No!! Has to be cigarettes alcohol and rollerblading. That is hilarious. And A Christmassy ted with the boring voice.

And the one with the raffle...and the geezer with the monotonous voice sitting at the end on the sofa alone, looks at the jesus shawl and says, "ah, 'tis yourself". Ha!! Superb.

Or the whistle theft, or a song for europe, or the one with the holy stone of clonrichert, or the one with Buzz Cagney and the sad preist Kevin when they play snakes and ladders, or the one with the cuban priest and the cluedo...

Hahaha...Overload...too funny...:biggrin:

The one with Gramhan Northan irish dancing in the caravan....is good. but my fave is the one where Three priests come to visit the stone of clonricket and one ends up dead, the other quits priesthood and goes off with hippies and the third has the stone shoved up his A##e as Fr Jack wud say. and that wud be a exumantical (spelling) matter!
Ah its close between Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse, and the Speed-esque one with the rigged milkfloat lol. That is just an amazing episode. I've got the first series, and am in the process of getting the others: need to remind myself the of the comedy genius that is Father Ted.

I have the whole lot on one box set. Fantastic.

Best character, the sarcastic Father Jessup.

Mrs Doyle: Would you like a cup of tea Bishop?
Father Jessup: No, we'd rather die of t'irst (thrist)
Mrs Doyle: Are you sure you wouldn't like a cup?
Father Jessup: No, we'd rather die of thirst...
Mrs Doyle: (nodding and turning) Ok so...

Also, has anyone noticed how Mrs.Doyle's mole is in a different position each episode?

The first episode was always going to be the start of something big. What with Dougle coming in with shave foam on his face then "how did that get there? I didn't even shave this morning", and the dreams/reality chart....hilarious.
Mrs Doyle is the best ever.
Especially when she keeps falling off the roof!

Did you prefer him in my hero or father ted? i really think he was better in father ted...
Definately Father Ted. His my Hero charcater was, IMO, based on Dougle himself. Although th;at Blessed thing he is in is absolute tosh.

Lol yeah simpsons just beats it for me

If you would like to start a society maybe it would be a good idea to ask a society founder how to do it
I made one before. Like, a year ago. I'll ask.
Ok. Lets just turn it into a society herer and whoever wants to join can. Then when it is successful, it'll be a real society.
