When will Father Ted quotes die?

speedboatchase

I get it. It was a great show. But it ended in 1998.

Do we have to wait for every single Irish person born in the 1970-80s to die before we can be freed from the shackles of hearing the same quotes over and over and over again?

Yes, I do realise that many responses to this post will include Father Ted quotes. Well done, lads.

Down with this sort of thread.

I'm so, so, so .... sorry.


Now that's sarcasm.

The last knowing reference to Father Ted will be on RTE 2 on December 17th 2036.
Thereafter only accidental references will occur.

Not a lot has come along since that has equalled or surpassed it, which is disappointing in a way.

They will never die

Maximus Alexander

Probably around the same time that the Monty Python quotes die.

People still quote the life of Brian and it still make me laugh!!

Akrasia

"Don't Mention the War!"

"To Be, or Not to Be, That is the question"

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" (paraphrased because Jesus was a bit too wordy for a decent quote)



(and yes, I did just compare father ted to Jesus.)

I could never figure out the fascination with it, sure it was foolish and a laugh but it's well past its sell by date.

If you ever say that to me again I'll put your head through the wall

They will die, but it will turn out that they just drank a bottle of dreamy sleepy nighty snoozy snooze and they'll wake up again.

...****in hell.

Is this thread small or just far away.

It was iconic in that many of the quotes became catchphrases and have made it into everyday use, not every Irish or Irish-derived tv show can claim that.

Sorry, what was the topic again? I was concentrating too hard on looking holy

Anyways, I have cake. Anyone want some? There's cocaine in it!

I have met people born after 1998 who utter Fr. Ted quotes

This Fr Ted quoting thing isn't endemic in Irish Society, it's purely a boards thing from what I can tell, as it's the only place I encounter references to the show these days.
Wrecks my head, do the quoters actually think it's funny? Or this other thing where they just call people "Ted" randomly, like, "I wouldn't know about that now Ted" or something. WTF is that all about?

Looking forward to someone quoting my response here and responding with a Fr Ted quote HAHAHAHAH THATS AN ECUMANICAL MATTER LOLOL

So is that something from the Fr Ted show?

Duffy the Vampire Slayer

People have been predicting the demise of Father Ted quotes for at least 10 years. We're still waiting.

Like others have said, it's popularity might have declined if any other Irish show had been one tenth as funny but none has.

ok. Can we perhaps have HTML tagging or something for Fr Ted quotes? I can't tell if something is a quote or not. I've probably seen all episodes but maybe 20 years ago at this stage so I can't remember every single one of them like other boards members.

Lots of Irish flags at the euros had Fr Ted quotes plastered on to them, i'd say there was about 17 million of them out there. Maybe all boards users of course

Channel 4's 4OD have the whole lot in a boxset and do still advertise it and encourage people to watch it, they insert new ad's inbetween the breaks so they're still making money from it.
