13:45 fun Easter egg: Tom tries a sledgehammer, then a baseball bat, then a chainsaw, then finally chooses a sword. Same weapons and in the same order as Butch in Pulp Fiction when he’s deciding what to take back downstairs in the pawn shop in *that* scene
The trick with a lot of our comedy is to try not to over-analyse it too deeply. "Rats! Hairy Japanese bastards" is funny just because it's a funny line in its own right.
Bishop Brennan was modelled on a genuine Irish bishop who fathered a son etc etc. The series parodied the catholic church and highlighted the hypocrisy with bishops in hottubs with women whilst drinking champagne from gold plated glasses while priests were forced to live "celibate" lifestyles and abusing the odd alterboy

My friends and I had been smoking a little Mary Jane's before watching this episode back when it was on TV here in England, and it was a struggle to get off the floor after Jack's "Hairy Japanese B'stards!" outburst. Hysterics is an understatement. I still don't know if we've fully recovered 25+ years later.
Great timing to have the rabbits episode up on the Easter weekend! 😀🐰🍫🐣 Apparently there were some complaints about the "hairy Japanese bastards" line, because some people thought it sounded racist; but it was never intended to be more than a senseless non-sequitur, in keeping with the show's surreal nature. I agree that this episode is more wacky than usual - not least because the rabbits are able to get themselves around to any part of the house, without any assistance and without being noticed by anyone! 🐰🐰 And yes, Tom is the same maniac who covered them in shit from the tanker in the caravan episode! Next time on _Father Ted:_ Jack gets a new look, Dougal learns some new rules...and Ted must deal with an extremist on Craggy Island!
Rabbits make wonderful pets, if looked after properly. We had indoor bunnies. The first one we got when he was 8 weeks old. He lived until he was 10. The vet told us he was a she, so we called him Daisy. At around 5 months old, little dangly things appeared, so had to renamed Dessie, so as not to confuse her/him! Shortly after that my Mum rang me to tell me that my sister had a new boyfriend. Guess what his name was?! Bunny Dessie was such a character and still missed over a decade on.
Hi I worked for a company in the UK surveying cell phone sites for upgrade. I was in the north west of England and I arrived on a site at about 6AM and the whole place was covered in wild rabbits and they were not afraid of me and just keep on eating as I walked through them. There was at least 50 plus.
Got a rabbit as a teenager and was assured it was male. One day my little brother came in and shouted there were baby pigs all over the garden. The male rabbit gave birth to half a dozen rabbits. 😅
Had the same thing with my rabbit and the school's one we looked after over a holiday whenI was a kid. They were "together" for a split second before being whipped apart by my parents, but still she ended up having 6 babies!
That reminds me of the time I was in school & the teacher asked why I didn't bring any other them lovely raisins in, I replied "sorry miss, the rabbit died"
Father Larry Duff scene cut out, for anyone that doesn't know, Larry was offered to take the rabbits, as it was his all time fantasy to have rabbits running his house. However, he decided on 12 rottweilers instead and gets attacked by them!
The guy who plays tom, his name is pat shortt and the episode you watched with the song for eurovision, the guy hosting the show, his name is john kenny, they were a duo called the d'unbelievables, you should check them out
Pat Shortt (Tom, the rabbit killer) has his own TV series called Killinaskully, and it is well worth a watch. He play multiple roles and nails it in every one.
Fun fact, filming the scene in the bed the rabbits pissed on Jim Norton (Bishop Brenin) he was apparently extremely angry about that and Graham Lineham one of the writers hid from him 😂
Yeah, because all the showers at the TV studios were out of action and he couldn't get washed properly... To hear Graham Linehan talk, Jim Norton can be as scary as his character when the mood takes him!! 🤣🤣
Lots of the Ted supporting cast are comedians winging it but Jim Norton is a proper actor who often played tough guys - there’s an episode of The Sweeney where he’s scary AF
The Japanese reference is to do with the misguided but much employed 'buck teeth' representation of the Japanese - especially in WWII propaganda, so rats having prominent incisors....
Great reaction clip, right up Queen's street esp with that race course bit. Still feels fresh as ever this show. And yes you will get a good dose of that Brennan in a later episode
Its great that the fact you ave just got a dog is the first thing that comes to mind. Did you know that getting a new dog can often lead to changes in lifestyle.
Are you guys editing this video or is it the whole episode reaction because I can't tell whether the father Ted episode is skipping or its your youtube being edited. There's loads of scenes missing
@@garethcain6855 Probably isn't, but as I understand it there's only so much of an episode you can show, so some stuff has to be cut. Just an editing decision, I'm guessing.
King counted them and I am here thinking count later on I know someone who has guinea pigs and she kept them separate in a enclosure so big a double bed can fit in there, she went to school and later found out her dad removed the divide bit and she then had tons
That's sort of cruel if the guinea pigs were kept solitary, they're very social animals and get very stressed and anxious when alone, I think Switzerland even made it illegal to only own one guinea pig
Hi guys Ian from Glasgow Scotland you should react to Scottish sitcom about a load of old pensioners you'll love it the laughs they get up to and their patter is brilliant .been enjoying your reactions all the best to you both .
Oh, Plague of rabbits? I had never even heard of Father Ted, I was at my Mothers house and got a phone call from one of my mates, who told me to turn to Channel 4 and watch this programme with priests and some rabbits. I think it took me about 30 seconds to become totally hooked. Still think it is just about the funniest series I have ever watched, now seeing you folk discover it is almost as funny!
80,000 from the south and 20,000 from the north served in the British army in WW2. Was Fr Jack one of these? Possibly. Maybe Fr Jack was a priest there.
I'm tellin' you, from the UK, Father Ted is credited in the press with being a main reason for the fact Ireland doesn't have anywhere near as many young men signing up to be Catholic priests, seriously! They'd never been mocked so much as this before. It's actually damaged the Catholic Church deeply. Which I think is the final, biggest joke of all! Mocking was needed. (I'm simply sad that co-writer Graham Lineham hasn't been able to find work or income since 2018, because he's been "cancelled" by the cancel culture over a joke he made in a later, different series which was regarded badly by trans activists. 😞 )
"Na we're jus stupid🤷♂️" 👏😂😂 Ireland were neutral in ww2,I checked lol "Ireland remained neutral during World War II. The Fianna Fáil government's position was flagged years in advance by Taoiseach Éamon de Valera and had broad support."💜
The official definition of the nations is confusing. It’s all the British Isles. The Republic of Ireland is an independent nation within the British Isles. Northern Ireland is a small part (and I think bizarre) of UK. The UK only existed after 1707, but the Union of Scotland and England happened in 1603, because Elizabeth I’s closest Protestant heir was James VI of Scotland, whose mother was Mary Queen of Scots. Nobody seems to mention Wales, which most of the time was regarded a Principality and not a Kingdom. I hope you are now more confused than ever. Vinny x
"Hairy Japanese b@stards!" has to be one of the best lines ever, particularly as it is just so random and unexpected
It makes me laugh every time I see that bit.
Im getting that on a t shirt
I remember watching it on Channel 4 and I fell to floor in hysterics and my side hurt for days!
The brown rat orignated from Japan, he thought the rabbits were rats.

