Father Ted	comment	An unhinged 1995 Anglo-Irish sitcom (or perhaps more accurately, an Irish sitcom paid for with British money) by Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews, about a tiny parish on a miserable little island off the coast of Ireland where the Catholic Church has exiled three of its most embarrassing members: the embezzler Father Ted Crilly (Dermot Morgan), the idiotic Manchild Father Dougal McGuire (Ardal O'Hanlon), and the drunken, violent, foul-mouthed skirt-chaser Father Jack Hackett (Frank Kelly). Their housekeeper is Mrs. Doyle (Pauline McLynn), who is really dedicated to serving tea. The majority of episodes were Fawlty Towers Plots that involved Ted's efforts to either escape from the island or make a nice pile of cash, neither of which he ever succeeded in doing.A cult hit in Britain and Ireland, the writers never planned to continue it beyond its third season (due to running out of ideas). Star Dermot Morgan (who played Ted) died from a sudden heart attack one day after he finished filming of the final episode, resulting in the common misconception that the show was ended because of this. It is considered one of the most influential sitcoms of all time, so much so that members of the progressive reform movement which swept the deeply religious and conservative Republic of Ireland in the 1990s (the "Shamrock Awakening") are referred to as the "Father Ted Generation".Flame wars can break out over whether the show should be considered Irish (its writers, cast, settings, exterior locations and humour were all Irish) or British (it was produced by a British company for Channel 4 and the studio segments were shot in Britain). Though it was long said that Irish national broadcaster RTÃ‰ had turned it down for fear of offending the Church, Linehan and Mathews have always maintained they never even considered offering it to RTE because they wanted it to succeed - it's not for nothing that the British Channel 4 has been affectionately/sarcastically dubbed "the home of Irish comedy".Came eleventh in Britain's Best Sitcom, and is beloved in Ireland, regularly repeated on Irish television, and lines from the show are quoted about as often as Brits quote Monty Python.At one point, a musical adaptation ("Pope Ted: The Father Ted Musical") was planned and written by Linehan and Mathews. Linehan, who has repeatedly expressed transphobic views, has since stated that the production was cancelled because the producers were uncomfortable with his campaign against transgender rights.The entire series is available to watch legally for free on YouTube in some countries.

In the case of the Chinatown, Ted had been off at a different parochial house for several weeks, presumably the time it took for the Chinatown to be made.

By the end of one day, Bishop Jordan dies of a heart attack indirectly caused by Father Ted, Father Dougal accidentally pokes so many holes in Bishop O'Neill's beliefs that the bishop renounces his faith and becomes a hippy, and Father Jack has become so irritated with Bishop Facks that he has shoved the relic they were blessing up his backside.

Father Ted / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: "Now Tom, this is the first time you've been trusted with such a large consignment of raw sewage. ... Now, this button opens the doors, and this button shoots the sewage out." You already know what's going to happen, right? After Ted fixes the toilet at the beginning of "Tentacles of Doom", he flushes it to make sure it works. The scene cuts to outside the house, where water shoots up out of a square vent. Later on, Bishop Jordan is standing in the front yard directly over said vent as Ted uses the restroom. "Honestly, what kind of situation would require the use of a pair of fake arms and a remote-controlled wheelchair? Only, I imagine, a completely ludicrous one!" The perfectly square bit of dirt pointed out by Ted near the start of the episode "Are You Right There Father Ted?" later comes back to haunt him, as does the massive amount of Nazi memorabilia owned by the priest Ted visits at the beginning of the episode. After seemingly getting away with kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse, a completely inebriated Ted orders Dougal to make hundreds of copies of the photograph he took of the deed, including a 10-by-10, blown-up copy. When Brennan returns to Craggy Island, he eventually sees the incriminating photo, propped up against the side of the parochial house (because Dougal thought that meant 10-by-10 feet), and he realises that Ted did indeed kick him up the arse.

(Although he does have an excuse for both his tendency to aim his music at an older crowd and his bad temper when the cameras are off: as he tells Ted and co., "I have no willy.")

And then shoves His Holiness out of the way and rushes back to Ireland. Not to mention screaming "God damn it!" in the middle of the Vatican. After destroying a car that was sent to be raffled off, Ted is completely calm at first, then abruptly starts freaking out in the middle of the night. Delayed to the point of a Brick Joke in "Speed 3", when Dougal delivers milk to women expecting the usual milkman, and walks away entirely oblivious to the fact that they opened the door entirely naked. At the end of the episode, he's just settling down to go to bed when he leaps up shouting "Those women were in the nip!" In "Flight into Terror", Ted is too pumped up by being in mortal peril to be scared as he climbs outside of the plane in mid-flight to fix the fuel pump. After fixing it and averting the crisis, he immediately begins freaking out as he remembers his fear of flying.

