The stomach-churning scene left viewers at home feeling grossed out and questioning the show's comedic choices.
Uncomfortable Advances and Awkward Moments
In the special episode, titled "A Christmas Dinner," Cathy Brown (played by Jennifer Gibney) decided to take on the task of cooking Christmas dinner for the first time, while Agnes (played by Brendan O'Carroll) hoped for a peaceful day with her family. However, things took a bizarre turn when Buster Brady (played by Danny O'Carroll) made multiple advances towards Kathy, played by Gibney. After being rejected once, Buster found himself alone in the kitchen with Mrs Brown and attempted to win her affections by pulling out mistletoe. The scene culminated in a long and intimate kiss between Buster and Mrs Brown, played by O'Carroll.
Real-Life Family Dynamics Unsettles Viewers

Taking to social media, fans voiced their disapproval of the scene, with one person jokingly apologizing on behalf of the Irish for the show. Others called for a break and a reassessment of the cast and material, claiming that the comedy had lost its touch. The incestuous nature of the scene left some viewers feeling physically sick, while others found it fascinating that the show featured a real-life family playing a fictional family.
