| 6 | * The opening credits, where the helicopter filming the shots of Craggy Island closes in on the main characters - whose waves of greeting turn into frantic attempts to get out of the way as the camera crashes into them. |
| 7 | * The entire SeriousBusiness of the priest subculture. |
| 8 | * The fact that there are so many [[SinisterMinister hilariously corrupt priests]] throughout the series, both those who appear and those who don't. They range from {{Pyromaniac}}s to mass murderers to {{Arms Dealer}}s to [[TheGamblingAddict gamblers in serious debt]]. |
| 9 | * Real-life example - Creator/DermotMorgan and Creator/ArdalOHanlon were primarily comedy performers rather than actors, so they would frequently forget their lines. Creator/FrankKelly, who was a professional actor, would jokingly decry them as "feckin' amateurs". |

| 13 | [[AC:"Good Luck, Father Ted"]] |
| 14 | * In an EstablishingCharacterMoment for [[TheDitz Dougal]], he is convinced that Funland includes a spider baby as part of its freak show, which turns out to be just a spider in a pram. Ted asks [[CannotTellFictionFromReality if Dougal is sure it wasn't just a dream]]. He then produces a cartoon drawing of a man's head with the word "DREAMS" written inside the head and "REALITY" outside it and asks, "Have you been studying this like I told you?" |
| 15 | * Following the above, Dougal tells Ted how he rode an old man like a horse for a whole hour at Funland last year, whipping him like a jockey. Ted's reaction is what sells the joke. |
| 16 | -->'''Ted:''' [[BrainBleach You realize that image will stay with me for the rest of my life?]] |
| 17 | * An EstablishingCharacterMoment for both Mrs. Doyle and Father Jack, in her line, his reaction, and her counter-reaction: |
| 18 | -->'''Mrs. Doyle:''' Now, and what do you say to a cup?\ |
| 19 | '''Jack:''' FECK OFF, CUP!\ |
| 20 | '''Mrs. Doyle:''' (''fondly'') Ah, he loves his cup of tea.\ |
| 21 | '''Jack:''' FECK OFF! ''FECK '''OFF!''''' (''throws the cup at Mrs. Doyle, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint which misses and shatters behind her as she doesn't notice]]'') |
| 22 | * After Ted rubbishes the idea of going to Funland, Dougal decides to switch on the television. Jack wakes up, roars, and throws a bottle at the screen, smashing it. Later, as Ted removes the front of the set in an attempt to repair it before the ''Faith of Our Fathers'' broadcast for which he is to be interviewed, Dougal holds it up in front of his head and pretends to be presenting ''Series/TopOfThePops''. Jack wakes up and sees him, then bellows, "HOW DID THAT GOBSHITE GET ON THE TELEVISION!?"[[note]] Frank Kelly actually appeared on ''Top of the Pops'' in 1984 performing his novelty single "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbA1iSjVSdo Christmas Countdown]]", in which the recipient of the gifts in "The Twelve Days of Christmas" sends the giver a series of SanitySlippage-affected letters begging her to stop.[[/note]] |
| 23 | * The diagram returns near the end of the episode when the ''Faith of Our Fathers'' crew planning to interview Ted arrive at Funland and mistake Dougal for Ted. As the presenter outlines the plan for the interview to Dougal, an animated version of the diagram appears; question marks appear after the words "DREAMS" and "REALITY", then disappear again as they exchange places and a herd of cartoon rabbits bounce up next to the cartoon head, accompanied by jaunty fiddle music. |
| 24 | * Funland is the most miserable-looking funfair ever. Attractions include a Tunnel of Goats, climbing a step ladder, picking toy sharks out of a paddling pool, and looking at a stuffed cat on a turntable. |
| 25 | ** And Freak Pointing. |
| 26 | * The broadcast of the interview itself is another classic. Dougal, identified by a caption as "Father Ted Crilly", tells the camera [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} he's not sure if God really exists and doesn't go much for the whole organised religion thing, and then begins relating the wonders of the spider baby]], all while the real Ted is taken away in an ambulance in the background -- and is half-mummified by plaster casts and bandages next to Dougal and Mrs. Doyle as he watches the programme. Then Jack wakes up and sees Dougal's face on the television. |
| 27 | -->'''Jack:''' [[BrickJoke THAT GOBSHITE AGAIN!? IS HE NEVER OFF THE AIR?!]] (''throws another bottle at the [=TV=] to the other three's horror'') |
| 28 | * During the credits: |
| 29 | -->'''Announcer at Funland:''' "A child has been lodged in the Tunnel of Goats...If we could have a nurse, please, to the Tunnel of Goats, thank you...A goat and a child have now become lodged together, and a nurse has become involved in the incident...Another nurse is required to release the nurse we asked for previously." |
| 30 | |
| 31 | [[AC:"Entertaining Father Stone"]] |
| 32 | * When Father Stone reveals he is planning to stay on Craggy Island for a few weeks, Ted sends him outside with Dougal so that he can tell Father Jack the bad news -- by telling Father Stone that there is a fire in the house. As Dougal and Father Stone wait outside, with Dougal trying and failing to get some sort of conversation out of Father Stone, Ted puts on a helmet and chest pad, and wakes Jack. Cut to outside as Ted [[MegatonPunch flies through the sitting room window]] to Jack's bellow of "FECK OFF!" And Ted tries to pass if off as backdraft. |
| 33 | * Father Stone's mere presence is enough to scare Mrs. Doyle out of her favorite activity, serving tea. |
| 34 | -->''(quietly, still smiling)'' "Oh no, it's Father Stone." ''(leaves without another word)'' |
| 35 | ** What's even funnier is Father Stone leans forward in anticipation when he sees Mrs. Doyle enter the room, apparently interested in a cup of tea. |
| 36 | * Father Stone's presence is enough to make an entire room full of people sit in awkward silence, as seen when he stays for Ted's birthday party. When one priest stands up to leave, he asks if anyone else would like a lift home. Cue every other priest at the party (including Dougal) jumping up and running out of the room. |
| 37 | * As Ted and Dougal sit in the waiting room of the hospital, Dougal expresses amazement that getting struck by lightning is life-threatening, as he got struck by lightning and didn't go to the hospital. Ted replies that it's because he's not like other people, and adds that the worst that happened to him was that balloons kept sticking to him. |
| 38 | * Ted resorts to praying to the Lord to do something to cut Father Stone's stay short. Dougal thinks this is nonsense. |
| 39 | -->'''Dougal:''' Don't be silly, Ted. So what did you do, pray for him to be hit by lightning? |
| 40 | |
| 41 | [[AC:"The Passion of Saint Tibulus"]] |
| 42 | * In the opening scene, the Craggy Island priests are entertaining the Cuban Father Hernandez, and tell him the west side of the island used to be lovely, until it broke off in a storm and drifted away. |
| 43 | * The game of ''{{TabletopGame/Cluedo}}'' is bookended by two funny moments. First, as Dougal picks up his cards, Ted, without missing a beat in his conversation with Father Hernandez, pulls the cards out of Dougal's hand and turns them around so that they are facing Dougal rather than the other players. Then, at the end of the scene, as Ted observes that the game has been going for five hours, Dougal picks up the "murder envelope" and asks Ted if there shouldn't be some cards in it. |
| 44 | * Ted and Dougal are ordered by Bishop Brennan to protest the title film as blasphemous. This goes about as well as you'd expect; the duo reluctantly go down to Craggy Island's only cinema, where the house for the screening of ''The Passion of Saint Tibulus'' is nearly empty, and stage one of the most good-natured protests ever: |
| 45 | -->''(Ted and Dougal begin booing and heckling the film, which hasn't even started, in monotone voices)''\ |
| 46 | '''Michael:''' Who is that!? ''(hurries up to the row where Ted and Dougal are sitting)'' Look, you-- ''(sees who it is; Ted smiles at him)'' Father Ted! Father Dougal! 'Tis yourselves! ''(shakes their hands)''\ |
| 47 | '''Ted:''' Hello Michael! How are you?\ |
| 48 | '''Michael:''' Oh, I'm grand. How's Father Jack? We haven't seen him since we had the last Creator/SharonStone season on!\ |
| 49 | '''Ted:''' He's grand. He's a bit tired so he won't be along today.\ |
| 50 | '''Michael:''' Oh, right. But you're making a fierce racket.\ |
| 51 | '''Ted:''' It's a long story. We have the bishop over, y'know, Len Brennan. ''(rolls eyes)''\ |
| 52 | '''Michael:''' Oh. That gobshite.\ |
| 53 | '''Ted:''' Yes, and he's going mad because of the film.\ |
| 54 | '''Dougal:''' Aye, and he told us to come down here and kick up a bit of a fuss.\ |
| 55 | '''Michael:''' All right, yeah. Ah, but there's only one thing, though. Eh, you're sort of, er, disrupting the show.\ |
| 56 | '''Ted:''' ''(chuckles)'' We're not, are we? Oh, God. Awfully sorry, Michael!\ |
