- When Father Ted is asked to appear on a television program, he does his best to make sure none of the other priests steal his moment in the spotlight.
Beloved sitcom focused on three priests living on Craggy Island, a remote island off the west coast of Ireland. Father Ted Crilly is sent to the island as punishment for using charitable funds for a holiday in Las Vegas, but his true punishment comes in the form of Father Dougal Maguire and Jack Hackett, one a fresh-faced naive young priest, and the other a foul-mouthed, rage-filled alcoholic. Mrs Doyle is their nosy housekeeper, who makes plentiful pots of tea and never takes `no' for an answer. Despite their isolation, the priests get into their fair share of mildly sinful, entirely madcap adventures.

"What do you say to a cup?"
"Feck off, Cup."
Ah, the old tv shows.
In high school, we had a priest for a teacher and we were talking about our favorite TV Shows in class one day. He went on about how he loved Blackadder and thought it was the best show in the world. He was laughing and quoting his favorite lines from Blackadder. I asked him if he ever saw Father Ted, the smile ran away from his face and he suddenly became very serious, he gulped and said "Yes, yes I have" and then quickly changed the conversation. I always think about that whenever I watch the show.
Why? Any idea why he did that?
@@hmm2928 Probably auditioned but didn't get the part in the series
Whalers eh?? I see you’re a good guy.
@@hmm2928 Because being a Catholic they don't like having the piss taken out of their 'perfect' religion.
George Barnes Eh, not really. Most Catholics I know are fine, however there are people who simply just don’t like things that make fun of their religion. This can be said the same with Islam. People do need to learn to take a joke lol.
"Freak pointing"
Best fair ground ever! 😂
lapamful hah, I thought it said freak painting
-“How could the cliffs be gone Dougal?” -“Erosion.”
I absolutely adore Father Ted. I've watched the series multiple times and have yet to tire of a single episode. Only the Irish can depict bleakness so beautifully and with great humor.
"And what do you say to a cup?"
"Feck off, Cup!!!"
I need to say this somewhere, and this seems like the best place. I was sent to Ireland (Republic thereof, obv) several years ago on a work trip, and my birthday happened to fall in the week I was there. I begged for a couple hours off to go see the Father Ted house for a gift... just for a look, even. Well I got my wish even though it was a couple hours' drive, and my cabbie, John, who'd been contracted by my company to look after our transportation needs for the week, could scarcely believe I - an American girl - even knew wtf I was talking about (but my mother somehow raised me on British and Irish comedies because she's fucking funny, so I did indeed know). He told me he'd mentioned to his wife the night before what he'd be doing that day - taking some weird crying embarrassingly excited random ass American to *the Father Ted house* - and he said that she replied with "it's a shame Dermot Morgan didn't live to see this day!" It's been nearly ten years and I still have the photo of me nearly 50 yards off but distinctly AT the Father Ted house, and genuinely leaking tears of joy, as my profile photo in several places!!
Ireland is such a lovely place full of such lovely people.
Thats a great storie to tell :) i really would like to see it myself too!
@@epstone Oh I'm so glad you liked it! It's been many years now, but that little excursion - and my lovely lovely driver John - still mean the world to me!
@@schradeya Yes those small experiences that we remember for our lifes are so important :)
*fecking hell
I went there too and got my photo taken. It's at the end of the world and the weather was dreadful as it should be really but even though there were some other fans there too! It was a lovely day out even though we got turned away by the people living there. They briefly ran a tearoom there but they must get inundated by the crazed Ted fans. 😂
If anyone has wondered if someone who had never heard of it could watch this show today, I can confirm this is indeed timeless.
I'm Italian. I was 5 years old when this came out. I've started watching it because my boyfriend, who is English, introduced me to it. Now it's one of my favourite tv programs. I love it!!!
Anch'io sono italiano! Adoro questo show! Purtroppo il mio Inglese non è molto buono...
I’m catholic and love Father Ted - I can’t stop watching! The show brightens my day and makes me hysterical laughing. I remember when it was on PBS in the early 2000’s.
In Ireland its a cult classic. Dermot Morgan was years and years ahead of his time with this series. You can watch it again and again and it still is funny ! Similar to Fawlty Towers ( an English sitcom )
This is my first time watching this show and I'm laughing endlessly.
best show ever, right?
