Big fan of Father Ted here - probably one of the few shows that (for me anyway) retained its high quality throughout the three series run.
So, I know we've done something similar for The Fast Show (albeit, that was related to characters), so what's your favourite scene from Father Ted?
Me first...perhaps not one of the obvious ones, but the little fella's face when he delivers the killer line has me in stitches every time I watch it.
So many, from the same episode as the 1st post.
I can't work out how to post it up, and perhaps a tad obvious but love the episode were he kicks Bishop Brennan up the arse!!
Of course, there are no Maoris on Craggy Island.
"and of course the f word father...I'll stick the effing pitchfork up your hole....";
(can't seem to find a version without ****in ad's)
Just for the f***in' ell in the distant background. Had me in stitches first time around.

bigbloke - FTFY.
Loved this one...
Thanks for the fix 😳
The Speed skit with the milk float 🙂
Has to be Father Stone for me. When Ted's in the bath.
"doing a Father Stone" has become part of the language in my house (even for my son who's never seen Father Ted,)
The one where he's reminiscing about father Jack...inc a scene where he drives into him on the golf green.
Panel beating the raffle prize:
Oh and the couple in the shop!
'Pat wants to put his massive tool in my box'
and
'I don't believe it'
My Lovely Horse music video. Love it.
I hear you're a racist father.........****ing Greeks.......
I have a weird memory of an amusement park where they're sitting on something being lifted by a crane - never found it again. Did I dream it in a mad Dougal-like moment, or does anyone else remember it?
Lovely fags... From the lent episode.
Kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse is my all time favourite!!
Did you press the button Dougal?
"no farther jack, dont drink that, its ......"
( jack spits it out and shouts) "****ing water"
Either the Hitler scene or the 'near...far away' scene.
Absolute classic series. Like all greats...he died too young!
yeeeeeeessssss! Drac you made my day! Brilliant and I'm not Dougal! The Spinning Cat is awesome.
Monty beat me to it. 'Down with this sort of thing' 😆
When Father Jack jumps out the plane with the drink trolley attached to the last parachute!
I'm sure I actually wet myself laughing at that the first time i saw it...
The writing of 'my lovely horse'.
Dougal excitedly shouting "right Ted, let's go!!!"
Ted "calm down Dougal, it's just a bit of fun"
Fade out and in to reveal seedy looking smoke filled room with beer cans and bottles on the floor.
Ted "JUST PLAY THE ****IN' NOTE!!!!!!!!"
hairy hands love it especially the rescue from the nursing home!
fantastic
'My Lovely Horse'...cracking.
"I've turned it up as high as it'll go, Ted. At this level you could hear a p..."
The episode with Bishop Brennan and all the rabbits
OR
The episode that ends with Brennan's sarcastic assistant in Jacks unperpant hamper.
Don't call me Len you little ***** i'm a bishop (or words to that effect)
So many, lots of which have been posted already.
Can't find it on YT, but the one that goes:
Father Ted: How long has Father Jack been living in there?
Father Dougal: Uh, he started just a few days after you left.
Father Ted: Maybe he's agoraphobic?
Father Dougal: Jack scared of fighting? I don't think so Ted.
Always makes me chuckle.
As an aside, there are hours of juvenile fun to be had by texting Father Ted quotes to yer mates' landline numbers.
The episode with Bishop Brennan and all the rabbits
"It's like some sort of rabbit rock concert Ted"
Brilliant.
Doesn't get any simpler or funnier. I laughed till I cried at [url=
The clip that currenty runs through my head once a day is
'Father Jack, would you like to say something about our lord?'
'Arnold?! Who's Arnold?!'
or

