I never knew of the existence of Father Ted until you guys started reacting to it. My attitude was, what the hell is this? Oh well, I'll give it a try. I went from that inauspicious moment to today's reminiscence of the show that brought me nearly to tears. It truly was a magical show.
It’s so devastating to think of when I heard/read that Dermot Morgan had so much doubt and self-consciousness in himself as an actor, and thought at the time he was doing a horrendous job in the role, since he had never acted in his life before Father Ted. Boy was he wrong. If only he was still alive today, he would’ve been proven wrong about his acting ability, and instead realised that he is still one of the most adored stars, and men, in Irish history. And not just in Ireland, but many others in different countries too, like you two! What a fantastic, funny man he was. Hope he and Frank Kelly are having a ball up in heaven together, two of the most amazing Irish actors of all time. Father Ted remains my favourite show of all time, even for a 22 year old (not many of my friends like it because it’s not in their “time”, and they’re fools) and no matter how many times I watch every episode, I will laugh until my sides are hurting each time. I’m so glad you two enjoyed the series, you have great taste and a great sense of humour too! Love from Co. Kildare, Ireland 💚
I was lucky euro see the last episode filmed , it was absolutely fantastic, between scenes they showed the outside filming, one thing that happened as we were taken to our seats, we went down the wrong corridor and the priests walked out, Dougal , gave me the amazing and fantastic Dougal smile fantastic night, but next day heard Ted had died so I loved it but tinged with sadness, bless you guys ❤
As a true Irish man from Dublin, have loved your reactions on father ted. I would to recommend to you both 12 Days of Christmas by Frank Kelly(Father Jack). It’s pure class and hilarious, you may want to save it for Christmas time. Also a side note. A couple of years ago I drove Father Dougal in my taxi to a gig in Dublin he was doing.
Ha, I was going to mention the 12 Days of Christmas but I won't bother now! It sure is pure class and hilarious alright. That would have been a nice surprise to have Dougal get into your cab! Father Ted sure is one of my favourite comedies of all time.
Yeah when I pulled up to Ardal OHanlons house, I was shocked it was him. I could tell he was contemplating his appearance. His wife was more chatty with me than he was, it was a short trip but brilliant to be able to say. I once collected Irelands first female President Mary Robinson. I didn't know where to out myself
I was in high school (in England) when Father Ted appeared on our TV screens. My friends and I loved the show from the first episode to the last and were absolutely gutted when we heard that Dermot had died. I'm now only four years away from his age when he left us far too young. 😢
I grew up through the seventies and we were spoilt in the UK for great comedy with Porridge, Faulty Towers ,Dads Army ,Steptoe and Son ,Open all Hours ,Rising Damp and the Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin and I know it was filmed in the nineties but I think Father Ted was the funniest most demented comedy of the lot . I’ve watched every series many times and I know most of it word for word but it still makes me cry with laughter. Absolute genius .
All these great British comedies have similar themes which make them great. (Not sure if you agree). But apart from the writing and jokes, they are 1. predominantly often set in one main location or room (Porridge - prison cell, FT - hotel reception/restaurant, DA - church hall/office or bank, S&S living room) and / or 2. The jokes are often bantered between a generation gap (Porridge - Young and old, DA - Pike vs older vs Jones as oldest, S&S - Father and son). Father Ted was same, two main generations, 3 if you include Jack, and predominantly one or two locations. Only Fools too, Rodney was a different generation to Del Boy then Grandad / Uncle Albert, and set in the living room or pub.
@@rwlynch3468 Yes totally agree comedy that was hilarious then and will still be funny in a hundred years . Unfortunately I feel most comedy today has lost its way , Too afraid of offending someone , Love thy Neighbour was a perfect example where they called each other Homky and Sambo and didn’t take offence . Like the the Major describing the difference between Wogs and Coons when he took his lady to see the cricket at Lords , they wouldn’t allow it nowadays . Used too love Eddie Murphys stand up but always thought it sad that it was only a black audience, except for the odd Italian That it seemed that there was still this racial divide as if white people didnt ike or appreciate Black humour. Nice watching Bill Burr break these boundaries where he appeals to a black and white crowd with his humour.
Irish and British humour is unique and not to forget that Only fools writer John Sullivans brilliant chandelier scene comes from a story his father said took place in Ireland
@@kevinspain354 if I had the time and skill I'd write a comedy too. People wouldn't believe the random scenarios I've got myself into, but they would be true.
