Father Ted

[purrswhileheeats]

My favourite episode was on More4 earlier - The Mainland. I've seen it so many times but it still makes me cry laughing.

My dad and my ex boyfriend are Irish and they nearly came to blows in a restaurant fighting over who was paying the bill

I love The Old Grey Whistle Theft with Father Damo. ‘Father Damien. Your tea is ready.’ Teatime in my house always reminds me of that scene.

He's not the boss of me. Used all the time in our house

There isn't a single episode that doesn't have some sort of quotable line. It's a tribute to the writing that the situations Ted finds himself in are so completely ridiculous yet totally relatable.

The one where all the priests are on a plane and they have to come up with an argument as to why they should get a parachute, and one of them gets the wrong idea and just draws a picture of himself "in the nip". I like @Glinner 's cameo in that episode too 😁

Call it female intuition or whatever the male equivalent of female intuition is, but this isn’t going to go down well in the Ted camp, at all.

Those women were in the nip!

Mrs Doyle: 'Ride me sideways was another one'

Here are the new stamps in booklet form!!!

And the rest

Oops, the second one didn't post properly

I've just ordered the two first day covers. Can't wait for them to arrive.

Love love love Father Ted. I was once in a lift in a carpark somewhere and three priests got in and it was genuinely like a scene from Father Ted, because the lift wouldn't go anywhere and they were saying things like 'push the button again father' and 'i think it's broken father' and 'we'll have to take the stairs father' and I turned to face the wall so I could piss myself laughing without seeming disrespectful.

They might also have been Irish and/or a middle aged one plus a young and dim one and an older one.

I have found my people! Oh I love it and am getting my 14 year old into it too!

We also do the “you were wearing your blue jumper” thing and also “almost drifted off for a moment there”

“There’s cocaine in them Father”

“Those women were in the nip!”

I love kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse

The old ladies taking about the crying game “he had his lad out” “I thought it looked like your Billy’s” “No Billy’s is rounder at the top”

Careful now

Oh I could go on all night, love it

“Yev a face like a pair of tits”
“Well at least that’s one pair between us”

We had neighbours as a child just like John and Mary. Hated each other and screamed and threw things at each other. Sweetness and light when the priest popped round

@MadisonAvenue

That scene where Bishop Brennan’s visiting and Dougal’s been warned not to mention his child and he sits there and then blurts out “how’s the son?”

🤣🤣🤣 and Ted “hows the son of God!”

"Best get going because milk goes off you know. Apart from UHT milk, but there's no demand for that because its shite."

Your poem couldn’t have been worse than Mrs Doyle’s Ted...could it?

This might be identifying but the school where I used to teach had a priest as a Governor who looked (but fortunately didn't behave) like Fr Jack. He was Fr Somethingelse but we referred to him as Fr Jack. One day a teacher governor accidentally called him Fr Jack I. A governors meeting, she thought she got away with it and nobody noticed.

I was with an art group this week discussing landscape perspective in quite technical terms and we looked at an early example with some cows in the middle distance being a bit out of scale. Suddenly everyone chorused ‘ These are small - but the ones out there are far away. Small - far away. ‘ and burst out laughing.

Had to try to explain to one person why it was so funny, and so fondly remembered.

• I. A governors meeting, At a governors meeting.

They should definitely have done a 'small - far away' stamp but there's dozens that they could have done.

"So fup off, you grasshole!"
"Fup off, you pedrophile!"

I hurt myself laughing at these.

Dermot Morgan died far too young. RIP.

How’s yer bra 🤣

Wait a second, these are fake arms !

Sorry if it’s already been mentioned but which episode is it where Ted and co are driving somewhere in a car at night, and the camera shows Dougal in the back asleep, same with Father Jack and then it pans across to show Ted who is driving also fast asleep? It made me wet myself laughing and I can never find that clip online? Help!!

I think it's from Series 2 Episode 2 Think Fast Father Ted

"How did that gobshite get on the television?!"

Jack when Dougal sticks his head inside the broken TV set. And now me, quite often, when certain politicians are on telly.

I love Fr Ted. I can watch all the repeats and still laugh at the same things.

Thank you for starting this thread. It has led to a happy half hour.
