Mrs Brown's boys

[Alex321]

Why be a pedant when there's absolutely no need?. Royle/Royal, so what? I'm sorry that things must be so bad for you at the moment that you have to elevate yourself by putting peoples spelling down.

The difference is that one is a British TV comedy, while the other is either an American TV sitcom or a reference to the family of our monarch.

Sorry that hit a nerve with you, no offence was intended.

I never liked the Roil Family either.

I never liked the Roil Family either.

Me too and but Craig Cash went on to write and perform in Early Doors which was just fantastic.

I think I've only seen one episode and the odd clip of Mrs Brown's Boys. I'm not a humorous type, but I did have a giggle at some of the content. I think it's fair to say I've seen far worse than this program. 🤔

So to those that do not like it, what do you find funny on tv?

 

[Yellow Fang]

I've never watched it, but I am happy to declare it complete garbage.

I am fortunate in having only recently discovering " Early Doors " It's a gem and I still have a lot of it to watch.
With regard to Mrs Browns Boys I sat through an episode when visiting relatives but found it dire. I remember reading quite a while ago about it being very popular among elderly Bre*it voters.

From the Metro story it seems it’s the Marmite of TV shows then.

I suppose Remainers think Fleabag was the greatest sitcom in the history of television. The Guardian seemed to think so.

I did not vote Brexit, the outcome hurt me financially, but I have laughed at Mrs Browns.

Is this without watching it too? Fleabag is very funny.

Re: @screenman's query, I prefer stuff that's more surreal funny. Mighty Boosh, Black Books, Hunderby, Green Wing, Rick & Morty, Murder in Successville, Bojack Horseman etc. Occasionally more mainstream stuff tickles me but it's not often that happens.

It's all been downhill since Hancock's Half Hour.

That could be a thread all of it's own, it's probably been done already but I'll start another one off.

I watched about five minutes. Phoebe Waller-Bridge's character made out to stab her boyfriend (was it) in the shower with a kitchen knife, thinking it would be hilarious. He agreed it was a funny prank after he recovered from the fright.
I grant you it was funnier than 2.4 Children, but was it funnier than those Open University tutorials late night on BBC2 in the 80s?

I'd never even heard of that one (Flea bag, not remainers.)
