Hysterical at times, funny most of the time.

It's 'laugh out loud' funny.
Questions that shouldn't be asked shouldn't be answered

Don't like it.  Tries too hard to be funny, if that makes sense.
That's just, like your opinion man.

Crudeness is not the same as comedy.  Mrs Browne puts the toilet in toilet-humour.   The 'pretending to forget lines' gag is almost  painful to watch.

Ah come on...you're not trying to suggest that the whole 'forgetting ' lines is scripted or something?  Heaven forbid!!! Whatever about anyone's opinion of it, and I think it's mildly amusing for a short burst, he has created a great Oirish Widow Twankey and people love it. Then again they loved Dame Edna too...but 'she' actually was very clever in her acts. He's just crude and that's a shame because it could actually be very funny

It's a poor ripoff of Caroline Aherne's Mrs Merton and Royle Family characters but without the wit and comedy.

Like other crap "comedies" like Father Ted,Mrs Brown owes its popularity in Britain to its portrayal and compliance with the Irish stereotype view there that we are all stupid,idiotic,foul mouthed,drunken etc

You can tell O'Carroll till you're hoarse that Mrs Brown's Boys is backwards-looking, full of whiskery gags and a bit coarse in its stereotyping. He professes to care not a jot. "Who gives a f**k?" he says. "It is what it is. There are people who will love it, and people who won't."
The people who love it are, says O'Carroll, "the audience that comedy forgot". Alternative comedy – the punk-comedy revolution of the 1980s – steered mainstream humour away from the working men's club and towards the student union. Mrs Brown's Boys is taking it back again
