Its my favourite episode, Bishop Brennan running into the house with his cape flying yelling 'Crilllyyyy!' still has me in stiches whenever I watch it.
There are a couple of episodes of Father Ted that are owned by an Australian company instead of Channel 4, and unfortunately they don't allow reactions to those episodes on UA-cam. I think "The Mainland" is one of those episodes.
Trouble is they're not gonna have a clue about richard wilson/victor meldrew and the whole "I don't believe it" thing is gonna go over the boomers' heads. It's kinda weird referring to them as boomers when I'm older but that's the name he chose so I guess I'll roll with it
The title of this episode is a play on the early 80s WW2 film _Escape to Victory_ about allied prisoners (including Pele, Ossie Ardiles, Bobby Moore, Mike Summerbee... plus Sly Stallone and Michael Caine) playing a football match against Germans. No, I am not making this up. It really is an actual film.
The "someone" he has to kick up the arse is the Bishop who forced them to protest at the cinema in the first series and who was in the plague of rabbits episode.
The referee is Jason Byrne, a stand-up comedian. He's absolutely unhinged on stage, very unpredictable, improvises about 90% of his set. Check out him performing "magic" at the Melbourne Comedy Festival in 2010. It's so utterly ridiculous, but it's his short fuse and mental meltdown over the audience members that make him so great.
A little fact about Dick Byrne and Cyril, the actors auditioned to be Ted and Dougal, but the writers of the show loved their auditions so much they created characters for them in the show.
On your first Father Ted reaction a spontaneous list of things Father Jack has said broke out. My contribution was "More water", needless to say I have been waiting for this episode.
I liked the way Queen Boomer worked out that Ted would cheat using the wheelchair, but missed what he was using the fake hands for 😂 I recon she'd been on the dreamy sleepy nighty snoozy snooze! I also liked that the champagne Cork joke made you fall off your chair! That one has always got me too 😁
Queen Boomer has half-baby brain 😂 She worked out the remote-controlled wheelchair but then completely forgot that the fake hands had to control it. 🤣 I've been waiting for this episode as it's one of my all-time favorites. Especially with part 2.
🎉Big Congratulations to you both🎉 You're a beautiful couple and will make a fantastic happy family. Keep up the love and laughs, and many thanks for sharing. X
Kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse is a superb episode. Best to put the dog in another room. There is a danger you might laugh so hard, your dog might think you are having a heart attack. This is maybe my second favourite after Father Ted's Speed 3 and Douglas's comment "they were all in the nip (nude)".
I've always loved how, despite never being afraid of Bishop Brennan himself, even Father Jack was shocked out of sleep when the forfeit was announced 😂😂
A late congratulations on your engagement. Also the title of this episode makes me laugh, it being a parody of an early eighties Sylvester Stallone movie called Escape to victory. Your reactions are always great.
Great to see you have enjoyed the funny and ridiculous "father Ted" it was a memorable and popular show,fun to watch it again with you two again, nice to see comedy appreciated in America and Florida ✌️♥️🇬🇧
I've thought for some time that QB's involvement is essential. I know it's your channel, KB, and well done for that because it's great (easily one of my favs'), but you can't really not include her now. Not just because she's great of and in herself, but also the interaction between the two of you is a joy. x
This episode contains my favourite joke from probably the whole of Father Ted. When Dougal says 'the Italians know about football alright. And the world of Fashion. God, Ted, you remember that fellow who was so good at Fashion they had to shoot him?' 🤣
@@hannibalsmyth6779 No. It's a reference to fashion designer, Gianni Versace, who died when he was shot in the head outside his home (by a random spree killer, according to Wikipedia), so the joke is about Dougal putting the wrong spin on the reason for the guy's death.
I can see your not the type to share too much of your personal life KB and quite right that’s not what this is about but I genuinely wish you both all the joy and happiness in the world . So happy your both into Father Ted it’s part of our shared Anglo Irish cultural heritage and an all time classic , highlighted by this hilarious episode . 👍🏴
A lot of the external filming on Father Ted was filmed on two small islands, just off the coast of Ireland. The problem is that the residents of neither can decide which is the official Craggy Island. So every year they play each other in a football match. The winner is Craggy Island for the year, and the loser is Rugged Island...
Congratulations on the engagement . Totally bonkers and great laughs , the Queen was pretty much right . With a two parter I'm expecting some revenge next time .
