"I'm a bishop". "Oh. Well done." Gets me every time!
Same
i just adore the part before that
Dougal: "Hello Len"
Brennan: "Don't call me Len ya little prick!"
The actor who plays Bishop Brennan still hasn't seen this episode as it was the last time he worked with Dermot Morgan (Father Ted) before he died the day after filming finished for Series 3 and it is still too hard for him to watch.
makadeni123 I know I shouldn't laugh but damn I am going to hell for laughing.
makadeni123 this I know from personal experience. Though it would be sods law that we go into lockdown and the weather goes great.
He says that on the documentary and gets choked up and close to tears when he says it. So sad.
Lv. 100 Mafia Boss Kaxu We know how that’s turned out! They ‘re seriously talking about a drought!
@@happiestaku6646 it’s fine, hells for the fun people
I like to think that somebody, somewhere, has that 10' x 10' in pride of place.
Lol typical dougal 😂😂
I always loved the moment Bishop Brennan's cape turns into demonic looking wings!....Another good episode is The Passion of Saint Tibulus...careful now!!..
Batman: The Dark Knight *42
Down with this sort of thing!
CCCRRRIIIILLLLLLYYYYYY!!!!!!
“.....nooo. Billy’s is rounder at the top.”
@@GrilloTheFlightless That wasn't a banana, Dougal.
31:52 Father Dougal Maguire calling Bishop Brennan 'Len' never gets old! 😂
Fun Fact - Jim Norton (Bishop Brennan) has never watched this episode, due to the pain of Dermot Morgan's(Father Ted) passing only a day after the final episode was filmed. Really touching.
Well, it's a fact but I dunno how fun it is :(
Father Ted is the greatest thing ever to come out of Irish actors. No question.
Black Books is a close second, Dylan Moran is amazing
It made me think about the absurdity of religion, besides the many laughters.
Domhnall Gleeson came out of Brendan Gleeson. He's pretty good.
Then watch Love/hate
Hasim KILIC .... then you need to watch ‘Monty Pythons Life of Brian’
My favourite sitcom of all time I've seen every episode countless times n know every punch line yet still laugh everytime an absolute classic
The shooting the Italian reference was a, contemporary at the time, nod to Versache's murder.
mentaldavethefirst I thought it was a play on fascism and Mussolini but I might be wrong
There's nothing at all stupid about the annual all-priests 5 Aside over 75's indoor football challenge match against Rugged Island!
It's literally my FAVORITE episode of father ted
Dick Byrne and Cyril MacDuff were the other priests in A Song For Europe.
An interesting fact is that the Rugged Island cast were all the second choices for Ted, Dougal, Jack and Mrs Doyle, but they wanted to cast them anyway so created the Rugged Island parish as rivals for Craggy Island
@@georgercop good choice to make them rivals
The actors that play Dick Burns, Cyril and the old man were the seconds to the main actors. They liked them so well they wrote them in.
I've always loved how even Father Jack was startled out of sleep by the horror of Ted's forfeit!! 😂😂😂
Even despite the fact jack isnt the least bit afraid of len, on one occasion decking him, and even more absurdedly been scared off by ted shouting feck off when hed had a few too many 😁
According to Wikipedia the cold open in the beginning of episode 2 is a parody of the shaky camera work in NYPD Blue.
Yes, in particular the shaky camera was a play on NYPD Blue.
And I think the bongo drums at the end of the cliffhanger was a parody of eastenders
@@stancask5335 I assumed it all was
@@stancask5335 No, it's the sort of thing you'd get on NYPD Blue after the previously on.
The Plague which explains Jack's rabbit impression while being sarcastic.
Night of the Nearly Dead
Fecking hell thats a good observation! Never even thought of that and always thought it was just something random.
'Chirpy, Burpy Cheap Sheep' is generally ok, but does include the single funniest throwaway ever (described in the script as '...one, isolated fucking hell').
Uttered by Graham Linehan I believe
"Father-"
"*Arse*"
That bit always makes me giggle :D.
