According to Graham Lineham the reason they did the sewage gag is because during the Father Stone episode when filming the golf scene they used two rain machines and it was raining hard anyway so all the actors were soaked to the skin. When filming was done Dermot Morgan said to the writers "what are you going to do next? Cover us in shite". So they wrote this episode especially for that.
Ted explaining the difference between small and far away to Dougal reminds me of my conversations with flat earthers.
I still don't get it. Only got it once.. mind you I'm a bit like Dougal! 😂
It’s essentially the same conversation.
The moon is small.
The sun is faaar away.
It is flat
if the earth is flat how can we have mountains, hills and dig holes underground.if it was flat, we'd just pop the bottom and see the sky.
This is so old that Graham Norton is horrified when Dougal thinks he's 40. Now he'd be flattered!
Graham’s 57 now! 😆
@@stephenmurphy2212
He’s not aged well at all......but his career has ☺️
The "small far away" line get quoted as much as monty python.
It's actually quite educational for Flat Earthers who misunderstand perspective.
"now go,on go,on go,on go,on"
@Tone. careful now.
They pack for holiday, get in the car and just before they leave "where will we go on holiday?" 😂
I think this guy actually makes watching father ted funnier, well done I didn’t think that would be possible
It's the charm of seeing someone watch it for the first time.
It’s better watching it with someone
Ted was a long time ago. In an interview Norton said it's weird, kids coming up to him saying they love him in it, "You weren't born when I was in Father Ted!"
J.J. Of course it’s different mate. This was broadcast at a time where there was a limited number of channels and lots of people saw it because of that. What makes it feel special to norton in modern day is that with all the plethora of content available, people who watch Father Ted have to make a conscious effort to find it and watch it. Hardly stupid logic.
Nice work as per usual. Dermot and Ardal were very cold that day when they were covered in that slurry. Ardal found a farmhouse in the area and begged its residents to let him have a bath. They kept the bar of soap, he used.
"We're here, Father. Feck off." - the amount of time I've spent laughing hysterically over that is unreal.
"Fucking hell" From the chirpy burpy cheap sheep episode is the one for me.....
@@tonypate9174 It's this and Mrs Doyle's "it's got cocaine in it" line.
Always loved the joke that even though it’s July 19th, Jack having had his most recent bath last Christmas means he’s “just had” it
Pat Shortt, the actor who played Tom (the guy driving the sewage truck), is actually one of Ireland’s greatest comedians. He was part of the Irish comedy duo D’Unbelievables with Jon Kenny. You should see his other stuff like Killinaskully, another Irish sitcom he was in, and films like The Garage and The Flag.
'cocaine and raisins are not the same thing' ... you learn something new everyday
I'm familiar with the inverse holiday, where it's so crappy that being home again feels like the holiday instead.
The small/far away scene wasn't in the original script. It was ad-libbed by the cast in rehearsals and then pencilled into the finished version.
"Guess that will come in to play later" - Aha, I see you have Tedded before Mr Taffe!
There is a 'magic road' here in the UK. In fact I think there's a couple of them. One is a tunnel that goes under the river Tyne. The way it was built kinda gives an optical illusion as the tiles on the walls are not parallel to the road surface so as you are approaching the exit going north The wall tiles kinda makes you think you're going straight or slightly down hill but you're actually going up a small gradient. It's hard to explain but you think that your car is going to speed up slightly but infact you need to give it a bit more gas to get up the small incline. It's really odd.
I will point out that it might not be the Tyne tunnel. It could be the Mersey tunnel, or the Dartford tunnel. Not sure.
There`s one in Ayrshire it`s called the Electric Brae.
You forgot two life lessons, Always connect your trailer and lock your door
"It's got cocaine in it" 😂😂 Pauline McLynn's delivery of that line is just brilliant 😂😂😂
This was the first episode I ever saw, my dad thought it was speed 3 and tried to show me it because Id just taken my pet rock for a walk
Graham Norton's character, Father Noel, appears in 2 other episodes. One from Series 2 where they're stuck in a plane with him. And Series 3 Episode 4 where they encounter him in a similarly claustrophobic environment.
It delights me on levels I never thought possible to hear you do the “Small...Far away.” line.
