Here's the best 8 minutes you'll ever spend in your life.
For those of you not familiar with the Trailer Park Boys, it's a Canadian comedy series of such comic brilliance that it's shameful we haven't given the show the recognition it deserved. For those of you who are familiar with it, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
I think there's like 7 seasons to the show, but for the Trailer Park Boys, a "season" is only like 7 thirty-minute long episodes.
This is one from the seventh season (4th episode) and is one of my favorites. It begins with Ray driving a big rig with Bubbles to Maine so they can recycle a bunch of shopping carts and to visit a model train convention. Bubbles is keen on model trains, but Ricky picks up truck stop whores at every chance, explaining to Bubbles that it's "the way of the road." Eventually, Ray gets busted on a prostitution sting, leaving Bubbles alone and scared in a truck stop. He calls his friends Ricky and Julian to rescue him and they do him the favor of still managing to get him to the model train convention, albeit a tad drunk, where who should they see but one Sebastian Bach who delivers an Emmy worthy cameo.
And yes, the next episode is just as funny. The three come up with a plan to ship weed across the border to the U.S. using model trains. Powering the weed delivery system? The Patrick Swayzie Express!
Bonus points to whoever can comment on what song is playing over the end credits. If it's a solo song from Bach, who knew he could rock a song that hard?

That is awesome. I had a friend in high school who had a car that looked alot like that, 'cept it had brama bull horns on the hood.
A friend of mine from FM introduced me to TPB via the movie last year and it was love at first sight. All seven seasons are indeed gold but I thought the last season loses a little shine from the absence of master foils Corey and Trevor (although it nearly makes up for this by showing the effects of Randy's crippling marijuana addiction).
But, yes, I would suggest that anyone interested should just start with season one (or the short film that was shopped around until Showcase picked it up) and just burn through all the episodes as quickly as possible.
And season four has been scientifically proven to be the best one.
Just sayin'.
That was freaking hilarious! I have got to check out the episodes on the 101. I am also claiming the bonus points as the end credit tune is called '(Love Is) A Bitchslap' featuring guest vocals from Axl Rose off of Bach's acclaimed (seriously) 2007 release "Angel Down".
