    this thread alone is making me lol. "and now we move on to liars" - classic indeed. Also, "Father, Pat was wondering if he could put his massive tool in my box".

    I can't believe that no one has mentioned the episode with Brendan Grace, where Jack gets sent to a home, or the episode where they give their vices, (smokes, drink and rollerblading) up for lent.

    Very funny guy. Sadly missed.

    Dougal's Advent Calendar:

    Ted: What did you think it would be yesterday Dougal - oh yes, Ruud Gullit sitting on a shed

    Ted: What do you think will be on the Advent Calendar tommorow, Father Jack?
    Jack: A pair of Women's Knickers!

    Holy hell that was 10 years ago?

    Scary.

    He was a incredible funny man, the kind of rare breed of comedian who managed to be very clever, very funny and very caring all at the same time.

    Miss his work immensely.

    My favourite Ted Crilly moment was in the Eurovision episode when himself and Dougal are getting down to penning the song: I laugh hysterically every bleedin' time:D:D...
    Dougal: Ready Ted? Let's do it!

    Ted: Dougal, don't take it so seriously, it's just a bit of fun.


    I]Scene jumps forward to some time later. Room is filled with smoke and there is a cigarette hanging out of a stressed out Ted's mouth[/I


    Ted: Just play the ****ing note!

    Dougal: The first one?

    Ted: No not the ****ing first one! The ****ing first one's already ****ing down! Just play the ****ing note you were ****ing playing earlier! I've been playing the ****ing first one! We have the ****ing first one!

    Dougal: So i'll just...

    Ted: Just play the ****ing note you where ****ing playing there! ****ing what you where just ****ing doing! Play the ****ing note!


    A little known fact from that episode is that Steve Coogan was intended to play the eurovision presenter Fred Rickwood, but couldn't make it so Jon Kenny stepped in.
    ...as much as I love Steve Coogan I don't think anyone could have done as great a job as Jon Kenny in that role:D

    The episode with the stolen whistle was one of my favourites. Such a funny, unreplacable guy.

    Would never have thought it was 10 years though :(

    a really contrary german guy used to work with me, and he left and before he left he gave me a stand up speech on how disgusted he was with every layer of the company, top to bottom, the other guys in my office weren't quite grasping what it was like until i quoted ted and his "and now on to be-grudgers!" and that is quoted every time we mention lars' name since!!

    I personally love the speech he makes when he thinks he is framed for stealing the whistle, and ted makes up a big elaborate story about a deaf and dumb girl wanting to train a horse....how she could only communicate by wriggling her eye-brows, once for yes and twice for no!!!

    I dont know if it was written for him or not, but it was so off the wall that only he could deliver it!

    "Hello, is that the Yin dynasty? Family, sorry, the Yin family."

    "The Chinese. A great bunch of lads!"

    "COME ON DIVORCE REFERENDUM!"

    "I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do. Whereas priests......More drink!"

    Just so many moments!

    Many moons ago, I worked for a big American company in Limerick and we had just been awarded a quality accreditation. Seeing as how getting the bloody thing required a big input from everyone in the place, the management rewarded us with a big dinner dance all for free and the cabaret was none other than Dermot Morgan.
    I thought he was awesome. A complete and utter genius at stand up

    But he following Monday, some of the moaning minnies in the place were giving out about how he was so scandalous and blasphemous and blahdy blahdy blah.
    That made me laugh all the more. :D

    Ah cmon lads, nobody has mentioned the Nazi scene where he is standing at the window doing "hail hitler" arm waving movements.

    At the time it was oh so funny but its only after his death did people (me included) actually appreciate how damn funny he was, a legend and im sure he if he was around today he would be pushing the envelope even further, he was way ahead of the pack in every area.

    Ted, god bless your cotton socks for all them belly laughs

    I love the massive bull**** story he gives to the nuns when he wants to skip mass and be with the author.

    "now Jim, you never told me you were dying"
    "well I had a little cold a while back..."
    "Ted said you were dying!"
    "oh... well I was just talking to Dr. Synitt, he said you might be dying, but he wasn't quite sure"
    "I see, well I better give him a call"
    "I wouldn't go calling him Jim"
    "and why not?"
    "he... he's gone deaf"
    "deaf? really? oh wait there he is DR. SYNITT, DR... he heard that alright, Ted"

    Oh wait, I was thinking of two completely different people!

    Every line in that show makes me laugh, sometimes the ones that aren't particularly funny just get me. If I could only watch one TV show for the rest of my life... it'd be Ted.

    another line I love is when they get out of the new car and find the dent

    "maybe it's from when you hit yer man on the bike"
    "ssssh! don't say that to ANYONE, Dougal, anyway he was alright, I saw him getting up"

    I love that because they didn't pause for the canned laughter, it was hilarious

    You have to give most of the credit for Father Ted to the writers rather than the actors, IMO.

    It was all about the delivery though. Dermot Morgan's portrayal of Ted was outstanding and I doubt it could have been bettered.
