Trailer Park Boys stands as a peculiar monument in the world of Canadian comedy, a mockumentary that has navigated the murky seas of human folly with laughter and a sense of tragedy. The series, created by Mike Clattenburg and has long been a blank canvas for the absurd, embodying the lives of misfits who live in the made-up Sunnyvale Trailer Park, has a long history.

Here, the strange characters’ existential battle plays out. It’s an exploration of dreams put off and the short-lived nature of happiness in the squalor of their surroundings. Previous films have tried to capture this essence, each with a different take on the theme of chaos and audience. Still, they’ve often gotten mixed reviews, leaving viewers to ponder whether the humor can last beyond the confines of its original format.

The fourth movie in this journey, Standing on the Shoulders of Kitties: The Bubbles and the Shitrockers Story,...

Take a look at more footage from the live-action comedy feature, “Standing on the Shoulders of Kitties: The Bubbles and the Shitrockers Story”, directed by Charlie Lightening, as the latest film from the “Trailer Park Boys’, created by Mike Clattenburg, starring Mike Smith as ‘Bubbles’, Robb Wells as ‘Ricky’ and John Paul Tremblay as ‘Julian’, releasing December 6, 2024 in theaters:

“…’Bubbles’ and his band, ‘The Shitrockers’, embark on a European rock tour, earning a gig opening for ‘Billy Bob Thornton and the Boxmasters’.

“However, after traveling from Nova Scotia to Prague, they are kicked off the tour and must resort to busking to survive and find a way back home.

“Ricky and Julian must figure out how to make their dreams come true again — if that’s still possible…”

With his awkwardly hilarious demeanor and thick-lensed glasses, Bubbles has endured as the breakout character of Trailer Park Boys, and there are many interesting facts to know about his actor, Mike Smith. The character's uniquely passive-aggressive nature comes out in some of Bubbles’s most hilarious profanity-filled quotes. Indulging in one misadventure after the other with his friends Ricky and Julian, Bubbles has turned into a pop culture icon. With the character appearing in the Trailer Park Boys’ original run, its movies, and even spinoffs like the animated series, Bubbles has become synonymous with the mockumentary series, as has the actor who plays him.

When he’s not sporting Bubbles’s spectacles, Mike Smith is also known as one of the founders of the television network Swearnet, which spawned its own movie in 2014. Starting Swearnet with his Trailer Park Boys co-stars Robb Wells and John Paul Tremblay, Smith has established...

Each sports an item fans have come to expect from the trio as Bubbles comes equipped with a kitty, Ricky smokes a cigarette with a pistol in his hand and Julian holds his rum and coke, one of the franchise's longest-running jokes. Fans of the Sunnyvale crew can pick up the Pops! on Amazon or Entertainment where pre-orders are now open.

You've heard of Breaking Bad, Orange Is The New Black & House Of Cards, what about Danger 5, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Darknet and more?…

Quite understandably, column inches can't fill up quickly enough with praise for the likes of Netflix original series House Of Cards, Orange Is The New Black, Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul and Marvel's Daredevil. What though, about some of the lesser-known series available on the UK streaming site?

Sweeping past the well-publicised riches of Doctor Who, Sherlock, Arrested Development, Community and the like, we've ventured into the slightly dustier shelf of TV shows available on Netflix UK that may be lesser-known or less widely celebrated than the big hitters out there, but are still richly deserving of your time. Some are new, some are old, some were cancelled long ago, some are ongoing, several are from outside the UK and Us.

From supernatural, sci-fi,...

There may be a few "Hallelujah" choruses ringing in the halls of the Adult Swim offices this good Friday. The network's latest live-action original, Black Jesus, topped all original cable offerings on Thursday and most of broadcast. The inaugural outing for Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder's (co-created by Mike Clattenburg) latest late-night comedy averaged a solid 0.9 rating among adults 18 to 49 at 11 p.m. That live-plus-same-day showing tops all original competition on cable for the day — not to mention broadcast series The Quest (ABC), Rookie Blue (ABC) and Gang Related

Adult Swim just announced that it's given the greenlight to a new scripted, half-hour live-action comedy to arrive later this year.

Aaron McGruder ("The Boondocks," "Red Tails") created the series and will serve as executive producer alongside director Mike Clattenburg ("Trailer Park Boys").

Previously titled The Guys Who Move Furniture, Trailer Park Boys’ creator/director back behind the camera this year with Moving Day – a slightly less bland re-titling.

Will Sasso (the upcoming The Three Stooges) stars in the lead, alongside Victor Garber (Alias), Charlie Murphy (Night at the Museum [and Eddie’s brother]), and comedian Gerry Dee.

Alliance Films have released the first trailer, giving us our first look at what so far seems to be a bit of a tame workplace comedy – it has nothing on, say, Office Space or Clerks.

Nick Stahl (l.) and company make their away across the plains of Afghanistan in Afghan Luke.

Nick Stahl (Meskada) stars as a wartime journalist trying to do his job on the battle-torn plains of Afghanistan in the 2011 drama Afghan Luke.

They embark on a perilous mission that includes gun fights, parties with soldiers, and getting kidnapped – all on the way to discovering that the country is more dangerous than ever.

Directed by Mike Clattenburg and co-starring Ali Liebert (Apollo 13), comic Lewis Black (TV’s The Daily Show) and Steve Cochrane, Afghan Luke is a Canadian production that made its North American premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.

Alliance Films will release the dramatic thriller Afghan Luke into theatres September, 2011. The film involves two journalists sent to the remote country of Afghanistan in search of a story on Canadian snipers gone bad. What they find is a story on hashish production instead.

Nick Stahl (Mirrors 2), Colin Cunningham ("Falling Skies") and Torrance Coombs ("The Tudors") are some of the principal cast members starring and those who enjoy war torn thrillers can have a closer look at this title when it releases in a limited fashion through Alliance Films late in September.

The Trailer Park Boys actor stars alongside Corey Haim in this mystery-thriller from director Michael Masucci, available on DVD and Blu-ray now

Canadian actor Bernard Robichaud first made his mark on pop culture history by portraying the gun wielding maniac Cyrus on both the Trailer Park Boys TV show and its two spin-off movies. Now, Bernard can be seen acting opposite the late Corey Haim, who makes his final bow as a leading man in director Michael Masucci's thrilling mystery American Sunset. The movie serves as a great send-off for the beloved Haim, and a showcase for Robichaud, who turns in a damn fine dual performance as a Bounty Hunter/Lawyer.

We recently caught up with Bernard Robichaud, who is now touring Canada under the guise of a drug dealing thug not unlike the Trailer Park Boys' Cyrus, for a one-man comedy showcase. After begging him to bring this stage show to America,...
