    Two great Irish comedies in their own right, Father Ted was completely original and groundbreaking at the time but looking at back at it now it feels like the gags became repetitive as the series went on.

    Mrs Brown's Boys is seems to be underrated here in Ireland, I'll no doubt get dog's abuse from the Father Ted fanatics but given the recent phenomenal success of MBB I think it's a touch and go as to which of these two is the greatest Irish comedy series. What say ye?

    Your joking right?

    How you can even mention MBB in the same paragraph as Father Ted is beyond words! MBB appeals to the type of people who lets just say would find a man falling off a chair ...hilarious . It's CRAP.

    Father ted is Genius.

    Mrs Browns Boys is about as funny as a kick in the balls.

    Only a complete and utter moron could find it humorous.

    I'd say you could poll After Hours on Fianna Fáil vs MBB and MBB would still lose.

    Father Ted is near but MBB is far away.

    OP

    Have you considered that this may be an ecumenical matter at all?

    I tried watching Mrs Brown's Boys a few times, but don't find it that funny ....seriously Brendan O'Carroll had his day back in the early 90's end of.I can watch repeats of Father Ted and laugh till I cry still.

    I flicked onto "Mrs Browns Boys" momentarily.

    I would have been happier if I had cat aids

    That would be an ecumenical matter!


    Seriously, though, no ... just no! I know this is boards and people are entitled to an opinion but c'mon now you're taking the whole pack of biscuits. Fr.Ted is a classic and it will be quoted till the day I die. I've nothing against Mrs.Brown Boys but all those gags and jokes have been done before and its not in anyway controversial as some people seem to think. Fr.Ted took on the Catholic Church before everyone acknowledged they were a bunch of kiddie fiddling, stealing twats and it did so brilliantly.

    Go back now to studying the chart