He started an attack campaign against David Tennant trying to smear his image and make him out as a PDF file all over a shirt. I wouldn’t exactly call him a good man
Thank you for all these Father Ted reactions, I enjoyed rewatching them with you guys. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 I’m proud of Father Ted, good Irish humour.
I will miss not having new Brad & Lucy Father Ted reviews but will continue to watch your reviews of other comedy classics. It is a testament to you both that if possible you seem to make what are already side splittingly funny even funnier.
A lovely end to this journey we've been on with you. It's been thoroughly delightful and it's been marvellous to watch the pleasure you've increasingly derived from such an iconic and supremely funny show. It felt like watching it anew and made it seem so fresh again despite my having seen it countless times. Bravo and thank you for such a pleasurable experience. This is how 'reaction' videos should be done.
So glad you guys watched this. I too find it v moving at times, particularly Jim Norton (Bishop Brennan)'s comment about being unable to bring himself to watch that episode. Sláinte from Ireland
I've not seen this before... What a great trip back! Great to share the memories of FT with you both. You don't normally get that experience with someone "acrros the pond". Refreshing and a bit of an honour too, if I'm honest.
I'm sure someone has already commented but Neil Hannon who played the theme song and My Lovely Horse is a well known artist called The Divine Comedy. I'd suggest listen to The Frog Princess. He's a wonderful composer.
Great stuff, Brad & Lucy. I've seen most of your Fr Ted reactions and now this to round off. All very well done. Just as a matter of interest, Ardal (Fr Dougal) says here that his father was a medical doctor among other things - the other things included a successful career in politics; he eventually became Ceann Comhairle of the Dáil, our equivalent of Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Really enjoyed sharing this with you both. First time that I've seen this. Sad,funny, nostalgic and absolutely crazy. Love father Ted. Many thanks Brad and lucy. Xx
RIP...Father Ted , great fun was had by many......Now may be time for 'Black books'...... written by Graham & Dylan Moran ..... First episode 29th sept 2000
what a great little reaction. despite being a father ted watcher back in the day, this vid was actually new to me. great stuff (fthr jack was hilarious)🤣
the problem with that the bbc has a hard go at reactors despite 90% of people would have seen the show that is being reacted to and the other 10% would maybe watch it themselves gaining new fans
@@setogod7 Nah, that series must be over 40 years old by now, and would be completely dead if it wasn't for a small portion of reactors keeping it somewhat alive. So that would make no sense what so ever.
@@GAIS414 The BBC doesn't do repeats, they instead expect you to buy DVDs, if someone puts the Young Ones online they lose sales. They are pretty cancerous for it.
@@setogod7 Hmm...I have watched two full series of the Young Ones, on a reaction channel (@DawnMarieX). It's been two months and the videos are still up, so I don't know what's what.
Brad, you picked up on how similar the Irish West Coast looks to the Canadian east coast. There was geological documentary on Irish TV about a year ago that explained that about 50 million years ago, what is now north America separated from what is now north western Europe. Ireland and indeed Scotland were at this fracture point. Geologist from both Canada and Ireland stated that chemical analysis of the coastal rock formations were identical. Apparently we continue to separate from each other at the pace that our finger nails grow.
Sadly Frank Kelly (father Jack) passed in 2016. Ardal O'Hanlon (father Dougal) went on with a sucessful sitcom ' My Hero' and the dective series 'Death in Paradise' for the BBC
Hellooo Brad and Lucy, I trust you are both well. So we finally have closure to a wonderful comedy series, but it's not all sad as we still have the memories and of course, the reruns! It was fun watching the doco again even though I have it on my FATHER TED DEFINITIVE COLLECTION, but it was great to view it with Youse two Gobshites! All the best to ye (Ooh! The ROULETTES just flew past my house, in formation just then...cool! RAAF display team.) anyways all the best to you and cheerie bye for now. Rob. 🇦🇺🍻🇨🇦
Thanks for a really enjoyable reaction to this and the 3 seasons of Father Ted. It was so good to watch it again and laugh with ye reacting to it 😂😂 Cheryl makes a really good cup of tea, so make sure you book in for tea and scones at the Father Ted house, when ye get over to Ireland 😉
@@newuk26 He had a simular mentality in My Hero to Dougal, not knowing things etc. The Death In Paradise program was decent. I can't remember if he was the first detective on the Island, but never the less he still added abit of Dougal into it in some situations. If I remember properly.
Since its around paddys day and everyone's doing Irish stuff, I definitely recommend 'the young offenders', but you need to watch the film first before the couple tv series. That's really good but I'd be betraying my country if I didn't say to watch 'still game'
