Father Ted - Episode 2 (Reaction)

[@phil4893]

The show is jointly written by Graham Linehan and Arthur Matthews. In the scene where it’s Ted’s birthday, the priest who stands and says he has to leave is Arthur Matthews. He also appears in ‘Speed 3’, the milk man episode.

I apologize for the poor quality. Copyright allowed us to use this version

[@BeardyBaldyBob]

The audio is more important I find for comedy, so it's not so big of a deal imo And the quality is more than enough to see what going on so its all good 👍

[@conorbrierley1]

The W is silent, its pronounced Smiticks 😉

[@paulrutherford3534]

She is so naive

[@veryvarley6706]

This is one of those rare shows that gets better and better. You form surprising attachments to the characters. John and Mary ( the fighting couple ) were based around the idea of one of the writers family always arguing until they meet their local priest where they would transform into this pretend loving couple on their best behaviour.

[@seldom_bucket]

🤣 john and mary were always like the personification of the pouges to me.

[@Neil0014]

Loving the vids guys keep them coming, the guy who plays father stone is Irish comedian Michael Redmond who moved to Glasgow Scotland and lives directly across the street from me I see him sometimes when walking my dog.

[@bradlucy]

So cool

[@ElevenBC]

Slightly interesting fact... for just £10 you can visit the house and sit inside for some tea and a scone. The current owner (at least when I went in 2018) owned the house when the series was filmed and shows you a lot of the parts of the house where filming took place. Her daughter helps with the serving and was the baby who appears in a later episode!

[@Sara_Kane]

"Out of Africa." 🤣I've always loved this episode, despite the seeming general consensus that it's the worst. Then again, I don't think there's a single episode of Father Ted that I'd consider poor. It's one of my fave sitcoms of all time, to be sure! It's wonderful to see you reacting to it, seeing a new audience loving it is always a joy to see. :)

[@samuelgarrod8327]

One of my fave episodes. Michael Redmond is perfect.

[@roryslaine7896]

Fair play to ya on the Smithwicks. I'm an Irishman and we usually call it 'Smithicks'. Get a steak or a burger into ya and you'll enjoy it more.

[@zedcarr6128]

I recommend Draught Guinness in cans. Chilled, of course. Or Magners Irish Cider.

[@stepheneamonn]

Nice! Smithwicks (pronounced Smithicks) was my grandfather's favourite beer, used to share one or two with him in front of some terrible action movie, his preferred genre. RIP James!

As a dyed in the wool Brad & Lucy fan, and a huge Father Ted fan of many years, this is comedy Nirvana for me. 🥰

We have a brewery in the UK. Called Wychwood. It produces a few nice beers but the best known is Hobgoblin. They have merch too and one that was pretty good was a T-shirt saying “Whats the matter, lager boy? Frightened you might taste something?” You reminded me of it with your reaction after drinking harp.😆

IMO, I would say this was one of the weakest Father Ted episodes and the upcoming one, POST, is one of the best episodes. There are very few average FT shows, most of them are great.

[@nothernmonkey8612]

Can’t wait for you to go through this series & the following, it just gets better & better

Harp was called Harpic which is a toilet cleaner over here in Ireland. ( I heard it has improved)

[@carlhartwell7978]

3:21 Dermot Morgan and Ardal O'Hanlon had such great chemistry in this (clearly Graham Linehan 'has' an extremely astute sense of who to cast...I put that in quotes b/c he's cancelled now...a whole other topic!). Anyway RIP Dermot Morgan, a comedic genius, lost well before his time 😢 5:06 That's very apt and totally justified! Dougal or Muppet are very good put downs for unwarranted idiocy!

