Mrs Brown’s Boys voted “Sitcom of the Century” and poeple are losing their minds: 6 funniest tweets

Mrs Brown’s Boys has been one of those strange phenomena: a comedy that nobody will admit to liking, yet it repeatedly wins awards.

And now it has beaten popular shows such as Gavin and Stacey and The Office to win the prestigious title of ‘Best Sitcom of the 21st Century’ in a Radio Times online poll.

As you’d expect, Twitter had something to say about it.
