I know people like short clips, but for any Americans watching, my advice is to watch this in full episodes. Father Ted is one of the greatest comedies ever made. It has real heart to it as well and you will end up in love with the small cast. Do yourself a favour - Go on, go on go on.
Who would have thought that a sitcom about catholic priests on a tiny island would have been such a hit?. This show hit the ground running. Even the much loved Only Fools & Horses took about three seasons to get in gear but Ted just exploded and kept on going. Every episode is just wonderful, its difficult to find fault with it. The writing is just brilliant and its a heady mix of satire, parody and farce with a slightly surreal flavour (one running gag is that whenever Dougal looks out of the window its always some odd footage or giant insects etc) and bizarre characters all crammed onto an island. I cannot recommend this show highly enough, its an absolute gem of a sitcom. I would go so far as to say its impact in the late 90's was not unlike the Pythons arrival in 1969.
Dermot Morgan had a history of parodying Irish life and he was very good at depicting a slightly more farcical version of the characters that were around him. The raw material was there and he knew how to mould it. He got himself into hot water with conservative Catholicism with his predecessor to Father Ted, "Father Brian Trendy", a loose parody of a priest that was popular in the media at around that time called Fr Brian Cleary. My understanding is thet Fr Ted was made in the UK because the natonal broadcaster in Ireland wouldn't make the series due to worries about what might happen when the church got pissed off. Thankfully the Catholic church no longer has that kind of power in Ireland now and in its own strange way Fr Ted played a part in the emergence from church influence that began in the late 1970s. It wasn't just great comedy it had a part in societal change.
@@mikekelly5869 They never offered it to RTE. That’s just a myth. Also, the church’s power had waned so much by the 90s that something as mild as Father Ted was aired as soon as it was released by RtE anyway.
"I hear you a Racist now Father. How did you get interested in that type of thing?" Priceless. Would really like to see you react to full episodes, they're only about 25 mins long. Love your videos, enjoy your channel. Thanks for posting them 😃
There's a scene in the same episode where he's standing at the window looking out and shouting. There's a black square on the window that makes Ted look like a certain well known Austrian gentleman from WW2 😂
Ah now, Ted is a work of genius. Its a sort of Anglo_irish thing that works on two levels, if you're non-Irish, its super hilarious, if you're Irish, its super super super hilarious. It encapsulates many facets of Irish life and attitudes in a sort of magnified, but entirely understandable way. It is magnificent in every possible way.
I'm English but I was brought up in Roman Catholicism and Father Ted is my favourite sitcom by some distance. Check out the episode "Tentacles of Doom", it's a great dig at Catholicism as well as being hilarious.
Actually it’s worth watching that whole episode it’s brilliant. There is the lingerie department one where the priests are stranded in a lingerie department and ted saves them. And there is a brilliant episode when ted and Dougal enter a song for Europe, they have stolen a tune from a previous entry , but thinking they will get exposed resort to using their original tune
Many years ago, I was in a pub in Richmond. I was availing myself of the facilities and in the gents was a chap I recognised and I started talking to him. We were still chatting when we left the gents and went back to my mate, who said to me "I didn't know you knew Father Ted". Then it dawned on me that I only knew the guy because I'd seen him on TV. Beer may have been a contributing factor leading to my mistake. Another great clip - the Christmas special where they get caught in Europe's largest lingerie department is a hoot. Also, same episode when they're on a plane and it's about to crash.
@@barrymarshall Biggest lingerie section in Ireland you know. Father Ted was just brilliant. Such a sad loss, but at least we have some great timeless comedy.
Every episode of Father Ted is a classic in it's own right but you really have to watch Series 3 Episode 6 which is titled 'Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse!' and is as hilarious as it sounds! Btw, you need to watch The IT Crowd too as it's also written by Graham Lineham, who co-wrote Father Ted and he also wrote Black Books which you equally need to check out too!
Craggy Island "Fun Day" And the "Down with that sort of thing" Episode about a movie they were trying to ban without even knowing what it was about. Every episode was filmed in my local area on the west coast of Clare Ireland. There are a lot of local people in it.
Father Ted, fantastic! Great reaction as always, Amanda, glad you liked it. It's surreal comedy at it's best. I love the appalling Father Fintan Stack, Eoin McLove, Hud Hastings and Giant Reid. And the constantly viciously bickering John and Mary who turn on the charm when Ted and Dougal turn up are a constant joy to behold. The supporting characters are all superb! Will you not have a cup of tea? Go on go on go on go on go on go on go on...😊there are so many fantastic sketches to choose from but I think a favourite is when Ted and Pat Mustard are debating contraception. Also anything with Bishop Brennan is guaranteed to make you laugh.
All of Father Ted is piss your pants funny. As an alcoholic who is fluent in gibberish I personally identify with Father Jack. But that would be an ecumenical matter. P.S. I like that your post coincides with Chinese new year.