Any part of the Chinese on Craggy Island. Simple early setups for gags to follow but genuis.
I like Father Dougal's list on the wall of things that don't exist.
Loch Ness Monster
Elvis
Non-Catholic Gods etc
And of course "that would be an Ecumenical matter", a useful phrase in so many situations.
there are too many 'classic' lines in that series , to single one out would be wrong, the truth is its even funnier after the umpteenth watching, you know whats coming , but it still makes you laugh. Got to be one of the best ever, irreverent comedy with a serious edge inside.
funny seeing the other serious thread on religion nearby, that would have made father ted chuckle !
I actually got to say "that would be an Ecumenical matter" at work the other day in context. Which was nice.
I think all my favourites have been posted. Including the Hitler window sketch, the Milkman with his big tool, the near and far cows etc.
Mrs. Doyle: There's always time for a nice cup of tea. Sure, didn't the Lord himself pause for a nice cup of tea before giving himself up for the world.
ather Ted Crilly: No, he didn't, Mrs Doyle!
Mrs. Doyle: Well, whatever the equivalent they had for tea in those days, cake or something. And speaking of cake, I have cake!
[She holds up a cupcake]
Father Ted Crilly: No, thanks, Mrs. Doyle.
Mrs. Doyle: Are you sure, Father? There's cocaine in it!
Father Ted Crilly: WHAT?
Mrs. Doyle: Oh, no, not cocaine. God, what am I on about? No, what d'you call them. Raisins.
Mrs Doyle's ability to make Father Ted feel quite uncomfortable.
Mrs. Doyle: [i]They were a bit obsessed with the old... S-E-X. God I'm glad I never think of that type of thing Father. That whole sexual world. God, when you think of it it's a dirty, filthy thing, isn't it Father? Can you imagine Father? Can you imagine Father, looking up at your husband, and him standing over you with his lad in his hand, wanting you to degrade yourself? God almighty can you imagine that Father? Can you picture it there Father? Oh get a good mental picture of it. Can you see him there? Ready to do the business? [/i]
Small... Far away scene for me! May have to have a Father Ted fest tonight!!!
'small vs far away' plus one
there was an episode where mrs doyle meets up with other old ladies.they start literally talking in gibberish,then one of the old ladies levitates instead of walking (i know i didn't explain it very well).
also the old priests playing world cup football (father jack in a radio controlled wheelchair).i hate football,but loved that episode 😀 also all that has already been mentioned 😀
I had forgetten all about Father Ted, these clips are so funny - just done a little wee in my pants!!!
hels +1. "That would be an ecumenical matter" is an incredibly useful get-out phrase in life.
Its all the work of genius. But my favourite episode....
It doesn't matter how many times I've seen it, it still makes me laugh until it hurts
[i]'hello Len'
'don't call me Len you little prick,? i'm a bishop[/i]
😆
episodes but these are quite funny:
Not episodes but pretty funny
Classic, never get tired of watching it.
Dougal in this scene
Fop off you fopping foppers.
When Ted and Dougal end up in the toilet with that blokes wife in the caravan holiday episode.
Oh and the joke telephone discussion on the plane.
The first episode of series 2, when they keep bumping into the unfortunate couple on holiday is great.
But the finale with the naked husband on the car bonnet is hilarious, cracks me up every time. I think its the attempts to avoid eye contact at 60mph which do it.
Can't seem to find a clip online though?
EDIT : Same episode as above 🙂
All the priests stranded in the lingerie department...
<
hahhaha binners i watched that very one last night belter !
i seem to have only brought " the best of" with me but its good some belter on it.
Either the Hitler scene or the 'near...far away' scene.
Amen.
Mrs Doyle falling off the window sill, the thing she does with her leg get me crying laughing, not sure why but it does
The bit where Bishop Brennan is meeting the pope and finally snaps out of his cataonic shock at being kicked up the arse.
CRIIIILLLLYYY!!!!!!!
😀
"Teamatic , takes the misary out of making tea"
"what if i like the misary?"
The look on Mrs. Doyle's face when she finally guesses the name Father Todd Unctious.
Mrs Doyle's Bob Dylan/Subterranean Homesick Blues tribute with the cards saying Go On, Go On, Go On...
Father Dougal McGuire: I don't believe in organized religion.
JUST PLAY THE ****IN NOTE!
Then later on in the next scene where they play the song and Father Jack gets the shotgun out!
No, I'll pay
Or
Near, far away
Classic
"Bingo!"
"No luck then, Ted?"
"God! Almost drifted off for a moment there."
9 minutes in - genius.
They've just got into bed and turned the light off. Father Ted turns the light on for some reason and Dougal thinks its morning already 🙂

fervouredimage - that's another of my favourites, and so many people miss it. I think it may actually be Graham Linehan who shouts it too.
It is, he confimred it on Twitter. he then posted a link to a clip someone had sent him of an overdub of the scene in Casino Royale where le Chiffre has double bluffed Bond in the card game and you hear a "f****** hell". Brilliant.
"FED UP OF AHHHHHHHHHH BRIIIIIIIICK"
"GET ME OFF THIS FKEIN ISLAND".
Oh, my sides.
roller blades cigarettes and alcohol
as jack sobers up ....
"wheres the other 2"