Father Ted / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Graham Linehan calls himself out on this in the scripts book, noting that the first episode they wrote - "Grant Unto Him Eternal Rest", which aired as the finale of season 1 - has some rather weird out-of-character moments, like Ted reciting poetry, Dougal swearing and Ted and Dougal seemingly plotting to kill Jack at the end. The first season in general also features a brighter parochial house, a slightly cleaner Father Jack, and much more of an emphasis on Cringe Comedy than the absurd and surreal humour that marked the second and third seasons. The first series also plays Ted as more of an Only Sane Man straight man to the antics of Dougal and Jack, particularly in regard to their jobs as priests. For example, in the first season Ted tells off Dougal for admitting that he doesn't take Catholicism seriously, whereas in later series Ted himself is far more relaxed ("That's the great thing about Catholicism: it's all so vague and no-one really knows what it's all about") and more concerned with his own glory or pettiness.

Bishop Brennan has been having secret affairs and even has a secret son in America. Father Billy "The Spinmaster" is a gambling addict who steals the proceeds from a raffle to pay off his debts. Father Williams is caught with a box of guns in his house, implied to be for the IRA. "Remember Father O'Reilly? He's in Clare. They moved him after he owned up to that O J Simpson thing."

He can identify bottles of wine just from the sound they make, and can down their contents in a split second while Ted's back is turned. Guest character Henry Sellers is also this. A sip of champagne is enough to set him off.

The bishop having a secret love child with his housekeeper was based on the real life Bishop Casey scandal. It is implied Father Jack has lecherous intentions towards the adolescent schoolgirls he was teaching and beat the male pupils, many instances of which were later revealed. The Republic of Ireland did indeed repeatedly win the Eurovision Song Contest and eventually entered a joke song performed by a puppet so they would not be stuck with the expense of hosting it again. A priest smuggling weapons to IRA terrorists and sheltering Nazi war criminals were also incidents taken from real life.

Never tell Ted that his Golden Cleric Award does not make him the best priest in the country.

Actually weaponised to distract shoppers so that the priests can escape the lingerie section. In "Are You Right There, Father Ted?", when Ted is accused of being racist towards Craggy Island's new Chinese residents, Dougal tells him to hold a presentation praising Chinese culture, as a gesture of good faith. It may count as a subversion, though: when Ted asks Dougal to follow up on his brilliant idea, poor Dougal panics, as he didn't think coming up with a good idea would be so much work. And the Chinese people didn't actually enjoy the presentation, but they appreciated the free drinks afterwards. In "Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse", Dougal advises Ted that, if he pretends as though he didn't kick Brennan up the arse, the bishop will believe that he had simply imagined it. In fact, this plan works rather well. Ted would've gotten away with the whole thing, had His Grace not seen the blown-up copy of the photo taken of the deed.

Of course, the interior of a BAe 146 isn't nearly big enough for a soundstage. Who keeps parachutes on passenger aircraft? You can't evacuate a plane in mid-air. The doors on a passenger plane cannot possibly open in mid-air like they did in this episode, they aren't designed to do that. There is no way that Jack could have gotten out with the drinks tray then. This also means the scene where Ted climbs on the outside of the plane in mid-air is implausible.

Played straight with Ted's smoking - at first it's something he's occasionally seen doing, but late in Series 2 it turns out that five minutes without a cigarette causes him to break out in a sweat and become unable to think about anything else. Also done with Mrs Doyle and her tea-making habits. In Series 1 she makes tea for Ted, Dougal and Jack quite often. In Series 2 she offers them a cup nearly every time she appears and it's revealed she stays awake all night with a fresh cup of tea for each of them just in case they should need it. Then in the Christmas special she freaks out at the new tea machine because she can't cope with the idea never making tea for them, and ends up destroying it to prevent this. Also played straight with Jack's physical appearance - at first he was fairly clean but then got filthier-looking and uglier as the series progressed.

Father Ted / int_e9550e66	comment	Nun Too Holy: Virtually every priest or nun in the series, definitely including the protagonists. Father Ted is a gambling-addicted embezzler, Father Jack is a foul-mouthed, violent, alcoholic womaniser, and Father Dougal openly mocks the teachings of the church. Many of the one shot clergy members crank this up to eleven. Examples include Father Williams, who was caught with a box of machineguns in his house and is shot by the Army over it, Father Billy, "The Spinmaster", a gambling addict who owes some dodgy types a large amount of money and ends up stealing the Craggy Island Parochial House new roof fund, Father "Todd Unctious", who tries to steal Ted's golden cleric award and steals another priest's clothing "because it seemed to be the way things were going", Father Fitzgerald, an avid collector of Nazi memorabilia who has been sheltering an actual Nazi for over fifty years, and the thoroughly vile Father Fintan Stack.

