A lot was ad libbed. Is brilliant I once used the...no round envelopes for me line at the post office buying supplies. The lady serving just thought I was simple
I feel like this is my life trying to live amongst the lawless satanists as a Christian. Warlocks, witches and wolves are v annoying. I’d prefer to be locked in a closet with him quite frankly..
'The Irish Guy', who has a football channel on UA-cam, sounds like this fellow, but he might actually be more annoying, tonally (although he does say some funny stuff).
He talked so much that even Mrs Doyle walked away with tea. People don't realise how much of a big deal that is because she always finds a way to give people more tea 😂😂😂
Ben, this is one of the best comic characters ever created; you're a genius. I still use "what's your favourite humming sound" regularly.......my wife thinks it hilarious 🙄.
"What's your favourite humming noise....?" That whole little rambling scene at the end of the episode is one of my favourite Father Ted bits EVER!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I always thought the neverending talking Priest guy was completely beautiful. Even when I was a little kid. I could literally stand and listen to him talk forever. He was just a completely and utterly beautiful guy right in his prime right here.
'' They have no morals and no respect for human life but what they do have and no one can deny this now they have the finest collection of boilers in the world '' Must be talking about Russia
Haha! Such a great performance Ben. Have I just dreamt this, or did I once see a stage version of a Marx Brothers show where you were playing Groucho? The night we went, I was the one who ended up over the shoulder of a reanimated statue.
One of my favourite edits in any comedy show - "No round envelopes for me, no way hose--" The cutaway before he even finishes saying José is just so random, always makes me laugh out loud 😄
I met him at a party once, Nice chap! I didn't have my Autograph Book and Pen with me but I nipped back with them as the party was a couple of houses away from me and he didn't mind me asking him - He was happy to chat about Father Ted etc.
What a brilliant performance! And am I wrong in thinking the last part of it was improvised? It has that kind of energy. Even more incredible, if that's the case!
I recently had to get the whole boiler in my house replaced... Ben I WISH the guy was as charismatic and charming as you talking about them... And I wish... Wish his father gave him real advice on lagging.... All the best from Dublin 👍
Ben, it was great to see you at Comic Con along with Michael and Patrick. 👍 You were all upstaged by Dogpool. 🐾😂 It was a great day, but it was VERY hot! 🌞
According to wikipedia you ended up in East Lindsey, Ben, and honestly I feel like the place magnetized you because of this character. I grew up in Louth and used to meet someone exactly like this every week.
"it's Yourself" (1.54). Beautifully thrown away, and one of the best lines in the entire series!
The pronoun "Yourself" which is reflexive in English actually comes from Irish Gaelic. Which I didn't know.
Ahh it's yourself!!!
The greatness of Father Ted was the supporting characters who were just as funny as the main cast. Absolute genius writing and acting.
This guy makes me cry with laughter. The delivery, the randomness, the digressions, the humming noises, he is brilliant.
Plus he's completely beautiful.
A lot was ad libbed. Is brilliant

@@pj5517 I sometimes specify 'rectangular, 4 corners' too. You are probably a sophisticate.
“I knew a woman once, but she died soon afterwards”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And I include Canada in that.
That part always gets me
@@rebeccayeatesmakeup or crashing the car to get teh money back!
That slays me everytime 🤣🤣🤣
@@rebeccayeatesmakeup and there was talk of me going ot jail for a bit...
"HELP ME" "THANK CHRIST" 😂😂😂
I always thought he said Ted Christ 🤣🤣
@@rebeccayeatesmakeup smh. Get hearing aids next time
@@rebeccayeatesmakeup disappointment.
Can we just appreciate how polite Father Jack was being. Himself stood in there and WAITED QUIETLY until someone came and got him out with an excuse.
I feel like this is my life trying to live amongst the lawless satanists as a Christian. Warlocks, witches and wolves are v annoying. I’d prefer to be locked in a closet with him quite frankly..
That’s an ecumenical matter
This guy is literally in every pub/bar in Ireland 😂
Have met a few in me time 😄
uk has its share
He's just like my dad
'The Irish Guy', who has a football channel on UA-cam, sounds like this fellow, but he might actually be more annoying, tonally (although he does say some funny stuff).
Youre not including Canada in that!!
When he turn to the embroidery on the sofa and says "Ah, its Yourself!" I nearly died of laughter.
I burst out 😂
Except he says "Ah, it's yourself".
Ted did the same thing, assuring him that visiting a woman is “only a drink”.
It's the timing. It's absolutely perfect.
He talked so much that even Mrs Doyle walked away with tea. People don't realise how much of a big deal that is because she always finds a way to give people more tea 😂😂😂
1:52 "Ah, it's yourself!"
