Mrs Brown's boys

[Cycleops]

I've read that when recently asked at a Q&A session if he thought the comedy was funny the BBCs Director of Comedy remained silent.Rumour has it they want to axe it. It's been on the air for thirteen years.
I've seen bits of it and it does seems about as funny as having teeth pulled but apparently millions watch it and the beeb simply can't kill it off.
Anyone a fan on here? Is it past it's time and should should be consigned to the bin or is it still good for a titter.

Don't watch BBC output as I don't have a TV license.

Mammy mammy, feck feck, grandaaddd!

That's seemingly the script for most episodes, I've watched it so that you don't have to.

About as funny as a fart in a space suit.

If laughter is the best medicine, does watching Mrs Brown's Boys give you meningitis?

 

[glasgowcyclist]

It’s awful.

 

[Cycleops]

It’s awful.

So who watches it? It has a very big following.

Watched about 30 seconds of it years ago and instantly vowed never to watch it again.

Absolutely dreadful!

 

[Cycleops]

It's been called a comedy for people that 'clap when the plane lands' and 'about as funny as Polio'.
Hugo Rifkind of The Times described its festive specials as 'the now traditional unmitigated s***house of fatuous a***'.
Yet it pulled in audiences of 11m Iin 2012/13. How can this be?

All the other channels were broken

It is brilliant, but then again I am not a normal cyclist, I am a happy guy that laughs a lot.

I watch it quite often, and yes it can be painful at times, I think it can pull out a few gems from time to time. Its a throwback and has its place for me.

So who watches it? It has a very big following.

Fuctifiknow!

 

[Slick]

I've just realised why I quite like it and watch from time to time. It takes me back to my first favourite comedian I used to listen when it was tapes. (Remember they days?) Hector Nicol was class and had me in stitches.

I suspect a venn diagram of fans of mrs browns boys and Reform voters would be an almost perfect circle. 😁

We watched it years ago and some episodes were quite funny.
Way past retirement time now though 😬
