Show detail Hide detail

TRAILER PARK BOYS is a short comedic production shot in a faux-documentary style. The show follows the lives of its two main characters, Ricky and Julian, in their lives at the Sunnyvale Trailer Park. In this episode Julian is trying to get some sleep in his empty trailer (the furniture was moved out long ago to make room for dope plants) and has to sleep on the floor and cover himself with an old bear rug. Meanwhile, both Ricky and Bubbles are watching a documentary about sasquatches and are getting pretty freaked out. When Julian, still wrapped in the bear rug tries to get into Bubbles's shed both Ricky and Bubbles start attacking him with baseball bats. In the chaos, Julian manages to get a bat from them and hits them back. Eventually, the guys realize what's going on - they've been beating the crap out of each other. The next day all three boys are quite sore, but Julian decides it's time to steal some furniture to furnish his trailer. So the boys do just that - easily talking a government office out of all its furnishings. Back in Sunnyvale, Julian gets the idea to open a massage parlour in the park to make some extra cash. The boys check into a motel under the name Jim Lahey and have Cory and Trevor steal all kinds of furniture for their business. Returning home once more, they ask J-Roc to staff the establishment and in no time, the business is up and running. Mr. Lahey knows that something's up and is trying to find out what's going on. Meanwhile, business is booming and the guys need additional ladies to work in the parlour. They ask J-Roc to hook them up and he says he knows someone who can provide them with girls. J-Roc's new manager DVS (Detroit Velvet Smooth) says that this is a good opportunity for J-Roc to promote his new album by presenting a tough street image of himself. DVS rather mysteriously tells J-Roc that it's time to make some phone calls. The new workers arrive and just when things seem to be coming together, an unexpected visitor shows up - Cyrus. Turns out he “represents” the women and wants money from the boys immediately. When he finds out they were the ones who vandalised his car, he becomes even angrier and demands they fight him. Of course this is impossible: the boys are too injured from having beaten each other up earlier. Cyrus quickly takes everyone hostage. There is hope: Randy emerges against Mr. Lahey's wishes, and says he will fight Cyrus. Surprisingly, Randy kicks Cyrus's ass and order is restored in the park. The police soon turn up (tipped off by J-Roc) and want some answers. J-Roc takes the fall for the massage parlour and for beating up Cyrus, because time in jail will result in great publicity, improved street cred and, ultimately, increased record sales. The boys have gotten away with yet another scheme. <23mn 25s>