| 57 | '''Michael:''' Oh, no, no, no trouble at all, no. But, eh, if you could keep it down a little. I mean, we have to think of other people.\ |
| 58 | ''(wide shot of the cinema; the only other patrons are a man and his dog)''\ |
| 59 | '''Ted:''' No problem.\ |
| 60 | '''Dougal:''' You can count on us, Michael. ''(Michael smiles and gets up to leave)''\ |
| 61 | '''Ted:''' Michael, Michael -- erm, I don't suppose you'd, erm, you could throw us out. Just so we could tell the bishop.\ |
| 62 | '''Michael:''' Oh, no problem! ''(grabs Ted by the lapels)'' D'you want to go now?\ |
| 63 | '''Ted:''' Ah, no, we might as well stay and see the film first! ''(Michael lets go of Ted)''\ |
| 64 | '''Michael:''' Oh, okay, so I'll throw you out after the film.\ |
| 65 | '''Ted:''' Grand.\ |
| 66 | '''Dougal:''' Grand.\ |
| 67 | '''Ted:''' Oh, and, erm... ''(tugs his clerical collar)'' We're still okay for the, erm, half-price?\ |
| 68 | '''Michael:''' No problem. ''(Ted and Dougal chuckle)'' Enjoy the film! ''(gets up to leave)''\ |
| 69 | '''Ted:''' ''(cups his hand to his mouth)'' BOOO!\ |
| 70 | '''Michael:''' ''(wags his finger at Ted)'' Now you! ''(all three laugh)'' |
| 71 | * The next day, Bishop Brennan returns and orders the priests to step up their protest. Dougal goes to buy some handcuffs (to be used as part of the protest). Naturally the scene is wall-to-wall InnocentInnuendo. |
| 72 | * [[LeFilmArtistique Ted and Dougal were so confused by the film itself]] that, once they return to the cinema and handcuff themselves to the railings outside, they are not sure what to protest against. So as slogans to chant, they come up with the ever-quotable: |
| 73 | -->'''Ted:''' Down with this sort of thing!\ |
| 74 | '''Dougal:''' Careful now! |
| 75 | * The protest is a dismal failure; each time Ted and Dougal try to talk someone out of going in to see the film, [[StreisandEffect they just stoke their interest in it]]. The most hilarious exchange comes from local housewives Mrs. Sheridan and Mrs. Glynn, especially when Mrs. Sheridan doesn't bat an eyelid at Mrs. Glynn comparing Jaye Davidson's genitals in ''Film/TheCryingGame'' to those of Mr. Sheridan: |
| 76 | -->'''Mrs. Glynn:''' ''The Passion of Saint Tibulus'', what's that? Is it a western or a musical or something?\ |
| 77 | '''Mrs. Sheridan:''' We always go on Tuesdays. Gets us out of the house.\ |
| 78 | '''Mrs. Glynn:''' Oh, we saw a great one a few weeks ago. ''The Crying Game''.\ |
| 79 | '''Mrs. Sheridan:''' Oh, it was brilliant!\ |
| 80 | '''Mrs. Glynn:''' Oh, there was this great bit in it, you see, there was this girl, and then you find out it's not a girl, but a MAN!\ |
| 81 | '''Mrs. Sheridan:''' 'Cause he got his lad out.\ |
| 82 | '''Ted:''' ''(shocked)'' What -- what?\ |
| 83 | '''Mrs. Glynn:''' Yes, he got his lad out, only you only see it for a second, but it's enough to get the message.\ |
| 84 | '''Mrs. Sheridan:''' I didn't know what it was at first, it's been so long since I've seen one!\ |
| 85 | '''Mrs. Glynn:''' ''(laughs)'' I thought it looked rather like your Billy's!\ |
| 86 | '''Mrs. Sheridan:''' ''(shakes head)'' Not at all! Billy's is rounder at the top! |
| 87 | |
| 88 | [[AC:"Competition Time"]] |
| 89 | * All three Craggy Island priests decide to enter the competition as Elvis Presley. |
| 90 | * The quiz Henry Sellers is hosting with the unbelievably thick contestants. |
| 91 | -->"The capital of England, is it New York, London, or Munich?" ''(pause)'' "I'll give you a clue: You ''live'' there." |
| 92 | * Father Dunne, who cannot stop laughing. |
| 93 | * Mrs. Doyle wheedling Henry Sellers into having some sherry. |
| 94 | -->''(cheerfully)'' Go ''on'', go on, go on, [[OverlyLongGag go on]], go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, ''(angrily)'' ''[[SuddenlyShouting GO ON!!!]]'' |
| 95 | * Henry Sellers falling off the wagon, trashing the parochial house living room and jumping out of the window. |
| 96 | ** The next day, Father Ted and the local policeman Sergeant Deegan track Henry in the wood with a tranquiliser rifle: |
| 97 | --->'''Deegan:''' God, this reminds me of Vietnam. |
| 98 | --->'''Ted:''' Were you in Vietnam, Sergeant? |
| 99 | --->'''Deegan:''' Ah no no. I mean, you know, the films. |
| 100 | ** They also spot Jack loose in the woods but Ted asks Sergeant Deegan not to shoot as "he'll find the way home". Cue Jack running like a wild animal to Edvard Grieg's "Morning Mood" from the incidental music to ''Theatre/PeerGynt''. |
| 101 | --->'''Deegan:''' Look at him go. |
| 102 | * The priests resolve their dilemma by portraying The King across three stages of his career, ending with Jack in Elvis' trademark white suit holding a burger and smoking a cigarette. |
| 103 | * The episode ends with, having been assured that nothing went wrong last time he had a drink, Henry Sellers taking a gulp of champagne. He goes from mild to raging in seconds: |
| 104 | -->'''Henry:''' Don't worry, Father. Sure, if I can't celebrate tonight, then when can I, the bastards! What the hell is going on here, how dare they do this to me?! How dare they sack me! I'm Henry Sellers! I'm Henry Sellers! ''(jumps out of the window)'' |
| 105 | |
| 106 | [[AC:"Grant Unto Him Eternal Rest"]] |
| 107 | |
| 108 | The first episode to be written and filmed may show Linehan and Mathews still trying to find the right tone for the characters, but it has no shortage of funny moments. |
| 109 | * A perfect example of how timing is everything in comedy: after the opening credits, Dougal is sitting on the parochial house sofa next to an uncomfortable-looking Sister Monica. After a very long, awkward pause, he finally comes up with a priceless conversation starter (note that Sister Monica has already been staying at the parochial house for a while at this point): |
| 110 | -->'''Dougal:''' [[CaptainObvious So, then, you're a nun?]] |
| 111 | * Ted and Dougal discover that Father Jack has drunk a bottle of floor polish, and we learn that Dougal is a bit lacking in self-preservation instincts: |
| 112 | -->'''Ted:''' Oh, ''God'', hold this. ''(hands Dougal a teapot; Dougal holds it with both hands by the body, not the handle)'' Father? This is very bad, d'you not remember what the Windolene did to you? ''(shakes Jack by the shoulder)'' Father Jack? Father Jack, are you there?\ |
| 113 | '''Dougal:''' Ted...\ |
| 114 | '''Ted:''' Imagine the damage floor polish would do you, my dear God!\ |
| 115 | '''Dougal:''' Ted...\ |
| 116 | '''Ted:''' ''(impatiently)'' What is it!?\ |
| 117 | '''Dougal:''' Eh, I'm in tremendous pain, Ted.\ |
| 118 | '''Ted:''' ''Put it down then!'' God, Dougal! |
| 119 | * Sister Monica goads Dougal into giving the seemingly dead Jack the last rites. Dougal counts a famous atheist and a famous Rastafarian among the residents of Catholic Heaven, and his idea of Latin dissolves into reciting the names of Italian footballers: |
| 120 | -->'''Dougal:''' ''(waves his hands in a very rough approximation of the sign of the cross)'' Well, we are gathered here today to join two people to... oh, sorry, that's not it, of course, yeah. ''({{Beat}})'' Well Father, best o' luck. ''(claps Jack on the back; Jack's head slumps forward and Sister Monica glares at Dougal)'' Oh, of course, yeah, there's more. Eh, sorry I didn't get a chance to see you off. I don't know if I should be talking to you down here or up there... I'll look up there. ''(looks skyward)'' So anyway, you're up there now with Our Lord, and [[UsefulNotes/JosefStalin Stalin]], and Music/BobMarley, and the rest of them, and, eh, of course my own parents... eh, actually, I'd like to take this opportunity to say hello to them. Ah, hello Mammy, and Daddy, er, hope they're looking after you up there...\ |
| 121 | '''Sister Monica:''' The ''Latin'', Father!\ |
| 122 | '''Dougal:''' Oh, right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Eh... ''[[CanisLatinicus totus tuus minimus canis]] [[UsefulNotes/EuroFooty Costacurta Baggio Roberto]]''... |
| 123 | * Ted returns after having phoned Dr. Sinnott: |
| 124 | -->'''Ted:''' Right, well, it looks bad, all right. I called Dr. Sinnott, I gave him the symptoms over the phone, and he said he's probably dead, all right. The pulse not being there is, er, bad enough, but the heart stopping is the real danger sign.\ |
| 125 | '''Dougal:''' That happened to my uncle, and he was fine afterwards!\ |
| 126 | '''Ted:''' His heart stopped? For how long?\ |
| 127 | '''Dougal:''' Eh, a week.\ |
| 128 | '''Ted:''' ''(sceptical)'' A week? Really? And he was fine afterwards?\ |
| 129 | '''Dougal:''' Actually no, now I think of it, er, he died. |
| 130 | * At Jack's funeral reception, Sister Monica is talking with a black priest, telling him how highly she thinks of the work being done in Africa. [[MistakenNationality The priest responds "Sure I wouldn't know. I'm from Donegal!" in a thick Donegal accent]]. |
