Here whats up with RTE showing the exact MBB,s again tonight... the same one was on at least twice yesterday and now on again??

Are things that bad in RTE that they have to show repeats of repeats in two days?

RTE have to pay their amazing broadcasters anything they have so they can't afford decent shows

In case the bottom feeders didn't catch it the first time.

Mrs Brown's Boys: Just say no, children!

Well their prime time viewing for a Stephens Day was the little scrote Brennan with his wanky program so was downhill from there.

It is better than father ted repeats anyway......

wretcheddomain · 27-12-2013 12:29AM

It's an awful totally unfunny programme.

If you have a problem with a service you are receiving then stop paying for it. If they lose people they will see they're doing something wrong.

Oh wait...

Wattle · 27-12-2013 01:08AM

They are simply assuming that we all love MBB's so much that we wouldn't mind watching the same episode two days in a row.

Conmaicne Mara · 27-12-2013 01:09AM

MBB is shyte, keep it in the UK where that type of thing is liked.

One million people watch it regularly in Ireland.

I'd rather watch any Father Ted episode a thousand times before I endured 5 seconds of MBB.

Serious question: Have you watched more than 5 minutes of MBB?

Lots voted for Fianna fail too, there's no accounting for taste.

Proportionately it is more popular and more watched in Ireland than the UK. So I'm not sure what your post was about earlier.

marshbaboon · 27-12-2013 01:24AM

The list of things I'd rather do than watch Mrs Browns boys includes a weekend getaway in Guantanamo bay, and violently masturbating with a sheet of course grade sandpaper.

That MBB is rubbish.

KKkitty · 27-12-2013 01:26AM

If you don't like Mrs. Brown's boys don't watch it simple as. There is other channels available after all and while most of the jokes on it last night were older than Brendan O Carroll himself there is an audience for it. If there wasn't it wouldn't be broadcast.

FixdePitchmark · 27-12-2013 01:29AM

" Ah me fanny "

That sort of humour - biggest piece of ****e.

The only way I look at this, is it - is carry on mixed with Benny hill.

The only reason it gets large viewing - is they like that ****e in UK and the Irish are watching in - in a bewildered fascination with our neighbour.

"Ah me crack"

"How is your nuts"

References to snakes and pussy.

Pure drivel most 12 year olds wouldn't even find funny.

Unfortunately yes, my mother likes it. Lowest common denominator with shamelessly robbed jokes (any key? Come on!). Hate every second of it.

Yes was listening to the lines - some of them sound very familiar.

In fact so many of the slap stick stuff is stole from Mrs Doyls.

And the Grandad character is a Fr Ted sort of character.

My mother likes it too, she and her friends laugh like drains at the thing, it is silly entertainment, any time I'm there I can see they're in hysterics! I tried it, it isn't my cup of tea but it entertains a particular section of society; but it really isn't that different in style from the father ted show either. But the hatred is hard to understand. Maybe it is because it appeals to an older generation?

fussyonion · 27-12-2013 01:41AM

Hate Mrs Browns' Boys. Same old predicatable comedy with age-old jokes and cheesy humour.

Example of an episode;
"Mammy!" says the blonde one with the irritating hoarse voice and toothy grin. "What love, I'm giving Grandad a bed-bath!"
Cue raucous laughing from the audience.
"Do you think Grandad will mind that I've eaten all his nuts?"
"Yes Hiraly, it took him all day to suck the chocolate off." THAT'S AN OLD JOKE.

Mrs Brown with her hanky in her hand all the time irritates me.
The stupid gormless son dressing up as a snowman and being told about "snowballs" by Mrs Brown.
More laughter from the audience.

The entire cast breaking the fourth wall and laughing along with the audience.

It amazes me how this drivel has become so popular.
It's hopeless and I cringe whenever it comes on.

God be with the days when we had proper comedy.

Carry On was bawdy for sure, but it featured some genuinely talented comic performers & kinda had a charm all of its own, a quality that's that's patently absent from O'Carroll's crudfest.

marshbaboon · 27-12-2013 01:44AM

Things I'd rather do than watch mrs browns boys #3:

Stuff a botfly up my crinkle star.

At least you get to whinge about it for free.

People obviously find this character charming.

There is a "message" behind it all.

Listening now - am surprised how much he just uses Bastard or **** when there is no other joke.

An old woman saying **** would be enough to make some laugh "**** off Rory"

No, it's worlds apart from Fr Ted. Fr Ted was actually funny for the most. MBB is absolute dire muck.

Anyone is free to chose what they like or dislike, but neither me nor anyone else choosing not to watch it will make it any better. It will always be drivel. Herselfs mother was here tonight and it was on, I've seen more humour in Oireacteas (spelling) report.