It's my third go through it all and I'm still laughing as hard as the first time.
Well that's the Irish for ya
@@debbiesunshinegirl7854 You have this, then you have Mrs. Brown's boys....no comparison.
It is so funny. I watched bits of episodes growing up but seeing it from the beginning is hilarious!
"A child has been, eh... *lodged* in the Tunnel of Goats..."
From the same writer that did the IT crowd. This show is a true gem. Comedy gold!
and black books, a trifecta of English comedy.
And Big Train, i love Big Train
You must be a complete moron then. This isn't remotely funny. Had to turn it off.
And yet you're here to tell us about it, Pranx? Unable to accept the fact that other people can have different taste when it comes to television thán you and call them morons. Not nice.
Not morons , Catholics
I'm Korean and I spent 3 months in Ireland. So lovely and friendly Irish people healed my wounded heart... You guys all are so special. I miss you all so much. I watch this TV series and relieve my nostalgia...
Tom: Father!
Ted: Yes, Tom?
Tom: I've killed a man.
Ted: Did you? I'll have to talk to you about that later. I'm doing an interview for the television.
Richard Moore Jr. Nice line that
Even the musical theme brings happiness to my heart. Love this show. I even purchased all the episodes in the old iTunes and watched them in my also old iPad while riding the train to Manhattan to and from work.
lol, saw it over 10 years ago... funny as hell, even for a German...!
"That Gobshite again, he's never off the air!!!" 😂😂😂
23 years.... Rip Dermot.... You were a legend
This show is now my fondest connection between my current home and beloved Ireland. Been watching it almost everyday since I left in 2015. And Ted.. well.. his colourful facial expressions, fidgety moves and his characteristic voice emission- no one can beat it.
... Not to mention the rest of the merrie men😉
I spent a couple of days in London, and I watched Father Ted. I don’t think I laughed so much in my entire life.
I just discovered Father Ted. OMG I love it, fantastic escapist watching
Father Ted is one of my absolute favorites!!
the best that and mrs brown
Mine too! 👍
Nearly 30 years later I'm watching this for the umpteenth time in the middle of the night in Australia and I'm laughing as much as I did when I first watched it. Timeless brilliance.
Right on, Bro...We raised our kids on Brit humor, Pythons, Open All Hours, Fawlty Towers, Reggie Perrin...Father Ted is up there with them all.... I've watched this so many times and still laugh at the same places...
I love Father Jack on the merry go round!
Best Quarantine show hands down.
Eheeheheh!
Made in 1995! Jesus, where have the years gone?
im happy to say i discovered Father Ted just a few years ago :) im so glad i found it :)
I used live in England and it was super popular comedy at that time!!
I love it still !!
So this was made the year that I was born. Wow.
@@shimeih2287 This was the year I was born again
@@jinnypaeng9727 Same here. I had hair and all!
I overheard that all of the episodes were here on youtube and I'm so happy they are, cos now I get to watch this for the first time! It's really cheering me up on a bad day, so thank you so much for uploading!
Haha love it - I do the same thing.
If no one is gonna give the recommendations to you, you may as well pilfer them from wherever you can!
A year after your first comment, I’m doing the same thing. Glad it helped you cheer up! ❤️
They also hekped me very much a year ago, during a really boring and sad Summer! *A random Italian guy*
*pouring rain*
"Ah Yeh, it's a fine day for the crops"
*Windy as all hell*
"Ah Yeh, it's a fine day for drying"
*storming and thunder*
"Well it's pretty good for lighting the fire"
I thought this was going to be a typical, sterile sitcom, and then when Dougal says "I didn't even shave this morning", my jaw hit the fucking floor
can you please explain the joke
@@carnap355 he's such a dingdong that he put shaving cream on his face for no reason
Not much else looks like shaving cream. I just assumed he shaved days ago without realizing it. But hey you interpret how you want to.
My favorite thing about him is he wears a shirt in bed that says it's a priest thing you wouldn't understand
@@carnap355 It wasn't shaving cream, it was cum. Someone had tricked Dougal into giving him a blowjob. Father Dougal being taken advantage of sexually is a reoccurring joke.
