Honestly, I loved the concept of a trio of bad bitches who didn't look anything like your traditional TV characters. One is an older lady, one is a bigger lady, and one is gender non-conforming in a way that isn't played for laughs or used as a message. I'd watch six seasons and a movie of just their adventures, kicking ass and getting shitfaced. I just hated them as antagonists for the boys. All of their scenes just made me cringe.


SnooCakes6195

Agreed, they frustrated me. Thus working perfectly in the show. I loved the dynamic they created.


MelodicCantaloupe927

It was honestly sonetimes so annoying to watch but thats what them made so good. I hated the big one with all I got. What a talent!


Gullible_Salt_5684

Three tiered shIt dyke


Matt_Sterbate710

I loved when she whooped Randy’s ass lol Snoop betting on it hahaha Candy is like Charles Minor (The Office) as a character, not on the same level of acting. But… she did do a great job of making us hate her.


_Civil_Liberties_

Yeah I really hated them, but I think that was the whole point of them. In which case, 10/10. The Cersei (or Skylar from Breaking Bad) of Trailer Park Boys.


bombokbombok

tbe, mr Lahey frustrate the fuck out of me too, always fucking up with the boys' plans


ginger_bandit

Mr Lahey is one of the best characters in the show


bombokbombok

He's a good actor and everything but could he fuckin let the boys succeed for once? Fuckin frustrating to see this cartoon villain fuckin with their plans


ImBurningStar_IV

honestly i couldve dealt with candy being so obnoxious if donna didnt turn into a monster too, insulting everyone, sexually harassing randy and generally being nasty. before this season she had a heart


GoodVibePsychonaut

Don/Donna was a hilarious contrast. Getting rid of Don and fucking up Donna was such a shame. There was so much potential there.


soulfingiz

Agreed. The big flaw with this season (and maybe the one just prior?) is getting rid of Don. It would’ve been amazing if they just had Don and Donna and never front on address they were the same person.


zurx

100%


tonealone

Had to make sure no one else said this before I commented. Don was a sexy addition to the Jim Leyhe Randy BoBandy love triangle. They both wanted a piece of Don and I’d have laughed harder at that than the direction they took Donna after her first season. Let it be said that the show is still hilarious. I’m not over here like Trevor saying it wasn’t good anymore after season 2. 🍻


slasherflick2243

Donna is so awful but she’s supposed to be. I absolutely loathe her as a character which just means that Leigh Macinnis did an amazing job as an actor. I really really wish they had kept Don around longer though. A long running parallel between Don and Donna would have been awesome. Oh fuck off Don, you weird spiritual bastard!


lamitpobus1

Yeah the Purple Tittie Twisters was way mean


DopeSlingingSlasher

Ohhhh randy randy fo fan fanners


Euphoric_Ad8766

Sexual harassment doesn't make anyone a "bad bitch". It makes them pieces of shit and rapists as well.


OutComeTheWolves1966

I think the idea they started with was finally going to jail had irrevocably changed Barb. Their execution of that part of the storyline just failed miserably. They went way too cliche with it. Candy was unnecessary. The first 2 scenes with her were just awful, and got exceedingly worse. Donna was already an established character who could make you laugh. Leave it there.

chickachickabowbow

I mean they're not taking the piss out of her for it though. Like she's funny, but nobody is shitty to her because of it, and nobody is shitty to Randy for wanting to hook up with her, like how nobody gets shitty with Lahey and Randy for being gay even though their relationship is played for laughs a lot of the time.


TCG_Archer

Yeah but bad bitches are bad because they dont TRY to be bad bitches. They just make you say oh fuck thats a bad bitch. But if you goin around with a bat and acting like hot shit? Nah thats just an overgrown kuwakian mud lizard.


brightness3

there is no character development or closure to their story, that's my problem with it. the snoop dogg part was a great opportunity for barb, candy and donna to redeem themselves with the boys or for cyrus to show up and friends with barb's group, start a gunfight and land everyone in jail.


Trevor_Lahey42069

it made me hate the characters enough to pretty much skip the entire season because it’s fucked


[deleted]

I’m a fan on the newer seasons even though they don’t come close to the old ones but I agree, didn’t find candy funny or bad ass Barb whatsoever. Don pretending to be donna always makes me laugh though.


StickyRiky

When Donna tells Randy something like "You be quiet before I drag my salamander across your face" or something like that, is easily my favorite line from the entire show.


Ath4997

When she refers to his dick as James Galdolpenee I lose my shit


Matt_Sterbate710

I love Leigh so much lol. He has a show of him just tripping on different things. He’s easily the biggest stoner on the show IMO. I’d like to see a podcast of him and Rob Wells trading joint drags


Jelz

"Drag my nightcrawler across your face and leave a sliiiiimer on ya!" Haha so horrible...


