I didn't think it was that funny either, except that some of his observations were pretty accurate.
BTW post one of the funniest videos you've seen

The subtlety, nuances, biting social commentary and capture of the zeitgeist of these times to brilliant comedic effect is why Mrs Brown and her Boys is such a gold standard telivisual feast.

To be fair you have to have a very high IQ to understand Mrs Brown's Boys. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Mrs Brown's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into her characterisation- her personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Mrs Brown's Boys truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Mrs Brown's existential catchphrase "Hello!," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Brendan O'Carroll's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Mrs Brown's Boys tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

If I put on a dress, like my heroine Agnes Brown, can I see your tattoo?

I’ll make tears from your Wines.
Why? It’s the same cheese.
I bet their sales go down whatever you think of the issue it was constant brand for a gazillion years it'll hurt them.
Its now 98% Racism Free.

So that makes it better, unless of course one is racist and will therefore boycott the cheese because they can’t call it something racist.

My only criticism is that this has been building for a number of years and the best they can do is “Cheers”
Sack the ******* marketing department.
