Dude, you should do yourself a favour and watch each series of Father Ted from the beginning. Every episode is hilarious, a contender for the greatest ever comedy.
Father Ted is set on tiny windswept Craggy Island off the Irish west coast, which for no adequately explored reason now has a Chinatown - the whole show is great but this episode, "Are You Right There, Father Ted?" is magnificent
Maybe the writers were making a social comment on how the Chinese and Vietnamese communities in Ireland had grown so much in the 90s and demonstrated that Irish people were just as capable of being racist as any other Europeans.
@@samtagg8754 What's been done to Linehan has absolutely nothing to do with being racist.. but your right.. the left does have a problem with racism.. all that pitiful self loathing and anti whiteness.🤣
@@samtagg8754yes it is actually. You don’t see the right banging on about race ever. You don’t hear us telling people our privilege makes us better than them. We don’t see colour at all on the right.
Great upload KS. It was an Irish/British famous tv show called Father Ted where the worst priests were banished to a small tiny island with only a few people living there, and where the priests couldn't do any damage. Father Ted was sent there due to his gambling and Dougal was sent there because he was too stupid to be allowed to preach anywhere else and Father Jack was an alcoholic. The tv show was about their everyday life, which usually ended up in turmoil, a very funny tv show which is well worth a watch. Love from Ireland
It's 100% Irish. The only English actor was Frank Kelly and he had lived in England since childhood but his family were Irish as you may be able to tell by the name. Was a massive hit in Britain for sure though. Also in Australia and New Zealand.
@serendpity3478 they refused to make the show in Ireland as it was blasphemy and is why It was made by channel 4, a British broadcasting channel and entirely funded by them. So in that sense it is a british tv show.
For context: Ireland is a very largely white part of the world. Dublin is the only real multicultural melting pot (a few other parts have increased in diversity in the last 20 years or so but mostly just larger towns etc). But generally it's a very standardly Irish white population, most of whom have had had families there for generations. Other races and ethnicities are even more rare once you go into the more rural communities. Father Ted is set on a very rural Irish community on a tiny rugged island off the mainland of Ireland...so the chances of anybody living there from a non-white Irish background is very unlikely. It makes the sudden appearance of the Asian family right outside their window all the more entertaining. It also explains Father Ted's shocked voice when he says "There's a Chinatown on Craggy Island?"
Not for long with all the illegals from the middle east.. remember when Obama dropped all them bombs in Syria and Afghanistan? Ireland will no longer be white soon
Every single one of the episodes in the six series of Father Ted was an absolute classic. I'm sure there would have been more but for the sad and untimely death of the main man Dermot Morgan.
Three seasons and one Christmas special. There was never a plan to keep going after season three. The writers were out of ideas for the characters. There's a documentary called small far away the world of father Ted. It's well worth a watch.
@@paul-o1 The last episode of series 6 originally ended with Father Ted's death, but the producers removed that bit at the last minute when Dermot died for real shortly before the episode aired.
@@Busterkeatonrules there's was never six sieres of father Ted. I'm Irish and have watched the show countless times. There was only ever three seasons or series. Watch the documentary small far away the world of father Ted. It's a documentary with the writers and some of the cast. They explain it all.
British/Irish comedy takes no prisoners. They have a laugh at everything and do not cancel each other for it, as long as the intent is just human comedy.
There's a pretty substantial cut between Ted leaving the room and Ted coming outside, so word doesn't really spread THAT quickly. But honestly? The idea that it did is even funnier. The show as a whole is a masterpiece.
I live in a small town. Once, I sat on a bench for a 15 min break to drink a pepsi and eat some mystery meat from the corner shop. Fifteen mins later, the co worker I had to meet up with for the next job remarked 'one of my friends told me they saw you sitting on a bench at the corner, did you have a break?' - small towns are just a hive of curtain twitching, grass combing gossips.
Part of the fun of this ep is that this based on an island off the west coast of Ireland. The idea someone from China would ever even get there let alone there be a new 'Chinatown' area of the island is ridiculous in itself
30 years old, been watching it since I was a child and I still laugh out loud every time. Father Ted is a classic Dermot Morgan left a lasting legacy of laughter with that show.
