I'd sooner have electrodes attached to my testicle and be flogged with a knotted rope than watch it.
Can't understand its popularity

Amazingfun · 03-12-2015 09:18AM

My mother and my aunt's reactions to this show is what I love, never seen such fits of laughter in my life, neither one of them can even breathe right when watchin it, they find it so hilarious. It's a mystery to me, but I love how happy it makes them

GavRedKing · 03-12-2015 09:19AM

I despise it really but its popular enough to warrant 3 shows over the festive period and has had a few stage runs too so it clearly appeals to some.

mfceiling · 03-12-2015 09:20AM

Won't bother me as I won't be watching it no matter when it's on.

gazzer · 03-12-2015 09:25AM

Mrs Brown D Movie is on too. Ughhhhhh.

Same here. I don't get it at all, but don't mind if it's on if my dad's over. Very few things make him laugh so much.

matchthis · 03-12-2015 09:37AM

My kid loves it, got me watching it. The more I watch it the more I like it.

On the Internet 99.9999% of people agree

The British like that sort of slapstick comedy.
If it was anybody else but O'Carroll I might even watch it to see what it was like.

Custardpi · 03-12-2015 09:55AM

Not my cup of tea but nothing wrong with it either. Fair play to BOC for making such a success of it. It's knockabout comedy in the music hall tradition. There's a huge amount of snobbery around the show - people lining up to prove their intellectual superiority by how much they hate it.

Valetta · 03-12-2015 09:58AM

I like it.

Wonda-Boy · 03-12-2015 10:06AM

What's the alternative Willy wonka and the wizard of fcukin oz!!! It is what it is, don't over think it ffs. People who grew up watching O Carroll seem to hate it as alot of the jokes are repeated but other generations who don't know him love the show. Personally I would rather watch this then the other tripe oo nn over Xmas.

Some people say the same thing about Father Ted not everyone's cup of tea.....

valoren · 03-12-2015 10:12AM

It's an ode/interpretation of the slapstick double-entendre innuendo tradition of the classic Carry On formula.
It is what it is in an unpretentious way. In that vein it has been a huge success.

Don't knock Willy Wonka.Unless it's Depp's paedo version.You can knock that.

It's bottom of the barrel crap, don't get its popularity, and not just in the UK, think it's big in Australia too ..

Gaygooner · 03-12-2015 10:17AM

It has its its market, it knows its market- well done BOC

screamer · 03-12-2015 10:23AM

Is it going to be the same fecking episode shown 3 days? Ould ones love it thats why it's popular and that's it's market. I can tolerate it but I couldn't watch a whole movie of it.

somesoldiers · 03-12-2015 10:24AM

I've gotten a few laughs out of it, if I'm not in the humour I won't tune in

Doctor- We will need a sample of his stool and urine
Granddad- What did he say?
Mrs Brown- He needs a pair of your underpants

It's terrible, and although I've never been able to watch more than a minute of the programme in one sitting, I did buy a 'sound' Mrs Brown birthday card for my mother this year. It uttered some cheap, harmless, unfunny expletives; absolutely hilarious!

No, just a wilfully silly comedy which doesn't take itself too seriously. Not my style but it's not claiming to be anything other than what it is. There's far worse stuff on TV tbh.

Menas · 03-12-2015 10:50AM

If only Caroline Ahern would rescue us from this muck and give us 4 episodes of The Royale Family...

The last few episodes of the Royle Family have been dire.

I know it dosnt make any claims that it's high brow, well written, well acted or takes itself seriously. And yes there are worse things on TV. That dosnt stop it from being appalling garbage best suited to those who have given up on life.

A dire Royale Famile episode is 100 times better than the best Mrs Brown Boys episode!!

Appallingly judgemental nonsense. It's perfectly possible to be intelligent, hardworking etc & also enjoy silly "low-brow" humour. Nothing wrong with switching your brain off for a while to relax. I suppose your entertainment consists mainly of reading Tolstoy & watching obscure arthouse films.

GLaDOS · 03-12-2015 10:57AM

I don't like it, I don't watch it, it doesn't bother me.

AnonoBoy · 03-12-2015 11:03AM

Just as well there's an endless supply of other TV and films I can watch at the specific times this 'orrible show is on.

The new characters they brought in were really weak.