Good Irish humour, absolutely love Irish culture it's like no other. You should react to session heads or Darren Conroy or even the 2 johnnies are brilliant.
Father Ted writer Graham Linehan also created The IT Crowd (Richard Ayoade as Moss is incredible) and Black Books with Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and Tamsin Greig), the first episode is fantastic.
Father Ted was an awesome TV series. I think you will love the "Wrong department" sketch. They get lost in a big department store and end up in the lingerie department and they try and get out without being seen. It's a Great sketch well worth a look.
This is of course very funny, but you also need to see the whole episode to best understand the humour and how Ted, with the best of intentions digs himself deeper and deeper into a hole of "racism" not of his choosing. Also, there's quite a cut between Ted leaving the living room and coming out of the front door in this clip, which explains how the news has spread about his "racism". Also, look at the window - there's a "perfectly square piece of dirt" on it - this also comes into play with hilarious unintended consequences later on in the episode.
Hi Amanda, there was the Father Ted episode where Dougal deputises for a randy milkman and every house he visits the women open the door stark naked. Dougal just delivers the milk without butting an eyelid, whilst the women are mortified to be seen naked by a priest. Then right at the end of the episode, the penny drops and Dougal announced "They were all nude, Ted." Brilliant.
That is also the one where they do a pastiche of Speed, where the milkfloat has a bomb on it and they have to stay at some ridiculously slow speed otherwise it will blow up.
For me 2 of the best scenes in Father Ted are the One where him and Dougal are trying to write a song for the eurovision contest and the other is when Father Ted has to kick Bishop Brennan up the Arse, where the bishop is being introduced to the pope and he suddenly yells out "He did kick me up the Arse!!"
The whole episode featuring this clip is hilarious. Best you watch the whole show, then the humour is even better, and not seen or taken out of context esp. as you'll understand the characters. Other favourite episodes incl. Fr Dougal becoming a milkman, the 'Lovely Girls, Ms Craggy Island + feminist pop star', The Women's author, The Blasphemous film, The Football match +part 2 of kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse, The Song for Europe Euro vision entry, The Golden cleric award...😅
This isn't even the end of the skit 🤣 If you noticed, there is a little black square on the window when the Chinese family walk away. Later on, Ted starts a rant and someone is looking through the window at just the right angle that the square positions itself perfectly over his top lip and he appears to be impersonating Hitler 🤣 If you haven't already and want some other British sitcoms to delve into, you simply must watch Red Dwarf, Open All Hours and Porridge. They are some of the biggest staples in British comedy history and they have so many hilarious skits
It is also a good example of the casual surrealism of Father Ted. For why exactly should there happen to be bit of black tape on the window, other than that, later on, it contrives to make him look like Hitler
I've never seen that before! Shame on me because that is pure genius! I really need to watch more Father Ted. If you can, see if you can find the clip where him and several of his other priests are in the lingerie section of a store because it's absolutely priceless!
Practically every moment of Father Ted is gold. One moment from episode 6, where Father Jack 'dies'. Ted and Dougal are in sleeping bags and Dougal says "There's one thing I don't understand, Ted" and Ted says "Dougal, when a man and a lady are very much in love....."
Hi Amanda, a suggestion for your reaction videos. Father Ted - ‘A Song for Europe’ - The part where Ted is trying to add new lyrics to a melody that Dougal has ‘appropriated’. When I first watched it I had tears rolling down my face. I’m sure you will too. Love your stuff!
@@LADYRAEUK and do not forget at the time Ireland kept winning the thing so many times it was pretty obvious RTE couldn't afford to win more, comedy imitated art for sure.
The intro with the shipwreck on the shore is shot at Inisheer. In the 1980's we stayed on Inishmore a couple of times for fishing. I remember sailing past that ship thinking: "well they really don't give a shite about stuff like that". We stayed a night on Inisheer before sailing to Inishmore. It was like a trip back in time or even to a parallel dimension. The landlord had no key for my hotel door, so he kicked it in. Back then the islands were the weirdest, most wonderful place to be. I heard that they are a bit of a tourist trap nowadays, but still very enjoyable to visit if you get a chance.
Amanda,you really need to watch more Father Ted episodes,the humor is outstanding,made back in the day when PC was not so prevalent,esp' the house keeper..So brilliantly funny. 😅
I've never seen Father Ted . That was absolutely hilarious . He certainly sold the Shocked Mortification at the start . Fish out of Water class Jaw Flapping .
Watching that again you may notice a small horizontal sticker on the window pane as he sees the Chinese outside .... without spoiling your fun, that comes well and truly into play later on in that same episode. 😊 Thanks for your stuff, Amanda.
The same episode has a moment where Ted invites the family back to apologize and there's a bit of dirt on the window. You should watch that part. Watch the whole episode.
Unlike a number of US series, Father Ted only ran a few short series, rather than 22 or 23 episodes a year. That means each episode is more loved as you don’t lose the memory.
