Eoin McLove is based on an Irish singer from rural Donegal named Daniel O'Donnell. His style is a soft, twee form of 'adult contemporary' and he's known for his interaction with his fanbase - which is mostly old ladies!

He said " Go away you big pile of dirty old biddies" A biddie is an old person.

Please consider watching IT crowd after you finish Father Ted! As the same guy created both shows 😊 you both will love reacting to it!

The actor who played Eoin has people shouting "I have no willy" at him in the street to this day

The kings reaction to the old lady transmitting the news across the island was historically funny 😂my sides hurt 😂😅

This Eoin McLove character, at least the nice version, is based on an Irish singer named Daniel O’Donnell who specialised in music for adoring older ladies. He travelled around the UK, selling out venues stuffed full of grannies who worshiped him. He even sold out cruise ships as well, a real blue rinse boat. This episode is very much a piss take on him.

I love the creepy floating woman Mrs Doyle meets at the shop and the ensuing "messaging montage" lol. Just so weird but funny.

Can I just say as a UK Brit from Irish heritage I love watching you guys enjoying Father Ted , I saw it first in the 1990's on British TV and I still think it's one of my favourite comedy shows of all time, In the 1990's -2010 we had some amazing comedy in the UK , shows that wouldn't even get made today because " reasons" Please also look at "Harry Enfield" , "The Fast Show" " Little Britain" " Catherine Tate" and " Men behaving badly" You won't be dissapointed ❤

Been waiting for you to get to this one, I know there's not much Father Ted left, but if you want something similar (also a lot of absurdist humour, randomness, insane characters) I'd really recommend Black Books, another Channel 4 comedy, from the early 2000s. The writer of Father Ted was a contributing writer to it and it stars Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and Tamsin Gregg.

To this day the poor actor who played Eoin mclove can’t walk down any road in Ireland Scotland England or Wales without someone shouting “iv no Willy “

And suddenly Pat Mustard is forgotten 🤣 including his massive tool....

I love the way the episode was written. Earlier, Ted smirks saying "huh women" while Dougal says "where?!" and looks around with fear. Another one, Dougal says "its like a tide of jam coming towards us, but jam made of old women" and later we see Dougal tempting to eat jam. They're like little easter eggs that go unnoticed in the episode. Anyways, I love seeing you guys reacting to Father Ted and you guys love it. I laughed more watching you guys laughing hard at it. Makes me appreciate it more.

This is tied with kicking bishop brenan up the arse for my favorite ephisode. Eoin McLoves character, expressions and delivery are just perfect, and I love the dynamic between him and Dougle.

That opening shot with the tv absolutely kills me every time 😂

The IT crowd, is from the same writers and takes the craziness to higher levels.

The Thin Blue Line is another good watch.😂

"I'm off to saving land!"Quality line you, the best one liner I have heard in ages Mate.😂 Eion said "Go away you dirty pile of old Biddy's, it's a slang term for old women.

Note: it's "Eoin" (pronounced like "Owen"), not "Ian"

19:34 He actually said _'...you pile of dirty old biddy's'._ _Old Biddy_ is a derogatory term for an elderly person in the UK (and I'm guessing also in Ireland!). I mean, _piggy's_ would've been just as bad! But it's not a derogatory term to specifically describe elderly people.

Oh, God…this penultimate episode of Father Ted…The Night of the Nearly Dead is yet another unforgettable highlight of Series 3. The Series finale of Father Ted…all I say is get ready to laugh one last time. Then cry.

I've no willy! Eoin is pronounced Owen. Great reaction guys, it's sad to see the Father Ted reactions coming to an end.

Patsy is played by Maria Doyle Kennedy who found fame after this as Catherine of aragon in "the tudors" she was also in "orphan Black" "outlander" "downton abbey" "the conjouring 2" and prior to this was in the cult classic "the commitments"

9:03 and 9:20 You sound like Jim Carrey imitating Mrs Doyle! 😂

At the start Eoin is singing ‘My Lovely Mayo Mammy’. Mayo is a county on the western coast of Ireland. Where I’m from 😊😊

'Father Ted' repeats seem to have been broadcast on some channel or other in Britain or Ireland almost without a break since they first appeared. My enjoyment has been heightened by your reactions and by the chat between the two of you. Your next assignment - 'The IT Crowd'. Or 'Black Books'. Or 'Green Wing' (60 minute episodes). Or all three!