I thoroughly enjoyed that watch-along with you. It's such a nice look back at the whole Father Ted thing, getting a feel for how they felt making it. One big, happy family, all the way through, welded together forever. More than any other show than I can think of, it's created a sort of extended family; those who've seen it can't help but get drawn in by its charms, and if you ever meet someone else who has seen it too you're pretty much friends already. Pauline McLynn has indeed gone on to other things, and also has a website where you can buy tea cosies (for keeping tea pots warm). They're brilliant! For me, one of the heroines is Cheryl McCormack and the McCormack family, owners of the Parochial House. She didn't have to, but after regularly having had the film crew on their front lawn and no doubt all over the house, she then opened up for tea by appointment. This was perhaps the gentlest and kindest way possible of letting fans of the show (including Steven Spielberg apparently) get the absolute most out of the journey to their front gate. I hear they've recently stopped opening for tea. Whilst that's a tragedy for those of us who have not yet made the journey to "Craggy Island", we have to remember that it's been 28 years of their lives that have, one way or other, been thoroughly altered by the show. So, on behalf of all the fans of the show, thank you very much! And then there's Ted Fest. Held on a small Island (Inishmore) in about March. That's about as craggy as you can get, and brilliant. Still going, next year's is 7th to 10th March.
So many laughs,slightly painful to watch this video. However it's a wonderful show. Glad you enjoyed it Brad and Lucy. Check out and react to 'Still Game'!
So before it disappears. Hardy Bucks. West rural Ireland. Beautiful scenery? Characters. Started as a test pilot. Well worth a watched. Not one reaction channel has. Ted is the gem of 90s comedy in the UK. Brass Eye you need to watch. Or . The Day Today. Satire. Hardy Bucks.
Great reactions again👌 Eric Idle also wrote and sang the theme music for a.Christmas special of One foot in the Grave called Man in the Long Black Coat. Eric played the part of the man. 👍
That woman who said “Irish is synonymous with ridiculous” annoys me so much. That’s on the people you grew up with lady. Chastise those bigots and lay off the actual Irish person.
Please try "Still Game", brilliant Scottish sit-com, or "Mrs browns Boys" which is an Irish comedy and "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" which is English, all 3 are brilliantly funny.
'Derry Girls' is a unique and popular recent comedy that might be also be a nice follow-on to 'Father Ted', set in and around Londonderry during 'the troubles' 25 years back. Nuns and priests in this one as well with a fair selection of other offbeat Irish characters, but the main characters - teenage Catholic schoolgirls and their relatives (such as 'Uncle Colm', who seems to be a tribute to FT's 'Father Austin Purcell - the most boring priest in Ireland'). are an absolute delight. Ardal O'Hanlon (Father Dougal) plays 'Uncle Eamonn' too.
Would be great to see you react to the BBC Scotland sitcom Still Game. Brilliantly funny too! 👍 Although, you might've already seen it, I heard this was popular in Canada?
@@Sheffield_Steve I'll see if I can get an episode through. Canada has often been blocked from certain shows that the States allow through. It seems to vary from country to country
The only other things I've seen Father Jack/Frank Kelly in Emmerdale (a soap opera set in the countryside) as a really rich land owner that was in the closest then comes out, so alot different to Jack. Also Mr's Brown's Boy's D'Movie, based a comedy TV program (Mr's Brown's Boy's) that I've seen people react to in full on here.
Frank Kelly played multiple characters in a satirical weekly show in RTE in Ireland in the 70's, 'Halls Pictorial Weekly'. Required viewing here back in the day, funny and hard hitting.
I think there's another documentary about the fans and the annual festival they have about Father Ted maybe check that out it must be on you tube somewhere. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Hi Brad & Lucy - Hope You both are well. Thankyou for another GREAT Upload. I, was Wondering .. You have Reacted to a lot of 'Father Ted' & 'Monty Python' lately - are You still Planning on Doing more 'Red Green' episodes❓️ If so •The Painted Leaves Project & •The Stuck Truck Project❓️ Thanks again .. See You on Sundays get-Together., Regards 🍻
after Father Ted watch black adder skip season 1 and watch 2 3 4 BRAd and Lucy you go together like Ted and Dougal you can't have one without the other
He makes a surprise appearance in 'the roast of Count Dankula', in a very heartwarming section where the two reconcile after Linehan had previously denounced Dankula unjustly. I guarantee that he won back a lot of goodwill with Father Ted fans within Dank's fanbase, for being gracious enough to admit fault and apologise. So, as badly as the mainstream has bee treating Linehan, he does have his supporters.
The only sitcom that could rival Father Ted would be the one I lived through during my childhood. Try growing up catholic in a POLISH community. Holy shitballs Batman...the stories I could tell!😂😂😂

