For anyone curious, this is a show about three priests in middle of nowhere, Ireland. Staple Irish watching and can be found on the production company’s youtube channel [here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klrS-1zznR0&list=PLQTAXw5ECeFJWpoe9tlUkC8_QWiCkhWVj)
Don’t look up the creator’s current activities.
What the Simpsons is to most English speakers’ vernaculars, Father Ted is to Irish people. It’s hard to overstate how big a cultural footprint it has. People quote it a million times a day without even realising, news stories are interpreted through it, nearly everyone over 35 has seen every ep at least once.
It has been convincingly argued that it did as much as the Church scandals of the 1990s to break the hold of Catholicism over social morality here. I do think there’s a case for that.
That Linehan lost his fucking marbles since is a tragedy, but the show is a masterpiece, in the same way The Smiths stuff isn’t bad just because Morrissey’s insufferable now.
A hilarious show. A shame Dermot Morgan left us so soon. Don’t let the creator being a complete fucking lunatic put you off enjoying this though.
It was Curb Your Enthusiasm before Curb
It’s a spider baby ted, it has the body of a spider and a mind of a baby.
You let Dougal do a funeral!!!
I love this show! Also, don’t miss “The IT Crowd”, equally brilliant.
But does Father Ted [kick ass for the Lord](https://youtu.be/VYvqOfrs6CA?si=Mikt_hSusQH6bo01)? Always thought they were the same actor lol Father Ted is hilarious regardless.
‘These cows are not real. Those cows are faaar awaay.
So apparently the creator behind the show have some form of mental illness since he yells at anyone on Twitter and got himself divorced by being obsessed over some stuff.
