For me I like to think that Ricky got it all together for his family long before Trinity grew up, that is, I fully reject the notion that Ricky literally doesn't care about her and just wants to be in jail or keep risking it.
I love the comfy moments like when J-Roc hooked up Bubbles with tons of channels in his van for a bit.
The episode with Sebastian Bach is way better than it has any right to be, so many great moments.
>Well, dude did you not notice all the hair and bees on it?
(words to that affect)
Conky is an intersting paranormal diversion for the show too and "he" is canonically some kind of evil entity that can think and talk without Bubbles, if you pay attention.
Too many wonderful soulful moments to post here, trailerbro.
Yeah the comfiness might actually be my favorite aspect of the show. I love the humor too but there's just something about them making living in a trailer park look not so bad.
>there's just something about them making living in a trailer park look not so bad.
Because it really isn't a lot of the time. I live in a suburb, but not ten miles from me there's some comfy parks like Sunnydale, places where they don't tolerate people like Ricky or Lehey, but usually they're reserved for people that are at least 55 and up.
One of my grandma's lived in a nice comfy trailer park, and she had a neighbor who was in his 40s, but for some reason they let him stay because he played piano quietly and was pleasant and did favors now and then too I think, so it can happen, trailer parks can be nice.

pet peeve soh-ree
I'll give you a hundred bucks to fuck off
Fuck off with this evil filth.
>*takes the hundo*
>*doesn't fuck off*
You think TPB is evil filth? Well, it might be now, I haven't watched much of the Netflix seasons and I pirate those, so whatevs.
based connoisseur
I love the small characters like Donny, the guy who drinks and scream and it's almost never really on-screen
For me, Jonathan Torrens broke the mockumentary immersion. Since he was already a minor Canadian tv celebrity before TPB.
Just a minor quibble, however. J-Roc is still funny and TPB one of my favorite shows of all time.
The original run was lighting in a bottle, and yes I include season 6 & 7.

Comfy and funny. Simple as
It's honestly the comfiness. These people live in trailers, they're coming up with all these silly hustles, but at the end of the day they acknowledge each other as being parts of the same struggle to be rich and happy, which of course they will never achieve.
Now that I'm in my thirties, I've crossed paths with many people with dozens of ridiculous schemes to try to get ahead. They aren't quite as silly as TPB, but they are cut from the same cloth.
On a totally different level, it's a really subtle form of satire the way the episodes and seasons cycle through the boys going through elaborate exercises to try to break out, only to be stifled by their own stupidity, the wiles of Jim Lahey, or but bad luck. It's such a common everyman theme that the satirization of it just makes me sympathize with my fellow men even more.
it's Donny though
i loved the recurring bottle kids a lot
never saw the netflix eps as i thought the final season of the original run without cory and trevor was noticeably worse
It's Donnie.
>what in the fuck!
>have another drink, Ray!
>for the love of fuck!
>fuck off with the guns!
>I don't know, would anyone here like to suck my cock?!
>
That's a retcon if paid attention.
NO!! YOU POUND SAND UP THE EYE OF YOUR COCK!
WHO'S FUCKIN' RUNNIN' THIS TRAILER PARK!?
Sebastian Bach is legitimately one of the best characters in the show
>I don't DO drugs.
>YES YOU DO
I cannot stand Bubbles or JRoc but everyone else is pretty great.
>It's honestly the comfiness. These people live in trailers, they're coming up with all these silly hustles, but at the end of the day they acknowledge each other as being parts of the same struggle to be rich and happy, which of course they will never achieve.
They won't be rich, but they'll be happy.

Well said.
Bubbles was insufferable in season three
He was fine in the first season or two when he was just a small minor character that occasionally would pop up and chastise Rickey/Julian for their antics, but they minute he became the third main cast member the show went deep into the shitter.
It's even worse if you try to watch any of the non-TPB stuff. Mike Smith seems to think he's gods gift to comedy for some reason.
Yes, generally. Ricky is often jacked up and hostile, but as long as he's got smokes, weed, and rum, he is very happy. There are comparable but different sources of pleasure for each of the main characters... Bubbles and his kitties, Julian and any sort of entrepreneurial enterprise, Lahey and his liquor.
>please share, user
I know a guy who tried to leverage his trade experience into a consulting position for a top-six oil company without any post-secondary education. Another guy befriended a county official so he could get permission to harvest cedar branches to sell the oil to soapmakers in Quebec. Another guy bought a permit to introduce and then genetically-modify a new plant that was a more efficient at carbon capture and he later sold the seeds from these plants to a state government as part of their green energy policy.
When the Boys hit the talk circuit promoting their program and decided to "stay in character" you could just tell this shit was going off the rails.
Season six and seven were insufferable.
Way she goes boys.
That's because they're the only two that stick out as characters in a tv show when everyone else feels like real people you might meet.
This show is very good background noise but not the best to watch intently.
>Another guy befriended a county official so he could get permission to harvest cedar branches to sell the oil to soapmakers in Quebec
I hope that guy has a tree fall on him.
Why? He works like 12 hrs a day, makes a pittance for it, and the trees along the road look more clean and neat.
>Yes, generally. Ricky is often jacked up and hostile, but as long as he's got smokes, weed, and rum, he is very happy.

