Brendan O’Carroll as Agnes Brown in Mrs Brown’s Boys
It’s nice to see Mrs Brown’s Boys
Go to Britain and make a big noise
It will brighten your day
In an old fashioned way
And spread its traditional joys.

I liked it when “A Nation Once Again” topped the greatest song of all time poll. We’re gas craic when it comes to polls!
I can’t stand the show, but I have to admit I do feel a pang of pride when I hear about how well it’s doing across the world.
Not my cup of tea but fair play. It’s won a Bafta and National Television Award and is doing very well in Britain.
So is a few lads tarmacking drives in London, doesn’t mean we should be proud of them either.
Will someone please think of Mrs Slocombe’s Pussy !
Remember the time she left Winston clinging to the curtains…? The mere sight of her Pussy drove him mad….
There are 84 years still left in the 21st Century.

BOC’s utter steaming pile of tripe riddle s**t was lapped up by the same belligerent, ignorant type of casually racist scumbags who voted Brexit. This show was complicit in playing to reinforcing the sense of superiority of that section of the British population that still see use as a bunch of dumb Micks with a spud in the hand and pig under the arm, while they see themselves as members of the greatest nation on earth and not a floundering island built on corrupt financial dealings that would make Charlie H blush with everywhere outside of London filling up on council estates that hangs on to an antiquated class structure that makes a mockery of their democracy and the idea that Brexit was about taking back control.
…… aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand breathe.
Not everything is about Brexit, man…
It is when you live in the UK…. But my point is the kind of people who like Mrs Brown trousers are hte same kind who tell my Portuguese colleagues on the morning of the result “Oh, didn’t you hear? Time for you to fupp off home now, you’re not welcome…. Bye bye”., or abused British people of colour on a bus in Manchester, in other words those who voted Brexit. It’s a descriptor. The reason that tripe did so well is BOC sold out his Orishness to play up to this bunch’s stereotypical attitudes of the Mick.
I can agree totally. Even these days, being Irish in the U.K. I still get the phrase
“Speak English” I don,t understand you.
Do they understand the back of your hand ?
‘D’yeh understand “fupp right off”,’ is the correct response.
So Mrs Brown caused Brexit? There’s a headline
No of course not, but it’s the type of “comedy” enjoyed by those who voted for it.
Lets not forget BOC making tasteless Jewish jokes on QI to Stephen Fry (who’s father was Jewish). He plays to the lowest common denominator.
Let’s not pretend that this show is anything other than lowbrow sh*te. Nob gags, laughing at gays and women’s bits.
BOC himself said that there was a huge section of TV public who were left behind when Hi-di-hi/ ‘Are you being served’ type shows were done. The rise of alternative comedy left them behind. He provided something which the market required.
Still, it really is awful rubbish.
Not my cup of tea at all but my da almost laughs himself into a coronary at every episode. Fair play to BOC, 25 years graft to become an overnight sensation and showing loyalty to the (mostly untalented) family and friends who’ve been with him since it was on the radio. He’s found his niche at the right time and is making hay while the sun shines. Can’t fault him for that.
+1 Seems like a decent bloke and lots of people like his work. Kudos, etc.
my auld fella is in stitches when it comes on .. the rest of us leave him to it
I’m fierce fond of myself and my notions and enjoy being sniffy about stuff as much as the next fella but it makes me laugh. I’ve always been a fan of puerile humour, though.
It may be oul guff but BOC has done well with this oul Carry-on / How’s yer Father comedy, and certainly found an eager market for it. Good luck to him and I’m sure his charities and staff are delighted.
Life is hard.
Brendan has found a gravy tap. And it doesn’t cost me anything.
Fair play to him.
It’s still bad though, very very bad. Bad show. It’s bad. So bad. I don’t like it. Bad.
