Mrs Browns Boys....The Film

paddy147

Fair play to Brendan O'Carroll and his family and non family cast members.

Hes a great success and now he and the cast are getting the international success too.

Filming started on the streets of Dublin today.


I wish them the best of luck so.:)

Best of luck and all, but I'm not a fan.

Most overrated show ever.
You can see the jokes punchlines coming a mile away.

Am I the only one who fails to find this show or Brendan O'Carroll funny?

Am I the only one that gets bored by the same old abuse of this show? You don't like it. Get over it. Other people do.

A fellow Irish person is making a success of himself. Fair play to him.

wazky

Fair play to him indeed.

But am I the only one that would rather staple their eyelids shut then watch this crap?

My easiest way of sussing if any new colleague or potential friend has a semblance of intelligence in recent years comes down mostly to one thing;

Do they find Mrs Brown's Boys funny.

If people think it's crap they are entitled to say.

I think it's crap.

Not my bag at all.. I don't know how anyone can find it funny. But yeah, fair play to them anyway. They've managed to satisfy an audience made up mostly of idiots.. which is no easy task.

And before someone accuses me of being a 'begrudger' .. don't bother, I already know I'm a bitter old cnut.

Fair play to the comedians whose jokes he steals and then transplants directly into his highly lucrative show.

It's aimed towards idiots and people who don't like comedy.

I don't see it often.

B O'C is not to my personal taste. Whenever I do catch it by accident, I always finish up laughing out loud at least twice.

I then feel ashamed and switch off.

It's most perplexing.

Fair play to him etc

But am I the only one would rather staple their eyes, ears and assh@le shut than watch that crap?

On the contrary, I don't begrudge the man or the concept of the show. I wish him and all involved every success in the future etc etc.

Still think it's shyte though.

Cant stand it myself so bloody low brow its like a ten year old writes the scripts, but my mother and her mate in the 50+ age range seem to love it.

Everyone seems to say "fair play to him". No one dislikes Brendan as a person, and people are happy he's doing well. But his show is awful shíte.

Personally I find more laughs in Platoon than in Mrs Brown's Boys.

I just simply don't understand how any adult finds it funny, yet I know many who do (including some who are otherwise highly intelligent). It's set up like a show you'd see on Nickleodeon, and while it would be passable on that level it just has so many flaws for a show on prime time Saturday night TV, I just can't get my head around it's popularity at all.

I don't hate people that watch it or those involved, I'm just amazed by it

Funnily (!) enough that is exactly the series I was thinking about when I see MBB.

However When The Whistle Blows was just a witless comedy. MBB is not witless, it has some good lines, and the breaking of the fifth wall subverts the idea that it is just a sitcom.

It is more popular to say you don't find this show funny than it is to say you enjoy it.
Yet it still does incredibly well, go figure.

I remember listening to an erudite discussion on BBC Radio Four this year just after Christmas,on the topic of Christmas television.

The critics were saying that the days of big comedies,the likes of Morecambe and Wise and Some Mothers etc. were almost gone. However as examples of succesful upholders of the tradition they mentioned Miranda Hart's Christmas special, and Mrs. Brown's Boys.

The TV show is the greatest pile of ****e I've watched in a long time... a poor excuse for comedy. I can't imagine a movie being much better.

It's got a market, like Crystal Swing has got a demographic that like that sort of thing.

Depends on what company you are in. I've been around people when the topic of this show has come up and to them this show is the very definition of comedy.
I also agree with the When The Whistle Blows reference. It's entirely dated, low brow rubbish that is on par with a ridiculous parody of the genre.

Much better! /calls off lawyers

:P

But anyway, fair play to him I guess. I dislike the show (I actually liked the DVD versions released some years ago that had no laugh track) but it's popular so more power to him.

I sort of lost all respect for O'Carroll when I part of an episode where he blatantly ripped off the "There's no ANY key on this computer!" joke. It was funny in the 90's man, not now.

dont forget Hamburger Hill.

"We've been up on that hill ten times, and they still don't think we're serious."

I guess he tried to order a Tab to the confusion of many.

How Soon Is Now

Its brainless cheap comedy for the more simple minded side of working class Dublin.

I don't watch it, I don't think it's funny, I also think the X-Factor and most of them shows are sh1te too. But plenty of people like them, it's innocent harmless fun, a form of escapism and it's not really doing anyone any harm.

What p1sses me off is knowing the amount of times he will pop up on RTE over the next few months promoting the film for free on the Late Late, Saturday Night, Radio etc etc.

It still astonishes me the amount of airplay RTE staff give their friends and fellow clients of their agents, when plenty of good, young talent here gets little or no airtime. Same old dross telling the same old stories year after year.

Brendan O'Carroll's no Colm Meaney!!!!!

Joe prim

I think many people fail to perceive that O'Carroll is seeking to subvert the very idea of "popular" comedy by producing a melange of cliche, double entendre and derivative pun-making in order to point up the very real meaninglessness of "humour" in the context of the post-modern existential dilemma-his genius is to disguise a Derrida influenced "artistic masquerade" as a piece of mainstream entertainment while undermining both the soi-disant 'sophisticated' audience's expectations , and the demands of the , as Sartre would have described them, lumpencommentariat, insofar as MBB contains the very highest standard of self-criticism internalised within its own structures. That's wor I think inanyways, and the rest of yiz can go an' sh*te.

Mrs. Browne's Boys is just a Dub version of Miss Doubtfire with bad language.

Aye Aye Captain.

He's no Robert Sheehan or Chris O'Dowd either but you rarely hear them getting the same amount of plugging.
Seen both in major (****e) films recently where they were hardly even credited.
Chris in Gullivers Travels, Robert in Season of the Witch
