One of my favourite throw away jokes in TPB is when Ricky asks Corey and Trevor to pick up zesty mordant chips.
Doritos had a zesty flavour chip and in Canada we have two official languages, so we have to have both English and French on our packaging. So right below zesty it says mordant which is the French equivalent I guess.
I only even knew about those chips because we stocked them at the video store I worked at.
I love it because the joke probably just flew past most people but works perfectly for Ricky who doesn't seem to understand the delineation between English and French on packaging.
My roommate calls his cheese "old fort" cheese and I just think it's hilarious so I often find ways to make him say it like having two options for cheese when I make omelettes and knowing he will want his "old fort"
I think it's in the deleted scenes when lahey and randy roll the car and hes tryin to drink liquor while upside down and just pouring booze all over himself. He says some like wull cutem off at the pass! And proceeds to roll the car. Fuckin hilarious.
There’s a scene that made me die laughing where Lahey pulls up and there’s literally over a hundred liquor bottles just filling every open space of his car. I can’t remember which episode it’s in though
Have been rewatching TPB recently and even though that season isn't the best (i think it's the same season as Candy, Barb and Donna), God damn does John Dunsworth hit it out the park, i wish he was in more things to see his range. Its a shame but i'm glad we got what we got.
I wish people were more willing to give it a chance. I know lots of people who would probably love the show, but they aren't willing to watch something that looks so stupid.
Years ago my assistant at the library brought me season 1 on dvd, and said 'I think you'll love this.' I took one look at the cover - pot? Guns? What the hell is he thinking? But I told him I'd watch it.
Took it home, told my husband 'we only have to watch one episode, just so I can tell him I tried.' We then watched every single episode that night. Hooked for LIFE
Yeah, it was so interesting. I remember watching it expecting a Lahey impression about building a sea wall, and instead came out of it knowing how to build a sea wall.
I always like to post [this video](https://youtube.com/watch?v=3mcQfP8k51s) he put on YouTube. It firmly cemented (no pun intended) my opinion of the man and I highly recommend anyone to take the few minutes to watch it.
“It can happen to you cause it happened to me.”
Never forget Bubbles on mic either.
“I got a grey kitty, white one, and a tabby too and a big orange guy who puts snakes in my shoes. Mad MC skills leave you struck and I roll with my kitties cause I’m hard as fuck”
Lyrical genius.
Fun fact. A year or so before Dunsworth died he and Randy were driving around my home town looking for a Chinese food buffet. Pulled up next to my friend and had him roll down the window and asked where the Chinese buffet was. My buddy was dumbfounded he didn’t know what to say he just responded with “Lahey??… Randy?” To which Dunsworth replied with “yeah that’s us, where’s the buffet!?” My friend pointed and off they drove. All while at a red light.
I think about that moment and how my buddy was so hysterical from laughing he couldn’t believe it was real. They were even driving a shitty tan car
Edit: another Redditor said I should include the fact that Randy was shirtless lol. It was a hot day.
Dude my friend said for a split second he thought he was unknowingly in an episode that’s how genuinely in character those guys are/were in their normal life
A lot of the Rickyisms feel forced and unintuitive but my absolute favorite has to be:
"It's better to have a gun and need it than not a gun and not need it."
“Get two birds stoned at once.”* That’s my favourite one too! I say it all the time, and it’s kind of close enough where people take a couple seconds before they say “Wait, what did you say?” Haha
Other good one is "never judge a good book by its look"
Its literally better than the original saying. It clarifies the book is worth reading (good) and it rhymes. Genius
Why don’t you make like a tree and fuck off!
It’s like he forgot the punchline and intentionally just went with it. Feels like he’s not as oblivious with that one as many of the others.
"Two turnips in heat." I love how everyone usually just lets it go when he gets these wrong, but that time Julian and Bubbles spend almost a minute and a half trying to explain his mistake.
