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 Mr. James Lahey is once again the Sunnyvale Trailer Park Supervisor and is savouring every moment. He's already holding a bake sale to raise money for a fund that he can use at his discretion for the betterment of Sunnyvale. Meanwhile, the boys find Bubbles trying to extract an infected tooth by tying a string between his tooth and the shed door. This strategy doesn't remove the tooth, but it does manage to give Ricky a broken and bloodied nose in the process. Julian stops the bleeding with an old glue rag, which sticks to Ricky's nose. Julian insists that Bubbles be taken to the hospital so that a doctor can look at his tooth. At first Bubbles refuses - he hates hospitals - but then agrees to go if someone/thing called “Conky” can go with him. Ricky and Julian look at each other: this isn't good. The boys explain that Conky is the name of a ventriloquist doll Bubbles made in grade six. They also explain that when Bubbles operated the doll, something strange happened to him - he seemed to develop a mean alter ego who was especially fond of insulting Ricky. To protect Bubbles, Ricky and Julian threw the doll in the pond years ago. Nevertheless, the guys go to the pond and find Conky. The effect the doll has on Bubbles is spooky. Almost immediately, Conky starts insulting Ricky. Ricky is soon at odds with the dummy in a battle of wits. The guys go to the hospital with Conky offending Ricky the entire time. As soon as the boys enter the hospital, their problems get worse. Bubbles doesn't have a health card, Ricky is swearing and beginning to hallucinate from the fumes of the rag (still stuck to his nose) and Conky is egging him on. Not surprisingly, they are kicked out of the hospital. Meanwhile, the boys are still worried about Bubbles's tooth. Suddenly, they see the answer to their prayers - a sign for the newly re-opened Sam Losco Veterinary Clinic. Granted, Sam is a greasy bastard, but he is a trained medical professional. Ricky and Julian go inside to check things out first while Bubbles waits in the car. While they're gone, Conky notices Mr. Lahey's car in the parking lot and urges Bubbles to find out what's going on. When Bubbles sees Lahey with his cats he freaks out - Conky tells him that Lahey must be there to put them down. Bubbles gets in a fight with Randy and Mr. Lahey. When Sam sees this, he panics and shoots Lahey and Randy with a tranquilizer gun. Julian manages to calm everyone down, but not before the cops have been called. Sam agrees to operate on Bubbles in exchange for Julian taking care of the cops, who will be bad for business. By this point, though, Conky has almost taken over Bubbles's personality. Before things can get even crazier, Julian shoots Conky. The spell is broken and Bubbles has his tooth removed. Ricky convinces the cops that Lahey and Randy wrecked the place, pissed themselves then passed out drunk. The boys in blue buy it. <23mn 25s>