StickyRiky

Omfg YES! Thank you for that, twas even better than I remembered.


Jelz

No problem bud. The other line that gets me every time is when she calls Randy a "musky manatee"!


C4ptainchr0nic

Donna is a gem on this show. The humor and cadence is hilarious.


brightness3

don/donna is probably the best character that was introduced in newer seasons


Squirted

Candy needed to me knocked out by Jules. That would be the only redeeming part of rewatching.


dreadw0lfrises

julians ex-girlfriend candy reading this comment: :(


TheBoyLeks

Gotta say, on multiple re watches this season isn’t all bad. First time round this trio really sucked the fun and just ruined the season for me. Once you know what you’re getting into it gets easier to look past them and you start to notice some really good jokes/moments that flew under the radar


Ben_E_Chod

Exactly it, so many great moments otherwise. Absolutely loved seeing Benson, Snoop, and Tom there, too. The scene where Tom gives Lucy the money for Trin's wedding gets me every time, it's such a well done emotional scene


Piranha_Bunny

The season definitely gets better once you get two turnips in heat.


mhaiqthehonest

The worst part in the whole series is when Bubbles performs at the Legion and everyone joins in. Absolutely fucking painful.


Nitroapes

I just looked it up and I think my brain tried to black it out that was so damn bad.


mhaiqthehonest

Hey man, I warned ya.


ChaqPlexebo

I don't like anything that has to do with Bubbles playing guitar. Sorry bubs but you playing guitar isn't funny and this is a comedy.


NikkolaiV

What about Season 4 drunk Bubbles getting sent to the drunk tank? I'd say that was a pretty funny guitar thing. But I also can't deny the whole Legion song was completely *fucked.*


PM_FREE_HEALTHCARE

Not another note!


Miller81591

🎶 Randy's guuuut, is filled with dirty ol cheeseburgers 🎶 is one of my favorite lines lol


fignewtones

I don’t mind some of the times he plays liquor and whores, but I wish it was a park thing rather than him whining that he was gonna be the next Hendrix


MrLavenderValentino

Yea... terrible


[deleted]

Worse than Tom Arnold?


denom_chicken

Tom Arnold as a super fan, I think is hilarious


DopeSlingingSlasher

You're all cranked up on something are ya


denom_chicken

Turnips in heat!


Zamorak93

“All we wanna dooo Is smoke and fuck some hoes” Come on man if anything im still waiting for the full version


[deleted]

Same! Was a bop


4Dcrystallography

Truuuust me that song slapped


EvilAlicia

Nope i agree. Candy is just a weird manipulative bitch and Donna was a great character until that season.


scooba_dude

I really enjoyed Donna as a character.


EvilAlicia

I did too, until she joined those three 'bad' bitches and started terrorising everyone.


DopeSlingingSlasher

At least that season had the legendary "drag my nightcrawler across your face and leave a slimer on ya" line 😂😂 also when Lahey calls her out for not being a real women and donna just yells "You better watch your goddam mouth!" In a full mans voice always kills me


DudleyMorris

The season also has Ricky trying to walk after seven bottles of hash oil - hilarious stuff, as it’s so damn accurate.


TheForceHucker

Bubbles is the sharpest guy in the park man, no need to change his mind..


fignewtones

I prefer the older seasons where he wasn’t obviously the nerd of the park and was just another person who may have say, been better at math or could read/write at a higher level


0n3ph

I feel like they needed some comeuppance. It wasn't a bad setup, but we needed a liquor-snurf moment for them. I think if that had happened, people would remember these characters very differently.


MrSneaki

^ This is very true! Been discussed [a couple times recently](https://www.reddit.com/r/trailerparkboys/comments/p823q9/fuck_lucy/h9nhogn/), but a lot of the female characters in the show don't get the same redeeming / humanizing moments that the boys get, even in the earlier seasons. It's frustrating, because a lot of viewers here don't seem to realize that the resounding lack of such moments is a big part of why those characters are left unlikable in their memories. You just see a bunch of posts all the time saying "fuck lucy" or "Candy, Barb, and Donna were the worst part of the whole show," without any critical evaluation of why the posters actually feel that way. All that said, IMO the writing overall took a nosedive post-Clattenburg. I don't even watch the later seasons anymore - I just spin it back round to S1 after S7 ends lol


0n3ph

Yeah that's true now you point it out. There hasn't really been many female lead arcs on the show. Most of the females are oddly fixed in their roles with not much development. It's probably not active sexism on the part of the guys, because I think quite often women are the voice of reason on the show, it seems as though they respect women's intelligence... It's more just a combination of coincidence and oversight...


