You forgot the scene where Dougal calls him "Len" and he shouts "You address me by my proper title, you little bollocks!"
Thats on part two.
Best part love it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Loved that
*You little Prick
Hello Len
I love how Bishop Brennan's cape makes him look like a supervillain.
He is
Indeed. For a moment he was the Irish Christopher Lee.
@@jasonfernee2401 he would have made one hell of a sith
Edna Mode: No capes!
It always makes me laugh how Brennan is arsing around on the beach with his son in his bishop's robes.
Hopefully we have a prayer for that now you complete Idiots.
It's the look.
@@johnmc3862 'tis now
He picks up chicks like that.
It's about Bishop Casey 😮
Part of what makes Father Ted so great is how realistic it is. Sure, it's exaggerated, but not as much as you might think. I love how Ted is both the hero of the tale and a crook.
Anyone who lived in or visited Ireland in the 90s would definitely recognise the figures represented in the programme
Jim Norton. Fabulous performance. I love how he plays it like some sort of Don from the mafia. Brilliant. This show never gets old.
He plays the homicidal rat catcher in Sam Peckinpah's "Straw Dogs" as well. Totally different performance.
Jim Norton is a twat, I love the show, but him in it is the only thing I hate, lol.
Bishop Brennan is actually a brilliant actor and I can really feel his authority over them and why they're always on edge 😂
One of the best accents in the series. Everything Bishop Brennan says sounds great due to the accent and delivery of the actor.
Cytuno😊
What is most incredible to me is how funny it is still after all those years.
It's unbelievable isn't it - just never not funny. Such great characters. Timeless comedy
And how funny the CAhtholic chruch joined with peterborough nazis to kill the intelligent one. The entire Cahtolic Chucrhes in the constituency do not like them after buringing their entire churches with Buxton Coataiaals. Is it necessary to say that Buxton now wants all chruchers to be taken over by the women left alive. Amen
Making satire out of large , powerful and corrupt entities never goes out of style.
30,000 views six weeks after posting a video about a character from a series that's been off the air for 20 years. Now THAT'S a great series.
the last great irish/british comedy. its been downhill ever since
*fg@ffgf5885sd55s ... British?
N Han It was made for and funded by Channel 4, which is British.

"Stranded" in Ireland during most of the Celtic Tiger years doing a PhD, and with very little English at the beginning. Together with charming Anne Doyle of the news, they were my real English teachers. What better way to learn a foreign language than that. Wonderful Irish comedic talent, providing insight on what being Irish really meant: wit and depth, but in sort of a lighthearted and unassuming way. Took me a while to understand it. God bless them all.
You’re talking absolute oh Bollix there !
@@shanet5604 I dont exactly have the gift of tongues through lockick on a bad day dur to brain damage, how about publishing it before it becomes illegal.
Stranded??
Unassuming??
I would say more hilarious
*”Kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse”* was the best ever episode.
The absolute best!! The incredulous look on his face!! Priceless 😂🤣😂
"What brings me here? Well I suppose the company, huh? The fresh air! The view from my window of that great pile of sludge! But number one on the list would be the matter of you kicking me up the arse! Yes, I think that is the one I would prioritise!"

@@kristophershepard2563 "Wh- Why i do that? You'd kill me."
@@AP-rs3js “You’re damn right I would.”
3:00 The way Ted and Bishop Brennan pronounce ''fil-um'' is pure gold!
That’s how it’s pronounced in Ireland
Very common pronunciation of film here. Especially in Dublin.
I'm Irish and I find it hilarious too🤣
I am Irish and many people of the generation they are playing do say 'filum' younger generations say 'film'. There are also areas in Ireland where everybody says filum!
Bit unfair to have a go at Ted about the Las Vegas trip. The money was only resting in his account.
ozzie321 But he was in Las Vegas, whilst that sick child was suppose to be in Lourdes!!!
It had a bloody good rest there, though!
@@drivingiron indeed it was resting for a long time lol
Yer a good long time

"Don't call me Len, you little prick; I'm a Bishop!" has to be one of the funniest lines ever written, and perfectly delivered with that little roll of the r in prick.
Oh right, well done.
A great character and a brilliant performance by Jim Norton. Bishop Brennan, like Grouty in Porridge or Slater in Only Fools and Horses, only appears in three episodes of Father Ted but makes a memorable impact.
kick bishop brennan up the arse 🤣
He's a great classical actor. HOWEVER when he dies he will be referenced as Bishop Brennan in father ted
@@johnnywhite58 like Frank Kelly
Really only 3 episodes?
@@joshualyons2854 Yep: The Passion of Saint Tibulus, The Plague and, unsurprisingly, Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse. However, he's also mentioned in a few other episodes.
Bishop Brennan reminds of a goofy Emperor Palpatine.
Flatwoods Monster same 😂😂😂
Love him running with the Cape :)
More like Palpitine is a goofy Bishop Brennan
@@limecat1986 Bishop Brennan would rip Palpatine's arms off and make him emperor of a godforsaken rock in the middle of nowhere.
Where he would have to survive by making arrows.

