Father Ted supporting priest poll

Father Neil Hannon!
Father Spodo Commodo!

"I knew a woman once, but she died soon afterwards"

^^^actually laughed out loud C+Ping this

No all of the above option?

Greatest poll of all time.

Father Austin Purcell - "We put an extension on the extension - and now the house goes round in a circle"

"The first one, that's the sound of a fridge. The second one is the sound of a man humming."

Where's Larry Duff?

Recurring character, so not under the confines of this poll

Father Todd Unctious (not a real priest)

He took the other priest's clothes cos that was just the way things were going!

i'm dyin' here...

Father Flynn ("It's me in the nip! With a dog!"), though the sarcastic priest was a real contender

Decided on Fintan Stack for being both hilarious and utterly terrifying. And for getting Dougal drunk.

I cannot choose. I love all of them, even Graham Norton.

he was v good in this

haha Damo

"He's not the boss of me!"

laughing priest is kind of terrifyingly close to home

Laughed heartily at Romeo Sensini

does Dick Byrne count as a supporting priest?

top 3:
Father Fintan Stack (Jack's replacement who liked drum n bass)
Father Flynn ("It's me in the nip! With a dog!")
Father Hernandez (Cuban priest)

which one was the one who mrs doyle spent hours trying to guess the name of and then looked really smug when she finally got it?

Who was it that made reference to somebody running their electricity of their gas and their gas off their electricity and saving £200 as a result

oh yeah Todd Unctious sorry xp

If that is your real name

Austin Purcell, see the youtube above (xp to tmgts)

Who was the priest who shook his fist at god, shouting "YOU BASTARD!!" after some other priest had died?

Father Paul Stone

he was saying it wrt Father Jack 'dying' - "he could've been Pope!"

who's the priest that father dougal accidentally convinced to become an athiest hippy?

xp aye steve is right but it was never paul stone

i.e. "you know the part in the Bible where it says Jesus is the son of God"

priest: "yes"

father dougal: "and how he died for our sins and all that"

priest: "yes yes"

father dougal: "well that's the part i just don't get"

He was a bishop so maybe he doesn't count.

xxpost

chrz ledge!

who's the priest that father dougal accidentally convinced to become an athiest hippy?

SHAFT!

I can't choose!!!

"It's me in the nip! With a dog!" is one of my favorite FT moments!!

Father Fintan Stack (Jack's replacement who liked drum n bass)

He's a contender too.

"he could've been Pope!"

Chuckle

i.e. "you know the part in the Bible where it says Jesus is the son of God"

priest: "yes"

father dougal: "and how he died for our sins and all that"

priest: "yes yes"

father dougal: "well that's the part i just don't get"

The best thing about that bit is how Dougal saunters on with a look of vacant bliss on his face while the Bishop stops walking in utter horror.

internet says bishop o'neill is the hippie convert.

internet also has full list of names mrs doyle comes up with when trying to guess todd unctious' pal's name:

Fr. Andy Riley,Fr. Desmond Coyle,Fr. George Byrne, Fr. David Nicholson, Fr. Declan Lynch, Fr. Ken Sweeney, Fr. Neil Hannon, Fr. Keith Cullen, Fr. Ciaran Donnelly, Fr. Mick McEvoy, Fr. Jack White, Fr. Henry Bigbigging, Fr. Hank Tree, Fr. Hiroshima Twinkie (or Hershey McTwinkie), Fr. Stig Bubblecard (or Bubblecarrot), Fr. Johnny Hellzapoppin' , Fr. Luke Duke, Fr. Billy Ferry, Fr. Chewy Louie, Fr. John Hoop, Fr. Hairycake Linehan, Fr. Rebulah Conundrum, Fr. Peewee Stairmaster with the Tighthead Lips, Fr. Jemima Racktool, Fr. Jerry Twig, Fr. Spodo Komodo, and Fr. Cannabranna Lammer.

lol 'Hairycake Linehan'

Can I just take the time to note how happy I am that this threatened development never came to pass:

Oh fucking fuck -- 'Father Ted' to be AMERICANIZED

The best thing about that bit is how Dougal saunters on with a look of vacant bliss on his face while the Bishop stops walking in utter horror.

My favorite Dougal moment along the lines of vacant looks:

TED: "YOU LET DOUGAL DO A FUNERAL?"

*immediate cut to accident chaos/fires/smoke/Dougal just sort of standing there with an 'oh well' look*

Haha, "Spodo Komodo".

oh i voted 4 the cutty ranks one

*immediate cut to accident chaos/fires/smoke/Dougal just sort of standing there with an 'oh well' look*

maybe the best non-animated cut-to ever

Best poll ever.

Father Romeo Sensini was the Italian wheelchair indoor football ringer, right?