The village I stayed in on my last visit was in Tipperary and I had to get there by taxi from Carrick on Suir. When I arrived at Carrick a couple of locals asked if I needed assistance. When I told them my destination they couldn't believe it: "You're going WHERE?" It didn't take long to see where the writers of Father Ted drew their inspiration.
If I remember correctly, he passed away the day after the filming of the 3rd and final series had ended or something like that. It was like this show was his purpose in life.
You have to watch the "Speed 3" episode from Father Ted...its so funny and clever. Love Father Ted! The star of the show passed away after the wrap party at the conclusion of the 3rd season...so sad, he was so talented and funny
The clip skips a scene. The cut is where Father Ted races out of the front room, to him calmly closing the door behind him. The scene should have been him racing out the door to try and ease the situation, with the remainder of the clip occuring just a bit afterwards.
The guy who wrote it, Graham Linehan, has been drummed out of show business for his trans views since this. Father Ted, The IT Crowd and writing credits on Brasseye and The Day Today among others.
Glad to see you getting into British comedy! This show was made by Graham Lineman. He made another great one called IT Crowd. In my opinion it's much better. I'd love to see you react to episode "A Work Outing" or "Are We Not Men" or any episode will do.
@@dougoneill7266 RTE were afraid of a "Belt of the Crozier." Father Brian D'Arcy didn't like the show. In another show, The Live Mike, Dermot Morgan portrayed him as Father Trendy.
@@petergibson2318 Not true. Linehan has said on several occasions that he never even pitched it to RTE. He wanted to go to a bigger audience. Pitching it to Channel 4 gave both Irish and British people the chance to see it.
Ironically you mentioned Mexicans. There was a video posted on u tube a while ago where someone dressed as a Mexican in California and everyone called him racist. He then did exactly the same thing in Mexico and they loved it and consider it a compliment to their traditional dress and culture.
I cannot speak for all Mexicans, but if you walked arround with a sobrero, a big mustache and a llate full of tacos, typically no old school latino would get offended, especially if you offer some tacos. Old school latinos tend to have very thick skin and have zero problem with humor. Hell my tios would absolutely love it.
When you do watch the entire series, you'll see the outside of the house where the priests lived - that house is located in the middle of the Burren National Park, and is known as The Father Ted house. It's privately owned.
🤣🤣 one of my favourite episodes. We quote it regularly in our family. You should watch the whole episode, there's a lot more to it. In fact just watch the whole of Father Ted.
Father Ted, brilliant series from the 1990s. Made by the British Channel 4, despite being set in Ireland - Irish broadcasting monolith of the time RTE wouldn't touch a series that sent up the clergy. The brainchild of Dermot Morgan who played Father Ted, and who sadly died very suddenly the day after they finished filming the third season of the series. You should look for scenes with the housekeeper, and with Father Jack.
Yeah dude, i would highly recommend watching full episodes of Father Ted to anyone, its a brilliant comedy and parody of life in Ireland, and will give you an good understanding of Irish humor, which i think many people around the world, dont really get it sometimes, and confuse with stupidity, when its really irony and a bit of sarcasm, or just saying the ludicrous because its funny in the moment
Yes, I love that sketch. I laughed even harder when he leaves the house, the fact that the news travels so fast. Another sketch I love is 'Women, Know Your Limits' by Harry Enfield. I hope you get to watch that one too! Another comedian you might like is Tommy Cooper, his sketch - 'Flower Pot'. Another sketch you might like is from a TV show called Only Fools and Horses, the sketch from it is called - When Del Boy went to the doctors. Another is The Two Ronnies - My Blackberry Is Not Working. Another, The IT Crowd, the sketch - Cradle of Filth (Cradle of Filth is actually a real metal band), I hope you get to see them.
Just watch the entire show from episode 1 to the last one in their entirety. They are hilarious. You're missing so much if you only watch a few clips. You haven't even seen father jack Hackett or Mrs Doyle yet. Even the side characters will make you cry laughing. The whole show is insane, and will keep you laughing till you can't breathe. Also try the league of gentlemen. From the start. Not just clips. Real black (as in dark / skewed) British humour at its best...
Father Ted went in on everyone. They even had a lot Catholic/Protestant jokes in it. Definitely not the safest thing to talk about. For context on the episode, there is an actual Chinatown there, which is really strange considering how remote the place is. They thought to include the newest additions 😂
