Is it just me or this fecking (you heard me be funny by saying fecking) load of absolute ****e crap ready to knock it on the head?

Les Dawson did it a lot better imo....

Discussing it just reminds us all that it exists. I try and avoid anything to do with it. The panic if it comes on and I can't find the remote.

It is what it is (shite, but very popular shite). It's a waste of time trying to understand its popularity.

Seems to be the marmite of TV right now.

Exactly. Like marmite, I can take it or leave it.

People voted for Brexit.
People voted for Trump.
People believe the world is flat.
People find Mrs Browns Boys funny.

It's the world we live in. Stupidity rules.

Lowest common denominator within the lowest common denominator. Carry On film 'humour' 50 years late.

Unfortunately I'm supposed to pay for the BBC licence fee. Every time I see Mrs brown I consider a length of rope...

whoopsadoodles · 22-04-2017 10:02PM

I like it

Would the people who find it funny still be laughing if he wasn't cross dressing?

Autosport · 22-04-2017 10:04PM

I fecking love it

I remember this started as a 5 minute segment on the Ferry Ryan radio show in the 90's. It's tongue in cheek fun, Not my scene but can't understand people's hatred of it.

diomed · 22-04-2017 10:05PM

I start reaching for my remote.

And would you still be laughing if he wasn't dressed as a woman?

Lorelli! · 22-04-2017 10:09PM

I've watched it once or twice only and didn't find it funny tbh. Seems to be the same kind of comedy as Hyacinth Bucket with Keeping Up Appearances or something like Mr Bean (which use to make me feel a bit sick for some reason?? :pac: ) but I suppose people find things funny for different reasons.

I've a friend where if you watched something like Keeping up Appearances, she'd make it funny because of her commentary throughout

timthumbni · 22-04-2017 10:09PM

How in under ****s name does this man make money?

He gave every single member of his family and extended family a job on the show. Well done Brendan, great way to encourage local young actors and actresses by effectively using nepotism to cut off any potentially talented actors and actresses who need their big break and could have been just as good as any of his (many completely lacking experience) family.
A man who seems to help the Joe Duffy poor-me crowd but spits in the face of the acting community.

Beyondgone · 22-04-2017 10:14PM

Whenever you find yourself wondering why Mrs Browns is popular, just remember Enya and Daniel O'Donnell. There's no accounting for taste. And as a well known grower of cheap, crappy plants once said "Sh1t sells".

22-04-2017 10:14PM

This comes up every few months. It's basically Mrs Doubtfire in a Finglas accent. It's utter tripe and it's real lower common denominator stuff. It's really like a parody e.g. When The Whistle Blows from BBC's Extras. However, O'Carroll is a genuinely generous man so I don't begrudge him his success.

To whom does he owe anything, seriously?

snowflaker · 22-04-2017 10:17PM

Enya is very talented singer tbf

It's entertainment & it seems to entertain a lot of people.

It obviously does it's job.

I have it on here right now. (lost the remote.)

No harm. I'm just about drunk enough to enjoy it.
