When father Ted is in the picnic area and Benson comes out, he says I'm going to reach into my pocket, he pulls out a packet of cigarettes and says "do you get it?". Is that out of some ad or something have often wondered about it.

I thought he just says "cigarette?"

One of the jokes no one ever gets: the flight out of terror episode where the guy is listening to Mr Bean on cassette. Ha, Mr. Bean never talked in any of his episodes.

"Dougal, how did you get into the church in the first place? Was it, like, collect 12 crisp packets and become a priest?"

Well that's not completely true. He introduced himself as "Bean" at least when he visited the hospital.

he has said a lot more than that. when he goes to a scary movie with his girlfriend, she tries to take some of his popcorn and he says "no!, it's mine".


just off the top of my head, i am nearly positive he says more.

EDIT: tedddyyyy

Awesome-O

Chewing gum for the eyes

Yeah but I think the point of the joke was that he rarely says anything throughout the epidodes, therefore it would be pointless to listen to Mr. Bean on a cassette.

I'm pretty sure that most people would get that joke.

Anyone I've ever chatted to about the episode never got it, I had to tell them.

Maybe it's an age thing. When the episode was originally shown Mr. Bean was pretty current.

Not an urban legend either he admitted it on the podge and rodge show.:cool:

There was the "sight gag", where a famous actor (I think) who's face appeared in almost every episode, usually on a pillow cover in the bedroom or the sofa.

Could never remember who it was or why, but he's always seen at least once.

I think he was called Fr Billy Currie who was the Keyboard player with Ultravox who had a massive hit in the early 80's with a song called Vienna.

Graham Linehan must be a fan of 80's music because there's some great references to songs in various episodes (including Fr Noel Furlong singing The Whole of The Moon in the tiny caravan).

Still dont get it ...guess i had to be there

Pj!

So many little things spread throughout the episodes. And the brilliance of Dermot Morgan. I love how he answers the question at the end of the episode: 'Night of the Nearly Dead'. Brilliant!

Definitely one of the best comedies ever. It looked old and cheap when it was made and it still does, so for that reason it hasn't aged at all.

Dougal is great and Ted is even better. Father Jack is not funny.

Makes sense. I was only young when Mr. Bean and Father Ted were out, only appreciate them more years later.

For me it has to be the football episode. Also fav ever FT quote has to be "the italians love their fashion don't they ted, do you remember the fella who was so good at fashion they had to shoot him" LOL amazing comedy one of the best ever made in my view
