American Reacts to Father Ted (#8)

[@marshallthefirepup5795]

R.I.P. Brendan Grace. 1951 - 2019. He had his fun. That's all that matters.

For some historical context, the divorce referendum was happening in ireland while this show was being written. Massive church backlash. Also worth remembering divorce was illegal in the earlier episodes when John and Mary are trying to kill eachother.

"Did you say father Larry Duff was coming?" "God, I'd better give him a call" *Oh no, no leave Larry alone!* Hahaha, you're learning, man :D.

[@apkelly01]

I met Brendan Grace in the airport a few years back and I was talking to him about Father Stack. He did his "ya dirty fecker" line. This role for Brendan is the complete opposite as he's renowned as a clean comedian, his shows were very family friendly. So for Irish people to see him like this was a shock but fantastic. That's why it was voted number 1 because of Brendan Grace. Poor Brendan Grace died last year which was very sad. I love this episode too, but my favourite by far is the Tentacles of Doom with the three Bishops.

[@JeremyPhillips1981]

The "drink!" priest at 21:21 is Declan Mulholland, who played Jabba the Hutt in the original cut of Star Wars. Lucas animated the monster version on top of him for the scene included in the Special Edition.

[@The1andRory]

A Belfast sounding Jabba would have been odd.

Another great episode of Father Ted. Highlights for me were Jack trying to get away on the lawnmower and him running over Ted. 🤣 Also, rest in peace, Brendan Grace (Father Fintan Stack). Who sadly passed away last year.

[@fijiarc2090]

How did they do the car running over stunt??

[@MrDCWood]

Sh00k up Ricola I imagine they used a stunt-double and trained professionals. It was great how they pulled it off.

[@mrcritical6751]

Probably also the same way the young priest who hangs out with Frosty became one

I had the pleasure of meeting Brendan Grace. (Father Stack). Funniest side character on the show and impersonated his character. He was a gentleman. RIP

[@aaronmicalowe]

I know a guy who's a priest in Northern Ireland. He had his 25th anniversary of becoming a priest. Two bishops came along for the celebration which including singing hymns from the bible rap style while the bishops did a conga around the dance floor. Fun times. 😁

[@johnnylynch2290]

I listened to Ardal O Hanlon on Tommy Tiernan and he considers throwing the boot in during the credits is one of his favourite memories from the show. I agree completely 😊

My favorite episode of the series. When I saw the episode? I went to an Irish bar where one of my friends worked as an bartender. I watched the reboardcast with my friend. The patrons of Irish descent got a shock and a few laughs.

Father Ted is one of my all time favourite shows! Thank you for reacting to them. Oh and also, you've picked the perfect time to react to this episode, what with quarantine, self-isolation, and COVID 19 around the world. An episode about an infection is fitting during this time. The operative episode to watch. How about 'The Mainlands' next?

Brendan Grace's delivery is fantastic here, especially when Ted's friends are around. His stand up was fantastic too. A personal favourite was his joke about the Chinese Take aways.

Hi Noah, as you said, I can`t think of a bad episode of this program. This was another fun one & we got Mrs. Doyle as determined as ever, even if she has to use cue cards. The elderly priest wolf-men, was hilarious in itself.

I think Father Jack on the lawnmower is a reference to the country singer George Jones. It was alleged that his wife, Tammy Wynette hid all the car keys to stop him driving into town to go to bars so he took the lawnmower and was stopped by the police on the highway for being drunk in charge of a vehicle. I cant wait for you to review the episode with Gemma Craven as the author who comes to visit Craggy Island and Ted develops a bit of a crush on her. It also contains Mrs Doyle's finest moment describing her books.

[@greenman3464]

Brendan Grace ( Fr Stack ) was one of the nicest guys. An old fashioned stand up gag man. Watch his routine "father of the bride" done in the best Foster Brooks tradition

The Plague is a great one. Great bit with Father Jack and Bishop Brennan in it.

[@bartconnolly6104]

Father stack is played by brendan grace who sadly died lastvyear. A very good standup charachter comedian. He impressed frank sinatra so much he brought him back to las Vegas. Probably his most famous charachter is 'bottler' a drunken schoolboy.

One thing I will say Noah. Before you watch the episode The Mainland’. S3E4. You need to watch an episode of ‘One Foot In The Grave’ else you won’t get the Character or the running joke in that episode. Otherwise you should be fine.

[@captainadams8565]

There is an episode when Father dougal said to Father Ted 'you don't actually believe in all that being crucified and coming back from the dead do you?' Ted replied yes I do, how did you actually become a priest, did you save up 12 crisps (potato chips) packets? It sounds more funny in the show.

[@chrisduncan5842]

That was in Series 1 episode 6 called Grant Unto Him Eternal Rest

I must be knocking on, because I seem to be the only person who ever gets the reference to Bob Dylan in Mrs. Doyle's flash cards... check out 'Subterranean homesick blues', probably one of the first pop videos.

[@phillipbishop5419]

Noah how you become priest is first period of privet prayers and vocation weekends to parish. Then you meet Bishop after he agrees you go to School with other guys which is just for people who want to become priests and while you there you learn and study for roughly 7 years. Then you get ordained. That short answer love this show can’t wait for next episode.

How do you become a priest.....After you complete seminary, a bishop can ordain you into the Catholic ministry. You will first serve as a deacon for at least six months. After this service, you may be ordained as a diocesan priest serving a parish or other local area; or take vows and live in a religious community, and be part of "father Ted sitcom.

[@mrcritical6751]

My guess is Father Stack knew a bishop who ordained him as a priest in hopes he’d become a better person if he was closer to god

I can't speak for the Catholics, but for the C of E you usually need a Masters in Theology to then apply for training as a priest, the upon graduating you serve as a curate for a couple of years under a qualified priest, and then you get your own parish, I think. I'm no expert.
