@@rc-dk6by I’ve noticed that King Boomer doesn’t laugh at jokes he doesn’t get. Which shows he’s not laughing on queue. I’ve seen American reactors that have laughed at a joke. That references some obscure British topical story from 20 years. And you know they don’t get it and are just laughing on queue for the camera. I think it says a lot that Boomer pauses the show. To finish laughing and talk about his thoughts on it. Even when he’s completely wrong.
Ardal O'Hanlon created the Dougal character by trying to create a human who was like a pet dog, always happy, never sees bad, forgets everything and gets easily distracted
Ardal is lovely. My partner is a carer for adults with moderate to severe downs and autism and other people with IDs in a day recreation service. He had taken them into one of the local pubs for coffee etc and Ardal who is friends with the owner had stopped by to see him. My partner of course recognised him, (anyone here would lol) My guy said hello to him and he stopped and spent time chatting with all the lads who he probably couldn't understand but it didn't phase him at all, he was chatting away to my partner probably wondering how he can handle 5 adults with different intellectual disabilities and needs -it ain't no picnic but himself is really good at his job, probably one of the best they have down there and he doesn't even have the highest qualifications compared to the other staff but they know it. So Ardal was talking to him about it while fending off a hundred questions that he could barely understand which himself has to translate but he was really patient and friendly and then took a few pics with him and the lads as well. He's a genuinely lovely guy. He doesn't come from far from here and he came on the comedy scene around the same time as Tommy Tiernan and Dylan Moran who are comedians and actors too and both from THIS town where Ardal was visiting. 🇮🇪✌️
I was convinced that the person doing the English dubbing over the Cuban priest would turn out to be actually there the whole time, but just off camera until they left.
Not many shows manage it, but Father Ted gets better and better until the end. You can't help fall in love with the characters as well --- Just a great show all round.
The voice over translating from Spanish is the show’s producer Geoffrey Perkins. A legend in comedy production, he died suddenly in 2008 at the age of just 55.
Father Ted is one of my favourites. IT Crowd is on the same vein & I would recommend. The characters are spot on & it’s just the stupidity that makes it all magically funny.
We're getting there King and Queen! This was a classic, again, stick with it. Now you're getting more acquainted with the characters, it's only going to get better for you. :)
Love your reactions, you guys have great chemistry. And the thing you're talking about is called 'The Streisand Effect'. The more you try to suppress or hide something the more people want to see it and go looking for it.
'The Passion of St Tibulus' seems to be based a bit on the 1976 film 'Sebastian'. A lot of sunburnt Roman soldiers running about in the nip and speaking Latin. That kind of thing. By the way, the line: 'Down with this kind of thing' uttered by Ted and Dougal, is sometimes amusingly seen here in the UK on banners at demonstrations
I remember reading a book of the original scripts for Father Ted, written by Graham Linehan. He said that it was based on a French film called Je Vous Salue, Marie, which was screened at Trinity College Dublin. A friend of his went and was hit by a nun on his way out of the auditorium.
I'm from northern Ireland and I absolutely love this show.ive had many funny times watching father Ted. Ended too soon. But you my friend have made it like brand new again with your genuine fondest for the show and the Irish humour. Well done.
I hope you and the Queen see this message, I am watching things I've seen before and re-enjoying them. It's like watching it with a mate that's never seen it before...and enjoying the vibe.
A reaction channel without any reactions, that's a novel idea! Pausing the video to comment on it is much better than talking over it, the muppetry between you two makes it better😁
I am not sure, but I think the Implication is that at some point in the past Ted has spent some likely quite "hedonistic" times in Cuba with the Cuban priest hence his friendship with him and Ted understanding him.
background on Dougal's "Blockbusters" dream: Blockbusters was a 1980's game show for students (maybe 16 year olds or a bit younger?) hosted by Bob Holnes where you picked a letter in a hexagon from the board and the answer starts with that letter, leading to the meme "Can I have a P please, Bob". The implication is that Dougal is very smart in his dream or remembers stuff properly when asleep etc
Bishop Brennan having a son against his celibacy vows is based on Eamon Casey who was Bishop of Galway. He fathered a son with an American woman and had used Parish funds to provide for the kids upbringing.
