The gist of the plot is that there is a documentary crew following around Julian, Ricky and Bubbles, catching all their exploits on video, including all of the crime that they do. It is set in a Trailer Park out in Eastern Canada called Sunnyvale Trailer Park.
One of the reasons I really liked this show is because of the total absurdity of it all (kind of like the Toilet Gnome). They always have some scheme on the go, whether it be Freedom 35, selling gas in the Trailer Park, growing dope to just name a few.
This series gave rise to such memorable characters as Julian, who always had a rum and coke everywhere they went, even if in a car, or the best one was when they flipped their car, he still had the rum and coke getting out of the car.
Then there was Ricky, the ever loving dumbass, the guy who could grow pot like there is no tomorrow, and smokes like crazy.And of course Ricky can never say words properly.
Then there is Bubbles, the dude with the thick coke bottle glasses who is just, at first glance, one of the innocents around, but later ends up in jail with the rest of them. He also has around 2000 cats and lives in a shed.
Here are some highlights:
1. The Rush episode - this is a classic. Bubbles wants to go to the Rush concert, so Ricky and Julian try to help him get tickets, but they are beaten to it by the shows antagonist - Randy and Mr. Lahey. So as the show progresses, Ricky kidnaps Alex Lifeson and brings him to the trailer park for Bubbles, but is then forced to take him back to the arena for the show. They try to sneak in and lose their duffel bag of pot, at which point Alex smokes it. A must to see.
2. The Steve French Episode - Something is destroying the boys' pot out in the field, so they set a trap and catch a stoned cougar they call Steve French. As it is a large kitty, Bubbles decides to take it in to rehabilitate it and get it off the weed. Well at some point, the cougar gets loose in the park, eats Randy and Mr. Lahey's burgers, which are laced with viagra, and they ultimately return Steve to the wild, where bubbles is told: If you release him and he comes back, he is yours.
3. The Rita McNeil Episode - A classic of course, the boys are forced to quickly pick their last field of pot because the cops already destroyed all the others, and they hijack a bus, but it is no ordinary bus, it is Rita McNeil's bus (Ok for those of you outside of Canada, this is probably lost on you, but Rita was big as a fucking bus and quite famous until she died of a heart attack) and put this canadian star to work, with all her staff on the bus, picking their pot.
4. The Conky Episode - Bubbles has a tooth ache and needs to get the tooth pulled, trouble is that he is afraid to go to the dentist. Years ago in high school, Bubbles had a puppet called Conky, which literally channeled pure evil out of the harmless Bubbles. Julian and Ricky decide they must retrieve Conky, and it doesn't take long for the evil to come out. Highlights include Ricky getting stuff super glued to him on his body, such as a rag, a model trailer from a truck, and getting high from it. he tries to shoot Conky, but gets distracted by the H.S. Thompson bats. It ends up at the vets in a small shoot out where the vet pulls Bubble's bad tooth. Of course I would be remiss without a Youtube Link here.
There are more episodes I could put here, but you must just experience this series for yourself. You can catch all their stuff at Swearnet!!
