Eoin McLove is based on an Irish singer from rural Donegal named Daniel O'Donnell. His style is a soft, twee form of 'adult contemporary' and he's known for his interaction with his fanbase - which is mostly old ladies!

[@anvilbrunner.2013]

Philomena Begley for the boys. Literally as I recall.

Reminds me of Barrymore a little. I grew up watching him and my grandfather enjoyed his shows too. Awite! 😉

old woman.

Biddy, singular.

I love the creepy floating woman Mrs Doyle meets at the shop and the ensuing "messaging montage" lol. Just so weird but funny.

[@AnneGoode-c3l]

Please consider watching IT crowd after you finish Father Ted! As the same guy created both shows 😊 you both will love reacting to it!

[@the98themperoroftheholybri33]

King Boomer will definitely like it cos he's mentioned old consoles and tech from the past, which many jokes are based around

The kings reaction to the old lady transmitting the news across the island was historically funny 😂my sides hurt 😂😅

[@tillyt4054]

Can I just say as a UK Brit from Irish heritage I love watching you guys enjoying Father Ted , I saw it first in the 1990's on British TV and I still think it's one of my favourite comedy shows of all time, In the 1990's -2010 we had some amazing comedy in the UK , shows that wouldn't even get made today because " reasons" Please also look at "Harry Enfield" , "The Fast Show" " Little Britain" " Catherine Tate" and " Men behaving badly" You won't be dissapointed ❤

[@eddien5929]

The actor who played Eoin has people shouting "I have no willy" at him in the street to this day

[@A16AdamWalker]

Been waiting for you to get to this one, I know there's not much Father Ted left, but if you want something similar (also a lot of absurdist humour, randomness, insane characters) I'd really recommend Black Books, another Channel 4 comedy, from the early 2000s. The writer of Father Ted was a contributing writer to it and it stars Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and Tamsin Gregg.

[@detonator82]

I second this!

[@paulwalton1222]

I third this.

[@krazyhartin]

I love the way the episode was written. Earlier, Ted smirks saying "huh women" while Dougal says "where?!" and looks around with fear. Another one, Dougal says "its like a tide of jam coming towards us, but jam made of old women" and later we see Dougal tempting to eat jam. They're like little easter eggs that go unnoticed in the episode. Anyways, I love seeing you guys reacting to Father Ted and you guys love it. I laughed more watching you guys laughing hard at it. Makes me appreciate it more.

[@uweinhamburg]

And suddenly Pat Mustard is forgotten 🤣 including his massive tool....

[@michealjones9863]

To this day the poor actor who played Eoin mclove can’t walk down any road in Ireland Scotland England or Wales without someone shouting “iv no Willy “

[@matwetton]

Patsy is played by Maria Doyle Kennedy who found fame after this as Catherine of aragon in "the tudors" she was also in "orphan Black" "outlander" "downton abbey" "the conjouring 2" and prior to this was in the cult classic "the commitments"

[@MrDCWood]

Oh, God…this penultimate episode of Father Ted…The Night of the Nearly Dead is yet another unforgettable highlight of Series 3. The Series finale of Father Ted…all I say is get ready to laugh one last time. Then cry.

[@conorbrierley1]

I've no willy! Eoin is pronounced Owen. Great reaction guys, it's sad to see the Father Ted reactions coming to an end.

[@v11cu96]

This is tied with kicking bishop brenan up the arse for my favorite ephisode. Eoin McLoves character, expressions and delivery are just perfect, and I love the dynamic between him and Dougle.

[@michealgallagher1111]

'Father Ted' repeats seem to have been broadcast on some channel or other in Britain or Ireland almost without a break since they first appeared. My enjoyment has been heightened by your reactions and by the chat between the two of you. Your next assignment - 'The IT Crowd'. Or 'Black Books'. Or 'Green Wing' (60 minute episodes). Or all three!

[@user-nr2cs2rq7h]

"Green Wing. That's nearly ready"

[@leotilson942]

The Green Wing - the only hospital drama I know that completely ignores the boring bits about patients and illnesses. I have rewatched it many times and I applaud your recommendation.

