Father Ted!

[glazbagun]

Heads up. It's midnight and I'm drunk because... four months of furlough and it's Sunday night. But the episode of Father Ted when he kicks Bishop Brennan up the arse is on Right Now on More Four!

Showing my age, but this was one of those moments which, like THe Germans of Faulty Towers was one of my comedy higlights as a kid.

I can confirm that you are likely quite drunk ... you thought that Thurs was Sunday!

I can also concur that the episode you mention was, indeed, mighty fine.

Enjoy Monday tomorrow.

Personal favourite had to be the quote from Father Dougal

"Come on, Ted. Sure it's no more peculiar than all that stuff we learned in the seminary, you know, Heaven and Hell and everlasting life and all that type of thing. You're not meant to take it seriously, Ted!"

"I hear you're a racist now, Father".

Top 10 comedy TV moments for me was the "are you right there, Father Ted" episode where he's waving at one of Craggy Islands Asian community at the window. Literally spat my beer out the first time I saw that.

Down with this sort of thing!

Back in the land of the living.

I think it's been at least fifteen years since I watched it. It turns out they have the whole lot on channel 4's website so have just been revisiting the Nazi one. Actual tears of laughter I'll need to binge the lot at some point, I'd forgotten just how good it was.

So much of the episode is gold! When the woman outside his house is going absolutely nuts about the Greeks while his other neighbour wants to know if it's now church policy to be a racist, just that he's really busy and might not have the time to fully commit, or when he finally makes it to the pub and the entire place is full of Chinese.

Best comedy ever !!

So many great episodes. My personal favourite was Speed 3 with the milkman Pat Mustard

[generationx]

"Pat asked if he could put his massive tool in my box"

"I don't want to be a milkman any more"

"Those women were all in the nip!"

Dougal: “God Ted, I’ve heard about those cults. Everyone dressing in black and saying our Lord’s going to come back and judge us all.”

Ted: “No… no Dougal, that’s us. That’s Catholicism you’re talking about there.”

[ajprice]

Mrs Doyle: “Now come on Father, what would you say to a nice cup of tea?”

Father Jack: “FECK OFF CUP!”

Father Dougal:

I waited in vain for someone to doctor that scene to include Pierre Trudeau

That would be an ecumenical matter...
