Mrs. Brown's Boys?


Anyone think it's funny?

I have a sick and twisted mind. Wanna be my friend?

Sadly it appears some do, haven't got a clue why.

Referring to any religion as a mental handicap sounds inappropriate, despite being true.

Wat???? This show is funny I like the show it show that leave bloopers in while taping live

I am a late convert to Mrs. Brown. I caught an episode by accident, having convinced myself that it was "beneath me", and now I try to watch all the re-runs. It is in the British tradition of "Old Mother Riley", and is reminiscent of the live comedy shows of the 1960s, when mistakes couldn't be re-shot.

It has a sort of endearing quality about it but, no, it's not funny. Atleast, not in the same way that Father Ted, Blackadder, or One Foot In The Grave is.

MBB has the feel of a show written by committee whereby "jokes", light in humour, are delivered conveyor belt fashion much like American shows complete with over-exuberant canned laughter in the wrong places.

So you end up with a series of forgettable lines that don't add to a big satisfying belly laugh or an intensely poignant moment at the end.

It's all relative. I think it is extremely funny with great characters, others hate it. They and I will never agree.

The Long Walk stops every year, just once.

I think it's terribly unfunny. And I'm Irish. Dad likes it though.