Never noticed that before! 👍
U sound like u took to much time watching the bum love pulp fiction bit ....ps don't be that involved it's weird 😢
@@Tattedup85 Nope, pretty sure it's actually a bit of trivia from the DVD extras😉
@@Tattedup85 keep making yourself look a right knob it's entertaining.
@@Tattedup85 What a muppet you are. The writers also inserted sequences based on other films in each & every episode.
The trick with a lot of our comedy is to try not to over-analyse it too deeply. "Rats! Hairy Japanese bastards" is funny just because it's a funny line in its own right.
Jack's completely off-kilter exclamations almost killed me on a number of occasions from gut busting laughter!
I *KNEW* you'd laugh your arse off when Jack mentioned the "rats" :)
Bishop Brennan was modelled on a genuine Irish bishop who fathered a son etc etc.
The series parodied the catholic church and highlighted the hypocrisy with bishops in hottubs with women whilst drinking champagne from gold plated glasses while priests were forced to live "celibate" lifestyles and abusing the odd alterboy
Reckon you’ll love the IT Crowd after you finish Father Ted, it’s the same writer and equally as brilliant
True, Black Books has a similar sort of humor too:)
ENGLISH SHITE
'equally brilliant'- I don't think so, never liked it. It idn't have any kind of cultural impact like Father Ted