| 131 | * Solicitor Laura Sweeney drops by to discuss Jack's will with the other two priests. Ted and Dougal inevitably do not believe a woman can be a solicitor, leading to a great GilliganCut: |
| 132 | -->'''Dougal:''' If you're a solicitor, then I'm [[Music/CultureClub Boy George]]!\ |
| 133 | ''(cut to the crypt where Jack's coffin is being kept)''\ |
| 134 | '''Dougal:''' ''(singing to himself)'' "Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon..." |
| 135 | * We get to see a flashback of Father Jack's time as a teacher. He sets a bin on fire and tells a class of schoolboys "Ye'll all burn in hell!" According to Ted, Father Jack preferred the traditional methods. |
| 136 | * To cap it all off, it seems Jack is NotQuiteDead. |
| 137 | -->''[Dougal is asleep on the floor beside Jack's coffin, while Ted looks out a window]''\ |
| 138 | '''Ted:''' It's beginning to snow again. The flakes, silver and dark, are falling obliquely against the lamplight.\ |
| 139 | ''[scene fades to stock footage of snow on trees]''\ |
| 140 | '''Ted:''' It's probably snowing all over the island, on the central plain, on the treeless hills, falling softly upon the graveyards, upon the crosses and the headstones, upon all the living and the dead...\ |
| 141 | ''[snow footage fades out to show Jack standing beside his coffin!]''\ |
| 142 | '''Jack''': SHUT THE FECK UP!\ |
| 143 | ''[Ted turns, sees Jack and faints, waking Dougal]''\ |
| 144 | '''Dougal:''' ''[looks down at Ted lying on the floor]'' Ted! What's wrong? ''[turns to Jack]'' Father Jack, did you see what happened? ''[turns back to Ted]'' Ted? ''[turns back to Jack]'' What happened, Father Jack? Wha-- ''[the penny finally drops, and he faints as well]'' Ooooo! |
| 145 | * In the post-credits sequence Dougal walks into Ted's daydream of dancing in Las Vegas surrounded by a group of beautiful women, and drags him away with a disapproving expression on his face. |
| 146 | [[/folder]] |
| 147 | |
| 148 | [[folder:Series 2]] |
| 149 | [[AC:"Hell"]] |
| 150 | * Ted and Dougal's first scene features a series of hilarious {{Cloudcuckoolander}} moments from Dougal: |
| 151 | -->'''Ted:''' ''(tears page off calendar)'' July 19. why does that strike me as important?\ |
| 152 | '''Dougal:''' ''(catching a fish in his Magnetic Fish Pond game)'' Yes! Er... July 19. I wouldn't know, Ted, you big bollocks.\ |
| 153 | '''Ted:''' ''(outraged)'' I'M SORRY!?\ |
| 154 | '''Dougal:''' I said, "I wouldn't know, Ted, you big bollocks."\ |
| 155 | '''Ted:''' ''(marches over to Dougal)'' Have you been reading those [[Film/TheCommitments Roddy Doyle books]] again, Dougal?\ |
| 156 | '''Dougal:''' I have, yeah, Ted, you big gobshite.\ |
| 157 | '''Ted:''' Yes, well that's all very well, but you have to remember, they're just stories! Normal people like us don't use that type of language! Remember, [[ThisIsReality this is the real world!]]\ |
| 158 | '''Dougal:''' Oho, you're right there, Ted.\ |
| 159 | '''Ted:''' Anyway, any idea why July 19 should be so important?\ |
| 160 | '''Dougal:''' Would that be the day the Ice Age ended?\ |
| 161 | '''Ted:''' ''(shakes his head in exasperation)'' No, Dougal. They can't be that precise about the Ice Age.\ |
| 162 | '''Dougal:''' I'll look it up in the diary. ''(picks up diary from nearby shelf and turns through the pages; Ted picks up one of the fishing rods from Magnetic Fish Pond)'' July 19. "On this day: Galway liberated from Indians." Er, "Marathon becomes Snickers..."[[note]] This ''was'' the date the name changed in 1990.[[/note]] ''(triumphantly)'' Aha, Ted, [[TheCuckoolanderWasRight "Ice Age ends!"]] ''(Ted angrily throws the fishing rod into the cardboard "pond")'' |
| 163 | * Later in the scene, we get a great {{Cloudcuckoolander}} moment from Mrs. Doyle: |
| 164 | -->'''Mrs. Doyle:''' And speaking of cake... ''(picks up tin labelled "CAKES" and opens it)'' I have cake!\ |
| 165 | '''Ted:''' I'm fine for cake, Mrs. Doyle.\ |
| 166 | '''Mrs. Doyle:''' Are you sure, Father? ''(smiles)'' There's ''cocaine'' in it!\ |
| 167 | '''Ted:''' ''(blinks in utter disbelief)'' There's WHAT!?\ |
| 168 | '''Mrs. Doyle:''' ''(thinks, then laughs)'' Oh no, not cocaine, what am I on about? No, I meant, erm, what do you call them... ''raisins.'' |
| 169 | * The episode has one of the funniest Father Jack scenes in the whole show. |
| 170 | -->''(having arrived in their tiny caravan, the priests are deciding what to do next)''\ |
| 171 | '''Ted:''' Father Jack, do you have any preferences?\ |
| 172 | '''Jack:''' HOLIDAY!\ |
| 173 | '''Ted:''' Yes, we're on holiday. Would you like to go anywhere?\ |
| 174 | '''Jack:''' WHAT?\ |
| 175 | '''Ted:''' Would you like to go somewhere?\ |
| 176 | '''Jack:''' WHO'RE YOU?\ |
| 177 | '''Ted:''' I was just asking, would you like to go somewhere now that we're here? Would you like to go for a lovely walk?\ |
| 178 | '''Jack:''' I LIKE CAKE!\ |
| 179 | '''Ted:''' Yes, I, er... ''(to Dougal)'' I think I'll just stop talking to Father Jack now.\ |
| 180 | '''Jack:''' [[NoIndoorVoice WHERE AM I? WHAT'S THAT THING THERE? ARE THOSE MY FEET?]] ''(lifts his legs and looks at his feet)''\ |
| 181 | '''Ted:''' ''(to Dougal)'' God, let's just get him to sleep and we'll head off ourselves. ''(aloud)'' Okay Father, into your box! ''(picks up a small cardboard box with a night sky painted on it and puts it upside-down over Jack's head)''\ |
| 182 | '''Jack:''' DRINK! ARSE! GIRLS! ''(as the box goes over his head, he immediately falls asleep and begins snoring loudly)'' |
| 183 | * The most frequently referenced scene in the whole of ''Father Ted'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh5kZ4uIUC0 Perspective for Dummies]]. They left everything behind in the trailer but still have two small plastic cows. |
| 184 | -->'''Ted:''' One last time. ''(picks up two toy cows)'' These are ''small'', but the ones out there are ''far away.'' ''(Dougal looks confused; Ted holds up the toy cows again)'' SMALL... ''(looks out of window)'' FAR AWAY. ''(Dougal still doesn't get it; he shakes his head)'' Ah, forget it! ''(throws the cows down in anger)'' |
| 185 | * Father Noel raving about random things literally ''all night''. |
| 186 | --> '''Noel''': ''(laughing the whole time)'' It's nearly six o'clock in the morning! I think what we should all do now is... ''tell a few ghost stories!''\ |
| 187 | '''Dougal''': Ted?\ |
| 188 | '''Ted''': Yes?\ |
| 189 | '''Dougal''': ''(matter-of-factly)'' I'm going mad. |
| 190 | * After a third AccidentalPervert moment where Ted and Dougal end up in the same toilet cubicle with Mrs. Gleeson, her husband comes running out of his caravan. Ted tries quickly to get the car door open. |
| 191 | --> '''Dougal:''' You're alright, Ted, he's a fair bit away yet. |
| 192 | --> ''(Mr. Gleeson comes closer)'' |
| 193 | --> '''Dougal:''' Might be worth speeding up there a bit though. |
| 194 | ** FridgeBrilliance given Dougal had shown that he has trouble with depth and perspective. |
| 195 | |
| 196 | [[AC:"Think Fast, Father Ted"]] |
| 197 | * With Jack napping beneath the leaking roof, Ted and Dougal move him out of the way and Jack suddenly wakes up and [[NoIndoorVoice screams "I'M A HAPPY CAMPER!!"]] and then instantly goes back to sleep. The leak stops and a new leak forms over where Jack has been moved to in a sudden downpour: the very sight of the sleeping Jack being drenched by the downward gush of rainwater is pure comedic gold. |
| 198 | * Ted's perfectionism in getting a dent out of a car they were sent to raffle off ends up destroying it. He's unusually calm surveying the damage and concluding that they can't use it in the raffle, then cut to an exterior shot that night: |
| 199 | -->'''''[[DelayedReaction OH, JESUS, WE'RE DEAD!!! OH, GOD ALMIGHTY!!!! AAH! AAAH! AAH! AAH! AAH!]]''''' |
| 200 | * Father Billy O'Dwyer, the priest Ted hires to DJ at the fundraising event, has brought only one record with him. |
| 201 | -->'''Ted:''' So let me just thank you all now for coming along, and ask you to stand for our national anthem.\ |
| 202 | ''(Cue "Ghost Town" by Music/TheSpecials)'' |
| 203 | * Jack trashing the prize car (Ted surveys the front while Dougal surveys the back, and both agree the damage isn't too bad, until Ted sees that Dougal's idea of "not too bad" involves the boot being compressed to half its length), especially Ted asking him if he has been drinking (when is Jack ''not'' thoroughly trashed?) and Jack having to look at the mostly-empty liquor bottle in his hand before answering "YES!!" |

| 206 | * We see Jack grinning over a magazine that's literally just titled ''[[CatchPhrase Girls]]''. ("GIRLS!") The girls on the cover are dressed like Victorian schoolmarms. |
| 207 | * Ted tries to teach Father Jack to say "Yes" and "That would be an ecumenical matter" using an easel with the phrases written on placards. Jack actually manages to say "That" and is attempting to say "would" but gives up and screams "DRINK!"; Ted, who has become steadily more angry with Jack's inability to say anything other than [[CatchPhrase "DRINK"]], knocks over the easel in a rage. |