Hilarious. 😂👍 After you finish Father Ted, I'd recommend considering beginning your Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan) journey with the UK series *Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge* (1994). It's amongst the absolute best of UK comedy, can guarantee laughs like Peep Show, Inbetweeners and Ireland's Father Ted. 6:00 The singer is a parody of a very popular (in certain circles) Irish singer called Daniel O'Donnell, who has a super squeaky clean-cut image. From Wikipedia : His Image- O'Donnell is arguably better known for his gentle, soft-spoken personality and clean-cut image, than for his music. Over the years he has attracted vast media attention and there have been many cultural references to the performer. O'Donnell is frequently satirised in Irish and British comedy because of a common supposition that his audience consists mainly of older women.[30] He was parodied as celebrity singer "Eoin McLove" in the Father Ted episode "Night of the Nearly Dead", as well as an episode of BBC sketch-show Chewin' the Fat, as an Irish singer named "Donald O'Daniel". The comedy show Bull Island and the radio sketch segment "Gift Grub" portrayed him in sketches frequently singing about his "mammy".[31] DJ Chris Moyles has parodied O'Donnell on numerous occasions.[32] O'Donnell is known for his close relationship with his fans and has a meet-and-greet session after almost every concert. He used to host a massive tea party for his fans outside his Donegal home every year.[1] He has expressed a wish to appear in Coronation Street. 24:10 An old sea-dog accent.

I might have to make rewatching your reactions to Father Ted an annual tradition once you've finished the final episode.

Mate, your reaction "omg I'm gonna shit my pants" is probably the funniest I've seen in a while! I love that you 'get' the Fr Ted Irish humour! Keep laughing and enjoying yourself pal! ... Greetings from Ireland

Have enjoyed watching you watch these! Now you've got to do the IT Crowd. Same writer*, it's the natural successor to Father Ted and is just as funny and random to be honest. You'll love it! 😂

Along with other shows by the same writer (The IT Crowd, Black Books), I also strongly recommend you try Keeping Up Appearances and Only Fools & Horses. Keeping Up Appearances is quite a calming, gentle kind of show, with more subtle comedy, but once you get to know the characters, it's such a good show. :-) And Only Fools & Horses - that's pretty much the King of British comedy - it's both hilarious and emotional at times (more so emotional in the later seasons), and there's so many episodes, you'll have a lot to enjoy. :-)

Go away. I dont want t catch the menapause!😂

Last episode always makes me sad knowing Dermot Morgan died only a day after they finished filming.

I've loved following your Father Ted reactions! I'd recommend the IT Crowd too, actually written by the same person!

Eoin Mclove was actually based on Irish singer Daniel O’donnell.

I love KB's scepticism about the lighthouse.

I take it you've never even heard of "Night of the living dead" from 1968. Edgar Wright was inspired by that film and referenced it in "Shaun of the dead" when Nick Frost's character shouts "We're coming to get you Barbara" down the phone to Shaun's mum, despite the writer of Night of the living dead not noticing the reference at the premiere.

When Boomer paused and said “yo, he’s an asshole” I dunno why that set me off laughing so hard 😂😂😂

Make the last one a memorial for Fr Ted By dressing up as Father Jack Boomer :) "Going to America" is the series finale of the Channel 4 sitcom Father Ted. It is the eighth episode of the third series, and the 25th episode overall. Dermot Morgan, who played the show's title character, died the day after filming was completed".

I have so enjoyed watching you guys experience Father Ted for the first time. This episode is my personal favourite and watching your reaction rather than just rewatching it myself adds a new dimension. Whilst this is my favourite episode, my favourite priest is Father Liam Finnegan the Dancing Priest from the season 2 episode Think Fast, Father Ted. Can't wait to see your reaction to the final episode, and I'm sure it will leave a small void where more Father Ted should be

This is one of my favourite episodes. Our family quote it all the time! So great to see you enjoy it so much, too. 😂

At 27:58, almost the exact same dialogue happened in Return of the King where Aragorn says they need to distract Sauron from Frodo, and Legolas yells out "A diversion!".

This is one of my favourite episodes of Father Ted.

I think the whole point of Eoin McLove’s character is that it plays on the fact that celebrities aren’t always who they seem to be in real life e.g British “comedian” James Corden apparently is a horrible person offscreen.

You had me from. "IM GOING TO SHIT MY PANTS!"

As an old man trapped in a lighthouse, I find your laughter very offensive. 😁

You should watch Faulty Towers next, Boomer. Amazing sitcom with John Cleese!

A "sucker for weird stuff"? You need The Mighty Boosh. There's no unseeing The Boosh.

There was an old British singer/entertainer called Des O'Connor who'd been gigging since the fifties. Once, he shared the bill and a dressing room with Buddy Holly. One night a brick came flying through the window with a note tied to it. The note said, 'We think you're great, can we have your autograph?' Des later said, 'I think the note was for him and the brick was for me!' Re, your missus. Is she sure she hasn't seen the lighthouse based 'Doctor Who', 'The Horror of Fang Rock'?

Frank Kelly (Fr. Jack) released an incredible Xmas single called Christmas Countdown; I’d imagine you’d love that.

