Father Ted.... Far-ted

veryangryman

Just wondering...

1) Did they call him Ted because it makes the title sound like Farted

2) Did anyone else ever notice that hilarious oddity before me

3) Maybe that's what made the show so initially funny before a ball was kicked?

Father Ted does not sound like Farted. Unless....

No. Doesn’t sound like it at all.

Time to dewax your ear canals or sober up.

I think it was called Fr Ted because he was a priest. And priests are called Father and his name was Ted.
I had never noticed.

Small - far away

We don't live in the midlands and don't use glottal stops, so the joke fails for everyone else I'm afraid OP.
But you enjoyed it, eh?

Here's another fun Fr Ted fact. Linehan and Matthews didn't come up with that "small, far away" joke. Go to 0.29.

Reminds me of Wall Street. I read that Charlie Sheen or a producer was worried the characters name “Bud Fox” sounds like Butt ****s. Nah, even with an exaggerated American accent it does not sound like Butt ****s.

Butt ****s, for want of better words, is good.
