To think 'Mrs Brown's boys' is a pile of wank?

[Krumbum]

People rave about it but it really is hack, unfunny, shit imo.

YANBU. Dreadful show that's painfully embarrassingly bad to watch! How it could ever be compared to Father Ted is beyond me. Completely different humour altogether.

God I love Fr Ted.

It is not similar to Father Ted in the sense that Dermot Morgan tragically died, but Brendan O'Carroll is tragically still with us.

Realise that sounds like an elderly parishoner confessing to God her lust for her parish priest

anyone who likes it goes straight on my shit list. Beyond awful, stereotypical, embarassing trash.

Linerunner harsh but fair

YANBU. My folks always rave about it and made me watch it when I stayed. I managed 2 hours out of politeness.

AIBU to say its a chavvy programme?

Keith Lemons stuff is Chav too...

Have only watched a bit and really didn't get it. It reminded me of the sitcom in Extras.

MrMiyagi, I haven't even had a drink yet.

Yes you are being unreasonable cocky. What do you mean by chavvy? Someone not as good as you?

YANBU.

yes yabu cockypants im far from chav (what defines who is btw!!!) but i think its fecking hilarious! are you a snob? is that why you think its chav?

YANBU, it is awful.

Mardybra! Your right. It's just like that!
Mrs browns boys is nothing like father ted expect for they are both Irish programmes, being from the same country does not make them similar

I do not understand Keith Lemon at all.

Unfunny, tasteless, lack of any wit, intelligence or warmth.

I've only seen a couple of episodes which may not be representative of them all but I found myself actually enjoying it and its not the sort of programme I would usually choose to watch.

I didn't see any similarities to Fr Ted although one of the ones I've seen was about a priest who was losing his faith - do all the episodes involve the church?

its not from the same country, its filmed in Scotland and produced by bbc scotland.
Youse can own the horror of it.

It's horrendous, puerile SHIT.
I watched ten minutes of it, just wondering what the FUCK people were laughing at?!?

It is a load if shite. Almost like someone found a script from the 1970's and thought they may aswell commission it as they had nothing else on.

I wish I could say it wasn't Irish but sadly it is, it's written by and stars Brendan O'Carroll as well as his entire family (!).

It was reshot by BBC Scotland when being brought to the UK.

we had a whole keith lemon thread I just dont 'get' the joke

, anyway Mrs browns boys was on in the background the other night and I didnt laugh I guess folk just have different senses of humour loads of people love it