When dougal tells you you're going a bit too mad you know you've lost it.
Above all else..these are wonderful actors
I LOVE that despite not being from the UK, even YOU closed your eyes the first time Ted goes for the kick! It’s one of the scariest moments in tv history. Fuck having to kick Bishop Brennan, he’s terrifying! 😂😂😂
Your favourite phrase is "He's dead". I laugh at it everytime🤣
Its great that other people also find Father Ted amusing, its a rare kind of humour.
Ahh, two of the greatest Ted episodes, I was waiting for you to get to these!
these are one of those episodes that you see and you never forget it is still just so funny to this day
I have NEVER been so invested in a football match in my life! My favorite bit is watching Dougal protect the flags though. There are so many great episodes of Father Ted, but the football match is my absolute favorite!!
"Never trust icecream men".
Along with hairy milkmen.
Basically anyone in the dairy sector.
@@RenaissanceEarCandy Except Dougal of course. He is, after all, a man of God!
.............. THOSE WOMEN WERE IN THE NIP!
HE DID KICK ME UP THE ARSE
Entertaining Father Stone
The Passion of Saint Tibulus
Chirpy, Burpy Cheap Sheep
*HE DID KICK ME UP THE ARSE!*
Re the pyjamas - in one episode Dougal wears that famous t-shirt "it's a priest thing, you wouldn't understand" - which is almost a synonym for "that would be an ecumenical manner"
Ted jumping through window when it first aired had me laughing as much as 1) Chinese family looking through window, 2) Hitler moustache smudge
Ah man, just wait until you watch 'Cigarettes, Alcohol and Rollerblading' for the first time. Absolutely hilarious.
That the one with the late great brendan grace?
@@macker33 You're thinking of 'New Jack City'. C A & R is the one about giving stuff up for Lent.
@@richardfurness7556 excellent.
@@richardfurness7556 One of my favourite scenes in that episode is when Father Jack sees Sister Assumpta, and after learning that she is a nun, he hurls himself screaming straight through the window.
@@petercdowney Comedy gold. But I prefer the bit where Jack is reacquainting himself with the English language when he finally sobers up. "Spoon! Curtains! Carpet!" Looks at Ted. "Gobshite!"
I knew Hell existed. And it's also known as Father Jack's underpants hamper.
Go on. My son.
6:35 Dougal is referring to Gianni Versace (this episode was aired for the first time during the mid 90s)
Hi Noah, the lessons being : 1/ never leave any alcohol-based drinks where Father Jack can find them. 2/ Be careful what you ask Father Dougal to do, as occasionally he just might get it right !!
Glad you enjoyed it, as I`ve said before I really miss this kind of comedy.
3/ Never kick a Bishop...........just don`t !!
I don't know if anyone else noticed this but when bishop brennan was running he was holding something under his cape to give it the long flowing effect
its 20 foot wide!!
The moment I found out that Taffe316 appreciates Father Ted, he earned a subscription from me. 🍀
OMG I remember this first aired, i was absolutely howling, Jim Norton standing with a look of "wtf!!??!!!"was absolute genius writing
Ted was only exaggerating about the 10x10 but Dougal actually got it.
the joke is he got 10 by 10 foot instead of inches
Father Jessop is very sarcatholic.
Still amazing that Ian Fitzgibbon, who portrayed Father Jessup in this, is now an acclaimed Irish director. He has directed a few low budget features and plenty of TV, but for the Father Ted connection he directed episodes of Moone Boy with Ted regular directer Declan Lowney.
21:09 “this is the dumbest battle ever” - it’s a battle of wits! Fortunately, they’re both unarmed....
they dressed ted like sir alex ferguson with the umbro jacket 😂
Do 'The young on'es' taffe......classic 1980's comedy mate.
It's a double parody of NY PD Blue with the camera movements and the drums is mimicking the Eastenders cliffhanger/intro drums
I have watched this multiple times sincr it first aired in the 90s.
Only now do I see Jessop has a beard growth in the post credit scene. Indicating he has been there a few days at least.
