We can think of better ways to pay tribute to one of the best comedies of all time. Drink, feck, (tattoo on the) arse.
You won’t come across many Irish people who don’t have a deep admiration for Father Ted, a show which will rightfully be remembered not just as one of the best Irish comedy shows of all time, but as one of the best comedy shows of all-time full stop.
Normally we are content to pay tribute to the fine, fine work of Graham Linehan, Arthur Matthews and the cast by reciting some of the show’s most famous lines ad nauseum, but four Irish lads went a step further when on holidays in Ibiza recently and got a tattoo of one of those famous lines (‘Ted, you forgot your brick’) … on their arses.
We don’t really know what to say in reaction to such an unconventional tribute but we are sure that one of Ted’s most famous lines certainly does NOT apply in this case…
