Best of John and Mary - Father Ted 

God bless " Mary". She passed away yesterday, I believe, 09/02/2021. RIP "Mary".

The most realistic married couple in TV history.

I love how John can't stand Mary and yet he STILL holds the door for her at the hospital!

It has been announced today (Feb 9th 2021), that Rynagh O’Grady who played Mary has died. As brilliant a comic actress as she was (and the reactions here to her role in Father Ted testify), she was also a renowned theatre actress in Ireland and hugely respected and admired by her peers. Rest in Peace Rynagh, from your fans around the world

You can keep Yeats, Wilde, Joyce and Bono. The best line ever written by an Irish man is “Get them feckin Crunchies out’ve the car”

“ get the feckin cruchies out the car “ 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Greatest Irish TV show of all time.

“He’s no friend of mine” is one of my favourite lines.

The writers of Father Ted were genius, the actors were without equal!

I love her "Ya ignorant prick!" as he pushes past her.

Get them feckin' crunchies out of the car. Utter class

RIP Rynagh O’Grady who plays Mary O’Leary in Father Ted sadly passed on February 8, 2021. Rynagh O'Grady (1954 - 8 February 2021) was an Irish actress who was known for her roles of Mary O'Leary in the Channel 4 sitcom Father Ted and Minnie Kennedy in the 1999 film A Love Divided. She trained in the Abbey Theatre School and first appeared on their stage in 1969.

Prior to 1995 there was no divorce in Ireland. Hence, the Johns and Marys.

John and Mary O'Leary make Basil and Sybil Fawlty seem like a loving couple.

"You basstaaard!" "SLAG!" Aah they're a lovely couple..

"Get them fecking crunchies out of the car" idk why but that line always cracks me up

John & Mary were just something else. In addition to the hilarity, the apt social commentary is something. An incredible show.

Just the little subtle things like Dougal stealing the sweets is what helped make this show the work of genius it is

These two are something of a social commentary on marriage in Ireland at the time. Divorce simply wasn't possible (at least, not if you wanted to keep your social reputation intact), but evidently they remembered the "Til death do us part" clause didn't specify how death had to part them.

The sign of a married catholic couple. Can't stand the sight of one another, know divorce is an abomination and act all nicey lovey dovey when the priest comes round. Classic lol

"Ah father you look wonderful, is that a new outfit?" lolol love it

I love the bit when Mary is trying to drown John in a bucket.

When Father Ted was made, divorce was still illegal in Republic of Ireland, so John and Mary are stuck.

Get them feckin' Crunchies out of the car...

02:43 "I'll watch nothin'". Has to be the most Irish response ever

6:45 - 'YOU CAN STAY IN THERE TILL YOU LEARN SOME FECKING MANNERS' 🤣🤣🤣

Rynagh O’Grady Dermont morgan Frank Kelly Rest in peace and thank you for the never-ending laughs

02:37 "Ya big pile of shite!" I don't know why that makes me laugh so much!

How did one sitcom have so many great characters.

''Ah it's only a flesh wound'' '' Ah it's not broken, and sure if it is, what the hell? '' This is one of the most quotable shows ever. Me and my sister watched this show compulsively for about ten years and now, whatever the situation, there is always a Father Ted quote that fits. Top class writing from Graham Linehan and Arthur Matthews.

"Mary was just washing my hair " PFFFT BAHAHAHAHA got to give it to them, They do come up quick on the spot explanations

The handcuffs scene is hilarious

My parents weren’t Catholic but my Dad ruined her life and she STILL wouldn’t divorce him. My Dad was a bully who put in an act that we were a delightful, loving family. Vile man.

"It's not a stab wound". 😂

My grandparents were John & Mary both Catholic this has me crying with laughter 😂

“No..no medical tests......sure what would he know about that Ted!” Fekin brilliant!

"And ye can stay in there till ye learn some feckin manners" lmao

"Oh Mary, I forgot you were there"

even after all these years, ive seen all episodes probably 20 times, and i still look out for fr ted and i often see some tiny little detail that i had somehow overlooked - fantastic actors & writers and very much on point in commenting (with a little comic exaggeration!) on small town ireland of not so long ago... RIP Dermot, you were truly a genius of the mad and very funny variety!

Get them feckin crunchies out of the car is one of my favourite lines.😂

John and Mary, fantastic characters, trapped together but can't divorce (for *those* reasons), taken to the extreme. I had older relatives that were similar (but not violent thankfully, but they were miserable as a result). The actors playing them both are wonderful. The "Hello Fathers!" from within the cupboard still has me crying laughing.