No other show has EVER made me laugh as hard as FT and they probably never will.
It actually annoys me how perfect you two are for each other.

Never met an Irish person I didn’t get on with such lovely people

Thank you so much for this trip down memory lane with Father Ted. This was a show of pure comedy genius and it is still an Irish treasure. ♥
40:00 Today I learned that Neil Hannon of the Divine Comedy wrote the Father Ted theme. I love that band!
God Bless Graham Linehan. A good man that the modern world hasn't been nice to lately
Well said
A man of strong beliefs and common sense who stood up for women. Wonderful man.
He started an attack campaign against David Tennant trying to smear his image and make him out as a PDF file all over a shirt. I wouldn’t exactly call him a good man

Such a classic, in the true sense of the word! Hard to believe it's so long since Dermot's passing!
I like how Ted's mk5 Ford Cortina has turned somehow into a mk2 Ford Granada for this show ..😂

Pauline McLynn did not decline to take part, like they said. She wanted to take part but it clashed with other projects.
They just made a running joke out of it and some people took it too seriously.

Graham Linehan lives just up the road from me in Norfolk. I've seen him buying milk.
Fantastic reaction as always x
Brilliant! Thank you both so much for that.
Ardal O'Hanlon/Father Dougal I've seen in MY Hero and Death In Paradise, his stand up is good and some of it is on here.
His stand up was good, as was Death in Paradise.
However My Hero was a big pile of shite imo

Joined the Patreon this week hooray! I can annoy you both on there now.
Awesome Paul, Thanks
Since its around paddys day and everyone's doing Irish stuff, I definitely recommend 'the young offenders', but you need to watch the film first before the couple tv series.

Thank you for watching this.

