Father Ted is one of the few shows I've ever seen where you could watch the first episode, and one from the last season and not know which one came first. It was fully formed and realised from the get go. One of the best comedies of the 90s.
@@Mark-Haddow I know Irish TV did not pick it up because it caused "Controversy" at the time. God forbid you make fun of Catholic priests! Still love the series, it is some of the best comedy around. Still watch it when it is on.
You could've discussed how comedy can tackle serious issues and how a comedy shows can help us make sense of topics like racism/child poverty/gun violence etc 🙂
You should watch that whole episode, there's so many taboos on display!!! Easily one of the funniest things you'll ever see........... & a tiny bit shocking!! 🤣🤣🤣
This clip gives the wrong confusing impression, because there are a few scenes in between Ted leaving the room and emerging from the front door, so yes, news got round quick, but not THAT quick!
Think this scene is funny, look for speck of dirt on window in this episode later on. I won't give it away but it goes 1 step further. Also great reaction guys. Definitely watch this as full episodes because the clips alone whilst funny are much funnier in context with rhe show.
Sadly the actor who played father Ted died during later season of the show so it ended the show because the other actors couldn’t face having another actor taking over the role so the writer of the show decided to end the show instead RIP Father Ted Krilly
Actually Dermot Morgan died one day after the third series completed filming and there was never any intention of making another series, even had he lived.
The only thing British about it was the channel it aired on. It was created and written by an Irish man, Irish actors, Irish locations (Co. Clare mainly).
@@Fn-xj8hl because none of the TV Channels in Ireland would touch it, too scared of the potential backlash, though there was some it wasn't as bad as they had feared it would be
@@andreww2098Not true. Both writers were living in London and pitched it there to Hat Trick (which was owned by 3 people of Irish descent). RTE had no experience producing comedy anyway so they never considered pitching it in Ireland. RTE bought the rights at their first opportunity even though most people had seen it on Channel 4 already. There was no fear of a backlash and there was no backlash when it did air.
This is one of the funniest sitcoms ever - but small clips like this don't do it justice - full episodes are a must! (Very small......far away! )
Absolutely 100%.

One of the best comedy series ever, on par with Fawlty Towers imo.
As a person from barcelona, Father Ted is far better.
Father Ted. Three series of heavenly comedy at its very best.
I will never not belly laugh when I hear him say 'i hear you're a racist now father?'
😂😂😂
This clip skipped the best parts. I suggest watching the longer version.
This is set on a tiny island. Ridiculous that they would have a Chinatown. Also this clip is from a longer episode and it just gets funnier.
gotta start father ted!!!!!
you need to watch more of this episode , the Hitler sketch is too funny !!
IT crowd and Black Books is written by the same guy that did Father Ted
You lads have to give this a watch after Inbetweeners. Also Alan Partridge is hilarious
You guys need to watch Father Ted, best Irish sitcom ever. Small clips do not do it justice, you need to watch full episodes
Made by Hat-Trick, a British producer.

Watch the whole show , like Inbetweeners its short & do Porridge but i would imagine Red Dwarf would be more suited
Father Ted Eurovision is literally the best comedy episode ever made
Just play the fuckin note
Gotta love Father Ted
Please react to father ted series! It’s absolute lunacy and hilarious!
Rip dermot Morgan and Frank kelly
Please watch a lot more of father Ted it’s hilarious but you have to watch a full episode
That’s the point if the church tells you to be racist then a lot of people will be. The actor who played ted was an atheist he knew what was going on.
I highly recommend you watch all 3 seasons it's funny as fuck

This is the 2nd best sitcom ever!
I’m torn for your number one but it can only be Only fools and horses surely?
@@ianoo23 Nope. That's number 3.
Bottom is my number 1
@@darrylglynn1557 Has to be Porridge No 1
Or Rising damp
The 2nd best sitcom, the 2nd best sitcom.

You must watch episode kick Bishop Brennan up the arse
I concur, every episode was genius but that one is in the top five. "Len, Len, Len, Len, Lenny, Lenny, Len".
"Don't call me Len ya little bollocks".
Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on!

Produced by the BBC, the creator, writers and cast are Irish one of the funniest Irish shows.

Father Ted was 100% Irish humour, my friend 😂 Produced by a British broadcaster but pure Irish humour 🇮🇪
Please please please watch Father Ted the Hitler scene it’s about 50 seconds long but hilarious 😆
Recommend Peter Kay's Car Share if you've not watched it already 😊
