Ricky LaFleur has a way with words.
So much so that even now, 20 years since the release of Trailer Park Boys, I have friends who still quote the show regularly.
A buddy of mine has actually kind of morphed into Julien. And I think it’s 100% intentional.
Especially as a Canadian, TPB is the best thing to come out of this country, by far. Nothing else even comes close. It goes like:
#3: The telephone
#2: Insulin
#1: Trailer Park Boys
If you’ve ever watched Trailer Park Boys, you know Ricky has a way with words.
Not the right words. Just words. In an order that almost makes sense if you say them fast enough and don’t think too hard about it.
Fans call them “Rickyisms” — phrases that are completely wrong but somehow you know exactly what he means. It’s not stupidity… It’s its own dialect.
The result is some of the most accidentally poetic sentences ever put on television.
Soak ’em up boys.
