CTYIers's favourite comedy

Ludraman

Lets get a good flamewar/random-quotes/yore-ma thread going here.

Ludraman

Family Guy

On a relevant note, I bought the Naked Camera first season today on DVD. 'Tis class. Go buy. Now.

PurpleFistMixer

Little Britain

Had to be Scrubs. Wasn't there some sort of similar thread a while back? Sometihng about father ted, maybe...

Ludraman

Family Guy

Deep down, all CTYI threads are about Father Ted.

StupidLikeAFox

ah ****, i love them all. Couldnt choose between them

RefulgentGnomon

Fawlty Towers

Its close but I think it has to be Family Guy for me.
Closely behind are Father Ted, The Simpsons and Scrubs.:v:

Mr.D.Leprachaun

Simpsons

Father Ted for teh win! He's got a lovely singing voice, very like Celine Dion.

Feral Mutant

Fawlty Towers

Family Guy, though Father Ted is a close second.

Random Fr Ted quote
"Jacobs Creek Chardonnay 1991"
"You can tell all that just from the sound?"
"Drink"

Fawlty Towers

Father Ted is funny but I think it loses it's appeal after so long becuase it's just the same old episodes - I know that can't be helped but still....

Family Guy for me.

Piste

Fawlty Towers

I chose Family Guy too, although Father Ted would be a close second.

Acid_Violet

Simpsons

It'd have to be Father Ted. So stereotypical, ball-achingly hilarious and politically incorrect. Also (this is going to take some time) :

1. Dermot Morgan grew up on my road.

2. His mother lived in my house.

3. I know his wife.

4. His funeral was up in my church, outside my primary school and I saw the congregation during PE class.

Simpsons

Hah, I went to the same primary school as you, what year were you in 6th class (for me it was 2000/2001)?

Edit: Nevermind, it's Cliodhna

elephamt king

Naked Camera

itd be family guy, little britain and father ted for me on that list.

Ludraman

Family Guy

Guess I should have allowed multiple options on this poll...

Scarinae

Simpsons

Yup, definitely should have been multiple choice! It's so hard to choose just one

Jacob's Creek Chardonnay, 1995, actually. I love my Box Set! Father Ted for me too, although i also like Peep Show on Channel 4.

"I'm sorry, Ted. I didn't know you had to follow up a good idea with lots of little good ideas."

Father Ted and Family Guy have the best quotes.

Mr.D.Leprachaun

Simpsons

Are the number of votes for non-Father Ted shows small or far away?

Ludraman

Family Guy

Random Family Guy quote:

"Cigarettes killed my father... and raped my mother!"

Anto and Moe

Ah, you'll vote for Father Ted... Ya will... ah go on, go on,go on,go on,go on,go on,go on,go on,go on,go on!

Haha LOVE!

Jim_Are_Great

Um, am I the only one shocked and appalled that Monty Python is not involved whatsoever?

In conclusion - MONTY PYTHON!

LordCran

Not the only one. But I do love Father Ted.
" I'd say you might be...the second-best."
" Oh...right."
" Well, I was thinking of those priests who work in very poor areas."
" Oh, yeah, Father Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the like."
" Well, I think Archbishop Tutu is a Protestant man."
" Oh right, so a Protestant is better than me?!"
And did anyone know that, according to Gooseman, his cousin co-wrote it?

Jack Lynch

Simpsons

"Ah go on Father. There's cocaine in it."
"What!"
"Oh no wait, i mean raisins"

Feral Mutant

Fawlty Towers

To be fair the Monty Python TV show is n't as well known as the films. Wait is this poll exclusively for TV shows? Daniel has made himself confused

Also, Father Ted and Family Guy have givven us 2 great answers to any question beginning with why.
"Because you touch yourself at night" Family Guy
"Because when a man and a woman love eachother very much. . ." Father Ted

Love

Simpsons

Chose Father Ted, but it was a tough choice. You should have allowed multiple options!

You better watch who your calling a child lois, because if I'm a child you know what that makes you? A Paedophile, and I'll be damned if I'm going to stand here and be lectured by a pervert !

I'm loving it...

You wanna talk awkward, one time during sex I accidentally called Lois Fred. Your move Sherlock.

