Trailer Park Boys: Out of the Park

The original series was lowbrow comedy gold and gave birth to some great original characters, but this is something different. You have to get past Tom Mayhue and he is not an actor... The version of himself that he plays on this show is reprehensible and I kept hoping Ricky and Julian would "dispose of him," the way they disposed of him the way they disposed of Conky, but unfortunately he's in it for the longhaul. He is the WORST part of the show and if I had quit watching, it would have been because of this vile little man. When he's not on camera it's still a funny show. No, they did not spend 5 minutes throwing up because they didn't "like canned fish."Surströmming is basically rotten fish in a can that tastes like moldy blue cheese, but the Swedes seem to enjoy it. Most people would puke at the smell of that stuff, so the person equating it to regular old canned fish should probably get out of the park themselves.

The difference between a good season of TPB and a great one can be illustrated by missed opportunities. The episode with the 200mph task should have focused on time travel, period. A full episode devoted to the boys thinking they went back i time could have been an all time classic, but instead, it's just a momentary gag. Also, the hangover scene was only a gag but it should have been an epic finale to the season. What happened last night? It was long forgot a couple minutes in. The guest stars absolutely elevate, but aren't always hitting the mark. The basketball player for instance just kind of shows up and stands around for a few. Cool and all, but it could have been more.

Overall though, plenty of good. Season 2 is better than Season 1. It's not among the best of TPB, but it's certainly an addition to the catalogue i'm glad to have.

Don't listen to all the haters, no one who truly gets TPB's would be so critical.

Classic boys shenanigans but in Europe. Can't go wrong

I feel like it was too loosely scripted this time. I love improvisation, but there was no structure here at all. They kept repeating themselves (that damn hunger). I can't possibly rate it lower than a six though, because I love TPB nonetheless...

I was spurned by a lot of bad reviews here but I found this to be hilarious. Is the original series better? Of course. It's 10/10. This is still funny tho.

I think a lot of people expected a continuation of the series with the other characters etc but this is more like the 3 guys in character playing Amazing Race or the Mole or Survivor. If the OG series is a mockumentary then this is their faux reality TV.

I dig the Europe episodes better than American just because the stark difference in culture seems funnier (Ricky getting mad about people using different languages was cracking me up, and Julian was trying way too hard to be cool).

I agree with the complaints about the host/Mayhew/swearnet guy. He's really bland but I kind of felt it was done on purpose. This actually really reminded me of the old Mole reality show and this guy was like knock off Anderson Cooper. But it's whatever, we are here for Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles.