“He’s no friend of mine…actually, that might have sounded a little disrespectful.” 😂😂

Rip rynagh o Grady that played Mary so sad that she passed away

Sad to hear that Rynagh O'Grady has passed away aged 67......another hilarious Father Ted legend gone. Mary and John's rows always had me in stitches !!!!!

I loved John and Mary.They should of had their own series.

"Ted, they don't have the Sound Affects album, we might as well just go"

This was pure unadulterated comedy gold, RIP Dermot Morgan

John and Mary were pure comedy gold!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Loved them

"You know Father, I think you'd be brilliant on television"😂

7:17 Love how ted casually asks "Is there someone in the cupboard?" As if its perfectly normal.

This reminds me of the time me and my hubby were arguing at the checkout of tesco's next minute we looked up and saw my daughter's teacher. 'ah hello Mrs Highland'. Me and my hubby were nice as pie till we got out pooped earshot of the teacher 😂😂

Ted is meant to be the "sane person in an insane world" but he's taken for a ride when he talks to John and Mary. That probably takes place every single day in Catholic communities.

Fr ted will never die every episode was great still watch it today

John and Mary are 2 of my favourite supporting characters. Very sad to hear of Rynagh O'Grady's passing. RIP

My favourite minor characters from ted

I always get the feeling JOHN should of been called JOSEPH that would of been the icing on the cake for these characters .

The haters are all from Rugged Island including Father Dick Byrne and Father Cyril MacDuff.

Get them feckin crunchies out of the car 😂

Ah Mary, I didn't know you were there, I though you were at your mother's, no I'm In the cupboard, 😁😁😁

Love Father Ted's reaction at 5:58

* had a bloody bandage on his head 'it's a headache, i don't know why i bother coming, really' 😃

The shotgun incident cuts off too soon. Father Ted starts talking to an old lady outside the shop and after a while you hear the gun go off and Ted turns round with a concerned look on his face. Should have included that!

No matter how many times you watch this it's always hilariously funny one of the true all time great sitcoms

R.I.P Rynagh, but what a legacy you leave behind.

The show seems like it wason yesterday. I miss it.

Thanks for putting this together - these two were my favorite part of the show.

Thank you Rynagh O Grady for the brilliant laughs John and Mary gave us. R.I.P

I love John and Mary on Father Ted

"Are you going to stand there all day ya fat aul bitch" "Don't talk to me like that you big pile of shite" Favourite interaction ever. John and Mary were hilarious :D

Should've had a spin off show with John and Mary 😂 i would've watched that.

John and Mary always squabbling and back biting then in each other's arms when Ted or Dougal turn up I love the way they do that.

Translation: every single john and mary scene from Father Ted

"I'll get them, love. You stay in the cupboard." "Well what else can I do, ya stupid great...!"

John and Mary, Husband and wife. Bringing home a brand new life.

These two are hilarious

Makes anyone to be single forever

Yet he holds the door as they leave the waiting room of the hospital....a gentleman😂😉

What a fantastic show

8:00 Best clip ever

Absolute genius of Linehan and Matthews

I just learnt that Rynagh O'Grady, playing Mary sadly passed away last year.

Never gets old 😂😂

I don't know about everyone else, but personally I think John and Mary are underrated characters

Miss those old style shops that sold everything. RIP Mary/ Rynagh. So good in Fr Ted. A phenomenal and formidable theatre star too by all accounts.

Rynagh O Grady was my neighbor, and she passed away a few days ago

Love Mary so much. May the lord guide her home

The shotgun scene was savage 😂😂😂

Gotta love some John and Mary 🥰🤣

Fupping hell, I love John and Mary!

Father Dougal nicks the lollipops and then Mary says” your looking great anyway” a classic Dougal expression of trying to access if Mary can really see him. The whole time as if Mary being in the cubby is perfectly natural. These days you need this humor.

"Ah, sure it's nothing. It's just a... headache". Brilliant. 😂👏🏻

Everyone on this show is BRILLIANT ... But I seriously love these two

The best comedy, ever!

One of the best comedies from a great era

Rest in peace Mary. Thanks for making me laugh out loud. The best couple in comedy by far....

love the hancuff scene i laugh every time

love the part where she punches him in the face through the door 😂

If there was ever a couple who deserved there own spin off show, it was 'John and Mary'....😂

Best couple on any show

There’s saying in Welsh “Angel penffordd a diawl pentan” meaning “An angel on the road and a devil on the hearth.” That seems to sum up lots of marriages haha. Lots of front, lots of grief behind the scenes!
