The EuroVision Song Contest Hit (?) "My Lovely Horse" | Father Ted S2 E5 | Absolute Jokes

- Father Ted and Dougal enter the 1996 Eurosong Contest by writing new words for a Norwegian entry and trying to pass off as their own.
Beloved sitcom focused on three priests living on Craggy Island, a remote island off the west coast of Ireland. Father Ted Crilly is sent to the island as punishment for using charitable funds for a holiday in Las Vegas, but his true punishment comes in the form of Father Dougal Maguire and Jack Hackett, one a fresh-faced naive young priest, and the other a foul-mouthed, rage-filled alcoholic. Mrs Doyle is their nosy housekeeper, who makes plentiful pots of tea and never takes `no' for an answer. Despite their isolation, the priests get into their fair share of mildly sinful, entirely madcap adventures.

"Oh God Ted, it's a terrible story..."
HAS A MASSIVE SMILE ON HIS FACE.
I love how "Oh right, yeah" is just Dougal's catchphrase.
Or "what's that now, Ted?"
We want to avoid the whole gray area of actually being in love with the horse.
...but the end of her tail! What a beautiful piece of tail!
and that was even before Kenneth Pinyan
I love how Ted is secretly the most greedy and scheming man
It's a funny little thing about Sitcoms that I've recently taken interest in. Generally speaking, most of the protagonists are TERRIBLE people to facilitate conflict, and conflict resolution. Not every show does it, or even in the exact same way, but there's an overwhelming amount of it. Zack Morris Is Trash is an amazing channel that highlights this from the show "Saved By The Bell".
@@tyleralberty4993 Hence Zach was my favorite. sometimes bad people are funny.
@@tyleralberty4993 Always has been. "I heard your wife is sick, is she well. / Why do you wish ill on me?" --Roman sitcom
@@tyleralberty4993 very true. the whole point of Seinfeld's final episode was to highlight just how awful all 4 of them were as people.
Rick and Morty - rick is an ass;
Bojack Horseman - same deal but more nuanced;
Friends - most of the friends are pretty bad people;
Black books - Bernard is Bernard;
IT crowd - roy is shallow and very repressed;
Everybody loves Ray - Ray is pretty self centred and ignorant;
King of Queens - that guy is always lying to his wife and doing whatever he does;
Becker - need i say more;
Itd probably be harder to think of a sitcom where all the characters are fantastic people 😅
@@swine13 Even Kryten in Red Dwarf aspired to lie and be dishonest...his favorite traits in humans! Lol!
I wonder how much fun they had when filming this show. It really is sad Dermot passed at such a young age.
Frank Kelly (Father Jack) died due to complication of Parkinson's disease, on the eighteenth anniversary of Dermot Morgan's death.
Wow that is mind blowing, I never knew they both passed on the same day
"That's a very defeatist attitude!"
"Oh, right, sorry about that"
I always think of that scene when im getting a bit defeatist , it snaps me right out of it!
What I love about this is how many people in Ireland loved the Eurovision in the 80s and 90s and yet they satirized the shit out of it anyway
I live in Sweden, and they have been trying to pump this empty ballon increasingly each year. Haven't watched that horror show for 15 years, and seriously wonder if all grown ups who watch it really enjoy it, or perhaps somewhere realise it's bollocks.
Man, the writers of this show are masters of their craft.
As a massive Eurovision fan I watch this episode the night before the final every year. Still incredibly relevant today 😂
It's actually more relevant today than it's ever been, eh? ;)
@@florenna how so...?
I'm from Finland and honestly, you have to have a sense of humor about the contest.
I hope you're having fun watching it tonight!
if u watch eurovision and actually like it, you're a certified wanker
I love that the both had exactly the same dream 😂 🐎
God I used to have My Lovely Horse as my ringtone for ages!
really
Renzsu really ?
@@irishking1414 Yes, really.
@@Renzsu What change?
respect!