Gets me every time 🤣🤣🤣🤣 "the first one there now, that's the sound of a fridge"
"Ah its yerself!" - one of the greatest lines of all time.
fantastic character - wish there was more of him.
The first time I saw this character on Fr Ted I had tears in my eyes with the laughter and he is still is as entertaining now as he was 25 years ago!
“Ah, it’s yerself!” Still the best line from Father Ted. Up there with “I hear you’re a racist now, father!”
I'm in complete agreement! Those are the best two lines!
I love "It isn't the Greeks it's the Chinese he's after"
I imagine he's driven mad with people coming up to him and saying "I don't bel-" ... wait, no ... "ah, it's yourself".
At a wedding right now and this guy is literally at my table. It's so uncanny, I'm typing this as he speaks.
Ben Keaton?
Ben, this is one of the best comic characters ever created; you're a genius. I still use "what's your favourite humming sound" regularly.......my wife thinks it hilarious 🙄.
Me cuideachd.
"I knew a woman once, but she died soon afterwards." 😂
"What's your favourite humming noise....?"
That whole little rambling scene at the end of the episode is one of my favourite Father Ted bits EVER!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of my all-time favorite visiting characters. Thanks for posting, and thanks for having made it so funny!
Some of the greatest comedy performances and writing ever.....what a tragic shame we now live in a world where we will never see its likes again 😞
My favourite Father Ted character hands down. Could listen to his boiler stories all day
Excellent actor, would love to see more of him on TV.
"Ah, it's yourself" my favourite line in the whole show! 🤣
Clearest and most articulate Father Jack has ever been
THANK CHRIST!!
That would be an ecumenical matter
Curtains...floor...gobshite!
Who are you?, what's in there?, are those my feet?.
I cant believe I haven't seen this actor in more stuff. He's brilliant 👏
Ben you nailed this role so much I still think of it decades later
Superb acting
You know a man's boring when Father Hackett can barely muster the strength to throw a punch.
From the start you can tell Jack wanted to go ‘medieval’ on the Priest but just thought ‘oh feck it’ 😂😂😂
Jack's kryptonite
Outstanding .
Just On The Edge Of Irritation .
Gold .
Brilliant Actor .
thanks for posting/editing. Love him and his unique voice.
Imagine him doing a sermon
@@whatdisd I don’t have to, we had one just like this.
@@CathyAutisticCounselling Oh Cathy! Ya poor girl..his voice wd drive me to drink, did he give u any advice on ur insulation tho?
“I knew a woman once, but she died soon afterwards”
I’m here for that line
He grew old and became Uncle Colm on “Derry Girls”.
Really! Cool 😂
No thats Kevin McAleer another irish comedian.
@@nigelmurphy6761 the joke went right over your head
Absolutely phenomenal
Ah now John, stop!
@@BenKeaton OMG I didn't realise this was actually YOUR channel! Haha! Amazing! *Bows*
Boilers, the AA, insulation... God... We all know those people, and this is the most hilarious rendition of them
Oh dear lord. I ought to be offended you're doing a perfect impersonation of my grand uncle, but it's WAY to spot on. Just masterful.
0:19 LOL Brilliant dramatic acting by Frank Kelly.
He was a classical actor too and now famous for a mad hairy horny alcoholic priest 😂😂
What a great, great show!!
"Ah it's yourself" 😂😂
"i had to crash the car just to get the money back"...
I can't say how good he was, this is some of my favourite parts of F. Ted.
I could literally listen to him all day he's unbelievably funny 😅😅😅
I always thought the neverending talking Priest guy was completely beautiful. Even when I was a little kid. I could literally stand and listen to him talk forever. He was just a completely and utterly beautiful guy right in his prime right here.
Very kind.
And his house is in a full circle now
@@BenKeaton Ah 'tis yourself!
It's his voice cracks that do it for me XD
"the house is in a CIRCLE now"
They’re calculated to kill you. True story.
(If you encountered such an individual IRL)
Otherwise….quite funny..
Have watched hundreds of times in 25 years but just lose it every time when Father Jack shouts THANK CHRIST!!!!
Excellent! I'd be quite happy to spend a few hours listening to him!
Best character! Cracks me up every time
To this very day my wife always adds a "and I include Canada in that!" ❤❤❤❤ legend sir ❤❤❤
One of the best parts of the show
"TANK CHRIST" 😂😂😂
'' They have no morals and no respect for human life but what they do have and no one can deny this now they have the finest collection of boilers in the world ''
Must be talking about Russia
"And I include Canada in that"
It's a dig at the British
No way Hose! My favourite expression to use to my friend Jose ;-)
Imagine sending a boiler in an envelope 🤣
A round one? NO WAY HOSE 😂😂😂
Haha! Such a great performance Ben.