[@scousegamer88]

Best comedy ever written

[@ackerjawaka4742]

Michael Redmond who plays father Stone is a famous comedian and a personal favourite of the 41st best comedian ever Mr Stewart Lee ☠️ I used to think why the f-ck would anybody want to watch other people watching stuff on the Internet but since I subscribed to your channel I absolutely love it, it's like being in the same room enjoying it with you plus you are both very funny and not annoying like some of them that just sit there making snide comments and ruining the program for...well me anyway 😜 thank you for letting me be part of your world 🍺🍻🍀

Father Ted is brilliant. Brad is going to disappear in a mysterious accident if he be taking pot shots at Momma's head again...

[@PaddyD378]

If you pour 80 % Smithwicks into glass then top it off with a Guinness head you'll have a popular drink from Ireland known as a pint of "Special" or, you could go half Smithwicks and half Guinness and its known as a pint of "Mixed" or "Black n Tan" very similar to in flavour Kilkenny beer!!

[@ChemicalW6]

Only a minute in and I’m so sorry you had to try those! 😬 not what I’d recommend lol love from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@lucyprevo]

Just a random thing to know, "Smithwick's" is pronounced "Smith-ick's", you drop the "w" for some reason, just how we say it here in Ireland 😉😂 Certainly a classic ale here 😌

[@garethm3242]

Just discovered you guys. Hi from Ireland! Loving your reaction to this show so far, feels like you intuitively *get* our humour. Most of the characters in the show, as I'm sure you're now aware, are solidly based on deeply ingrained stereotypes here in Ireland. I was raised Catholic, and was about 11 when this show came out, and remember how wild it seemed that priests - who were everywhere in society here, school and community-wise, were the subject of such outrageous comedy.

[@garethm3242]

Oh, and it's pronounced "Smith-icks" :)

[@megdelaney3677]

[@bradlucy]

🤣

[@MJN1941]

Great show! BTW, don't give up on Irish beer just yet. The two you tried aren't very good. Nobody in Ireland drinks Harp, and Smithwicks is not a particularly good ale, but people drink it because it's cheap and relatively low in alcohol; good for when you are driving. Anyway, keep them coming! Slainte! from Dublin.

29:10 Do you guy's have a PO Box? I'm sure many of us Brits would love to send you some of our IPA style home grown local Ales to try! I certainly would.

[@jabbra1837]

This episode is a grower, it was a dubious choice making it the 2nd episode of what was a new show at the time, but over time it's become a favourite of mine. It's a very bland episode admittedly, but I just love how relatable it is to real life, we all know a real life Father Stone, albeit slightly less goofy 😂 It's like one of those songs on an album that doesn't stand out at first, but eventually ends up being the most played one 💁🏻‍♂️

Picking out this as a weak episode is like picking out the least good looking Hollywood starlet... Father Ted has no 'bad' episodes imo. For instance I'm a huge Red Dwarf fan (I hesitantly rate it above Father Ted...just a personal opinion, I'm a sci-fi 'nerd'). However Red Dwarf certainly does have bad eps...I could go on but before season 3 it was VERY hit and miss...3-6 were genius but it went on after that for too long for me and I don't think that's controversial! Dermot Morgan reportedly died literally the day after filming the final episode of the final third season of Father Ted...It's horrible to speculate upon this further. But sufficed to say. _FT_ NEVER disappointed and ended on a total high...as a program...not so much behind the scenes for obvious reasons. 😢 Thankfully Dermot Morgans greatest contribution to one of the greatest sitcoms of all time will live on forever, so long as 'Dougals' like you two continue to become aware of his work... As a totally irrelevant side-note, if only the TV adaption of THGTTG was as well done as the book...it was 'ok'. The 2005 film was VERY mediocre. But if either had been done well, they could have been the greatest. Also RIP Douglas Adams...So long and thanks for...something fishy maybe. I can't remember because I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle. And I've misplaced my towel! Some passionate THGTTG fan/talented Producer/Scriptwriter/Director seriously needs to do Adam's work the same justice that Jackson did for TLOTR. Seriously. If done correctly, it would even eclipse Red Dwarf by a country mile...easily. I'm sure Grant Naylor' would agree!
