It's a funny little thing about Sitcoms that I've recently taken interest in. Generally speaking, most of the protagonists are TERRIBLE people to facilitate conflict, and conflict resolution. Not every show does it, or even in the exact same way, but there's an overwhelming amount of it. Zack Morris Is Trash is an amazing channel that highlights this from the show "Saved By The Bell".
@@tyleralberty4993 very true. the whole point of Seinfeld's final episode was to highlight just how awful all 4 of them were as people. Rick and Morty - rick is an ass; Bojack Horseman - same deal but more nuanced; Friends - most of the friends are pretty bad people; Black books - Bernard is Bernard; IT crowd - roy is shallow and very repressed; Everybody loves Ray - Ray is pretty self centred and ignorant; King of Queens - that guy is always lying to his wife and doing whatever he does; Becker - need i say more; Itd probably be harder to think of a sitcom where all the characters are fantastic people 😅
"That's a very defeatist attitude!" "Oh, right, sorry about that" I always think of that scene when im getting a bit defeatist , it snaps me right out of it!
I live in Sweden, and they have been trying to pump this empty ballon increasingly each year. Haven't watched that horror show for 15 years, and seriously wonder if all grown ups who watch it really enjoy it, or perhaps somewhere realise it's bollocks.
1:07 - 2:05 Mrs Doyle's 180 there is priceless! "I don't think I've ever heard anything more beautiful in all my life....... I don't think they'd let you play carnegie hall with a voice like that..."
The My Lovely Horse video actually parodies a real Eurovision song, practically shot for shot. ("The Fr Ted video was "almost a direct copy" of 'That’s What Friends Are For', by Irish band The Swarbriggs, according to Frontman Tommy Swarbrigg").
I just love how Dougle's 'record collection' consists of ONE record that he'd never turned over until just now.. by accedent! 🤣🤣 The silly humour in this show is still unmatched!!
I genuinely love the(dream version of )the song and often come here just to play it.sounds like a forgotten Joe Meek tune-especially with that wig out at the end.
@@montanus777 Usually we don't, but Graham Linehan often uses it for comic effect (such as the "profanity bleeper button" in the IT Crowd and the jackhammer and the soundproof door in Black Books). Considering there is plenty of uncensored swearing in other episodes of Father Ted I imagine that the censoring is also used here as a comedy device rather than because of broadcasting requirements.
Good lord. "shave a bollock"... I've been saying that for years and had no idea where the hell I picked it up... Watched this show when it first came out and then must have subconsciously picked it up. Funny thing is, this is one of my favorite shows of all time, I'd put it and the IT crowd up there just below Monty Python... And I've watched this episode, God, 20 times all the way through, at the very least. Only just now for whatever reason realized that he said shave a bollock and that's where it came from. Totally inconsequential stupid thing I know, but my mind is blown. How did I not notice it any of those other times?
@Eleni 1979 I agree you're not sure what I'm talking about at all. ICY-T is a reference to Ice-T, unlike the prior poster suggested. That's it. And yes, ICP existed. Congrats on your terrible taste.
@Eleni 1979 This is what you concern yourself with in your life? That ICP's age wasn't accurately portrayed in a youtube comment where their precise ages weren't actually the point? Like most people who've encountered you, count me among those who pity you.
"Cold Porter, George and Irene Gershwin , Chris DeBurgh" ...Funny for several reasons, including the fact that Dermot Morgan and Chris DeBurgh were good friends in real life.
Ireland needs to find a new "Father Ted" for their Eurovision song contest 2020 in the Netherlands next year. They had a wonderful record of past wins but it's been pretty dismal of late. Interestingly, this episode is a bit prophetic in that there is a current movement trying to get more public involvement in selecting Ireland's entry.
...actually, fathers Ted and Dougal's song has two notes, not just one...a descending minor third in the end of each sentence, which provides the song with some harmony and dimension...I'm sure the judges took that into account...don't let father Ted's guitar sounding like it had 13 strings and the jury pushing the church off the train of the European song contest fool you...
@@jacbuscus3354 It's a pretty specific reference that probably only people from England/Ireland would get. Even then they'd have to be old enough to remember the 80s. The song they're referencing is Vienna, by Ultravox. It's just kinda a bizzare synth-pop song and the joke is just the same absurdity youd expect from this wonderfully absurd show.
@@blackhawks81H Thank you for explaining that! The My Lovely Horse video is itself a parody of 'That’s What Friends Are For', by Irish band The Swarbriggs. Tommy Swarbrigg said he was good friends with Dermot Morgan, too.
We want to avoid the whole gray area of actually being in love with the horse.
...but the end of her tail! What a beautiful piece of tail!
and that was even before Kenneth Pinyan
I love how Ted is secretly the most greedy and scheming man

Or "what's that now, Ted?"
"That's a very defeatist attitude!"
"Oh, right, sorry about that"

I wonder how much fun they had when filming this show. It really is sad Dermot passed at such a young age.
Frank Kelly (Father Jack) died due to complication of Parkinson's disease, on the eighteenth anniversary of Dermot Morgan's death.
Wow that is mind blowing, I never knew they both passed on the same day
6:21 LOL The scene which Ted swears his mouth off is truly one of the funniest moments in Father Ted.
Prob in the top 5 moments, of any comedy series, ever... 💕😄💕😄💕
RIP, Legend.

It's actually more relevant today than it's ever been, eh? ;)

I'm from Finland and honestly, you have to have a sense of humor about the contest.
I hope you're having fun watching it tonight!
if u watch eurovision and actually like it, you're a certified wanker
I love that the both had exactly the same dream 😂 🐎
What I love about this is how many people in Ireland loved the Eurovision in the 80s and 90s and yet they satirized the shit out of it anyway

Dougai: Take this lump sugar baby, you know you want it! bwahahahaaz!
I get this song stuck in my head for days.. My lovely horse you're a pony no more!
even weirder because ponies never turn into horses, its like saying a dwarf grew up to be tall. just sayin.
Yeah, foal would’ve been the right word to use. Never mind, it’s immortalised in history now.
@@Bongwater33 it's as if they wrote it like that deliberately, to make a joke or something

I have watched this episode dozens of times over the years and I still laugh out loud.

We'll be celebrating their music - in secret.
The board with the songs on it at 16:55 is so underrated
I never noticed it! Thanks for pointing it out!
"It was the same note over and over again"
Watching in 2019.
Those awkward gaps before the last word of each line really make the song.

Father Jack shoots the guitar - lol
12:07 scared the horseapples out of me when I first saw it! Still one of the funniest moments of the entire series, to me at least.
Father Jack shooting the guitar is like Elvis shooting the TV when Robert Goulet was on.
And bring you to the horse dentiiiiist
That lines always make me cry!
Just play the f***ing notes!
No, not the f***ing first one!

"I think you should just go on now and count your sour grapes before they hatch."
Dougal “half one, and the competition is on in” ...
Ted “May”
Such a great line!
‘The drums of Africa are calling me home by Sean O’Brien’ would have won if Ted and Dougal hadn’t performed
6:21 - 6:53
My last two brain-cells negotiating
"It's a terrible tune, it's the same note over again," said nobody to Taylor Swift.
The part in the video where Dougal holds the mike upside down kills me every time
the cinema manager from the Passion of St Tibulus is Fred Rickwood the presenter of the Eurosong Contest
I wondered where I had seen him before!

Do they play it on the television or do people just find their own copies for fun?

The best thing about Dougal is when he goes off about the beast of craggy island:)

This is the reason why we have history of the fire saga
Awesome episode...

why oh God born me too early..
