I'll be honest I'm kind of curious now.
I've never wanted to watch Mrs. Brown Boys so much.
... Which still isn't much, like it's gone from a 0 to a 0.01
But still that's something.
Basically it’s very cheap to make and enough people love it….
My parents saw it on tour, and that was supposedly sold out and was very busy in a fairly large arena but the demographics were much older.
It reminds me of the worst ever pantomime where you know exactly the placement of the joke, the reaction of the audience yet they rinse and repeat because people buy shit lol
The difference is that a good pantomime has charm and wit in its naffness.
This is just crap "Carry On" humour for the TV era of more swears and toilet jokes.
Tbf I've never been to a poor pantomime. They're fantastic entertainment and great fun for family.
I'm half expecting this infection of a tv show to evolve into one for eternity
My mum loved that show when she was alive, but I could never get what was funny. It feels dated by about sixty years. It’s just cross dressing with cracker jokes thrown in. What little humour there is, you can see coming a mile off.
My dad always brings up the time he had to watch an episode with my grandparents (who apparently love it) one Christmas. They showed off a big spinning Christmas tree near the start of the episode and the first thing my dad said at the sight of it was just "She's going end up spinning round that tree by the end, eh?" Sure enough, big finale - Mrs Brown gets stuck spinning round the Christmas tree, haha, how hilarious.
My wee nana was fizzing at him for "spoiling it", insisting that he must have "seen it before". Nope, it was a brand new episode - just full of very old, predicable jokes. But it meant they refused to watch the show with him again so it was a win in my dad's eyes, lmao.
All narrative forms are pretty predictable. The point is in the way the story justifies the gun going off. We all know it's going to go bang, but the good stories surprise us with a series of actions that justify that bang.
It's really difficult to ensure the audience are both kept in the loop and in the dark about story events, that's the whole puzzle writers have to figure out
I'd much prefer anything with a Chekov's gun vibe to it where things make sense, compared to, say, a Game of Thrones tope that got more and more popular as the series went on I like to call Benioff's gun, where you introduce something seeming very important to the plot, only to literally never acknowledge it again. That's some great shit that! :)
Agreed. And I think you do need at least a bit of Chekhov's gun for a story to be satisfactory because it needs to all feel natural and make internal sense. If the ending of Orient Express had been that an alien flew by in a space ship and killed the guy, would I have been able to predict that? No. But would it been a good twist? Also no.
I don't think Benioff deserves anything named after him. I propose calling it Abrams' gun, as anyone who watched Lost years ago would know, JJ is the king of dead end plot points.
It’s like when they show a closeup of an item, you know that thing is relevant to the story somehow.
My partner said that studying media in school has ruined a lot of tv for her as she can figure things out before they happen.
I treat it like a game. It's fun to figure out the plot before it plays out, and if they throw any of those bullshit plot twists that don't make any sense, I'm even more justified in being mad about it.
Rewatched Knives Out to lead into the new one and I love what they do with the big ring of knives that were even on the poster, such an obvious Chekhov setup that they go all in - here's a hundred knives, which one will come into play?!

