Has anyone seen Mrs Brown's Boys

Love it ,and it follows Miranda,who has grown on me,xxx

I think it is one of the funniest comedy programmes on TV at the moment - always makes me laugh. (husband can't stand it!)

That's a bit of a moot point, Nfk some people think it is, others think that it's not and is therefore ok to use!

Oh - is feck just Irish for 'f**k?

I enjoy it. It is adult humour I know but I love it. It's pure farce and they look like they are having great fun making the show.

"She" uses the Irish word "feck" on some occasions, but most certainly uses the other version as much, if not more so.

And she always has a little something to say at the end of the programme - a wee moral to the story! I think you may be right, petallus, maybe she doesn't actually say the 'f' word. I'll listen out for it tonight.

I laugh out loud as well. Actually i don't think She says the F word, just an approximation.

Mrs Brown seems such a cosy safe sort of personality. Reminds me of women who were around in my childhood.

Exactly, Gilly! Just what is needed sometimes.

Love Marmite. Can't stand Mrs Brown.

I adore it. Makes me scream with laughter. Winnie's sex obsession makes me howl.

The fact that it is so "pantomimic and undemanding" is why I like it Ariadne . I know it's not to everyone's taste but it makes me laugh.

Yes I agree cheelu a good laugh does you the work of good !

oh yeah me too gillybob, I loved it when the camera man broke a window!!, it really is like taking a pill to heal all when I watch it.....

It is totally pantomimic, undemanding and crude. But I like it! No intellectual processes involved, because it is so unreal!

It makes me laugh out loud too cheelu but there again I do like that kind of "simple, silly" humour. I love the fact that things often go wrong with props falling over and the camera man popping into shot every now and again. I would thoroughly enjoy watching one of the live recordings which I could imagine would be a scream. My husband hates it by the way, but there again he is a man with - an almost non existent a complicated sense of humour. [ grin]

Yes Buster is the son.

And is one of the boys not his son? Is it Buster?

Winnie who plays Mrs Browns friend is his sister in real life.

I didn't realise the woman who plays the daughter is Brendan O'Carroll's wife. That explains why there is such good chemistry between them.

No Ella not a first . thought i better make an effort re the Burns Lunch i will be attending on the 25th, looking forward to meeting everyone again .

marsco - Head Lurker indeed! It was you who told me about Mrs Brown's Boys - you couldn't believe I'd never watched it!
Mrs Brown reminds me of my late mother-in-law.....same cardigans, same knickers, same way of walking about clutching a tea towel. Old J didn't swear though but she did have a very risque sense of humour .

marsco Is this a first? I thought you were Head Lurker?

Definately not canned laughter Nelliemoser, i went to Glasgow last year where they made the last series. Tickets were free and we spent almost 4
hrs there just for them to make one episode.We had a great time never stopped laughing. Most of the cast are related, great viewing,hilarious.

cheelu Relax!

I class my self as very intelligent ( a bit dizzy blonde sometimes) but I find Mrs Brown's boys very funny it gives a bit of light relief but I appreciate the fact that it is not to everyones taste,there was a recording of the programme in Liverpool just before Christmas and the tickets had been sold out since August so very popular indeed.
