Father Liam, the Dancing Priest!

The optical charts provided by FeckArse Industries would be a close second though...

I loved the part where all the priests are trying to find their way out of the ladies lingerie section and the scene plays out like a war movie. That was hysterical and probably part my favourite scene of the whole series!!!

I also liked when Father Ted brought out a poster to explain to Father Dougal the difference between dreams and reality.

I also liked when the bishops were coming and Father Ted was teaching Father Jack to only say "Yes" and "That would be an ecumenical matter."

Lingerie episode

The one where Eoin McLove visits them. (Night of the Nearly Dead?)

Dodgson! We've got Dodgson here!

'HEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! MAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA - !'
'Dougal! What are you doing?'
'Just havin' a laugh.'

reply

It's been a long time since I saw any Father Ted so this won't be exactly right but it's from the episode where Jack sobers up.

Jack: Where are the other two?
Ted: The other two? Oh the old vision must be back to normal. No it's just us two.
Jack: And what do you two do then?
Ted: We're priests.
Jack: What? Priests? DON'T TELL ME I'M STILL ON THAT FECKING ISLAND???!!!!!

Brilliant.

reply

It has to be the Eurosong episode. Ted hangs up the phone from talking to Fr. Dick Byrne and says quietly, 'Dougal, get the guitar.' When Dougal starts to protest - 'I SAID, GET THE GUITAR!!!!'

Then the whole songwriting scene. So funny.

Feck, where do you start. There are LOADS of quotes worthwhile remembering.

Eion McLove : "You leave me alone. I can have you killed!."

Ted: "Tom you know the phrase "to take care of something" well I realize that you meant that in the Al Pacino way. I was thinking more along the lines of Julie Andrews."

Dougal: "AHHHHH...my top had turned into some kind of womans bra!"

Eion McLove : "I have no willy!."

Mary: "You've a face like a pair of tits."
John: "Well at least that's one pair between us!."

Finton Stack: "Lots of young fellas running around in shorts. That's the kind of thing you like lookin at. And I bet you like that too. Only your probably imagining what they look like without shorts. Your sittin there imagining that with a big smile on your face. Ya dirty fecker!."

Finton Stack: "If you ever say that to me again. I'll put your head through the wall."

Finton Stack: "By the way I got the keys of your car and I drove it into a big wall. Don't like it? tough. I had my fun and that's all that matters."

Finton Stack: "WOOOOO... bye girls... pair of wankers!."

Dougal: "Who'd he be like? Hitler or one of them mad fellas."
Ted: "Oh worse than Hitler!. You wouldn't catch Hitler playing jungle music at 3 o'clock in the morning."

Jack: "Hairy Japanese BASTARDS!."

Jack: "I love my pet brick."
Jack: "Ahhh feck it!. Fed up with brick."

Jack: "That would be an ecumenical matter."
Jack: "Yes!."

Mrs Doyle: "You like Peasant. Don't you Father?"
Ted: "Oh I love Peasant!."
Mrs Doyle: "Well the thing you'll be having loves Peasant too."

Eion McLove: "AHHHHH...let me in. I don't want to catch the menopause!."

Ted: "DAMN YOU FATHER DICK BURN!!!."

Bishop Brennan: "If you ever bullsh_t me like that again... I'll rip your arms off."

Bishop Brennan: "And that's where you... and Larry... and Mo come in."

Bishop Brennan: "Of all God's? what other Gods are there Crilly?"
Ted: "False Gods?!."

Tom: "No Father. It's me own money. I just didn't want to fill out the forms."

Just some of the MANY quotes worth remembering.

"Don't call me Len, you little prick. I'm a Bishop!."

Tony shouting at Father Nolan: SHUT UP SHUT UP, WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP!!!

And from the same episode, love the way Mrs. Doyle brandishes her pen like a weapon as she and her friend fight over who gets to pay for the tea:

"I'm WRITING a CHECK!"

'Is that you Mrs Doyle? I thought it was Marilyn Monroe!'

'Ted, Pat was wondering if he could put his massive tool in my box?' 'What? How DARE - ' *Pat grabs his spanner* 'It's too big for the milk float!'
'If anyone tried to steal any of the whistles I had on display ... I'd blow his feckin head of his shoulders!'

'Who came crawling in at TEN PAST THE ELEVEN??!!'
'The second best priest ... the second best ... THE SECOND BEST PRIEST.'

With Father Ted I think it's some of the subtle moments that really make the show what it is. Here are some of the little things that had me laughing out loud:

At the football match when they do a close up of the Italian priest's eyes, and a lock of hair falls down.
In the Sheep episode where Ted and Dougal see Giant Reed on a bike weaing a fur coat trying to hide his face.
The fact that Ted's clock face is the Pope.
The watercolour drawing of Brennan on the skirting.
'Ted, how funny would it be if Bishop Brennan came in right now and said we needed to go down to the cinema and protest?' *Bishop Brennan bangs through the door*
Ted's face halfway through mocking Dick's performance at the Eurovision when he realises their song is miles better.
Father Noel river dancing in the caravan with a perfectly serious face (before it tips over)
When Henry Sellers has a glass of brandy and runs off into the woods, and it's played out like a nature watch.
When Father Stone and Dougal are outside the house and you see Ted being thrown out the window (definitely one of my favourite scenes!)
Father Stone's painting.
At the end of 'Hairy Hands' episode when the mad priests can all be heard shouting 'feck! arse!' and the lights go out, then you hear the jungle music.

4. Ted imagining dancing in a disco when he learns of his inheritance from Father Jack

6. Mrs Doyle: "have some cake, there's cocaine in it!"
7. When Bishop Brennan brings up the "Blackrock Incident" Dougal replying "They were only nuns"
8. The whole episode "Speed 3"
9. Father Jack screaming "Knickers! Women's knickers!"
10. When sobering up for Lent, Father Jack realizing "I'm still on this fecking island!" And identifying things such as the floor, the window, then pointing at Ted and yelling *beep*
11. Dougal's He-Man sheets
12. Dermot Morgan's amazing head of hair
13. Any scene with Father Noel Furlong (especially in Flight of Terror when he pretends to be biting his nails cheerfully)
14. Dougal telling the television interviewer that he doesn't believe in organized religion

reply

I completely forgot about Father Damo

reply

my favourite episode is the one where they are trying to give things up for Lent. i think that's hilarious. and I love the one where Dougal is running around with the other young priest, and he steals the whistle. And the bit where they're all lost in the lingerie department.

reply

But the best moment is when Mrs Doyle comes ind.. sort of shaking her head i rhythm to the music... she then spots Kevin.... and flees the scene... it gets me every time lol
