The fucking shot of him with his cape spread as he comes back is one of the greatest shots in any sitcom ever and It's one of the very best moments for me.
And the sight of him charging down the hill with his cloak spread like the wings of a devil and his battle cry heralding a mighty swift kick up the arse.
4:17 cannot ever, ever be unfunny to me. I’ve seen it more times than I’ve had hot dinners and it never fails to crack me up. The horn beep. The flying cape. The war cry. “CRRRRRILLLYYYYY” 😂😂😂😂
This episode inspired me to take up painting very crude watercolours. Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse is the joint best episode with Are You Alright There Father Ted IMHO. Comedy platinum.
That was the best ever Father Ted episode! Every time I thought about it for days afterwards, I would burst out laughing. My friends must’ve thought that I had gone mad.
Yeah Brennan is funny. I love the way He beckons Ted forward with His index finger, Twirls it to get him to turn around and points. I had teachers like that in school, sarcastic, authoritarian and overbearing. Bloody jesuits.
This is the funniest episode from the funniest comedy show ever made! The fact this video was made 11 years ago and is still being commented on today speaks volumes about how good Father Ted really was!
They don't quite show it in this edit, but Len busts the front door to pieces when he enters the house to confront Ted and it's simultaneously hilarious while also terrifying.
The show just got better and better with each season and thats rare for a comedy show damn shame Dermot passed away after it was finished he could have done so much more after Father Ted
Love this series. Father Ted is one thing that makes me appreciate growing up in a Catholic school just so that I can appreciate the humour in this show so much more! I suppose you don't need to but it does help bring it out a lot more when you relate it to your childhood experiences. (Of course it's grossly exaggerated)
Only in a few places. Back in your day it was a sin to eat meat on a Friday. Back in my day Mary became immaculate. Now she is the mother of God. When I was in school she was the mother of the Son of God. Jesus said he came to glorify His Father in Heaven. Yes, there are many things in Catholicism that don't balance in the Bible. Fr Ted has shown us these short comings in the most delightful way possible.
When I first saw Bishop Brennan running towards the house with the cloak outstretched.....I laughed and laughed,,,,,,,,,,,and I'm still laughing watching it now.
Absolutely one of my favourite scenes from anything of all time, the bit just before the kick where ted jumps out the window has me in hysterics every time I see it
If Ted had reacted faster, he could've potentially hid better from Bishop Brennan. If I was him, I would've retreated into Father Jack's room and hid literally anywhere, because Father Jack's room is the last place that even in a berserker rage Brennan would never go into willingly.
This was my social groups 'who shot JR?' moment when Ted read that forfeit challenge. Needless to say we were excited for this episode and it didn't disappoint.
4:22 “OH NO!!” 4:24 “CRILLY!!!” 4:30 “CRILLY!!!” 5:23 “BUT NUMBER ONE ON THE LIST WOULD BE THE MATTER OF YOU, 5:26 KICKING ME UP THE ARSE!!!” 5:36 “DON’T TRY MY PATIENCE!!!”
So many funny angles to this but what about the fact Dougal somehow managed to organise all those photos and the huge one be delivered that’s extra comedy on top
I don't know why, but the scene of Jim Norton running with his absurdly large cape flapping in the wind terrified me as a kid. It just looked so odd, in a sinister sort of way, to a young bloke watching with his parents.
What’s so great is that Dougal was actually pretty smart in this episode. Even when Brennan came back to confront Ted, he was still able to go along with the plan and convince him otherwise. It was just the large photos fecked it up, which tbf was Ted's idea.
Bishop WILLIAM Brennan was an Australian bishop who founded schools and a seminary. Ordained at 22. When I found out I was reminded of Jim Norton's character.
I swear to you, on all that i hold dear, on my life, on my religion, on God, on all the Saints and Angels in heaven....i did not kick you up the arse Gold
Scriptwriter: "Let's make an episode about one person... kicking another person... up the arse. That's it. That's my whole idea." And yet... ...it's just brilliant!
I will always remember when I had long haul flight from England to Singapore. It was ‘nighttime’ so everyone was asleep and the shutters where down. My dad kept laughing out, embarrassing me as teenager. He told me to put on father ted, and I joined him laughing out loud to father ted 10,000km in the sky. While everyone was asleep. Nothing makes me laugh like father ted
The fucking shot of him with his cape spread as he comes back is one of the greatest shots in any sitcom ever and It's one of the very best moments for me.
I do it with my dressing gown and shout Crilly and my kids run away 😂😂
Like the father-in-law
@@jankocbek85 Nah, Tourettes
Genius plot.
@John Toscano that's adorable 😂
When Ted shouts "feck off!" to Jack who scurries away....literally lol.
one of my favourite moments such a simple bit but jacks reaction makes it 🤣🤣
You didn't have to put literally 🙄
Favourite episode! My 5 year old son recognised Jim Norton in the street and said " Hello Len" to him and Jim said " Don't call me Len!"
The meeting of two fine comics👏👏👏
😂
Lol did he actually hated being called len
@@tomfitzpatrick7335 I think he was just copying the speech from " The Plague" and " kicking Bishop Brennan up the ar*e" episodes lol
When did he recognise him in the street?
Ted telling Jack to feck off is one of the best moments in the entire series.
Fekke 😅😊
Bishop Brennan shouting "CRILLY!!" would be a great alarm clock sound.
And the sight of him charging down the hill with his cloak spread like the wings of a devil and his battle cry heralding a mighty swift kick up the arse.
Gets u up on time
🤣🤣🤣🤣complete with the part where he runs up the garden yelling Aaaaaaaaaaaaaggggg
