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

No.

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.

gobnaitolunacy · 03-09-2013 09:46PM

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

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.

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.

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

among others.

dont forget Hamburger Hill.

"I was drafted, sworn in and had my hair cut before I was sober...."
"We've been up on that hill ten times, and they still don't think we're serious."
".......I'm orphan, my brother's queer, the city of Chicago got the clap from my sister. Mum drinks, Dad coughs blood, I have ringworm, emersion foot...the incurable crud and the draft ruined my chances of being a brain surgeon. People. You have no problem. Except me. And him."

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

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

The Van was fantastic, i see no reason to doubt this will be as good.

Is that Mrs Brown's catchphrase? Oh, we have a fan here!

Red Kev · 03-09-2013 10:31PM

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 · 03-09-2013 10:38PM

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.

Is it? I watched it once for about 15 minutes and had to turn it off!

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

Good luck to him, don't mind him or the show, what ever rocks your boat.

naughtysmurf · 03-09-2013 10:51PM

I'm not a fan, seen him doing stand up 20+ years ago, his material & style hasn't changed much & I wouldn't pay to see him again, having said that, I wouldn't begrudge him his success, best of luck to him, hope he makes a fortune....all the begrudgers should take a chill pill, treat yourself to a pot noodle & have an early night, because he doesn't give a sh1te what you think.

Can you use "lumpencommentariat" in a sentence please.
Then can you use in a dirty sentence.;)

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.

I dislike him as a person.

Teyla Emmagan · 04-09-2013 09:18AM

He brought the whole film crew virtually over from England with him. That's easy money he could have given to the Irish economy. I know one of the few local people on it and it sounds like racist embarrassing ****e.

Just incredible to me that such a respected studio would put so much money behind this. I quite like Brendan himself but the appeal of Mrs Brown's boys is completely beyond me. It's such lowest common denominator stuff.