I'm torn between Drum and Bass Priest, the "I Knew A Woman Once" Priest and the Very Boring Voice Priest. #2 might win out I think.

I have no memory of the Kraftwerk priests, which means there might still be an episode of Father Ted I've never seen! Joy.

I can't remember the I Knew A Woman Once Priest! :-(

Father Romeo Sensini was the Italian wheelchair indoor football ringer, right?

Yep.

Results 1 - 5 of 5 for "romeo sensini" trapattoni. (0.16 seconds)

look at the first youtube clip posted

This is rock. I'm torn between Father Paul Stone, Father Hernandez and Father Flynn. I think I might have to vote for Father Hernandez, because y'know, celibacy is hard on a man.

Heh heh heh

I'm going to have to watch every episode of Father Ted in order before voting.

I have no memory of the Kraftwerk priests, which means there might still be an episode of Father Ted I've never seen! Joy.

aren't they in the Song For Europe episode?

Father Liam Deliverance is great value too.

Best poll ever.

Aye

Is Graham Norton happy-clappy caravan youthclub priest Fr Noel Furlong not on poll because G. Norton is so annoying? Because I remember laughing hysterically at that. But then I remember laughing hysterically at most of these, and the rest I don't remember at all, but would probably go "oh, this one" at and then laugh hysterically some more.

(sudden urge to buy complete set of Father Ted DVDs)

He's in more than one episode

aren't they in the Song For Europe episode?

I think they're in the raffle episode.

sudden urge to buy complete set of Father Ted DVDs

You're telling me.

Raffle episode in full: http://www.veoh.com/videos/v1143777p9Z3j5Xs

I had almost all of them taped off the telly, then I got the VHS box set, plus they repeat them all the time anyway so I can probably live without the DVDs, unless there's tons of extras on them - I don't think there is much?

Does Mrs Doyle's mole move?

Yes. Between Series 1 and 2 it moves from one side of her face to the other, and in Series 3 it vanishes altogether.

I finally voted for Fr. Damo.

Father Cave and Father Gallagher (gay priests on crashing plane)

"Should we not just have a bit of an old pray? Maybe God will... help... us..." (sits down)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Vc7mhiRJEkI

(Father Billy O'Dwyer has just finished explaining the turntables and mixing console to Ted)
Ted: So, what records have you got?
O'Dwyer: Records?

The "Blur or Oasis?" one.

^^^ Most 90s thing ever.

Huh, I was sure that Father Stone was not just the unwanted houseguest in series 1 but also the boring-voiced priest with the moustache in the lingerie section escape episode and so was as much of a recurring character as Father Noel Furlong, but it seems it isn't the same priest at all.

Tempted by Shaft priest tonight as I just watched all of that episode on youtube.

Father Jessop is very good, the "most sarcastic priest in Ireland".

"Did you take the back road Father?"

"No, we came round by SOUTHERN YEMEN"

Watched the episode where the island gets a chinatown and Ted inherits the Nazi gear last night. Classic.

I don't know the Priest's name, but the one in Christmassy Ted who has the boring voice:

Father Ted: Who's got the most boring voice?
Billy: What?
Father Ted: Of the lot of us, who's got the most boring voice?
Priest: (extremely dull voice) That'd be me, Ted...
Father Ted: Right, now, listen to me--
Priest: I have an awful dreary monotonous voice, God help me...
Father Ted: Yes, yes, now listen--
Second priest: (loud stage voice) Ted! Were you asking for a dramatic, exciting voice?
First priest: No. He said boring. He wanted a boring voice.
Second priest: In that case, you must excuse me for my impetuous interruption!
Father Ted: Listen! This is what we're going to do...

Yeah, this list is incomplete, I remember that one that keeps playing "Ghost Town" repeatedly, and yeah, a few from the Xmas special, the one who had ws having a nervous breakdown...but good work, etc.

ws tempted to go for Brian Eno for a cpl of seconds there.

It ws either jungle loving priest or Father Stone, as they're two sides of the same coin I'll go for neither. I chose the Cuban priest.

. I chose the Cuban priest.

He was played by Gupta from Only When I Laugh!

I remember that one that keeps playing "Ghost Town" repeatedly

What, you mean Father Billy O'Dwyer (gambling addict DJ) ?

It's all about Fr. Austin Purcell though, isn't it.

"I'll never forget what my father used to say. Always... ... NEVER..."

The Ultravox joke doesn't work because Midge Ure was in Slik before then, GOD-DAMMIT!

"What, you mean Father Billy O'Dwyer (gambling addict DJ) ?"

oops yes that's the guy.

"We run the electricity off the gas and the gas off the electricity and save £10 a week."
