    It got old a long time ago. Things dont stay funny and clever if u keep repeating them over and over and over everywhere!.

    Father Ted is the exception to the rule.

    Down with this sort of thread.

    I laughed out loud. :D

    There'll be young people watching Father Ted in 20 years time who enjoy it just as much as their Grandparents did 40 years earlier.

    Because it's the only comedy that has ever come near to defining exactly what Irish humour is all about.

    and Irish society of the last 40 odd years

    Let me first start by saying it was a great show and will always be one of the very best tv series to come out of Ireland.

    Why is it though that it goes on and on and on and people act like it was the only thing ever shown on tv over here ?

    Everywhere you go there are quotes and catchphrases i mean you cant go a day on this site or most Irish sites without someone quoting something from it.

    Ive a pain in me hole with it at this stage theres nothing more annoying then something that becomes so over done and dragged out.

    Why do we cling to things so badly as if nothing else ever happened before or after it ?

    Why do we have to talk to this fascist?

    It's deeply embedded in Irish culture at this point for sure.

    Ted was awesome. For me it showed exactly why Rte are a bunch of usless twats. The old dusty farts in rte were too afraid to air Ted. Considered too controversial. it was way ahead of rtes time (the 1960's) , so it had to be pitched in the uk.

    And thank god. Rte would have ruined it. Made some dumbed down, safe, type dribble abomination trying hard to not offend anyone.

    A show staring the mad cap Jayson Byrne as Ted and Brian Ormand as Dougal . Makes me queasy.a show much like Jason Byrne's recent attempt which nobody would remember a year later never mind 15 years.

    So which one is it then ?

    Ireland is an incredibly insignificant country that very rarely we do anything worth while so we need to hang on to something for dear life and never let anyone forget about it incase nothing better ever happens.....

    Or

    Most Irish people are simple and cant think of anything original to talk about but the same ****e over and over again?

    Entertaining Father Stone

    Father Dougal McGuire: Father Stone's been in there a long time hasn't he? Do you think he's dead?
    Father Ted Crilly: Probably doing tests.
    Father Dougal McGuire: What sort of tests? General knowledge?
