When will Father Ted quotes die?

DEFTLEFTHAND

I watched one the other evening and I became aware that I wasn't laughing. It was the Chris the Sheep episode.

The only dud in the series perhaps?

no way. that episode is hilarious.

It has magnets on its tail, so "if you're made out of metal, it can attach itself to you"

It has a retractable leg so it "can leap up at you better"

It has a tremendous fear of stamps

Thundercats Ho

Have ye still...have ye still got the big 'aul hairy arse Ted?

I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. Your voice is just so boring...

The quotes are still coming - I don't believe it.

What? F***ing Hell!

It has four ears, two for listening and two "are sort of back-up ears". Some might be on the inside of its head

It has no mouth, but instead has four arses

Its yawn sounds like Liam Neeson chasing a load of hens around inside a barrel

Anything to be said for another thread?

"Sheep like all wool braring animals instinctively travel north, where it's colder and they won't be so stuffy."

I'd have to put the King of the Sheep episode in my top three. It's beyond surreal even by the standards of the show, with so many brilliant moments.

A very subtle quote that often gets overlooked: Ted is bigging up to Fargo Boyle how peaceful and quiet the parochial house will be for Chris's stay, Jack then loudly falls down the stairs, taking every bannister with him on the way down. Ted turns to Fargo and, completely deadpan -

"It would be an insult to you if I finished that sentence."

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.

That's mad Ted.

Ted: I think it might work, Dougal. I know it'll work. It will work.
Dougal: It won't work, will it Ted?
Ted: ...It won't, no.

Here's a bit of trivia for you Arghus. Fargo Boyle is played by the real-life husband of Mary from Glenroe.


Well holy God/Fúckin hell!

If Life of Brian is anything to go by, it'll take a bit of time yet, Bignose!

More Ted trivia ... the priest with the boring voice in A Christmassy Ted was on the cover of the single of "How soon is now"

Thats mad Ted

Is there anything to be said for saying another mass?

What about some love for John and Mary:

Mary: Tit face! You've got a face like a pair of tits!
John: At least that's one pair between us!

You have used two inches of sticky tape, God bless you.

Ted: You were a priest why did you have to take his clothes?

Todd Unctuous: I dunno... it was going that way.

That joke used to fly over my head when I was a kid.

Father Fitzpatrick: And this is the last known photo of Herr Hitler; he's signing a few death warrants there.
Ted: Funny how you get more right-wing as you get older!

For me that would be one of my least favourite episodes. I love Father Ted and I think all the episodes are funny, but that would be one of the last I'd choose to watch (reluctant to say definitively the worst episode though!). In particular, I never found the
"f-king hell" thing funny at all but that seems to be the most quoted bit of the episode. Choosing my favourite episode or even top 3 is a lot tougher - possibly Henry sellers, lent and pat mustard episodes.

Yeah I don't like the sheep episode so much