Hi Noah, I really enjoyed that thank you. I didn't bother watching this show when it originally was on TV, same with Inbetweeners and Still Game but thanks to you I'm watching them with you and really loving them. All the best to you! X
This was the TV appearance that really introduced Graham Norton to TV audiences in Britain. It was as a result of his appearances here that he was offered his own show 'So Graham Norton' on Channel 4 ....and the rest is history.
Yep. Between Father Ted and his first chat shows on Channel 4, he also did some standup comedy stuff as well.
Actually he got So Graham Norton after winning a Best Newcomer award when he stood in on The Jack Docherty Show on Channel 5.
Just found your channel the other day and subscribed. I love watching Americans reacting to Father Ted. Not everyone gets the humour but you seem to get it no problem. I also love the way you play along, almost as if you’re a character in the show.
17:11 I can imagine many people were shouting Graham Norton's name at the screen.
@@bonechip01 I see what you did here! 😉
There actually is a road like Ted said in Scotland. But it only looks as though things a flowing "up" because of the topography of the surrounding area. It's called the "Electric Brae".
One near me in Ireland too.
This is one of the funniest episodes, Graham Norton was always amazing in this.
The only thing that could be worse than being on holiday with Father Noel is being on holiday with Jedward.
Jedward have calmed down a lot, and are using their platform for good .
small, far away is one of the most perfect jokes ever.
You reacting literally to EVERY joke and line is part of the reason I love to hate your videos. In all seriousness, I'm addicted. Great work!
"Get off the Car, Joaquin Phoenix!".
I now hope one of his friends hears this and puts it on a T-shirt.
My favourite episode with the classic 'small far away' gag.
Start watching fawlty towers it is hilarious
Oh my gosh yes, and only 6 of them?
12 in total 2 series with 6
Not as funny as father ted
It’s so sad how Dermot Morgan (father ted) died so young, after suffering a heart attack just 1 day after filming the last episode. 😢
Cocaine cake? I always assumed it was powdered sugar. That explains all the blackouts...
The reaction to Fr Jack on the yacht at the end is my favourite
There really is a magic road in Ireland in county down. The terrain around it looks fools ya into thinking the hill is going up but it actually goes down. Ireland is magical
Haha love this! I've often wondered if other nations would find it as funny as we do. And just as an FYI he was Irish dancing not Line dancing
So many quotable moments from this. Small faraway, cocaine, the day the ice age ended. Fairly sure all are widely available on t shirts
They did a documentary a few years ago about Father Ted, it was called "Small far away"
On the subject of the “Roddy Doyle” books mention around 3 minutes into the video, you need to watch “The Commitments”, The Best Irish Film ever made 😂😂😂🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Until Sing Street came along!
@@stephenmurphy2212 In my Opinion, I think Sing Street is garbage
@@spots7630 So are your manners 👍. And you're wrong too. IMDb, Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes all rate Sing Street more highly. And they know better than you lol
@@DiseasedMrT No you're actually wrong here. I've seen Sing Street, the acting is horrible & the writing is terrible. & reviews don't matter, the audience opinions are more honest.
@@spots7630 That's the thing. Those sites aggregate a small number of professional reviews with thousands of reviews by ordinary viewers. So it reflects both critics and the public audience.
I saw The Commitments back in the day and it was pretty good, mainly because of the music rather than anything else. It might well be better than Sing Street, I honestly don't know or care. I just don't like people being needlessly rude on the internet.
Said it before and I'll say it again - we want to see "American Reacts to Father Ted (#25)"!
If you like this episode there is a kind off sequel in season three (episode 4) called The Mainland.
July 19th is actually my birthday 🤗 what a first class series, and an entertaining reaction, thanks a million 👍
It wasn't line dancing its was Irish traditional dancing, and Graham Norton's first appearance to the UK. Keep up the video's as I really enjoy them ;)
I think you should react to "The Plague" next. That's in the second series of Father Ted. In that episode, Bishop Brennan comes to the parochial house to inspect the security arrangements after Father Jack is found sleepwalking naked, and Ted and Dougal have to conceal the presence of several rabbits in the parochial house from the bishop.
Father Larry Duff must of always dreaded getting a call from Ted.
He's the Kenny of Father Ted
@@adamphillip5305 Yes, your spot on!
Hi Noah, another good episode, I really missed this show. It was this program that introduced Graham Norton to those of us outside of Ireland. Father Jack seems to think he has reached the promised land, I wonder how those young ladies get him back to Craggy Island ??
