The Rebellious Priest & Old Grey Whistle Theft | Father Ted S2 E4 | Absolute Jokes

Dougal learns about friendship when he starts hanging out with a rebellious priest; Father Ted's picnic is interrupted; a whistle is stolen.
Beloved sitcom focused on three priests living on Craggy Island, a remote island off the west coast of Ireland. Father Ted Crilly is sent to the island as punishment for using charitable funds for a holiday in Las Vegas, but his true punishment comes in the form of Father Dougal Maguire and Jack Hackett, one a fresh-faced naive young priest, and the other a foul-mouthed, rage-filled alcoholic. Mrs Doyle is their nosy housekeeper, who makes plentiful pots of tea and never takes `no' for an answer. Despite their isolation, the priests get into their fair share of mildly sinful, entirely madcap adventures.

It's so adorable when Dougal runs out to play football with Damien.

[@leoniemedea2118]

Find yourself someone who looks at you the way Dougal looks at Father Damo.

[@NorthernWindNut]

Ted and Dougal gossiping about confession is hilarious

[@taloob493]

I still want to hear the result of that story

[@gordondean2165]

In all the episodes I cannot remember a single character being less than perfect in their performance. A superb show.

[@ebdo7863]

Yea, how did none of them go farther:( (Norton aside)

[@aadams1006]

Ardal O'Hanlon has the unique ability to look absolutely empty-minded. o _ o

[@richardboote2370]

It's not unique, most politicians do this with ease. There must be a reason for it

[@shaneupham705]

No matter how many times i watch father ted i still keep watching it over and over lol

[@Seasquares]

Me too !

[@jessie0050]

Me too it never gets old

[@AfridiZindabad]

The acting is so good I genuinely feel sorry for Ted when anything bad happens, especially when he had a disappointing and insulting experience at the picnic. That part made me feel really sad. The fact that he tries so hard to make things work and stays hopeful, is what makes him a v sympathetic character.

[@slobodanreka1088]

Thank you for not just quoting a line from the episode.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Amen!

[@Dorelaxen]

DRINK!

[@Dee010s]

I think he brings it on himself.

No swearing No paddling No single women No tree climbing No loitering Lol 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😅😅😅

[@Dee010s]

I worked on a tall ship and my Captain told me a humorous story about raising flags on the halyard. Nobody except sailors usually know what they say so this other boat once raised...Help wanted. Only naked ladies need apply!

[@austinweaver5649]

There were no trees in the park lol

[@maxpower1337]

❤️👍

[@jimisi7424]

jesus, that picnic. thats how you do surreal comedy. never been bettered

[@salmaalaoui7326]

My 16 yo watched the whole series during the lockdowns and absolutely loves it! Every time I call him down for tea, he shouts “I’ll be there in a minute” imitating Damo’s accent and I can’t even get mad at him 😂 this series will never get old

[@tasosdiaforetico7377]

That's phopping brilliant.

[@garyf2636]

'Put your clothes back on Carol, I can't concentrate'...🤣

[@JosephJamesScott]

The thing I love most about this episode is Ted trying to come up with the mother of all stories to protect Dougal even though just saying he found the whistle in Dougal's pocket is the easiest choice. I mean you get the feeling that Ted is mostly a decent person throughout the series, especially in that second episode where he wishes God to do something about Father Stone and then immediately regrets it, but here is is jumping on a live grenade rather than telling everyone that Dougal somehow had the whistle.

[@irishking1414]

Ah thé famous"that money was only resting in my account"

[@jamescressey5798]

a good long rest

[@83plg]

When i first began watching this show, i always thought there was an actual episode around the famous 'the money was just resting in my account' line

[@davewanamaker3690]

Ted should have been a politician. Money resting in his account would have been unnoticed.

[@margiewatson6081]

Dougal is delightful :)

[@RByrne]

The absolute pinnacle of comedy.

[@jway9097]

Not really, but it is pretty good.

[@RByrne]

Me and my old man watched this episode so many times we had to buy the tape twice because the first wore out. My favorite memory of him was repeating the lines of Damo and Doogle.

