"Kicking Bishop Brennan up the Arse" is the sixth episode of the third series of the British–Irish sitcom Father Ted, and the 23rd episode overall. It originally aired on Channel 4 on 17 April 1998; its story continues from the previous episode, "Escape from Victory". In the episode, the main character Father Ted Crilly must kick his strict and overbearing superior Bishop Brennan in the buttocks ("up the arse") as a forfeit set by Father Dick Byrne for cheating at a football match.
The writers of Father Ted, Graham Linehan and Arthur Matthews, named "Kicking Bishop Brennan up the Arse" as their favourite episode in a documentary aired during Channel 4's Father Ted Night; "Speed 3" was chosen by a vote on the Channel 4 website.
