Mrs Brown's Boys is terribly unfunny. It's comedy for those who need to be told what is funny.
Least funny programme I've seen in the last decade or so, which given that includes 'Miranda', 'Life of Riley', 'Not Going Out' and 'Outnumbered' is a pretty hefty badge to wear.Definitely the pick of the Christmas tv schedule. Very funny, lost bladder control watching part two tonight, cannot wait for the new series.
I've known Christmas cracker jokes funnier than Mrs Browns Boys. The jokes are weak and obvious and then desperation prat falls and swearing come out.
The funniest t.v was the triple comedy bill on channel 4 on Christmas Eve.
8 out of 10 cats
Peep Show
Friday night Dinner
Loads of swearing in all three of those but at least they had the decency to be funny.
Agreed. Miranda and Mrs Browns boys both remind me of the sort of thing Ricky Gervais took the piss out of with 'When the whistle blows'. I caught the end of Miranda today and they al look to the camera and wave whilst saying Happy Christmas, are you f***ing kidding me? Imagine that on Peep Show, The office or Blackadder.
I don't get it, I don't get Miranda either, both make me cringe at their non funniness.

I understand slapstick fine. I'd much prefer to be watching Laurel and Hardy, Harold LLoyd, The Marx Brothers or WC Fields to....well, anything really but Mrs Brown's Boys...I don't think so.Those who don't laugh at Mrs Brown's Boys just don't understand Slapstick comedy. I just watched it and it was very very funny. Some people eh? TNBA TTF

It was the Joe bit I found pretty unfunny to be honest. Always loved the Royles for it's very realistic portrayal. I just didn't find the Joe bit realistic, the rest was a good giggle though.

You wait if Trufflehound sees you describe The Marx Bros as slapstick on here.
