American Reacts to Father Ted (#10)

[@Tiresias55]

13:04 Father Jack always was the best part of the series. Such an amazing character. "What, Priests?!!! Don't tell me I'm still on that feckin' island!!!"

[@Jhiaxus315]

"Sobriety for Father Jack must be like taking some mad hallucinogenic". That's my favourite line in the series. I'm amazed the audience barely reacted to it.

[@mrcarlroberts2008]

I enjoy your Father Ted reactions so much, I really look forward to them. Its probably my favourite comedy, and I always wondered what it would be like to see an American react to it, to see if they understand the Irish humour. I've seen other reaction videos to it from other Americans, but yours are by far the best. In other videos that I've seen the people didn't really get it, and their reactions were a bit over the top, and literal. You really seem to genuinely get the humour, and its fun to watch. I like your Inbetweeners and The IT Crowd reactions too. It's a good channel, and I can't wait for the rest of the Father Ted reactions.

12.58 The painting of Matty Hislop sticking his hand in a toaster! 😂. All that effort for a background joke! Genius.

[@ciaranconlon84]

John and Mary are a parody (although not too far off the mark) of a rural married couple who have grown to hate each other. They stay married and act so in love in front of the priests because they think it's expected of them and they are afraid to go against the church. Another element to that is the fact that catholic couples wanting to get married in a church here have to pay to attend a course on how to be happily married delivered by a priest who has never been married himself. It's one of the most brilliantly observed aspects of parochial life in rural Ireland in the show.

He is in the aeroplane episode too as another priest!

"Saint Patrick's Hill" is a parody of the real life Croagh Patrick in County Mayo, which is indeed a mountain pilgrims walk up barefoot. Being chased by someone with a stick doesn't happen with the real version though!

I love how you can tell Dermot is trying not to laugh at 15:30

[@daedelous7094]

During the episode "And God created women" when Mrs Doyle is talking about the naughty lines from the books and Ted is trying to shuffle her into the next room, McClynn actually breaks down into mumbles as she is pushed into the next room while Morgan BARELY holds on. When she yells from the other room "Ride my sideways was another one" which I think was adlibbed, Morgan has to puff air just to not break down.

[@KeplersDream]

The Plague; Think Fast Father Ted; Flight Into Terror. Every one a classic.

[@mrcarlroberts2008]

I think you're right about Father Dick Byrne only being in those three episodes. John and Mary are minor characters, but they are in more episodes than others. They represent the type of Catholic married couple who hated each other, but wouldn't devorce, and always acted lovingly around a priest to keep up appearances. The other Bishop Brenhan episodes are 'The Passion of Saint Tibulus' and 'The Plague'.

[@jackcarter5101]

He's in one more, Competition Time

That you for allowing us to experience our first viewings of the greatest sitcom ever made through you, a treasure, a delight, a comedy so fucking wonderful that it makes me happy that I lived despite 99 percent of my life being torture, thx m8

[@cdsbz3314]

Stumbled on your videos a while back, watched all of the Father ted reactions. I've loved watching Father Ted since I was a little boy. Its nice to see someone from across the pond (I'm from the UK) find it just as funny and entertaining as me. Keep up the good work 👍 A good episode to watch would be 'The Mainland', very funny and its got abit more variety to it.

[@kevincollins8484]

Mattie Hislop is based on real life Dublin man Matt Talbot. When Talbot died in Dublin it was discovered that he had chains wrapped around his body. The chains were said to be a symbol of his devotion to Mary, Mother of God.

[@davidtobin2566]

Can we all just let the man react in the order that he sees fit. Theres not that many episodes . We all love them all and we are going to get to see them eventually.