[@lev6739]

green wing is fucking amazing.

[@marsmartin]

Have enjoyed watching you watch these! Now you've got to do the IT Crowd. Same writer*, it's the natural successor to Father Ted and is just as funny and random to be honest. You'll love it! 😂

[@mr.a8315]

Hilarious. 😂👍 After you finish Father Ted, I'd recommend considering beginning your Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan) journey with the UK series *Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge* (1994). It's amongst the absolute best of UK comedy, can guarantee laughs like Peep Show, Inbetweeners and Ireland's Father Ted. 6:00 The singer is a parody of a very popular (in certain circles) Irish singer called Daniel O'Donnell, who has a super squeaky clean-cut image. From Wikipedia : His Image- O'Donnell is arguably better known for his gentle, soft-spoken personality and clean-cut image, than for his music. Over the years he has attracted vast media attention and there have been many cultural references to the performer. O'Donnell is frequently satirised in Irish and British comedy because of a common supposition that his audience consists mainly of older women.[30] He was parodied as celebrity singer "Eoin McLove" in the Father Ted episode "Night of the Nearly Dead", as well as an episode of BBC sketch-show Chewin' the Fat, as an Irish singer named "Donald O'Daniel". The comedy show Bull Island and the radio sketch segment "Gift Grub" portrayed him in sketches frequently singing about his "mammy".[31] DJ Chris Moyles has parodied O'Donnell on numerous occasions.[32] O'Donnell is known for his close relationship with his fans and has a meet-and-greet session after almost every concert. He used to host a massive tea party for his fans outside his Donegal home every year.[1] He has expressed a wish to appear in Coronation Street. 24:10 An old sea-dog accent.

[@wurble]

As a long time Alan Partridge fan, I don't think KMKYWAP is a good place to start. Chronologically it makes sense of course, but the two series of I'm Alan Partridge are far superior, imo. Knowledge of the spoof chat show isn't really necessary to enjoy the sitcom.

[@Renzsu]

That opening shot with the tv absolutely kills me every time 😂

[@HughShower]

This Eoin McLove character, at least the nice version, is based on an Irish singer named Daniel O’Donnell who specialised in music for adoring older ladies. He travelled around the UK, selling out venues stuffed full of grannies who worshiped him. He even sold out cruise ships as well, a real blue rinse boat. This episode is very much a piss take on him.

[@eclectica1]

I might have to make rewatching your reactions to Father Ted an annual tradition once you've finished the final episode.

[@lauravision2791]

I've loved following your Father Ted reactions! I'd recommend the IT Crowd too, actually written by the same person!

[@stephenmurphy2212]

9:03 and 9:20 You sound like Jim Carrey imitating Mrs Doyle! 😂

[@Jimburgess1977]

Eoin Mclove was actually based on Irish singer Daniel O’donnell.

[@natashacrockett5559]

The Thin Blue Line is another good watch.😂

[@Invenery]

Mate, your reaction "omg I'm gonna shit my pants" is probably the funniest I've seen in a while! I love that you 'get' the Fr Ted Irish humour! Keep laughing and enjoying yourself pal! ... Greetings from Ireland

[@bestirishfirefighter]

At the start Eoin is singing ‘My Lovely Mayo Mammy’. Mayo is a county on the western coast of Ireland. Where I’m from 😊😊

[@evelynvanzale4757]

Up Killala!!

[@enchantress7311]

Along with other shows by the same writer (The IT Crowd, Black Books), I also strongly recommend you try Keeping Up Appearances and Only Fools & Horses. Keeping Up Appearances is quite a calming, gentle kind of show, with more subtle comedy, but once you get to know the characters, it's such a good show. :-) And Only Fools & Horses - that's pretty much the King of British comedy - it's both hilarious and emotional at times (more so emotional in the later seasons), and there's so many episodes, you'll have a lot to enjoy. :-)

[@led0073]

The IT crowd, is from the same writers and takes the craziness to higher levels.

[@Grumbo91]

Last episode always makes me sad knowing Dermot Morgan died only a day after they finished filming.

