Any other fans of this delightfully stupid Canadian comedy series? A bunch of hilarious losers and their misadventures in a trailer park filmed mockumentary style ala Spinal Tap.


First 5 seasons, I believe, are available on DVD. Pretty good from the start but it starts getting way funny around year 2 or 3.

Yeah, Tar, may or may not be your style--no hats! It's a huge hit up north. It's my guilty pleasure for sure.


A few representative quotes:

Mr. Lahey: Where ya stayin', Rick?
Ricky: At the f*#k-off hotel, Lahey.


Randy: ...I want my barbeque.
Ricky: You know what Randy, you're totally right and you know what I'm gonna do for ya?
Randy: What?
Ricky: Jack Sh#t,


Conky (ventriloquist dummy operated by Bubbles): Oh, those were excellent negotiation tactics you used, Patrick Swayze.
Julian: That's not funny, Bubbles.
Conky: [singing] Ohhh my Julian, my handsome Julian Patrick Swayze you were so f*#kin sexy in Road House and f*#kin' Dirty Dancing.

Yo,

That is one of my favorite shows. I saw the first three seasons on BBC America then they dropped it? I was waiting for the DVD's to hit the stores but they never did?

What gives? Where do I get the DVD's?

The best show was when Ricky had to take care of Trinity and she shoots him in the ass with the hand gun.

Yeah, gread show. I have known Sara (the redhead on the far left) since we were 4 years old, and her father John Dunswarth (Mr Lahey, second from the right) is a good friend of my father. I drove by the Sunnyvail Trailer Park set just the other day on my way to a local hiking trail. We see them filming around Halifax and Dartmouth a lot.

I heard that they Bleeped out the swearing when they aired it in the US. I would think you would loose half the meaning then. Those guys have a thousand shades of meaning for each four letter word. It is all in the intonation. Great show.

The Bubbles character really adds a lot to the show. He was not in the original (black and white) Trailer Park Boys movie (where Ricky and Julian are hired hit men for pets), so it was not quite as funny (although refreshing at the time). Bubbles is played by the same guy that played the sound man who got shot in the end of the original movie. They have a new full cinema movie coming out soon, so those of you who have not seen the show may be able to catch the movie.

On Amazon everyone that has revieved the DVD set is from Canada. Janet, do you have the 4 season DVD? On Amazon they want $140 dollars for it. How much did you pay?

My concern is that the DVD has encoding for Canada and not the US?

Will the DVD work on my American DVD?
