Ever slip a Father Ted reference into real life?

Ninap · 07-05-2012 07:36PM

Doing work on the car: "You'll never get it absolutely perfect Ted"

Gambling "I can handle it Ted"

Generally "There's always time for tea, Fathers"

First time I met my teenage cousin around 1999... awkward silence.... so I asked him "Who do you prefer? Blur, or Oasis?"

Worked as an ice breaker.

All the time.
One of my favourites is when something breaks or doesn't work, yelling "Shoddy workmanship, that's what it is... Shoddy! Shoddy... SHODDY!!!!!"

I've also been known to exclaim "Argh, ya... Feckin' eejaaat! Wait there till I getchaaaaa..." at people who annoy me

If I'm ever back from a match/funeral/wedding and get asked "were there many at it?"

"Now I wouldn't be a great judge of crowds Ted, but I'd say there was about 4 million there"

Or myself and one of my flatmates, if one of us is watching something on tv the other doesn't like:

"What rubbish are you watching Dougal? Chewing gum for the eyes!"

"Ah no thanks Ted, I've got these crisps here"

When I run into or text 2 fella's I went to school with, I will open with "Well Ted" I think its like "Well Head" but it became Ted at some stage, I don't know why. Im pretty sure they refer to me as Ted in the same way.

Thats about as ingrained as a piece of pop culture can get in a society I'd say.

I tend to use the "Are those my feet" line, when I'm very confused.

WoollyRedHat · 07-05-2012 09:26PM

Every Sunday in mass and every other single day on the bus. Doesn't matter that it's a complete stranger, I will always ask when I go to sit down to the person next to me, " Are those my feet". And they usually are.

There probably isn't a day in work that goes by where somebody doesn't mention something from Father Ted. I gave a presentation last February at a geology conference and used this picture in the last slide.

Within my group of friends, any time anyone mentions London:

"I'll give you a clue.................. you live there

yeah same within our group. Also used when ever talking about something obvious that the other person should know straight away

I was at a festival there and I was describing to my brother that there was a simulated weightless ride with a big sign 'Astronauts train on this like in Nasa'.

He was like 'Really? I thought they didn't do that anywhere outside Nasa'. And proceeded to quiz me on it. I then conceded that it was really a big wire ball in a bracket that they just turned you upside down in and kicked you around in...and agreed it was exactly like the funfair in Fr.Ted.....

Yes, well done on spotting the intentional mistake...

del88 · 07-05-2012 10:27PM

I do the "These are small... but the ones out there are far away" on a regular basis.:D

efb · 07-05-2012 10:29PM

Fr Ted is just unbelievably quotable

That's a good quote.

my friend thought he was buying black socks the other day, Had to correct him:

You see, ordinary shops sell what look like black socks, but if you look closely, you'll see that they're very, very, very, very, very, very, very dark blue.