ha ha ha ha ha, Bishop Brennan running up the front lawn with his massive cape going "aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhh" . What a brilliant clip !
CRILLY!
I found it funny why he got out there and not when he was close to the house lol
4:17 cannot ever, ever be unfunny to me. I’ve seen it more times than I’ve had hot dinners and it never fails to crack me up.
The horn beep. The flying cape. The war cry. “CRRRRRILLLYYYYY”
😂😂😂😂
Jim Norton's performance in this episode is sublime. Comedic genius.😂
Bishop Brennan's face after being kicked up the arse is priceless...
I like Ted's face when he's kicking the bishop up the arse.
Just brilliant, crilly 😂
How does he hold the expression for so long without laughing
@@bewd4310 or how bishop Brennan travelled to and from craggy island and the Vatican for hours without changing his facial expression
it's amazing how he made it all the way to Vatican City in that state
"Get me on the first plane back to Ireland. NOW, Goddamnit! What are ye lookin' at, huh?!"
😂
He had a lot of nerve saying that in front of the Catholic Church high ups
-Father!
-Arse.
Best line of this whole episode.
That and "CRILLY"
The fact it was in Frank's normal voice made it even funnier
This episode inspired me to take up painting very crude watercolours. Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse is the joint best episode with Are You Alright There Father Ted IMHO. Comedy platinum.
I wonder who is the lucky bastard that has that 10X10 right now in their house?
The painting of the bishop on the base board got me laughing. 😂
Jim Norton said he can't watch this episode because he had so much fun filming it
It was also filmed two weeks before Dermot Morgan died so it makes it hard for him to watch
@@sfinn85 yeah poor Dermot
Bishop Brennan was only using 5% of his total power
Still makes me laugh even after all these years 😂
I can't believe he pushed over the Pope!!!
@@tomedy_official I doubt he'd be a bishop again
@@tomedy_official Len could have owned all of those Bishops including the Pope 😂
@tomedy_official I would too the raving pedo
I love Jim Norton's acting in this. I especially love the way he portrays Bishop Brennan's self-doubting at 5:52
Maybe he didn't kick me, maybe I didn't assault the pope?
It was a great loss when we lost this gentleman,I watch the box set once a year and it continues to make me laugh 😂
That was the best ever Father Ted episode! Every time I thought about it for days afterwards, I would burst out laughing. My friends must’ve thought that I had gone mad.
When ted screams at jack, kills me every time
Yeah Brennan is funny. I love the way He beckons Ted forward with His index finger, Twirls it to get him to turn around and points. I had teachers like that in school, sarcastic, authoritarian and overbearing. Bloody jesuits.
he could have been POPE Ted, but the feckng Jesuits has it all sown up
@@glen7318 ha ha, quality.
Could have been worse, could have been a Christian Brother...
this was bigger in the UK than Ireland. This was recently rightfully voted best channel 4 comedy ever. Even above Brass Eye
Yes but this is because it was funded by and made for UK channel 4, and not made for Irish channels.
It was huge in Ireland...🤣
Also the Population in the UK is 15/16 X bigger, one of my favourite comedies. Brilliant!
This is literally the biggest thing in Ireland, of any show, music or movie.
@@WakaWaka2468 'school around the corner?'
This is the funniest episode from the funniest comedy show ever made! The fact this video was made 11 years ago and is still being commented on today speaks volumes about how good Father Ted really was!
11 years ago. Try 30…yep timeless. By far my no 1 too
Oh this yt video. Arse! My appologies…girls!
Doesn't matter how many times i watch Father Ted, they still make me piss myself laughing.
Jim Norton
Great actor as Bishop len brennan
Absolute 10 out of 10
Outstanding performance 👏 👌 🙌
Top ten greatest anime battles
I love that pathetic whimper of fear after Ted sees the huge photo.
One the rare moments where Dougal listened to instructions and got the copies of the photo correctly.
Every time he shouts "CRILLY!" a door gets kicked in and he loses more of his outfit. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dermot Morgan , a true comedic genius RIP.
Just noticed the superb squalid details of Jack's room.
03:36 HE DID KICK ME UP THE ARSE!
This is my all time favourite episode. I watch it over and over again!!!!!
Being locked up in father Jack's underpants hamper is a fate worse than death. Personally I'd rather be fed to the dogs. .
4:16 the greatest moment in the history of Irish Television. EVER.
Television!
*The best moment in global television...
it's a British Show
That was a really huge cape/robe. How does he walk in that
@@ajrwilde14 Filmed in Ireland, Irish writers, Irish actors and Irish soundtrack. It’s an Irish Show funded by Channel 4.
Jesus I lost it when Ted started jogging on the spot right before the kick up the arse 😂😂😂😂
4:16 This is what Dan Brown (author of the DaVinci Code) wakes up to everyday
As Bishop Brennan, or Father Ted?
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@michaelwilliamybarra2409 I would imagine he's Father Ted, with angry bishops charging up his lawn for the sheer number of inaccuracies in his books.
They don't quite show it in this edit, but Len busts the front door to pieces when he enters the house to confront Ted and it's simultaneously hilarious while also terrifying.
This is The best episode of any comedy show in history. Just sublime.
When 2025 comes around in the future it'll be this TV Show's 30th Anniversary buy then.
For me , this masterpiece starring Len & his becoming an accidental racist in Are you Alright There , Father Ted , are both joint No1 episodes.
The show just got better and better with each season and thats rare for a comedy show damn shame Dermot passed away after it was finished he could have done so much more after Father Ted
One of the best and funniest shows ever.
The best and funniest show ever!
4:20 is the most epic thing I've ever seen