| 208 | * Dougal is in the living room looking through binoculars for the bishops arrival until Ted gingerly brings his attention to the inside of the living room and they are already sitting there, watching him. |
| 209 | * Later on, one of the visiting bishop's puts a fairly complex theological question to Jack. At Ted's prompting, he responds with "That would be an ecumenical matter" and the [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike bishop accepts it as a legitimate answer.]] |
| 210 | |
| 211 | [[AC:"Old Grey Whistle Theft"]] |
| 212 | * We learn that Jack can identify alcohol from the sound of bottles clinking together alone. |
| 213 | -->'''Jack''': DRINK!\ |
| 214 | '''Ted''': No, father. It's just fizzy water.\ |
| 215 | '''Jack''': JACOB'S CREEK CHARDONNAY 1991! |
| 216 | * Jack's ImpossibleTheft of two bottlefuls of wine (not the bottles, ''just the wine'') from roughly five yards away while Ted's looking to one side for a couple seconds. And the childishly innocent act afterward. |
| 217 | * Mr. Benson didn't take the theft of his whistle well. |
| 218 | -->'''Mr. Benson:''' When I woke up, and saw my whistle had been stolen, I went into a state of shock, and lost the use of me legs! Well, one of them, anyhow. ''[Gestures to right leg]'' This one's fine. ''[Gestures to left leg]'' But this one? Completely lost all feelin'. Look!\ |
| 219 | ''[Mr. Benson grabs Sergeant Hodgins's truncheon, and whacks his left leg.]''\ |
| 220 | '''Mr. Benson:''' '''AAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!! SWEET JEBUS!''' |
| 221 | * As it turns out, there's a bit of history to the whistle. |
| 222 | -->'''Mr. Benson:''' I have had that that whistle for forty years! It saved my grandfather's life!\ |
| 223 | '''Ted:''' Did it really?\ |
| 224 | '''Mr. Benson:''' It did! He was being executed by the British. They had 'im up against a wall, and they shot him! [[PocketProtector And the bullets all hit the whistle in his coat pocket, and bounced off 'im!]]\ |
| 225 | '''Ted:''' God almighty! So he survived?\ |
| 226 | '''Mr. Benson:''' No, no, they just reloaded, shot him again. |
| 227 | |
| 228 | [[AC:"A Song for Europe"]] |
| 229 | |
| 230 | When it comes to mining the Series/EurovisionSongContest for humour, "A Song for Europe" outdoes even Radio/TerryWogan's sardonic commentary. |
| 231 | * Ted and Dougal's creative process gets off to a shaky start: |
| 232 | -->'''Ted:''' What'll we write it about?\ |
| 233 | '''Dougal:''' How about... ''(smiles)'' a lovely horse.\ |
| 234 | '''Ted:''' ''(thinks, then nods)'' Okay. We'll call it ''(writing)'' "'My Lovely Horse'... by Father Ted Crilly." ''(sets pad aside)''\ |
| 235 | '''Dougal:''' And, eh, Father Dougal Maguire.\ |
| 236 | '''Ted:''' ''(sighs, picks up pad, and writes)'' "And... Father Dougal Maguire." ''(sets pad aside again)'' Right, here we go. Erm, will we do the lyrics first, or will we do the music?\ |
| 237 | '''Dougal:''' Let's do the lyrics, and then we can, er, fit the tune around it.\ |
| 238 | '''Ted:''' Right, here we go!\ |
| 239 | ''(long pause as Ted and Dougal try unsuccessfully to think of lyrics)''\ |
| 240 | '''Dougal:''' Maybe we should do the music first.\ |
| 241 | '''Ted:''' Right, here we go! ''(strums a single A minor chord on his guitar)''\ |
| 242 | '''Dougal:''' I ''like'' that!\ |
| 243 | '''Ted:''' Was that all right?\ |
| 244 | '''Dougal:''' Yeah, it was a bit sad.\ |
| 245 | '''Ted:''' ''(smiles)'' Good. Good then. I'll write it down. Erm, I think it was, erm, an A minor. ''(picks up pad and writes)''\ |
| 246 | '''Dougal:''' ''(suddenly inspired)'' I think -- I think -- I think I have a lyric!\ |
| 247 | '''Ted:''' Right! Lyrics! Go ahead there Dougal! ''(holds pad and pencil at the ready)''\ |
| 248 | '''Dougal:''' What's it called again?\ |
| 249 | '''Ted:''' "My Lovely Horse".\ |
| 250 | '''Dougal:''' Right. How about this. Erm, "My lovely horse, [[BestialityIsDepraved I want to hold you so tight, I want to rub my fingers through your tail and love you all night.]]"\ |
| 251 | '''Ted:''' ''(shakes his head)'' Dougal, Dougal, stop there. We want to keep out of the whole area of actually being in ''love'' with the horse.\ |
| 252 | '''Dougal:''' Ohh right, right.\ |
| 253 | '''Ted:''' It's more that we want to be ''friends'' with the horse, that we want to jump around with it, and just have a good ''laugh'' with it.\ |
| 254 | '''Dougal:''' Right. What about something like, "Take this lump of sugar, baby, you know you want it!" That'd be somethin' like those rap fellas'd write.\ |
| 255 | '''Ted:''' You can forget about them, Dougal, you can forget about [[Music/IceT Icey Tea]] and [[Music/SnoopDogg Scoopy Scoopy Dog Dog]]. |
| 256 | * Eventually, the songwriting session deteriorates, leading to an epic ClusterFBomb from Ted. |
| 257 | -->''(the priests' bedroom is littered with empty beer cans; a cloud of cigarette smoke hangs in the air)''\ |
| 258 | '''Ted:''' Just play the ''(bleep)''ing note.\ |
| 259 | '''Dougal:''' The first one?\ |
| 260 | '''Ted:''' NO, NOT THE ''(bleep)''ING FIRST ONE! THE ''(bleep)''ING FIRST ONE'S ALREADY ''(bleep)''ING DOWN! JUST PLAY THE ''(bleep)''ING NOTE YOU WERE ''(bleep)''ING PLAYING EARLIER! I'VE BEEN PLAYING THE ''(bleep)''ING FIRST ONE! WE HAVE THE ''(bleep)''ING FIRST ONE! ''(kicks aside some empty beer cans)''\ |
| 261 | '''Dougal:''' ''(rattled)'' So, I-\ |
| 262 | '''Ted:''' JUST PLAY THE ''(bleep)''ING NOTE YOU WERE JUST ''(bleep)''ING PLAYING THERE! THE ''(bleep)''ING NOTE YOU WERE JUST ''(bleep)''ING DOING! PLAY THE ''(bleep)''ING NOTE! ''(throws his guitar down and stomps off)'' |
| 263 | * Finally, the song is ready for its first performance in front of an audience of Jack and Mrs. Doyle. Not only are Ted and Dougal not in tune with each other, but the melody consists of a single repeated note except for the last note of each line -- which requires an awkward pause while Ted moves his fingers for the chord change. |
| 264 | -->''(Dougal switches on a tinny rhythm track on a cheap keyboard)''\ |
| 265 | '''Ted, Dougal:''' ''(singing as Ted plays guitar, in time with neither the rhythm track nor each other)''\ |
| 266 | My lovely horse running through the ''(short pause as Ted changes chord)'' FIELD\ |
| 267 | Where are you going with your fetlocks blowing in the ''(pause for chord change)'' WIND\ |
| 268 | I want to shower you with sugar lumps and ride you over ''(pause for chord change)'' FENCES\ |
| 269 | I want to polish your hooves every single day and bring you to the horse ''(pause for chord change)'' DENTIST\ |
| 270 | My lovely horse you're a pony no ''(pause for chord change)'' MORE\ |
| 271 | Running around with a man on your back, like a train in the night\ |
| 272 | '''Ted:''' ''(interrupts)'' Wait, wait, I can do this bit. ''(sings)'' Like a train in the ''(clumsily strums the A minor chord from earlier)'' NIGHT. ''(sets his guitar down)'' Well... what do you think in general?\ |
| 273 | ''(Mrs. Doyle [[FacePalm buries her face in her hands]], while Jack draws a SawedOffShotgun and shoots Ted's guitar)''\ |
| 274 | '''Ted:''' ...right. |
| 275 | * The next scene opens with Ted saying 'Jack's right' as if a shotgun blast is constructive criticism. |
| 276 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzYzVMcgWhg "We have to lose that sax solo!"]] |
| 277 | * The way Jon Kenny as Fred Rickwood makes his [[TheUnintelligible offstage talk]] ''sound'' like he's actually saying something instead of outright gibbering, but it remains tantalizingly -- and hilariously -- ''just'' outside of intelligibility. |
| 278 | * When they realise the "obscure B-side" by Nin Huguen and the Huguenotes from which they have plagiarised the replacement music for "My Lovely Horse" is actually well known (to the point that it is playing in the lift at the television studio), Ted and Dougal are forced to perform the song with the original "melody" in the "Song for Ireland" contest. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_Jo0K4Q4eM The results are as hilarious as you'd expect,]] with the pauses for the chord changes now over a second long, and Ted and Dougal more out of tune and out of time with each other than ever. |
| 279 | * In the retrospective documentary, the songwriter performs the song and can't help but roll his eyes at the lyrics as he sings. |
| 280 | |
| 281 | [[AC:"The Plague"]] |
| 282 | |
| 283 | * In the pre-credits teaser, Ted and Dougal settle down to watch their favourite sitcom: ''Father Ben'', an exaggerated [[ShowWithinAShow in-universe equivalent]] of ''Father Ted''. Dougal chuckles over what an idiot Father Brendan is as he watches him walk into the room with his shorts on his head, and Ted says he knows someone just like that thicko Father Ben[[note]] who is played by [[CreatorCameo Arthur Mathews]][[/note]], [[SelfDeprecation neither noticing how much those characters are just like the two of them.]] |
