Ever slip a Father Ted reference into real life?

FinnLizzy

Happens with nearly every thread in AH. But have you ever slipped a Father Ted reference or quote into a real life situation and successfully pulled it off?

I know nearly every student protest has the standard "Down with this sort of thing!" placard. And it's easy to slip in "Careful now" when someone steers conversation into sketchy territory.

I was doing a presentation for college, and for motivation, our lecturer offered a prize for the best presentation that day. For the laugh, at the very end of the presentation, I slipped in "...and I feel that I deserve both parachutes, because this presentation was so great".

So what's the most creative Father Ted reference you ever made?

Nah, that would be an ecumenical matter!

They only come out in the night. Or in this case, the day.

I enjoy immensely stopping someone with "hold on a second!" and when they pause "these are fake arms!" ...... Good way to annoy someone when they're in the middle of a rant....

Within my group of friends, any time anyone mentions London:

"I'll give you a clue.................. you live there"




















............ Is it London?????

Doc

Anytime I offer anyone anything with raisins in it and they say no I say
"are you sure there's cocaine in it?"

I like to refer to all ethnic minorities as "a great bunch of lads"

If i ask someone a question and the answer is simple/obvious i always reply back with "Oh right Ted!"

HalloweenJack

I use the "I read that... somewhere" when I can't back up what I'm saying.

MrShine

When I used to work with my dad, he had a huge (and I mean huge) wrench. Whenever my mum dropped into the shop, he'd go get it, then ask her if he could "put his massive tool in her box". Lovely, dad, thanks for that.

I constantly quote Ted, it doesn't matter if it's unrelated or highly inappropriate.

Serious conversation about World War II? "You've nothing from the Allied Side?" "No, that sort of nonsense wouldn't interest me at all." Just broken up with your boyfriend? "God, it was like that wedding in Clones with the Blue Nun."

It's like Tourettes or something, Tedettes maybe?

I tell people that they can say no because it's a lovely word Our Lord gave us here on earth for when we don't want any cake.

Caraville

Watching the Rose of Tralee it's impossible not to say that they all have lovely bottoms. I've tried, it's impossible.

Was at a funeral a couple of weeks ago. My mother starts raving about the priest, how down to earth he is and how lucky the parish has been for getting "good priests".

Was going to go with the usual "mhm." but instead came back with "He does a great Mass!"

I use the "oh right" all the time, and some of my mates too, especially when someone comes out with a frankly rediculous statement.

Theres a guy i work with, and calling him inept would be a compliment. so whenever the manager gives him and task involving any responsibility i always remark "YOU LET DOUGAL DO A FUNERAL???"

one of my other wormates said the other day that i was in bad form and had **** banter, i remarked with "feck off, cup"
