You should watch the whole episode. No matter what Ted does, he manages to dig himself deeper and deeper. In fact, watch the whole series - there isn't a single weak episode.

As an irish Catholic living in rural donegal in Ireland this show just a special place in me childhood 😂🥰

There's another scene where Father Ted is standing at the window smiling to whoever's outside, with his arm raised, and there's a smudge on the window that looks like Hitler's moustache right on his face. Killingly funny.

Why does everyone from the U.S. have to analyse or look for a secret meaning in straight forward comedy.  The comedy is set on a small isolated island off the coast of Ireland, hence, being told there is a China Town on the island is ridiculous to the English / Irish audience this comedy initially served.  It also emphasised the parochial and backward nature of these communities, with there old fashioned attitudes and knowledge of all their neighbour's business.  You need to see more Father Ted, which is about 3 priests living together, Dougal; the young simpleton priest, Ted; the middle aged priest and main character who really wants to be wealthy womanising egotist and Jack;  the old foul mouthed drunken priest.

"I think he's only going to make it worse...".     Oh... you have NO idea. Well worth watching the full episode.

father ted was one of the funniest tv show ever seen in the U.K... i used to ache through laughing.

Laughing at racism takes away its power and exposes the ignorant and bigoted,  being offended does the opposite.

"I hear you're a racist now Father" is a quote that has lived rent free in my memory for over 25 years. I just say it randomly sometimes to this date. Father Ted was a show I watched religiously. No pun intended. Grew up watching it, not really getting the jokes, and still watch it now, knowing all the jokes. Loved it then, love it now.

Father Ted WAS a TV Show/sitcom ( made in Ireland) , it ran for 3 seasons

Nothing better than Father Ted 🤣

this episode needs to be watched right through, its hilarious

Chinatown area on craggy island,bearing in mind craggy island is about the size of a football field.

Anything by the writer, Graham Linehan, is well worth watching, Father Ted, Black Books, The IT Crowd.

Need to watch it all . 20 mins 25 max.  Worth it . Then " these are small , but the ones out there , are FAR AWAY ' 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The explanation he gives to the Chinese family is amazing 😂 you need to watch it all

Grew up watching Father Ted, it's the Irish sense of humor in a nutshell lol totally takes the piss 😂😂

The series is about three Irish Catholic priests living in a  house  on a tiny island and all are totally socially inept, which leads to a lot of hilarious confusion. In small remote small minded communities like the onerepresented here word spreads amazingly fast.

Man Father Ted was such a good comedy back in the day. If there is one part of the show you should definitely watch it's when all the priests are stuck in the lingerie section of a shopping mall it's hilarious.

Omg father Ted was a life saver on a Friday night when I was 15. Had to be in by 9pm so this was my cheer up

"You'll just make it worse."

You need to see the rest of the episode.