[@justinreyez5561]

dude that irate couple...Ted handled it like a G

[@catherinefan32]

They are definition of Karens

[@ashleywintle572]

The picnic scene has me dying off laughter

[@thebreakfastmenu]

Fup Baxtard Grasshole Yeah those are getting added to my vocabulary

[@SeeminglyOdd]

That's some hardcore gaming playing Street Fighter with Atari joystick controllers.

[@timber8403]

Would have loved to have seen more appearances by Fr Damo in this series.

[@slowedandreverbed-vy2wk]

weirdly enough, i actually spotted him in 'flight into terror'. he's in thr background :)

[@censusgary]

“Ah, that’s nothing, I was just going mad there.”

[@legionsmith5041]

Well Done!!! never tire of the lads from Craggy Island!

Father Ted is terribly funny

[@SabotPottery]

Everything is right with the world thanks to Father Ted.

[@countsmyth]

My sister met Father Damo, years ago working in the county council :-)

[@krathoon2338]

The locals are all so nutty.

[@Dee010s]

I adore the couple at each others throats.

[@Sitarya]

"Dougal, is there anything on your mind?"

[@a.tanner8524]

The policeman in the helicopter...go go go go go!

[@brettgesell4646]

Imagine if Fr Damian was a real Priest

[@breakfastattiffanys741]

I love love love love love when you find an episode that you didn't know existed! 😁😁😁😁

[@MrMagnusFogg]

Father Damien should have had a bigger role in the series, and be on exorcisms...I wonder what a conversation between him, father Dougal and bishop Brennan would be like...

[@marda0maranwe]

With bishop Brennan it will be extremely short. He will throttle him in 5 seconds. He will do great on exorcism though. Demon will leave his host and posses father Damien in a heart beat.

[@its22dm1]

classic! will never get tired of this show!

[@galelascala105]

To this day my family does the "what time's tea? No tea for you!"

[@jessie0050]

It will be like boyz in the hood 😂

[@roddmatsui3554]

“No tea for you!” *“Good! I don’t want any stupid tea!!”*

[@RatelHBadger]

Jacobs Creek Chardonnay 1991!!! You can tell that just from the sound?

[@cityhawk]

I wish I could do that with wine.

[@LS-nn2xl]

Consonant please, Carol 😂

[@a.tanner8524]

Is father billy who gets shot by the soldier the same father billy “spin master” who is the DJ in the episode where ted raffles the car to raise money to repair the roof?

[@wulfocrow5549]

Nae, two different actors. Both one off characters.

[@3leggedsharkkickssurferinballs]

I think Wulf is right...Looks a lot like him though! I asked myself the same Q when I first saw it.

[@jackson76724]

Genius - re-watchable like all the classics Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, Seinfeld, Dad's Army

[@SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

Knowing they were playing Street Fighter in Father Ted is surreal.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Another great episode of Father Ted. Poor Ted can't catch a break.

[@snipehunter4771]

The moment Mrs. Doyle turns out the lights on herself

[@jmalmsten]

12:13 wow... That escalated quickly... I mean it got out of hand ... really fast!

[@southernsight2527]

AHh... go on, go on... Just accept a big THANK YOU :)

[@indirac.4010]

This is the sweetest episode of all bc of the 2 young lad lol. All the other episodes were just older persons

[@irishking1414]

PrecXx B. Dougal is in every episode

[@carolkewley7410]

Nice soccer game in the end credits.

[@FIXTREME]

Blind guess: Dougal and Damo are playing the Atari ST version of Street Fighter 2 Edit: It's the Amiga port of Super Street Fighter 2 So when Ted say "Playing the old computer game, there?" He is actually 100% right

[@TerryClarkAccordioncrazy]

John and Mary's best scene ever, where there's a serious threat to someone else....

[@daisyrushton1574]

Fupp off is a great insult

[@carolkewley7410]

-It's FECK off.-

[@indirac.4010]

A great insult to who?

[@daisyrushton1574]

just a great insult in general

[@indirac.4010]

Thomas rushton: Oh, ok....

Just wonderful.

[@richardmoorejr.4396]

Ted: "Oh, it'll be perfectly satisfactory. Just excuse me for a couple of minutes." Ted leaves the living room to come up with an explanation of why he has the stolen whistle. There's a long silence back in the living room. Dougal to Benson: "So, I hear your babysitter got pregnant."
