His suggestions of pen also includes [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers a calculator]].

''The Nutters'' is a pair of Irish comedy films written and directed by Jordan Lennon.

This SliceOfLife focuses on a trio of boys in inner city Dublin - Jake (Jordan Lennon), Jimbo (Adam Douglas) and Luke (Liam Gaynor) - who are the titular 'Nutters'. Whatever they do, HilarityEnsues. A recurring character is Jake's cousin from the country Eoin (Greg Young).

The first short was released in 2017 and can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mINS1s9FUdE here]]. They also released a ChristmasSpecial [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C0JSP8OI3k here]].
