Go To

  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Bishop Brennan mentions that people have been coming from as far away as Poland to see The Passion of St. Tibulus, which in 1995 seems unusual. After Poland joined the EU in 2004, many people came to live in Ireland, though lured by work as opposed to a smutty film.
  • Memetic Mutation: "CAREFUL NOW and "DOWN WITH THIS SORT OF THING" has been photographed at many real life protests. Regardless of the actual tone of demonstration. Plus, it's available as a t-shirt and gets a Shout-Out in GTA V. When he first heard of the signs appearing, Graham Linehan tweeted how "immensely proud" he was that his work has had such a cultural impact.
  • Squick: Father Jack's earwax being used to make candles.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: The mention of The Passion of St. Tibulus becoming the cinema's most successful film since Jurassic Park instantly dates this episode to the mid-90s. Titanic became the highest-grossing film in history in 1998, overtaking Jurassic Park, and has itself since been surpassed by Avatar and then Avengers: Endgame.