@@CaseysRepository Good point. It was written by Irishmen and produced by a British company. Still a masterpiece in my opinion. I appreciated it many years after it was first on tv. Got the box set.
Try and watch all three series and save the Christmas Special for Christmas eve, if you can. Father Ted is a brilliantly crafted show and I don't think it deserves to be sliced up into convenient pieces from a viewing point of view. Though that's inevitable from a reviewing point of view. But seriously do yourself, your man, and your kids a favour and watch the whole Father Ted thing offline. It truly is a work of genius, and I think, better appreciated by the hooked fan. And you guys WILL get hooked if you give it the chance.
Episode called Speed. Father Dougal gets a job on a milk float and the former milkman is out to get him for taking his job. That episode should have won all the awards known to mankind. For everything.
Poor old Ted ... but he's such an eejit he deserves it! So many good episodes. "My lovely horse" is a fave. That's not the real name but everyone will know what I'm on about!
Father Ted is a great sitcom, love episode but this one is definitely one my favourite episodes. Please react to 'Gimme Gimme Gimme Charades'. Gimme Gimme Gimme is another great sitcom and another of my favourite shows.
Even if you don't do a reaction to it, it is worth watching the full episode as it only goes from bad to worse as it always does with Father Ted. That woman with the bags makes me laugh as one false move and she could have ended up doing the splits!
You need to give Phoenix Nights by Peter Kay a watch. It's set in a Northern working men's club in Lancashire. It was aired in the early 2000's and has a cult following. I think you will enjoy it.
I hope you are going to do more Father Ted clips. I'm really happy you enjoyed it and glad I (and others) recommend it to you. I love watching your reactions. Remember, it's good to laugh 😂x
There are so many hysterical Father Ted episodes - the one that always instantly comes to mind is when they get stranded in the women's lingerie department of a store or anything which includes Mrs Doyle.
One foot in the grave - Series 2, Episode 5 - Love And Death. Hopefully you'll find the sketch. It's with two Romanian women saying there's 'midgy' in the bathroom.

Father Ted is simply comedy gold. I've watched the entire series countless times and it still makes me laugh out loud.
The "far away cow" scene is my favourite scene in all of Father Ted. Dougal's perplexed expression just completely makes it. 😂
I loved the fact that he was wearing a Lamp Shade on his head, when he told Dugal to ''Lighten Up''.

Yes, a very funny few minutes, but you need to see the full episode for complete context. Probably the greatest piece of British comedy.
It may have been produced in Britain but the comedy is pure Irish.
The Father Ted creator also did the fantastic series Black Books.
The whole of his series is just brilliant. Watch them all if you can . Shame he died before making more.
One of the ultimate classic comedies, anything to do with Father Jack is worth a recommend straight away
Father Ted accepting the golden cleric award is very funny
"It isn't the Greeks... It's the Chinese he's after..." Perhaps one of the funniest ever lines.
You need to watch yes minister and yes prime minister. Old programme but still relevant today! Brilliant British comedy!
So many to choose from .The milkman or Eurovision or beauty contest or plane crash
You need to give Phoenix Nights by Peter Kay a watch. It's set in a Northern working men's club in Lancashire. It was aired in the early 2000's and has a cult following. I think you will enjoy it.
I hope you are going to do more Father Ted clips. I'm really happy you enjoyed it and glad I (and others) recommend it to you. I love watching your reactions. Remember, it's good to laugh 😂x
For sure! 😊
The bit in the window where he has a tache is the best part of this episode.
You have to watch the "some mothers do have em" roller skates scene
You must see the one with the milk man Pat mustard another classic lol
There are so many hysterical Father Ted episodes - the one that always instantly comes to mind is when they get stranded in the women's lingerie department of a store or anything which includes Mrs Doyle.
Ah go on...go on...
Father Ted is comedy gold.
The Father Ted, Small, Far away sketch is an all time classic.
An analogy which has lasted me a lifetime
My favourite episode is the one when the three bishops visit Craggy Island - what happens to them all and the ending is hilarious
Mrs Doyle to Father Jack: "And what would you say to a cup father?"
Father Jack: "FECK OFF CUP!!!!"
The craggy island football match is just brilliant.
As mentioned, every episode is gold. Really, reacting to ANY RUclips clip is worth while.
I'm going to do that myself right now 🤠
Some old British sit-coms are worth checking out: Rising Damp, The Likely Lads, Love Thy Neighbour, The Good Life.
One foot in the grave - Series 2, Episode 5 - Love And Death.
Hopefully you'll find the sketch. It's with two Romanian women saying there's 'midgy' in the bathroom.
👍🏻👍🏻
Genius in the making...my favourite is Mrs Doyles tea maker present...the look on Pauline McGlynns face as she walks away is priceless
He died way too soon, such a legend.
