Mrs Brown's Boys

[grumpy01]

Am I the only one who finds this to be unfunny and with too much unnecessary swearing.

[elliemay1]

No, you're not the only one, grumpy

[andy-hughes]

The swearing does not offend me, but I don't find it funny.

Ironically, the present Mrs Hughes, who does not like swearing, loves it. She appreciates the 'Irishness' of the humour - her mum is from Wicklow.

[woofgang]

never liked it

[Psybbo]

No it's awful

Much as I dislike swearing I love Mrs Brown's Boys....I suppose there's a good reason for that though......I just "know" everyone in it.......♣

I do not like unnecessary swearing and find it boring.
But I was recently on a train that was going to Holyhead, Anglesey, and there were a group of Irishmen on it. This is the Boat train to Ireland and the men (in their words) had had a 'fecking good Grand National' at Aintree, Liverpool.

Eavesdropping ( I couldn't help it, they were loud) on their conversations was very funny.

I find Mrs Browns Boys similar. I usually dislike bad language, but if it is done in an Irish accent, it suddenly becomes hilarious.

Pogue Mahone ta ya all.

[grandpajoe]

Not funny. Father Ted also had some bad language but was hilarious . Both Irish so no bias.

Gromit!....Tut!.....☺☺☺

[Psybbo]

Gromit, we need an Irish speaking mod to blot out your last line

Father Ted had very clever writers. A class of its own.
Mrs Brown's Boys is slapstick with swearing, funny in parts.

[hc4361]

Gromit, at least spell it right.

Póg mo thóin , to you, too

[Caran]

Just watched it. Swearing doesn't seem as bad when it's coming from Agnes.
I love the programme, watch every repeat.

[jourdain2]

I saw 5 mins of it once and found it unfunny and with far too much swearing. I despair of people in charge of 'entertainment' really I do.

[hc4361]

Which episode was on tonight?

[Jackdaw33]

Funny for the first two series but then became repetitive.I got to the point where I was able to say the next line before the actor did.

[Gromit]

hc4361, and others,

Pogue Mahone, was 'The Pogues' (The band) original name, Anglicised as they were London Irish, not real bogtrotters. :-)

[Baldric]

Mrs B's Boys, I've had funnier toothache tbh.

[gingejbee]

It's boringly unfunny to me....1 minute is more than enough.

[hc4361]

I know that, Gromit. :)

Bay City Rollers to you