| 284 | * Dougal is naming his new rabbit, but Ted has told him it cannot be "Ted" or "Mrs. Doyle". He eventually settles on naming it "Father Jack" -- which inevitably causes the (human) Father Jack to keep responding to the use of his name. |
| 285 | -->'''Dougal:''' I think Father Jack wants a drink.\ |
| 286 | '''Jack:''' ''(excited)'' DRINK! DRINK!\ |
| 287 | '''Ted:''' Maybe we could give him water.\ |
| 288 | '''Jack:''' WATER? FECK!\ |
| 289 | '''Ted:''' ''(shakes head)'' Dougal, this is getting far too confusing.\ |
| 290 | '''Dougal:''' Ah, Ted, I've got used to calling him Father Jack. Could we not call Father Jack something else?\ |
| 291 | '''Ted:''' ''(sarcastically)'' Great, what do we call him? Er... Flipper! Flipper the Priest.\ |
| 292 | '''Jack:''' YES? |
| 293 | * When Bishop Brennan calls the Parochial House. |
| 294 | --> '''Ted:''' ''(answering the phone)'' Hello, Father Ted Crilly speaking.\ |
| 295 | '''Brennan:''' ''(sitting in a jacuzzi while speaking on the phone)'' Crilly, it’s me. Bishop Brennan.\ |
| 296 | '''Ted:''' Oh feck! ''([[OhCrap jumps as he realises what he’s just said]])''\ |
| 297 | '''Brennan:''' ''What?!''\ |
| 298 | '''Ted:''' ''(puts on a bad French accent)'' [[BlatantLies ‘Oo is zis? Zere is no Crilly ‘ere!]] |
| 299 | * Dougal tries to teach his pet rabbit how to play fetch with a stick as if it was a dog. |
| 300 | * Father Jack sees the rabbits that have infested the parochial house. |
| 301 | -->'''Jack:''' ''(to Ted)'' HEY, HEY, HEY YOU!\ |
| 302 | '''Ted:''' Yes, Father?\ |
| 303 | '''Jack:''' ''(gestures to the rabbits and stammers for a moment)'' ... RATS!\ |
| 304 | '''Ted:''' Yes, Father, we can see them as well.\ |
| 305 | '''Jack:''' HAIRY JAPANESE BASTARDS! |
| 306 | * Dougal's choice of hiding place for the rabbits is, of course, the spare bedroom in which Bishop Brennan (who is terrified of rabbits) will be sleeping during his latest visit. Ted desperately tries to keep the bishop out of the room with an inane speech congratulating him on becoming a bishop, and when that doesn't work, he runs to the top of the stairs and ''throws himself down them''. |
| 307 | * Ted's final scheme to keep the bishop out of the room involves claiming to need to use the only working toilet in the house. He rushes into the room, closes the door, and sees that the rabbits have vanished. He then re-emerges, pretending to have just relieved himself, and the bishop pushes him aside and enters the room -- and realises there is no toilet in there. |
| 308 | ** The reason the rabbits aren't in the Bishop's room is because they followed Jack into his room. |
| 309 | ---> '''Dougal:''' Why not leave them here? |
| 310 | ---> '''Ted:''' Because, Dougal, my nerves are shot. And I won't be able to relax until the only rabbit left in the place is the one sitting in your head, working the controls. |
| 311 | ** Offscreen, Dougal finds a rabbit that he thinks looks like Harvey Keitel. Ted is initially doubtful. |
| 312 | ---> '''Ted:''' ''(goes to look)'' How could a rabbit look like -- God Almighty! It's the spitting image of him. |
| 313 | * Oblivious to the fact that Bishop Brennan has already arrived, Mrs. Doyle walks in the living room holding a pink pet bowl full of water and a leaf of lettuce for the rabbit. Ted quickly intercepts her, pretends it's for him and starts drinking from the bowl and chewing on the lettuce. Made even better by how, throughout the conversation with Brennan, he casually keeps on eating and sipping water. |
| 314 | * While Ted tries to stall Bishop Brennan from entering the spare bedroom, Dougal calls up, asking if Len had found the rabbits. Bishop Brennan is outraged, but not about the rabbits. |
| 315 | -->'''Bishop Brenne:''' Did he call me Len, again?! ''[walks to the top of the stairs]'' You address me by my proper title, you little bollocks! |
| 316 | |
| 317 | [[AC:"Rock a Hula Ted"]] |
| 318 | * During the Lovely Girls contest, Jack (with his hair grown extremely long and a bizarre beard) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCcCWbZi8aI is mistaken for Bob Geldof.]] |
| 319 | -->'''Jack:''' FECK OFF!\ |
| 320 | '''Local:''' 'tis himself alright. |
| 321 | * Later: |
| 322 | -->'''Female Admirer''': Did you really knock [[Music/{{INXS}} Michael Hutchence]] unconscious?\ |
| 323 | '''Jack''': I BATTERED HIM! |
| 324 | * When Dougal invites StrawFeminist singer Niamh Connolly into the house, they sit in the front room in awkward silence until Dougal (having remembered to "make girls feel comfortable") asks "How's your bra?" Then later, he applies the "always give them what they want -- it's easier in the long run" line - but it turns out she really likes ''the priests' house.'' |
| 325 | * Ted vents his frustration at the triteness of his earlier advice: "Never be yourself! That's just a thing people say!" |
| 326 | * Ted, while judging the Lovely Girls contest, notes that one of the contestants [[MaleGaze has a lovely bottom]]. His fellow judge tells him to be careful in case he offends some of the girls. Ted's response? "Of course, they all have lovely bottoms!" |
| 327 | |
| 328 | [[AC:"Cigarettes, Alcohol, and Rollerblading"]] |
| 329 | |
| 330 | The episode starts with the CompressedVice of Dougal's rollerblading addiction in the interest of the RuleOfFunny, and just gets better from there: |
| 331 | * Ted decides that Jack should give up drinking for Lent. Jack is not sold on the idea: |
| 332 | -->'''Mrs. Doyle:''' Who wants their afternoon drink? ''(holds out a bottle of whiskey)''\ |
| 333 | '''Jack:''' DRINK? OHHH YES!\ |
| 334 | '''Ted:''' No. ''(grabs the bottle)''\ |
| 335 | '''Jack:''' "NO"!?\ |
| 336 | '''Ted:''' ''(drops the bottle in a plastic basket)'' No Father, it's Lent, remember, you said you'd give it up for a couple of days.\ |
| 337 | '''Jack:''' WHAT?\ |
| 338 | '''Ted:''' D'you not remember? You said you'd offer it up for Our Lord.\ |
| 339 | '''Jack:''' ARNOLD? WHO'S ARNOLD?\ |
| 340 | '''Ted:''' No, ''Our Lord''. I suppose I made your vow for you, but I know that deep down inside you'd like to make a little sacrifice.\ |
| 341 | '''Jack:''' SACRIFICE? ARSE!\ |
| 342 | '''Ted:''' It's a very special time of the year for all of us.\ |
| 343 | '''Jack:''' DRINK! DRINK! ''(rummages in a box next to his chair)''\ |
| 344 | '''Ted:''' Won't find any there, Father, I've put them somewhere very safe.\ |
| 345 | '''Jack:''' WHERE?\ |
| 346 | ''(shot of a cave high in the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliffs_of_Moher Cliffs of Moher]]; Jack's booze collection is inside)''\ |
| 347 | '''Ted:''' Don't sulk, Father.\ |
| 348 | ''(Jack folds his arms, turns to one side, and holds his head up with his eyes closed)'' |
| 349 | * Needless to say, it takes mere minutes of abstention before the three priests begin suffering massive withdrawal symptoms. Ted [[MeatOVision hallucinating Dougal as a giant cigarette]] and Jack hallucinating Ted as a giant pint of Guinness? Funny. Dougal hallucinating Ted as a giant rollerblade? Hysterical. |
| 350 | * Later, Jack sobers up for the first time in twelve years: |
| 351 | -->''(Jack convulses while making gurgling noises)''\ |
| 352 | '''Dougal:''' What's up with him, Ted? ''(Jack suddenly stops gurgling and sits bolt upright)''\ |
| 353 | '''Ted:''' It looks like the last of the alcohol has left his system. I think he might actually be sober. ''(to Jack)'' Is that it, Father? Are you seeing things as they really are at last?\ |
| 354 | '''Jack:''' OH MY GOD! ''(puts a hand to his forehead and grimaces)''\ |
| 355 | '''Ted:''' Yes, that's it all right. I suppose sobriety for Father Jack must be sort of like taking some mad hallucinogenic.\ |
| 356 | '''Jack:''' [[SingleMaltVision WHERE ARE THE OTHER TWO?]]\ |
| 357 | '''Ted:''' ''(confused)'' The other two-- ''(realises, smiles)'' Ah, I see, the old vision's back to normal. No, there's just the two of us, Father.\ |
| 358 | '''Jack:''' AND WHAT DO YOU TWO DO, THEN?\ |
| 359 | '''Ted:''' We're priests.\ |
| 360 | '''Jack:''' WHAT? PRIESTS!? ''(despairing)'' [[GoMadFromTheRevelation DON'T TELL ME I'M STILL ON THAT FECKIN' ISLAND!]] ''(gets up unsteadily and walks toward the window)''\ |
| 361 | '''Ted:''' Well, well yes, yes, Father. How do you feel? It must be great to be sober, every once in a while. Or even every twelve years...\ |
| 362 | '''Jack:''' ''(points)'' CHAIR!\ |
| 363 | '''Ted:''' ''(chuckles)'' Well done, Father!\ |
| 364 | '''Jack:''' ''(gestures)'' CURTAINS!\ |
| 365 | '''Ted:''' Yes, that's right!\ |
| 366 | '''Jack:''' FLOOR! ''(points to it and beams with pride)''\ |
| 367 | '''Ted:''' All coming back to you, is it, Father?\ |
| 368 | '''Jack:''' ''(points at Ted, smiling ear to ear)'' GOBSHITE! ''(Ted's smile vanishes)'' YES! I REMEMBER! I REMEMBER! |
| 369 | * When Ted decides he, Dougal, and Jack need help keeping their Lenten vows, he phones for help from an order of nuns. The "hold music" is a nun who simply sings Music/FranzSchubert's "Ave Maria" repeatedly as an oil painting of Matty Hislop (whom Ted holds up as an exemplar of self-restraint after giving up alcohol) sticking his hand into a toaster hangs over her desk. |