Father Ted / int_ee7ed46e	type	The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything
Father Ted / int_ee7ed46e	comment	The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: The three priests don't do much by way of priestly activities like conducting services. This was apparently a deliberate ploy by writers Graham Lineham and Arthur Mathews, as they felt that it would be too predictable. As it is, we do see Ted preparing for a Mass (in a manner similar to a boxer readying himself for a fight) a couple of times, and the only time we ever see him saying Mass is played for laughs as he's doing it on a mobile altar being towed by a tractor. He's also never seen taking confession, although he does talk about doing so on one occasion which shows that he clearly uses the confessional as a source of gossip. With the exception of the aftermath of that funeral, Dougal and Jack are never seen doing any priestly things although there are plenty of Noodle Incidents (see above). Justified by Dougal's status as The Ditz and Jack as The Alcoholic - you wouldn't want them doing any priestly work either. The implication is that all three of them have been Reassigned to Antarctica. Jack is, theoretically, a retired priest, and Ted and Dougal are, theoretically, his caretakers. In practice, Craggy Island is a place where particularly unpleasant priests are sent to see out their days, with keepers selected from otherwise undesirables. Leads to We Want Our Jerk Back! when Jack gets too sick for Ted and Dougal to look after any more, and a much younger (and even less pleasant) priest is sent to Craggy Island for them to keep. Lampshaded when Dougal becomes a milkman and Ted is unable to think of any parish duty that would prevent him from doing so. It's pretty clear, though, that all three priests know very little about Catholicism. Jack is permanently drunk, Dougal is the resident ditz and, when he gets to thinking about it, is highly skeptical about the Catholic faith, and even Ted refers to God in a context that hints that he believes that other gods exist, in addition to flouting or contradicting Catholic views on homosexuality, contraception and papal infallibility. At one point, it's made clear that he doesn't even know the birth name of the Pope.

Father Ted / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Too many to list, but here are a few examples: Ted calling Father Larry Duff on his mobile just when he's doing something important or dangerous and messing him up because of it. On one occasion he fell off a cliff while trying to find his phone. Another time he lost a ten thousand pound contest which required intense concentration. Any other priests that Ted calls tend to end up seriously injured or dead due to their phone ringing at an inconvenient time. Mrs. Doyle's constant tea offering is one of the most famous running gags. Her dedication to tea making is frankly disturbing. She asks over and over and over. Once, she asked via a very large series of written signs when the music was up too loud to talk. Another time when Ted came downstairs in the middle of the night, she was standing perfectly still next to the door holding a tray of tea, six inches from Ted's face when he turned the light on. She also offered tea to a man who had just explained he was deathly allergic to it, although he left before she could really press him. In fact, she tends to aggressively push various foods and drinks on people, but tea is the go-to. And on top of all this, she has tea specifically for serving to sheep. People on Craggy Island sure do jump out of windows a lot... John and Mary, the "loving couple" that keep trying to kill each other. Mrs. Doyle falling off the window bench whenever she stands on it to clean something or hang something up. Ted would like you to know that that money was just "resting in his account".

It's not clear if the writers knew it, but this is similar to a gag in Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (involving Dopey, of course). In the Christmas Special when Ted, Dougal and several other priests try to sneak out of a lingerie section of a store that they accidentally wandered into so that it won't cause a public scandal, they hijack a P.A system so they can say the store is closing to lure out the shoppers.

Dougal's first thought is that the babies are all copying his style. In the same episode, Ted presents Pat's manager with photographic evidence of Pat's indiscretions. Pat's manager responds by telling Ted how much he's willing to pay for the dirty photos. Again in the same episode, the priests realise that Dougal's situation is similar to the scenario of a certain action film, but randomly guess the wrong one. Also, this little gem from the episode "The Plague", regarding Bishop Brennan's phobia of rabbits: When Father Ted sees Niamh Connolly on television spreading crazy conspiracy theories about the Catholic Church, his reaction is, "As if there were anything sinister about that!" During the "Lovely Girls" competition. Mrs. Doyle and Mrs. Dineen being completely oblivious about the "more than 200 cases of forced transvestism" involving Mr. Sweeney over the course of the previous year.