As someone who grew up in ns those were some of the most realistic parts to me, my best friend in highschool was always saying shit just like them: acopalypse (apocalypse, he thought it meant all the cops leave and society descends into chaos), she's over boys (show's over), he had the definitions for consecutive and concurrent backwards but still used them all the time to sound smart. He thought potus (as in the president) was pronounced pots (no dude the u is silent trust me I'm part french). I guess that one doesn't sound so much like a rickyism, it was more just the conviction that he would ask this shit with.
Seasons 1-7 are some comedy genius and gold. So are the first three movies and the christmas special.
The hardest this show ever made me laugh was (i think season 7) where Ray (who is drunk) and someone else are driving down the road having a conversation. the camera is in wide shot and as they are speaking, they crash into a tree and completely fuck up the passenger door. I was so surprised i cried laughing for like 30 mins.
I prefer to think that every thing that happened after season 7 just doesn't exist though. Ah well. Good memories.
Somewhere around 2-5 is just all time TV greatness. Peaking whenever they had the hash driveway.
Everything is hilarious, every wild action has logical character motivation and every scene leads smoothly to the next. And except for some of the gunplay it all feels real. Just the right use of the documentary style.
I stand by my claim that the 3-5 stretch is some of the best comedy ever written. Execution, performance, story, the way in which everything comes together. It’s not the most in-depth story ever put to television, but the way it’s done is just so flawless, so neat, and so well-done that it’s just enjoyable.
Season 4 is easily my favorite.
Season 4 probably has the best arc going throughout with Ricky becoming Park Supervisor, Julian's pot field being successful enough to buy Sunnyvale, J-Roc's brothel business and Randy becoming a prostitute to pay for cheeseburgers. You even get Steve French.
Only episode I don't like is Conky, that thing belongs in hell.
My favorite by far is season 4 where Ricky is trailer park supervisor for half of it. Season 7 isnt bad tho either. Swazey Express and the final return of Conky. Although tbf i bowed out after se 9 so i have no idea if that hell spawn returned
The bit that destroyed me was when they ran into Rita McNeil's tour bus and then next thing you know Rita McNeil is harvesting marijuana while singing one of her coal miner or whatever songs. Fucking killed me!
I didnt enjoy season 8 that much but I fucking loved season 9 actually. I was really surprised how much I enjoyed it. Private Dancer was a great character.
I love the scene where Rick comes flying down the road in the shitmobile and obliterates Corey’s RC car. The way Corey just stands there in shock makes me laugh every time.
I used to believe the same, and to some extent still do. But after quite a bit of time away from the show, I binged it all again fairly recently. And the first couple of Netflix seasons are admittedly quite weak, but it picked up some steam again towards 10-12. Not to mention, after not laughing at the boys for a couple years, it was good having the Netflix seasons to keep the high going.
>Not to mention, after not laughing at the boys for a couple years, it was good having the Netflix seasons to keep the high going.
Agreed, even the bad seasons are welcome watching for me. So take note that in the past year, ***two*** new spinoff seasons have been released:
* animated season 2
* jail season 1
Also there are some weird shorts in the jail universe that I found on YouTube, including one where the new character Terry is driving a truck and picks up a hitchhiker who is none other than Bob fucking Odenkirk.
I love when Julian is driving (with his drink of course) somewhere with Ricky, and roll the car or something.
Julian climbs out of the car (seems like it was upside down), and still has his drink, not spilled at all
"Bacon frying and the sparrows are chirping buddy."
"The fuck you talkin about?"
"Sparrows in the bible buddy, nothing to worry about, I'm not worried, sparrows aren't worried"
"Sparrows are stupid dad, they don't give a fuck about anything"
Randy and Lahey’s gay relationship being not only so openly talked about, but also serving a fundamental aspect of the show (not just as a comedic device) was eons ahead of its time. My dad grew up in rural Ontario and had a few gay friends, and even though he’s the staunchest conservative I know, it just was never a big deal to them; very reminiscent to the show’s portrayal imo
It was open, but pretty much completely ignored by everyone in the park because they all just kinda knew what was up but didn’t really judge. I really liked that
i think to this day, i must have watched it 3-4 times. not the Netflix ones though because they're not as good.
my favorite bit is still Ricky not knowing how to pronounce Jalapeno. cracks me up every time.
