Father Ted

[Karl Fletcher]

Probably the greatest sitcom ever made.

 

I certainly can't think of anything that betters it.

 

Ended 15 years ago and still hilarious.

 

Discuss.

[Dynamo]

I like it but for me it's not the 'greatest sitcom ever made'.

[BrianFaePerth]

The "Not A Racist" episode was by far the best one. Don't know if eh would say best ever sitcom, but always worth a gander if it is on tv.

It was good.

Not the best in my opinion though.

Blackadder Goes Forth was around at the same time and was better.

That would be an ecumenical matter

No chance. 'Eurosong' beats any others hands down!

[Huntlysheep]

Only fools & horses i feel was a better sitcom.

[Karl Fletcher]

Look at Dick Byrne there showing off!

 

[Foster14]

Eh, think we are all forgetting Speed 3. Or Kicking Bishop Brennan Up the Arse. Or when they go on holiday to the caravan site.

 

It is my personal favourite. Series 2-4 of Blackadder push it close. I quite like IT Crowd (Graham Lineham involved in that as well). Only Fools had its moments, but wasn't a big fan.

 

With Father Ted though, I could watch an episode, then see it again the next day and still crack up every time.

That is undoubtedly the order:

 

1. Eurosong

2. Speed 3

3. Kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse

 

Always cracks me up when I see the entrants board for a song for Ireland: 'You dirty English Bastards'

[Karl Fletcher]

That was an actual song by an actual Irish band FYI

 

The Hairy Bowsies or something.

 

They had to stop doing Gigs as their following got too hardcore in a Republican sense

[Foster14]

Also, the episode where they get lost in the lingerie section of the department store. Superb.

[rgudon]

Only Fools and Horses, miles better.

[Huntlysheep]

Only Fools and Horses, miles better.

What's your best episode?

[Karl Fletcher]

The one when Del tries to sell some dodgy gear and calls Rodney a plonker.

 

Classic.

 

*I love only fools tbf

[rgudon]

What's your best episode?

 

prob the one where Rodney meets Cassandra.

[Huntlysheep]

prob the one where Rodney meets Cassandra.

My favourite is the one with the sex dolls that blow up.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

What about the all priests over 75s 5 a side football tournament? Or does that count alongside kicking bishop brennan up the arse

 

class

 

Feckin love it

[Pash]

Father Larry Duff is always good for a laugh.

[Pash]

Blackadder the Third is the best, Hugh Laurie as Prince Regent is legendary.

[360]

Only Fools is better.

[sheepiekev]

really?

Aye.

Really.

Problem?

It's only an opinion.

If you don't like it, keep it to yourself....or alternatively, poke it up your smelly hole

Discuss.

 

Definitely in my top ten, I think.

 

Others to consider are, It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia, The Mr Show, and Arrested Development.

 

[Donmacca]

Father ted is one of my favourite sitcoms. Best line has to be in the episode with father finton stack "no he's much worse than Hitler. You wouldn't catch Hitler playing jungle music at 3 in the morning"

[OddJob]

Father Ted is brilliant, but have to agree that Only Fools imo is the best comedy.

 

Hard to pick a favourite episode as so many classics like "Tony Angelo" singing Crying (or cwying ), the classic with Del falling through the bar or Denzil's dead budgie. However i think the best series was the 5th one. If you only watch one series of Only Fools for me that's the one to see

[Sheep#1]

Father Ted is pish.

 

'Only joking!

 

I REALLY LIKE TONY!'

 

Have seen every episode about 10-15 times easily and still switch to it when I see it's on more4. Every episode is genius, hard to pick a favourite but possibly the Christmas special where they aew lost in 'Oirlands biggest lingerie section, I understand' is the best, has it all.

 

Me and my bro love it so much, at one point we were going to go to 'Tedfest'.

 

Also think the Office, Inbetweeners and Peep Show are up there too though, hard to decide for me what order I would rank them.

[daytripping]

Father Ted is funny but as has been said Only Fools beats it, the clip below with Del falling through the bar is the best comedy moment on telly ever! Most blokes can relate to the scenario I reckon.

 

[King Street Loon]

Very funny show, but not the best.

 

Up all night is better.

[ChutneyLove]

If it was that good, why did they stop making them?
