Father Ted

OneArt

Sister Assumpta was my favourite.

"He's dying? Oh my God, is it serious!?"

"And that's your sister-in-law's funeral... My personal favourite."

"Address me by my proper title. You little bollocks"- Bishop Brennan

Probably my favourite line from any show ever.

I love Dougal, he is comedy gold

"Dougal: Hello there Len.
Bishop Brennan: Don't call me Len, you prick. Refer to me as 'Bishop Brennan'!
Dougal: Ah right you are there Len."


"Bishop Brenan: Don't you realise I have an audience with the pope tomorrow?"
Dougal: Ah don't worry Len, they repeat those things all the time"



"Ted: What was it Jack used to say about the needy? He had a term for them.
Dougal: A shower of bastards."


Dougal: "Oh you know ted, those guys that go about wearing black and telling everyone they're going to hell if they don't behave. What are they called?"
Ted: "...That's us, Dougal"


And the episode where Dougal starts hanging around with the tearaway priest hilarious you'd think they were 8yr olds.

Hence my username :pac: Definitely the best guest character in the show.

Apart from the unseen Father Bigley, and Father Windy Shepherd Henderson (theres at least four of them)

I know people as young as 16 who absolutly love it. I dont know many people younger than that well enough to make a judgement but down to at least 16 love it. I'm guessing that was more or less the youngest the creators had in mind. Dont think they were doing it for the 10 year olds.

I was born in 1991 and I loved watching it on its original run in the 90's. Kids loved Fr Ted they just don't get half the jokes.

TED! My tanktop has turned into some sort of women's bra!

Do you still have the ould hairy arse?

It was funny when I was 16 or however old I was when it came out, now it just looks terribly dated and awful and unfunny to me. The jokes are so cheap and obvious half the time. Am I the only one who thinks this?

No, but you're certainly in the minority. I know what jokes are coming and it still makes me laugh. The best thing about is the way Ted is usually trying frantically to be normal but just fails miserably.

Love this scene...

Ted: Anyway, the thing is, I might not be able to say this evening's Mass.
Nun: - What, Father?
Ted: - I have something important to do.
Nun: Not more important than saying Mass, Father?
Ted: It's just, someone I know is dying.
Nun: Oh, dear. Is it serious?
Ted: Yes. In this case, the person dying is quite seriously ill.

Ted; It's someone we know very well.
JacK: Nuns! Nuns! Reverse! Reverse! Reverse! Reverse!
Nun: Hello Father McGuire.
Father Crilly was just telling us about your friend, dying.
Dougal: Who was that, Ted?
Ted: Um... Er... Old Jim.
Dougal: Ah, is he dying? Poor old Jim. He won't like that.
Ted: He's terribly down about it.

Dougal: Wait a second. Jim Halpin? - Yes. I was talking to him earlier and he didn't say a thing.
Ted: Well, that's Jim. Brave is not the word.
Dougal: He's just outside. Hold on and I'll get him.
Ted: What's he doing outside? He should be in bed.
Dougal: I met him earlier. He wanted the lend of some sugar.
Ted: Dougal, at a moment like this, this man needs peace. Don't...
Ted: - Hello, Jim.
Jim: Hello, Father. Hello, Sisters.
Dougal: Now Jim, you never told me you were ill.

Jim: What? Oh, I had a bit of a cold a few weeks back.
Dougal: A cold? Ted said you were dying.
Jim: Dying? Oh, no. I don't think so, anyway.
Ted: It's just I was talking to Dr Sinnott. He said... He said you might be dying but he wasn't 100% sure himself so don't go off worrying unnecessarily.
Jim: - I'd better give him a call. -
Ted: I wouldn't go calling him, Jim.
Jim: And why not?

Ted: He... He can't use the phone. He's gone deaf.
Dougal: Dr Sinnott's gone deaf? That's terrible.
Ted: It is.
Dougal: Oh, wait a second! There he is now.....Dr Sinnott! He heard that all right, Ted.

Yes. You obviously lost your sense of humour somewhere along the way :P

Father Ted is utterly timeless. It will always been funny. Always!

Father Ted: Whats Father Jack looking at?, Whats that you're watching Father Jack?
Father Jack: What?
Father Ted: Is that a film you're watching?
Father Jack: What?
Father Ted: Isn't that Kiefer Sutherland?
Father Jack: WHAT?
Father Ted: Is that Flatliners you're watching?
Father Jack: WHAT?
Father Hernandez: Is Father Jack a little hard of hearing?
Father Jack: WHAT?
Father Ted: Yes he gets a kind of waxy build up in his ears. Then we have to syringe them it's not very nice.
Father Dougal: It's great because we're never short of candles.
Father Jack: WHAT?
Father Hernandez (looks at disgusting ear wax candle on the table)
Father Ted: All that was in his head last week. And there's a few more over there. We,ve nearly enough for a papal funeral, he's a sort of one man candle factory. Aren't you Father Jack?
Father Jack: WHAT?
Father Ted: To be honest, he can hear well enough when he wants to. Watch this. Father Jack, would you like a glass of brandy?
Father Jack: Yes

His best is the episode with the 3 bishops and the golden relic, the bit at the end when he lists all his doubts and the bishop becomes a hippy!

The best argument for Atheism I've ever seen!

God Ted I've never met anyone like him anyway. Who would he be like? Hitler or one of those mad fellas.
Oh, worse than Hitler. You wouldn't find Hitler playing jungle music at three o'clock in the morning!

Never noticed the guy from Greys Anatomy and Rome started out in Fr. Ted.

Hilarious looking back at it