I'm from Costa Rica, I didn't even know about this show 3 days ago before CZcams recommended it to me, but since then I've been watching it nonstop and I'm about to start watching all the episodes in order. I love this show!
The most funniest comedy series of all!!
Ladies and gentlemen, I present you...
FATHER TED
Oh man this cheers me up...such a classic! Tunnel of goats! Lol...I,would have loved to have seen more across the series of the insane “I shot JR character”..This would have gone on for a lot longer I’m sure, such a shame he died. RIP Father Jack also and the priest who played the loud music in the hairy hands episode.
My whole family would watch Father Ted when it came out , we would structure our night around it.. It is said that only Catholics , small children and the Irish love Father Ted
As a middle-aged Canadian Anglican, i can attest to that! ✌❤
My favorite was when the fortune teller said, " this is really weird, there's only supposed to be one in each pack." Around the 19:00-21:00 mark.
2020 and it's still grand
Now this; this is a pot of true Irish gold
Young ones, Father Ted, Fawlty Towers. They certainly cannot make them like that anymore.
Peep Show? The Thick Of It? Family Guy - Series 5 to 8? Sorry, you were saying . . . ?
NeverRubARhubarb family guy?
What a strong start to a series.
Shame it suffered just as strong an end. 😭
About the funniest damn thing I have seen, ever, the Father Ted series. Oh Lord...
And all credit to the stuntman brave enough to take on “The Pool of Terror”
This episode is perfect comedy, imo. Every scene sand sentence is objectively belly laugh funny ridiculousness and I love it!
I also really like the one where the priests are trapped in the lingerie department at a mall. Perfection!
Can't stop coming back...thank you✌💚
I loved the first series of Father Ted because of its quirky and somewhat non sequitur style. Anyway, I must clear all this shaving cream off my face. I didn't even shave this morning.
_Walt Hamer underrated comment.
Totally love this brilliant show. I never get tired of watching it. The intro is lyrical, along with the soundtrack, which is gorgeous....
Thank you!
edo edo The full song is beautiful. I listen to it every now and again.
one of my absolute favorites. so glad to find it in complete episodes!
The first episode is kind of spooky; Ted pulls 3 death cards, does three seasons and dies right after the last episode is made😞. RIP mr. Morgan
You know, I'd never thought of it that way.
Jazz Cat really? was he an illuminati sacrifice?
Lacy McDuffie Hmmmmm a lot of popular people died from those, I never thought of that. He was mocking a priest🤔.
Jazz Cat you do realize it was written that way?It wasn't by coincidence he picked the cards but by design by the writer.Besides Tarot cards do not predict anything but the " reader" getting your money.
If you think that is spooky, hen you wills findFrank Kelly (Father Jack) dying on the exact date, exactly 20 years later.
Father Ted drawing a Grim Reaper was a rather eerie premonition...
Did anyone else notice the parody of the scene from the film "Deliverance" at 16:41 & 17:34 & 18:13 I never noticed this the first time I watched this episode. Pretty funny
Yes! And they're playing "Dueling Banjos" backwards! Lol!
Father Ted is a classic and superbly fimed
Ted's face at 7:49-7:50... it's gems like this that I catch on re-watches....
It always made me wonder.........the house is seemingly quite spacious, yet Ted and dougal share the same bedroom 🤔
Well, they are priests
Dougal would be to scared to sleep in his own room probably. But yes they are also priests 😂
These are two priests living in the middle of nowhere. They basically have only each other. What could they be possibly doing at night in that bedroom?
My guess is it’s a 4 bedroom house. Jack gets a room, Mrs Doyle has a room, a spare bedroom for the bishop or when someone else comes to stay and Ted and Dougal share a room.
@@herpderp7264 Probably what there is.
S P I D E R B A B Y 🕷
20:13
Terry Pratchett made this joke in his book “Mort.” It was funny there and it is funny here.
"The cliffs are closed today."
I was watching THE FIRST SNOW, written by Beatrix Potter (short story animation) and they dedicate it in memory of Dermot Morgan. I googled him, and saw that he was famous for this set-come, and here i am , watching it lol.
Its a refreshing comedy, 1995
It's a great feeling to soak up as much information as you can about art you love.
It was called The First Snow of Winter. A great dedication to a very underrated comedic actor.
