HILARIOUS!
This show is absolutely hilarious. Anyone who's been drunk and high while being happy can relate. There are so many meme's from this show it's not even funny. I personally love all the characters, the weird setting, the messed up town people. The sexual jokes are disgusting enough to make me cringe, but that's the funny part. The story makes a lot of sense and if you have a hard time following it, then I think something wrong with you *Chinese accent*.
After you watch this show the only thing you can think about is eating hallucinogenic blue glue.. Anyone who loves the boys work with TBP may not love this, because it's much more offense and raunchy. Over all I give it 10 stars for making me rofl, fun story, good music, interesting characters. I think you should give it a try, and make sure to watch it High & on drugs.. Haha!
PS: The boys act so good some characters I didn't realize were them until I watched it a few times and checked the credits :)

Stands the test of time
It's been at least a decade since I've last seen this short series, which I had to rewatch immediately after finishing the first time around, and I find myself thinking about this show so frequently I found myself here today in 2025 to add to the positive review train.
The way the Boys play "themselves" as well as the majority of the wild characters is top notch, especially when the groups face off against each other with slapstick or argue and converse. (Not to take away from the fantastic support from Chaykin, Baruchel, Sedaris, as well as familiar favorites Pat Roach and the legendary John Dunsworth.)
Taking note of the criticisms of the literal drug-induced storyline, the overly raunchy serial jokes like Mike Smith dressed as a babushka doing naughty things to Robb and JP, and Mike (off camera), and the taboo choice to play over the top blackface/yellow face characters. In the same way as South Park played equal opportunity offense to everyone, the Boys intent is to be jarring not offensive in my opinion. It's all part of the absurd and meta nature of the show's concept.
Definitely appeals more to those that have been around recreational hallucinogenics or at least find the topic fascinating. And probably definitely best consumed while drunk and on drugs whether that's a beer and a smoke or root beer and sweets. It's only 6 episodes and it's some of the most unique content you'll have seen all year if not all decade.
I think everyone should see it at least once. Enjoy!

Novel concept, ineffective execution.
This show boldly attempts to use a multitude of random sketch comedy bits to forward a singular story plot.
They fail.
Miserably.
There is a fine line in the world of comedy between ridiculous = FUNNY and ridiculous = STUPID, and this show doesn't just cross that line, it LEAPS across that line into the realm of stupid. Poor timing, poor transitions, and a lack of coherence all work against any potential comedy that may be developed in any given segment. While the individual characters created in each skit COULD indeed be developed into funny stand alone characters and comedy skits, the attempt to merge them into a running story line just doesn't work as executed.
Comedy is a hard genre to tackle, and while I applaud the attempt to mix a sketch comedy format with a running story line, the approach used in the show is simply not effective, and, frankly, not funny.
2 of 10 stars.

Weak
I will hereby remove any Trailer Park Boys influence from my reviewing process and rate this show simply on it's own merit. I will forget that the guys behind 'Drunk and on Drugs Funtime Happy Hour' had helped produce one of the greatest recent comedy shows I have had the pleasure to watch. Because let's face it. The characters in Trailer Park Boys were perfect. They were an ensemble. They all mattered and they were all constructive to the overall quality of the show. I loved everything about the show, from Lahey's continual battle with alcohol and all things sexy, Ricky's take on the English language and his justification of skewed logic and the incredible creation of the character 'Bubbles' to even the most minor of roles. Phil Collins, Jacob, J-Roc, Ray, Trevor, Cory, Lucy, Sarah....they were all so important.
But with this new show there is nothing. Perhaps I just don't 'get it' or maybe I'm never high enough but the show is just poor all round. To those unaware of the plot, J.P, Rob and Mike (Julian, Ricky and Bubbles) are creating a new show but are constantly given some blue drugs created by Doctor Funtime. They get into a number of scrapes and are constantly on the run from a local mafia man and a knife wielding madman amongst other things. Inbetween this ridiculous plot are a number of...well, I suppose i'll call them 'subplots' for now. Basically, it's the boys dressed up as 'characters', much like 'Little Britain' or similar sketch comedy shows. I expect to most, what little humor there is to absorb from them would lie in their appearance. From fat disk jockeys to silly superheroes. There are all of the hallmarks of a costume budget gone wild. In between drugged dazes, the boys find themselves struggling to keep it together, whilst the television network tries in vain to keep on top of the show.
It might sound confusing or just stupid. But that is basically what you will be watching. There is little to laugh about here. A show like this can only work if the characters are watchable, humorous and absorbing. These characters are pointless, bland and definitely not watchable. There is no sign of cohesive plot, no apparent sign of comedy and pretty much nothing to keep you watching.
If a TPB fan is about to embark on this, please don't. You'll only be terribly disappointed. I imagine this is a show that can only have been produced whilst on drugs, yet I think even those higher than a boeng 747 will struggle to enjoy this show.
A mild 3/10

unwatchable
This is similar to when Tommy Wiseau found out everyone was laughing at him and he decided to put out The House That Dripped Blood On Alex and other bad for the sake of being bad movies to capture that lightning in the bottle again.
All the skits are just awful, my brothers friend who is a huge trailer park boys fan said turn it off. That is how bad it was. I honestly wonder what kind of substances you'd have to be on to legitimately enjoy this and be able to binge watch this.
