If you voted for Mrs Brown's Boys, tell us why

[ForalltheSaints]

Do you have a hatred for Phoebe Waller-Bridge because of her originality or some other reason?
Did you do it as a joke or to wind up someone?
Did you hope it would end the National Television Awards?

Please confess why.

?

Ugh, don't tell me that tripe has won some sort of Award.

Because they are deeply stupid with a very poorly developed sense of humour?

Isn't this the 4th time its won it?

I agree its terrible but it's obviously incredibly popular.

I haven't watched it for years but used to love it in the early days. I have Irish blood and 'get' the humour but can't be bothered anymore.

Probably the same reason the Sun used to the most popular newspaper. Not sure if it still is.

Ugh hate Mrs Brown's Boys.
However I can't stand Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Doubt she gives a shit anyway. Her hands are too full of golden globes and the like to give a shit about an NTA

I didn’t even know Mrs Browns boys was still going tbh, it’s bloody awful.

You just need to see who their 'partners' are and where NTA voting gets advertised.
The Sun
ITV
Heat Magazine
OK magazine

I presume programmes like This Morning and Loose women bang on about it too. It's a certain demographic who vote.

I have Irish blood and 'get' the humour

I'm Irish, live in Ireland and think it's tripe. Most people I know over the age of about 16 agree.

I have Irish blood too and I can confirm there is absolutely NO HUMOUR to get in this programme.

Just proves once again, never trust the public to vote for something.

I’m not a fan but just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it bad, it’s just different to what you like. It’s pure snobbery on mumsnet

Well I think it's rubbish but it would be a odd world if we all liked the same things.

It’s pure snobbery on mumsnet

Agreed. Just because you state something isn't funny doesn't make it fact. There's loads of comedians I simply can't watch and can't understand why they're hugely popular.

As an aside, the books (published before the TV show came out) really are brilliant

It's pretty obvious that the demographic of people who vote for tv awards shows isn't going to have much overlap with the viewers of teabag.

I haven't seen it so can't comment on which is better but it doesn't surprise me that MBB would win an audience vote.

The man who plays her is very nice and they seem to enjoy making it and writing it.
I don't like it but then I know plenty of people who dislike things I find funny ( the office, Alan partridge , Porridge , car share etc )
I was surprised it won but proves it's still popular and been going for a while now!

Teabag

Can't stand PWB. Absolutely can't stand the woman or her show or attempt at humour. I find her horrendous, full of arrogant indifference and conceited. I find her doing the opposite to what she actually strives to achieve for feminism . I'm not a fan of Mrs browns boys enough to vote but can't say I'm sorry they won over PWB.

The books are however brilliant, posted too soon.

“Do you have a hatred for Phoebe Waller-Bridge because of her originality or some other reason?”

Or maybe not, you know, find her work particularly funny?
Have you nowt better to twine about

The autocorrects on here are brilliant

I couldn’t believe it won either. Mind you, several of the award winners just seemed to be a repeat of last year’s result. I voted for After Life.

I find MBB quite funny tbh! In a slapstick, carry on way.
My dad loves it, and went to see it live at the o2.
I've also seen fleabag, I didn't think it was anything that special! Each to their own and all that.
Theres no need to make a thread on mumsnet making out you're somehow superior because you have a different sense of humour

It's pretty obvious that the demographic of people who vote for tv awards shows isn't going to have much overlap with the viewers of teabag

I don't find it obvious at all. What I do find obvious is the cloud of smug emanating from your post. Makes you sound like a bit of a twat

Utter horse shit.

I found it hard to understand when MBB won but then y'know different strokes.....etc
