The Drunk and on Drugs Happy Funtime Hour

Drop a couple of hits, all becomes clear. Pure genius!

It's been at least a decade since I've last seen this short series, which I had to rewatch immediately after finishing the first time around, and I find myself thinking about this show so frequently I found myself here today in 2025 to add to the positive review train.

The way the Boys play "themselves" as well as the majority of the wild characters is top notch, especially when the groups face off against each other with slapstick or argue and converse. (Not to take away from the fantastic support from Chaykin, Baruchel, Sedaris, as well as familiar favorites Pat Roach and the legendary John Dunsworth.)

Taking note of the criticisms of the literal drug-induced storyline, the overly raunchy serial jokes like Mike Smith dressed as a babushka doing naughty things to Robb and JP, and Mike (off camera), and the taboo choice to play over the top blackface/yellow face characters. In the same way as South Park played equal opportunity offense to everyone, the Boys intent is to be jarring not offensive in my opinion. It's all part of the absurd and meta nature of the show's concept.

Definitely appeals more to those that have been around recreational hallucinogenics or at least find the topic fascinating. And probably definitely best consumed while drunk and on drugs whether that's a beer and a smoke or root beer and sweets. It's only 6 episodes and it's some of the most unique content you'll have seen all year if not all decade.

I think everyone should see it at least once. Enjoy!

I watched the first 3 episodes sober and figured what is this crap? I blazed before the last three episodes and it turned it into an amazing show! In short, if you watch it sober it will suck, if you watch it stoned it's pretty damn good.

It took me some time to get used to what was actually going on, because there are several characters (on drugs). But I found myself laughing my ass off. I watched about 5 episodes and discovered that the boys are quite brilliant in their own horrible way. You have to give it more than just 10 minutes.

Its just fun!!

This is undoubtedly the most original program for years. Not since the original SNL cast skits, Monty Python, League of Gentlemen has anything this outrageously creative come to pass. Surpasses Trailer Park Boys by far. Some of the jokes are very transparent, but, hey they had a time slot to fill--then there were the drugs! The various characters are brilliant, and Smith finally gets to shine.

Additionally, Maury Chaykin ("call me Potatoes, Potatoes O'Brien") in his final role, apparently being smuggled out of the hospital for the final scenes, then returned to the hospital where he passed away from terminal cancer the following day.

Genius, pure comic genius! But, if you haven't the slightest fondness of slap-stick, you may not enjoy this much. I'm puzzled why this is described as having 2 episodes when there are 6.

I hope we see something more from the Boys, it's been a while. Cheers 10 out of 10.