| 370 | * For someone who doesn't like thinking about sex, Mrs. Doyle does seem to think about it a lot. It doesn't help that throughout this scene, Ted is holding a [[FreudWasRight sausage on a fork]] which he occasionally glances back at. |
| 371 | -->'''Mrs. Doyle''': Oh, I don't want it to be any fun at all, Father. I want a good miserable time. Keep me on the straight and narrow. I met a couple there last year, it did them the world of good. They were a bit obsessed with the old s-e-x. God, I'm glad I never think of that type of thing, that whole sexual world. God, when you think of it, it's a dirty, filthy thing, isn't it? Can you imagine, Father? Looking up at your husband and him standing over you with his [[UnusualEuphemism lad]] in his hand, wanting you to ''degrade'' yourself. God Almighty, can you imagine that, Father? Can you picture it, Father? Get a good mental picture. Can you see him there, ready to do the business? |
| 372 | |
| 373 | [[AC:"New Jack City"]] |
| 374 | * Jack's shell-shocked look when Ted informs him his case of hairy hands means he will have to stay "up in Jurassic Park." Followed by an attempt to escape on a riding lawnmower. |
| 375 | * Father Jack's replacement is Father Fintan Stack, whose behaviour is as un-priestlike as possible. This includes drilling holes into the walls of the house for no reason and blaring jungle music at 3am among other things. |
| 376 | * Mrs. Doyle saying "Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on..." every time she offers someone a cup of tea? Funny. Mrs. Doyle holding up several dozen cue cards all reading "GO ON" when offering a cup of tea to Father Fintan Stack while he has cranked his stereo full volume? Hilarious. Father Stack just keeps dancing and shaking his head. It's not much but it is the most civil he is to anyone. |
| 377 | * Ted and Dougal are searching for Jack at St. Clobbert's home for retired priests. Dougal switches on the light in the sitting room - and he and Ted learn the hard way that every single priest there has Jack's NoIndoorVoice catchphrases, as they all begin bellowing, "DRINK! FECK! ARSE! GIRLS!" When one of the nuns on the staff runs over to see what the noise is, Ted and Dougal "[[PaperThinDisguise disguise]]" themselves by finding some empty space on a sofa and joining in the chorus of "DRINK! FECK! ARSE! GIRLS!" - Dougal, naturally, continues shouting even after the lights are switched off again. |
| 378 | * Ted and the other priests calling St Clobbert's "[[Film/JurassicPark Jurassic Park]]" |
| 379 | * Ted and Dougal return to St. Clobbert's with a torch to shine in the faces of the residents so they can identify Jack. Each one screams one of Jack's four signature catchphrases -- with one exception. |
| 380 | -->'''Posh Priest''': [[FishOutOfWater I really shouldn't be here!]] |
| 381 | |
| 382 | [[AC:"Flight into Terror"]] |
| 383 | * Ted is hit on the head with rolled-up paper and looks back to see another priest laughing. When this keeps happening he goes to confront the priest he thinks is doing it, who is blind and was laughing at comedy on his headphones (specifically, ''Series/MrBean'', famous for being entirely visual comedy). As Ted sheepishly returns to his seat, two nuns (one of whom is played by Creator/PaulineMcLynn to make up for Mrs. Doyle's absence from the rest of the episode) throw a ball of paper at him and cackle like a pair of schoolgirls. |
| 384 | * As the passengers discuss who should be given the two parachutes to escape the possibly doomed aircraft, Father Jack sneaks away with both of them. One for himself and one for the drinks trolley. In the credits, we then see both of the parachutes are caught in a tree in the middle of nowhere, [[LaserGuidedKarma with the drinks trolley perched just out of a furious and hysterically-sobbing Jack's reach.]] |
| 385 | * Just before Ted journeys onto the wheel of the plane to attempt to fix the fuel line, Ted and the captain engage in some dramatic dialogue, ending in a badass FacingTheBulletsOneLiner from the priest until Dougal ruins the mood entirely. He often expresses bewilderment or even contempt at being a priest but, like at the end of "Speed 3", it seems he would be happy if that didn't change. |
| 386 | -->'''Pilot''': Father Crilly?\ |
| 387 | '''Ted''': Yes, captain?\ |
| 388 | '''Pilot''': I'm ''not'' a captain.\ |
| 389 | '''Ted''': Well I'm not a fellow who goes climbing around the outside of planes, but I think considering the circumstances, we can be whatever we want right now.\ |
| 390 | ''[{{Beat}}]''\ |
| 391 | '''Dougal''': Can I still be a priest? |
| 392 | * Ted, who is usually terrified of flying, has been calmed down enough by the gravity of the plane's mechanical problems to climb onto the wheel and use the souvenir tape dispenser to repair the fuel line. Once the emergency is over, he suddenly realises where he is and screams "[[DelayedReaction AAAAAAARGH! WHAT AM I DOING ON THE FECKING WHEEL!]]" At the end of the episode, he is back at the parochial house, still clinging to the wheel in abject terror. |
| 393 | |
| 394 | [[AC:[[ChristmasEpisode "A Christmassy Ted"]]]] |
| 395 | * Ted is woken from his ''{{Series/Ballykissangel}}''-inspired dream, by Dougal offering him a peanut. As he settles back down to sleep, he finds himself in a nightmare, running for his life, being chased by giant peanuts. |
| 396 | * The three guessing as to what is behind the next window on the advent calendar: |
| 397 | -->'''Dougal''': God, I can't wait to see what's behind tomorrow's window. I bet it's, it's, a donkey or something.\ |
| 398 | '''Ted''': Really? So, you've changed from your initial prediction of, what was it again? "Ruud Gullit sitting on a shed." God Almighty, Dougal, where do you get these ideas from? I bet it's just a lovely angel. ''(To Jack)'' What do you think's under tomorrow's window, Father?\ |
| 399 | '''Jack''': A PAIR OF FECKIN' WOMEN'S KNICKERS!\ |
| 400 | '''Ted''': [[DeadpanSnarker Well, who knows]].\ |
| 401 | '''Jack''': ''KNICKERS!''\ |
| 402 | '''Ted''': Yes, Father-\ |
| 403 | '''Jack''': '''''WOMEN'S KNICKERS!''''' |
| 404 | * The treatment of the escape from the lingerie department as soldiers escaping from behind enemy lines (including the inevitable "Go on without me, I'll only slow you down!"[=/=]"No! No-one gets left behind!" moment). SeriousBusiness at its absolute finest. |
| 405 | * At the height of the Escape from the Lingerie Section, Dougal has one of his great moments: |
| 406 | -->'''Dougal''': What's goin' on? |
| 407 | -->'''Father Terry''': I think Ted has a plan. |
| 408 | -->'''Dougal''': No, I mean in general. |
| 409 | * Their eventually escape by weaponising a store intercom. This requires a suitably boring voice. |
| 410 | -->'''Ted:''' Who's got the most boring voice? |
| 411 | -->'''Father Billy:''' What? |
| 412 | -->'''Ted:''' Of the lot of us, who's got the most boring voice? |
| 413 | -->'''Father Fitzgerald:''' [-That'd be me Ted. I have an awful dreary monotonous voice, God help me...-] |
| 414 | * When Father Ted leaves the parochial house for a few minutes to contemplate his future, he returns to find Mrs. Doyle has sent Dougal in his place to officiate at a funeral. Ted screams, '''"DOUGAL'S DOING A FUNERAL?! YOU LET ''DOUGAL'' DO A FUNERAL?!"''' [[TheFunInFuneral Cut to the funeral, where the hearse is in the grave ...and on fire.]] As police and paramedics evacuate everyone in attendance. |
| 415 | -->'''Dougal:''' ''(Nonchalantly, to an outraged mourner who is covered in ash)'' [[DissonantSerenity Sorry 'bout it]]. ''(In the background, [[StuffBlowingUp the hearse explodes into flames]].)'' |
| 416 | * When Ted goes for his walk, he fantasizes the rest of the cast mocking him in his head. Except for Dougal, who just looks confused and turns away. |
| 417 | * As he's despondently tossing stones into the ocean, he accidentally beans a gruff-looking old man on a rowboat. |
| 418 | -->'''Ted''': Sorry about that!\ |
| 419 | '''Old man''': FECKIN' EEJIT! WAIT THERE 'TILL I GET YA! ''(starts rowing ashore)''\ |
| 420 | ''(Ted runs for dear life.)'' |
| 421 | * The fact that the ad for the Priest Chatback hotline is essentially done in the style of a gay hotline. |
| 422 | * Mrs. Doyle trying to guess the name of the new priest in one of her finest moments: |
| 423 | -->'''Mrs. Doyle:''' Father Andy Riley! |
| 424 | -->'''Priest:''' No! Ahaha! |
| 425 | -->'''Mrs. Doyle:''' ''(rapid fire)'' Father Desmond Coyle, Father George Byrne, Father David Nicholson, Father Declan Lynch, Father Ken Sweeney, Father Neil Hannon,[[note]] A ShoutOut to the frontman of the Divine Comedy, who wrote the theme tune for ''Father Ted''.[[/note]] Father Keith Cullen, Father Ciaran Donnelly, Father Mick [=McEvoy=], Father Jack White ''(cut to much later)'' Father Henry Bigbigging, Father Hank Tree.