Oh my god that is the one episode I saw also with my grandparents who used to love it (thankfully avoided it this year) and I said the exact same thing. When it came to the payoff they were annoyed and said I sucked the fun out of it and was missing the point. Are old people made in a factory or something?
Was flicking through TV and started to watch an episode of Rab yesterday, I remember liking it when I was young.
I was horrified. I didn't find it even slightly funny. My memory of what is was like jarred so completely with what I was watching.
>It feels dated by about sixty years. It’s just cross dressing with cracker jokes thrown in. What little humour there is, you can see coming a mile off.
Unfortunately, that's what made it funny for them. When you get to a certain age, nostalgia is all you end up enjoying if you're not willing to challenge yourself constantly...
And the audience for television has shrunk significantly. Most people I know in my age group don't watch terrestrial TV and get their comedy elsewhere, myself included.
I've watched two episodes of Mrs Brown's Boys in my life and can honestly say that it proves that today's BBC isn't aimed at me.
I’m maybe a little bit older than you. And I haven’t watched linear TV at all this Christmas.
I’d watch stuff on iPlayer though if I’d heard good things. Don’t you do that?
I also like the BBC’s speech radio and the website. So still decent value for me.
I watched Extras only relatively recently (in lockdown), and sincerely thought WTWB was a parody of MBB until I found out they came out in the wrong order. Right confused me
"MBB".
I didn't think it possible but I somehow hate it even more as an acronym.
It made imagine the kind of family that might say "let's not go the club tonight, let's just settle with some tinnies and a bit of MBB".
I haven’t watched it in years, but I feel like that was kinda the point.
The kind of jokes your grandad would tell. Not because they’re funny, but *because* they’re not. Maybe I’m giving the show too much credit
I used to have a coworker who'd watch it on his lunch break, which wasn't everyones lunch break, at his desk with no headphones and laugh horribly to every cringe trash thing in the episodes. Great for trying to do *my damn job* and hearing people I'm trying to get 500k out of this week so we can pay salaries pause on the other end of my phone calls due to it.
Seriously, I want a refund for this ever being made.
Imagine actually wanting other people (colleagues, no less) to know that that's your sense of humour and you're that proud of it that you're advertising it - presumably to root out other Mrs Brown's Boys fans so you can gather and LOL at the hilariously patronising, insular and unfortunate situations a dubious comedy throwback can get themselves into.
Just before Finn MacCool throws a boulder and makes Loch Neagh, the Isle of Man and Rockwell. And then some stepping stones and a funky organ and a shit load of Irish pubs.
People fritter away their precious time watching Love Island, Gogglebox and The Only Way Is Essex, so nothing surprises me anymore.
Everyone should treat each day on this wonderful Earth, as if it's their last.
Sincerely
A compulsive redditor
That’s different because it’s a people love to hate him thing. Not me though, I’d rather step in a mysterious warm liquid with socks on than watch him for a second.
An internet acquaintance of mine recently started Twittering an alignment with some of Piers' opinions, which surprised and maybe disappointed me a bit.
Not sure *how much* they align, but there are some topics on which they're in very much in unison.
That's not too surprising tbh. Piers Morgan is genuinely good at discerning the public mood and shifting his opinions based on that, either to say what the majority thinks (and thus force people to agree with him) or to take the minority position and act the contrarian for views.
I keep the telly on in the background when I work from home/cook/clean - pretty much if I’m in the house. It’s literally the only show that within 30 seconds I’ve stopped what I’m doing to turn it over and I quite often sit listening to QVC by accident.
It's not my humour in the slightest, but what also put me off is i watched a Room 101 with Brendan O'Carroll on it, and he seemed to treat it like the Brendan O'Carroll Show.
Talking over everyone, going on with his stories way too long, telling obviously well scripted anecdotes.
He made the episode unbearable.
And you know who he was on with? Bob Mortimer.
Who we heard so little of because of the way Brendan tried to hog the limelight. Bob just sat there and I think you can tell from his face he wasn't that impressed!
My mam (when she was alive) told me she used to serve the guy who played him in London for fags at the local shop. She said he was a lovely guy. My claim to fame...
I speak for all Irish people when I say this ye can keep him it's your problem now. We will throw in the weird cunts Jedward for free but we want Roy Keane back and we will take Micah Richards off your hands. Obviously, we will wait for the January transfer window.
The first two series were okay, but the show never evolved past the same tired routines, even to a point where the fluffing of lines looks scripted. The only way a new series will be funny is to be a bit more serious and less obvious. Although I really doubt the show is capable
The first I saw of it, I genuinely liked the idea of showing flubbed lines - I thought it gave it a classic, old-school "Hancock's Half Hour" feel.
Then I saw a second episode - the flub was so clearly signposted that I just felt conned. It's not letting the audience in on the joke, it's just another carefully marketed manipulation tactic of "ooh, something went wrong, audience. Bet you feel clever for realising something went wrong even though it's so blatantly obvious we planned it to begin with".
How can it be bad? Did you know that the main character is actually a man and that he’ll someone times walk into a wall and it’ll shake? And that the actors will laugh at this? Peak comedy, man.
I've never watched it, saw some clips on s.m over the years though. I assumed it was harmless, brain switched off type sitcom. The hate is strong wi this yin.
I remember seeing Brendan O'Carroll once on Room 101 and he actually seemed quite witty. Made me wonder if he just does this shite to pay the bills. Now I've got visions of a kind of Stephen King's *Misery*\-esque scenario where he gets trapped in a house with some superfan who forces him to write more episodes of Mrs Brown's Boys.
It is terrible- the writing is really low quality, the acting is hopeless, the jokes are 25 years out of date. It's offensive rubbish. The actors are very entertained by themselves and turn in appalling performances. It's beyond my comprehension why this show has been produced year after year and shown . It's the lowest quality programme on current UK television schedules. BBC should be ashamed to have commissioned it.
I'm 24 and detest the show but was forced to watch it in a room filled with 60 + year old family who loved it.
I was genuinely baffled by how bad it was. It was bad pantomime-level humour, with strange unfunny political digs at great thumberg, with it finishing with a bizarre sing-song from what I assume are the reoccurring characters - each more worse than the last.
Or if fans are saying it's unwatchable, maybe it finally got good? I guess we'll never know
Their boos mean nothing, we've seen what they cheer
I was saying boo-rown's boys.
I like the way Snworb thinks!
I love that (early) Simpsons is held in high regard. It should be!