The guy who plays Brennan is brilliant. He plays the stern and scary Bishop so well.
This actor narrates James Joyce's Ulyssis, audio book to perfection.
It was good when ted kicked him on the bum, he thought he was going loony for a little while. Good actor.
The way he speaks reminds me of the way Sergeant Neil Howie speaks (Edward Woodward) in the Scottish folk horror movie the Wicker Man (1973).
Perfect Maynooth accent
He was in Harry Potter as well
"They must have burrowed in you know rabbits?"
Haha I love that line.
Ikr! Burrowing into A LIFT! 😂
“Two seconds is all it takes.”
On a completely unrelated note, congratulations on your big news! 😊

Bishop Len had a bit part in Frasier
Len? *You address him by his proper title, you little bollocks!*
also Cheers and LA Law
The brown rat orignated from Japan, he thought the rabbits were rats.
Season 3 has to be my favourite, so many great episodes.
Father Ted has 25 eps: 6 in s1, 10 in s2, a Christmas special & 8 in s3.
Yeah Tom " Would you believe me own dog did that to me. Doesn't it look like a face" Brilliant.
"Me own Da"
Tom scared the hell out of me as a kid... Pat Shortt is a legend!
Great timing to have the rabbits episode up on the Easter weekend! 😀🐰🍫🐣

And the Catholic church was outraged by the portrayal of Bishop Brennan in the bath with a woman.

Uk shows are short as we dont get writers in to fluff the episodes. Often great short and sweet!
Watch the one where Jack gets sober and the one where Jack gets a pet brick both very funny.
O yea Jack gets sober.... that's good.😅

ive been waiting for you to see Jacks "rats" rant. lol, classic.
I was waiting for the reaction to the ‘hairy Japanese b@stards’ comment from Jack. You didn’t disappoint 🤣
"Can we get a bunny?"..."No but, how about a bun(ny) in the oven?" 😁 Congrats guys.
Got a rabbit as a teenager and was assured it was male.
One day my little brother came in and shouted there were baby pigs all over the garden.
The male rabbit gave birth to half a dozen rabbits. 😅
Lol, watching Byker Grove. Its actually a show that is based in Newcastle, which is around 10- 15 miels from me.
I was actually born in Newcastle

Raise your hand if you just knew King Boomer would have a laugh seizure when Jack yelled, "HAIRY JAPANESE BASTARDS!"
😂😂😂
🙋♂️
:) 10:23 I was patiently waiting for that part with a huge grin on my face. I wasn't disappointed.
Flipper, Flipper the Priest! 😂
YES??
That reminds me of the time I was in school & the teacher asked why I didn't bring any other them lovely raisins in, I replied "sorry miss, the rabbit died"
Bishop Brennan’s coming over to have a word with you father, about your nude sleepwalking.”
“Nudie Father Jack!!”
This is fast becoming my favourite channel
This is pure perfection. A big bunny episode just in time for easter.
Love it when you do the wascaly Wabbit. I've never saw father Ted back in the day, so it's new to me too. It's brilliant isn't it 😂
Yes more father ted
"Flipper sounds like a fun guy" is a much more meta joke than you think. A dolphin named fungi famously stayed near the Irish coast for some 35 years.
Baby rabbits Yeh! Baby Muppets Yeh!
Father Larry Duff scene cut out, for anyone that doesn't know, Larry was offered to take the rabbits, as it was his all time fantasy to have rabbits running his house. However, he decided on 12 rottweilers instead and gets attacked by them!
Awww, I love you two, I really do! You are both completely AWESOME! :)
So, here's a slightly awkward cuddle coming at the pair o' yez:
**CUDDLE!!**
Am I imagining it, or did queen B do "Father Ted!" in the "Craig David!" style ?
I love how utterly disgusted Queen Boomer by Tom, LOL!
The guy who plays tom, his name is pat shortt and the episode you watched with the song for eurovision, the guy hosting the show, his name is john kenny, they were a duo called the d'unbelievables, you should check them out
One of my favourite episodes of Father Ted. The Bishop is Ted's nemesis and pops up now and again, LOL.
Not really his nemesis, just the scary boss. His nemesis would be Father Dick Byrne surely.
Father Ted best show ever ever ever. I really enjoy seeing your reactions to it
Can't wait for the next episode, my favourite
Funniest line in the series "address me by my proper title...YER LITTLE BOOOLLICKS!"
Confusing or not you nailed it. Northern Ireland here.

Did you notice the bong in the back ground 05:45
Rats are originally from Asia. We didn't have them in the west until the spice road was established.
Maybe that's what jack meant.