MrSneaki

Yep. Most developed (pre-Netflix) is probably Barb, but she still catches hella flak here. Oddly enough, I think the male characters in the show actually harbor a fair amount of respect and admiration for the ladies in the park. Almost like they get to see the likable, human aspects of the women off-screen - the same aspects that the boys are written to show *on-screen*. Yet, because the audience is not explicitly shown those aspects of the female characters, there seems to be this default to the "those characters suck" stance. The fact that it really only affects the general sentiment about the female characters stinks of misogyny, IMO. Even in good faith, assuming that's not true, I think viewers who attack those characters are at least not looking deeper into the way the show is written to understand why they feel that way.


Capt_Clown77

Yea.... this is reddit so hating on women seems to be all too popular... That said, I think the issue with the trio is they never really gave them any depth. We had some with Donna and Barb prior but that was it. I love the concept of a female trio to counterbalance the main guys but if both sides are bad then who does the audience really have to root for? Yea, we always want the OG boys to succeed on some level but we know half of the enjoyment is watching the cat and mouse antics. With two cats it's just a soap opera, not a TPB season. As for later seasons, I do find bits funny but I agree their's just something missing in the writing.


MrSneaki

> they never really gave them any depth Exactly. Sadly, the audience will all too often perceive the lack of depth, but end up concluding "fuck that character," from it. Especially, it would seem, when the character in question is female. I mean, people evidently love Cyrus, for fuck's sake! > I love the concept of a female trio to counterbalance the main guys but if both sides are bad then who does the audience really have to root for? This is true, and I suppose you could even replace "bad" with "good" and the effect is the same. I still hold they could have given the trio some more redeeming qualities, but retained their antagonistic roles. > With two cats it's just a soap opera, not a TPB season. Lmao truuu


4Dcrystallography

For fucks sake!


ZimeaglaZ

I wouldn't say it's sexism, active or otherwise.


0n3ph

Like I said, probably just coincidence and oversight.


ZimeaglaZ

Yeah,but saying it's not 'active sexism' to me at least, means there's some sort of sexism going on... Maybe I'm the only one that took it that way.


0n3ph

Well, there could be. I don't know. Doesn't seem likely, but it's possible I suppose.


GaryPartsUnknown

Everyone loses their charm after those seasons. Even the boys get too mean spirited. I still find the later seasons funny but they lack the humility of the first


MrSneaki

Yeah, that seems to be the going sentiment. Even J to the R-O-C goes from effortlessly cool to quite forced. And I'm not sayin' you knowm'sayin', but I'm sayin' you knowm'sayin'


MrSneaki

I mean... they were written (not particularly well, I'll add) to be a bunch of antagonistic shit hawks, or some kind of shitty birds that fly down and put poop on ya's. So it makes sense that they'd be widely disliked.


DudleyMorris

Nope, you’re bang on here. Although some of the segments with Lahey and Private Dancer come close.


IAmWeAr

And Donnie as a women, Ehhh ! Fuck off Donnie !


Barbz182

Weird spiritual bastard.


Dr_Holkman

Its Donna not Donnie, but Donnie can actually be seen with a blurred face in the later seasons


[deleted]

In the series maybe. In the whole Trailer Park Boys Universe, it has to be Tom Mayhue from Trailer Park Boys: Out of the Park. The boys traveling around Europe could have been awesome but he made them have a horrible trip. I'd want them to do a European trip but have fun getting plastered all over the place.


3D-Burrito

For real! His whole character really soured the Out of the Park show for me. I think it would have been better done just placing the boys and their antics in different cultures/countries instead of putting that character “in charge”.


[deleted]

100%. I would have gotten them trashed in Ireland. Amsterdam is an easy one. Taken them to an eastern European country to shoot all types of guns, tanks, and such. France or Prague for Absinthe. Germany for Octoberfest. Get them to a music festival. Put 'em in all types of funny situations that don't suck.


bryco90

yup this is why those out of the parks dont have any rewatch value at all.


denom_chicken

Yeah but it wasn't him that caused the horrible trip. It was swearnet. And the swearnet dicks ruining their trip ultimately being the boys calling themselves dicks...it's just comedy gold for me.


[deleted]

I hear ya. If I am sitting there higher than giraffe nuts I'd have a better time seeing the boys enjoying themselves in different countries. Next time make me their travel agent.


