The Drunk and on Drugs Happy Funtime Hour

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

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.

Someone needs to hunt down the server drive this is on - burn it and scatter the ashes. This is the worst piece of crap I have every seen. I loved (some of) trailer Park Boys when they kept to their roots, but here they seemed to have slapped together an accidental, make it up as you go plotless mess - maybe because they stumbled into an unattended makeup trailer and went nuts with it. If the "plot" eventually makes some sense there is no way you would want to stay with the bad hammy acting and absurd makeup long enuf to figure it out. Sorry TPB fans - this is a fail.

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.
