Sure it's no more mad than all that stuff they taught us back in the Seminary... you know, Heaven and Hell and everlasting life... you're not meant to take it seriously Ted!
The "You let Dougal do a funeral!?!?!?" sequence is one of my favourite all-time lines in all of comedy. Also 'A Christmassy Ted' is required viewing every festive period.
Love the fact that despite priests having absolutely nothing to do with driving the hearse or burying the body, somehow it's still Dougal's fault that the hearse crashed and blew up. XD
I love how his horrifically destructive nature is always hinted at, but never shown in action. Like, what exactly did he do? What actually happened? We'll never know. Bishop Brennan: The Blackrock Incident... The amount of people's lives irreparably damaged! Dougal: They were only nuns.
My head canon that the dead man was in a big “dublin” mafia type gang (there was a lot of it in late 90s Ireland) and his Gang where attending his funeral Rival gang members where on vacation to the island happened to walk past as Dougal said something informing the rival gangsters that the rival gang was attending this funeral and and he accidentally started a gang war leading to the car being fire bombed by the rival gang. This scene is still hallarious and one of the best gags ever
It would be brilliant for Hat Trick to get the stage show happening, somehow, some way. There's so many people who would love to see it happen. Father Ted is still massively popular, and known the world over! It's a lost opportunity. 🥺

Dougal wearing a biretta implies that he probably did a pre-1970 Tridentine requiem instead - which would explain why everything caught fire - or at least, this is what the current Pope thinks will happen...
Don't know the show. I stumble upon clips, from time to time. Not sure if it ran in the U.S. Will say, though. I've seen that lady in a number of these and she's a genius physical comic. Those are S class pratfalls and writhes, man.

Father Ted was one of the finest comedies ever aired on British television. Sadly now tainted forever because of its creator and writer's obsession with transgender women.
He didn't have an obsession. Just spoke the truth, like JK Rowling did. Let me spell it out for you: there are only 2 biological sexes, no matter how you dress or what operations you have. Nothing wrong with either choice.
A bewildered Dougal managing to creep into Ted's tormented head has to be one of the funniest things ever.
So true 😂

Dougal being an awful priest who barely knows the first thing about church doctrine is one of the best recurring jokes in Father Ted.
Makes people wonder HOw he got into being a priest in the first place? Some sort of raffle?

I always theorised he got drunk during a night out with his friends and woke up in the priesthood
Dougal even struggles in dream sequence...what writing we had .❤
Father ted had cutaways???? thought only Family Guy had them??? Ted is better then Family Guy but thats my opinion😀
ye we had a great writer now blackballed for wrong think

My theory: The man standing with Dougal was actually the deceased. Dougal, in his incompetence, accidentally performed a resurrection, and this unnatural ritual unleashed terrible energies which created the carnage seen.
Considering it's Father Dougal? That would not surprise me!
Plausible. Read from the Necronomicon instead of the Bible? That's Dougal to the T
And he didn’t seem at all happy of how his funeral turned out thanks to Dougal.
My theory? This scene was funnier without this explanation.
@@Grandmastergav86shut up
A young Ed Byrne saying "ya bunch of wankers" on the phone is such an underrated moment

You let Dougal do a funeral should become an idiom for a foolish decision.
On the mantelpiece there is a Christmas card of Santa washing his boxers, while Rudolph and Dasher are watching, I had that exact same card.
