The trailer park boys. Okay this Canadian mockumentary about three friends living in a trailer park is actually an old show. You have more than likely heard of it or seen it on your Netflix Que. It’s been around for 16 or so years. The best word to describe it, is f**ked. Honestly. there’s not much I can say about this show. But I have to turn in a five hundred word article so I guess I’m going to have to try and expand my opinions for this terrible show.
There are a couple reasons why I think this show is between the lines of god-awful, and a complete disgrace. For starters, the language is just unnecessarily, unforgivingly, and repeatedly foul. The characters swear nearly forty times a minute. Every other word is either “f**k” or “s**t” (I’m censoring my own f-bombs because I’m not entirely sure I’m allowed to swear on Bingeworthy Reviews, Sponsored by Odyssey. And honestly, swearing in such a reputable publication, is fucking beneath me.)
The characters are also overwhelming stupid, in terms of IQ. It makes fun of all the stereotypes a rich person would have about the bottom 90%, #HelpUsBernie. The stupidity is almost bordering children’s cartoon dumb. Not to mention the characters are just as violent. Guns are a main part of the show. I know in a red state like South Dakota I’m not appealing to a lot of people when I say, “I think they there’s too many guns on this show.” But really the casual manner in which they use these guns is a little unnecessary.
But hey if you’re okay with the guns, maybe you’d be okay with the excessive use of drugs and alcohol. Breaking the law, and committing crimes is a main plot point in this show. Every episode the characters are either smoking weed, drinking heavily, or breaking the law. The worst part of it all is that it glamorizes all of it. Any time I watch this show, all I want to do is get wasted, smoke a blunt, and rob someone’s trailer. I think that’s the worst part of the show. Trailer park boys really encourages poor, deplorable behavior. It’s a really bad show for anyone morally right.
Then again, you guys are a bunch of college students in a boring town. So I guess watch the show. It's actually not half bad. I enjoy a lot of the ridiculous comedy, featured in the show. I just remembered my favorite line, (which I’m totally going to start quoting more, especially when I start drinking more liquor and inject marijuanas1) “I am the liquor.” I don’t know why I like this line, but I’m sure if you watch it you might find something good.
As a writer, with possible impressionable readers, I do not condone the actions performed on this show. Excessive drinking, drug use, and criminal activity are all bad things that no one should do. However, its kinda funny when these characters do it. I know I pretty much through the entirety of Trailer Park Boys under the bus, but who knows you might like it.
Score: 2.7/5
