Boardsies Decide: The Greatest Father Ted Character.... EVER

Cosmo Kramer

Len

Redser87

Too late for the last round, oh well. Len all the way, if only for the dodgy home video

Seven Septs

Bishop Brennan is a multi layered character. Stern RC traditional bishop. Yet has a son and mistress. Irrational fear of rabbits.

Visits to the Vatican, and, at the other extreme, Craggy Island. Legendary putdowns, on The Passion of Tibulus protests 'you even managed to make the fim popular in Gdansk'!

And he comes from Limerick!

Sultan of Bling

Bishop Brennan because his moth is a ride.

Bishop Brennan - archetype of the bastard bishop who set back Ireland centuries, His Bastardness John Charles McQuaid coupled with Eamonn Casey philandering - all in one character- it doesn’t get better than that.

If it was necessary to pick these reasons would be winning it for Len btw.

Len and Ted

Worthy finalists. Most consistent performers across the whole three series

quickbeam

Brennan anyway.

I don't really mind which in the other one.

Penfailed

Dougal
Ted

Len and Ted

Didnt think Noel was even remotely funny just annoying and Dougal, much as I liked him wasn't as funny as Len

Vestiapx

Len because he was brilliantly evil and to me representative of what a man who lives in a palace and has all that power should be like.
Noel because he was the most laugh out loud character in the whole show.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Bishop Len Brennan - far far better character, Dougal is sh*te

Noel Furlong - for the sh*ts and giggles

Sultan of Bling

Dougal - he was obsessed with the naked carol voderman but stayed true to his celibacy unlike len.

Ah man the 2nd one is tough but it has to be ted. A brilliant racist charachter.

Just waiting on that chinese episode to be pulled.

HildaOgdenx

Bishop Len Brennan.

Fr Noel Furlong.

Seven Septs

Len and Ted

Tiger Roll

Dougal and Ted

Brennan and Ted

Brennan for the reasons I’ve mentioned already

Ted for the following reason.

I knew a former priest like Ted who left the priesthood and went on to work in the media industry . Haven’t seen him in 30 years but when Ted first came on the scene it totally reminded me of him.

Disillusioned, a bit of a rogue, fundamentally good but flawed, never knew why he wound up where he was-,liked women

The character of Ted is true to life in so many ways- but also so very funny

I salute Dermot Morgan RIP. And I salute Ted

Redser87

Len and Ted.
Len for the home video, the Playboy mansion, and his wonderfully clear enunciation. And because of the running gag of giving Ted an even worse parish.
Ted because he's Fr Ted, and because Len V Ted would be an epic final.

Dougal and Noel

Cosmo Kramer

Len and Noel

The two best recurring characters and the fact they're so memorable despite only being in a few episodes each puts them ahead of Ted and Dougal in my view.

13 Lens and 12 Teds I think?7 Noels

Necro

Bishop Brennan takes the first semi final 15-5

The second match is closer. But your second finalist is Father Ted Crilly - with a winning score of 12-7

Final coming up momentarily

Necro

Grand Final


It's the one we've all been waiting for.


Only one can be crowned the best.

Voting open till 6pm tomorrow

Who gets your vote as the Best Ever Father Ted Character?


Fr. Ted Crilly






VS


Bishop Brennan

Seven Septs

Len Brennan

Hard luck Fr. Ted... as the episode title goes.

I’m gonna sleep on this one and dream of bunnies.

JP Liz V1

Fr. Ted as he kicked Bishop Brennan up the arse

Delighted with the final two - definitely the strongest two characters in the series.

It has to be Ted - the energy Dermot Morgan put into that character made him what he is today. Only 3 series but yet we watch it time and time again. It’s Ireland’s Faulty Towers. For the shear volume of laughs it’s Ted no. 1
But delighted Bren gets the best minor character award.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Bishop "Don't Call Me Len, You Little Prick" Brennan ; his episodes were always the best. His traumatic retelling of the rabbits in the lift alone is reason to crown him the victor!

HildaOgdenx

Loved Len but I guess Fr Ted could not have happened without Ted, so I'm voting Ted.

Tiger Roll

Ted Crilly because you wouldn't find Hitler playing jungle music at 3 in the morning.

Heres Johnny

I vote the titular character Ted, because he has a fluffy bottom. Bishop Brennan just has one you want to kick

Don't think this will be even close

Penfailed

Fr. Ted.

It's not called Bishop Brennan for a reason

Electric Nitwit

Father Ted not the best character in Father Ted?



Vote Ted!

Vestiapx

Len Brennan because he's a proper father.

Sultan of Bling

I vote for ted crilly.

My second favourite character after ted curley.

Cosmo Kramer

Think I'm on a loser here but I'm going for Len Brennan.

A character so good even my parents liked him, and they hated the show.

Sawduck

Fr. Ted Crilly - An immortal tv character played by a fantastic and hilarious actor

Seven Septs

I think Len is a better 'character' but to act the role of Ted is probably much harder.. if that makes sense.

I'm not changing my mind, i voted for Len earlier because he gave me more laughs per screen time.

Omackeral

It's Ted for me. He's adorable, mischievous, kind, cheeky, embarassing, likeable, cringeworthy and a bit of an eejit. He's basically an everyman but a bloody great one.

FortuneChip

Just popping in to vote Ted.

He's just a bit of a brilliant numpty.
So many flaws, and Dermot Morgan somehow manages to play them all so endearingly.

You always root for him, but at the same time can't wait to see the rug get pulled.

Len is hilarious, a riot, and a brilliant support character- to the main man.
