Worst BBC 'comedy' ever - Mrs Browns Boys?

[Pony Princess]

Anyone watch this fucking travesty of a programme last night? Christ, it was like watching Extra's 'When the Whistle Blows' except without the camp appeal.

 

Imagine my surprise when I googled this show, to try and find some reviews for last nights ep - I realized that the 'Unfunniest TV show' (mrs browns boys determined to be the most unfunny programme on tv) was actually in its 2nd series. Thats right, they recommisioned it.

 

Fucking hell, the BBC must have cunts of gold to throw money at this shite. Next time the TV license man comes round to ask why I don't pay I'll get the laptop out and show him some of these bad boys.

 

BBC One - Mrs Brown's Boys, Series 2, Mammy's Coming!

[Champ]

LIke you I couldnt believe what I was watching...like being in some kind of time warp. Shite

[JohnnyH]

Is correct. Utter utter horsehite. Consider yourselves lucky though as we've had to put up with this god awful show for years in Ireland, and it's even less funny "comedien" who's a complete fucking bellend.

[sparta7]

I havent seen this, but I refuse to believe it is worse than:

My Family

or

Three Pints of Lager & A Packet of Crisps

 

Go on, it cant be.

[lifetime fan]

Worse than Trollied or The Cafe?

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Lots of people on my Facebook news feed absolutely rave about this show. It is unequivocally the biggest pile of steaming tramps shit I have ever had the displeasure of watching. Poorly acted, poorly scripted, with likeable character count of precisely zero.

Two pints has its moments.

 

But it is most definitely in the same league as My Family. Worse IMO.

[Josef Svejk]

It's a guy. In a dress. Pretending to be a granny. Saying outrageous things.

 

Ergo, it's a toilet bowl full of turd.

[Josef Svejk]

It's been commissioned for a third series, too, by the way.

 

Incidentally, in terms of the BBC (re)commissioning the show, is it acceptable procedure to hire family members who can't act as cast members and have the public foot the bill?

 

Wiki: "Many of the main cast is played by O'Carroll's family. For example, Cathy Brown is played by his wife, Winnie McGoogan by his sister, Maria Nicholson by his daughter, Buster Brady by his son and Betty Brown by his daughter-in-law. The character of Dermot, is played by the actor who was also a very close family friend, and regarded very much as his real life adopted son."

I've never seen it but it's got quite a good rep hasn't it? Can't be worse than My Hero.

[Scott_M]

Worse than Babes In The Woods?

[Trucker Paddy]

Its shit

[Trucker Paddy]

Worse than Babes In The Woods?

 

At least that had eye candy

[Pony Princess]

I've never seen it but it's got quite a good rep hasn't it? Can't be worse than My Hero.

 

I actually used My Hero as the marker and I consider from what I've seen, Mrs Browns Boys to be worse. Its actually filmed in front of a live audience and good lord, these mongs love it. I'd recommend watching last nights episode just to understand where I'm coming from.

[torahboy]

Just watched a few minutes of it on the BBCiplayer. Not good. But this fucking drek is going on at the Echo Arena later in the year.

 

I know this O'Carroll guy has had quite a bit of success in Liverpool with earlier versions of his creation, Mrs Brown, but surely even those who enjoy this comedic antiquity can't be so numerous as to fill the arena. Please say it ain't so.

Chilean Mine Starting To Sound Not Bad

26-08-10

 

BEING trapped down a mine shaft in Chile for four months is starting to sound not too bad, men across Britain said last night.

 

As the 33 miners were told they may not be out by Christmas, British men immediately pointed out that meant no commuting, free food pellets and a 16 week long, all-expenses paid farting competition.

 

Tom Logan, from Hatfield, said: "Okay so you wouldn't see your wife for four months, but my wife's a fucking pain in the arse.

 

"Also, I wouldn't be crammed in, bumcheek to bumcheek, with dozens of sweaty proles before being spewed onto a platform and dragging myself to an office where I'm surrounded by stupid bloody women talking shit all day."

 

He added: "Plus, they're sending down anti-depressants, which, if you mix with vodka or whisky, could certainly make at least two or three weeks just fly by."

 

Roy Hobbs, from Doncaster, said: "I imagine there will be a couple of weeks of Fight Club but you can always just take a dive in the first round and spend the rest of the contest betting with your happy pills.

 

"The only slight problem I can foresee is that it will absolutely fucking stink. I've been scouring the papers for any mention of toilet facilities, but so far nothing. Then again we are talking about 33 men so I imagine it has already developed into a contest over who can generate the most evil, puke-inducing stench. Jammy bastards."

 

Martin Bishop, from Stevenage, said: "Apparently they have over a mile of tunnels to play with. Those men are going to have the best game of Cowboys and Indians in the history of the world.

 

"And of course when it comes to matters of sexual intercourse, I assume there will be a general rule of 'what happens in the shaft, stays in the shaft'."

 

Tom Logan added: "I've just realised that because it's a group of men 700m underground there is no possibility of anyone at any point watching Grey's Anatomy.

 

"I wish we still had mines in this country. Fucking Thatcher.

Last of the summer wine, it actually makes me angry when I think about it, I don't even think I've watched an episode I just know that it's pretty much the worst thing off all time and I hope they're all dead. Vicar of dibley aswell, Trigger being anyone else but trigger is fucking disastrous.

[Duff Man]

Mad About Alice is probably the worst I've seen.

[captainharris]

I like it.

 

First time I seen it I thought it was utter shit, then I caught the start of another episode and found it to be pretty funny.

 

Sometimes I don't want 'clever' comedy - It's easy to watch, daft and doesn't take itself too seriously.

[Creator Supreme]

I like it, I laughed, that's all I'm looking for from a show.

 

Neg away.

[md1892]

It is by far the worst 'comedy' i have ever seen.

 

I would rather have kidney stones again than watch this shite

 

I would rather watch the X factor .... there i've said it !

[Jairzinho]

Gimme gimme gimme.

[The Woolster]

I nominated it in the Worst TV programme thread a couple of months back. I've never seen anyhting worse

[markcd]

worse than Miranda? holy shit

[The Flâneur]

I think it's post-modern irony at it's very finest. Only by appearing to be an atavistic pile of lazy, clichéd horseshite itself can it be so.