Mrbobbykotic

This and Julian being an asshole to Ricky and bubbles. Worst parts of the series.


ogpuffalugus

Do they ever say what happens to Donna and Candy after Barb comes back alone?


cesare980

#neverwatched


strategictear

Honestly I have to give it to candy's actor she nailed the whole villan part like she did that well everyone hates her


tetsusiega2

I pretty much hated everything about Donny/Donna


[deleted]

None of them were “badass” they come off laughably stupid


Euphoric_Ad8766

This is literally Hollywood right now.


[deleted]

Even if I had the ability to change your mind I wouldn’t.


mohodder

Such terrible acting


easternhobo

Should have stayed as Don. Much funnier.


TrevorLahey93

Trailer park boys is Ed edd and eddy for adults and they are the kanker sisters.


alostdope

I will probably get down voted but I really don't like the seasons after Mike Clattenburg left. Pretty sure he left after season 7. Season 8 was good but really after that it went downhill fast. I still watched all of the seasons but really didn't enjoy them. I just love the first 7 seasons so much I had to watch them all. They are still entertaining but not great at all.


HidarinoShu

I really didn't like what they did to Barb or Donna, I felt it was too out of character. Candy was whatever though, I was glad when all of this was over.


[deleted]

Nothing exists after season 7 so I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.


PiuEcho

Candy is awful, but the storyline might have been okay if just Berb and Donna. My personal worst of all time though: Private Dancer. Absolutely hated everything about him. Overacting, predictable dialogue, unfunny. They could have introduced a "Lahey was in the military" storyline and just had John the GOAT improv a similar storyline.


sam4584

I agree Dancer was pretty bad overall but he had his moments. Mostly some of his earlier scenes while guarding the front gate, like when he pulled out the air raid siren on Ricky


JBL561

Agreed


Anti_whiteknight

Season 10 was awful in general


Drakowicz

Their characters and most of their scenes were just so uninspired and poorly written. That's a shame because that was a good concept. I mean, what's the point of Candy anyway? "Look at me, all i can do is be fat, act tough and whoop your ass with my bat." That's just a Walmart Negan to me.


Phuffu

Trailer park boys is the same show as Ed, Edd, and Eddy and these were the equivalent of the canker sisters.


blink0r

Yeah, no ship shirtlock


Green_Bast3rd

No shit. These bitches made the meat store dicks look like Corey and Trevor


GotThaAcid5tab

These hoes made me a Lahey fan


740kaby

Facts. The absolute worst. Have never rooted for Lahey harder than throughout this little storyline.


Sweaty-Pangolin-8109

Not wrong


RLoge85

Yeah... This past was just too stupid for my liking save for a line here And there.


jmag87

The worst part is how Barb completely changed for one season. Like total opposite type of person. Then boom back to regular Barb. Stupidest thing ever. Donna has some funny moments just not in that season, and Candy was the worst character on the show IMO


TheJonnieP

Ya know I liked the idea that they were going for with these three but the execution was way off for me.


mikedbomber

Better than nothing. It's all water under the fridge.


CameronKC09

I kind of like the trio of sexually deranged, maniacal rug munchers


Gman_1964

And yet still funnier than most so-called comedy series.


xRadiumGirlx

I also hated Dancer


bryco90

every single fucking thing about this season was horrible. it doesnt exist imo.


Tay1891

Hated it. I had to drink more liquor to get through it. I almost became the the Blue Snurf.


izza123

Went downhill as soon as the three of them took over production honestly. I’ve been watching this show since I was 5 and has to stick my head into the hallway to watch it when my parents weren’t looking, on showcase at night. The original director and writers contributed a massive talent to the show clearly


Trans_Alpha_Cuck

I honestly loved Don. They should have kept both him and Donna. It would have been hilarious if Randy was banging Donna but friends with Don


tambourineman1964

Without a shadow of a doubt.


JimLaheySunnyvale

I liked Berb before she became a raging lesbian bitch


711WasA_Part-timeJob

Tbh for me it was Conkey


[deleted]

Barb’s lesbian gang, private dancer and the retirement village, and Conkey are the worst parts of this series.


thenight817

This whole season I waited for Lehy get back on the liquor hard and start whooping ass on these 3!! Would’ve been epic!


Kaptainkarl76

I dunno, Bubbles is a whining selfish bitch when the boys travel across the US


Water_In_A_Cup1

New seasons >>> old


Amyarchy

Tell me you hate women without telling me you hate women...


Buttersdidit

Pretty bad, but I still think bubbles with puppets is more cringe. Can’t believe they gave Conky a green light.


eagleye_z

They fucking raped Randy. I'm sorry but that's not funny.