Have I just dreamt this, or did I once see a stage version of a Marx Brothers show where you were playing Groucho? The night we went, I was the one who ended up over the shoulder of a reanimated statue.
Yep. We were both there. Good to meet you.
WOW - THAT GUY WAS BRILLIANT
The house is a circle now😂 whats your favourite humming noise🤣
One of my favourite edits in any comedy show - "No round envelopes for me, no way hose--"
The cutaway before he even finishes saying José is just so random, always makes me laugh out loud 😄
So funny 🤣 I have met so many people like this
Very funny episode, Love father Ted & thank you Ben for making me laugh so much pure comedy genius :)
"There was talk of me going to jail for a while" hahahaha
"...ah it's yourself"
Oh how we ridiculed in 1998. Now I turn to him for advice on the cost of living crisis.
I LOVE father Purcell!
They have the finest collection of boilers in the world! And I include Canada in that
I can feel Ted silent agony 😂
I met him at a party once, Nice chap! I didn't have my Autograph Book and Pen with me but I nipped back with them as the party was a couple of houses away from me and he didn't mind me asking him - He was happy to chat about Father Ted etc.
He'd make a good MP ...
"What's your favourite humming noise?" 🤣🤣🤣
That’s a toughie. A fridge or a man is an ultimatum.
Great episode .. very funny
"Ah it's yourself!"
Great episode one of the best imo, i really want to know how they got the car to look like it did after he gently tapped out the dint with the hammer.
Just one of the best shows ever I sat back in me truck loads of nights watching fathervted siping a fue cans of nice cold smithwicks
"i knew a woman once but she died shortly after" brilliant!
Ever hear a woman hum?
@@eoinoconnor5783 indeed what's your favourite humming noise mine is hmmmMmmm... wait that sounds like a fridge. Brilliant
It was never said how this woman he knew died soon after.
@@80sDude990 we can imply lol
@@lordsidious83 it’s one of the mysteries of Father Ted.
An Irish Sheldon Cooper.
I had a guy in my class in school just like this. Everyone called him Instruction Manual.
What a brilliant performance! And am I wrong in thinking the last part of it was improvised? It has that kind of energy. Even more incredible, if that's the case!
He's not boring enough because he doesn't laugh at every dull sentence he says
This man knows his boilers haha I must have watched this 20+times
Brilliant!
Just brilliantly played…….what’s your favourite humming sound?….
Maybe the best episode. TWOOOO TRUCKS!🤣
Finest collection of boilers in the world, and I include Canada in that.
The only time Father Jack is reduced to a jelly
I recently had to get the whole boiler in my house replaced... Ben I WISH the guy was as charismatic and charming as you talking about them... And I wish... Wish his father gave him real advice on lagging.... All the best from Dublin 👍
"We ran the gas off the electricity and the electricity off the gas"🤣
Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣😂
"And it saved £200 a year"
Wow - his facial grimaces were brilliant expressions of reaction to changing music. Radiohead as songs for suicide was great apercu!
Sounds like drunk Chris O'Dowd
Maybe that's what we need to do in these days of increasing prices, run the electricity off the gas, and the gas off the electricity! ;-)
So many brilliant characters in father Ted, Finton Stack and Noel Furlong were so funny 😂
Probably my two favourites right there. Special mention to the fella with no willy that the old ladies love, can't recall his name
@@hamishmunroe9906Eoin McLove in night of the nearly dead and Mrs Doyle baked him a cake with a jumper in it 😂😂
Who’d a thought Noel would end up with his own chat show 😂😂
this comedy was brilliant it was in my opinion the 90s fawlty towers in terms of acting delivery and comedy
Ben, it was great to see you at Comic Con along with Michael and Patrick. 👍 You were all upstaged by Dogpool. 🐾😂
It was a great day, but it was VERY hot! 🌞
I got to meet them there too! They are lovely aren't they?
Pure genius.
No way, Jose!
I've always wanted to visit Ireland, even if it is just to get drunk off the tea.
Legend
According to wikipedia you ended up in East Lindsey, Ben, and honestly I feel like the place magnetized you because of this character. I grew up in Louth and used to meet someone exactly like this every week.
Blimey!
I remember that this was the closest I ever got to asphyxiating with laughter. I loved this character.
200 pounds A YEAR!🤣🤣 Love it
"Thank CHRIST!"
"I knew a woman once, but she died soon afterwards." - Father Purcell
❤️ From the UK
Probably shot herself 😆 🤣 😂
"HELP ME!!!!" LOLOLOLOL
I know a guy like this lol. Hilarious
Padraig Harrington himself
Ben, If you be the culprit himself, not only is this hilarious but it's also highly topical.
Genius acting
