Necro

Who is your favourite Ted Character, one of the main cast?



Perhaps a recurring favourite?








Or perhaps one of the umpteen guest stars?








All will be included. All will be available to vote for or against.

Starts Saturday...

I hear you’re a racist now Necro.

If one of the top 4 inevitably wins, can we run the losers to see the best non-main cast?

I think we can work something out

Also Starring LeVar Burton

The main cast won't win. Not with the likes Bishop Len Brennan, "Father Todd Uncious", and Pat Mustard in the mix.

That would be an ecumenical matter

Inspired me to re-read the Father Ted Werewolf game. Memories! Not a bad way to spend an evening.

Necro

Right the brackets are drawn up and ready for Saturday. 60 characters will go head to head in the ultimate Fr. Ted character contest.

Reasons will be needed, I will accept quotes from the show or gifs relating to the character you're voting for either if you can't think of anything.



I have seeded 16 of these who would be considered more popular and they will not meet in Round 1, after that it will be an open draw.

How do we decide the final 2 for Round 2 I bet you are all wondering...

Second Chance Showdowns, that's how! In the biggest ones yet, we will see 30 losing characters in each showdown fight for your votes to regain entry to the tournament.

And sure look, if nobody turns up and nobody votes - I had my fun, and that's all that matters

lassykk

Really looking forward to this as TV and movie ones usually rule me out

the purple tin

So many great characters, this could be traumatic

I must give Fr Larry Duff a ring and tell him about the contest.

Necro

This kicks off at 11am tomorrow folks. Time to get HYPED!!

Necro

Just over 30 mins to kick off.

Round 1 - Character will require 6 votes to advance. Reasons need to be included, they can be quotes, memes, gifs, how their eyes sparkle on a clear summer's morning.

16 characters have been seeded for Round 1.

Necro

Match 1

A rough and tumble to start with, would be an interesting fist fight but who gets your vote?


Fr. Jack Hackett




VS


Tom

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Tom ; Father... I've killed a man.

Necro

Just to note that matches have a 30 minute time limit, if the 6 vote quota is not reached the person with the most votes will advance.

Omackeral

Tom. Jack isn’t funny, he’s annoying as f*ck.

rainbowtrout

Jack

Jack - he is one of the main characters and no way should he fall at the first hurdle.

kowloon

Would the show have worked without Jack?

A vote for Jack.

Vestiapx

Tom - should have had a spin off series.

rodders999

"No Father, tis my money. I just didn't want to fill out the forms."

Best quote from the entire show.

Tom.

Dr. Steve Brule

Tom - He was a genuinely funny character.

Necro

5 mins remain

Necro

Tom takes a huge scalp and dispatches Fr. Jack with a 5-3 victory!! Still one final chance for Jack to get back in though...

Necro

Match 2

Two minor characters here next, who gets your vote?

Fr. Jim Johnson




VS


Fr. Jose Fernandez

quickbeam

Neither are the best, but I don't even remember the first feller so I go for the second feller.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Fr. Jose Fernandez - he was only there briefly, but he left some memorably gifts, and was part of the longest game of cluedo in existence, plus he makes a memorable departure.

the purple tin

Fr Fernandez. The dubbed voice was funny.

Icaras

Fr. Jose Fernandez. Jim was good but hes no Jose.

The most overrated show in the history of television. I'm going to struggle to contribute.

hehehe


Fr. Fernandez - I flipped a coin.

Shhhh, you're not meant to point out that the Emperor is naked.

Purgative

Fr Fenandez


I flipped a coin too - I'm still smarting over Jack

Necro

Fr. Fernandez progresses with a 6-0 whitewash

Necro

Match 3

Sarcasm or a love for saying mass - who will y'all pick

Fr. Jessup



VS


Fr. Derek Beeching

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Fr. Derek Beeching - "is there anything to be said for saying another mass?" Plus, I've worked with the actor, lovely guy.

Dr. Steve Brule

Ooh, this is a tough one.

I'll go for Fr. Derek, simply because asking if there's anything to be said for saying another mass is a classic line.

quickbeam

I obviously don't know the show very well, but if others are saying that Derek was the originator of "say another mass" then that's enough for me to go for him.

the purple tin

Fr Jessup was funny 'No...we came via Yemen', but Oh God I love mass so it's Fr Beeching.

wrestlemaniac

Fr. 'we'll sleep outside in a ditch!' Jessup gets my vote

Redser87

Fr Jessup for how much he managed to confuse Mrs Doyle

Pintman Paddy Losty

Fr Jessup. I appreciate the important work he did for NASA in space.

Necro

Fr. Beeching progresses to the next Mass... err next Round. 4-3 victory there

Necro

Match 4

The most boring priest ever to exist taking on... errr… a rabbit :pac:

Fr. Paul Stone





VS


Sampras the rabbit

the purple tin

Fr Stone.
Uneven match up this.

Redser87

It has to be Fr Stone, if only for his artistic talents

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Fr Stone - "well if there's a fire..."

***Would've thrown Sampras a vote if he were up against a few others though***

the purple tin

Sultan of Bling

Father stone - top golfer

Pintman Paddy Losty

Fr Stone. He could've been pope.

Pintman Paddy Losty

Fr Stone. He could've been pope.

Necro

Fr. Stone progresses with a 5-0 victory