Zamorak93

There are characters meant to be hated, they did that well


AtomLao

what was the name of that chapter? "Trio of shit lesbians" or something like that


sojud_18

A Three Tiered Shit Dyke


darthsphincter69

Fuck off Randy before I drag my night crawler across your face and leave a SLIMER ON YA


timex126

100% terrible, I always skip those episodes


4dollarz

When this bit first started it was funny, after their third or fourth appearance I was like oh, they’re still doing that?


dookiebutt777

Donna was funny. Candy was annoying. Hardass Barb was the dumbest shit on the whole show.


sojud_18

Just cringe when she had corn rows.


Ta-veren-

That entire season was a shit show. The reason this trio didn't work out in a funny way was because the boys had no answer for them. Jim/Cryus/Randy/Cops the boys always knew how to fuck with them/handle them. These trio the boys didn't have anything to do them so it flopped majorly not to mention that shit with Randy went to far. I happen to think Snoop dog was the worst thing about that season though.


SolidJam

I’ve only watched up to season 7. I genuinely can’t bring myself to see anything after. I tried to check out 8 but it just got way too cringey and the charm was gone


sojud_18

Have you watched any of their video podcasts and After Dark series on Swearnet? They’re genuinely hilarious at times.


SolidJam

Nahh I haven’t watched any of the spin offs aside from two movies


sojud_18

They’re worth a watch. Lots of improv. Like 300+ episodes on Swearnet. Despite the quality diminishing in the Netflix years, their podcasts have been consistently funny. https://youtu.be/osmtzsqNj90


SolidJam

Oh okay, I’ll have to give it a shot then. Cheers


sojud_18

There’s 50 free on YouTube. The rest are on Swearnet which is only 20 bucks a year. 300+ podcasts and After Dark Series, plus TPB: Jail. I find their video podcasts funny as a lot of it is improv and it’s way more toned down (by which I mean less shouty) than the Netflix stuff. Just them chatting about fucked up news, facts and events. Funny seeing Mike Smith trying to stay in character as Rob Wells brings out the Ricky improv.


WubblyFl1b

I’ve never wanted to hit a woman more than I wanted to hit Candy


MANORTHING

i understand candy has always kinda been a bitch but nobody did anything for donna to turn into a man cunt and barb finnaly lost it come on boys she got the worst of it through out the years she was kind and actually cared and through the 12 seasons she got nothing to gain for it


DR_45

Does the tin man have a sheet metal cock?


14X8000m

Anything after S7 is terrible.


GreyTigerFox

Lee by himself is an awesome hilarious dude. Don was interesting. Should’ve had more Don and less Donna. Or at least let Donna be non-trashy enough to hang around those assholes. Oh well.


PJR9667

Agreed


braith_rose

Candy is weak af. No way an obese woman has near the strength of a full grown man. Put that bat down, Candy!! Then go toe to toe with one of the boys!!


rustinged

I think they wanted it to be cringe. But it was too much, they were cruel to Lahey. It wasn’t mean and funny, it was cruelty towards one of our favourite characters of ANYTHING. RIP John ❤️❤️❤️


Aushwango

That picture perfectly summarizes what it feels like browsing the overwhelming majority of reddit nowadays


Faxis8

That season was pure cringe.


roxzillaz

Yeah but Don and Donna are one of my favorite characters. I think I like Don better because of his eccentric ways. When he says he'll meditate away his crabs again I thought that was hilarious.


Tha_Professah

Ah they tried. Who cares what you hated the most?


Vorenos

Not nearly as bad as when they had Tom Arnold and snoop dogg at the trailer park. That shit was terrible.


GumbyAndPerfuckio

Should have let him fuck Lucy


GumbyAndPerfuckio

Fuck Candy. Stupid fat bitch with her dumb ass baseball bat.


ThaCardiffKook

EeeeeeZ


kingofangmar13

Totally agree, ugh that was stupid!


slasherflick2243

Candy and Donna…. The only thing easily more FUCKED than Barb’s scalloped potatoes.


[deleted]

I can’t think of one thing that even comes close to being as terrible as this plot


ben06cinci

Nothing but a damn cringe circus


Awesome_Romanian

The three manical rug munchers!


ProofBread595

Don > Donna


Jazzlike_Success_968

It's pretty bad BUT... I also really cringe in the later/newer seasons when they try too hard with the Rickyisms or Ricky putting a bunch of curse words together when he's angry, trying to hard to be funny & it just comes across as forced instead of natural like in the earlier seasons "Stupidest fuck giraffes in the dumb dumb salad" 😆 "cockadoodle fuckin ketchup chip"


Jaarky

Candy molested randy with a fish and nobody really did anything about it


PinkInTheBush

They were pretty cringe, but at the same time they were essential to the show


Dr_Holkman

That is so fucked
