It's not funny. It's popular because people can't afford to go to bingo anymore.

.I suppose the people that don't like Ms BB don't like two and a half men, that 70's show etc. I hate big bang theory, worst show on TV.

I don't like MBB, like 2 and 1/2 men(won't go down well

) and that 70's show has it's moments, TBBT was pretty good and has the odd laugh still, but I find it quite cruel about nerdy blokes, but there you go. MBB for me and as has been noted is horribly derivative and obvious, low brow music hall stuff. Just my humble. On the other hand I would say fair play to any success story, no matter how base.

It is generally aimed at an older audience though.

Well I'm middle aged and I find it as appealing as genital warts myself. Are we talking decrepit age here?

Hopefully it pans out better for all concerned on the production and reception than previous efforts.

You know the brits love it more than life. I spent Christmas in Manchester.

It's so big over there. Jesus wept.
I had to watch it, and it was worse than you would believe.

"Middle Aged" = no penis function.

I like it in small doses though.

What's wrong with begrudging the success of someone whose main talents include plagiarism, nepotism, falling over and saying "fuck" while dressed as an old woman? Or are we supposed to just blindly celebrate anyone who happens to be Irish and achieves success in the UK?

Simple.

Scumbags begrudge.

Logic?

Lazy scumbags do nothing but complain.

Begrudgers do nothing but complain.

Ergo, begrudging = lazy tracksuit chainsmoking Mr.T jewelled baseball cap "ah heor" "ghetto wha?" scumbag activity.

The Brits love to put embarrassing Irish /stuff up on a pedestal, well done Brendan the formulaic could not fail *swats fanny with tea towel* give that man a bafta.

Pottler · 25-01-2013 12:40AM

I think it's funny, I also like the Big Bang Theory and get a laugh out of it. Maybe the people who don't just have a different sense of humour. Different as in missing. It's a bit of fun, have a laugh and get over your own "sophistication". I usually find "sophisticated" people have vanished slightly up their own holes anyway. But then again, I like a Chinese take-away on a saturday, enjoy the odd mcDonalds and wear a lot of hoodies. I might be a bit common. I can live with it though. Quite happily actually.

Mr's Browns Boys wins best sitcom at the national television awards in the UK beating the likes of the Big Bang theory. A very funny show with a huge fan base all over the world. Well done Brendan.

I'm not a fan (not my type of thing) but I do say fair play to Brendan O'Carroll for making it such a success.

You're eating a fair bit of horse there, fellow. I think that might be the cause of you finding MBB's funny.:pac:

tan11ie · 25-01-2013 12:49AM

Brendan O'Carroll = not funny any more (to me), had enough of listening to him in the 90's.

I've the sense of humour of a 14 year old as well though, when I lose that I'll be sad, there's enough seriousness in the world without me joining in 24/7. And I love Horse, sure I've been eating it furlong enough not to notice anymore..

Didn't know he was involved in making it, fair play, can't have been easy given his great work on the Saturday Night Show.

Everyone on boards in 2023 quoting the show!

Please don't mention MBB and Father Ted in the same sentence. Have a bit of respect for real genius....

DEFTLEFTHAND · 25-01-2013 01:04AM

Didn't O'Carroll have a stage show called 'How's Your Jolly Rodgers?' a few years back. Wasn't he booed off stage or something on opening night?

My memory is a bit hazy I'm not sure if it was him or not.

Happyman42 · 25-01-2013 01:08AM

I know Derek Mooney is at least one of the posters on this thread.
Jaysus Christ, you don't have to be a begrudger to dislike hacknied, plagarised badly pathetically acted dross. The fascists are gonna make us sit down and enjoy ourselves at gunpoint, because the BBC and the peurile, toilet humour fed from birth British public say it's great. Get a grip folks or a critical faculty or two.

25-01-2013 01:08AM

A crap version of Mrs Doubtfire is all it is.

shoos · 25-01-2013 01:10AM

I always thought I'd hate it just from all the negativity I've seen it get from people on Boards, watched it over the xmas holidays and found myself having a good chuckle loads of times! Yeah its rude and its crude, but has some absolute gems that still have me laughing.

There's far worse tbh!

The Brits also loved the 'Carry On' films and thought 'Are You Being Served' was hilarious, so they're probably not the best judges

I used to drink in the Penny Black across from the basket ball arena in Tallaght back in the early nineties. He had a show there one evening. Some of his audience called in after the show, mostly young guys with their girlfriends. A few of us asked the guys that came up to the bar to order, what was the show like.
The most of them were in their early twenties, their comments were of being disgusted and embarrassed in front of their girlfriends. His big gig consisted of discussing periods and the consequences of having sex,during it.
They confirmed my opinion of him.

You are missing the point, those programs had talent.
