Is it wrong that I'm warming to Mrs Browns Boys?

force eleven

I scoffed and scorned it, and then by accident started watching it before Christmas, and have come to appreciate the sharp wit and in jokes of O'Carroll and Co.

You feeling the same?

Big Nasty

Very much so!

B O' C is a c0ck! :mad:

In a word: yes.

sophieblake

A lot of the jokes are obvious but there is a gem or two every night.
I find it very funny

AnonoBoy

I think they call it Stockholm Syndrome.

bicardi19

Exactly the same. I thought there is no way I'm watching that ****e, then over christmas saw it and did laugh along at some of it.

Question in title different to question in OP confusion going on

dougal

Not really but I'd ask someone to look for the scar that was left when they scooped your brain out.

I have a confession.

*stands up, sheepish expression*

I don't mind it.

Agricola

Has the writing improved slightly since the move to the BBC, or is that just the West Brit in me talkin?

antodeco

I'm more annoyed that now that BBC bought it, they are re-doing all the episodes. Plus, BOC did mention about the biscuits "up and down the UK"

LighterGuy

get out.

kfallon

The daughter's voice in it goes thru my head!

For every two episodes there may be one decent line/joke so definitely not worth watching imo!

flanders1979

Its full of old jokes.
Almost as bad as Killinascully.

Liam Byrne

Horrendous unfunny ****e, so yes to the thread title.

Fear Uladh

Homosexuality is not a crime OP, you go for it.

John Doe1

Oh god youve turned into one of THEM,:eek: burn him

Kojak

Mrs Brown's Boys - the best form of torture for extracting info from criminals.......

Mr Benevolent

It's very funny with a few beers.

Yakult

Dont find it that good myself. But it is of higher standard than the normal **** RTE throw up.

Don't mind that either.:)

Explosions in the Sky

I have friends in England who love it and have gone to see his shows, imo its a terrible show but watching it from a point of view from anyone outside Ireland I can understand why they would find it funny

davet82

Thank god i'm not alone! I hated this program now i have it set to record on my sky box... the shame


Dont hate us we use to be like you

It seems to be going down well in the UK.

He could do with less eff this and eff that. Feck the odd time is grand but he overdoes it a bit with the language.

Take a gun. Place between legs. Place barrel in mouth. Pull trigger.

TBH an over reliance on fcuk exposes weakness in scripts.You can't keep using fcuk to insert humour and life into a script if it isn't already there.Having said that the phrasing of the jokes has definately improved from his original dvd series.Your frame of mind as you watch it will definately determine whether or not you find it funny.

"bring on the vodka!"

Anon2020

TBH, I can't stand that show. I don't find it entertaining or funny.:cool:

mfceiling

I was warming to it too OP.....I got it on Dvd for Xmas and chucked it straight on to the fire...warmed me for a few minutes alright...

brummytom

I like it, as does everyone I know.



There, I said it.

No. You need help.

Telling 40 year old jokes aren't witty.

Liam Byrne

Had the misfortune to catch a few mins of it over Christmas when (s)he was talking to a neighbour who had lost their job.

(S)he suggested that they top themselves.

Straight out of the Ahern handbook, a real - and pointless, because it wouldn't be funny at any time - two-fingers to those who have lost their jobs and about as "funny" as ****ting a whole melon.

theteal

Of all the things that could have followed me over here:

club orange? nope.

proper sausages? not a chance.

Brendan O'Carroll dressed in drag spouting sh!te. . . .BBC every poxy week!

Son Of A Vidic

Tried watching it once, but after several jokes that I first heard from him in 1994, I thought that was enough for me.

Caveman1

I'm a fan of Brendan I carroll but his biggest let down is he always repeats jokes, I get a laugh out of mrs browns boys, it's so stupid it's funny, his daughter is a fine thing too

ancapailldorcha

People at work love it!

To be fair, he's an improvement on Jedward and Daniel.

Er - no you don't......you don't even "have to" like it, or be neutral, because it's ****e!

Marzipan85

a man dressed in drag shouting expletives does not shout original comedy to me. mrs brown is basically the only character on the show, as she basically interrupts anything interesting that any other character may have to say, and this is supposed to be interpreted as funny. was forced to watch an episode. won't watch it again.

Resisted the urge to do some editing on that post, á la 'FYP'.
It's my good deed for the day.

Oscars Well.

It's a terrible, terrible show.

Dudess

My friend in Scotland who normally shares my sense of humour thinks Mrs Brown's Boys is hilarious. His mates do too. I'm stumped.
