Mrs Brown's Boys

I don't watch this show - I think it is abyssmal and not in the least bit funny BUT I am intrigued to know what O'Carroll said that seems to have caused so much offence!

It's widely reported but without any detail - is it really too awful to be quoted (even with asterisks)?

All I can find is //'... has apologised after making a joke in which a “racial term was implied” during rehearsals for an upcoming Christmas special.//

//More details of Brendan’s comments have not been disclosed publicly.//

From my search, apparently he was asked, by a chap with darker skin, whether he'd have a particular character on the show and he replied words to the effect of it was a good idea he hasn't had anyone of that colour on before and indicated his own face. Not a joke, just normal conversation as far, as I could find. But the social media went nuts as usual.

That happened in 2022.  This is about a scripted  joke in the sitcom.  Much as the cast pretend to ad lib and corpse the whole thing is very tightly scripted and rehearsed

I have credible information that a derogatory term referring to the  travelling community was used during rehearsals for the Christmas Special.