Really enjoying your watchalongs. Have to say the actor that played Len Brennan in this was amazing, he's a great actor.
IM REALLY ENJOYING THIS🤣🤣 gets me everytime
Thanks for watching our comedy much love.
These two episodes are absolute gold
I love this episode. Bishop Brennan is a great character and appears in 2 other episodes of Father Ted. The best one in my opinion is "The Plague" from Series 2. You might want to consider doing a reaction to that. You may also recognise the actor of Bishop Brennan. He was in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". He plays the visitor who comes to see Harry's uncle at the start of the film.
I think you'll like the episodes:
Night of the Nearly Dead.
Tentacles of Doom.
Cigarettes and Alcohol and Rollerblading
.
Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep.
Competition Time.
New Jack City.
OH MY GOD YES FINALLY LOVE YOUR REACTS TO FATHER TED
Been watching Father Ted since the 90's and it only show I never get tired of watching
The parody (the drum) roll was from East Enders a soap about the lives of people in the East End of London each episode ends with a cliffhanger drum roll.
06:12 looks like Dougle was trying really hard not to break character lol
I've been to the house when I was on holiday in Ireland and it looks just like that.
I believe the football episode was a nod to catholics being told not to attend the Ireland v Yugoslavia match in the 1950s on spiritual grounds.
Bloody fun programme, either way.
As someone else has noted, before watching The Mainland episode, I'd say it's necessary to watch some One Foot In The Grave to really appreciate one of the jokes in it. Trying to narrow down best episodes is difficult, but I'd recommend Hearts Of Darkness, Who Will Buy?, The Trial, The Beast In The Cage and The Valley Of Fear
Think of Rugged Island as the Bizarro World Craggy Island, the same but different. If no one else has mentioned it, the actor who plays Father Dick Byrne originally auditioned to play Ted!
The ref is Jason Byrne, excellent Irish comedian.
Just noticed at 2:21, the picture of Father Ted and Father Stone is up on the wall.
Am so glad you reacted to this Episode. Is by far my favorite farther ted.
This is my all time favourite episode!!! Yay!!
45:26Its just that I can see another vision of you your grace the bits of fluff seem to be arranging themselves into some sort of bishop formation
When you do react to the episode 'The Mainland', then you have to react to One Foot In The Grave first of all since Richard Wilson stars in both
What episode of One Foot in the Grave should we recommend? I might have to watch the series again to come up with a top 5
@@madalinam6183 My personal fave is 'The Trial' but they are all good
You need to watch "The Passion of Saint Tibulus.It has a brief scene telling how the priest came to be on the island (sort of) and it bishop Brennan, whom you know from this episode. Plus it's an all-round funny episode.
Down with this sort of thing.
The wonky camera in the cold open is most likely a reference to a big show of the time, like NYPD Blue or something, back when going free hand on a TV show was new.
Great timing I was so bored and you upload 😃👍🐵
Two things, "Escape From Victory" is a reference to Escape to Victory, the war film where a gang of Allied POWs who played football before the war, play a German team at football, in Paris. It was known just as "Victory" in the US, I think. Starred Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine and Max Von Sydow.
Secondly, I'd like to congratulate you on making a very game effort at pronouncing the word "arse". :-D
And Pelé and Bobby Moore just to name a few!
@@3coldcapricorn227 Indeed. Russell Osman, Ossie Ardilles, John Wark, Kevin O'Callaghan, Mike Summerbee and Kevin Beattie's legs. There were others, I know, but I can't remember them. It's been a few years.
There aren't any other connected plots, but Series 1, Episode 3, The Passion of St. Tibulus, introduces who Bishop Brennan is, and he helpfully tells us how Ted, Dougal and Jack ended up stuck on Craggy Island in the first place. Love how even Jack is scared of drunk Ted. Yikes.
Bishop Brennan also appears in season two's The Plague which explains Jack's rabbit impression while being sarcastic.