Since you are nearing the end, you might want to watch IT Crowd, it's the same writers as Father Ted

These videos help me laugh so hard , i finish up the mundane job im in that stresses me to bits ,watch yer videos and then i can get on with rest of my day , thanks boomers, from the green lands of ireland 😊

You guys crack me up something terrible! In tears at your reaction to this one 🤣 love it!!

Great video 😂 one of my favourite episodes

19:22 ''Go away you big pile of dirty old biddies.'' An old biddy is a derogatory term for an old woman.

Love this episode

It’s sad that father Ted has come to an end but all things have to end

I always thought it was funny Ted was reading a William Shatner sci-fi novel

That recent film with Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson set in a lighthouse is really good. It’s off the coast of Newfoundland so the accents are a tad Irish. Proper horror film though.

Great accent mate ..you nailed a semi Scottish/part Cornish lighthouse keeper....too funny

john Paul II was called Karol. The insult McLove aimed at the old ladies was biddies not piggies as biddies is often used to describe old women. Sadly too few episodes of Father Ted due to Dermot's untimely death

Your reactions...absolute class 🤣

Wanna see the El dude brothers

🤯 OMG YES! I completely forgot 🤦🤦 some more British slang terminology for the Boomers - "Old Biddies" "Old Codgers" "Old Farts" "Old Gimmer" "Old Geri" {pronounced Jerry - as in Geriatric"... Slang is the heart of the lingo.

"Biddies" not "piggies"

My most favourite episode 😂😂😂😂 " He smells of wee" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

My favorite episode. So funny.

Watch “The I.T. Crowd” next….same writer, just as brilliant

Why don't you do a compilation of your best reactions of all the episodes. They've had me laughing my head off at times, especially the old man on the boat on the Xmas special.

Electric kettles automatically switch off after reaching boiling. A useful aid to removing bacteria from water, tea is normally made with boiling water. Peppermint tea loosens the bowels for comfortable stool passage, may help Callie during pregnancy, much love ✌️♥️🇬🇧

The whackier the last season of Father Ted gets, the funnier the reaction from King & Queen Boomer. Well done guys looking forward to the last episode, cheers..

KB your accent was half pirate half old villager from 18th century Cornwall in England 😅 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Daniel o donnell and eoin maclove are the same. I love these watching this . I bet he laughed hard at " i dont have no willy 😂😂😂

I'm in the kitchen watching this peeling potatoes for chips afte r a bottle of wine and I nearly wet myself laughing when Dougal was reading Ted's book over his shoulder, than when the other house keeper slid over I peed myself 💙

Enjoyed watching your reaction. I think Queen Boomer was trying to think of a lighthouse keeper.

Gimme Gimme Gimme is a great substitute for post father ted, please guys watch it, you will be in stitches

I have watched all the episodes (many times), and they are still funny. ✌️

She is like the newspaper news travels fast cross my heart i wont tell anyone 😂

"Oh no I'm going to shit my pants." Things famous people say on the internet for all time.

Me again, this is that best reaction ever. I don't think I laughed this much when it was originally broadcast even though I know I laughed alot 😂

One of only two USA reaction shows I love. Thanks guys from a Brit. 👍

One of my favourite episodes💯 along with The Mainland episode.

I think this is the only episode of Father Ted I’ve never seen before, and I watched it all through the 90s 😮

"Going to America" is a great episode. Watch next!

That bit with the old biddy rumour network is an old movie meme. Some wartime thing with spies and stuff.

24:10 Was it a man from somewhere in the South West with an Irish Father, a Scottish Mother, two Welsh Grandparents, a Norfolk Grandparent and another from Portsmouth? If it was... Pretty darnn good!👍

Mrs Doyle is saying "they are coming to craggy island" over and over quickly.

What’s is powering the ultra slow ceiling fan?! 😂

to answer your "what is this episode" question, many of the scenes are parodies/homage to universal/hammer/independent horror movies from the 30s through the 60s, a big one being of course night of the living dead.

Cheers Boomer I've been getting withdrawal symptoms.

Have you seen video of that Florida politician, De Santis, talking informally to regular people? He’s just like Eoin McLove.

Eoin McLove is his name

Lol @ 9:20 - King B's mimicry and Queen B's laughing.

Old Biddys. Old ladies, often spinsters.

That lighthouse story made my day, I'd go see it as well! Florida Man in a lighthouse.

Just gonna leave this here for the umpteenth time. The IT Crowd. The IT Crowd. The IT Crowd. The IT Crowd. The IT Crowd. The IT Crowd. The IT Crowd. The IT Crowd.

Peep show and Benidorm are the best as a Brit 👍

I know that you've got a few new comedy shows in the pipeline to react to but I'd like to add Lead Balloon to the mix, a great show starring Jack Dee.

@12:58 - King and Queen B's laughing is absolutely hilarious.

Looks like you got the muppets on embrace the suck into father Ted. 👍

Theres a documentary you need to check out too about the show too
