The annual Ted Fest will take place from the 21st to the 24th of February on Inis Mór and with this in mind, we have put together a list of our favourite Father Ted moments, which proved an almost impossible task. No other programme reflected Irish life like Ted and it's hard to imagine any series ever will again..._____________________1. Doesn’t Mary Have A Lovely Bottom
Haven't we all been to one of these competitions at some stage?
2. These are Small but Those are Far Away
An explanation used for most inexplicable events nowadays...
3. My Lovely Horse
The runner-up song for the National Anthem competition. Don't we all know every word?
4. Down with this sort of thing
Careful now!
5. It’s a Different Shark!
Anyone for a game of charades?
6. That would be an Ecumenical Matter!
Somebody asks you about the Catholic Church abroad, this is invariably your reply...
7. On... Off... On... Off...
Don't lie, we all know you have stood in front of the Christmas tree every year shouting this one!
8. Prayer isn’t the only way to praise God you know...
Who doesn't know this dance? That's right. No-one.
9. I Love My Brick
There was a pet brick in every household in Ireland for a month after this episode...
10. Kicking Bishop Brennan up the Arse
Because let's face it, everyone has someone they want to kick up the arse...
11. Jacob’s Creek Chardonnay 1991
As a nation, we're not really big on the wine knowledge. But we all know a Jacob's Creek Chardonnay 1991
12. Nuns! Nuns! Reverse! Reverse!
Life is a constant struggle to not scream this at a group of nuns...
13. I had my fun....
Five minutes on Father Ted made Brendan Grace more famous than years on the comedy stage.
14. You’ve a lovely voice, very like Celine Dion...
Another of the Irish comedian discoveries, Graham Norton's career took off after his appearance in the series. Riverdance!
15. That Radiohead clip.
The Radiohead scene basically exists so that all mothers of Radiohead fans across the country could finally say: "Now! I told you!"
16. An Honourable Mention
This tribute to the one and only Jack Charlton on Kenny Live is absolute gold.
