American Reacts to Father Ted (#14)

[@AtheAetheling]

I think I recall reading in the Father Ted script book that the 'I've no willy' line was improvised by Eoin's actor and it was meant to be something else!

[@CholFable]

Thats fantastic, I never knew haha!

[@SergioMach7]

'I've no willy' is the really memorable line in this, but I forgot how funny it was when Pat Mcdonnell as Eoin goes 'I don't want to catch the menopause'. Underrated line.

[@SirCraigius]

20:37: I love that shot of all the old women roaming around the room like mindless zombies, while Father Jack sits there terrified XD

[@Aurora.Cassidy]

"I could have you killed" One of the funniest lines

[@fuzzybobbles]

Every episode of Father Ted is a work of art when it comes to comedy. Brilliant scripts, production, and cast. I'm so sorry Dermot Morgan died soon after filming of series 3was finished. We only got to see series 3 because his family wanted them to finish the editing and show it on TV. My only regret is wondering how awesome series 4 would have been in a series that got better each time.

[@johnmcmanus7602]

Eoin McLove is based on an Irish singer called Daniel O’Donnell who all the old women go mad over. Also Patrick McDonnell (the actor) is from the same town as me, I met him when I was a kid

[@Robert___98]

You'll need the theme song at the beginning of the episode The Plague, very important you don't skip it for that one 😂

[@Temzy17]

Agreed

[@MrGersboy72]

TED!!! ITS FATHER BEN!!!!

[@richardfurness7556]

When you get round to 'The Plague' the intro is absolutely essential. What they did was...no, I've said too much...

[@Qu33n_auth0r]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@Ryandohc.]

Eoin McLove is a parody of Daniel O’Donnell, a famous Irish singer from my home county (Donegal), (this is for yer man in the video)

[@matthewclarke4127]

I love how Father Ted parodies real people- Terry Wogan, Sinead O'Connor

[@corey1054]

4:02 I love that the revelation of Mrs Doyle having a husband is so shocking even father jack takes interest.

[@myborgrs8846]

I've always thought the way Mrs Doyle gulps in air like a fish when she meets Eoin was hilarious!

[@cappaculla]

Mayo Mammy written and performed by Neil Hannon (Divine Comedy) , Who also did the Fr Ted theme (Songs of Love) and the Kraftwerk-esque tune before the raffle on the episode Think Fast, Father Ted.

[@Sara_Kane]

You should definitely keep the intro and the theme song for all your future Father Ted uploads. lol Talking of the theme, it was played by The Divine Comedy, and written by Neil Hannon, who also wrote the music to the "My Lovely Mayo Mammy" song which is featured in this episode.

[@Sara_Kane]

I've never watched that show, though it doesn't surprise me to hear Neil wrote something for it. He is a great talent, and also wrote the music to "My Lovely Horse", which he sometimes plays/sings live because it's so much loved. 😀

[@dannydorko7075]

'on the national express...'

[@junior602002]

@John Brookes I'm pretty sure "Elton John" was played by Neil Hannon.

[@rickb.4168]

[@gerardmcardle5691]

The fella that plays Eoin mclove. ( Patrick McDonnell) grew up in the village of dromiskin were I live in Ireland. He lived beside me, he is actually a great laugh

[@jakubsedlak2173]

Patsy's got that mid-90s charm I really hope could come back one day.

[@goonyougoodthing]

Keep the theme tune. Also check out Daniel o donnel. Eoin is a parody of him.

[@daniellenichols9757]

I JUST discovered this show and I love it, it's friggin HILARIOUS

[@visitorzeta1669]

Thank you, Noah for the answer to the trivia question. It has plagued me all these years and I was too lazy to look it up myself.

[@tarawhittington5686]

Eoin being almost exactly like Dougal thn calling him the "thick looking one" 😂

[@bizzaro1988]

The only other one I can remember was from this lunatic, we had to call the police because it was so demented. 😂😂

[@twig5543]

Great reaction. Father Ted never disappoints. Karol Jósef Wojtyła, pronounced voy-te-wa. J is a 'y' sound and ł is a 'w' sound. You were right about the w as a 'v' sound 🙂

[@Jhiaxus315]

I'm glad you laughed at Dougal waving hello. It always annoyed me that the audience was so busy clapping at the old women breaking down the door that they missed it.

[@ethanholgate2512]

I'm not sure if your firmiler with Irish singer Daniel O'Donnell this episode pays homage to something similar that happened were he was staying in a hotel and a bunch of women surrounded the hotel wanting to meet him true story

[@matthewclarke4127]

Daniel O'Donnell sounds just so much like Eoin McLove.

My mum comes from the same part of Donegal as Daniel O'Donnell, so we have to put up with a bit of his music every Christmas, the man can make *any* song sound sad 😂

[@sharonmichelle3147]

Mrs Doyle's husband was always a bit of a mystery, i think she may of been a widow but i'm not quite sure.

[@matthewclarke4127]

Almost certainly a widow. A separated woman working in a parochial house would have been too scandalous.

[@STHFGDBY]

Americans probably wouldn't understand this, but the guy singing on TV at the start of the FR Ted video Owen Mc Love is a take off of parody of real Irish performer Danielle O Donnell. He kinda sings these Mammy songs and though he does have young fans his fan base is more aged so to speak. He's loved in the UK, even more than in Ireland, and his albums sell really well. He does perform in the States too along with other countries like Australia where he's popular. So this FR Ted episode is having a pop at poor Daniel O Donnell. But he's rich so he doesn't give a flying fk what show makes fun of him.

[@tullyDT]

I saw Patrick McDonnell (Eoin McLove) doing live stand up last. He said his one regret in life is that "I've no willy" is what he'll be known for.

[@bloodwolf9017]

Why so surprised when Mrs Doyle mentions her husband? She's 'Mrs' Doyle after all

[@AJARyan-yn2uv]

Must be because she’s talking to priests.

[@bloodwolf9017]

@@AJARyan-yn2uv Could be

[@JoeVington]

i mean it kinda seems that she's always at parochial house looking after ted dougal and jack doesn't really seem like she has a private life so that's probably why

[@C93-d1x]

I wonder if this is where the idea of McLovin came from... I would love to see you react to the father jack dies episode next 🙏

[@flowerofthesouth]

He was a parody of a real-life famous Irish singer, Daniel O'Donnell who is known to have a close loyal and close relationship with his fans than his music itself

[@DJErrn]

If you want to react to the theme song the song is the divine comedy - songs of love, Neil Hannon (the lead singer) wrote my lovely horse in the Eurovision episode. The biggest hit that the divine comedy ever had in the uk was national express and was released in 1999. There were rumours that one of the musicians from the band went to my school I think that was a myth though. The writer of Firefox taught English at my old school though #fact.

[@ethanholgate2512]

Easily one of the best most funniest episodes

[@batintheattic7293]

I'm not sure why but I love this presentation. The green screen sheet! Why does it soothe me so?

The shot of the old women hanging around the car with the lights on is a perfect parody of a similar shot in NOTLD
