Yeah, a load of crap.

We can justify banning it by claiming 'Brown' is a racist term.

I've never seen it. It became popular while I lived abroad and my family members never mentioned it to me unlike The Inbetweeners.

Worth a try?

Inbetweeners has been removed from a channel on You Tube not to do with racism but because it’s on Britbox.

I've never seen it but it looks terrible. Would rather keep Little Britain and let this one go.

Why is it a joke? TV shows and films move between streaming platforms all the time.

Why is it so popular in the UK? Its really not popular here in Ireland although Brendan O'Carroll who is Mrs Brown is a funny guy.

I think it appeals to ex pats more than anything. I remember arriving into lime St in Liverpool for a game and when I walked out of the train station there was a giant banner of Mrs brown advertising a live show, I couldn't get my head around how it was so popular.

People are missing this fact, they pay for term contracts to show stuff. This is completely normal.

It's a joke that it's been removed from YouTube, Not everyone can afford Britbox or Netflix.

It never should've been made in the 1st place. I can't think of another British comedy show in recent memory that's been given so many plaudits for being complete toilet water. Utterly abysmal on every level.

It's still on the C4player on my Smart TV.

I really don't understand why Mrs Brown's Boys is so popular though. I think it's terrible but I wouldn't want it banned even though the one 'joke' within it is pretty lame.

It should be cancelled because it’s turgid 💩

posted on 11/6/20

“My family” and “Not going out” should be pulled too for crimes against comedy

posted on 11/6/20

Whilst I don't want Mrs Brown's Boys banned the irony is that if it were cancelled that would produce from me the biggest laugh associated with the show.

posted on 11/6/20

Don't know whether anyone here's seen the movie of it, but it has one scene in it that I still can't believe got past the censors. If you haven't seen it, imagine Brendan O'Carroll not only playing Mrs. Brown but temporarily playing an Asian martial arts teacher. Then, unless you've got a really wild imagination, it's probably worse than that...

I with those who don't really want to see it banned, but I'm also reassured that so many just think it's trash television.

So many people seemed to like it I was beginning to think I was the only one who was not getting the joke.

My parents watch Mrs. Brown religiously. I’ve never seen the fascination myself. It has its moments but not great overall.

Mrs Brown’s Boys has to be the biggest pile of shiiit ever subjected to television viewers. It should be removed on that basis alone.
