YOU LET DOUGAL DO A FUNERAL!? | Father Ted | Hat Trick Comedy 

Up there with Fawlty Towers. Never a bad episode. Proper humour. Oh, forgot to add, RIP Dermot, gone but not forgotten...thank you for the laughs.

Dougal being an awful priest who barely knows the first thing about church doctrine is one of the best recurring jokes in Father Ted.

“Sick to death of expensive funerals? Dougal delivers half a dozen for the price of one.”

A bewildered Dougal managing to creep into Ted's tormented head has to be one of the funniest things ever.

Dougal even struggles in dream sequence...what writing we had .❤

I love Ted's delayed reaction to Dougal doing a funeral, Dermot Morgan was hilarious when it came to facial expressions. 😅

My theory: The man standing with Dougal was actually the deceased. Dougal, in his incompetence, accidentally performed a resurrection, and this unnatural ritual unleashed terrible energies which created the carnage seen.

The second best clip on RU-vid...the second best clip on RU-vid...

When all the news in the world this week is depressing, you can rely on Father Ted and his cronies to cheer you up.

You let Dougal do a funeral should become an idiom for a foolish decision.

It hits joke after joke. Relentlessly brilliant comedy. Dermot Morgan carried the whole thing magnificently. RIP.

YE FECKIN’ EEJIT! WAIT THERE TIL I GET YA! 😂 Do they ever wait til he gets them? 😂😂😂

"Sorry about that." **BOOM**

Love the fact that despite priests having absolutely nothing to do with driving the hearse or burying the body, somehow it's still Dougal's fault that the hearse crashed and blew up. XD

I am 69 and Father Ted is the funniest thing l have ever seen. Just one small detail: Ted storming out slamming the door. It’s in a three so the punchline is the third time when he closes it quietly and the result is even worse. But then the narrative moves quickly on to the next disaster. Brilliant, brilliant writing. And l love the way the show does cutaways so you only see the funeral for a few seconds. And the detail on the priest phone line- a shot of an answer phone, fags and a full ashtray. And that lingers a little before we overhear the two utterly insensitive clods discussing how to break the bad news. The storytelling, the characterization, the pace and timing are miraculous. I so wish my cousin Susan could have seen this. She died in the US where it was never screened and you could not get compatible DVDs

6:17 *DOUGAL'S DOING A FUNERAL?!? YOU LET DOUGAL DO A FUNERAL?!?!?*

On the mantelpiece there is a Christmas card of Santa washing his boxers, while Rudolph and Dasher are watching, I had that exact same card.

0:14 that TV advert is genius, great spoof of one of the Gay Xchange ads that was on late night TV's around that time ...

It's hard to count the amount of belly laughs there were in 6 minutes!!!

One of the greatest things to ever be on a television. end. period. full stop. Father Ted will always be there to help me through this shitty life

I grew up watching this, me my mum and brother. Great times. 😂😂😂

This is why father ted was one of the best

5:54 is one of those Ed Byrne? 😂

Unexpected CREMATION

Father Jack should be made the new Patron Saint.

Could’ve been worse. Father Jack could’ve done it 😂

The guy in the boat. Wait there till I get ya!

My head canon that the dead man was in a big “dublin” mafia type gang (there was a lot of it in late 90s Ireland) and his Gang where attending his funeral Rival gang members where on vacation to the island happened to walk past as Dougal said something informing the rival gangsters that the rival gang was attending this funeral and and he accidentally started a gang war leading to the car being fire bombed by the rival gang. This scene is still hallarious and one of the best gags ever

The second-best priest....the SECOND-best priest......

4:24 Dougal appearing and not saying anything

6:17 I actually cracked up at that scene! Hilarious!

It would be brilliant for Hat Trick to get the stage show happening, somehow, some way. There's so many people who would love to see it happen. Father Ted is still massively popular, and known the world over! It's a lost opportunity. 🥺

Dougal wearing a biretta implies that he probably did a pre-1970 Tridentine requiem instead - which would explain why everything caught fire - or at least, this is what the current Pope thinks will happen...

From a burial to a cremation

Dougal's head 😂😂😂😂😂

I love this show, brings back so many memories..💚💚💚

How the hell did all this happen?! What was Mrs Doyle thinking letting Dougal of all people do a funeral service?!

God the timing is so good.

5:52 Ed Byrne with an early one-liner there!

So tesco mobile didn't exist back then. What are the odds someone has that number now?😂

😅😅😅, I grew up with Fr Ted. Best kind of comedy

‘Will it still be a class 2 when… they remove it?’

The writers had 2 appearances, in this episode they appeared as two young men pranking the priest line and in the giving up cigarettes, alcohol and rollerblading they walked by saying "some weirdo has put a cross up"

That Princess hearse! I've never seen such a thing! Shame it's gone. Good show though

YOU LET DOUGAL DO A FUNERAL! Sorry about that. Boom

4:03 me an English supporting the second best national football team in Europe

you the BEST! lol

RIP Austin Princess Hearse

FREE FATHER TED

great to see Hat Trick supporting Graham Linehan

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Perfect!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh you've gone and done it now Dougal. You've only gone an pissed off Bear Grylls 😮

Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 best one

are the prank callers in the chatline at the end arthur matthews and graham linehan?

Good traditional Welsh name! They should arrest his parents too.

I support Graham!

6:21 ok how did that even happen

Sorry about that

An episode I haven't seen 🥲

The canned laughter spoils it.

Soup

the "best priest in the cou try" I meant

Is that ed byrne on the phone?

Similar phone number gag as in the IT crowd new emergency services number, but I'm OK with that..

Great. Shame Hat Trick treated Graham Linehan so badly.

You should stick to what you're good at and I'm good at being a priest

If only there was a Fr. Ted musical that we could see.... Glinner was right all the time, it's time that ye apologise for cutting him off and make amends.

Have some respect!

Be nice to see the live show of this now that the Cass report and the WPATH files have vindicated Graham Linehan. G'wan you troony feckers, g'wan.

did the genius that wrote this impeccable work of comedy get cancelled by the wokeararti?

Please tell me that phone number is real.

FAF

Father ted dying in real life, put me off watching it,to sad

I bet it was awsome being on the sett when filming 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

👎 Poor editing cutting off too soon 👎

The RCC is of the evil one come away from it and trust on the LORD Jesus Christ while there's still time HALLELUYAH AMEN and AMEN 🙏🇮🇱🙏🙏🙏

Father Ted was one of the finest comedies ever aired on British television. Sadly now tainted forever because of its creator and writer's obsession with transgender women.