I watch your reaction videos BECAUSE you pause and talk about the show! I've seen Fr. Ted enough times to know the dialog almost by heart so it's great to see someone reacting to it for the first time! And with Fr. Ted you sometimes HAVE to pause to regain composure otherwise you'll miss stuff!
Also, pausing is completely necessary to dodge copyright. The idea is that this is "fair use" for purposes of education ... You could argue that showing the entire show uninterrupted - and then commenting on its terrific editing, and acting and the methods used by the SFX and audio teams, amounts to education. But no. You're not allowed to do that - because people could stop just after the episode finished, and there would be no "educational" content SO - the compromise is that only short clips are allowed, followed by some commentary - to make sure you're not getting the entire show for free Failure to do this, especially with Channel 4 shows, means a copyright takedown or even a strike
This is one of many TV shows which mention the reveal/twist in the crime thriller film The Crying Game. I'm Alan Partridge (which is great) is one of the other sitcoms which mentions it.
Being from Ireland and having grown up watching Fr. Ted in the 90s, it was such a revolutionary comedy on the hypocrisy of the Catholic church, so controversial at the time when the Church was loosing its control in Ireland. Really well written and acting and timing is perfection. You have so many good episodes ahead with Fr. Ted as I think they got better as time went on. Enjoy and I look forward to seeing your reactions, it is so interesting to see how you perceive an Irish comedy and whether you get the subtle jokes. Thanks for bringing Father Ted back into my life.
You should check out Bottom starring Ade Edmondson and Rick Myall. If you like the slapstick of Father Ted and the crudeness of Inbetweeners then you will like this show.
There's an amazing RUclips video of part of the live stage show version of Bottom, where Rik and Ade start adlibbing. It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen on YT.
Loving the King getting an early inbetweeners reference into a Father Ted reaction 😃 taking of which, next inbetweeners is the infamous Fashion Show episode....it's gonna be epic!
I grew up with all these shows here. I honestly usually hate reaction content... but I can chill with my smoke watching you guys enjoy it, and it's entertaining. Cheers for the chill. 😁👍🇬🇧
The whole point of reaction vids is to enjoy the reaction of the people watching. weve seen the shows a million times so we know whats coming. its great seeing fresh reactions of people and remembering what we thought of these shows when we first saw them too. Dont change a thing.
The reason why Father Ted is the best sitcom of all time, in my opinion, is that there is not one bad episode. And the reason for that is that there's always at least one moment of pure comedy magic; at least one moment that makes each episode as memorable as can be. I'm looking forward to you guys reacting to which moment thta may be per episode 😊
Your stories in between reactions are really interesting like the King being loved by the older ladies. I bet he's had his fair share of 'how you doin's from them
We've a long way to go but I can't wait for 'Kicking Bishop Brennam Up The Arse' or the plane journey episode or the Speed one, ah feck, there's too many good ones to mention.
I'm irish myself (non-practising catholic!!) & just ADORE FATHER TED, so sad he passed away so young. They had to stop the soap obviously because of it. Great to watch 🤣🤣
On the all-important issue of the squeaky chair... WD40 is a cleaner and water displacer (as in Water Displacement formula 40). I know it says it's a lubricant on the tin, and it's true in a short-term kiind-of way, but in for something like this it basically cleans away what was left of the last lubrication. For general purpose lubrication (e.g. non-squeaky chairs and door hinges) you probably want 3-in-1 oil. And to complete what I know about oils, Deoxit D5 is great for cleaning electrical connectors and de-crackling volume controls.
glad you enjoyed this episode of Fr Ted - (for your squeaky chair you might want to try powdered dry graphite - its used to lubricate key locks - may work on your chair)
One of the things that made father Ted so well thought are the little Irish things brought to extreme like Mrs Doyle's insistence on people having tea. Her "go on, go on go on" is just a perfect example.
I'm a native Texan, 44 years old. I would see this show on the local PBS station along with Doctor Who, Are you being Served, Keeping up Appearances, Red Dwarf, and other classic BritComs all through my xholdhood into my teens. So many awesome shows.
