Only Fools and Horses because it's just the best program in the history of television.

Father Ted, having watched plenty of both, father Ted is the only one to have me in stitches, although only fools is good and makes me smile.

Feck,drink,women.
Father Ted actually stands the test of time.
Only Fools actually looks very 1980's...though it was funny at the time.

Father Ted.
Sadly, Only Fools got flogged like a dead horse* by the BBC in the end, and as such lost some of it's lustre for me.
* No pun intended

Father Ted: Ah, Sister Assumpta!
Sister Assumpta: Hello Father!
Father Ted: Dougal, Dougal, do you remember Sister Assumpta?
Father Dougal: Er, no.
Father Ted: She was here last year! And then we stayed with her in the convent, back in Kildare. Do you remember it? Ah, you do! And then you were hit by the car when you went down to the shops for the paper. You must remember all that? And then you won a hundred pounds with your lottery card? Ah, you must remember it, Dougal!
[Dougal shakes his head]
Sister Assumpta: And weren't you accidentally arrested for shoplifting? I remember we had to go down to the police station to get you!... And the police station went on fire? And you had to be rescued by helicopter?
Father Ted: Do you remember? You can't remember any of that? The helicopter! When you fell out of the helicopter! Over the zoo! Do you remember the tigers?
[Dougal shakes his head some more]
Father Ted: You don't remember? You were wearing your blue jumper.
Father Dougal: Ah, Sister Assumpta!

Godfather- was going to quote the same bit- great shout  'The Passion of St Tibulus ' my fave ever Both great but Ted wins easily Pat Mustard: I'm a very careful man, Father. Ted: Except when it comes to taking precautions in the bedroom! Pat: You're not advocating the use of artificial contraception now, are you? Ted: Well, ye......well, no...well, naturally.....well, not really....well, of course you'd............JUST FECK OFF! Father Damo was brilliant as well |

Father Ted by a feckin mile for me Never really thought Fools was actually funny to be honest The '2 part episode' of 'Escape from Victory' then 'Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse' have got to be the funniest episodes  |

Both brilliant comedies though neither is as good as Frasier! But for me father Ted shades a tight race.

I don't really understand - beyond the fact that n01stokie asked the question - why the 2 are being, or can be compared since Only Fools & Horses is a standard sitcom format, whilst Father Ted is far more surreal.
Fairer comparisons, I think, would be, for example:-
Only Fools & Horses or Vicar of Dibley.
Father Ted or Black Books.

- Father Ted won 
. Only Fools for me, miles better.
