Not my choice of program I must admit.

Post by: Scunner on December 30, 2013, 23:17:46 PM
Why did that woman even mention you need a visa to enter Jordan? Ah, because they had a punchline to crowbar into the programme.

To me the definition of total cr4p.

I feel like I should love it because everyone else seems too but truth is that there are very few laughs in it and there has been a great leap in the F word to try to make it seem funnier..

Awful, awful - tried watching it, couldn't last more than 5 minutes. There's so much toss on telly pretending to be comedy.

Father Ted - where are you?

Ok some of the jokes re a bit obvious but if you can't laugh at it then you need to look for your sense of humour - 'cause you've lost it  ;)

Compared to other comedy drivell with its "Canned Laughter Machine" working overtime, this programme is pure genius. Our friends were lucky enough to win tickets to one of the "LIVE" shows being recorded for tv and they thoroughly enjoyed it.

Everyone has a different sense of humour. I doubt if you ever met anyone who knew me that I didn't have one. Being a Yorkie it is compulsory..I agree that there are the occasional funny lines but mostly as this years Xmas episode rehashed from last years.. They are running out of ideas..  Miranda???  not funny in the slightest.. This New Open all hours. Poor and dated.. Expecting the New Birds of a Feather to be bad as well. It is very telling that The BBC didn't want it...

I agree completely with Mercury`s comments...  like music, comedy is personal...   and personally I  have mixed feelings about Mrs  Browns Boys... possibly series one was better and why has he changed `fecking` to saying  f*****g ? in his latest episodes ? was that really neccessary... ? it really cheapens the show...and  I agree with Mercury about the very unfunny recent `still open all hours` truly awful...David Jason  cant replace the great Ronnie Barker .....no,  there really isnt  and haven`t been for years any decent `situation comedy`progs.  Watch UK TV Gold   and enjoy from the years gone by.. I  can watch them again and again   my  all time favourities are.....  `Only fools and Horses`  `Blackadder` `Faulty Towers`  `Vicar of Dibley ` and going further back in time   ` Hancock`s half Hour ` `The likely lads`   and further back my all time favourities `Laurel and Hardy shorts`  absolutely brilliant !!!   but as I said  its all personal    ;)

I have added a poll :D
Title: Re: Mrs Browns boys
Post by: mercury on December 31, 2013, 13:23:59 PM
Whey hey somebody agrees with me... Sleuth perfect choices.. The comedians of today think they are funny if they are loud and swear... The recent "comedy" awards was a shambles.. Don't get me started on Jonathon Ross.. Thinks he is really funny. I don't... I just think that if you need to eff and blind to be funny you need to change your job... and no I am not a miserable cow...

Comedy shouldn't revert to bad language unless its absolutely necessary (exception being step toe and son). For a comedy to revert to a bad language substitute (fek) and use it at every possible chance, is second rate. But each to their own, some do enjoy it.

We like it - it usually gives us at least one laugh out loud moment.  Little else does on tv at the moment.
Title: Re: Mrs Browns boys
Post by: Menthol on December 31, 2013, 17:03:51 PM
I like the poll. Already closed. Good one.

Someone mentioned Blackadder. Now THAT is comedy genius. The writing is superb, the acting and comedic timing excellent.

Someone once said to me that Blackadder was all about sarcasm and sarcasm isn't funny  :o  And they were British too.

My sense of humour is a little wacky if not dry, Scunner, I doin't find him funny at all, but there has been the odd occasion that has made me laugh, seeing him deported was one. 


The funniest man on the forum was Crabbit, but no one else laughed, a very mis-understood man.    ;)


Happy New Year.

I cannot really comment on Mrs Brown's Boys as never seen any of the various series other than the odd comedy clip on FB.  Whilst I love some of French & Saunders stuff, not all of it made me laugh, and I found a lot of Python and Rowan Atkinson (including Blackadder) somewhat infantile.  For me, my favourite comedy was audio, not visual.....I refer to the immortal Kenneth Horne and his ensemble cast....no Sunday afternoon was complete without Beyond our Ken or Round the Horne....

Ah, radio comedy - I remember my Dad absolutely rolling around the kitchen listening to The Goons.

Just watched Morecambe and Wise Part 2. Gentle, formulaic but quite clever too and some excellent timing. Definitely raised a nostalgic titter for me and TA.

Coronation Street is funny (it is a comedy, isn't it?)   ;)   and EastEnders, no ones lives are that zany and off the wall surely, though Calis comes a close second for so many reasons.  ;D  ;)

That's how jokes work Scunner. Eric and Ernie were masters at setting up the joke for the punch line. Same with a Fools and Horses. You could see it coming but still it's funny.

Title: Re: Mrs Browns boys
Post by: Scunner on January 02, 2014, 01:17:52 AM
Punchlines are beautifully approached, skirted around, forgotten and returned to in Only Fools and Horses. Can you give me one single example in Only Fools and Horses where someone comes out with a line totally unrelated to the episode (such as this example where suddenly, and without relevance to anything going on, someone blurts out a line about visas in regard to visiting Jordan)?

If you think Mrs Brown's Boys is in any way comparable with Morecambe & Wise or Only Fools & Horses then it's best you sit chortling away to your recorded episodes of Mrs Brown's Boys Stoop, you've quite obviously found your comedy level! I'm sure I have more of your type of comedy here which I can send up to Yorkshire to delight you - there's a Chuckle Brothers DVD here somewhere in the kid's collection!

If that's the case you need to either a) get out more often or b) watch more television.

Talking about comedy on tv here....  SHERLOCK  returned at last !!    what a breath of fresh air that was !!  comparing it to most of the drivel over christmas  and throughout the year .. Sherlock is  `slick` ... brilliantly written... highly entertaining, and  very very funny in a subtle way !!!! I  laughed  so much at last nights episode  :-)  one  comedic programme  and yes it is `comedy` at its best in my opinion ... it helps justifying having to pay for the tv license when we are in the UK  :-)
