RiffRaff Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Why? About as juvenile and unfunny as Peter Glaves and Co. on Crackerjack - "Crackerjack!" - many years ago. Lousy acting, appalling script, and yet gets peak viewing hours over the Christmas nights. Can anyone explain the appeal, please?!

smithy266 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 There are few programmes as unfunny as this one, heaven knows why so many supposedly intelligent people rave about it. It is total garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrotequila Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I honestly can't watch it, it's absolute tosh. Nothing about it is funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranza Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I didn't mind the radio program but the tv series is dire. It's just not funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) My Mum thinks it's hilarious. I think it's imbecilic. It's not even well observed humour, it's just people swearing a lot. That's the joke, a middle aged man dressing up as a common Irish woman whose got a mouth like a sewer. I can only think it got peak viewing at Christmas because as per usual, telly was dire & people had nothing else to watch.

DnAuK Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 It's pretty much classic Brexit-era humour isn't it? A throwback to the 70's. Rather like Citizen Khan. Love Thy Neighbour will be getting a remake next.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Thy Neighbour will be getting a remake next.... Well I have heard it all now, Brexit to blame for Mrs Browns Boys. Surprised it has not been blamed for Father Ted, even though the series finished decades before Brexit came to pass. I admit I find both of them hilarious. The acting on both, brilliant. For _+_+*s sake fellow posters get a life and live a little, you may get to like it. Angel1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I started to watch Mrs Browns Boys a few years ago and I find it funny. Ended up watching all of the old ones. There probably is a lot of people who loathe it, but millions tune in to watch Mammy at Christmas me included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
