Our 14 favourite funny reactions to the news that Mrs Brown’s Boys will be around for years

Forget Marmite – Mrs Brown’s Boys is the real “love it or hate it” thing dividing the nation.

Mrs Brown's Boys is a rare thing. I can't think of another sitcom that engenders such extreme, polar opposite reactions. People appear to think it's either the funniest thing they've ever seen, or they'd be willing to join a terror organisation to ensure its cancellation.

Brendan O’Carroll‘s sitcom ran for years in theatres before hitting the screens, wins awards all the time and keeps getting commissioned – yet it’s almost impossible to find anyone with a good word to say about it. They must be out there somewhere.

On Thursday, there was news about the show’s future.

Mrs Brown’s Boys will air until at least 2026 https://t.co/zhpMSPKLWq

Sod it, have a big Christmas orgy and refuse the vaccine. In fact, destroy the vaccines. https://t.co/rcMFG6i3ti

Joking aside, I love that our shared hatred of Mrs Brown's Boys brings so many of us together.
