Trailer Park Boys is bad. Someone once defended it by telling me that if I keep watching, "The jokes get really funny around season 5, but you need to have watched the previous 4 seasons to get them." I'm not watching 5 years worth of TV for Stockholm syndrome.

Sidenote: Canadian radio has a by-law where 35% of all music played must be from a Canadian artist.

I've been told this is basically the main reason Nickleback saw any success. Like they were just the default Canadian band that was put on to fill the time quota.

Jono gave Tom Green his start as a regular on Jonovision, then came to America to make it big and vanished forever.

I saw Benita as an extra on X-Files and then years later on Smallville.

The Tom Green cancer special was genuinely moving. You could clearly see a terrified man desperately making jokes, as if the second he stopped laughing the reality of the situation would completely crush him.

"I couldn't stop saying aloud how miscast Jim Carrey was!"
Am I the only one going to stand up for Royal Canadian Air Farce (up until the cast changed)? That was close to a decade of good stuff until they weren't just the main four. Roger and John being dead now sucks balls.

Also:

-Most of the Mainframe stuff
-Red Green, before Harold moved to the city
-the Anti-Gravity Room needs to come back

i saw the first episode of trailer park boys and it was really unfunny. i thought it was just a fluke and maybe it's one of those shows that just sucks in the first few seasons so I skipped to some episode in season 7 i think and some fat guy with a fake lisp was burning some stuff because of something about a driveway and the joke was they were doing it late at night and they woke some guy up and he told them to knock it off he was sleeping

bad show