Check out and react to 'Still Game'!
I've met Ardal in Leeds (Dougal) He's a Leeds United supporter and was going to a match. Such a lovely funny guy. Check out his stand up!
If you like Ardal O'Hanlon (Dougal) he did another comedy series as a superhero on BBC1 'My Hero' I think theres some episodes on youtube
Hardy Bucks is utube available? Or Netflix
As a member of the pee pee club and being Irish ☘️ I loved father Ted . Thanks for the reaction guys your the feckin best lol 😂 ❤
🤣🤣🤣
So before it disappears. Hardy Bucks. West rural Ireland. Beautiful scenery? Characters. Started as a test pilot. Well worth a watched. Not one reaction channel has. Ted is the gem of 90s comedy in the UK. Brass Eye you need to watch. Or . The Day Today. Satire. Hardy Bucks.
That was awesome, I learnt alot!
Ther guys that played father Ted and father Jack both passed on the same date ....the 28th of February
I k ow it's the wrong time of year but......" Frank Kelly 12 days of Christmas"
And then Frank Kelly dies exactly 18 years after Dermot Morgan.
Ted drove a cortina, they are driving a granada, that would be a bishops level car
Cold and damp and miserable. Looks like the Irish don't have a word for that like the Scottish word, 'dreich'.
You have tryed Taskmaster, so Ardal O'Hanlon was participant in season 13 and he was defenatly playing Dougal 😂
Careful now...
Great reactions again👌
Eric Idle also wrote and sang the theme music for a.Christmas special of One foot in the Grave called Man in the Long Black Coat. Eric played the part of the man. 👍
I thought he wrote and sung the regular theme also.
@@krashd He did.
That woman who said “Irish is synonymous with ridiculous” annoys me so much. That’s on the people you grew up with lady. Chastise those bigots and lay off the actual Irish person.
Feckin Superb!! Loved this!!
Lead Balloon is great but you may have to know Jack Dee first.
I just for out it's called ted fest 2007 it was a documentary about the fans
Please try "Still Game", brilliant Scottish sit-com, or "Mrs browns Boys" which is an Irish comedy and "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" which is English, all 3 are brilliantly funny.
Mrs Brown’s Boys is literally the worst programme on television. It’s as funny as cancer.
'Derry Girls' is a unique and popular recent comedy that might be also be a nice follow-on to 'Father Ted', set in and around Londonderry during 'the troubles' 25 years back. Nuns and priests in this one as well with a fair selection of other offbeat Irish characters, but the main characters - teenage Catholic schoolgirls and their relatives (such as 'Uncle Colm', who seems to be a tribute to FT's 'Father Austin Purcell - the most boring priest in Ireland'). are an absolute delight. Ardal O'Hanlon (Father Dougal) plays 'Uncle Eamonn' too.
@@frglee *Derry 😉
I really enjoyed this. The spirit of Father Ted lives on! Fe*k!
Would be great to see you react to the BBC Scotland sitcom Still Game. Brilliantly funny too! 👍
Although, you might've already seen it, I heard this was popular in Canada?
We have trouble getting BBC content through copyright
@@bradlucy There's not been too many issues with this show, I've seen many a reaction videos from the States on here. Shouldn't be a problem.
@@Sheffield_Steve I'll see if I can get an episode through. Canada has often been blocked from certain shows that the States allow through. It seems to vary from country to country
Trivia: Dermot Morgan (Ted) and Frank Kelly (Jack) both died on Feb 28.
My birthday :(
Yes but different years
@@bradlucy Obviously 🙂
@@1989NickyD Sorry, I thought it was a trick question 😁😁
The only other things I've seen Father Jack/Frank Kelly in Emmerdale (a soap opera set in the countryside) as a really rich land owner that was in the closest then comes out, so alot different to Jack. Also Mr's Brown's Boy's D'Movie, based a comedy TV program (Mr's Brown's Boy's) that I've seen people react to in full on here.
He also appeared in season 3 of the bizarre, some might say unhinged, SF show Lexx as a drunken priest living in Newfoundland.
@@richardfurness7556 I haven't seen it, but a savvy move in casting.
Frank Kelly played multiple characters in a satirical weekly show in RTE in Ireland in the 70's, 'Halls Pictorial Weekly'. Required viewing here back in the day, funny and hard hitting.
Hardy Bucks. French toast rehabilitation
I think there's another documentary about the fans and the annual festival they have about Father Ted maybe check that out it must be on you tube somewhere. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Hi Brad & Lucy - Hope You both are well. Thankyou for another GREAT Upload. I, was Wondering ..

See You on Sundays get-Together., Regards 🍻
Not yet! We will.
Would like to see you two take a visit to the house.
@firetv2169 There is a Father Ted tourist trail in the area with several of the film locations - I'm hoping to do it one day
Check out IT Crowd. Written by Graham linehan
IT Crowd is blocked in our country, so we put it on our Patreon and Dailymotion pages. There are about 4 episodes so far.
@Orlando If they ever sobered up, it would be imminent divorce. [whistling smiley] 😂
Great job guys 👍👍☘️☘️
after Father Ted watch black adder skip season 1 and watch 2 3 4 BRAd and Lucy you go together like Ted and Dougal you can't have one without the other
There is a Christmas special too, I don't remember if you guys have watched it.
Yes, it is. The second part is on Dailymotion and Patreon for free
I think it's terrible how this guy Graham Linehan has been treated.
No question. It's abhorrent.
yes, Even the Irish media wont interview him, how gutless!
It's disgusting how he's been demonised for simply stating the blindingly obvious, there are only TWO GENDERS!
He makes a surprise appearance in 'the roast of Count Dankula', in a very heartwarming section where the two reconcile after Linehan had previously denounced Dankula unjustly. I guarantee that he won back a lot of goodwill with Father Ted fans within Dank's fanbase, for being gracious enough to admit fault and apologise. So, as badly as the mainstream has bee treating Linehan, he does have his supporters.
Well he did bring a lot of it on himself getting involved in twitter spats and virtue signalling
The only sitcom that could rival Father Ted would be the one I lived through during my childhood.
Try growing up catholic in a POLISH community. Holy shitballs Batman...the stories I could tell!😂😂😂
Well, you know the answer to that: go write a script!
The real father Jack 🤯
I think you could make a very good service, I don't know where you can get a father Jack 👍🏴👀🥰
👩🦰- I will be father Jack!
❤