Good idea to do both of these episodes together. It's pretty good isn't it? Glad you are enjoying it and that you are going to do more (all?) of them. They are all pretty good, but my vote for the next one would be 'Grant Unto Him Eternal Rest'.
Used to watch this with my dad all the time, rip
Yes father ted nemeses is named Father Dick Byrne there always at each other interesting fact the guy who played Dick Byrne tried out for father Ted Crilly but didn’t feel the role was right for him so he played Dick Byrne which he did a great job loved watching father ted when I was in my teenage years visiting my grandmothers house you’ll love watching these two episodes:)
Jack's Underpants hamper is the best bit
Two of my favourite episodes.
I'm from Dublin IRELAND and we love this show its over 20 year's old but still Good🏆🏄🏄🏃🏂🏁🏁🏁🏀🎿⚽⚽⚽⚽
Didn't fr jack have a trial with Liverpool ...
No dougal fr jack was on trial in Liverpool ..
😆😆😆😆😆😆
My vote for next episode would be Flight Into Terror or Night Of The Nearly Dead
My top 3 episodes are Speed 3, Kicking BB Up The Arse and Song For Europe.
Honorable mentions go to Tentacles of Doom, Flight Into Terror, Cigarettes and Alcohol and Rollerblading, The Mainland and the Christmas special.
Looking forward to your next review!
Maybe in the not-too-distant future, news bulletins will start with "Previously On The News..." before sensationalised clips of the previous day's news items are shown.
saw the thumbnail and immediately knew the episode
You are right. Despite so many brilliant episodes, nothing tops the milk truck.
The Bishop-Jim Norton said he never watched this episode cause he was so sad at Dermont's death. He just couldn't bear to watch it.
Love these videos
But pointing this out, Bishop Brennan can't do anything at all anymore! He shoved the Pope and insulted him to his face + swore within St. Peter's= NO LONGER A BISHOP. 😊
I think that was a parody of eastenders and the "duff duff" at the end of an episode?
New Jack City(Brendan Grace as Fr. Fintan Stack) Definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet
Jim Norton who played Bishop Brennan still can’t watch the second episode because they had so much fun making it he gets upset about Dermot
You have to watch Blackadder! You enjoyed Father Ted so you'll really like Blackadder :)
yes, starting from Blackadder II which is in my opinion the best one
@@evorock too true!
S3 E8 Father Ted 'Going To America' would be fun to see a reaction to.
That's the finale. It should be saved for the end.
I thank you for uploading this series. Maybe one day you could visit Ireland and see for yourself that we are far worse in real life 😄
And I just realised - I've always said we want to see "American Reacts to Father Ted (#25)", but that is now revised to 24, as you did these two episodes together.
They're all kind of connected...so you should watch all remaining in the next one.
Irish Shawshank moment there 😜😜
Well I'm glad you decided to watch Escape From Victory before Kicking Bishop Brennan up the Arse and even gladder that you did it as a double. Oh yes the narcissistic Bishop Brennan, played to perfection by Jim Norton. The writers spotted him in Frasier and decided that he was perfect for the part of Len. How about New Jack City next, guest starring the late Dublin comedian Brendan Grace?
Wow, I didn't know that. Just went to watch the Frasier episode, that's a hell of a spot!
@@ctuckwell6562 well to be honest, I just read that on the internet. I didn't really like Frasier, but I am looking out for the episode with Norton in it. He also played Albert Einstein in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
@@TheDoran144 ah, I used to love Frasier so it was nice to go back and see an early episode. Norton literally has two fleeting appearances in S02E18 "The Club", yet it was enough to land him the Bishop Brennan role!
Hi Just watching ...Have you done the episode,where they sing in a competition, My lovely Horse? Sooo funny! Thanks in advance
Yeah that was my 2nd reaction if I remember correctly
I think it's a parody of emmerale at the start. They have an iconic du-du drum roll at the end of each episode
13:37 My favourite ever Father Jack moment!
"More water."
Lol!
That's the only time Father Jack ever actually *wanted* water!
I think the beginning of the second episode was a mick take of east Enders ( sort of at least)