Just for people to understand, Dermot Morgan who played Father Ted was very unwell during the filming of the final four episodes of this last season. He was complaining of having chest pains during this episode. Ardal O'Hanlon's father is a doctor, who came to see a recording and told his son (who played Dougal) that he thought Dermot looked terrible and needed to get medical help soon. That didn't happen, and the day after the taped the final episode, Dermot collapsed of a massive heart attack and died aged just 45.
It was during the final episode that he had chest pains. When filming the Shaft scene, Tommy Tiernan as Father Kevin repeatedly flubbed his lines, forcing Dermot to do the dance over and over again, causing him chest pains by the end of the scene.
@@jackcarter5101 Yes, I told that story before. However Dermot's health was cause of concern for Ardal, whose own father is a doctor, Dr Rory O'Hanlon, who knew Dermot looked very unwell and advised he should get medical treatment as soon as possible, which didn't happen.
@@johnking5174 Frank Kelly also recalled Dermot was only just passed fit to make the final series. He was on blood pressure tablets 'that would have knocked a horse out'.
@@jackcarter5101 He was in no fit state to make the last season. I don't understand how he became so unwell so quickly. When you watch the last season, he looks noticeably different in the face and eyes. His energy has changed. Remember season two was recorded in early 1996, and so fast forward just two years into early 1998 and Dermot's health has fallen badly.
Ya know...I just started watching "Father Ted" with him and both he and his lady are pretty cool folks. Congrats on upcoming baby and wedding. Always cool to see nice people doing good.
It's so funny when you see who played Fr Jack such a refined gentleman.. The best comedy to come from our shores bar none.. This came out when the church was in such trouble and it was the first time we young and old openly mocked and laughed at the church.. The next episode Bishop Brennan gets kicked up the arse is very funny.. Glad ur enjoying it Dougal was brilliant 👍☘
Do these people know that you are a dirty troll, who stags off and laughs at the Hillsborough disaster where 97 innocent people died or that you spend 99.9 percent of your time calling people disgusting names . Any chance you could walk into a heavy goods vehicle.
@@ajorngjdonaydbr This method of cheating is not unfamiliar in your part of the world then? As the man in the orthopedic shoes said - I stand corrected..
I've recently discovered your channel and I love you guys! You are both awesome and funny, you complement each other so well and I love your relationship! You both are true relationship goals ( I hope one day I find a great love and soul mate like you to share my life with and watch Father Ted with) So congratulations to the Royal Highnesses King and Queen Boomer on your engagement and to the Royal baby news!!!
Firstly thanks.. Brilliant.. Secondly congrats.. Thirdly.. When I thirst started watching you guys I suggested the next episode.. One of the best.. 👍 👍
Queen Boomer: you look more radiant and more beautiful in every video that I watch. I hope you are keeping well as your pregnancy progesses. Much love from Ireland xxx
Thc close-ups when the Italian was preparing to take the penalty kick were a parody of a scene from the 1981 war film Escape To Victory, directed by John Huston and starring Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine and several well-known footballers of the time including the great Pele.
9:47, I just realised that was a joke about Mussolini. An Italian who was so good at fashion they shot him. I'm pretty sure Dougal meant so good at Fascism.
The next episode (Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse) is probably one of the most funniest and I think you will definitely enjoy it. 😂👍
"Hairy Japanese bastards!"
Definitely! 😂
Its my favourite episode, Bishop Brennan running into the house with his cape flying yelling 'Crilllyyyy!' still has me in stiches whenever I watch it.
This is the reaction i am waiting for
Arguably the best
Btw, the next episode is often rated as one of the best Father Ted episodes.
It definitely lives up to the hype haha
It is arguably the best
@@robertstrong6798 I think it might be... the SECOND best episode.
@@cockshield Ah i see what you did there haha
Congrats on the engagement. I love this episode but the kicking the Bishop up the arse is better lol
You skipped an episode. It's called 'the mainland". Trust me, you don't wanna miss it!
I don't believe it
There are a couple of episodes of Father Ted that are owned by an Australian company instead of Channel 4, and unfortunately they don't allow reactions to those episodes on UA-cam. I think "The Mainland" is one of those episodes.
hello, what if Brian doesn't know about One Foot In The Grave, he wont know of Richard Wilsons catchphrase
Trouble is they're not gonna have a clue about richard wilson/victor meldrew and the whole "I don't believe it" thing is gonna go over the boomers' heads.
