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

[Krumbum]

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

shh, squoosh, don't be telling them that, export the problem!

God I love Fr Ted.

Father ted was voted ch4s all time greatest comedy it is just genuis

It was a stage show for years it always seemed to be on at the Kings theatre I thought It was scottish

Mrs brown not father ted

It is but it reminds me of Father Ted. I have only watched one and laughed my socks off!

I love Father Ted, what with it actually being funny.

Mrs Brown is fecking hilarious.

Keith Lemon is a twunt- I only just twigged he is a character like Alan Partridge, bloody awful & what's with the tatty bandage on his right hand?

I think the over irishness is the joke tbh and I have been known to say you fecking eejit

Mrs Brown is absolute steaming shit.

I was dragged taken to the stage show years ago and sat bewildered and cringing while hundreds of people around me roared with laughter.

It's just a vehicle for Brendan thingy to be a misogynist arsehole, and for him to try to get the other actors to corpse as much as possible. It would have looked old-fashioned ten years ago.

Absolute gash. I find it painfully embarrassing and have to leave to room if it's on. My parents rave about it and i am told i have no sense of humour. Very old fashioned imo. Nothing like Father Ted which they can't see any laughs in.

I really don't get it, but then I don't get My Family and that went on for years.

I am Irish and find it completely embarrassing. There are plenty of weirdos Irish people who find it funy though. I suppose even the likes of Jim Davidson has fans fuck knows why.

I suppose even the likes of Jim Davidson has fans

you are right humour is only what we find funny i spose but i cant get my head round roy chubby brown he is coming to a venue near me and apparently it is sold out

old-fashioned is right. Its like one of those old 70's shows you sometimes see on cable channels and wonder how anyone ever thought they were funny.
If you like to laugh at "comedy" that takes the piss out of senile old men, makes jokes about limp-wristed gay stereotypes, and is predicated on a man dressed up as an auld woman, you'll be in heaven.
It won a fucking bafta this year. It really is the death of comedy.

It's not the death of comedy, please don't think that. Watching the C4's best of the last 30 years made me see how good comedy still is.

Kind of like Are You Being Served meets Benny Hill, but SMUG.

I think Worra gets the point of it.

It's truly awful. My 74 year old Northern Irish mother and her friends think it is hilarious. There's your demographic right there.

YABU.

You obviously never met my mother. It's like she's alive all over again.

YANBU op I have tried to like it but find it utter shite!

I love it, it actually makes me laugh out loud. I'm in Northern Ireland too, but not a pensioner yet.

YANBU.

I hate Keith Lemon, and I hated Little Britain. But I DO like Mrs Browns Boys. And no I am not a chav, nor do I give a shoite if I am on anyone's "shit list" either. :)

And "deep breath", Father Ted , I could take or leave. It was funny sometimes, but quite often it just got silly, especially Father Bloody Jack and Mrs Doyle-there I've said it "breathes out"

I saw it late one night and honestly thought it was some old 1980's Irish sitcom that was screamingly unfunny and tired.

Then I read it had recently won a Bafta and wondered if I had fallen into some hideous parallel universe.

It's awful. It has no wit, charm, edge, warmth or anything positive except a bunch of tired old tv tropes that were thankfully dead and buried years ago.

Mind you, I'm firmly over there with the LoG camp, so it was possibly never going to appeal to me

And what's even worse than this programme being hugely popular and winning BAFTA's etc. is that's its 'star' and creator Brendan O'Carroll is a wanker of the very highest order.

He teaches other wankers how to wank.
