    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.

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

    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.

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

    "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.

    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.

    Is this thread small or just far away.
    Small.

    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.