| 426 | -->'''Father Todd:''' YES! |
| 427 | * We learn in this episode that Father Jack can tell how far he is from drink without opening his eyes. |
| 428 | -->''[Father Todd Unctuous opens his hip flask]''\ |
| 429 | '''Jack''': '''[[NoIndoorVoice DRINK!]]'''\ |

| 435 | * The drunken priest in Todd's flashback, who has an [[UnexplainedAccent inexplicable]] [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents American Southern accent]] and calls Dougal a "poor, strange idiot-boy" like it's the 19th century. |

| 438 | [[folder:Series 3]] |
| 439 | [[AC:"Are You Right There, Father Ted?"]] |
| 440 | |
| 441 | Series 3 opens with MistakenForRacist at its funniest. |
| 442 | * At the beginning of the episode, Ted is somehow reinstated to active church work in Dublin and Paris, yet buggers it up again. As before, "The money was just resting in my account!" is not accepted as a defence. |
| 443 | * Far from condemning Ted's apparent racism, some of the Craggy Islanders are congratulating him on it. Others are more concerned with fitting it into their schedule, or in Colm's case, blatantly trolling him over it. |
| 444 | -->'''Colm:''' Hello there, Father!\ |
| 445 | '''Ted:''' Ah, hello Colm! Out and about? ''(chuckles)''\ |
| 446 | '''Colm:''' Aha. Same as yourself.\ |
| 447 | '''Ted:''' Good, good!\ |
| 448 | '''Colm:''' I hear you're a racist now, Father?\ |
| 449 | '''Ted:''' ''(horrified)'' Wha-- what?\ |
| 450 | '''Colm:''' How'd you get interested in ''that'' type of thing?\ |
| 451 | '''Ted:''' Who said I'm a racist?\ |
| 452 | '''Colm:''' Everyone's saying it, Father. Should we all be racist now? What's the official line the Church has taken on this?\ |
| 453 | '''Ted:''' No! No-\ |
| 454 | '''Colm:''' Only the farm takes up most of the day, and at night I just like a cup of tea. I mightn't be able to devote myself full time to the ol' racism.\ |
| 455 | '''Mrs. Carberry:''' Good for you, Father!\ |
| 456 | '''Ted:''' What? Oh, Mrs. Carberry!\ |
| 457 | '''Mrs. Carberry:''' Good for you, Father! Glad someone had the guts to stand up to them at last! Coming over here, taking and our jobs and our women and acting like the own the feckin' place! Well done Father! Good for you! Good for you! I'd like to feckin'... ''(slides on the muddy ground, miming beating someone with her shopping bags)'' Feckin' Greeks!\ |
| 458 | '''Colm:''' It isn't the Greeks, it's the Chinese he's after.\ |
| 459 | '''Ted:''' I'M NOT AFTER THE CHINESE!\ |
| 460 | '''Mrs. Carberry:''' I don't care who he gets as long as I can have a go at the Greeks! They invented gayness!\ |
| 461 | '''Ted:''' Look, we are not having a go at anybody! I am not a racist, alright?! God! ''(storms off)''\ |
| 462 | '''Mrs. Carberry:''' FECKIN' GREEKS!\ |
| 463 | '''Colm''': ''(walks up to her)'' How's Mary?\ |
| 464 | '''Mrs. Carberry''': ''(happily)'' [[HypocriticalHumor She's fine. She got that job after all.]] |
| 465 | * Ted's attempt to make peace with the Chinese community at Vaughan's pub hits a few bumps: |
| 466 | -->'''Ted:''' I'm not a Fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress in black and go around telling people what to do, [[AnalogyBackfire whereas priests...]] more drink! ''(everyone cheers)'' |
| 467 | * Ted sends Sean Yin a year's supply of whiskey. Unfortunately, Jack got into the crate before it could be sent. Cue Jack emerging from the crate ''dressed in an SS uniform'', whereupon he steals a sandwich from Yin's son and staggers out. |
| 468 | * Ted's presentation on diversity in the Craggy Island community [[CringeComedy hits all the wrong notes]]. He lists [[Film/TheKarateKid Mr. Miyagi]] and [[Franchise/FlashGordon Ming The Merciless]] as notable Chinese people, describes the Chinese as "[[MemeticMutation a great bunch of lads]]" and puts a very unsubtle subliminal message at the end by quickly alternating between a slide of his own face and the phrase "Not a racist". |
| 469 | |
| 470 | [[AC:"Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep"]] |
| 471 | * Dougal's description of the sheep-eating beast ends with the hilarious (and completely improvised) "...and instead of a mouth, it's got four arses!" |
| 472 | * Mrs Doyle's distress at the supposed sheep-eating beast has Dougal playing various sound-effects during it, with Ted telling him to stop after each. At the end she trudges off, with squelching sound effects. Ted tells Dougle to knock it off with the sound effects, only for Dougal to say that he isn't playing any -- Mrs. Doyle is actually making those squelching noises. Ted seems both disgusted and confused. |
| 473 | * After Ted invites Fargo to let Chris the sheep recuperate at the parochial house, [[TemptingFate assuring Fargo Chris will have peace and quiet]], [[InstantlyProvenWrong Jack promptly falls down the stairs, shattering the bannister to pieces and shouting "FECK!" repeatedly]]. |
| 474 | -->'''Ted''': ''[after Jack has dusted himself off, left and after a '''very''' long beat]'' I think it would be an insult to you if I finished that sentence. |
| 475 | * Fargo Boyle's VillainousBreakdown at the end stands out, begging Chris ([[SeriousBusiness a sheep]]) not to look at him. This isn't even after the audience have time to recover from the one of the show's only uncensored [[PrecisionFStrike instances of the word "fuck"]], making it all the more funny. |
| 476 | -->'''Graham Linehan, in the audience''': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEvUt2kUg0c Fucking hell!]] |
| 477 | |
| 478 | [[AC:"Speed 3"]] |
| 479 | * ''Pat Mustard''. Everything about him. Especially the sign on his van that says 'Shit Happens'. Especially when his van blows up at the end and the only thing left is the sign. |
| 480 | * A great example of InnocentInnuendo from Mrs. Doyle: |
| 481 | -->'''Mrs. Doyle:''' Pat was wondering if he could put his massive tool in my box!\ |
| 482 | '''Ted:''' ''What!?'' How ''dare'' you-\ |
| 483 | '''Pat:''' ''(produces a truly enormous spanner)'' Just too big for the milk float. |
| 484 | * During the scene with Ted and Dougal spying on Pat, Dougal turns up the volume on the sound amplifier in order to be able hear what Pat and one of the ladies are saying. A truck goes zooming past him two seconds later, and the resulting noise knocks him unconscious. |
| 485 | * When Ted shows Pat Mustard's boss, Mr. Fox, the photos he took of Pat's dalliances with the local housewives, Mr. Fox assumes he is trying to sell him dirty pictures and makes him an offer. After Ted sets him straight and Mr. Fox discusses the difficult situation Pat's sacking puts him in, Mrs. Doyle sneaks over to the table and steals one of the photos. |
| 486 | * The scene of Dougal setting out on his first day as a milkman is played as though he is a child on his way to his first day at school, with Ted fussing over him, wrapping a scarf around his neck, reminding him to drive on the left, and spit-wiping dirt off his face, then weeping as he watches the milk float leave the parochial house while Mr. Fox assures Ted that Dougal will be just fine. |
| 487 | * Dougal is sent on his way the warning, "Better get going, milk gets sour, you know. Unless it's UHT milk, but there's no demand for that because it's shite." |
| 488 | * Father Jack takes a (very short-lived) shine to the brick Mrs. Doyle has put in the middle of the floor. |
| 489 | -->'''Ted:''' ''(getting up after tripping over the brick yet again)'' What's going on?\ |
| 490 | '''Mrs. Doyle:''' Father Hackett's got very fond of that brick. It's a great old pet for him -- he doesn't have to feed it or clean it or take it to the vet. Suits him down to the ground.\ |
| 491 | '''Jack:''' I LOVE MY BRICK!\ |
| 492 | '''Ted:''' ''(beaming)'' Ah, that's nice. Maybe we're seeing another side to Father Jack. A more caring, considerate-- ''(gets hit in the head with the brick)''\ |
| 493 | '''Jack:''' AH, FECK IT! FED UP WITH BRICK! |
| 494 | * The various housewives to whom Dougal delivers milk strip off in anticipation of an encounter with Pat Mustard, and are horrified to discover that their new milkman is one of the village priests. Dougal, of course, does not notice their nudity. At least, not until it finally sinks in at the end of the episode and he sits up in bed shouting "''Those women were in the nip!''" |
| 495 | * The big pile of boxes in the middle of the road. Everything about that scene. The [[RuleOfFunny sheer absurdity]] of having the pile of boxes there to begin with, Ted not just moving the boxes out of the way, but putting them in the very same pyramid configuration on the other side of the road -- and still having enough time to get them out of the way before Dougal hits them, Dougal's expression of utter delight when he realises he isn't going to hit the boxes, Ted getting in his car and ploughing straight through the boxes, all backed by ridiculously tense music. |
| 496 | * Ted's brainstorming session with Barren Island priests Father Beeching and Father Clarke[[note]] played by [[CreatorCameo Arthur Mathews]][[/note]]. Their first plan is to conduct Mass for Dougal alongside the "speeding" milkfloat, and during the brainstorming session the best they can produce is another Mass. They try watching ''Film/ThePoseidonAdventure'' since Creator/GeneHackman's character in the film was a priest, but are disappointed to find he doesn't even say Mass. |
| 497 | * Then Ted trips over the brick ''[[RunningGag again]]'' and draws what looks like a complicated diagram on the chalkboard before a shift in camera angle reveals that [[http://file004.bebo.com/large/2006/02/23/18/19963716a330333458b524719537l.jpg he has simply written "WE PUT THE BRICK ON THE ACCELERATOR"]]. A plan which almost fails when Dougal, before stepping off the milk float, picks up the brick and shouts "Ted, you forgot your brick!" |
