I got to see the boys, LIVE in Dallas. It was fucking great. We have a shamefully low amount of fans on this site, but the Trailer Park Boys are awesome. Truly one of my favorite acts out there, and I had a blast at their show.
To start things off, me and @der went to The Majestic theater, which is pretty classy. It's golden and artistic inside, and the seats are pretty nice. As soon as we walked in though, you could see how overpriced everything is. The shirts ranged from $40 to $70, probably because the boys are Canadian, and they don't understand the value of real money, but we'll forgive 'em. It is one of their gimmicks to be as greasy as possible.
Der needed a few drinks in him to fully enjoy the experience, so he shed at least $20 on drinks, and $20 on a raffle to hang with them. I'm insanely jealous of him, because he got to touch Randy Bobandy's fat gut. His gut was a prominent aspect of that show. Of course, the camera dicks focus on it for the majority of Randy's screentime, because it's a character in itself.
The audience interaction was pretty great too. They'd shout out lines, and rile people up. One fuckin' girl kept shouting out for Bubbles, even when he wasn't on stage. She was fucked, but goddamnit... this show was funny as hell.
Bubbles basically has a show planned, but Ricky and Randy have to duke it out before the "show" can actually begin, but it is the show. There are plenty of montage clips, and a fair tribute to Lahey. Randy had half of the audience scream "Ricky's-a" and the other half would say, "dick". A lot of the audience would scream "Fuck you, Randy!" throughout the show, and it's funny to think that this is an event where that kind of behavior is welcomed, because the boys are all about being trash.
It seems to be a staple in their stage shows to:
- Attack each other with piss, as well as the audience
- Have Bubbles sing his song "Liquor and Whores"
- Have Julian scamming the audience out of their money
- Get Randy so mad at Ricky that he has to take off the pants
- Cheeseburger jokes
- Audience participation on stage
One of my favorite bits was Randy and Ricky playing "ball-off". That's where they squeeze eachother's ballsacks as hard as they can, and whoever flinches first loses. What a fuckin' game, right?
There was also a whole "Sunnyvale Feud" gameshow that Bubbles hosted:
Bubbles: Name a green vegetable.
Ricky: An orange. Ah, fuck!
Bubbles: Name an animal smaller than a cat.
Ricky: A gorilla! Fuck! No... a 6-inch gorilla!
What a blast... These guys are as funny as they ever were. Bubbles is always the mediator, Julian didn't contribute much other than a screen presence, and Ricky was dumb as fuck, as to be expected. Randy is introduced dancing his gut out to "Jitterbug", and then he legitimately got really sweaty, as per his character.
They did a few Dallas related jokes, like talking about Whataburger, and Texans loving guns. I'm sure the specifics have to change for each city, but damn if those boys aren't great entertainers.
