Going to America | Father Ted S3 E8 | Absolute Jokes

[@wendycairoli3964]

I just finished binge-watching this series and I could not help but shed a few tears at the end there. The montage and the "good night, Ted" were a sweet tribute. As a french person I didn't even know this series existed 2 weeks ago ! I'm glad Foil, Arms & Hog's channel led me here 🙏 🇨🇮

Thank you for adding all 3 seasons. It was a pleasure to watch them all. It's sad that in the Netherlands you never see something about this program on the television. Mr Bean and Keeping up appearances is something that we can watch over and over again but I think that this program should be added to this list as well. A shame that so many people do not know of the existence of this great program.

It is a cottage industry in Ireland. You can't go through the Dublin Airport without being hit full in the face with little sheep and shamrocks and leprechauns and Father Ted.

Funny you should say that. in the ICU, I had a nurse named Maureen from Ireland of course who said something very similar. Cheered me right up.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

The last ever episode of Father Ted was bittersweet. It's sad that it was the last one and Dermot Morgan passed away the day after filming was completed. Graham Linehan and Arthur Matthews decided Series 3 was to be the last because they ran out of ideas and they felt there was nothing more they could do with the characters and Dermot Morgan decided to leave to do other acting roles. Tommy Tiernan was fantastic as the suicidal depressive priest Father Kevin and his acting in the Radiohead scene was brilliant. The ending was sad when Ted gets off the plane and decides not to go to America and Dougal tells Ted that he'll stay on Craggy Island forever. The saddest thing about it - Dermot Morgan dying. Father Ted was a groundbreaking Irish sitcom.

[@bofflethewaffle]

Apparently the original ending involved Father Ted being on the ledge that Kevin was threatening to jump off at the start of the episode but after Morgan's death it was changed to a montage in his honor instead.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

​@@bofflethewaffleIt would have been good if Father Ted had a happy ending.

[@chucks1255]

This channel is new but it has brought me great joy this past month, sad that it's the last one indeed.

[@McRocket]

What's even more sad to me is that Dermot Morgan (Father Ted) died of a heart attack the day after taping this episode. R.I.P. You will always be remembered for the tremendous job you did on this wonderful show.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

The reason why it ended was not because Dermot Morgan died. Graham and Arthur decided Series 3 was to be the final season because they felt there was nothing more they could with it and with the characters and Dermot decided to leave because he wanted to move on and do other acting roles.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

If Series 3 wasn't the final season and if Dermot hadn't passed on. It could had ended with Ted going to America only to end up back on Craggy Island in Series 4.

[@thadtuiol1717]

Can't help tearing up by the end of this episode knowing that it was the last one and that just 24 hours after filming it Dermot Morgan would be gone for good.

[@jezebeljones659]

Priceless! And if Dermot Morgan had to leave the world so abruptly, the timing couldn't have been betterr. Make no mistake, I'm not being callous. This is the best way to accept that we all have to die -- by laughing at it. Thumbing our nose at it. Dancing. Laughing. Taking the piss!

[@HarishSasikumar]

A day after recording the last episode of Father Ted, Morgan had a heart attack while hosting a dinner party at his home in south-west London. He was rushed to the hospital, but died soon afterwards.😢 From Wikipedia

The writing of that show was top-notch, some scenes brought out the sincerest, most heart-warming and comedic moments I ever watched in a sitcom. That lovely horse song alone deserves an award. Let's not forget that scene on the plane 24:41 LOL how on earth did they come up with that painting. I can't imagine anyone else carrying the role of Father Ted. it's like the character was only written for Dermot Morgan to play, and all of the characters writing and interaction gave me such warmth and a mission to visit Ireland one day. How is this show not as popular as friends is beyond me. I never knew about this show existence till a short youtube video for ''I hear you're racist now, father;'' bit, and I am so grateful for the youtube algorithm.

[@gui18bif]

I think "father ted" would have worked well for another 2 or 3 seasons with a new father, managing dougal and jack around as a tribute to ted.

Just so you know, if you ever visit Ireland, literally every single person there can quote almost the entire show at you. It is a major cultural icon and influence in Ireland.

Sometimes I feel a little bit like Kevin, in those days things seems just a little to hard or bad, when it happens I seem to always remember good ol' Father Ted and I watch some episodes here on YT and always laugh a lot, it always helps me bring a smile to my face and remember to not take life so seriously. The opening evokes so many nostalgic feelings with its music. It's like I'm back at my grandmother's house and she's watching some Mass on the TV. For me this is the best comedy series of all time, all the cast is so spcecial and talented, It just good jokes all the time in all episodes. I'm glad it's on yt since I'm not from Ireland and it gave me the chance to discover it.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around that Dermot, a human being with an amazing personality, was reduced to a pile of ashes very shortly after this was recorded.