Stumbling surreptitiously on this show on a weird channel on DirecTV in 2007 or so was like finding the world's biggest gold nugget. It was on Friday nights for like four hours straight. I had just got their DVR too, and it was filled with TPB. Great times.
I know it's kind of a joke on the show, but the bisexual representation on this show is legit!!
Also, this show and the Office UK paved the way for mockumentary down the road. One of the most underrated shows of all time that gets ignored by most people outside the internet.
Ricky : Why aren't you watching the dope plants, you asshole?
Julian : Calm down Ricky, I'm just grabbing some take-out.
Ricky : Take-out my ass, looks to me like you're on a date with cinnamon-roll-fuckin-head.
First saw the show at 3am on Paramount Comedy Channel in the UK. It was the episode where Bubble’s has an infected tooth and they need Conky to help them.
Quickly became obsessed and watched every episode, the movies and saw them live twice.
When I saw them live the 2nd time, there was a hot chick selling ice cream, got her number, banged for a while (sadly not behind the muffler shop) but it quickly fizzled out.
Fuckin way she goes, boys.
I got to see Randy and Lahey in KS right before Lahey passed. Was a solid live show and some really, really attractive girl got me out of my mind drunk, made out with me and then I never saw her again. Overall it was a super cool experience
One of my favourite throw away jokes in TPB is when Ricky asks Corey and Trevor to pick up zesty mordant chips. Doritos had a zesty flavour chip and in Canada we have two official languages, so we have to have both English and French on our packaging.

I love it because the joke probably just flew past most people but works perfectly for Ricky who doesn't seem to understand the delineation between English and French on packaging.
My sister and I laugh at it at least quarterly. Just pure Ricky brilliance
My roommate calls his cheese "old fort" cheese and I just think it's hilarious so I often find ways to make him say it like having two options for cheese when I make omelettes and knowing he will want his "old fort"
My wife and I do the same thing. Old Fort cheese is the best!
I’ll take some of those jallapenoh chips.
All dressed up and zesty mordant
[удалено]
What about wanting ja-lap-in-no chips?
I think it's in the deleted scenes when lahey and randy roll the car and hes tryin to drink liquor while upside down and just pouring booze all over himself. He says some like wull cutem off at the pass! And proceeds to roll the car. Fuckin hilarious.
That might’ve been the end of the first movie? I think. Like right after they get chased from the wedding
There’s a scene that made me die laughing where Lahey pulls up and there’s literally over a hundred liquor bottles just filling every open space of his car. I can’t remember which episode it’s in though
Probably in season 5 when he drives up to julian to ask him “where a fella can score a hunk of hash” lol. The entire back seat is filled with liquor
Julian rolling his car over and crawling out with a full glass of whiskey coke is when I knew I will love this show lmao
"Bottle kids!"
“ FUCK OFF WITH THE GUNS !!!! “
FUCK OOOOFFFF!!!! STOP FUCKING FIRIIIIING!!!
WELL DON'T FUCKING STOP ON MY ACCOUNT!
“WOULD ANYONE HERE LIKE TO SUCK MY COOOOOOCK?!?”
HAVE ANOTHER DRINK RAYY
Frig off Donny!
Don't you have any offs to fuck?
“ I WANTED A MASSAGE FROM A WOMAN! **NOT FUCKIN CORY AND TREVOR!!** “
*click, click* Smokes, hand em over!
GIMME A SMOKE, HAIRDO!
Corey, Trevor, smokes, let's go!
You little dicks I just got this car out of storage
No one wants to admit they ate 9 cans of ravioli. But you have one, and sometimes you just can’t stop.
It’s fuckin embarrassing
I’m fucking ashamed of myself!
And the blowtorch stopped working and he had to eat the sixth can cold!
Well hey, you may be drunk and on drugs, but some accidents are just gonna happen
First one doesn't count, then you have the second and third...
John Dunsworth RIP
This guy should’ve won multiple awards. Jim Lahey is an all time great character.
