History Recap / FatherTedS3E6KickingBishopBrennanUpTheArse

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Ted only gets caught when Bishop Brennan sees the giant blown-up image of the act which Ted had drunkenly ordered.

* RefugeInAudacity: Ted nearly succeeds in getting away with kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse because it was so outrageous that Bishop Brennan couldn't believe it actually happened.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Ted would have gotten away with kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse, if not for him forgetting to specify that he wanted a ten-by-ten ''inch'' photograph of the event. Which, in fairness, is the sort of thing you wouldn't usually have to point out, but Dougal's getting a ten-by-ten ''foot'' photograph made ends up giving the truth away in spectacular fashion.

* RuleOfThree: When Ted finally attempts to get some sleep before Bishop Brennan's visit. He turns off the bedroom light...only to find the room full of natural light, as he'd rambled all night and it's already morning. He starts to say that they at least have a few more hours before the alarm clock goes off...only to be cut off by said alarm clock ringing. He then starts to say that he set the clock early, to give them plenty of time before the bishop's arrival...only to be cut off by the doorbell ringing.

* SarcasmFailure: Father Jessop does break from his non-stop sarcastic tone occasionally, usually in defence of Bishop Brennan.

-->'''Father Jessup:''' [[SarcasmFailure Crilly just... jumped through the window.]]

Brennan leaves Craggy Island and flies all the way to Rome in incredible disbelief over what happened, until he finally snaps out of it in front of the Pope and immediately heads back, shoving His Holiness out of the way in his haste to do so. Ted wakes up the next morning to see a furious Bishop Brennan storming the parochial house. With his life on the line, Ted somehow manages to convince Brennan that he did not, in fact, kick him up the arse and that it was all in his head. However, Dougal then arrives with the blown-up photo (10x10 feet instead of 10×10 inches) for all to see, and the episode ends with Brennan getting his revenge...by kicking Father Ted up the arse.

That night, Ted and Dougal discuss the entire arse-kicking ordeal and Dougal suggests playing dumb after doing so, as Brennan would never believe that Ted would do it. The next morning, while Jessup confronts Father Jack for stealing the Bishop's sherry and ends up getting locked in his underpants hamper, Ted invites Brennan to look at the skirting board again and successfully kicks him up the arse as Dougal takes the photo. Ted celebrates the achievement with a lot of sparkling wine and drunkenly tells Dougal to make a blown-up copy of the photo.

* DeadpanSnarker: Father Jessop, said to be the most sarcastic priest in Ireland, naturally takes this UpToEleven. Every sentence that comes out of his mouth is a cutting remark, which has unfortunate consequences when Ted tells Mrs. Doyle to assume he means nothing he says, so that when he pleads with her to get him out of the laundry basket into which Jack has stuffed him, she assumes he's just being snarky as usual.

* PreviouslyOn: The episode beigns with a brief recap of "Espace from Victory".

* CassandraTruth: Father Jessop's pleas to be let out of Father Jack's underwear basket are interpreted by Mrs Doyle as yet more sarcasm so she leaves him there.

* SarcasmMode: Father Jessup's only setting.

* NoodleIncident: Father Dick Byrne lost the darts tournament and had to say 'bollocks' very loudly in front of Mary Robinson, who was the President of Ireland at the time.

-->'''Ted:''' Well...yes.

* RefugeInAudacity: Ted nearly succeeds in getting away with his act because it was so outrageous that Bishop Brennan couldn't believe it actually happened.

-> ''What brings me here? Well I suppose the company. Or the fresh air? Or the view from my window of the big pile of sludge? But top of the list would be the matter of you kicking me up the arse!''