I came back because I love this episode so much, and love your reaction to it - but even now, after nearly 30 years something just occurred to me. Mrs Doyle loves to provide tea, but never asks anyone how they take it. Simple brewing strength? Milk? Sugar? and Lord forbid - sweetener? I mean the very idea is mind boggling, but no wonder anyone except Ted and Dougal declines a cup of tea from her, because she makes tea how SHE makes it, and you're going to get that whether you like it or not! She militarised tea making - scary stuff.
You made a good point about how protesting something occasionally causes it to become more popular than was originally intended. Father Ted does occasionally make have a point to make if you look beyond the absurd and surreal humour. I won’t spoil future episodes by saying how, but even the Catholic Church itself is lampooned to great effect. It’s worth watching with a critical eye. Also, you’ll find that some peripheral characters make infrequent appearances, like John & Mary; but without doubt the greatest of them is Bishop Brennan. You’ll get to see him again, and each time he appears it’s somehow even more hysterical than the last! Complete side note, a good few years after Father Ted finished, some members of the cast and crew got together to record a kind of documentary on the making of Father Ted. Jim Norton, who plays Bishop Brennan, said that he could never bring himself to watch the final episode he was involved in because he found it so upsetting, given that Dermot Morgan (Father Ted) died the day after they wrapped up filming, and he’d such a great time filming the episode with him. It was kind of heart wrenching. It’s available on RUclips if you fancy watching it after you’ve completed all the Father Ted episodes. It’s called ‘Near, Far Away’. Very interesting to watch, especially if you wanted to know what the actors behind some of those characters are like when they’re not in character! Happy watching!
In my translation studies class, we learned that dubbed films are more common in countries that have a history of fascism. Fascists favoured dubs because they were easier to censor
So good to watch you guys enjoying these brilliant shows. Graham Linehan wrote some amazing stuff. He makes a cameo in another amazing comedy series called Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place. Such a clever show and funny as anything. I think you would really like it. Other comedy greats starring in that are Richard Ayoade (IT crowd- must watch), Matt Berry (Toast - must must watch!) and Julian Barrett (The Mighty Boosh - must watch). Keep up the good work guys and keep laughing your asses off! Dan from England
it's so great you're both reacting to father Ted. I'm about the same age as you Boomer. Well done with the channel and all your success. Bonus points for the Jim Cornette t-shirt 🙌
Royal boomers. anyone who is complaining about pausing or cuting things out clearly doesn't understand how reactions have to be done to avoid copyright 🙃 keep doing your thing !
You're right, I didn't even hear about Jimmy Carr and Ricky Gervais' most recent standups until the "Down with this sort of thing" campaigns that were all over the news about a month later.
There is some more cape action from the Bishop in a season 3 episode that I find hilarious entitled Kicking Bishop Brennan Up the Arse. So I recommend that episode when you get to it if you are watching all the episodes.
Love father ted.Classic. Who cares 😊about the pausing of the videos isn’t that the point of reaction videos. Your reactions make me laugh doing a great job and look forward to more.
You’re one of the few people who I don’t mind pausing because I always laugh when you laugh soo I’d be pausing it too!! I could only imagine us getting along :-)
In case you may have actually have been wondering or thinking about the Church's reactions to any Films there when you got a bit lost in thought, Boomy . . . There was a bit of a Church kerfuffle when The Life of Brian (Monty Python) was about to come out and they were trying to get it banned everywhere. It didn't work out everywhere - and those cinema's that took no notice got record audiences travelling to them just to see it . . . And I think it was the same when Mel Giblet's film The Passion of The Christ came out, too . . . ?!

@Liam i agree. I love the pauses whilst the Muppets giggle.
Ardal O'Hanlon created the Dougal character by trying to create a human who was like a pet dog, always happy, never sees bad, forgets everything and gets easily distracted
He succeeded then - he absolutely behaves like a dog at times. The way he sits at the window watching for things sometimes
Interesting! That was also the advice given to Simpsons writers when thinking about Homer - just imagine he's a dog!
Ardal had no acting experience at all, he'd spent all his public appearances as a Stand-up comedian.
