"May I be struck down by all the diseases known to middle-aged women and as you and I know, Mrs Doyle, that's a hell of a lot of diseases" - gets me every time!
It's the old school black and white tv telephone ramblings that get me. Hilarious. The writers of this comedy were completely off their heads, which is why it will always be a classic.
@@chloedevereaux1801 Well there were two writers and only of them is being accused of being transphobic. I don't know where you got homophobic or racist though. Whatever the case, it doesn't negate the genius of this show.
Brilliant performance by Elva Crowley!! Her face frozen in that permanent sneer, her eyes flashing malice, and barely any physical movement at all... she creates a moment that is both chilling and hilarious in one go!!
I'm sure I've watched every episode of Father Ted (I have the DVD box set, in addition to watching plenty of it over the air), but I have absolutely no recollection of ever seeing this scene before. Bizarre.
It's a brief scene that makes use of a character that is never seen again and so is, perhaps, easily overlooked. The episode is called "Night of the Nearly Dead".
It's the one where Dougal wins a comp to have a popular TV presenter come over for the night, but he's popular with the elderly ladies and they come at night like it was a zombie nightmare. Just classic lol
My dad always said three fastest ways to send a message; telaphone,telagraph and telawoman

When she slides over, it kills me every time.

@@chloedevereaux1801 Calm down fella.
@@chloedevereaux1801 Who gives a shit? We like the show, leave us alone.
The way she casually slides over to Mrs Doyle has me in stitches!!!😂😂😂
Is she on a Segway or heelies?
Its a parody of the Stepford wives and even that nun in Blue Brothers
Elva Crowley is the actor

This is my favourite scene from Father ted. It's pure genius.
It's my second favourite! Number 1 for me was Pat Mustard, with Douglas as a milkman.
One my the top ten father ted moments EVER!
I’m still a bit freaked out by her
Btw the reason we neber see this woman again is because she was struck by all the deseases and died
God rest her soul ….
@@ianm1470 😂
No Elva Crowley lives in wexford now😁
@@paulandgeorge09 many thanks for the update 👍🏻 I just watched the clip again…. I love it
@@paulandgeorge09 it was a joke on her never being in father ted after this episode
It’s the phone call talking and morse code for me 😂🤣😂🤣
The morse code kills me lol

Scary lady. Like demon.

Craggy Island has a pigeon sanctuary, supermarket and internet cafe?
They've also got a spider baby
and a Chinatown
and a warehouse big enough to store all the roads when the weather is bad.
Craggy Island had its own isolation tank facility and a creamery big enough to fit the milk supply of a whole country too
It has no West Side because it blew away in a storm
Fookin' 'ell!
Lol, the Aldis lamp :)
One tiny twitch of the eye gave the game away....
I mind howling wi laughter at this when it was on, funny as fuck 🤣
How dose she glide along like a dalekt
This is the Irish country in a nutshell.
Boring yes, shitehole? No. Not at all.
The Irish countryside you mean...
The city is even worse

The truth about gossip.
her:''sunday?'' mrs doyle: *twitches* her: ''aha!'' always gets me! 🤣
Thursday 👁️ 👁️
Friday 👁️ 👁️
Saturday 👁️ 👁️
Sunday 😉
It's not even slightly exaggerated about Irish women and gossip. This is the tragic thing.
her:''I won't tell a soul.'' also her: tells everyone including the pigeons and morse code messages across the sea 🤣
More powerful than Instagram or google
My favourite scene 😂😂
Lighthouse
Such an underrated show 🤣
No, it’s not at all underrated!
@@Mike8981 who pissed in your cornflakes?
I would say it's one of the *least* underrated shows of its genre ever made.
@@nkt1 watch it first then decide
@@gerRule I saw them all when they were first broadcast. My opinion remains the same.
Representing all the gemimeees a the parish 🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💚🍀
Aayyee, didn't die for nuthin, mee 👋🏻🖐🏻👁️👂🏼👀🤏🥰🤣💚
So funny 😂 Genius!
Comedy gold right there
That vampire creep though
Rumour has it
Hilarious
What episode was this?
I'll take a flying guess at "Night Of The Nearly Dead"
It's the one where Dougal wins a comp to have a popular TV presenter come over for the night, but he's popular with the elderly ladies and they come at night like it was a zombie nightmare. Just classic lol
Ted entered it for Mrs Doyle, as she wanted to meet the presenter, but turned out she won it after all.@@JamieJooESC
Terrible episode but that lady is hilarious 😆😆