| 498 | * As Dougal sprints from the doomed milk float, he pulls of his milkman jacket and joyfully cries "I'm a priest!". Even funnier given that earlier in the episode he'd complained that he doesn't do anything as a priest. |
| 499 | * After [[CardCarryingVillain Pat Mustard]] reveals over the phone to Ted that he's put a speed-activated bomb on the milk van Dougal is driving, he begins to [[EvilLaugh laugh evilly]]. Ted rushes off to find Dougal, while Pat is left laughing on the other end of the line. We cut back to the phone later, and Pat is ''[[OverlyLongGag still]]'' [[OverlyLongGag laughing]]. Jack even picks up the phone at one point, with an expression of utter confusion, only to put it down as Ted did. Pat spends so much time in the phone booth, [[EvilGloating gloating]], that by the time he finishes laughing, Dougal has escaped from the wired van, [[LaserGuidedKarma which is now driving towards the phone booth.]] Cue a massive explosion that can be heard from the ''Arctic,'' to the [[DistantReactionShot confusion]] of a man [[EskimoLand ice-fishing]]. (Pat did say that the explosion would be heard all the way to the North Pole, he just didn't anticipate being caught in the blast.) |
| 500 | * At the end of the episode, Ted is putting out the rubbish in the middle of the night, and then hears a noise and looks up. He is promptly hit on the head by the brick, which had been launched into orbit by the explosion and now returned to Earth. |
| 501 | |
| 502 | [[AC:"The Mainland"]] |
| 503 | * Father Noel Furlong's solo performance of [[Music/QueenBand "Bohemian Rhapsody".]] |
| 504 | * "Let's have a screeching competition! I'll go first! ''AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!''" |
| 505 | * Father Noel's bizarre fantasy scenario of the group trapped in the cave having to eat each other, as in ''Film/{{Alive}}'', culminating in him pretending he is eating Tony, a member of his youth group, while he is still alive. |
| 506 | -->'''Father Noel:''' Look! Here's me eating Tony! Tony's going, "No, get off me, I'm not dead yet!" I'd be going, "But I'm ''hungry'', Tony!" |
| 507 | * Jack gets into a pub after a day of having his specs stolen, wandering into an Alcoholics Anonymous group and deprived of a single drink. An AA member sees him about to have a glass and runs in to toss it away. |
| 508 | -->[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vExieiQw4bM#t=5m55s "Don't do it Father! I won't let you do it, I know hurts but believe me you're going to thank me fo-"]] ''(cue AmbulanceCut)'' |
| 509 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKhpQCH_dZU The optician scene.]] |
| 510 | * As they get lost deeper in the cave, Ted and Dougal are approached by a 'ghost'; they scream. The 'ghost' takes off its sheet and reveals himself as Noel Furlong; they scream louder. Ted's voice even [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl goes a couple of octaves higher]]. |
| 511 | * Mrs. Doyle and Mrs. Dineen both insist on paying the check at the tea house, each one trying to get the other to back down. The next time we see them, they're ''fighting on the floor'' while the proprietor calls the police. |
| 512 | |
| 513 | [[AC:"Escape From Victory"]] |
| 514 | * Mrs. Doyle learning how to watch football (from a [[ParodiesForDummies For Dummies]]-style book). Initially she can't even say, "go on, my son", but by the end of the episode she and her friends are hilariously fluent in football-speak. |
| 515 | -->"You're shit, ah-har!" |
| 516 | * Ted and Dougal talk about Father Jack during practice: |
| 517 | -->'''Dougal:''' Did you tell me once Jack had a trial with Liverpool?\ |
| 518 | '''Ted:''' No... He was ''on'' trial ''in'' Liverpool. |
| 519 | * A brilliant GilliganCut: "We need Father Nick at the very peak of his powers." (Cut to Father Nick lying in a coffin.) "So, I don't suppose he'll be ready for the match?" |
| 520 | * "I can't believe we're in this completely ludicrous... situation." |
| 521 | * The whole "protecting the corner flags" thing. |
| 522 | * During the match Ted jumps up to tell one of the players to turn around, with Dougal puppeting his fake arms for him. |
| 523 | |
| 524 | [[AC:"Kicking Bishop Brennan up the Arse"]] |
| 525 | * Ted's first attempt at kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse. As he's running up to deliver the kick, [[TheDragon Father Jessop]] sees him and Ted shifts gears and ''jumps out the window''. |
| 526 | * The bizarre geography of Craggy Island knows no bounds: |
| 527 | -->'''Mrs. Doyle:''' Your Grace, Father Crilly, I've just heard they've taken the roads in!\ |
| 528 | '''Brennan:''' They've taken the roads in!?\ |
| 529 | '''Ted:''' Yes, when the weather is bad they store them in a warehouse on the east side of the island. |
| 530 | * The exchange between Father Jessop, Bishop Brennan and Father Jack: |
| 531 | -->'''Brennan''': Aha! The Kraken awakes! Did we disturb you Father Hackett?\ |
| 532 | '''Jack''': ARSE BISCUITS!\ |
| 533 | '''Jessop''': What?! How dare you speak to His Grace like that! Apologize immediately! ''(Ted winces)''\ |
| 534 | '''Jack''': ''(most sarcastic voice possible)'' I'm so, so, sorry! ''(makes rabbit noises)'' |
| 535 | * The very crude watercolor painting of a man in a bishop's hat. |
| 536 | * After Ted kicks Bishop Brennan up the arse and sends him on his way to Rome, he gets absolutely stinking drunk, and tells Dougal he wants two hundred copies of the photograph he took of the act. Father Jack walks into the room during this speech; Ted turns to him and screams, "FECK OFF!" -- and for once, it is Jack who flees in terror. |
| 537 | * Bishop Brennan is so shocked by the experience of being kicked up the arse by Ted that it isn't until the next day, during his audience in Rome with the Pope, that he finally processes what has happened and bellows, "HE ''DID'' KICK ME UP THE ARSE!!!" before ''shoving the Pope out of the way'' and jumping on the first flight back to Ireland. |
| 538 | * Bishop Brennan's return to the Craggy Island parochial house just ''[[http://stream1.gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs7/2724092_o.gif screams]]'' IncomingHam. |
| 539 | -->'''Brennan:''' '''''[[SayMyName CRIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!]]''''' |
| 540 | * The ending where Bishop Brennan kicks Ted up the arse ''sending him flying several feet through the air''. |
| 541 | * TheStinger at the end of the episode: |
| 542 | -->'''Jessop:''' ''([[FateWorseThanDeath still locked in Jack's dirty underwear hamper]])'' I'm really... enjoying this. |
| 543 | |
| 544 | [[AC:"Night of the Nearly Dead"]] |
| 545 | * When all the old ladies are crowding around the house to get a glimpse of crooner Eoin [=McLove=] in a ZombieApocalypse parody, they have punched through the front door and grabbed him while Ted, Dougal, and [=McLove's=] manager are trying to break their grip on him. Jack, meanwhile [[PassThePopcorn fetches a chair and a drink and sits back to watch.]] |
| 546 | * In the next scene, Father Jack assumes the role of the grizzled, world-weary veteran of zombie encounters and delivers a dramatic speech, all while speaking at his usual NoIndoorVoice volume. |
| 547 | -->'''Father Jack:''' THEY LIE IN WAIT LIKE WOLVES. THE SMELL OF BLOOD IN THEIR NOSTRILS. WAITING. INTERMINABLY WAITING. AND THEN!...\ |
| 548 | '''Dougal:''' He's right Ted. |
| 549 | * Later on, Ted and Dougal are trying to figure a way to get Eoin out of the house without the women seeing. Jack suddenly leans forward in his chair, trying to say something, but then sits back, having forgotten what he was about to say. A few moments later, he leans forward again, getting Ted and Dougal's attention as they wait with bated breath for what he has to say. |
| 550 | -->'''Father Jack''': [[BaitAndSwitch DRINK! FECK! ARSE! GIRLS!]] |
| 551 | -->'''Ted''': [[SarcasmMode Yes, thank you, Father!]] I think we need more concrete ideas than ''that''! |
| 552 | * Eoin [=McLove=] seems to take DisproportionateRetribution to a whole new level: |
| 553 | --> '''Ted''': Eoin! Don't eat the jam from the jar! |
| 554 | --> '''Eoin''': Leave me alone, I can have you killed. |
| 555 | * TheReveal as to why Eoin [=McLove=] is such a {{Jerkass}}, in comparison with his on-screen persona? |
| 556 | -->'''Eoin''': [[FreudianExcuse I've no willy!]] |
| 557 | |
| 558 | [[AC:"Going to America"]] |
| 559 | * The fact that there's an annual "It's Great Being A Priest Convention". |
| 560 | * Ted constantly letting slip to a suicidal priest that he owes Ted 20 quid. |
| 561 | * Mrs Doyle cutting Father Jack's nails. They fly around the room like shrapnel and even shatter Father Buzz's glass. |
| 562 | * Buzz is trying to gee up Ted after a Mass like a manager and boxer during a fight. |
| 563 | -->'''Buzz:''' I know they're gonna love ya in the States, Ted. You put on a show! But remember, it's a competitive market! You'll be up against Billy Graham and those Nation of Islam guys! You gotta get your own inch, you gotta grab 'em! You know where to grab 'em?\ |
| 564 | '''Ted:''' Yeah, by the balls!\ |
| 565 | '''Buzz:''' I was gonna say by the shoulders... |
| 566 | * Ted manages to unknowingly console a suicidal priest by playing Isaac Hayes's theme from ''{{Film/Shaft}}'' on the radio. Unfortunately, the next time we see the priest, he's on a bus, listening to Music/{{Radiohead}}. |
| 567 | * When Ted tells Dougal that he has been asked to go and work in America, Dougal replies "Really? As what?" |
| 568 | * Ted can't bring himself to tell Dougal, Mrs Doyle and Father Jack that they are not coming to America but cannot bring himself to do so - he imagines them as a puppy dog in a cardigan, a little girl in a dress and a kindly singing grandfather respectively. |
| 569 | * After all the fuss the other parochial house members made about going to America, none seem particularly fussed when Ted changes his mind. Dougal even says he didn't even really want to go. |
