Do people have more fun quoting Father Ted than actually watching it?

"Should we all be racists now, father?
What's the official line the church is taking on this?
Only, the farm takes up most of the day, and at night i just like a cup of tea, so I might not be able to devote meself full-time to the old racism..."

Mrs Doyle: They were a bit obsessed with the old...S-E-X. God I'm glad I never think of that type of thing Father. That whole sexual world. God, when you think of it it's a dirty, filthy thing, isn't it Father? Can you imagine Father? Can you imagine Father, looking up at your husband, and him standing over you with his lad in his hand, wanting you to degrade yourself? God almighty can you imagine that Father? Can you picture it there Father? Oh get a good mental picture of it. Can you see him there? Ready to do the business?

That's the best thing about Catholicism.

It's so vague. And nobody knows what it's all about!

I find myself quoting it at least once a day, maybe several times if I've a hangover, Father Ted Curly should be Canonised!

Honestly how do you all think this is still funny? It was hilarious when I was 16 and it came out, maybe for a few years afterwards. Now it's just silly humour, really dated, and a very mediocre comedy which doesn't come near classic territory, in my opinion.

Why would we "get over" it? Dermot Morgan changed Irish television, especially with Father Ted, sure while were at it lets forget about Michael Collins, Katie Taylor or anyone who has left their mark

Precisely.
So where's the problem if people other than yourself still find it hilarious and enjoy quoting it?

That would be an ecumenical matter.

One of my favourite scenes

Did you know Father Coogan at all, Ted?
Hmm... Oh, yes. Father Tom Coogan. Wasn't he in Africa?
He was, with Father Shortall and that load.
Then he was back in Wicklow.
I think Windy Shepherd Henderson was his priest there.
Windy Shepherd Henderson that was in Tralee?
No, a different Windy Shepherd Henderson.
- There's four of them. - At least.
One of them was with Father Daley in Chicago.
Wasn't he the first man on the scene when Malcom X was assassinated?
No, that was Father Burke.
Father Daley had the lump on his head in the shape of Connaught.
Like Father Caroline - he lost the use of his ears in an accident.
- He's deaf? - No, just lost the use of his ears.
He used to be able to wiggle them.

I know what you mean by having more fun quoting the scenes. I remember talking about all the funny bits in Spinal Tap with a friend recently and went to watch it after. I got kind of bored after 25 mins and turned it off.

I kind of have a feeling it'd be the same if i went to watch Napoleon Dynamite again

Its an institution. It transcends any notion of being of its time, or out of date like other comedies. Its stitched into the national fabric now, like drinkin' n debt.
Which is quite a feat considering its an English show. DID YIS KNOW THEY OFFERED IT TO RTE AND THEY TURNED IT OUT SO THEY DID!

EdenHazard

I just think people overrate Father Ted. Its so funny but I hate people who make out the humor in it is somehow unique to Ireland. Its your typical comedy, dumb and dumber, drake and josh, kenan kel

Like Father Jack is the most one dimensional character going, and so is Dougal. Mrs. Doyle as well.
Dougal was a good but like yeaaaah the show is defo hyped up way too much. Like the whistle theft episode, the whole 'u fuppin grasshole' was not funny at all

Not sure which line I like best, so heres the whole scene.

MRS. GLYNN: Oh we saw a great one a few weeks ago, The Crying Game.
MRS. SHERIDAN: Oh it was brilliant!
MRS. GLYNN: Oh but there's this great bit in it, you see there was this girl but then you find out it's not a girl but a man!
MRS. SHERIDAN: And he got his lad out.
TED: He got his what?
MRS. GLYNN: He got his lad out although you only see it for a second but you get the message.
MRS. SHERIDAN: I didn't know what it was at first it's been so long since I've seen one.
MRS. GLYNN: I thought it looked rather like your Billy's.
MRS. SHERIDAN: Not at all. Billy's is rounder at the top. Cheerio Fathers.

Deadly episode. Love that part where the statue with the giant penis is on the mantelpiece when Bishop Brennan is there sitting on the sofa in the sitting room, then after 10 seconds notices it, priceless!

I was in the pub the other day and my mate was arguing with a girl that she wasn't 29.

"If you're 29 then I'm Boy George"
She produces her passport, then he starts singing the first line of karmachameleon.

Perfect Father Ted quotage