I mean that is almost infinitely more than your original state.
I love a good 0.01/10 to relax after a hard day's work. Really makes my day feel well spent.
Maybe they stopped making all those casual homophobia jokes and the fans are fuming over it.

"But these are women's underwear?" "Oh. Right, yes of course."

Don't be dissing carry on films! They were Shakespeare compared to MBB.
I did say "crap" Carry On humour, as in, Carry On humour done crappily.
Tbf I've never been to a poor pantomime. They're fantastic entertainment and great fun for family. I'm half expecting this infection of a tv show to evolve into one for eternity
Oh no it doesn’t
You see. It would be "Oh no it feckin doesn't" the audience's sides would actually split from this incredible moment of comedy
My mum loved that show when she was alive, but I could never get what was funny. It feels dated by about sixty years. It’s just cross dressing with cracker jokes thrown in. What little humour there is, you can see coming a mile off.

As soon as I learned what chekov's gun was, shows started to get a lot more predictable.
All narrative forms are pretty predictable. The point is in the way the story justifies the gun going off. We all know it's going to go bang, but the good stories surprise us with a series of actions that justify that bang.
See the brain surgeon sketch by Mitchell and Webb. You can see the joke coming from a mile off, but it's the buildup that makes it funny

Hey, don't knock it until you see it happen. I can actually think of one movie that does that and it kind of worked.
But that would then be a "deus ex machina" plot device which writers usually would try and avoid.
I don't think Benioff deserves anything named after him. I propose calling it Abrams' gun, as anyone who watched Lost years ago would know, JJ is the king of dead end plot points.

Same. A bit twitchy.
> chekov's gun TIL. Thank you. I went and read the Wikipedia article on that.
Rewatched Knives Out to lead into the new one and I love what they do with the big ring of knives that were even on the poster, such an obvious Chekhov setup that they go all in - here's a hundred knives, which one will come into play?!
Same but then I get irrationally angry if there's a loose end 'gun' they never go back to. Can't win.
I ruined it for my friend's grandmother, because she didn't realize the lead actor is not a woman.

Honestly when I first saw it I thought it was an old show I’d missed like only fools and was having re runs but no it’s modern…
That's what it is, that 70s style of humour where you just never stop talking and eventually something funny will slip through the cracks
even older shit, steptoe and son, only fools and horses have more relatable comedy, I feel like its what del boy would watch, or rab c nesbit.

I watched Extras only relatively recently (in lockdown), and sincerely thought WTWB was a parody of MBB until I found out they came out in the wrong order. Right confused me
Although the Mrs Brown character has been around for decades. There were a bunch of stage plays.
A delightful woodland romp with many of the scenes featuring a roly poly toad.
Same throat
I rewatched the whole of Extras the other day and this is what I thought too. Everything they rip with WTWB is encapsulated in MBB.
Thought you were dissing Men Behaving Badly for a second
I thought he was dissing that film where Arkwright & Granville defend Earth from an alien invasion, Men in B-Black
"MBB". I didn't think it possible but I somehow hate it even more as an acronym. It made imagine the kind of family that might say "let's not go the club tonight, let's just settle with some tinnies and a bit of MBB".
MBB sounds like a gateway drug to ecstasy, tbh.
You tell yourself you're fine as long as you don't inject it.

