Of course Mrs Brown’s Boys!! I have no idea why it’s so popular

AntiHop · 13/08/2025 14:50

Agreed

TheignT · 13/08/2025 14:52

Definitely Mrs Browns Boys. I've never met anyone who liked it.

Iloveeverycat · 13/08/2025 14:54

Definitely Mrs browns boys. How do people watch it.

MorrisZapp · 13/08/2025 14:55

Almost all sitcoms. That one with Lee Mack in it is excruciating.

Whereland · 13/08/2025 14:56

The Big Bang theory- I hate it!!

FanofLeaves · 13/08/2025 14:57

MBB is the obvious one but despite my best efforts I really can’t find Friday Night Dinner funny at all, and I love Tamsin Greig. Just doesn’t do anything for me.

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 13/08/2025 14:57

It's hard to say, because humour is so subjective. I am left cold by comedies that have others rolling in the aisles.

But Mrs Brown's Boys, definitely.

DeclutteringJane · 13/08/2025 14:58

Dawn French's standup on Netflix. It started with "good evening ladies and jellyfish" which was a joke at my school's Christmas play when I was 8 (and didn't raise a laugh then either), and it went downhill from there.

Another vote for Mrs Brown’s Boys , excruciating.

Meadowfinch · 13/08/2025 15:03

MBB.

Or there was a dreadful one with Brenda Blethyn that only lasted one series..

TheignT · 13/08/2025 15:06

Maybe we should start a thread to find someone who likes MBB

I hate it
and I’ve never watched it !!
just seeing an image of it makes my gears grind !!
what do people like about it ??

Harshreality · 13/08/2025 15:13

Oh man. At first, thought you were all referencing Men Behaving Badly with MBB, not Mrs Brown's Boys.

Gary and Tony are comedy gold.

Little Britain

Lampzade · 13/08/2025 15:16

British sitcoms are generally unfunny

Osmosisfreight · 13/08/2025 15:17

The office for me

DenizenOfAisleOfShame · 13/08/2025 15:18

Mrs Brown’s Boys is very, very bad. It’s easily the worst ‘comedy’ of recent years.

But for all time I’d have to give it to My Family. Fuck that was terrible. God knows why it got such good ratings.

I might get flamed but I quite enjoy it. At least the first couple of seasons. My parents used to put it on in the pub at the end of the night whilst I was working and loads of the customers clearly enjoyed it as they all sat there to watch it.

it is what it is, and if you can overlook that, it’s just a bit of a laugh - don’t think too deeply.

Mondaytuesdayhappydays · 13/08/2025 15:21

Used to love The News Quiz on Radio 4 before it got DEI’d
Unfortunately it transpired that pale, stale middle class, middle aged men were actually very funny, talented, and particularly gifted at writing and delivering clever political satire who knew!!!!

Its dire now not the hosting but some of the guests
horrific

breakfastdinnerandtea · 13/08/2025 15:22

I think some places use a loose definition of the term “comedy”, so I’d have to go with A Man Called Otto, which wasn’t funny one bit yet is defined as a comedy…

In terms of shows, I agree with a pp who said Friday Night Dinner. Just couldn’t get into it.

Edited

The only thing ‘funny’ about ‘My Family ‘ was how unfunny it was. Dreadful programme
The canned laughter wasn’t even convincing

Was just coming in to say Mrs Browns boys!

I quite liked it at the start, the first couple of series were funny but it started to go downhill and now i cant watch it.
