    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 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.

    Fair play to him indeed.

    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.

    Nope. Definitely not the only one. I hate his humour.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