[@carlhartwell7978]

19:34 He actually said _'...you pile of dirty old biddy's'._ _Old Biddy_ is a derogatory term for an elderly person in the UK (and I'm guessing also in Ireland!). I mean, _piggy's_ would've been just as bad! But it's not a derogatory term to specifically describe elderly people.

[@theotherside8258]

It originates in Ireland, a term for an old maid servant - someone that does your bidding and reinforced with the common Irish name Bridget.

[@carlhartwell7978]

@@theotherside8258 Ahh, eek!

[@sl_721]

‘Biddy’ derives from the Irish name ‘Brigid’ or ‘Bridget’

[@TheVerticalDave]

I have so enjoyed watching you guys experience Father Ted for the first time. This episode is my personal favourite and watching your reaction rather than just rewatching it myself adds a new dimension. Whilst this is my favourite episode, my favourite priest is Father Liam Finnegan the Dancing Priest from the season 2 episode Think Fast, Father Ted. Can't wait to see your reaction to the final episode, and I'm sure it will leave a small void where more Father Ted should be

[@lukebarber9511]

Note: it's "Eoin" (pronounced like "Owen"), not "Ian"

[@ryiin]

You had me from. "IM GOING TO SHIT MY PANTS!"

[@Whippy99]

This is one of my favourite episodes. Our family quote it all the time! So great to see you enjoy it so much, too. 😂

[@Spotlightgopz]

When Boomer paused and said “yo, he’s an asshole” I dunno why that set me off laughing so hard 😂😂😂

[@jamesohara4295]

Make the last one a memorial for Fr Ted By dressing up as Father Jack Boomer :) "Going to America" is the series finale of the Channel 4 sitcom Father Ted. It is the eighth episode of the third series, and the 25th episode overall. Dermot Morgan, who played the show's title character, died the day after filming was completed".

[@QueeferSutherland1]

I love KB's scepticism about the lighthouse.

[@JoeThornhill]

I take it you've never even heard of "Night of the living dead" from 1968. Edgar Wright was inspired by that film and referenced it in "Shaun of the dead" when Nick Frost's character shouts "We're coming to get you Barbara" down the phone to Shaun's mum, despite the writer of Night of the living dead not noticing the reference at the premiere.

[@truantbuick]

At 27:58, almost the exact same dialogue happened in Return of the King where Aragorn says they need to distract Sauron from Frodo, and Legolas yells out "A diversion!".

[@KieronDarbyMusic]

You should watch Faulty Towers next, Boomer. Amazing sitcom with John Cleese!

[@helvete_ingres4717]

much more conventional sitcom comedy of manners than the absurdist father ted

Why don't you do a compilation of your best reactions of all the episodes. They've had me laughing my head off at times, especially the old man on the boat on the Xmas special.

[@eclectica1]

In a reaction treasure trove, QB's reaction to said old man was definitely one of my favourites.

[@damienyoung751]

The hamster on a bike was the best reaction

[@ajivins1]

There was an old British singer/entertainer called Des O'Connor who'd been gigging since the fifties. Once, he shared the bill and a dressing room with Buddy Holly. One night a brick came flying through the window with a note tied to it. The note said, 'We think you're great, can we have your autograph?' Des later said, 'I think the note was for him and the brick was for me!' Re, your missus. Is she sure she hasn't seen the lighthouse based 'Doctor Who', 'The Horror of Fang Rock'?

[@keefsmiff]

Great accent mate ..you nailed a semi Scottish/part Cornish lighthouse keeper....too funny

[@J.R.Hardly]

This is one of my favourite episodes of Father Ted.

[@stephenmurphy2212]

I think the whole point of Eoin McLove’s character is that it plays on the fact that celebrities aren’t always who they seem to be in real life e.g British “comedian” James Corden apparently is a horrible person offscreen.

[@hazelanderson1479]

And horribly unfunny onscreen too.

to answer your "what is this episode" question, many of the scenes are parodies/homage to universal/hammer/independent horror movies from the 30s through the 60s, a big one being of course night of the living dead.
