AIBU to find repeated Sue Sue Sue comments on Ann Droid boring now

[HelloDenise]

In every discussion about the TV comedy Ann Droid there are numerous posters writing "Sue Sue Sue".

We've just had episode 4 and it's not been said since the very beginning of the second episode and doesn't feature anymore yet everyone is writing it on posts. AIBU to find it boring now? The show has moved on and it's funny enough.

I loved it. Sweet, poignant. Obviously you wanted to slap the son but I think thats the point.

I'd give it a go. The adverts really undersell the programme - it is much funnier than they suggest. I wouldn't have watched based on the ads alone but two episodes in and I loved it. (Am now in my third rewatch of the whole series and SueSueSue makes me smile.)

I tried watching it but couldn’t get through episode 1. I thought it was really bad, especially the bloke from Motherland. Does it get better? I might give it another go.

I would not have watched it based on the trailers but DH watched the first two episodes and recommended it so we watched it all and loved it - he's very picky so it was unusual he liked it.
And Sue Sue Sue is funny, it just is. Doesn't matter she only says it a few times, I've had to sit through people saying "pivot!" for years and that's only in one episode of Friends

Very enjoyable.

Spoiler alert!

Is Michael going to fall in love with the "intercourse" doll?

It stopped after the first episode. That's why I don't get why people go on and on about it.

Everyday I am astounded by the amount of wazzocks on mumsnet

It's funny and poignant. I loved it and hope they make more.

The first episode was just scene setting. We persevered, there were many bittersweet and heart warming moments as the relationships developed. Sue reflects on the loss of her husband, her son is useless, Linda is not. There were some scenes where we just laughed and laughed. It was good to watch something different for a change.

She’ll love this. You’ll definitely be the first person to say it to her 😜

I’ve not seen a single person saying ‘SueSueSue’. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyway, we really loved Ann Droid.

I still think “Neil Neil orange peel” and The Young Ones was in the 80s 🤣

Poldark woman needs to go to spec savers 😮🤣

Yes @Emmasblackboard, same here!

And I can’t hear the name ‘Dan’ without wanting to shout it repeatedly à la Alan Partridge.

It’s one of the few comedy shows my 11 year old son likes. Nice to have something to watch with him, but it does say something about the level of writing there.

I loved it! Some poignant moments and also some real laugh out loud moments too. I didn't see any ads but it was my sister who watched it and then recommended it. Afterwards I went on to binge watch Motherland as I'd never been interested in that and loved that too. Agree that Michael wad annoying but Paul Ready is so likeable in Motherland as Kevin.

It’s just a catchphrase. There are dozens of phrases from shows that were only said in one episode but people find funny and that have entered their everyday vocabulary. I can reel off about half a dozen right now (mainly from Gavin and Stacey and Father Ted). In fact this morning my DH said something about UHT milk we had in the cupboard and I was compelled to say ‘But there’s no demand for UHT. Because it’s shite.’

So you didn't actually "watch" it then.

I gave up trying to enjoy it after 2 episodes so I don't feel qualified to comment.

The adverts for it were not a true reflection of the show. I also wasn’t going to watch it after seeing the trailer but it turned out to be brilliant so I glad I gave it a chance!

I didn't expect to like it, I thought I'd watch one episode on Iplayer. I ended up watching the whole series. It's rather sweet and laugh out loud funny.

There's a thread on Telly addicts.

The son and his girlfriend are not needed in this.

I really wanted to like it as I like Sue Johnston but I thought it was awful. To be fair I can’t stand sitcoms so I don’t know why I thought it would be any different!

I think Diane Morgan is one of those marmite actors/comedians that you either love her and find her incredibly funny, or can't stand her. I am in the latter camp, I don't find her philomena character funny at all, she did "who do you think you are" last year and was not entertaining on that at all.

Sue Johnston however is a national treasure.

No idea why you'd start an AIBU thread on a few comments made on the telly forum. As I posted in the telly forum: I found Ann Droid very good and funny but the trailer I saw didn't do it justice.

I disagree. I thought it looked unfunny in the adverts and watching one episode confirmed this !
