It might be Christmas but Mrs Browns Boys left one hell of an easter egg for its devoted Irish audience – with a vagina gag running through the entire festive episode.
Brendan OCarroll revealed ahead of the Christmas special airing that the Maggie, a shamrock-shaped Alexa-inspired wifi assistant, is a cheeky joke for fans as its based on an Irish slang term for a womans nethers.
He revealed: I must let you in on an in-joke, I deliberately called it a Maggie. Those that arent Irish wont know that in Ireland, its a derogatory term for a ladies part.
So I called it a Maggie. So when its going out on television in the UK, people will be going “oh, its called a Maggie” but in Ireland, when Mrs Brown says “Hold on a second, let me ask Maggie”…theyll be sure to be [shocked]. But it was fun to do!

Despite Mrs Brown growing attached to the device, Brendan said that he didnt quite gel with a real Alexa himself.
I had it in the house for about a week, he said. I went “somethings wrong when Im starting to argue with a fucking machine!” so I got rid of it.
On tonights episode of Mrs Browns Boys, Agnes buys the knock-off device as part of Buster and Dermots latest money-spinning scheme ahead of Christmas day.
However, Kathy has to step in when she has trouble figuring out how to use it.
Then, when she discovers an Irish setting, Maggie starts become a bit too sharp-tongued for her own good and starts mouthing off at the family.
Meanwhile, Mrs Browns also recruited to take part in the towns annual Christmas light competition, and goes all out to make sure that she wins the prize, ending with a snow machine in a very suspicious area of Granddad.

But there was a sweet moment added on when Buster, after being catfishes by an online date, asks out Kathy for a drink.
Is romance in the air for the pair? (Probably not, seeing as in real life they are step-mum/son.)
