Trailer Park Boys: Out of the Park – Season 1 Review

Trailer Park Boys: Europe

You can take the boys out of Sunnyvale trailer park, but you can’t take Sunnyvale out of… well, I take that back. Even though Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles stayed true to their personalities while traveling in Europe, they put up with way more crap than they would have ever tolerated back home. Mr. Lahey had always been a great antagonist to “the boys,” because there was so much give and take in those battles. Lahey would lose as often as he would win. In this “Out of the Park” travel spin-off, however, the antagonist is a Swearnet representative with the most punchable face in television who never gets his comeuppance. He mocks the boys right up to the end and even hints that there could be more seasons of this kind of suffering.

Oh, Lord… I really hope this was a one-off experiment. I liked that the boys’ trip was hardly glamorous, though. I was afraid this was going to feel like nothing more than an excuse for them to have fun in Europe. That wasn’t the case at all. Even the celebrities they met were, for the most part, intentional assholes. And the point of the trip quickly became them needing to perform ridiculous tasks to earn enough money to eat. But the Swearnet guy almost always refused to give them their money based on technicalities like, “There were too many people in your photo.” After a while, I just got tired of watching the boys get beaten down and grow increasingly hungry. Consider this a lesson learned and don’t leave the park next time.