I just loved the dynamic between Dougal and Bishop Brennan. Bishop Brennan was easily one of the best characters on the show.
I'm still addicted to the program. I'm shocked it's 20 years old.
It's actually over 25 years old now. It first aired in 1995.
@@Paul91- Well I think it's going to always be funny 😊
Another underrated actor, stalwart of supporting roles in drama series, who will blow your socks off given the chance to take centre stage.
Just a bad dream your Grace.
I love how Brennan just smiles and goes back to sleep before waking up screaming.
@Mike Gaddass *_AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!_*
Either because he realised he's surrounded by his worst nightmare, or because a rabbit bit his privates Lmao
The way he says the 2 tribes that have been knocking the sh!t out of each other!! This has got to be one of the very best comedy sitcoms ever written everytime you watch you find new things to laugh at
That line cracks me up every time! 😂
Since nineteen hundred and seven!
@@clinteldorado That's _Nineteen-Ninety-Seven_ !
That scene when he comes back from Rome after being kicked up the arse . . . that's the single greatest Bishop Brennan scene
I think the part where he snaps out of his stupor and knocks the Pope over is another great one.
@@nicholasfarrell5981 he did kick me up the arse!
IMO the bathtub scene is the best but it's a close second
"jack are you behaving your self " jack:" feck off " lmao
WHAT DID YOU SAY!?
Bishop Brennan has and always will be the best of Father Ted, cannot get over his awesomeness.
kick bishop brennan up the arse
@@nicki9407 *_CRIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!_*
I've just realised the power of characters in Father Ted.
It did a huge part in calming the view of the Catholic Church even though there were a lot of atrocities still happening.
Ted, Dougle & Jack are the real people that priests are, whilst Brennan is supposed to portray the god fearing evil terryfying priests, all his mannerisms seem to be hateful at every turn, but he's made an ass of at almost every appearance, maybe this is simple to everyone, but I just keep finding things I love about the series.
Also, don't know if it's official priest wear but that Cape even looks like Dracula
Funnily enough that video shows him being a good father as well which adds even more nuance to character. He is massive hypocrite for Catholic clergyman (yet decent person as such), obnoxious and self-centered and he definitely has personal grudge on Jack and Ted. Maybe for a reason as well.
"and as for this..............cabbage". Brilliant
"they were only nuns", God I love Dougal.
Nuns are people too.
Donald MacCuish nuns are nuns
Rubric Marine
Nuns! argh!
@@yermanowiththehairfromdown5618 I hate nuns too, except for 1 or 2.
As for this CABBAGE. "They were only nuns." Nuns are people too 😂😂😂
It's comedy GOLD
It's hard to believe that Bishop Brennan was only in three episodes, as he made such a huge impact! Also, how could a 'best of Bishop Brennan' compilation not include any scenes from the Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse episode?? Never mind though, enjoyed this very much...every scene of every episode is a classic. 😆😆👍👍
"What would the following words suggest to you? Jack sleepwalking and bollock naked?"
I'm an Italian Christian (not Chatolic, but respect the Church) living in Ireland for 25 years (to date); and I remember to whait to watch Father Ted on television all the Time. Even if at that Time I know only few words... What a Time. I still Love this series:
Amen *
Good man.
Fil-im... I love it. Whenever I feel low, I watch Father Ted or Phoenix Nights.
You can really tell Jim is a classically trained actor with great diction but knew exactly where the comedy was and how to work together to get it.
The 3 episodes he's in are all in my top 5
"You do not have an area unless it's a kind of a play area with sandcastles and buckets and spades".
*gets introduced to the Pope*
"HE DID KICK ME UP THE ARSE!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH........ CRILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bishop Brennan is modelled on a bishop I knew very much growing up in Ireland, in mannerisms and arrogance he is the pure clone of Seamus Hegarty, the former Bishop of Derry.
He’s just died in September. Any good memories of Seamus?
@d co I think Bishop Casey was more of a friendly type, though of course the son is based on him....
according to Jim N, he's also a composite of all the Christian Brothers he came up against growing up in school. I'll vouch for that, every single one of them had Len's exaggerated bearing, the belittling sarcasm, the pompous arrogance, the accent halfway between culchie and thespian, he got the whole thing absolutely perfect.
@@deluxedjsireland224 Teachers in general of that generation were often sarcastic, overbearing and awful..... not just religous ones.
@@glen7318 absolutely. I had some great teachers in my CBS education but most of them were exactly the way you describe it. I wonder if the kids these days have to put up with that shit in a CBS or were they a breed that's died out. When anyone asks me what the (lay) teachers were like I direct them straight to this Pat Shortt sketch, if you haven't seen it already give it a look, you will recognise this man from your school years guaranteed. I was lucky enough to meet Pat Shortt a few years ago and tell him how bang-on he got this character, I had 10 years of these teachers, primary and secondary and I'm guessing Pat had a few of them as well.

