Yes, please do! I’d love to see you react to it! I’m fairly new to your channel but I love your work! If you do series, please react to the father ted series!
Father Ted is easily one of the best comedy’s ever made. I’d recommend reacting to whole episodes as it’s one of those rare shows you can get away with showing on RU-vid in full.
Father Ted: Wheres Father Jack? (Drunken priest) Father Dougal: Oh he's alright Ted, they have a special place you can leave people like Father Jack while you go shopping. I left him there. Father Ted; Will he be alright on his own? Father Dougal: Oh, he's not on his own Ted, there are loads of other people there as well. Cut to Father Jack in the kiddies play area!!!!
You should see if you can find the episode I think is called 'Speed 3' where Father Dougal is trapped on a milk float with a bomb that arms when it goes over 4 miles per hour.
Absolutely. I'd also go for "Are You Right There Father Ted?". It's the one with the "Are you a racist now?" scene in. It builds to one heck of a final reveal. The range of wacky priests is amazing. Father Stone is a classic episode: The most boring of all priests. And on the other end of the spectrum, Father Noel Furlong who is too ???? to describe. There's also Father Brian Eno played by musician Brian Eno, who was a fan so asked for a part.
A friend of mine wrote to Channel 4 to try and get tickets to see Father Ted being recorded; they sent him 6 tickets for a recording, and the episode we saw being filmed was Speed 3, I'll never forget it, good times!
Both the "Pat Mustard" and "Speed" references here are to the episode 'Speed 3', EB. You can perhaps guess the connotation... but the context has to be seen to be believed :)
I can highly recommend every episode to you, but Kicking Bishop Brennan Up the Arse, Speed 3, A Song For Europe, The Mainland, Are You Right There Father Ted?, Tentacles of Doom, The Plague and New Jack City are true classics.
Yes! He will get Graham Norton thrown in for Free on that one! And the plane spoof on all those airplane disaster movies! I still love the very first episode when the fair comes to Craggy Island. Brand new show, sitting there not knowing what was coming and laughed my head off at the surrealism of it all. I was hooked there and then! The Ferris wheel that was a park bench on a crane. The goats. The spider baby. They never put a foot wrong in the whole run. Ken Bruce even said on his radio show the other day that whatever wins Eurovision it wil never match 'My Lovely Horse!' It's an Iconic show.
My all time favorite episode. The other one is where they buy the tea making obsessed house keeper a tea making machine and she sees it as a replacement of her.
I'm now going to count the days until you react to full episodes of Father Ted. It's the Pringles of television, once you pop you can't stop. Comedy gold, every episode.
Haha what a great episode! Well, what a great show all round. RIP Dermot Morgan. Please react to 'Mitchell & Webb - Are we the baddies?'. I think you'll love that.
2:26 Feck is a very common everyday Irish word that only means frustrated or annoyed. Barely above “damn!” as a swear word. In Irish Gaelic language it originally meant to throw something away violently as in “I fecked it out the window”. But ever since we realised the rest of the English speaking world is a bit shocked by it, we decided we’re gonna milk it for all it’s worth 🤣☘️
This is from "A Christmassy Ted" - the Christmas special is a comedy work of art, brilliant writing and acting. Well worth watching as it parodies a few movies along the way 👍🏼🤣
This was such a great series and one of the most talked about episodes - am intrigued why they stopped it there. The bit where they realise that Father Jack is STILL in day care where they left him is pretty good too ^*^
Archbishop brennan and the rabbits episode. Split my sides laughing every time i see it. Or Ted and dougal where ted is trying to explain the difference between near and far. Oh youve got to watch those as well 🙂
Oh I just left a comment saying the Speed episode is my all time favourite but I totally forgot about the rabbit one!! I'm laughing just thinking about it 😆 🤣
My friend and I once accidentally recreated this scene on the top floor of Kendal’s department store in Manchester, where he had shopped many times before. Could we find the exit...!?! Took us a full 20 minutes to escape 🙈🙈
The drunk priest with the swear word kids building blocks was played by the great Frank Kelly. His "Twelves Days of Christmas" is a classic and was a great favourite of the legendary Terry Wogan (along with trying to not play the NSFW version of Beautiful South's "Don't marry her").
