No one else on that list I find remotely amusing, Bernard Manning especially, easily one of the biggest arseholes I think I've ever seen, and his misguided arrogance of how important and good he is on the comedy circuit is actually worrying

Never got the guy myself but he was of his time (stone age - 1970). Been dead since 2007.

I enjoy. Yes there's silly comedy in it, bit I enjoy it and take it for what it is!

rolliepoley · 29-12-2015 06:08PM

No.

anewme · 08-01-2016 10:03PM

I'm warming towards it. My Mum loves it.

Brendan himself is in the news again having agreed to pay for the funeral expenses of a homeless Polish man in Ennis whose body has been sitting in the Morgue for 3 weeks because no one will bury him.

He's one of the good ones and deserves his success.

Why would some want to stick their face in acid and then watch Mrs brown's boys... That's a whole new level of BDSM.

I have to admit he's dacent, but I suspect that the funeral of a Polish downand out would probably be funnier than Mrs Brown's Boys.

Serious Shakespearean drama, without the drama.

Mugatuu · 09-01-2016 03:11AM

No I think it's complete horse ****! It doesn't appeal to me at all! I just cringe when I see the auld pair watching it

It's old style, end of the pier humour, but very cleverly written, put together and delivered. I always found his live shows crossed into unnecessarily blue country and was fully expecting to hate the TV show but as others have said, I warmed to it. It's silly but essentially good-hearted - nobody is laughed at, always with. I'd rather watch it than an episode of 'Friends'.

I don't find it funny after trying to watch it a few times. My GF's parents love it so its always on around Christmas in theirs and I sit through it every year and just don't find it funny at all.

However I appreciate that comedy is entirely subjective to the person viewing, so I don't belittle the show, or those that do enjoy it. That annoys me greatly when I see people do the "How can anyone like that" or "How does anyone think that's funny". In terms of the setup and subject you'd be hard pushed to separate the comedy style from Father Ted, yet that is universally loved and praised.

Controversial.

I'll tell you though that although MBB is indeed ****e, what's more boring is the geniuses who keep telling you just how crap it is, as if they and they alone came to that realisation; and having done so must start a thread on it, and therefore should be at least in line for a nobel prize in physics.

Too far

MadDog76 · 09-01-2016 04:01AM

I don't like Brendan O'Carroll, I've met him a couple of times and the first time I met him he was a complete tosser ......... the last time I met him he was less tosserish but still a bit of an eejit.

I want to hate Mrs Brown's Boys and I actively avoid watching it but on the rare occasion that I've found myself confronted with it I've, to my shame, laughed at some jokes/scenes ......... but, for the most part, I didn't find it funny.

So I can't vote in the poll as I can't honestly vote 100% yes or no ......... I would have voted sometimes I suppose.

getaroom · 11-01-2016 12:05AM

I dont have subtitles on my tv so I cant watch it,

Stonedpilot · 11-01-2016 12:13AM

Even with the most potent green I couldn't get a single giggle from it so no not one jot funny to me.

lost in cork · 14-01-2016 12:13AM

Is this show one of the most unfunny on TV at the moment ,it seems like a throw back to the 70s ,if On The Buses was funny then so is this ,thoughts please because i dont get it

super_furry · 14-01-2016 12:14AM

Everyone loves it and you're the first person to even suggest it's not the best thing ever.

fleet_admiral · 14-01-2016 12:15AM

Oh its extremely painul. And less of the On The Buses crap, Blakey would turn in his grave

The Sidewards Man · 14-01-2016 12:15AM

Could you have put your plea on Facebook or the likes instead of starting thread 12,889 on Mrs. Brown boys.

Barry Badrinath · 14-01-2016 12:16AM

Have you spoken to Brendan about this?

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 14-01-2016 12:16AM

What an original thread.

pgj2015 · 14-01-2016 12:18AM

its frivolous nonsense for the moronic classes.

Not only is the show a throwback to seventies television, they even recycle jokes from seventies television. In the Christmas programme there was a lederhosen dancing scene similar to a scene from Are You Being Served. In this episode was also a joke identical to something said by Karl Pilkington on one of the XFM radio show years ago.

When Brendan O'Caroll was on QI his first contribution was a joke from Viz from the early nineties. This was a Top Tip about buying your clothes back from charity shops that had been in Viz and then afterwards was allegedly plagiarised by MacDonalds in one of their advertising campaigns. Viz considered suing them.

'The worst thing is that our readers have written to us to complain as they think we've flogged (sold) the ideas to McDonald's for thousands of pounds,' said Viz editor Chris Donald. He said lawyers acting for McDonald's claimed the company's advertising campaign was based on original ideas and not on jokes from Viz. However, one Viz joke suggested saving on laundry bills by giving clothes away to Oxfam, a charity, which would wash and iron them and then put them on sale for only 50 pence (75 cents). The McDonald's version was exactly the same except for substituting a second-hand shop for Oxfam.

So he recycles things that have already been recycled. Can't get any more derivative than that.

As long as he doesnt recycle condoms

kneemos · 14-01-2016 07:10AM

Some will tell you humour is relative,it's not.Mrs. Brown is a pile of stinking horse doings and those that find it funny are laughing at something else.

MadsL · 14-01-2016 08:38AM

painul means something else. Probably apt for MBB though.

Not linking here...no way...