And he nailed it. ❤
Ardal is lovely. My partner is a carer for adults with moderate to severe downs and autism and other people with IDs in a day recreation service. He had taken them into one of the local pubs for coffee etc and Ardal who is friends with the owner had stopped by to see him.

Just a recommendation - keep watching until the end of the credits, there’s often more to enjoy during or after them.
We've seen the original a hundred times , we are watching it with you to see your amazing reactions because so few Americans actually get it !
Fr Ted is one of those rare comedy programmes I can watch again and again -it's often repeated on Channel 4- and it still makes me laugh.
Dougal in the real world is a Leeds fan, I'm very proud of that..
In the UK its called Cluedo, so strange hearing people call it Clue
Yeah I was thinking I know start with Clue and end in o, I forgot full name, so thanks

Also, you’ll find that some peripheral characters make infrequent appearances, like John & Mary; but without doubt the greatest of them is Bishop Brennan. You’ll get to see him again, and each time he appears it’s somehow even more hysterical than the last!
Complete side note, a good few years after Father Ted finished, some members of the cast and crew got together to record a kind of documentary on the making of Father Ted. Jim Norton, who plays Bishop Brennan, said that he could never bring himself to watch the final episode he was involved in because he found it so upsetting, given that Dermot Morgan (Father Ted) died the day after they wrapped up filming, and he’d such a great time filming the episode with him. It was kind of heart wrenching. It’s available on RUclips if you fancy watching it after you’ve completed all the Father Ted episodes. It’s called ‘Near, Far Away’. Very interesting to watch, especially if you wanted to know what the actors behind some of those characters are like when they’re not in character!
Happy watching!
In my translation studies class, we learned that dubbed films are more common in countries that have a history of fascism. Fascists favoured dubs because they were easier to censor
So good to watch you guys enjoying these brilliant shows. Graham Linehan wrote some amazing stuff. He makes a cameo in another amazing comedy series called Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place. Such a clever show and funny as anything. I think you would really like it. Other comedy greats starring in that are Richard Ayoade (IT crowd- must watch), Matt Berry (Toast - must must watch!) and Julian Barrett (The Mighty Boosh - must watch). Keep up the good work guys and keep laughing your asses off! Dan from England
Not just him but his fellow co-creator Aurthur Matthews also make a few cameo appearances as well.

Great fun,The milk float with Fr Dougal is my favorite,packed with inuendo and madness,thanks for the laughs,you two are the best!
Keep up the awesome reactions, pause as much as u need, well done guys, Father Ted OG🇮🇪
You're right, I didn't even hear about Jimmy Carr and Ricky Gervais' most recent standups until the "Down with this sort of thing" campaigns that were all over the news about a month later.
There is some more cape action from the Bishop in a season 3 episode that I find hilarious entitled Kicking Bishop Brennan Up the Arse. So I recommend that episode when you get to it if you are watching all the episodes.
hey KM - BM , the show is based around dougal with Ted playing the straight man and Jack and the other characters as comedy support characters
Welcome to wonderful world of Ted. Been a fan since the first episode aired in '95. I love seeing first reactions to my favourite TV show of all time.
Love father ted.Classic. Who cares 😊about the pausing of the videos isn’t that the point of reaction videos. Your reactions make me laugh doing a great job and look forward to more.
Father Ted is a sit com you never get tired of watching over and over again.
I love Father Ted so much is one of my favourite programs and I’m really enjoying watching you get to enjoy it for the first time😂
You’re one of the few people who I don’t mind pausing because I always laugh when you laugh soo I’d be pausing it too!! I could only imagine us getting along :-)
Aaahhh come on folks, you have simply GOT to watch until the very end of the credits!!
In case you may have actually have been wondering or thinking about the Church's reactions to any Films there when you got a bit lost in thought, Boomy . . . There was a bit of a Church kerfuffle when The Life of Brian (Monty Python) was about to come out and they were trying to get it banned everywhere. It didn't work out everywhere - and those cinema's that took no notice got record audiences travelling to them just to see it . . . And I think it was the same when Mel Giblet's film The Passion of The Christ came out, too . . . ?!
