All the characters have their moments. Like Father Jack as Elvis or Father Ted with that Hitler thing.
Tom is also a GREAT character. I love his mono-brow and his I shot JR T-shirt

What's that depressed priest called? The one who gets cheered up by "Shaft".

I've heard they're going to make an American version of Father Ted...to be set on a fictional island off New York, with Mr. Norton (everyone's favourite gay 40 year old!) playing the Dougal like role.

I think we've got different episodes in mind. I'm talking about the one where Ted nearly goes to America. And he cheers up that depressed guy, but then he hears a Radiohead song on the bus and goes all depressed again.
It has to be Father Dougal

No. It is tremendously funny. Google it and find the bittorrents for the eps. Worth the DL.

What about the that couple, Mary and John, in the local shop who absolutely hate each other?
Mary: (to John) "You've a face like a pair o' tits!"
John: "At least that's one pair between us!"
I'm voting for Ted, out of respect to Dermot Morgan, who was a very funny comedian (unlike Ardal O' Hanlon who showed he couldn't cut it on 'Whose line is it anyway?' or 'My Hero').
Though I do like some of his lines:
"C'mere Ted, Ted, Teddy, Ted. God, I love being a priest. We're all going to heaven lads, wheeeyyyyyy!"
"It's like a great big tide of jam. But jam made out of... old women."
"As if magic, I can create a big crowd of invisible ducks."
"Do you believe in God, then Ted?"
Dougal: "God, I've heard about those cults Ted. People dressing up in black and saying Our Lord's going to come back and save us all."
Ted: "No, Dougal, that's us. That's Catholicism."
Dougal: "Oh right."
"Oh Wow! It's like a big rabbit rock festival!"
Dougal: "Last year I had a go with the horse riding and it was just fantastic!"
Ted: "I didn't know you could ride horses"
Dougal: "Well it wasn't a real horse Ted like. It was this old fella with a saddle on him"
Ted: "So... let me get this straight. You were up on an old man, riding him around and whipping him. For an hour."
Dougal: "Yes."
Ted: "You realise that image will stay with me for the rest of my life?"
Father Ted quotes:
"Two hundred pounds? I'm not trying to buy cocaine!"
"So there he is. Risen from the dead. Like that feller.... E.T."
"You'd better get going, because milk gets sour. Unless it's UHT milk, but there's no demand for that. Because it's shite."
"Sheep, like all wool-bearing animals, instinctively travel north, where it's colder, and they won't be so stuffy."
Ted: "What was it [Jack] used to say about the needy? He had a term for them."
Dougal: "A shower of bastards."
"I won't be happy until the last rabbit round here is the one inside your head, working the controls!"
"JUST PLAY THE F***ING NOTE!!!"
Bishop Brennan: "You will address me by my proper title, you little bollocks!"
And who can forget this:
My Lovely Horse
My lovely horse, running
through the field,
Where are you going with
your fetlocks blowing in the
wind?
I want to shower you with
sugarlumps,
And ride you over fences,
Polish your hooves every
single day,
And bring you to the horse
dentist.
My lovely horse,
You're a pony no more,
Running around with a man
on your back,
Like a train in the night (yeah)
Like a train in the night.
Anyone know if Frank Kelly ever appeared in anything else?
Mrs Doyle: "Now come on Father, what would you say to a nice cup of tea?"
Jack: "FECK OFF CUP!!!!!!"

There is this one:
(whilst Ted is trying to eat a sausage) Oh it's a filthy, dirty business, sex. Can you imagine, Father. Your husband standing over you with his lad in his hand, wanting you to degrade yourself. I want you to get a good clear picture.

Well, a co-production between Irish talent and a British channel actually.

The cast as a whole is too hilarious to pick just one.
Some of the most hilarious moments:
1) The Department Store Trip
2) Pat Mustard's Revenge
3) "Jurassic Park"

He appears to have had an uncredited role in the original The Italian Job. I caught a brief snatch of some film a few years ago where he was playing a kind uncle surrounded by victorian children - needless to say, his association with Father Jack Hackett lent this scene a rather perverse undercurrent.
Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do. Whereas priests...

Ah, you should have put the comment in 'ironics' then. I can't seem to find the vB code meta-tag for them right at this instant...
Dougal: Hello there Len.
Bishop Brennan: Don't call me Len, you prick. Refer to me as 'Bishop Brennan'!
Dougal: Ah right you are there Len.
"Do you believe in God, then Ted? "
DOUGAL- Look, this tables so dirty I can write my name in it
TED- There's a 'G' in Dougal
DOUGAL- Where?
DOUGAL- Ahh, lets see, I'll have the Chicken Curry, Pilau Rice and a Can of Fanta thanks.
POLICEMAN- Do you know where you are? Your in a police station.
DOUGAL- Oh right. Well, in that case, I'll just have the Satay Chicken.
DOUGAL- Now, think hard Ted. Where's the last place that you'd think I'd put the rabbits?
TED- Well, now when I think about, I'd have to say, Bishop Brennans room
DOUGAL- Bingo! I put the rabbits in the last place he'd think of them! His own room! he'll never find them there!
Dougal: What's going on?
Priest: We're in Ireland's largest lingerie department
Dougal: No. I mean in general.
Dougal: (trying to pray) Hail Mary who art in heaven.......
Ted: Hallowed.
Dougal: Oh yeah. Hallowed Be....
Ted: Thy Name...
Dougal: Papa Don't Preach........
Ted: Dougal, you know you can praise the lord with sleep.
Dougal: Really Ted? You can praise him in lots of ways, like that time you
said that I could praise him just by leaving the room.
Ted: Yes, that was a good one !
Dougal wins...
im actually very surprised people voted for father jack. he'd be one of my least favourite characters

I think he's pretty good. I'm surprised so many people voted for Dougal, I don't consider him to be that funny.
Father Jack has his moments, like when he drinks Toilet Duck.

They're all funny, but Ted Himself makes it into one funny episode. Otherwise it would just have been a pile of funny people without any plot or story
"Don't watch too much TV Dougal. Chewing gum for the eyes"
"No thanks Ted"

I can't argue with that.

yeah, i agree, ted is definitely what holds it together, hes the funniest in the end, especially since a lot of dougals humour comes from things ted says.
father jack is funny, but hes not really part of the stories, and they're whats funny, ultimately.
