He must be doing something right if he's able to put on shows for the last 10 years. It's a bit of fun on a Christmas night.. the show isn't harming anyone.. and as someone said earlier, if you don't like it.. then don't watch it..simple as.. but no point commenting that its shite or whatever if you haven't watched it. There's a lot of begrudgers that doesn't like to see people doing well unfortunately  Some people are very quick to criticise the show and ask for it not to be shown anymore but at the end of the day, he has lots of staff working behind the scenes and I'm sure a lot of them rely on wages coming in from this show.. |

"Seems ppl are loosing the irish sense of humour. In the times were in, isn't it nice to have something to smile about, so don't be knocking it   "
Unfortunately there's so many begrudgers in this Country who hate seeing people become successful |

"I thought it was grand. Always nice to see Betty, weak for that accent.

Dont watch it at all as think its vastly over rated, but in terms or brendan I do think fairly highly of him, never forgot where he came from and does alot for charity and svp etc so if some enjoy his show, get a laugh, he and his family makes a few quid and he supports local Irish charities then whats wrong with that |

I just dont get it. I tried several times. Find it awful shite... anyway I'm glad he is doing well over the water and that so many people enjoy it. Thankfully we have Tommy Tiernan, Graham Norton, Aisling Bea, Dara O Briain, David O'Doherty, Chris O'Dowd etc who are also popular and represent Irish comedy internationally so well! |

That was really good, but I'm sure there will be plenty who will complain about this comedy too  |

"Mrs Brown's Boys is comedic garbage without an iota of artistic merit; it baffles me why it is so popular.
I suspect it appeals to people of a similar ilk to the fans of Roy Chubby Brown."
Equally bad at comedy but in fairness brendan o carroll isnt remotely racist,as far as I know
brown, and his fans, very much is |

"Awful awful show and he always struck me as a very unpleasant person. "
Whatever about the show I've known him since the late 80's when he was on the road with a band called The Blues Brothers and he was sound then..had some work dealings with him
Now when he plays here every few years he makes sure one full day of show takings go to The Saint Vincent De Paul....I think 300k each time....thats a good thing to do |

And Sharon Horgan...
Catastrophe is one of the best sit coms recently for anyone who hasn't seen it.
As for MBB I don't like it but I know loads of people who literally howl at it so he must be doing something right |

It's also a great PR thing to do. I always find it difficult to take the likes of Bono and Brendan O'Carroll seriously they pontificate about charity while making everyone effort possible to avoid paying taxes.

Philanthropy may be completely unnecessary or certainly less so if governance around taxes was better .
Instead it becomes a vehicle for some to have great PR whilst simultaneously avoiding or even evading taxes .
A couple of years ago in the U.K. out of the top 10 richest only Dyson was paying tax |

I simply do not like Brendan O'Carroll's style of humour; Gay Byrne was quite fond of him and he appears with Joe Duffy on occasions, such as Grafton Street, Christmas Eve.
But there is an inherent insincerity about him.  |

I gave up watching it a long time ago. It's one joke being flogged endlessly and isn't funny anymore.
It's not as if we're short of other channels to watch though so maybe use that remote for the purpose it was invented and switch over rather than getting your knickers in a twist.
It's very easy to avoid an artist/group/comedian/celeb these days. Just watch or listen to something else instead of feeling triggered.
There are lots of movies or TV shows I've never watched simply because of who's in them.
There are lots of threads I've never posted on simply because of who starts them.
There are lots of threads I've never posted on simply because of the subject matter.
Freedom of choice is great.

All the ad libbing and mistakes are written into the show
When you work the show you see them every performance and sometimes even in the dress rehearsal |