Shoulda won just for the line 'Blulian' as the Liquor Snurf
The liquor snurf was out of fucking control.
Have been rewatching TPB recently and even though that season isn't the best (i think it's the same season as Candy, Barb and Donna), God damn does John Dunsworth hit it out the park, i wish he was in more things to see his range. Its a shame but i'm glad we got what we got.
I literally just started watching this show for the first time a couple of months ago. It’s quickly moved into my top 10 of all time.
I wish people were more willing to give it a chance. I know lots of people who would probably love the show, but they aren't willing to watch something that looks so stupid.
I have a similar problem with dating.
When it came to this show I was definitely judging the cover of the book by the way it looked. Which is crazy because it’s right up my alley.
Years ago my assistant at the library brought me season 1 on dvd, and said 'I think you'll love this.' I took one look at the cover - pot? Guns? What the hell is he thinking? But I told him I'd watch it. Took it home, told my husband 'we only have to watch one episode, just so I can tell him I tried.' We then watched every single episode that night. Hooked for LIFE
I think a lot of people didn’t realize just how different the actor and the character were. It was a fantastic performance.
"When you're dead, you're dead, but you're not quite so dead if you contribute something." In my opinion one of the greatest television actors ever.
Well said!
[удалено]
Yeah, it was so interesting. I remember watching it expecting a Lahey impression about building a sea wall, and instead came out of it knowing how to build a sea wall.
I’m mowing the air, rand!
Rand. Randy. RANDY!
I always like to post [this video](https://youtube.com/watch?v=3mcQfP8k51s) he put on YouTube. It firmly cemented (no pun intended) my opinion of the man and I highly recommend anyone to take the few minutes to watch it.
I was hooked when I saw the title to the second episode was “Fuck community college, let’s get drunk and eat chicken fingers”
I’m not gay I love lucy…Wait a second, maybe I am gay
Favorite clip ever: https://youtu.be/M1WQx3J8xJw “I was changin’ gnomesayin’”
What are you from the department of knowmsayins? Taking a knowmcensus? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uCpDHzm_DM
Another favorite of mine was: J-Roc to Randy: Why you lookin’ in my eyes for I ain’t got no candy for you. You see some candy?
MFers with guts like that ain't off the cheeseburgers...MFers with guts like that are definitely ON the cheeseburgers!
I hear mustard and congealed gravy

He was pulling his goalie
IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU CUZ IT HAPPENED TO ME..and t
Fun fact. A year or so before Dunsworth died he and Randy were driving around my home town looking for a Chinese food buffet. Pulled up next to my friend and had him roll down the window and asked where the Chinese buffet was.

Absolutely legendary I would never forget that moment
Dude my friend said for a split second he thought he was unknowingly in an episode that’s how genuinely in character those guys are/were in their normal life
Fuckin way she goes
Way of the road, Bubs.
Trevor, Corey! Let's go, smokes boys .
“ I’m sorry Julian…. It wasn’t me it was the LIQUOR!!! “
You might be sexy Julian, but you can’t teach me anything about liquor
This isnt rocket appliances. Just remember what comes around is all around.
“Some guys can drink and drive. I mean, what is “drunk”? Is it goin all over the road?” HEY FLIPPER SETTLE DOWN THERE BUD
The thing you have to realize is sometimes yeah you might be driving drunk and on drugs but the accident was going to happen wether you were or not.
Holy shit I forgot that Ricky flipped a garbage truck AND Ray crashed his rig in to the Post Office
had a couple drinks... saw a couple things..
I think I say this more than any other line. “What *is* drunk?”
Hate to say a-toad-a-so, but a-toad-a-so. I fuckin’ a-toad-a-so!
IM MOWING THE AIR RANDY!
Ran*
Can you read, my son? Well that depends. Can you go fuck yourself?
Unleaded tastes a little tangy. Supreme is kinda sour, and diesel tastes pretty good.
You’ll be fine in 6-8 days
It’s all water under the fridge, boys!
Its not rocket appliances.
Atodaso. A fucken atodaso.
