That’s a satire about how Irish people must never ever show the world that something is wrong. They always pretend in front of the priests. I thought this was just a joke until I married into the Irish and saw it with my own eyes. Unless it’s just my in laws. Like, my Father in Law had a heart attack and refused to call an ambulance because the neighbours would know somethings wrong level kind of stuff.
Best moment of Father ted was when Ted said "I'll just give him a call" and it cuts to the car, and while he's fumbling for the phone (which is in the footwell), graham linehan drives off a huge cliff and is impaled on a fifty-foot tall granite phallus.
Do not believe that some of these comedy scenes never happen in real life in Ireland, because they do ! I was driving back from Connemara to the Dublin ferry, after a great weeks fishing one May. It was the early hours of the morning but just daylight and in Galway a car past me going the other way and there was a totally naked man spreadeagled across the bonnet ! In one of the small towns on route there was a Garda car parked with two Gards in, so I stopped to report it. One of them told me not to worry, he’d just roll off when he’d had enough 🤣🤣
The priests house is actually not on an island it's in the Burren National Park. The owners have a charity swear tin by the gate for visitors who may have a sudden urge to say FECK or ARSE. It's quite a bleak place.
A bit 'arsh in your judgement there , but it was well mean ,I'm shoor...the show could be a bit moronic but it had good bits , the housekeeper had her moments...so did the 2 main characters , the drunken one a bore...I only saw bits of it at odd times ...the first 2 times they showed two priests capering about in their drawers...couldn't see the point they were making...in short , a bore
Okay, so here it is 1:30 a.m. and I'm trying desperately to smother my guffaws but any minute Security will pound on my door...these are Wonderful, so therapeutic 😁
Imagine what would have happened if there'd been a comedy series about an island with imams behaving in strange ways. There would have been a lot of dead people in the entertainment business.
I attended a Catholic Mass about 10 years ago, held by an old Irish priest. The second he opened his mouth, Father Ted popped into my head. I giggled uncontrollably for the next hour. The more I tried to suppress it, the worse it got. The missus was mad as hell with me............
I heard a German friend describing his catholic priest having a known & long standing (should I put it that way?) affair with a local prostitute. Anyway, it was so blatant & hypocritical it became a 'final straw' & enough to break away from his faith. When I presented him with a boxed set of Father Ted he thought it wonderful, his wife's favourite character was Dougal & their favourite episode was about the priest hiding war criminals. 🙂
@@stevebaker6149 Nah. Doesn't matter how you feel about trans people, obsessing over them and going out of your way to attack them at any opportunity the way Linehan has actually does make you a shit person. His wife actually left him over it.
Omg! This is some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen. The drunk priest with his hair on fire and the one screaming nuns! nuns! Did they show these on PBS in the U.S? Cause I feel like I've seen these or something similar to Father Ted years ago on PBS in Chicago. So funny.
Mrs Doyle falling off the window sill is an absolute comic masterpiece.😅 And Pauline Mclyne is a wonderful actor.
Her timing of switching off the light is delicious!
Also love the fact that she is a huge animal lover and is totally against Greyhound racing. She's just brilliant!
Pauline doesn't get enough recognition
"Small...Far away" gets me every tine.
One of my favourite comedies , along with Blackadder .
Two low budget golden comedies - and Only Fools and Horses
One of the best comedies still stands the test of time
A work of comic genius.
Dougals rant about the beast is oscar-worthy
4 arses
Frank Kelly was brilliant as fr Jack 👌

My all time favourite gag is in the caravan: " these cows are small, those ones outside ar far away"😅
Kills me the man and wife who are so sweet one minute and trying to kill each other the next

Absolutely real too.
This is so funny. I remember watching it all the time on the tv 😂
It's still showing now most nights
Mrs. Doyle is AMAZING lady ♥
It never gets stale. Best comedy series bar none. 🤣👍
Mrs Doyle's tumbles crack me up. She's brilliant !
You should hear her rant about dirty books!..She broke Father Ted out of his character, he had to push her through the door!
I *love* this show. At least as much as I love the Young Ones and Blackadder.
What a show best comedy ever made takes me back to my youth. I'll sleep in the ditch 😂😂
The real test of a good comedy, is does it make you laugh so hard, it brings tears to your eyes? ... I can confirm, it did! 👍🤣
The best bits of father Ted? Ah go on 😜
Feck
@@ED-209UHD yeah Jeff feck guitar player 😁
@@stuartryan610 arse 🤣
Hilarious pity we have no more of this. Comedy gold.
The kids in the creche, so funny 😊
‘We have to lose that sax solo!’
Everytime you re watch episodes you see and hear new bits of comedy genius that you missed before. Amazing show
What a wonderful show 😂
The best is whenFather ted is doing an impression of chinese people and then they suddenly appear at the window!!
I hope that sanity is restored soon, and we can all go to Father Ted: The musical.
Best moment of Father ted was when Ted said "I'll just give him a call" and it cuts to the car, and while he's fumbling for the phone (which is in the footwell), graham linehan drives off a huge cliff and is impaled on a fifty-foot tall granite phallus.
Father Hackett hair piece on fire..
Like the disciples at Pentecost..
Yes, and Father Hackett quietly continues laffing his ass off🤣🤣🤣
Father Jack making that sentence lol
The Chinese impression and the Hitler impression (not shown here) are my favourite funny moments in this show.. Oh and the field day event also
I hear you’re a racist now father 😂
You said you'd give it up for our lord
ARNOLD!? whose ARNOLD!? LOL
Can’t wait to buy a ticket for Father Ted the Musical
That opening scene with his hair on fire!.
😅😂😅😂🤣🤣🤣
Loved when Mrs. Doyle fell down the stairs and got cured, Also when she tests the sandwiches.

