The Father Ted meme stems from the legendary 1990s sitcom following three priests on the fictional Craggy Island. Most famously, the 'Down with this sort of thing' and 'Careful now' protest signs from the episode 'The Passion of Saint Tibulus' became an internet staple for expressing mild or ironic outrage. Other popular formats include Father Ted explaining perspective using toy cows and Father Jack's iconic shouting. These memes capture the surreal, satirical humor of the show, remaining a cornerstone of Irish and British internet culture decades after it first aired.
