PIC: Father Ted fans would sell their granny to get their hands on this amazing t-shirt

Conor Heneghan

Want.

Nearly 20 years after it ended, Father Ted remains a massive part of popular culture in Ireland, with fans of the show regularly recalling famous scenes conversation to this day.

One of the most famous scenes in the show’s history that isn’t so easy to recite is Mrs. Doyle’s attempts to name the impostor in the Craggy Island parochial house who pretends to be a former classmate of Ted’s in St’ Colm’s.

Mrs. Doyle goes through dozens of names before finally landing on the fictitious name of the impostor – Father Todd Unctious, of course – but show us a regular Joe who can name all of those priests off the top of their head and we’ll buy them a pint.

Why go to the trouble of memorising them all, however, when you can buy a t-shirt with all of their names on it, a t-shirt that Dave Moore of Today FM posted on Twitter after it was sent to him by Siobhán Shine last night.

Dave’s reaction accurately reflects our own and it even got a retweet from Father Ted creator Graham Linehan too.

We’re not sure exactly where one could get one’s hands on one of these babies (please do let us know) but it would certainly make for the perfect Valentine’s gift for the Father Ted fan in your life.

Cheers to Liam Conlon and Brian Rusk for sending this our way. If you have something you would like to share with us, send it to our WhatsApp number 087-4001102, editorial@JOE.ie or hit us up on Facebook or Twitter.
