Anyone watch the Trailer Park Boys?
A coworker got me hooked on these clowns. Whoever comes up with the story lines is one twisted sumbitch. So far my favorite moments are when they roll the car and trailer full of dope and Julian crawls from the wreckage with his rum and coke still in his hand (unspilled) of course) and when Rickey kidnaps Alex Lifeson from Rush and Alex ends up wearing Rickey's clothes and Rickey accuses Alex of smoking some of their pot.

The show never fails to make me laugh.

Otherwise, I would never get to watch it either.

(though I am not sure if it still on there or not-I usually have to work on Thursday nights).

2. Yep, I see it up here in Canada.
It's hillarious. You should see the last episode of season 4.

Leahy: I'm gonna watch you boys like a shit-hawk. Like a shithawk.

Bubbles: But Ricky, Mr. Leahy said he's gonna watch us like a shithawk!

Ricky: Don't worry Bubbles, there's no such thing as a shithawk.


Or the ever famous: "We're in the eye of a shitacaine, Randy!"

3. I also like the episode with the mountain lion
that eats seven burgers laced with viagra and proceeds to molest Trevor. And Trevor is last seen running away in his underwear yelling "I don't want to talk about it! Leave me alone!"

Too funny...

6. Unreal how funny that show is.
The whole format, writing, acting and everything is brilliant. I've only seen the DVDs through season 3 and I crave more. Its really the only show on TV that can make me cry from laughing.
They were showing them on BBC America, but replaced it with some kind of lameness. I've written them a letter asking them to bring it back, and I suggest you do the same.
BTW, I heard that they (ricky, julian & bubbles) got to throw out the opening day first pitch for the toronto blue jays this year.
I would have loved to have been there!

7. I'm glad to see other DU fans
of the Trailer Park Boys! I was tipped off to the show by a post on another message board before BBC America began showing TPB episodes. I started watching and got hooked.

Now I own all of the DVD's, just received my set of season 4 episodes last week. The boys get funnier every season, I wish I could see the new season that just started airing in Canada.

I was able to get a copy of the 2004 Christmas special "Dear Santa Claus, Go Fuck Yourself". It is a prequel that takes place before Jamie was J-Roc, before Randy and Lahey were a couple, and before the Shitmobile was missing a door. It is now my favorite Christmas show of all time!

The Trailer Park Boys feature film is in production for release next year. It is being produced by Ivan Reitman, with Mike Clattenburg of the TV show directing.

If you haven't seen the boys yet, don't miss the chance to see them.

9. I've seen while I've been in Toronto. It's hysterical.
I love the show. It's just crazy as hell...I don't understand why they can't show it down here (Maybe HBO or Showtime could pick it up)

I like Julian the best. That constant drink in his hand. :-)

10. Haha, classic show
Haven't watched it in a while, but I should get back into the habit, because it's hilarious.

I love the episode where Ricky gets a job as a security officer at the mall while Bubbles is stealing shopping carts to sell to the other mall.

14. Gimme an R! eom
Alex to Rickey: "Can I tell you something? You're really disturbed."

Rickey to Alex: "This isn't kidnapping. I'm just borrowing you for a while."