Ah, the week's holiday in the caravan. Highlight of the year when I was a kid. Not as bad as this, obviously. Surely the big 'week away' is something to be done in a future episode of Derry Girls. I never understood how British people, or even my own classmates in school, could go off to Spain or somewhere, and for more than a week. Were they all rich or something? Ted and Dougal's holiday is much more relatable for me, and even then they did 2 weeks as well.
This is a good episode to start Americans off with, just so they can go "Is that Graham Norton?"
Though I would never support the paper, the Sun used to do promotions like that - get 2 weeks holiday in Spain for £20 per person. Of course it would all be through one company which sponsored it and they would charge more for advertising space because more people would buy the newspaper.
Yeah it's Graham Norton 😂. His episode in the cave is the funniest 😂. He gets trapped "under a big pile of rocks" after singing bohemian Rhapsody 😂.
Most of the actors were stand up comedians in Ireland including Graham
Graham Norton proved to be indestructible in the Mainlands episode
Most of the other priests in Father Ted were named after fellow journalists Graham Linehan and Arthur Matthews worked with.
Yep first time I ever saw or even heard of Graham Norton was in Father Ted, I must admit he is very funny in this series.
In the dim and distant pasta Snickers bars were sold under the brand “marathon”. It was changed to match the American branding in the 90s.
Pasta?
I'll always be an Opal Fruits fan myself
@@Noobsaibot21 Opal fruits, made to make your mouth water !! I liked Opal Mints too !!
@ PassiveSmoking I preferred the original name, the same thing with Opal Fruits/Mints Peanut/Toffee & Chocolate Treets.
In the us “marathons” were a completely different bar. A long, stringy thing made of just chocolate and caramel. I wouldn’t say “no” to one right now.
@@cpmenninga We had something called a Curly Wurly which was the same content but in a lattice shape. I liked them but they tended to shed the chocolate a lot while you were eating them.
26:25 don't forget the travel Scrabble
July 19th...Ah-ha, Ted. Ice Age Ends!
i am keep watching this for the last 25 Years ...My wife said she need something new....
if your still watching Father Ted, here are some classic ones you should see:
Entertaining Father Stone
Passions of saint tibulus
tentacles of doom
the plague
Cigarettes and Alcohol and Rollerblading
new jack city
flight into terror
"Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep"
"The Mainland"
"Escape from Victory" (part 1)
"Kicking Bishop Brennan Up the Arse" (part 2)
I'll be doing the show monthly until a complete it! I'll probably keep going in random order though so thank you for the episode suggestions!
@@taffe316 thank you very much 👍
Kicking bishop Brennan up the arse is the best episode by far
Your Father Ted reactions are great mate! 👍🙂
Love the channel man. Lots of my fave shows.
Naked guy actually did look like Joaquin Phoenix! 😂😂
Yaaaaas give the man a coconut Graham Norton !
I remember that when Father Ted was released on TV in the UK we also had The Vicar Of Dibley & if you liked Father Ted you didn't like Vicar Of Dibley & vise versa
The mad dancing priest is Graham Norton famous TV host
It was just the unit at 23:50,then the tanker suddenly attached itself.
It’s So Graham Norton. Which is the name of the first incarnation of the chat show that he basically still does as The Graham Norton Show.
That moment when Graham Norton was on [name your drug here]!
Graham Norton's character is brilliant. Hyper!
Please watch Fawlty Towers or Outnumbered if you can!! Absolutely love those shows.
That actor that played Tom is Pat Shortt he's a great actor. And for many year's he did start in many movie's and TV show's that where done by the RTÉ, Irish Film Board, Channel 4 and Film 4. And I say he should be acting in Movie's and TV Show's for the BBC, ITV, Fox, Touchstone, Universal, WB, Disney, Sony and Columbine by now. Since it should be his big break. Like the actor that played Mad Eye Moody in Harry Potter. And I say it's about time Pat Shortt did win a Golden Globe Award or a Oscar by now to.
I love your Father Ted videos, looking forward to more.
Top comedy, Graham Linehan went on to produce another top comedy...The IT Crowd
And Black Books
I love Father Ted episodes
You should do a reaction to Murder in Successville , either the Jamie Laing or Richard Osmand episode. It's pretty unique!