Ted: "Dougal, don't take it so seriously. It's just a bit of fun." Next scene ~ Armageddon
JUST PLAY THE FUCKING NOTE
@@rhino8817 The first one?
NO NOT THE FIRST ONE
@@rhino8817 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ankla1995 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"take this lump of sugar baby, you know you want it" 😆😆😆
1:07 - 2:05 Mrs Doyle's 180 there is priceless! "I don't think I've ever heard anything more beautiful in all my life....... I don't think they'd let you play carnegie hall with a voice like that..."
...running around with a man on your back like a train in the night! 🐎 lmao
This is the best episode of a sitcom that has ever been made.
That video, pure comedy gold..every detail, every time Dougal looks directly at the camera..amazing.
The My Lovely Horse video actually parodies a real Eurovision song, practically shot for shot. ("The Fr Ted video was "almost a direct copy" of 'That’s What Friends Are For', by Irish band The Swarbriggs, according to Frontman Tommy Swarbrigg").
6:21 LOL The scene which Ted swears his mouth off is truly one of the funniest moments in Father Ted.
Prob in the top 5 moments, of any comedy series, ever... 💕😄💕😄💕
RIP, Legend.
6:28 “NO, NOT THE *****NG FIRST ONE!!!”
@@kareemhaidar2003THE ****ING FIRST ONE IS ALREADY ****ING DOWN!!!
I get this song stuck in my head for days.. My lovely horse you're a pony no more!
even weirder because ponies never turn into horses, its like saying a dwarf grew up to be tall. just sayin.
Yeah, foal would’ve been the right word to use. Never mind, it’s immortalised in history now.
@@Bongwater33 it's as if they wrote it like that deliberately, to make a joke or something
It's been in my head all day, and that's alright.
I just love how Dougle's 'record collection' consists of ONE record that he'd never turned over until just now.. by accedent! 🤣🤣 The silly humour in this show is still unmatched!!
I have watched this episode dozens of times over the years and I still laugh out loud.
Love Father Ted show, I am so glad I found it.
"hold on I can get this"
The board with the songs on it at 16:55 is so underrated
I never noticed it! Thanks for pointing it out!
We'll be celebrating their music - in secret.
Dougai: Take this lump sugar baby, you know you want it! bwahahahaaz!
Those awkward gaps before the last word of each line really make the song.
I think you mean it really makes the
Song
Just play the f***ing notes!
No, not the f***ing first one!
i didn't even know, that the british have to bleep out swearing on TV as well. i thought only those puritan fundamentalists from the colonies do that.
@@montanus777 It's outside the watershed period, they don't have to. But in a way, it's funnier with the bleeps.
@@montanus777 Usually we don't, but Graham Linehan often uses it for comic effect (such as the "profanity bleeper button" in the IT Crowd and the jackhammer and the soundproof door in Black Books). Considering there is plenty of uncensored swearing in other episodes of Father Ted I imagine that the censoring is also used here as a comedy device rather than because of broadcasting requirements.
Isn't that part based off of a famous rock band's recording session? I think it was the Troggs.
Father Jack shooting the guitar is like Elvis shooting the TV when Robert Goulet was on.
"It was the same note over and over again"
Watching in 2019.
Strange… our local priest carries a sawn-off shotgun too.
Filton Kingswood I wish every priest was like that here in New York
that would make a great anime
...I suppose a sermon and a smile aren't enough any more to gather the sheep //-))
ours does just for the occasional wedding.
Must be in Belfast you must !
we gotta lose that sax solo
And bring you to the horse dentiiiiist
That lines always make me cry!
I genuinely love the(dream version of )the song and often come here just to play it.sounds like a forgotten Joe Meek tune-especially with that wig out at the end.