I saw it first time in Ireland back in 2004 , besides having 8 years of scool english , didn`t understand a word this time , but also were unable to switch it off , because it was so funny , now I think it`s one of the most best irish cultural things I ever saw
thank you so much for posting these. im in quarantine right now and its really helping lift my family's spirits during this stressful time.
I love this show. Keeping Up Appearances was the first show I ever watched. I watched it on VHS. We also watched Hogans Heroes. Which my mom was much less happy to let us watch. But this show, I laugh so hard I can’t breath some times. Thank you so much for making it available.
One of the funniest shows I've had the pleasure to accidentally discover 🤣🤣
MissRoxyy me too!
dugal with the statue in the window hahahaha
"Siobhan, please report to the refreshment tent to reheat the hamburgers."
I was looking up things about Irish stuff when I happened upon this show. Watched it for the 1st time for a few minutes & I am loving it already!!! The best detail I loved the most is that Father Dougal sleeps with a He-Man blanket. Loved that show & that wee bit makes it all.
7:11 irony that a priest is covering top of the pops?
I love Father Ted
So this is what life is like in Ireland. Seems like a place worth visiting.
I love the announcements.
"Uh..Siobhan, Please return to the tent to..uh..reheat the hamburgers."
Thank you so much for sharing this series... I appreciate this.
I love this show laughing nonstop😄😄😄🤣🤣🤣. Father jack is something else lol.
Knickers! Ladies Knickers!!
crush on dougal..
oh so crushing on him.. lol
you are nit the only one 😂😂
@Bigfoot well the key is the good natured bit. Thats what's appealing. Its just better with dougall because the underlying assumption would be that he's completely genuine because he's too dumb to know how to lie. He has a naive innocence about him, and I can't blame some people for finding that preferable to some of the "usual suspects" you find while dating.
He’s adorable.
Te amo te amo te amo, gracias por subir esta serie 🤩🤩🤩🤩
I love it. Thanks for share it. Greetings from Chile. I ll be in Dublin next july the 9th, and i ll pay tribute to Dermot Morgan visiting the Joker s chair in Merrion Square.
Fadder.....I've killed a man.... Tom is batshit crazy, makes me laugh everytime he makes an appearance
thank you so much for posting it
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Had to come watch one of my favorite Father Ted Episodes!
one of the best episodes ever,and that's saying A LOT!
9:23 LOL, the way he skips to his bed.
This is my favorite Comedy about priests :p
Loooove this show !!! :D
Oh my gosh! Haven't seen this since was a kid! Thank you!!!!!!!!!
My entertainment as a child
gotta love the "Deliverance" reference
Thanks so much for posting!
This shit is funny. I love being able to watch shows from the UK. Until cable TV took over in the U.S. all we ever got to see was Benny Hill and Monty Python or Masterpiece Theater on PBS. I'm happily binging on loads of shows the Networks thought we wouldn't enjoy. Funny is funny no matter where it originates.
PBS had Faulty Towers and a couple of others later in the 80's. I remember my parents watching Masterpiece Theater all the time. Upstairs Downstairs and Monty Python were my first taste of really good acting. I love the way television shows b/t 1970 - 1990's required the audience to play along. It's not real this farce. These are talented people who can act really well and I my room, acting out some shananigans and Its funny. Harmless kicks that stick in my head. Indeed.
My British cousin told me the Irish considered it a documentary.
I love how Dougal not only has MITTENS but they're sewn onto his coat.
Love this series!
thanks for these. great show. more ppl need to enjoy it.
Cards turned out real but Dermot will always be deep in our hearts.
So, as long as I avoid tarot cards I'll live forever? Fucking brilliant
But yeah, rest in peace Fr. Ted
Spectacles, testicles, and that
British humour is the only thing we've got goin' for us....And tea....And bad teeth competitions.
Love English humor as an Yank
@@bilbobaggins4710 This isn't even British, it's Irish xP
I think Al Bundy would have loved this show
I loved this series.
The fact that this hasn’t been pulled down com CZcams for copyright issues is a miracle.
That's because we've actually licensed it from the rights holder. :) Same of all of the content on our channel, so you don't need to worry about any of it coming down.
@@AbsoluteJokes Ma sei italiano?
