Mrs. Brown's Boys

A mad mixture of Father Ted, Bread and Miranda. The wife made me watch this as she came across it by accident. Brings back memories of my funny swearing grandmother who was incidentally very Irish. Very funny but not for the faint hearted as their are many f(s) After two episodes I am a fan and have saved as a series link. The cast also enjoy themselves with many unable to keep straight faces. Enjoyed the talking to the camera in the same way Miranda does. I hope they keep the quality up for the whole series and I am looking forward to more f(s). The walking behind the cameras is very clever. Thank you for a great comedy.

I can't get over how funny this is. I am 67, so have seen many brilliant comedies over the years but this is one of the funniest.The outtake aspect of it adds well to the whole thing. The first episode had my wife and i almost falling off the sofa in hysterical laughter. The series reminds me a bit of another low profile comedy "Still game", in it's own way almost as funny. The Miranda way of talking to the camera has always been something that i have quite enjoyed (As in "up pompeii"). Be aware that it's not for the more sensitive at heart, as it does include a lot of swearing.Let's hope it is not a one series comedy. More please.

I have to say, I find 'Mrs. Brown's Boys' absolutely wonderful. I loved it from the start. The show occasionally adds a serious message, and it always feels bold in doing so. It's crude, unapologetically un-PC, and honestly, what a breath of fresh air! Irish humour has always been something I love, and this show just enhances that feeling.

The portrayal of the matriarch, Mrs. Brown, is stunning, and the one-liners are side-splitting. How refreshing for a comedy to include outtakes in the transmission-it's clear the cast genuinely enjoys making it, and it adds to the charm. I particularly enjoy the conversations between Mrs. Brown and her daughter Cathy. The actress who plays Cathy always brings a real warmth and joy to those scenes-often laughing along with the gags, which feels genuine.

The earliest episodes were absolutely wonderful, but over time, the show has suffered a bit. The numerous Christmas specials have started to feel repetitive, though the occasional pop-up series has generally been solid. It's impressive how the show has survived the loss of numerous cast members, but I do miss Rory and Deano. Their absence is felt.

I think the BBC made a rod for its own back by signing such a long contract with Brendan O'Carroll. At times, it's felt like the show has been churned out, but when it's good, it's absolutely hilarious.

It's a pity they've focused on Christmas specials instead of full series, but I suppose it's tough to constantly come up with fresh material.

There have been some fantastic episodes over the years, and 'Supermammy' remains the funniest to date. I can't think of anything that made me laugh so much in a long time; I actually cried with laughter. If you're only going to watch one episode, make it that one.

8/10.

When I discovered Mrs Brown's Boys, I couldn't stop watching. I love the 3 set simplicity, the return to Milton Berle drag antics and the live audience, keep rolling approach - it is so refreshing. A current sitcom with a by gone era appeal - what a delight! The characters are quirky, the story lines are hilarious, and the situations are gut busting! If you have nothing to do on a rainy Sunday, watching the complete series is just the remedy for the dull drums. This American lover of British humor got her English fix by watching Mrs Brown's Boys. It's top notch and a definite must see. I can't wait for the next series to see what Agnes and her family does next!

I really expected to hate Mrs Brown's Boys. The format is very old fashioned, performances are OTT, the set & costumes look quite cheap. However, It's very funny & packed with quickfire gags, only a few of which fall flat. If you don't find one joke funny though, it doesn't matter because there are another 10 waiting round the corner & I don't care if some of them are old - they're still good. I actually find the old studio audience format refreshing & the addition of bad language & dirty jokes actually works pretty well. Plus, it's great to see the cast dropping out of character from time to time to have a giggle at the gags. They look like they're actually having fun! The pace of it is incredible & it really takes some talent to pull a sitcom like this off so well. it's not cool or edgy but so what? It's funny! So many recent comedies are not.
