Mrs Brown's Boys had viewers talking after their New Year's Day special. In the episode, Winnie said that her garden had been done "by the Gardai. They said they were looking for some stuff." This ancient joke sparked an online reaction from fans, with J.G. Moore tweeting "God, that 'buried it in the garden' joke is ancient. Put some effort in, Brendan." Colin Lingham added "Whoever's to blame needs to be sacked. Each episode is the same and the jokes are ALL 50 years old at least and the delivery terrible."
The creator and titular character of the BBC sitcom, Brendan O'Carroll, is not deterred by the criticism. In a recent interview with the Daily Star, he said "As long as the BBC keep asking, we'll keep making episodes. We are definitely making more specials, whether we do another full series or not depends on dates." He also addressed the subjectivity of comedy in a recent interview with BBC Radio Sounds, saying "What some people like, other people just detest. So I don't take it too serious."
Mrs Brown's Boys has been on the air since 2011 and is available to stream on BBC iPlayer. Despite the occasional criticism, the show remains popular with viewers. It looks like the show will continue to be a part of the BBC lineup for the foreseeable future.
