“You’ve a face like a pair of tits!”
It’s a testament to the writing of Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews that 23 years since it premiered, couples everywhere still identify with Craggy Island’s angriest people, John and Mary O’Leary.
In the very first episode, Good Luck, Father Ted, we’re treated to the iconic line “Get them fecking Crunchies out of the car!”
Ok, we’re fairly certain that you’ve never locked your partner in a closet, stabbed them in the head, tried to drown them, or called them a “fat auld bitch”, but as Father Dougal once said, “they’re a lovely couple though, aren’t they?”
To be honest, they’re the definition of relationship goals. You know, if your relationship is incredibly messed up!
Hat Trick has now released a compilation of Craggy Island’s favourite homicidal couple. Truth be told, it’s all great but you have to love Mary’s delivery of the line: “Don’t talk to me like that you big pile of shite!”
Gold, absolute gold.