Me too I went to.a convent school and I find this hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣
Yes me too. 10
Years in an all girls convent school! And I’m Catholic now. Father Ted is absolutely hilarious and wonderful- I so appreciate it!
When I first saw Bishop Brennan running towards the house with the cloak outstretched.....I laughed and laughed,,,,,,,,,,,and I'm still laughing watching it now.
First time I watched this one, I was in Physical pain from laughing so hard, for so long, one of the best comedies ever.
I remember this was the first time I watched Father Ted and I so close to laying on the floor laughing 😂😂😂
Absolutely one of my favourite scenes from anything of all time, the bit just before the kick where ted jumps out the window has me in hysterics every time I see it
If only Len had shown up and Ted was still in drunk psycho scary-enough-to-scare-Jack mode
Shows the quality of the series when Mrs Doyle is in it for about 10 seconds and you still love her!
The funniest kick up the arse ever.
God this is soo funny! been years since i saw it but i was howling the whole time.. What a genius sadly missed!
If Ted had reacted faster, he could've potentially hid better from Bishop Brennan. If I was him, I would've retreated into Father Jack's room and hid literally anywhere, because Father Jack's room is the last place that even in a berserker rage Brennan would never go into willingly.
Jack's Pants Hamper?
@@FourJamLions Nope, Father Jessup's already in there.

