Fifty Shades of Trailer Park Boys: TPB in the Great Comedic Traditions
The show is going to be one of Canada's classic comedies, and i suggest you see it. Like most people when I first saw this show I thought it was just another mindless low budget comedy series aimed at the dim-witted pot smokers among us. Then I watched it more and became mesmerized by the underlying brilliance, everything was not as it seemed, from the beautifully languid intro music, to the ingenious documentary style of filming.
Much like SCTV, it uses the low budget quality of the show, and turns that into a bonus. THe shaky hand-held camera, the occasional boom mic shot all blend perfectly with the mostly improvised dialogue. There's something uniquely Canadian about this, making the best out of the fewest resources, and it demonstrates the greatness of the show that it does not need huge production values to make you laugh your ass off.
And laugh you will as you watch the main characters, Ricky, Julian and Bubbles stumble their way through life. We have all met people like this, much like in the movie "Fubar", people who are completely ignorant and emotionally underdeveloped, yet very much content with their position in life. Both Fubar and TPB, the key is not to make fun of these people in a condescending way, look equally at their naive stupidity but also at their loyalty and innocence and genuineness.
This is an insult to Canadian Television and that's saying something! By rogueandkurt8 , Jun 18, The mindless drivel seen on Trailer Park Boys is enough to make you long for reality television. It is probably the worst show on tv. Just watching it makes you feel like your brain cells are dissintigrating! Please don't watch this offensive, pathetic attempt at humor and originality. The sooner it gets cancelled, the better.

This is one of the worst show i've ever seen in my life. By Ma-enn , Jun 18, This show has a lot of stupid jokes and rude languages, and all those jokes are very retarded and i dont find them funny AT ALL. It is such a shame on Canadians.
They arent what Canadians are like, they are just a bunch of idiots who are very ignorant and all they do it smoking weed and getting drunk. Showcase could obviously do better than this Bascially this show is completly waste of time and show case should definalty get rid of this ridiculously dumb show and put on some awesome shows like WEEDS! The funniest show in the trailer park. By Theophylaktos , Jan 03, Bubbles, Julian, and Ricky are three guys from the trailer park trying to make it big.
They pull off jobs that fail constantly or end up getting them arrested again and again. Bubbles with his stealing shopping carts so that he can feed his cats, Julian striving to set up a job that doesn't end with him or Ricky in jail, and Ricky with his visions of grandeur as well as trying to get back into Lucy's good graces, seems to get them into trouble with the law.
Either by Jim Lahey or Randy.
It is a show I will surely miss and hope to have a few surprises along the way. By maryasu , Dec 14, The characters are all well played and very over the top funny. My favourite is Lahey the drunk ex-cop now trailer park superviser at Sunnyvale Trailer Park. He takes his job really seriously and his assistant Randy is always shirtless with an unbelievably puffed out stomach.
Julian always has a rye and coke in his hand, and he always commits crimes with his stupid friend and the always hilarious Bubbles, so named because of his thick glasses. Check out the show if you haven't seen it it is very funny! By LukeSupernova , Oct 22, This is a fantastic show, not many can rival it. To last seven seasons and still be totally hilarious is outstanding.
It's extremely well casted, and it seems that the actors have a great time making the show; witch makes it a great time watching it too. It's completely underrated, and not given the credit it deserves here in the UK, if it was advertised at prime time, it would get a big audience. Trailer Park Boys recently lost two main characters, Cory and Trevor, but where as other shows would crumble, Trailer Park Boys grew stronger, with the longest season yet being the seventh, even without Cory and Trevor, it was a delight top watch.
I love this show and everything about it, and I hope they continue to bring us brilliant and classics moments for many years to come. Ricky, Bubbles, and Julian, the perfect trio for a laugh. With the boys getting on Lahey's and Randy's last nerve you know theres going to be trouble. We know they'll either go to jail most always happens or not, but we know for sure we will get a laugh. By walkerdoug , Jul 11, Three boys grew up together.
Being friends from the beginning, and having fun all the way. When they started they were humble kids, hanging out with Randy, until he got baked, then they left him. Pursuing a career, the boys try every way to make some money. Unfortunately, the one they hang out with-Randy-grew up to become assistant trailer park supervisor. Now, with every chance he and Lahey get, they try and thwart the boys hopes of becoming retired. Will the boys succeed, fail, or will one of them end in jail.
Well, for these answers tune into the Trailer Park Boys, Canada's finest show ever made. When you watch you are guaranteed to laugh at Ricky the clown, Lahey the drunk, or Bubbles and his kitties. So when you read "why did I watch," well when you watch an episode, you'll know why!

By luckycharms82 , Mar 05, This show is genius I love Bubbles the best, and Conky. And the way he says 'FFFack Ricky! Dave TV should pick it up One of the best comedies out there, and certainly tops among Canadian television. By Idbeolderifiwas , Feb 21, The Trailer Park Boys are some of the funniest people on Earth. They are always scheming to make whatever money they can, whether that be from stealing and selling meat, to growing marijuana, their constant struggle to make an easy dollar is truly hilarious.
My favourite character is probably Ricky, due to the fact that he is the one who spearheads most of the stupid get rich quick schemes that they get themselves into.
Not to mention he is one of the most original and hilarious characters of any television show out there. Trailer Park Boys is back for an 8th season and a 3rd feature film in !

And it is Bubbles as the superego who has to explain how morally wrong it is to stand in front of a church on Christmas Eve selling dope. And consider how these characters interrelate on a more primal level: Id Ricky goes to ego Julian for guidance throughout the series; ego Julian goes to superego Bubbles for guidance; the superego in turn urges ego Julian to control id Ricky.
For the id, the governing principle is pleasure; for the ego, it is social expedience; and for the superego, it is moral awareness. In short they are desire, restraint and the morality which results from the one meeting the other. Perhaps in no other modern work of fiction do we see such a clear illustration of this concept than in Trailer Park Boys. A look at how Julian, Ricky and Bubbles fit into the tradition of the comedic trio may shed some light on that subject. Read more articles from fletcherrhoden.
