This thread was inspired by a recent topic someone brought up where they would name any gays who deny their homosexualaity and activle denounce it as "Pastor Teds". the thread was nearly hijacked by several people (myself included!) who decided it was a great exuse to give vent to our favorite quotes from "Father Ted", a fantastic tv show from the UK made in the 90s. So here is the Father Ted thread. Favorite quotes? Favorite character? Best Bits?

I liked the bit where Mrs. Doyle comes walking in with a huge-ass pyramid of Ferraro-Rocher candies. And then the scene when Mrs. Doyle leaves for an afternoon and Ted and Dougal nearly burn the house down.

It was actually chinese immigrants he was waving at. The tape made him look like Hitler, just shortly after they had accused him of being a fascist and a rascist. :D

Who's the crazy old priest that says that? I love him. :D

Thats Father Jack Hackett.
[edit] Trivia
Playing the French National Anthem makes Father Jack demand that everyone in the room stand to attention and sing.
For a short period during leap years, he transforms into a Val Doonican-like character dancing through meadows, singing by the fireside, giving sweets to children and playing with Labrador puppies.
He once had a pet brick.
When he was younger he was a teacher. He taught P.E. and a fiercely dogmatic form of Catholicism.
He was the first priest to denounce the Beatles.
He has a phobia of nuns.
It is claimed that he could've been elected Pope, if not for "those feckin' Jesuits."
During the episode 'The Plague', he briefly answered to the name 'Flipper the Priest'.

They don't seem to have mentioned his adverse reaction to rabbits....

'Ted...Who turned out the lights!?'
'Open your eyes, Dougel'
That has to be the best quote ever :)
Best bit ever is when Ted tries to teach Jack to say 'That would be a matter of clerical theological importance' when the Bishops decide to come over...
'Now Jack...For a bit of whiskey-'
'DRINK'
'For a bit of drink...say ''that'''
'Tha...tha...'
'Yes good, carry on...tha...tha..t'
'tha...thaaaaa...DRINK!'

Ahhh, comedy gold. I love Father Ted, especially Dougal and Mrs. Doyle:
Ted: So what you going to call your rabbit then, Dougal?
Dougal: Well Ted, I was thinking of Pete Sampras. Sure, you know that whole link between rabbits and tennis.
——-
Ted: For the last time Dougal... these cows are very small, but those cows are far, far away.
Dougal: ........ no, I’m sorry Ted, I just don’t get it.
——-
Mrs. Doyle: Won’t you have some cake, Father? It’s got cocaine in it.
Ted: Cocaine!?!
Mrs. Doyle: Oh no, hang on, it’s not cocaine, is it. What do I mean now?.....the little things... Raisins!

“That would be an ecumenical matter!”
I believe is the quote.

Nah, thats the other one.
They do it twice, this one was for a christmas special. That one was for a normal episode.
My ones funnier though :P Jack trying to say 'clerical' and 'theological'

Anyhoos, kudos to Graham Linehan for three wonderful shows: Father Ted, Black Books and the The IT Crowd.

The best bit on Farther Ted was the special when all the priests get lost in the lingerie section of the shopping centre.
Or when the really boring priest comes to the house and Ted prays for him to leave, and then he gets hit by lightning. Classic.
Or when they enter for the Eurovision song contest with “I love my horse” and rip of the tune from another song, only to realise later that it plays in the lift’s of the recording studio.

I did? What did I say?
I think my favourite scene would be the one during the Lent episode, when Father Jack sobers up...
"FLOOR! ....

My favorite part was where they went to break father Jack out of the old folks' home. They had to do it in the dark, though, 'cause turning on the lights made all the old geezers wake up and start screaming "ARSE! DRINK!" etc. So with a flashlight they checked each old codger one at a time:
Old man #1: "ARSE!"
Old man #2: "FECK!"
Old man #3: "DRINK!"
Old man #4: "I really shouldn't be here."
I laughed so hard at that I hurt myself.

Ah thanks for remimding me of so many funny moments folks. And now, my favorite episode, which was from series three entitled "Night of the Nearly Dead", in which Mrs Doyle wins a competition to meet her favorite singer Eoin McLove, a blatant rip off of Daniel O'Donnel, only to be greeted by a very child - like and spoilt singer. And of course when the house is surrounded by besotted hormonal old women in a rip off of George Romero. Absolutely fantastic.
