Not Jesus, it's a Hollywood actor I think.

AAgggh it's all blurry on my screen so can't make him out, I really want to know now who it is, I never noticed this before. This will be my task for the day!

looks like captain Birdseye.
My fave episode is the one with Father Damo. The faces Dougal pulls trying to be cool will be funny forever. and Ted to him "Dougal, why are you walking like a crab?" When he got his ear pierced.

Who is that? John Wayne??? Dont see how it is a gag though ...maybe they were on a tight budget and just used the same furniture, accessories etc in all the rooms in craggy island parochial house?

"of course most of these girls are in their 20s by now"

I love getting an opportunity to use/abuse this line.

he has said a lot more than that. when he goes to a scary movie with his girlfriend, she tries to take some of his popcorn and he says "no!, it's mine".

just off the top of my head, i am nearly positive he says more.

EDIT: tedddyyyy

There was also 'just having some lunch' when he was on the park bench.

hoff1 · 22-09-2012 03:12PM

its "just popped out for lunch" ..it really irritates me when ppl cant get the quotes right!

Youtube has just started classifying Fr Ted videos as Red L+

L+: Explicit language : RED | L+

Content rated L+ may contain persistent use of expletives and profanity. It may also include coarse and vulgar dialogue that is sexually explicit.

That's even funnier than the videos.

I'd imagine it was very controversial at the time of its release though.

god, amazing to think some people weren't even alive when Father Ted came out.

Some brilliant moments from a great series!!

"Actually Ted, you've done this to me before. So I've took the liberty to record the conversation. *plays tape*... I stand corrected"

Didn't Jack have trials with Liverpool, Ted?

No, Dougal. He was ON trial IN Liverpool.

Funniest thing I've ever heard!

EdenHazard · 03-11-2012 11:07PM

Very funny but its actually one of the jokes that gets old imo

SuperInfinity · 03-11-2012 11:12PM

I'm not sure if it's one of those jokes that gets old or if it was just not that funny to begin with. It was just a regular joke.

Pretty standard joke but the characters make it. I love the Fr. Tod Omptious one, well acted and a class skit on film noir stuff. Never really like Brendan Grace either but he's brilliant as Fr. Stack.

"Good morning Ted, ya big gob****e"

"Dougal! Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle novels again?"

"I have ted ya big bollocks..."

Timeless.......at least until people stop reading Roddy Doyle novels

I think Roddy Doyle novels reached their peak readership in the late 90's

I don't think Ted is timeless, I think the avid fans here don't realise how dated it looks to people only a bit younger.

I think Father Ted was hugely important for the time it came along. It appeared when a sea change was beginning in Ireland anyway and it only contributed to that. However, I don't think it loses its appeal as time goes by. Like anything, it'll get old if you keep watching it and quoting it all the time, but I've gone for months without seeing and episode and then decide to put one on and it's hilarious all over again. I've watched it with my nephew (who's only 15) and he finds it hilarious. I've showed it to non-Irish people who've never even seen or heard of it, and they've gotten a laugh out of it. It's just a good comedy, and good comedies don't become dated.

There are alot of jokes in Ted that can be universally understood by anybody from anywhere.
It's not all an Irish social commentary.