Been enjoying your reactions to Father Ted, mate.
I recommend checking out episode 3 of Series 1, “The Passion of St. Tibulus”. That’s truly one of the best episodes in the entire show!
Chunky fries garlic mayo and cucumber salad with Jamie and the cats.. Was A great reaction I look forward to these x
Saved it for a watch later. Great episode choice.
Twenty five episodes is very long by our standards. For us a normal series is 6 half hour episodes, not 22 three-quarters of an hour episodes. Fawlty Towers and The Young Ones both ran for "only" two series of six episodes each.
This was funny especially cow line, that was holiday from hell. Great reaction Noah
Graham Norton has a very interesting life. When he moved to London when he was younger he survived a hate crime. Was stabbed and in intensive care. The doctors didn't think he was going to make it. You should watch the documentary on his life. He is now a writer with critically acclaimed novels and the best talk show host on TV.
The truck driver's name is
Pat Shortt , he's a very talented actor , musician , comedian , and writer .
I do know for so many years he has been acting in so many Movie's and TV Show's down by the Studios in Ireland and the UK. He should be staring in Movie's and TV Show's down in the USA. Then the hole world will know who he is. He might even win a Golden Globe Award for that as well.
The credits are speed up in the UK because of adverts and running PAL
British sitcoms are very different from American sitcoms. For one thing, British sitcoms are actually funny.
But British humor in general tends towards very dry humor and situations that are completely absurd; they often don't even TRY to present a scenario that could happen in reality (as weird a life as the character's in Friends live, it's at least conceivable that every event in that show could actually happen in real life. Father Ted, on the other hand, is totally departed from reality and sanity).
Father Ted and Black Adder are two of our best.
Go on. Admit it. You love Father Ted. Go on. Go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on
Have you ever checked out Blackadder? Personally I never really got into season 1, but seasons 2-4 are brilliant! You should totally do a reaction series for them.
Same, couldnt get into season 1.
Oh season 1 was a mess, 2 was much improved and a lot less tacky.
Series One was the best Blackadder by far for me, although I know that this opinion goes against the majority view. To my mind, it was far more original, fresher, funnier, darker and grander. The others were great as well, but Ben Elton's influence turned it into more of a conventional sitcom with historical costumes and references. By "Blackadder Goes Forth" the irritating "since..." gags and set pieces had the whip hand.
When's the next one coming???? Really enjoy your videos cant wait to the next one keep up the good work from the uk😆😆😆😆😆😆
Great video mate. Would love to see you react to 'The smell of Reeves and Mortimer' 'Harry Enfield and Chums' and 'Black Books'
The Larry Duff character is like Kenny from South Park...
Get killed over and over in most episodes
I always wondered if the South Park lads were Father Ted fans and liked the idea of a character that seemingly gets killed off yet miraculously resurrected later on with no explanation.
This is the theatre of the absurd, who of you out there have heard of this idea? Its beauty is in its ability to confront us at our point of absolute self belief and challenge us to take our beliefs to the absolute end, ourselves.
If you do a reaction video of Father ted make sure before you watch the episode Mainland to do a few reaction videos to the 90s bbc comedy series one foot in the grave it will make a hell of a lot more sense if you do.
One things that bugs me is , if there on holiday why haven't they changed out of their priests uniforms?
Heres a list of brilliant father Ted episodes you might want to react to in the future:
And God grant unto him eternal rest
The Mainland
Old grey whistle thief
The plague
competition time
Escape from Victory
Kicking bishop Breanna up the ass
Us Brits love our Father Ted
I have been watching this since it came out around 2004 and I have seen at least 50 times. Last person I watched it with was my sister and it's nice to watch along with you 😀🇬🇧
You should watch moon boy is very funny another Irish show from Ireland 🇮🇪🍀
23:11 Why puncture the tires and then just walk away and not kill them
Quality stuff. If you’re doing more Red Dwarf, please do ‘Dimension Jump’ (Series 4, Episode 5). Couple more suggestions of programmes you’ve not done yet - Rab C Nesbitt - best episode is ‘Touch’ (Series 3, Episode 2), which also features a familiar face for Doctor Who fans. Also, Phoenix Nights - no particular preference, but Episode 2 of series 2 is class.
It was very popular I loved watching Father Ted you should do give my head peace
