Fun fact there was actually the belief that Ireland purposely wanted to lose the Eurovision Song Contest after winning it 3 straight years between 1992-1994 because of how expensive it is to host and stage and they subsequently won it one more time in 1996
Thats hilarious! I imagine constantly hosting can get tiresome... aha
I'm Irish and that's True. We actually won it More Times than Any other Country 😊
Fun fact : The violinist for the winners in 1995 was Irish
And Riverdance was born!
Some years before there was a scandal in Ireland I can't remember whether it was a bishop or a priest but their excuse for stealing money was that it was only resting in his account before being transferred back to the church. Hard to find anything online about it but I remember as I was a teenager at the time
Ha ha
The music video from the dream sequence is pure comedy gold.
Agreed!
@@MeganRuth I mentioned the original video they parodied in one of my posts...
Before I retired, I was teaching English in a French "grande école". I sometimes showed British and American TV and film for advanced classes. Once I showed an episode of this and students quite liked it, except for one. He complained to the supervisor that it was insulting to his religion. I had to explain what it was to my superior. This was even in a scientific/engineering school.
Giving the 2 fingers is European wide, it originates when English archers who fought the French would have the two bow fingers cut off if captured. When English defeated the French they would give the 'Fingers' as an insult, to say we beat you, we still got our fingers
That's an urban myth, absolutely no truth in it.
As opposed to evidence only consisting of a tapestry? Today known as a comic...!?
Peasants were frowned upon, ergo everything they did was ignored and hardly documented... and all peasants were illiterate. So most things they did were never recorded. However there is documentation proving the English "taunted with gestures from their positions after victory".
Also, the two finger has been used in Europe for centuries, it was a primitive/early version of devil horns. There is much documents about that because it even used by aristocrats and even royalty.
I just used "evidence" to prove you wrong.
It has been used widely in Europe for centuries as the early version of the devil horns insult. Lots of documentation.
Also... "The English threw insulting gestures at their enemy in celebration of their victory".
A peasant at the time was illiterate... and aristocrats rarely documentated anything about them.
Seen this episode a zillion times and never once thought about Equs. Now, I will not fail to see it. 1973 it came out, so long before this equine masterpiece 😬
Believe it or not, there are CZcams videos of groups singing My Lovely Horse. The funniest ones are the ones that do it seriously.
I'd also recommend The Divine Comedy's 2 CD set of the Casanova album... There will be several interesting pieces in it for us true Father Ted fans...
Great show. I love Father Ted
You might like Black Books, Open All Hours, My Hero, a police drama Bergerac, also Midsomer Murders
They would have had more success calling it " My friend the hearse" much more appropriate 😂❤
The culture in Ireland is very similar to the UK, kinda Australia and New Zealand.
6:00 minute mark. To answer that Megan, why do you think Ted ended up on Craggy Island in the first place ? It's all explained in the series sweetie. X
Yes giving someone the fingers either like ted did there or just the middle finger is a type of a swear here in Ireland. Simply meaning up Yours. The guy doing the mad fast talking partner is or was 1 half of a very funny comedy duo called the D'unbelieveables. John Kenny is his name and Pat Shortt was his comedy partner. You should look them up Meghan. Plenty of stuff on CZcams etc of them. Actually Pat Shortt actually starred in many episodes of Father Ted. He was the guy wearing the Who Shot JR tshirt 😂. John Kenny who's in this episode starred in a few episodes of Father Ted also. Love your reactions Megan especially to the ofah ones. ❤
Ireland and the uk are the same, all a great bunch of lads
Look at them there, aren't they great? 😊
And, Megan took Ted Crilly's advice; "We've got to lose that sax solo." So Megan did. 😉
G'day folks. Hang on. As a lapsed Catholic, this is terribly good. Btw, great t-shirt design. I saw a bloke on the tram today wearing a a Star Wars hoodie. Nice enough; until I realised the colour he was earing; green! Surely it had to blue. And then I realised; a hoodies needs another colour; perhaps brown in honour of the Jed... It was my stop. Ding ding.
Megan. Watch George A. Romero's classic "Night Of The Living Dead" before you get to Father Ted's "Night Of The Nearly Dead" episode, then you'll get all the references and nuances. It's fantastic ! PMSL.
Try running The swarbriggs that's what friends are for (eurovision video) and My Lovely Horse side by side...
Id love to see you reacting to the music of an Irish band called The Rubberbandits
you laughing is what youtube is for please do longer vids
British things, father Ted, F F S.
Fun fact ... Father teds ... Irish !!!!
Fun fact ireland has won more euvisions that any other country, one more fun fact is father ted is not british
Father Ted, was filmied mostly in the UK, with a live studio audience in the UK, by a British Production company, though the outdoor scenes were actually filmed in Ireland. The writers were Irish and most of the cast were Irish also. It is listed as a British production.
@S-North wasn't always a British production, it actually got cancelled when it became a channel 4 production and thr whole cast is Irish not "most of them "
@@christophercasey3530 You are right, the cast were Irish, there was only a couple that featured in the odd episode here and there that were not.
I'm not trying to take anything away from it by saying it was a British production, it definitely was the Irish quirky humour that made it so great! There is no doubt of that. It's is one of the absolute greatest tv comedy series of all time! Probably my personal favourite of all time!
The two fingers hand gesture is wrongly associated with English archers taunting French soldiers during the 100 years war.
The reality is it probably is associated with "cuckold horns", you're calling the other person a cuckold when making the gesture.
Would you react to dramas as well? You might like Ballykissangel, an awesome Irish drama, with some comedy
The Divine Comedy performing ‘My Lovely Horse’ live… Yes they wrote and performed the song for this episode of Father Ted 😉
czcams.com/video/xyFJVu74-AA/video.htmlsi=XzbPXU5yWY2xRazK
amazing! 😆
He also wrote "The Miracle Is Mine" the FT Theme song (Songs Of Love)...and a couple of others...
The inspiration for the music video/dream sequence for My lovely horse comes from the 1975 music video for "That's What Friends are For" by The Swarbriggs.
It's pretty bad 😂