Total classic. You need to watch it in full for your own enjoyment, it's genius. The same guy wrote The IT Crowd, another absolute classic. I won't list any more to look at, you're going in the right direction.
I've lost count of the times I watched Father Ted, every episode, but the sheer surrealist brilliance still gets me. As always, good to watch an old favourite with Alan. Nice to see a young Kevin McKidd as the rookie priest, a far cry from playing the hard nut Lucius Vorenus in HBO's Rome. He's worth checking out in Dog Soldiers as well, if you like modern, low budget comedy/tongue in cheek werewolf movies. Ex army mates of mine think Dog Soldiers is the best modern depiction of British squadies. I think you'd like it Alan, too long for a reaction, maybe a livestream?
I'm glad you got a good laugh at _"Not that way, for feck's sake - the other way!!"_ 🤣🤣 It's my favourite moment in this episode! You should definitely watch more Father Ted if you like this, the whole show is a work of genius!
Father Ted was outstanding, shame he died almost immediately after wrapping it up! There was one in Scotland called Rev. I.M. Jolly which is good for a laugh as well!
Great clip, one of the best in the series, (This is from the christmas special where Father Ted wins a Golden Cleric for his heroic act in Irelands biggest Lingerie section) You asked about father Jack in the creche, Dougal left him there. He is spelling out the three words he uses the most. They cleverly swapped out the U in the F word for E, giving you FECK, used throughout the series and aired on national TV, pure genius. The other good episode is when they meet Victor Meldrew "I dont believe it".
Man, you are hilarious!!!!! I am watching you looking at all of our comedy greats and laughing hysterically at them all. It’s absolutely brilliant and so funny laughing at you laughing, if that makes sense?... Brilliant, please keep the videos coming. All the very best dude 👍🇬🇧
“…..I’d rather have a Pop Tart Ted…” Father Dougal ‘eating’ water from a spoon and being breakfast shamed by Sster Assumpta…. Comedy gold as is ALL of Father Ted
You talked about tropes - that is kinda this whole show, a series of classic tropes played out by three amazingly weird priest characters and it's feckin brilliant
this is one of my favourites, along with the mrs doyle fight in "Caves" you really should check out the full episodes because there so much subtle humour you don't get in short clips
Father Ted is a gem. I've seen each episode multiple times but I wouldn't know what they were called. The one with the line "I hear you're a racist now, Father" is hysterical. And the one where Mrs Doyle is disgusted with the smut in some novels these days, where she wanders off into the kitchen saying "Ride me sideways...that was another one". I am sure others can tell you which episodes they were. Oh, and the sheep judging one, where someone in the background (the show's writer, Linehan, I think) shouts "f*cking hell" every time Ted makes a bombshell announcement.
If you haven't already, you should check out the IT crowd, also written by Graham Linehan one of father Ted writers, another very silly, very funny comedy.
I read somewhere that Father Ted only ever received two complaints: One for making a mockery of the Catholic Church the other complaint said it was promoting Catholicism!
Being Irish and an ex Altar Boy can so much relate to eccentric priests. Nailed them wonderfully in this show Dougal's father was my Mum's MP in Ireland
This was REALLY popular in Ireland at the time it came out. Father Jack (the old alcoholic priest, asleep in the creche in this clip) only really said 4 words...kinda like his catchphrase "Drink, girls, arse, and feck" I remember being out late at night after being at the club/pub in town and one of my friends would shout "DRINK!" - and way down the street someone would shout "GIRLS" and someone else "ARSE!" and another person "FECK!" - all complete strangers LOL
Great content as per🖤l suffer with social anxiety and it's my first shift back serving the random general public!!!your reactions always make me giggle🥰chilled me out a lil brother ......much love to ya'll from across the pond x✌️x
Fun fact, the priest (Father Deegan) who says “what are we gonna do? All the aisles look the same.” is Kevin McKidd, who now plays Owen Hunt on Grey’s Anatomy.
