It s been 20 years since the loveable lugs known as the
Trailer Park Boys first hit Canadian television.
Set in Nova Scotia s fictional Sunnyvale Trailer Park, the mockumentary focused on the lives of petty criminals Julian, Ricky and Bubbles, their bizarre exploits which included lots of dope growing and even kidnapping Rita MacNeil on one occasion to help harvest the crop as well as frequent drug and alcohol consumption.
And when I reviewed
Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day in 2009 I raved: It could be the funniest Canadian movie ever made. And I meant it.

Hey, how was I to know they were gonna edit it down to The funniest Canadian movie ever made and stick that blurb on the back of the DVD.
According to a press release about the anniversary issued today by Canada Newswire, the show s main characters plan on celebrating the milestone. I am going to smoke 20 joints today, said Ricky, while an already-baked Julian offered: I am out of the vodka-hustling game and into cryptocurrency and NFT s, it s the future .