[@robmarrin6720]

Who gives the thumbs down,, ingratiated persons, love these videos and I love the technical abilities of the host,, clever stuff,, not many are doing this around this genre,, and you see the green screen behind,, there's a clue,, very good skills reminds me of my son,, bless you and keep going, you are a treasure to watch ❤️👍

Hey, happy belated birthday sir 🎂 Really enjoy your show 🤣

[@areasquirrel]

When you put the episodes in order, this is the third appearance by Dick Byrne and the fifth by John and Mary. It's also the second by Sister Assumpta. Dougal wasn't wearing his blue jumper the first time, so he doesn't remember, obviously... Sister Assumpta's actress is another who went on to Ireland's main soap opera Fair City. The show is now a good place to spot Irish stars before they made it big either at home or elsewhere.

[@lukeforrester7570]

What I find funny, is after watching all these British programmes and adverts and shows, you'll probably have more in common with many Brits and Irish when they reference or joke about these things or harper back to "The Good Old Days". Which I think you can only do if you were raised on the British Isles. You may well be an honourary Britisher. UK | USA

[@shinny4070]

Cigarettes and alcohol is a song by Oasis, who were huge back then. So, cigarettes, alcohol and rollerblading is an homage to the oasis song as rollerblading was father Dougals’ vice.

[@paxillusinvolutus5213]

You’re back! Huzzah!

[@brianwilson3952]

Love your reviews. Didn't realise ur only 22,because you're reviewing stuff like a 35 year old. And its nice seeing an American totally getting British sitcoms. I know loads do, but not at your age. Please start reviewing The League of Gentlemen. It may take a few episodes to get into. But once you do, you'll be hooked. Don't know when you put this up, but a belated Happy Birthday.

[@alexstorr3357]

Not that's it's even a big deal but it's nice to hear an American say 'arse' and 'series'!

[@alansimpson596]

In one episode Father Jack goes into an alcohol-induced coma and they think he has died. They hold a wake for him and several fellow priests come to pay their respects. One of them looks at Father Jack and says "Oh! look at him. That man should have been Pope but it's not what you know but who you know".

[@hahatoldyouso]

Forgot about this episode, brilliant!

[@MrFalconhead]

That word does mean cigarettes but it does also mean the other which you know, depends on the context of how you use the word.

Take a look at Frank Kelly, 12 days of Christmas countdown,, that's father Jack in this show,, very underplayed Christmas song, ❤️👍

Ever notice the painting of Matty Hislop with his hand in the toaster in the call center the nuns were running? I always noticed the picture but it took me years to notice the name of the plaque.

Dick Burn/Byrne does have another episode where Ted, Dougal and Jack impersonate Elvis Presley. That's all I'll say so I don't spoil the episode

[@frglee]

Interestingly, the actor who played Father Dick Byrne ( Maurice O'Donoghue) was the second choice for playing the part of Father Ted . Perhaps this was a consolation prize? - Though it seems like half the comedy actors in Ireland appeared in this show.

[@jackcarter5101]

I think he was so close to getting the part, that another part was written specially for him

[@jordanrowland6269]

The Mainland, but you need to see an episode of One Foot In The Grave first.

[@rossalexander2255]

I agree, I'd say it's my favourite episode, seeing One Foot In The Grave does help but then again all you need to know is the catchphrase.

[@neilymanadventures6577]

Interesting that what you call an Indian burn we call a Chinese burn and speaking of burns or Byrnes, Father Dick Byrne and crew appear in the fantastic All Priests Stars In Their Eyes Lookalike Competition which is one of my favourites.

[@hywelw]

Just an observation - two errors made by the script writers (one possibly deliberate) in this episode. They don't call them police and police stations in the Republic of Ireland - they're called Guarda (or more popularly the Guards (but never police) and guarda stations. This probably deliberate as the show's original main intended audience was the UK on Channel 4 and some Brits wouldn't get the reference to "the guards" - I was even caught out when I as a Brit lived there when I should have known better. Also, the breakfast cereal Lucky Charms that Dougal seems fond of is a breakfast cereal only available in North America - not in Ireland (or the UK).