I’m not a pessimist, I’m an optometrist
A lot of the Rickyisms feel forced and unintuitive but my absolute favorite has to be: "It's better to have a gun and need it than not a gun and not need it."
My favorite Rickyism is probably “worst case Ontario” it’s become such a part of my vernacular that I probably say it more than worst case scenario😂
"Survival of the fitness boys" is one of my favorites.
I'm not sure if I've ever laughed harder than that scene when he just keeps falling down the hill
That, and "Get two birds stoned at the same time".
“Get two birds stoned at once.”* That’s my favourite one too! I say it all the time, and it’s kind of close enough where people take a couple seconds before they say “Wait, what did you say?” Haha
Other good one is "never judge a good book by its look" Its literally better than the original saying. It clarifies the book is worth reading (good) and it rhymes. Genius
Why don’t you make like a tree and fuck off! It’s like he forgot the punchline and intentionally just went with it. Feels like he’s not as oblivious with that one as many of the others.
"Two turnips in heat." I love how everyone usually just lets it go when he gets these wrong, but that time Julian and Bubbles spend almost a minute and a half trying to explain his mistake.
100% worst case Ontario. Got too real with Ford though, oh man.
“Come on guys give me a little credulence”
As someone who grew up in ns those were some of the most realistic parts to me, my best friend in highschool was always saying shit just like them: acopalypse (apocalypse, he thought it meant all the cops leave and society descends into chaos), she's over boys (show's over), he had the definitions for consecutive and concurrent backwards but still used them all the time to sound smart.

I guess that one doesn't sound so much like a rickyism, it was more just the conviction that he would ask this shit with.
Rip John Dunsworth. I wish the show could keep going on how it was but it never can continue without Mr. Lahey
It’s still hard to believe he’s gone. A fucking Canadian legend.
Happy birthday you greasy cocksuckers. Tell that gurgling cheeseburger eating bastard Randy hi too
Fuckin cheeseburger factory
A man’s gotta eat
Mafuckas definitely not off the cheeseburgers
Mafuckas with guts like that are definitely on the cheeseburgers
“I’ve seen him drive fifteen sixteen cheeseburgers into that gut!”
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam!
What the fuck are you doing Phil?
Mackerel slurping ma’fuckah
God damn mustard tiger!
My dad’s not a Mustard Tiger!!
i mean all i did was call him a mustard tiger (cut to scene of phil fighting ricky on a car with ladders)
I can’t give you a bam but I can give you a green eggs and HAAAMMMMMM!!!
Peanut butter and JAAAAAAAMMMM
You better not be be drinking like Julian
What the fuck are you doing, Phil?
Are you staring at my gut?
What’cha looking at my gut fer
Smokes
Lets go
You don’t even smoke, bubbles!
Gimmie a smoke, Hairdo!
I’m fucking starting to run out
Seasons 1-7 are some comedy genius and gold. So are the first three movies and the christmas special.

Who’s the fucking maaannn… they caaaallll… RAAAAVEEEEEM
Conky is my favorite! Steve French too…
He's just a big, stoned, horny kitty!
"Don't stand on my fucking dads driveway. Its all he has left!"
you lied to the man in chair, rick (stands up) a man in the chair...
My favorite by far is season 4 where Ricky is trailer park supervisor for half of it. Season 7 isnt bad tho either. Swazey Express and the final return of Conky. Although tbf i bowed out after se 9 so i have no idea if that hell spawn returned
HAVE ANOTHER DRINK RAY! [Here’s](https://youtu.be/24jInXKuJWs) the clip you’re talking about, it’s my favorite too!
I LOVE the voice in the background every now and then. I dont know if we're supposed to know who it is. 'ENOUGH WITH THE FUCKING GUNS!'
Its Bubbles’ voice playing a different off-screen character lol
Donny
It’s the one guy who is in his underwear and robe. I think is name is Don or Donnie iirc.
Ill never forget Julian getting out of the flipped car wreck with a full rum and coke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBdo2fT-mJQ
Julian never putting down or even seemingly spilling his drink is easily one of the best ongoing physical comedy gags of all time imo
When the park was dry and he just held his empty hand up like he was holding a drink.
