"I won't be able to relax until the only rabbit left is the one sitting in your head working the controls"

[@teresas8173]

Funniest joke ever

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Father Ben is pure genius. Mocking the sitcom itself.

[@Satellite_Of_Love]

Graham Lineham did a similar metajoke in Black Books. "Blue Tunes".

[@SHINERKUSTOMS]

DRANK !

[@Hilts931]

A masterpiece from start to finish. Every line is golden and delivered to perfection. The timing, the visual comedy, everything… bit of an overused expression but they *really* don’t make comedy this good anymore. The ending is one of the funniest scenes I’ve ever seen in anything.

[@elviramadigan5296]

[@SuperJNG18]

Trouble with this episode is that it’s probably the best Father Ted episode and the one I want to show people when I want to introduce them to Father Ted...but it also begins with a meta joke that you only get if you’re familiar with the show.

[@newstarcadefan]

Actually, the bet one to get 'em started is Kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse.

[@SuperJNG18]

@@newstarcadefan Yes and no. Very characteristic of the show's humor and the second act is some of the funniest TV ever recorded, but it's also the second part of a two-parter and banks on you knowing about Bishop Brennan. By that margin, just starting with the three Bishop Brennan episodes in order (maybe with Escape from Victory in the middle to add context to KBBUTA) might be the way to go.

[@SuperJNG18]

(I will say, the episode my family's probably re-watched the most besides The Plague is Tentacles of Doom, and that's a pretty good introductory episode. The first one I watched was A Song for Europe, but that's because I'm a Eurovision fan and was curious, and that led me down the wonderful - pardon the term - rabbit hole that is Father Ted.)

[@Satellite_Of_Love]

I'd start with "The Passion of St. Tibilus" if you don't want to start with the first. Introduces Bishop Gobshite- er, Brennan, and gives a brief history of why the three priests came to Craggy Island. It's feckin' hilarious.

[@SuperJNG18]

@@Satellite_Of_Love That is a good one

[@RenegadeShepTheSpacer]

"Just a bad dream, Your Grace. Over in a mo'."

[@JRC99]

I think either this episode or Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse is my favorite.

[@pepe6666]

yeah agreed. i cant believe that he kicked bishop brennen up the arse. i mean he didn't just sorta half do it - he got right in there - right up the arse. kicked him right in the arse he did. ..maybe he didnt do it? i mean its the most unlikely thing to happen. he'd be crazy to just kick him right up the arse

[@RenegadeShepTheSpacer]

@@pepe6666 Why would he do that? He thinks Bishop Brennan is great.

Very "fawlty tower", this one. Love it.

[@mikepetergumball8337]

Yes even the up top of the stairs , very much the same. possibly the same set used

[@Hello_I_Must_Be_Going]

Yes, it looks like the same set.

[@alasdairbaird7303]

Is hamster

[@kascally]

@@Hello_I_Must_Be_Going - I thought the same, but I checked. It has the same peculiarity of a stairs that goes up to a landing for no apparent structural reason, and then down. It works better in Fawlty Towers because boarding houses are full of odd structures where two or more houses are run together, but not so well in Father Ted, where it's a single house. I expect it is done to accommodate the illusion of a stairs to a lower floor when the set is actually at ground level.

[@jamiecapes2644]

First episode of Fr. Jack I ever saw, and I was hooked. We've gone for tea at the Parochial House, shot a vid of my wife and I singing 'My Lovely Horse' at the gate of the Parochial House, and have gone by there every year for the last 5 years. Not this year, though. This is just around the time we usually go to Ireland, and we're sad we won't get there this year. Think I'll go have some Jameson's.

I've said this before but Father Jack always reminds me of my late grandfather. He was of Scottish extraction and didn't drink because it cost money and he was completely irreligious but it's like watching him on the telly.