Jack Lynch

Father, are you not going to introduce me to the new father?
Oh, right, of course. Tell you what, why dont you guess?
Guess?
Go on, have a go?
Aw but Father, it could be anything.
Still though, give it a try!
Father Andy Rielly.
No.
Father Desmond Coyne, Father George Byrne, Father David Nicholson, Father Declan Lynch.
I'll give you a clue.
NO CLUES! I'll get it in a minute. Father Ken Sweeney, Father Neil Hannon, Father Keith Cullen, Father Kieran Donnelly, Father Mick Mackavoy, Father Jack White, Father Henry Bigbiggin, Father Hank Tree, Father Hiroshima Twinkie, Father Stig Bubblecard, Father Johnny Halsspoppin, Father Luke Duke, Father Billy Furry, Father Chewie Louie, Father John Hoop, Father Hairycake Lynam, Father Rabbulah Conundrum, Father PeeWee Stairmaster, Father Tightened Lips, Father Jemimah Ractuohy, Father Jerry Twig, Father Spodo Komodo, Father Kanabramalama, Father Tod Unctious.

Shellie13

Family Guy its just gotta be!!!
I want a baby just like stewie!!! The guys a total legend!

Jack Lynch

Simpsons

I just wrote out all the names Mrs. Doyle said for Father Tod Unctious, and all you can say is that you want a baby that'll try to kill you!

Acid_Violet

Simpsons

Did I mention that a girl who was in my primary school, her dad played Father Dick Byrne. And Goose-mans cousin did write Father Ted. It's just so classic and the type of comedy those damn-yanks can't understand-what's more to love about it.

Oh, and the winner of this year's Father Ted, his specialist subject in the final was Father Ted! It HAS to be Father Ted!:D

Feral Mutant

Fawlty Towers

A year or two ago I heard there was going to be an american version of Father Ted. My guidance councellor was talking to us about . . . can't remember what exactly, some college I think. Not sure. Anyway she mentioned some guy who had gone there when she mentioned he was in a new Father Ted everyone suddenly started paying attention.
Anyone else heard anything about this cos I haven't, though I haven't really been trying.

Also, I have a blog?

Boards are giving blogs to non-subscribers now, but there are still a few glitches (ie, I cant sign into mine)

*relief* thought you'd forgot Father Neil Hannon for a second, in which case I would have had to kill you for leaving out the greatest in-joke ever.

Every name up to Father Henry Bigbiggin is an in-joke.

I think you mean Mastermind. You've got Ted on the brain

LordCran

If I went on Mastermind, I'd answer the question before last.

Jack Lynch

Simpsons

What would be your specialist subject if you went on Mastermind, Ciaran?

Scarinae

Simpsons

Specialist subjects can be dodgy though. Remember when Father Ted went on Eoin McLove's show [a cash prize!!] and his final question was "What was Pope John Paul's name before he became Pope?"
















(".........Jim?")

Jack Lynch

Simpsons

Yes but that was a general knowledge question. If you remember, he got all his questions right on his specialist subject, William Shatner's Techwars

Acid_Violet

Hang on a second.......................where's Southpark?:mad:

Raphael

Scrubs

Canada?

jono087

somewhere in central america. it was in bowling for columbine, can't remember though:rolleyes:

Acid_Violet

Simpsons

No, they should be in this poll. South Park are responsible for so much goodness in the world! Blame Canada? Uncle****er? Critter Christmas! Such genius and quality, it deserves to be on this poll! *stamps foot and bangs table*

Jack Lynch

Simpsons

Blame Canada. What genius. It makes such things as 'Cant someone else do it' and 'Fry did it' look tame. And never mind such great songs as 'The Garbageman' and 'See my vest'.

South Park sucks. I've dropped sandwiches and made better characters then they have.

I just spent all my life savings on an Apple iBook G4 12" today. I spent €1059 on it but its worth it being able to watch my scrubs DVD and then still have battery pwoer left over to post here

Gotta be Family Guy!
"Oh great there's always a baby!"
"What did you just say?! Alright pal, I was gonna watch the movie but now for the next five hours, you're my bitch! WAAAAAAA! I need somebody to console me! Maybe I'm wet? Who knows I'm a baby! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

*gasps*
Once upon a time, I would have agreed. But no more!
And you forget the genius of 'Spam Spam Spam' or 'Every Sperm is sacred'.

But South Park does suck! Although the movie wasn't that bad. It has it's moments.
