Best moments of Father Ted

My selection of the best scenes in Father Ted. Couldn't quite get them all into the feckin' ten minutes limit, but you get the picture...

[@TJMack-]

"Small...Far away" gets me every tine.

[@magicsteve07]

One of the best comedies still stands the test of time

[@jackthebassman1]

Mrs Doyle falling off the window sill is an absolute comic masterpiece.😅 And Pauline Mclyne is a wonderful actor.

[@silasfatchett7380]

Her timing of switching off the light is delicious!

[@eilidhsomerville5554]

Also love the fact that she is a huge animal lover and is totally against Greyhound racing. She's just brilliant!

[@flyer1658]

Everytime you re watch episodes you see and hear new bits of comedy genius that you missed before. Amazing show

[@Toby4929]

I attended a Catholic Mass about 10 years ago, held by an old Irish priest. The second he opened his mouth, Father Ted popped into my head. I giggled uncontrollably for the next hour. The more I tried to suppress it, the worse it got. The missus was mad as hell with me............

[@anonUK]

Did he give good Mass? Or was he ready for St. Clabbert's?

[@aileen694]

Don't blame ye, Toby! I would've done the same😂

[@graemem111]

Ahahahahahahahahaaaaaaah! You're not 'Toby' at all. You're Linehan! Thanks for making me lose my drrrrink.

[@JA-qi1fb]

I heard a German friend describing his catholic priest having a known & long standing (should I put it that way?) affair with a local prostitute. Anyway, it was so blatant & hypocritical it became a 'final straw' & enough to break away from his faith. When I presented him with a boxed set of Father Ted he thought it wonderful, his wife's favourite character was Dougal & their favourite episode was about the priest hiding war criminals. 🙂

[@silgen]

A work of comic genius.

[@StickyBud9395]

One of my favourite comedies , along with Blackadder .

[@stuartryan610]

[@aidangriffiths5075]

Dougals rant about the beast is oscar-worthy

[@Areyousayingidontknowmyname]

[@dougaldouglas8842]

One of the best comedies going. Shame it had to end

[@Kanbei11]

I'm ok with it ending, better to end on a high than to drag it out over years and years getting less funny (looking at you Simpsons)

[@elizabethcurtin4468]

Absolutely hilarious,Nuns,Nuns reverse,reverse haha

[@stevebaker6149]

Graham Linehan is an absolute genius who has brought so much laughter to the world with Father Ted and the IT Crowd.

Also, Black Books.

@@stevebaker6149 Nah. Doesn't matter how you feel about trans people, obsessing over them and going out of your way to attack them at any opportunity the way Linehan has actually does make you a shit person. His wife actually left him over it.

[@johnlawler1626]

Frank Kelly was brilliant as fr Jack 👌

[@edeledeledel5490]

Our local Funeral Director's firm is Hackett's - founded in 1922 by John Hackett (known as Jack). I bet they loved it when Father Ted first appeared on telly...

[@jasbails9857]

My all time favourite gag is in the caravan: " these cows are small, those ones outside ar far away"😅

What a show best comedy ever made takes me back to my youth. I'll sleep in the ditch 😂😂

[@brianfreeman8290]

Mrs Doyle's tumbles crack me up. She's brilliant !

[@margaretflounders8510]

You should hear her rant about dirty books!..She broke Father Ted out of his character, he had to push her through the door!

[@phoebe2234]

The kids in the creche, so funny 😊

[@baroquer]

Mrs. Doyle is AMAZING lady ♥

[@marcse7en]

The real test of a good comedy, is does it make you laugh so hard, it brings tears to your eyes? ... I can confirm, it did! 👍🤣

[@missmerrily4830]

It never gets stale. Best comedy series bar none. 🤣👍

[@sarahlong9962]

Kills me the man and wife who are so sweet one minute and trying to kill each other the next

[@paulannable3734]

That’s a satire about how Irish people must never ever show the world that something is wrong. They always pretend in front of the priests. I thought this was just a joke until I married into the Irish and saw it with my own eyes. Unless it’s just my in laws. Like, my Father in Law had a heart attack and refused to call an ambulance because the neighbours would know somethings wrong level kind of stuff.

[@angelwingz892]

Absolutely real too.

[@user-cp8xi3ej2m]

What a wonderful show 😂

[@bbb462cid]

I *love* this show. At least as much as I love the Young Ones and Blackadder.

The best is whenFather ted is doing an impression of chinese people and then they suddenly appear at the window!!

[@eilsmile8732]

Mrs Doyle was the best!

[@Robin838]

I hope that sanity is restored soon, and we can all go to Father Ted: The musical.

[@otispugface1302]

I have no problem watching this in Canada :)

[@Sadrakarugendo]

Father Jack 😂😂😂😂 Nuns, don't tell me am still on that Fecking Ireland 😂

[@pauljordan4452]

Island.

[@AndrewGivens]

Best moment of Father ted was when Ted said "I'll just give him a call" and it cuts to the car, and while he's fumbling for the phone (which is in the footwell), graham linehan drives off a huge cliff and is impaled on a fifty-foot tall granite phallus.

[@aries6able]

wonderful compilation! thank you!

[@petejones879]

The Chinese impression and the Hitler impression (not shown here) are my favourite funny moments in this show.. Oh and the field day event also

[@Sadrakarugendo]

Dungle: I just remembered Alien's is on after the News 😂😂

[@spackretired]

Like the disciples at Pentecost..

That opening scene with his hair on fire!. 😅😂😅😂🤣🤣🤣

[@kelvinpollock6671]

I loved Mrs Doyle aussie

[@dryflyman7121]

Do not believe that some of these comedy scenes never happen in real life in Ireland, because they do ! I was driving back from Connemara to the Dublin ferry, after a great weeks fishing one May. It was the early hours of the morning but just daylight and in Galway a car past me going the other way and there was a totally naked man spreadeagled across the bonnet ! In one of the small towns on route there was a Garda car parked with two Gards in, so I stopped to report it. One of them told me not to worry, he’d just roll off when he’d had enough 🤣🤣

[@helenmeldon2612]

Yes,life in the far west of Ireland, is abit like Craggy Island, I had watched all the series before I lived there for eight years,really miss it!

[@RuthCampbell123]

Best moments without the protest scene? Careful now

[@edeledeledel5490]

What about the gaggle of priests caught in the largest ladies underwear dept in Ireland?

Omg! This is some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen. The drunk priest with his hair on fire and the one screaming nuns! nuns! Did they show these on PBS in the U.S? Cause I feel like I've seen these or something similar to Father Ted years ago on PBS in Chicago. So funny.

[@JohnSmith-mz3ny]

David Kelly...genius.

[@malahammer]

Frank Kelly....perhaps!

[@seastorm1979]

"who´s Arnold!!??"

[@johnbratley6926]

The priests house is actually not on an island it's in the Burren National Park. The owners have a charity swear tin by the gate for visitors who may have a sudden urge to say FECK or ARSE. It's quite a bleak place.
