Mrs Brown's Boys and Citizen Khan.....
Discussion
I cannot in my wildest moments imagine how anybody managed to sell the concept of MBB to the BBC in any shape whatsoever, let alone with a prime slot on BBC1. What were the lot of them thinking? And does anyone know anybody with an IQ higher then 1 who actually enjoys it and/or finds it funny?

Exactly; it beggars belief that the BBC commissioned this crap. Schoolboy humour of the lowest level. Mind you, much the same can be levelled at CK. and don't get me started on Miranda OP - no amount of clever make up can disguise the fact these programmes are dire

I was taking the piss out of my 55yo colleague yesterday as he took his 17yo son to see it when it was on at the cinema; it's bad enough admitting to watching it on telly, however to spunk £30 on a trip to the cinema to see that utter tripe; well!He thinks it is hilarious.
Add Miranda to Citizan Khan and Mrs Brown and you have my list of the least funny 'comedy' shows even produced in the entire history of British Television.
Compare them with Porridge and Only Fools and they're not even in the same league.
Mrs Brown takes a lot of material and lines from Father Ted.

I quite like it. (152, for the record )But I'm weird.

I saw Mrs Browns Boys once. I couldn't believe it wasn't a parody.
Never have I seen such pathetic and derivative poo.
I would happily spend a day flushing the commissioning editors head down the toilet for lowering the bar to that level.

It's actually worse than the Sit-Com in Extra's where the whole conceit is that it's a really awful, dumbed down load of trite rubbish that panders to the lowest common denominator.
Quite how the BBC can commission both programmes is borderline hilarious.