It's kinda weird referring to them as boomers when I'm older but that's the name he chose so I guess I'll roll with it
@@simonn2045 "I don't believe it" - that's what he says!
This is episode 5. Episode 4 is the mainland and not one you'd want to miss.
The title of this episode is a play on the early 80s WW2 film _Escape to Victory_ about allied prisoners (including Pele, Ossie Ardiles, Bobby Moore, Mike Summerbee... plus Sly Stallone and Michael Caine) playing a football match against Germans.
No, I am not making this up. It really is an actual film.
thats where the music at the end of the match is from.
That's a relief. I thought it was just a horrible dream.
Father Ted was some of the best comedy writing you'll ever see - so glad to see you guys enjoying it 😊
The "someone" he has to kick up the arse is the Bishop who forced them to protest at the cinema in the first series and who was in the plague of rabbits episode.
The part 2 is one of the greatest bits of telly ever.
The referee is Jason Byrne, a stand-up comedian. He's absolutely unhinged on stage, very unpredictable, improvises about 90% of his set. Check out him performing "magic" at the Melbourne Comedy Festival in 2010. It's so utterly ridiculous, but it's his short fuse and mental meltdown over the audience members that make him so great.
A little fact about Dick Byrne and Cyril, the actors auditioned to be Ted and Dougal, but the writers of the show loved their auditions so much they created characters for them in the show.
This episode is so god damn funny.
All the old ladies screaming 'YOU'RE SHIT, AHHHHH'. 😂😂😂😂
On your first Father Ted reaction a spontaneous list of things Father Jack has said broke out. My contribution was "More water", needless to say I have been waiting for this episode.
Props to the Queen for clocking Chekov's wheelchair!
Edit : Welp, bless her for forgetting about the remote control 😂
I liked the way Queen Boomer worked out that Ted would cheat using the wheelchair, but missed what he was using the fake hands for 😂 I recon she'd been on the dreamy sleepy nighty snoozy snooze! I also liked that the champagne Cork joke made you fall off your chair! That one has always got me too 😁
Thank you for your father ted reactions, they bring me back to a happier time
Queen Boomer has half-baby brain 😂 She worked out the remote-controlled wheelchair but then completely forgot that the fake hands had to control it. 🤣 I've been waiting for this episode as it's one of my all-time favorites. Especially with part 2.
Double congratulations on the engagement and the little one on the way. I wish you both many many happy memories with your lives together.
12:12 - 12:23 You can almost see Queen Boomer's cogs turning for ten seconds as she figures it out! 🤣🤣🤣 (congrats btw!)
The next episode is possibly the greatest episode of any comedy. Ever! I can't wait to see your reaction.
🎉Big Congratulations to you both🎉
You're a beautiful couple and will make a fantastic happy family. Keep up the love and laughs, and many thanks for sharing. X

The next episode, kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse is one of the best shows of all the series
9:33 Dougal being entertained by Ted's abuse of the over 75's 😃
I wondered if Dermot Morgan had been ad-libbing... 😀
The 2nd part is the pinnacle of the whole series in my opinion 😅
👍🏴
Finally! I was waiting for you guys to do this; with your experience with football chants etc
" I'm a Dougal"🤦🏻♂️😂😂😂😂
Congratulations you two!🎉💜
OMG- I'd forgotten how completely bonkers this one was! My favourite's all the Mrs Doyles doing the football chants and drinking cheap lager-beer!!
She is showing her elbows again !!! ...brazen hussy !!!
You cannot miss the episode were he kicks Bishop Brenon up the arse , it’s an all time classic
It's so mental how crazy stupid funny this program is😂😂😂
Ohhhhh, you're both in for a treat by the next episode!
I've always loved how, despite never being afraid of Bishop Brennan himself, even Father Jack was shocked out of sleep when the forfeit was announced 😂😂
I love how you said "f**k off" like a British person 😁
A late congratulations on your engagement. Also the title of this episode makes me laugh, it being a parody of an early eighties Sylvester Stallone movie called Escape to victory. Your reactions are always great.
