    Not sure if this has been said already but it didn't come out of Ireland.
    It was written by two English lads & produced by Channel 4.

    Channel 4 - correct.
    2 English lads - incorrect
    Graham Linehen and Arthur Matthews are as Irish as they come

    How in the world could 2 English lads have got the Irish humour so spot on?

    Anyway, hope this is a wind up.

    Look what happened with Anchorman for example.

    Anchorman wasn't even funny to begin with.

    I love the way he almost violently throws Ted onto the seat. The hyper.

    An urban myth.Even Matthews and Linehan have gone on record to say this.It was never pitched to RTE.By the way can I say that overall I enjoy Father Ted generally but I never found Mrs Doyle funny.

    Football, football, football, football, football, football, football, football, football… what you men see in it, I don’t know. A load of men kicking a bit of leather ’round a field. You men, the things you think are ‘great fun’. Like going to the films, a load of men sitting around looking at films! And rollercoasters, a load of men in a rollercoaster going up and down on a big metal track! And sailing, a load of men in a big boat floating around in the sea! And shouting, a load of men going around shouting! And so forth…

    More bad news, no no no no no...I was just talking to Fr Ned Fitzmaurice, he tripped on a paving stone and one of his kneecaps fell off.

    There's no way around it...we'll have to put him in goal

    chewing gum for the eyes...
    eh no thanks Ted.


  • Registered Users Posts: 304 ✭✭MadPatrick


    I agree with the OP. Great show, great characters, great quotes, but it needs to be scaled back a little.

    Every year in the Sydney St. Patrick's Day parade there's a Father Ted float. Every year. It even won this year. But the parade this year was awful shit.

    So, down with that sort of thing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,636 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    That it's at least 16 years old, not much got even close to it since AND get into the national psyche...that's a sobering thought.

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

    Few things are so multilaterally experienced in Ireland as an encounter with a Tedalike, a Jackalike, a Dougalalike or an Mrs Doylealike. We love what we know.

    Everyone knows one, or a composite of the characters. :)

    Were the creators running the parade? Because I would just like to say that it's not entirely unusual for the organizers to win sometimes. So lets not be suprised if the same happens here.

    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 ?

    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 ?

    It was good because it was a great show. It had topics in it that only the Irish would really get, and got the humor of the stuffy priesthood.

    It is like the inbetweeners. That show is good for the UK market, but have you seen the US version, what a load of ****. Same as shameless actually.

    I watched the Chris the sheep one the other night and became aware about halfway in that I wasn't laughing, it kind of worried me a bit.

    Thankfully the raffle one was on afterwards and that got me back in the swing of things.

    Any thoughts on Chris the sheep (the beast) being the one possible dud episode?
