Father Ted/YMMV


 * Artistic License Geography: When Bishop Brennan indicates an island off the coast of Suriname on a globe, he points to somewhere in the centre of the USA.
 * Britcom: As noted on the main page there is a lot of debate over whether it counts as a Britcom or not - the show was a sitcom made for British TV by a British production company but almost everything else about it (writers, actors, setting) is Irish.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: Which should also be a Crowning Music of Funny; "My Lovely Horse".
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Bishop Brennan, who gained legendary status after appearing in a total of three episodes.
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment
 * The flashbacks of Father Jack in his days teaching in a Parochial School during the first series episode 'Grant Unto Him Eternal Rest' definitely qualify as a Funny Aneurysm Moment given the subsequent scandals in Ireland regarding exactly this sort of abuse in Irish Catholic Schools and Orphanages.
 * One of the Bishops dying of a massive heart attack as lead Actor Dermot Morgan would later die from the same thing.
 * Even worse, Ted grabbing his chest in shock when Mrs. Doyle surprises him with a cup of tea when he turns on the light.
 * And the three 'Death' Tarot cards he chooses from the fortune teller's deck in the first episode.
 * Averted in the finale; the writers originally intended the series to end with Ted commiting suicide, but this was replaced with a clip montage when Dermot Morgan died.
 * Memetic Mutation: Loads in Ireland. All the catchphrases have become instantly recognisable, as well as a few other signature lines such as those quoted at the top of the page.
 * The "Lovely Horse" song. Behold, Ellis' Lovely Horse, and Rhythm Heaven's Lovely Horse Duel.
 * "DOWN WITH THIS SORT OF THING!", has been photographed on several other protest signs, as a likely reference.
 * Plus, it's available as a tshirt.
 * Anything Jack says.
 * Mexicans Love Speedy Gonzales: As noted above, it's incredibly popular in Ireland. Yes, it was created by Irish writers, had an Irish cast, and was set in Ireland, but it was still intended for British audiences, making its popularity in Ireland an unintentional (or least secondarily intentional) byproduct.