The training session where Ted is shouting at the players is a reference to Brian Clough
You need shooting! And the story is not apocryphal, the video is out there of Clough saying it.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! xxxx And thank you for all the laughter! You all keep laughing, you will just be fine! CONGRATULATIONS! xx
Great to see you have enjoyed the funny and ridiculous "father Ted" it was a memorable and popular show,fun to watch it again with you two again, nice to see comedy appreciated in America and Florida ✌️♥️🇬🇧

What a brilliant episode love this programme ❤thanks King and Queen Boomer
You guys missed out on the mainland episode of season 3 Graham Norton is back in it it's so funny my favourite episode
the kick bishop Brennan up the arse episode is by far the best
I love the way Craggy Island has a population of about 50 but still has 3 "working" priests and 5 retired priests.
... and its own Chinatown area.
@@cockshield There is a Chinatown on Craggy Island? I wouldn't have done a Chinaman impression if i knew there would be a Chinaman there to see me.
Congratulations on your engagement guys🎉
hey guys love from ireland congrats to you both!!
boomer laughing at the champagne cork made me laugh..
"Wait a second, these are fake arms....."
Oh wait till you see the next episode, kicking Bishop Brennan up the ass...
Yesss! Congratulations you two (again)!
Well done.
Congratulations you two, I'm really happy for you both
Hey, you missed the episode "The Mainland"! That's one of the greatest!
They pretty much nailed football in this one.
Congratulations on your engagement to the lovlyiest couple on UA-cam what better way than fater ted reaction ❤
Do these people know that you are a dirty troll, who stags off and laughs at the Hillsborough disaster where 97 innocent people died or that you spend 99.9 percent of your time calling people disgusting names . Any chance you could walk into a heavy goods vehicle.
Eyy, congrats to you both!
Prediction almost right. You're good at this.
Remember watching these as they came out, that , "more water" line from father jack had my TV on pause for at least ten mins while I stopped crying!
Hey guys 👋 Hope u live stream the wedding, I want to be there to witness two muppets getting married 🤣🤣👍
I like the "wait a minute... these are FAKE hands!"... As if 'fake hands' represents a known method of cheating..
It does when you're using a remote control with your real hands to control a player. Use a second brain cell
@@ajorngjdonaydbr This method of cheating is not unfamiliar in your part of the world then?
As the man in the orthopedic shoes said - I stand corrected..
All hail KING and Queen Boomer!!
Wow you're at football episode already. The next episode after this is my all time favourite!!!
Huge congratulations on your engagement! Queen Boomer you’re showing too much elbow 😛 (ignore the haters as they’re not worth it.)
I've recently discovered your channel and I love you guys! You are both awesome and funny, you complement each other so well and I love your relationship! You both are true relationship goals ( I hope one day I find a great love and soul mate like you to share my life with and watch Father Ted with) So congratulations to the Royal Highnesses King and Queen Boomer on your engagement and to the Royal baby news!!!
The Italian priest cheering after the ref blows for a penalty is perpetuating the stereotype that Italian players will deliberately dive
The next episode is possibly better than the Christmas special.
Congratulations on the engagement 🎉
Congratulations to you both , sending love & good vibes from England!! 😀
Omg my single favourite ever episode of Father T!!!
Very many congrats guys...happy for you :)
It's about time you made Queen Boomer an honest woman! Congratulations to both of you. Wishing you all the best.
14:34 the Queen deserves a bunch of flowers man
Firstly thanks.. Brilliant.. Secondly congrats.. Thirdly.. When I thirst started watching you guys I suggested the next episode.. One of the best.. 👍 👍
Congratulations, wonderful news 🥳
Huge congratulations to you both! 👩❤👨 Hilarious reaction. ⚽😂
Congratulations folks on your engagement and your baby, well done.
Congrats you Boomers, both on the engagement and the tummy bump ! Xx

There are eight episodes in season three on the final season of Father Ted
Episode eight is called going to America
@13:00 she is indeed one of a kind!
I couldn't watch a show with you guys if you have to pause to laugh all the time lol
Ooooh congratulations :D Thats amazing :D
her prediction about the dead guy in the wheelchair with fake arms was hilarious lol

Congrats to you both
9:47, I just realised that was a joke about Mussolini.
An Italian who was so good at fashion they shot him.
I'm pretty sure Dougal meant so good at Fascism.
It's a reference to Gianni Versace who was murdered the previous year.
