Father Ted

*snake* · 01-01-2017, 04:27 PM

This is one of the funniest things I've seen in my life.

Father Ted is a 90s sitcom made in Ireland about a priest living on a remote island. It has a cult following, but I'm surprised more people don't know about this show.

All the episodes (25) are available on youtube and I highly recommend it. Hilarious. Has anyone else here watched this?

Well, yes heh, but then again I'm British

Written by Graham Linehan, this is what he did prior to IT Crowd, which I'm sure some people here will know too.

FECK!

"FECK! ARSE! DRINK! GIRLS!"

Love this show.

I've watched it. I think it's a bit overrated, but it's fun to watch most of the time. One of the best comedies ever, in my opinion. It's very popular in Ireland and regularly rerun on RTÉ two.

It's a very clever show and a lot of the humour was ahead of its time. Mrs Doyle is one of the funniest characters on the show along with the recurring ones such as Bishop Brennan and Tom.

FECK!

I lost my sh*t when Jack launched a bottle at the tv screen. Hardest I've laughed at a show in a long time.

Any time Mrs. Doyle falls out the window kills me.

*Mayhem* · 01-02-2017, 05:55 AM

Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on!

I have the urge to bring "Careful Now" and "Down With This Sort Of Thing" signs to a Black Lives Matter protest.

"That would be an ecumenical matter."

There were a lot of great one-liners in the show.