Good lord. "shave a bollock"... I've been saying that for years and had no idea where the hell I picked it up... Watched this show when it first came out and then must have subconsciously picked it up. Funny thing is, this is one of my favorite shows of all time, I'd put it and the IT crowd up there just below Monty Python... And I've watched this episode, God, 20 times all the way through, at the very least. Only just now for whatever reason realized that he said shave a bollock and that's where it came from. Totally inconsequential stupid thing I know, but my mind is blown. How did I not notice it any of those other times?
I was annoyed by something and trying not to swear in front of an elderly relative and started using the term "fupping" lol.
12:07 scared the horseapples out of me when I first saw it! Still one of the funniest moments of the entire series, to me at least.
'like a train in the night, like a train in the night'
rands999 hold on I can get this
Father Jack shoots the guitar - lol
The music video dream deserves to go down as one of the funniest scenes of all time. It was funny 25 years ago and it’s funny today
I like that father Ted actually always had a guitar
"I think you should just go on now and count your sour grapes before they hatch."
the cinema manager from the Passion of St Tibulus is Fred Rickwood the presenter of the Eurosong Contest
I wondered where I had seen him before!
"You'd better count yer sour grapes... before they hatch! " 🤣🤣
"Vin Hoogen and the Hoogennotes"😆😆😆😆😆😆
...actually, fathers Ted and Dougal's song has two notes, not just one...a descending minor third in the end of each sentence, which provides the song with some harmony and dimension...I'm sure the judges took that into account...don't let father Ted's guitar sounding like it had 13 strings and the jury pushing the church off the train of the European song contest fool you...
A horse's fetlocks are actually part of its leg, where the ankle sticks out a bit behind. Not sure how they can blow in the breeze 😄
Maybe mixed it up w human fetlocks
"Cold Porter, George and Irene Gershwin , Chris DeBurgh" ...Funny for several reasons, including the fact that Dermot Morgan and Chris DeBurgh were good friends in real life.
I prefer Hot Porter.
I prefer Icey T and Scoopy Scoopy Dogg Dogg. As an American, I always wonder if they ever heard this joke.
They were so bad you could hear the stomp of their shoes on the stage as they fled lol
Dick and Cyril's song was actually pretty good.
So was my lovely horse
But I still think that My Lovely Horse deserved the win.
Father Dick, is that yourself?
Awful. But... My Lovely Horse...? Ahhh yessss.... Se manifique!
Edit: (spell?? Lmbo)
Ireland needs to find a new "Father Ted" for their Eurovision song contest 2020 in the Netherlands next year. They had a wonderful record of past wins but it's been pretty dismal of late. Interestingly, this episode is a bit prophetic in that there is a current movement trying to get more public involvement in selecting Ireland's entry.
Lol. 😀 I gave up watching after Bucks Fizz won.......could not top that!
‘The drums of Africa are calling me home by Sean O’Brien’ would have won if Ted and Dougal hadn’t performed
Dougal “half one, and the competition is on in” ...
Ted “May”
Such a great line!
Scoopy Scoopy Dog Dog
Renzsu Classic
ICT 😂😂😂
@@magnusnihil4316 *Icy-T, it's not an icp reference, they were like 15 when this came out.
@Eleni 1979 I agree you're not sure what I'm talking about at all. ICY-T is a reference to Ice-T, unlike the prior poster suggested. That's it. And yes, ICP existed. Congrats on your terrible taste.
@Eleni 1979 This is what you concern yourself with in your life? That ICP's age wasn't accurately portrayed in a youtube comment where their precise ages weren't actually the point? Like most people who've encountered you, count me among those who pity you.
The part in the video where Dougal holds the mike upside down kills me every time
"It's a terrible tune, it's the same note over again," said nobody to Taylor Swift.
Every aspiring DJ should know if you really want to get a party thumpin' you need to bust out "My Lovely Horse" to get everyone to the dance floor.
Anyway Father, I'm really looking forward to your entry 🤣
😁💜 I once had an Irish boyfriend who spoke like Fred. Thank God he was a good kisser, as could not understand a word he was saying!
Did he say "That's the bizniss, geddem out the doors an giddyap!"
