OHMYGOSSIP — Brendan O’Carroll thinks it’s a comedian’s “job” to “offend”.
The ‘Mrs Brown’s Boys creator believes people should switch off TV programmes or leave the cinema if they get upset by things comedians have said.
The 66-year-old star told the Daily Star newspaper: “It’s easy to understand that some people do get offended by things.
“But that is why there is a remote control for the TV and that is why the cinema door swings both ways. Personally, I feel if you are not offending somebody we are not doing our job.”
Tyler Perry – who has collaborated with Brendan on the Netflix special ‘A Madea Homecoming’ – wanted the meeting of their two characters, Agnes Brown and Madea, to make jokes at their differences.
Tyler said: “I wanted to make something that will make us laugh but also address serious subjects.”
Comedian Brendan has joked he feels “left out” about not getting “cancelled” yet.
He said: “I must admit I almost want to get cancelled because with all these other things going, I feel a bit left out.
“But if the BBC write their policy on what goes on TV based on what’s said on social media then the BBC have lost a sense of their own being.
“It’s the audience that makes the call – and the best device for cancelling something is the remote control.”
On Monday (21.02.22), Brendan came under fire on social media for comments made while the pair appeared on BBC One’s ‘The One Show’.
After being asked if the ‘Don’t Look Up’ star might feature on his sitcom, Brendan joked: “So far we haven’t had anyone of his colour in there so I don’t know if we could have him in.
“But you know what, I’d love that, but I think more importantly I’d love to do another movie with him.”
The 52-year-old comic laughed and responded: “Nobody my colour,” as Brendan pointed to his face.
Tyler added: “Time to change the world. Diversity rules, here we go.”