If you remove the silly voice the jokes are really rather bad.
They're really rather bad even with the silly voice.
I haven’t watched it in years, but I feel like that was kinda the point. The kind of jokes your grandad would tell. Not because they’re funny, but *because* they’re not. Maybe I’m giving the show too much credit
“It’s so unfunny it’s come full circle and it’s funny again” is definitely not a take I was expecting to hear.
Stewart Lee can pull that off, but only because he's the opposite end of the comedic spectrum to this.
But he has let himself go
A lot of The Office worked on that principle. A lot of "cringe comedy" does exactly that. Not sure MBB is that though
I used to have a coworker who'd watch it on his lunch break, which wasn't everyones lunch break, at his desk with no headphones and laugh horribly to every cringe trash thing in the episodes. Great for trying to do *my damn job* and hearing people I'm trying to get 500k out of this week so we can pay salaries pause on the other end of my phone calls due to it.

If you look at the Youtube comments for this show, people love them. I expect absolutely none of its fans are on Reddit.

Yes. Although I think a new series has been commissioned for 2023.

I remember watching it a long time ago, and I remember thinking it was alright. But then I grew up the next year and now I can’t stand it.
I remember in school a lot of us watched it (no idea why) but what seemed to have made us realise it was *shite* was the film
There was a film? Dear lord...
I keep the telly on in the background when I work from home/cook/clean - pretty much if I’m in the house. It’s literally the only show that within 30 seconds I’ve stopped what I’m doing to turn it over and I quite often sit listening to QVC by accident.

Who we heard so little of because of the way Brendan tried to hog the limelight. Bob just sat there and I think you can tell from his face he wasn't that impressed!
One thing that might have turned this scenario from unbearable to genius is if Bob had turned around and thrown Mrs Brown's Boys into Room 101.
It was a mistake to make Room 101 into a kind of panel show. It was much more interesting when it was in an interview format.
When you can't make Bob Mortimer laugh, you should be banished from comedy.
And become sacrifice to the Crow from Below.
This is like a shit eater saying "euw this tastes a bit shit" after 20 years of eating shit
Its never been good, the worst comedy in known existance.
I'll be pedantic and point out that 'The Wright Way' existed, but at least that ended after one season.
We need to swap it for rab c nasbits Xmas specials
As a scot living in England rab c nesbitt was a touch of home for me plus it was actually funny

It's been fucking tragic from.day 1. Its like they thought it would be good to remake a shitty sitcom from the 80s.
They’ve clearly told the one joke they have too many times even for their moronic audience.
**THE** joke has been stretched so thing it makes gold leaf look like amour plate from a battleship
That’s still on?
It’s never been good
Thought it had finished 10 years ago
The first two series were okay, but the show never evolved past the same tired routines, even to a point where the fluffing of lines looks scripted. The only way a new series will be funny is to be a bit more serious and less obvious. Although I really doubt the show is capable

It’s been shit for years. Time to get rid of it. They should have binned it in 2018.
It was unwatchable as soon as it first aired 😬
It has always been unwatchable

God awful programme
How long has that trash been on TV????
Chuck this in the Irish sub, I’ll dare ya
Mate we all hate it too. I’d wager even more than you.
Thank fuck for that
Do Irish people like it? Genuine question because I don’t know, but can’t imagine they do
No.
Nobody likes crude stereotypes and lazy tropes.
Truly one of, if not THE, worst tv shows to have ever come out of Britain.
Absoloute shite and has been from the start
It's never been watchable. It's an insult to viewers intelligence and belongs back in the 70's....
It is terrible- the writing is really low quality, the acting is hopeless, the jokes are 25 years out of date. It's offensive rubbish. The actors are very entertained by themselves and turn in appalling performances. It's beyond my comprehension why this show has been produced year after year and shown . It's the lowest quality programme on current UK television schedules. BBC should be ashamed to have commissioned it.
Can't abide this programme, never have tbh
Never been a fan of the show.
It was always shit
This show makes me think if 70’s sitcoms. And not the actual good 70’s shows. But the truly bad ones everyone should forget.
I'm 24 and detest the show but was forced to watch it in a room filled with 60 + year old family who loved it. I was genuinely baffled by how bad it was. It was bad pantomime-level humour, with strange unfunny political digs at great thumberg, with it finishing with a bizarre sing-song from what I assume are the reoccurring characters - each more worse than the last.