@@bootstrapperwilson7687 cheerio!
"Like a train in the .....Hang on I can get this"...
Laughed when he said, "the church used to think that the Earth was flat" I'm not laughing now...
“I SAID GET THE GUITAR!!!!!” 😂😂😂😂😂
"First time I've heard it anyway"
dude
LOL 6:10 - 6:50 is some of the greatest TV ever made.
I agree.
Best episode ever of one of the funniest shows ever....IMHO.
"Irlandia, nurda purdes"
"Ireland, nothing"
6:21 - 6:53
My last two brain-cells negotiating
I love the swearing bedroom scene
You made the exact same comment a year before this one, lol. You must REALLY love that scene...
Rugged Island song is just classic Ireland Eurosong entry.
My dad used to refer to my hair as fetlocks when I was younger (cause it was so tangled,) because of this song 😭
He's quite a catch. :)
"Shave a bullock".
I really enjoy Craggy Island's entry haha! I'd listen to it if they released it.
Why would anyone dislike this?
6:20
this genuinely is me when im deep down into a project and my brain just shuts the fuck down
i love when Ted starts swearing 6:21
I'm quite fond of technical metal and I thought the horse song was actually kinda techy. It's not easy to nail those changes in time.
I SAID GET THE GUITAR!!! LMAO
What I thought.....
My Lovely Horse should be the national anthem of Ireland
"You Dirty English Bastards" by The Hairy Bowsies (?) It's a bit blurry if anyone can help.
The best thing about Dougal is when he goes off about the beast of craggy island:)
Why would you put an ad IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SONG?! BLASPHEMY
My favorite Eurovision eve tradition!
Do they play it on the television or do people just find their own copies for fun?
This is my fave episode
Yes mine too just so whacky
Im really looking forward to your entry!😂😂😂
Bit like this years eurovision, "Great Britain, no points"
......It's more that we're friends with the horse
Sea La La La La La La La La La La La La
by the Death Pigs
I was looking forward to The Grand Girls- didn't they win it a couple of years later with 'If I could wear my hat like my heart'?? 😂
"Anyone would think you wanted Ireland to LOSE the next Eurosong contest!"
"HA HA HA HA HA HA!" :)
That chap playing the host was also the theater manager in season one, was he not.
I believe it was.
Yes I doo say ol chap
Their song brings to mind My Pal Foot Foot by the Shaggs.
Where have I heard that before? Its painfully familiar but I cant pick it
6:21 Oh geesh, i have a pity for dougal. And it was shocking to see Ted like that
I die to watch this series again in 2021..please
why oh God born me too early..
Love this show so much:)
4:00
I SAID GET THE GUITAR
:D
My fave Father Ted episode 😍
Brilliant, thanks so much for posting!
3:34... BRO!!!
This is the reason why we have history of the fire saga
Father Dick has a great singing voice though
I really appreciated that reference at 10:34.
I didn’t get ut
@@jacbuscus3354 It's a pretty specific reference that probably only people from England/Ireland would get. Even then they'd have to be old enough to remember the 80s. The song they're referencing is Vienna, by Ultravox. It's just kinda a bizzare synth-pop song and the joke is just the same absurdity youd expect from this wonderfully absurd show.
Wasn't there really someone from an 80s English new wave band who became a priest? From Fine Young Cannibals, I think? He was on Would I Lie to You.
@@blackhawks81H Thank you for explaining that! The My Lovely Horse video is itself a parody of 'That’s What Friends Are For', by Irish band The Swarbriggs. Tommy Swarbrigg said he was good friends with Dermot Morgan, too.
I didn't steal it! That melody was just *resting* on my set list.
Icy-T and Scoopy Scoopy Dog Dog
Scoopy scoopy Dog Dog = Snoopy Snoop Doggy Dog, and Icy-T = Ice Cube + ??
@@gabrielesolletico518 yep, snoop dog and ice cube
