‘Mrs Brown’s Boys’

Post by Daily Express bot »

Does anyone find this Series funny? I have seen about 20 minutes of random clips across a series and cannot understand its appeal. Found a bloke dressed up as a woman swearing profanities, very outdated and crass but essentially did not find it even mildly amusing.

I read today their Christmas Special has a clip of an actor snogging his real life father on the lips (the actor who plays the Mother.

I think it is rubbish.

It’s the only show that was banned from my tv yday. Awful throwback with tax evaders starring.

It really is awful. A large part of the cast seems to be comprised of members of the main character's family which is taking nepotism to a whole new level. Still, I suppose it's the only way most of them will ever get any work.

The unfunny premise aside the writing is terrible and the cast talentless

I don't know anyone who watches it, but would judge anyone who does incredibly harshly.

It's awful, but I would still rather watch it than Last Of The Summer Wine

Never seen the appeal of watching a bloke dressed as an old woman who's catch phrase is fickin.
Some people are easily pleased I suppose.
