The Drunk and on Drugs Happy Funtime Hour

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.

Where to even start? This is one bizarre show. Get high. Really high. It's better then...

This show is absolutely hilarious. Anyone who's been drunk and high while being happy can relate. There are so many meme's from this show it's not even funny. I personally love all the characters, the weird setting, the messed up town people. The sexual jokes are disgusting enough to make me cringe, but that's the funny part. The story makes a lot of sense and if you have a hard time following it, then I think something wrong with you *Chinese accent*.

After you watch this show the only thing you can think about is eating hallucinogenic blue glue.. Anyone who loves the boys work with TBP may not love this, because it's much more offense and raunchy. Over all I give it 10 stars for making me rofl, fun story, good music, interesting characters. I think you should give it a try, and make sure to watch it High & on drugs.. Haha!

PS: The boys act so good some characters I didn't realize were them until I watched it a few times and checked the credits :)

This show boldly attempts to use a multitude of random sketch comedy bits to forward a singular story plot.

They fail.

Miserably.

There is a fine line in the world of comedy between ridiculous = FUNNY and ridiculous = STUPID, and this show doesn't just cross that line, it LEAPS across that line into the realm of stupid. Poor timing, poor transitions, and a lack of coherence all work against any potential comedy that may be developed in any given segment. While the individual characters created in each skit COULD indeed be developed into funny stand alone characters and comedy skits, the attempt to merge them into a running story line just doesn't work as executed.

Comedy is a hard genre to tackle, and while I applaud the attempt to mix a sketch comedy format with a running story line, the approach used in the show is simply not effective, and, frankly, not funny.

2 of 10 stars.

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!
