I'll be dead.

Three handsome and hilarious Irishmen!

I might have to try some tomorrow. I have plus hours anyway. I am so sick of the disrespect I'm getting lately. YOU brought me in but no one in million years thought an unexpected situation will come (Ukranians are lovely btw, no shade to them) BUT I'M BASICALLY WORKING PLUS HOURS FOR YOUR SORRY ASS!!! Because even before I knew we were understaffed (why is just one person in reception for 100+ people now, it used to be half less, still freakin' a lot), oh wait, it's because you get paid to hire me cuz I'm part of a "programm" or whatever. Screw you. When my contract expires at the end of the year, I'm out. And I'll come to visit on busiest hours just to shade you. Again, screw you, I won't miss you. Thank God my holidays are in 3 weeks.

Im "the blamer" but its only because i have to take the bus to work and its always late. I get all stress up every morning😨...

Update for 2022 - for remote meetings: "My internet connection went down." / "I had to reboot." / "Outlook didn't remind me." / ""I got stuck in the last meeting." / "McAfee went nuts and took over the CPU." and others ... :)

Do you guys sit and think of adding little details that make the sketches so much better? or at this point, it's just an unspoken rule of filming. e.g a person walks by the camera right in the beginning as Hog walks in. To me, that sort of stuff adds so much life. I enjoy looking at all the extra work that goes into sketches like these.

I am the reverse Psychology one! :)

One co worker called me once:
“Sorry, im gonna be late, I’m on my way, I just couldn’t get off the toilet.”

I come an hour late to work because I am leaving from the office an hour later. No biggie

"Are you saying your grandmother died again? How many lives does she have?"

Even after six years, those doughnuts look damn good.

watching this from 5 years later. hardly anyone is late anymore specially if you're working from home 😅.

I used to have a bunch of excuses ready for being late, but since a few years ago I've decided there is no point in having an excuse. Other people don't care about that anyway. Now I just say I overslept and that's it. Unless something huge actually happened, like the time my cat got runover by a car at night and I got a call from the vet to pick up his body at 8 in the morning.

If you bring nothing to work, you can just pretend you are from the loo or pantry. It works if you want to go home as well.

If I’m late I just pretend I’m not and hope no one noticed

Used every single one except for the Judas and funeral.

'Full Disclosure'
- It's to honest to be true. 😂

I am definitely the 'Reverse Psychologist'

Tried the 'Disbeliever' two weeks ago. It didn't work.

If this was a drinking game...

Just an experiment:
Are you usually early or late?
I'm usually late but after i turned 30 I'm early

Pretty sure I've done all of this but usually do the last one. But there's nothing worse than someone who comes late and interrupts a discussion. So save your excuses for the break

Or my signature move:
Boss: “You’re late.”
Me: “And?”

“Sorry, had to do an emergency tampon run! It’s gushing like Niagara falls down there!”

Works every time

Damn, I exhausted them all. Now I I just walk in and say nothing, my manager says nothing, and my colleagues say nothing. The last time I tried to give an excuse, the manager told me, don't start it, ubr always late.

I clicked cuz I thought this was a Ryan Gosling movie...