Nuns REVERSE REVERSE REVERSE !! 🤣🤣😭

FECK .. DRINK!..

The guy playing Father Jack is a brilliant actor.. He's totally nothing like that in reality
He died some time ago. 57-year husband, dad of 7, grandpa of 17 - Frank Kelly.

Yes,life in the far west of Ireland, is abit like Craggy Island, I had watched all the series before I lived there for eight years,really miss it!
REALLY?
David Kelly...genius.
Frank Kelly....perhaps!
Father Jack 😂😂😂😂 Nuns, don't tell me am still on that Fecking Ireland 😂
Island.
I loved Mrs Doyle aussie
Dermo and Pauline were great on scrap Saturday
Still the best comedy.
A very funny sitcom. Fond memories.
just the theme tune itself takes me back to my childhood. legendary program this!
The best ever.🤣
Mrs Doyle was the best!
It's got four arses, take note.!

Dungle: I just remembered Alien's is on after the News 😂😂
they missed its the directors cut!
Love the cows one

They should've included them in Father Jack's "tomb." Every episode was hilarious.
Brilliant 😂😂😂
The cows!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!
Brilliant
Edinburgh fringe stuff..... total crap, this,.... comedy perfection. Graham , the mass are with you mate!

I took a boxed set of father Ted to Germany for friends, lapsed catholics, they loved it. Dougal a particular favourite.
@@JA-qi1fb Yep, totally funny and not at all offensive to decent Catholics.....
@@petew8388 Agreed. 😉
@@petew8388catholic priests (not all) done alot of bad things, song for a raggy boy, my father seen it first hand, bad times
How did Jack ever get accepted into the church.?
Okay, so here it is 1:30 a.m. and I'm trying desperately to smother my guffaws but any minute Security will pound on my door...these are Wonderful, so therapeutic 😁
Graham Norton said it was like a documentary of Ireland 😅 and I’m Irish 😂
Feckin' hilarious!🤣🤣
2:42 - my fav.
☮
Bishops love Sci-Fi!
Naked man on the car..
Who was the naked guy on the car? Im sure hes quite a big irish comedian now?
The Milkman episode was something and I liked the racist episode too. 😂
Imagine what would have happened if there'd been a comedy series about an island with imams behaving in strange ways. There would have been a lot of dead people in the entertainment business.
Calm down and stop the click-bait it is not a good look
Father Ted
Imagine wasting the one life we are given by becoming a priest, monk, or nun of any religion. So sad.--
Arnold who's Arnold?
Will there be a worst moments of Father Ted ?
😂❤❤❤
🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:30 Is that Ray Stevenson?
💘
Drink …
The worst part is they'll never show this on the telly like mind your language
It's shown fairly regularly on TV in the UK
Best factual comment on the whole of TH-cam by the OP ... 🙄🙄🙄
They show it on irish TV quite regularly
Where the bells are you? It's hardly ever off television!
South Africa

No subs in Russian
No. Putins not invaded there - yet.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
This was a great show.. Really funny I loved it.. All except the opening and closing music I really can't stand that
ha ha not funny
...
THOSE WOMEN WERE IN THE NIP!!!
People who think that this is funny probably have no problem putting a bomb on Omagh high street ...
Being utterly depraved as a precondition ...
My sister in law watched a whole episode of Father Ted then said, "It's terrible what people will laugh at".
Evil woman.
@@TillyOrifice So she's not Irish?
@@thesep1967 She does claim to be.
@@TillyOrifice Surely a changeling!
Stupid people will always type.
Absolutely hilarious,Nuns,Nuns reverse,reverse haha

Did he give good Mass? Or was he ready for St. Clabbert's?
Don't blame ye, Toby! I would've done the same😂
Ahahahahahahahahaaaaaaah! You're not 'Toby' at all. You're Linehan! Thanks for making me lose my drrrrink.

One of the best comedies going. Shame it had to end
I'm ok with it ending, better to end on a high than to drag it out over years and years getting less funny (looking at you Simpsons)
Never seen Father Ted until now... hilarious clips... worthy of further viewing... thanks !!!
Really? How was the rock?
😂😂😂😂@@eclectica1
Graham Linehan is an absolute genius who has brought so much laughter to the world with Father Ted and the IT Crowd.
Also, Black Books.
@@dawnadriennetaylor970another absalute gemm.
Shame he turned out to be such a horrible person
@@caitthenerd7470 100% wrong.

I have no problem watching this in Canada :)

Back whe Jacobs Creek was the fancy stuff
Mrs Doyle waiting in the dark in case someone fancies a cup of tea. For three years apparently.
Best comedy series ever