@MoodyDude *_CRIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!_*
I would never kick you up the arse
"The lights are on but there's nobody home" - that pretty much sums up Dougal!
A few years ago, my mum and I went to see Hamlet at The Barbican, starting Benedict Cumberbatch. He was very good, but throughout the first act I kept focusing on the actor playing Polonious- I knew him from somewhere and spent the time trying to figure it out. Then suddenly it occured to me and I whispered: "It's Bishop Brennan!"
lol i have never been able to take jim norton seriously as an actor since even when i see him play serious roles i still laugh
Jim Norton played the Russian politician Alexander Kerensky in the 1970s series Fall of Eagles. Patrick Stewart played a very realistic looking Lenin in the same series.

Thanks Ted
This show is special. I bet it's on God's Top Ten List and it's seen everything.
“And as for this… _Cabbage.”_ is genuinely one of my favourite insults.

Careful now.
Careful Now!

The bit where he gets out of the taxi and runs to the house, screaming and with his cape flying up is the best Bishop Brennan scene! 😂

Love the shriek from the audience when Ted claims the rabbit droppings is caviar!

Stench Robinson Jim Norton clearly had a soft spot for Dermot Morgan; in all likelihood, their paths had crossed previously, given that Irish theatre/tv actors were prob quite low-key in the mid- to late 90s 👍
@Stench Robinson I saw that too. It was quite touching.

Yes

Oh man, Bishop Brennan is a MEAN bastard, but God almighty he’s hilarious.. I think his episodes are probably some of my favorites. The chemistry/tension between the characters is outstanding.

"What would the following words suggest to you: Jack, sleepwalking, and bollock naked?"
@Top Tier Bellendery *Ted:* Oh No.....
"What are ye looking at, hah?" to the Pope and his Cardinals. That delivery killed me
I love the way Brennan keeps swallowing Ted's ridiculous lies about the rabbits; he just takes it for granted that something stupid and nonsensical is going to happen so doesn't even get suspicious.
Also, I always found that the funniest bit about the railing handcuffs isn't that they didn't cut through the chain or the railing, it's that the fence was easily big enough for one of them to fit through if they just crouched down.
"Feck off!" "What did you say!"
"How's the son?" WHAT?!!
The son of God! How's the Son of God? How's the world of religion? HAHA!!!
THERE'S YOU! THERE'S FORREST GUMP, THERE'S FATHER JACK!! ALL WATCHING THE FILM!

I always come back to father ted but always with a heavy heart just wonder what else we could be watching
RIP Dermot Morgan and Frank Kelly. Two great Irish comedic legends.
U went to Las Vegas while that poor child was supposed to be in Lourdes 😂
And as for this... cabbage!
I remember my Dad (we're Irish) talking about how great Father Ted was. In Ireland, is common if you become famous to move to Britain because you'll get better exposure there but my Dad said that Ireland would have never greenlit something like this because it's depiction of the church (especial a Bishop in a bath with a woman). Ireland does love its dark comedy and dark themes but it would never have shown the church as anything but holey in the nineties. Of course Channel 4 was available in Ireland so it didn't stop Father Ted being available to the entire population so in the end it really didn't matter.
Nah that's not quite accurate. RTE ran a comedy show called Leave it to Mrs O'Brien in the mid to late 80s about priests and their housekeeper (it was a tame inoffensive type of comedy like 70s British comedy) I think they were concerned it would be too similar. I believe they did make an offer for the show along with the BBC but they went with Channel 4 instead.
Ireland was getting far less conservative by the mid 90s and developed more risqué type comedy shows hosted by Seán Moncrieff and Barry Murphy (of Apres Match). It was initially shoved to a late night timeslot to test the waters but became very popular. RTE entered it's golden era by the 2000s making some actually pretty good stuff. After 2008 it went to crap and doesn't produce anything original anymore. Copies of reality shows and daytime tv. Utter muck.