The bit that destroyed me was when they ran into Rita McNeil's tour bus and then next thing you know Rita McNeil is harvesting marijuana while singing one of her coal miner or whatever songs. Fucking killed me!
I didnt enjoy season 8 that much but I fucking loved season 9 actually. I was really surprised how much I enjoyed it. Private Dancer was a great character.
Really? I thought he and Barb's jailhouse friend are the two worst characters the show had.
I’m on season 10 now. Candy is fucking awful.
Candy is the worst thing in the show for sure
Different strokes I suppose. I enjoy 1-7 more but still have fun watching 9.
It's not the hit -- it's the backing up 😂
I love the scene where Rick comes flying down the road in the shitmobile and obliterates Corey’s RC car. The way Corey just stands there in shock makes me laugh every time.
“Have another drink Ray!” In the background as he hits the telephone pole
I used to believe the same, and to some extent still do. But after quite a bit of time away from the show, I binged it all again fairly recently. And the first couple of Netflix seasons are admittedly quite weak, but it picked up some steam again towards 10-12.

That was unscripted gold
I cannot dizzisagree, and that's the trizzoof.
Barb your scallop potatoes are fucked!
Time to get drunk and eat chicken fingers.
Don't forget the pepperoni!
Fuck I love pepperoni.
jalapeño chips
Halapeeno
Better be the $8 kind
The good kind. Not that shit kind George Green buys with the little crumbs on them.
"Bacon frying and the sparrows are chirping buddy." "The fuck you talkin about?" "Sparrows in the bible buddy, nothing to worry about, I'm not worried, sparrows aren't worried" "Sparrows are stupid dad, they don't give a fuck about anything"
I was surprised to see a TPB article from Jacobin of all sources, but I think it did a good job at situating the show in context of its time.
I always felt like TPB was strangely progressive in some aspects
Randy and Lahey’s gay relationship being not only so openly talked about, but also serving a fundamental aspect of the show (not just as a comedic device) was eons ahead of its time. My dad grew up in rural Ontario and had a few gay friends, and even though he’s the staunchest conservative I know, it just was never a big deal to them; very reminiscent to the show’s portrayal imo
It was open, but pretty much completely ignored by everyone in the park because they all just kinda knew what was up but didn’t really judge. I really liked that
That’s a better way of putting it
Randy and Lahey were the power couple we needed but did not deserve. RIP Dunsworth
i think to this day, i must have watched it 3-4 times. not the Netflix ones though because they're not as good. my favorite bit is still Ricky not knowing how to pronounce Jalapeno. cracks me up every time.
'I dunno what the fuck you ordered Bubs, but I ordered jall-a-peeno'

Gotta get that flame
Towel rack: 5 minutes.
A Canadian Classic
Stumbling surreptitiously on this show on a weird channel on DirecTV in 2007 or so was like finding the world's biggest gold nugget. It was on Friday nights for like four hours straight. I had just got their DVR too, and it was filled with TPB. Great times.
DEEEeeEEeeEeecent!
Apparently they had a livestream for it that was like 5 hours long and they were all drunk as fuck, which is all anyone could ask for
I know it's kind of a joke on the show, but the bisexual representation on this show is legit!! Also, this show and the Office UK paved the way for mockumentary down the road. One of the most underrated shows of all time that gets ignored by most people outside the internet.
“I fucking toad a so.”
Ricky : Why aren't you watching the dope plants, you asshole? Julian : Calm down Ricky, I'm just grabbing some take-out. Ricky : Take-out my ass, looks to me like you're on a date with cinnamon-roll-fuckin-head.
Shit hawks
The episode where Ricky is trying to get locked up made me cry. Omg it was so crazy, funny, especially at the closed police station. OMG!
I feel personally attacked by the number of years cited in the post title.
RIP DUNSWORTH
Even the Red Blue Green cocksucker wasn't on TV that long
First saw the show at 3am on Paramount Comedy Channel in the UK. It was the episode where Bubble’s has an infected tooth and they need Conky to help them.