Julian has the rum fetish, bro.
Are you the same user? If so you said yourself it was a ridiculous scheme and "people" who rape nature for profit should die early. No offense, just saying that topic rubs me the wrong way.
>Julian has the rum fetish, bro.
Fun fact there's only like 13 minutes in the entire series where he's not holding a rum glass in one of his hands.
Sam's gradual evolution from veterinarian to forest dwelling cave man is hilarious to me. The first 2 seasons are peak comfy but a few of the midseasons are the funniest before it's massive fall off. I feel part of the problem other than the series just lasting too long is them trying to continue without J-Roc and Lucy but the final nail was the death of John Dunsworth. Lahey was much too important a part of the show and it will never be the same no matter what they try.
If you ever see a guy walking around Vancouver with a tallboy in his hand, that's me.
No shit. Ricky likes getting drunk more than Julian.
Maybe I should have included more context. He doesn't cut down the trees. He trims branches off and leaves half the green on (for selfish reason because it grows back quicker). Doesn't harm the tree in any meaningful way.
Sam's best line:
>I'm pretty sure having a gunfight in my office is a breach of my probation.
What's that about Conky? Never thought he was anything but Bubbles being a bastard and telling them how he felt.
"Don't fucking stop shooting on my account"
That's the scene that sold me on the show.
Something about them getting into that retarded ass crash with Julian walking out with his unspilled Rum, followed by Bubbles just pretending to work on the farm talking to the cow hit so goddamn good.
>Trailer Park Boys serious discussion
>What's that about Conky?
If you pay close attention, Conky knows facts that Bubbles could not know, and he even talks to someone else while Bubbles is not looking and is even drinking while Conky is talking.
So that's why the music is so sinister when Conky comes out and back into the water, he's an evil entity, not Bubbles at all. Somehow it's funny too.
So even though Ricky is an idiot concerning Conky, he really isn't and that makes it one of the best jokes on the show.
Anyone remember when Ricky was trying to get something from Lahey and he ripped the cabinets off, knocked over fridge, etc until he was satisified?
It had a big effect on me and I have actually used that tactic in my younger days.
Yeah and it was unnecessary too. lol
>Ohhhhhh my Julian, my handsome Julian. Patrick Swayze you were so fucking sexy in road house.
For me the song before he's shot is conkys best moment. That or when they're on the boat with the cops and he tries to get them shot.
>How are you gonna dance around this one? Dirtily?
This has to be the comfiest show alive. Season 1-3 are pure, unadulterated kino. I like the show best in its early stages when it was a bit more serious and less goofy, though I love all seasons. Bubbles was a perfect character in the first few seasons, being more of an enigmatic, eccentric sideshow character who was 'the smartest person in the park'.
I find season 1 works better as a prequel, especially when introducing someone to the show.
>You're sorry?...
lole
Same. It was on at a friend's house and seeing this made me watch the show from the beginning
it got noticeably bad once they started doing Bubbles episodes and went to complete shit after Corey and Trevor left. the swayze express bit was painfully unfunny
The bottle kids thing was great because they were basically a force of nature in the trailer park. Just had to hunker down when they showed up, nothing could be done.
What the fuck was that cartoon? What happened did the guys sell off the rights?
I think it was cause it was cheaper and they could reuse Lahey lines de he died right after the last season.
Oh God them using the lines was terrible. I hope that doesn't become a trend. But seriously that show went off the rails, no way it could've been to budgeting.
>the swayze express bit was painfully unfunny
bad take
i watched it like i rubber neck car accidents
it was so weird i had to keep watching and i continued until the end
i tried rewatching it, but it's not as rewatchable like other shows are because the novelty has worn off and the comedy is sub-par
Season 2 is the peak. 3-6 is still great, but it gets a little too out there sometimes.
