    RIP Pat Mustard.

    You sexy bastard.

    RIP.

    Despite his famous roles he always seemed like a nice man. He used to frequent two businesses I worked in and he was only ever polite and erudite.

    I hope he has a box big enough for his tool.

    RIP.

    Sorry to hear this. The Snapper always struck a chord with me as I was also 19 and pregnant when it came out :)

    If the Snapper was released now, imagine the offence it'd create.
    We'd never hear the end of it.

    Probably wouldn't see the start of it either :D

    Generally devestated by this!! Georgie Burgess and Pat Mustard were brilliant characters!!

    RIP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,185 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    The characters he played were tough ones.

    In hindsight and maturity, he was an outstanding actor.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,631 ✭✭✭✭antodeco


    At the weekends he's a swimming instructor in the pool, and he fought in Vietnam and he's a former Mister Universe, and he thought Elvis Presley how to play karate

    And yet, a new version was released last year, with no offence created

    RIP Pat Laffan, the funniest Irish sex offender of all time. Brilliant in the Snapper, but especially Father Ted. The Pat Mustard episode was always my favourite, and I still quote Pat to this day: "a couple of nice pints", "I'll be off then Padre, off on my rounds", "my last girlfriend...she died from exhaustion". Even now, I'm thinking of him phoning up Ted "it's me father...ya ignorant bastard" :pac: A true legend of the comedy world.

    Georgie Burgess the rapist

    If the film was the way you remember it, it quite simply wouldn't have worked.

    Sharon was drunk in the carpark and looks lustily at Burgess saying "A man!".

    Doyle set it up as inappropriate yes, but there was never a suggestion of rape.

    Here - have a second go:



    Thanks Mr. Laffan by the way.

    I think its an interesting point though. What happened in the movie, would be perceived as rape in todays world, or at least could easily be called rape. However, as you showed above, clearly it was in some way consensual.

    Never seen The Snapper. I'd no idea he did a lot of stuff outside Father Ted. Great that he did though.

    RIP.