Father Ted the greatest sitcom to ever grace the screens.

That closing shot at Ted flying through the air kills me 😂
"Your Grace?"
"Ohn?"
This was my social groups 'who shot JR?' moment when Ted read that forfeit challenge. Needless to say we were excited for this episode and it didn't disappoint.

love it !!!!! Father Ted is a classic....
Don't make them like this anymore
I can randomly quote anything from Father Ted and my wife is in stitches 😂
She’s a keeper!
Ted thinking he had got away with it.Then the end where he gets kicked had me crying.🤣🤣🤣
I don't know why, but the scene of Jim Norton running with his absurdly large cape flapping in the wind terrified me as a kid. It just looked so odd, in a sinister sort of way, to a young bloke watching with his parents.
Classic comedy!
How the heck did it go from this to the dire Mrs brown's boys
Love the way Dermot got his Haughey voice from Scrap Saturday into this episode, i.e. when he's drunk :)
when he tells Dougal not to call him Len
"Don't call me Len, you little prick! I'm a bishop!"
"Oh, right... Well done."
Just absolute genius.
Funnyest part in that episode is when he goes to kick him an brennen turns around an Ted just flops out of the window so funny!
One of the best episodes of Father Ted.
This gets funnier everytime. Totally love father ted
What’s so great is that Dougal was actually pretty smart in this episode.
Even when Brennan came back to confront Ted, he was still able to go along with the plan and convince him otherwise.
It was just the large photos fecked it up, which tbf was Ted's idea.
It was Dougal's stupidity that got them in the situation where Ted had to kick Brennan originally in the previous episode.
Bloody brilliant 😂, i loved this programme, you alright len 😂
As far as I'm concerned, I think God appreciates a good laugh just as much as everyone :D

Amongst the best British comedy sketches of all time.

Gold
Ted was only exaggerating about the 10 by 10 but Dougal actually got it.
I pretty sure Ted meant 10x10 inches not feet.
you just know they had so much fun making this episode!!!
Sadly it was filmed just 2 weeks before Dermot Morgan died :-(
He was a true legend. over acted his parts a little. A little more Thespian style. but a fantastic comedian!@@sfinn85
Loved watching this in the 90s and thought it was hilarious! Since seeing it is on 4OD I watch the odd episode periodically.
Scriptwriter:
"Let's make an episode about one person... kicking another person... up the arse.
That's it.
That's my whole idea."
And yet...
...it's just brilliant!
Dermot Morgan R.I.P
"Come back as soon as you can".....little did they know just how soon it would be.

Giving Bishop Brennan a good old kick up the arse. The end bit ha ha ha.
In an underpants hamper is the best place for a sarcastic priest. 😮😊
0:20 " He did kick me up the erse aargh Crilly "!
This is my favorite scene from the series.
Absolutely amazing comedy. I've watched every episode so many times I can pretty much quote it word for word 😂😂😂
From 4:16 was comedy gold
❤ Legendary 😊
