Bingeworthy Review: Trailer Park Boys: out of the Park: Europe

It’s another week, and today I got another Bingeworthy review for all you lovelies out there. This week, I am reviewing a short spin-off series, of a show I had already reviewed a few months ago. Granted, I gave that show poor reviews but whatever. Anyway. let’s review: Trailer Park Boys: out of the Park Europe.

If you have ever seen the Trailer Park Boys, you’ll know that it is notorious for being foul-mouthed, white trash and to put it generally, f%$ked. The three main characters are: Ricky, the white trash, foul-mouthed, drug dealer. Bubbles the kind, intelligent kitten loving nerd. and Julian, the musclebound, alcoholic leader of the group. The original show centered around these three friends living in Sunnyvale trailer Park and followed them stealing, smoking dope, and cursing their mouths off like there’s no tomorrow.

In the spin-off that just released on Netflix on October 28, takes the three main trailer park boys and take them out of the trailer park, and have them tour around Europe. I mean, you could have probably guessed that much based on the title, but whatever I have to write at least five hundred words for each article. That’s why I wrote “Five Hundred” instead of “500” like a normal person. Where was I? So the show takes the three main characters and put them in a completely different scenario. Instead of trying to make ends meet with illegal activities, they are met with an entirely different problem.

The guys at Swearnet (if you ever seen the show, you’ll know that Swearnet is the entertainment company that films and “documents” the Trailer Park Boys.) promise Ricky, Bubbles and Julian a free paid vacation across Europe. However, that is not the case. Due to a certain Character not reading the contract, the boys aren’t getting paid without a little work. and not work you’d think like live shows or stealing or dealing drugs. The boss of swearnet gives the boys a list of ridiculous tasks to complete in order to make any money. Along the way they meet some pretty big names in the entertainment industry (in Europe anyways.) people like Crosby Stills and Nash, and Noel Fielding (old greg from the mighty boosh, and Richmond from the IT Crowd.) Can the boys make any money to buy Dope, Liquor or even food?

Trailer Park Boys Out of the Park Europe is a completely different monster as oppose to the original show. The spinoff is a bit like an idiot abroad, where you take a couple of white trash morons and out them in a completely different society. The jokes are pretty much limited to Ricky Bubbles and Julian reacting to their new surroundings with no money and having to do ridiculous things to get by. They are deviating from what they originally were, but it falls short when you realize these are just characters and not actual white trash morons embarrassing themselves throughout Europe.

Overall the spin-off is not terrible. It definitely has a scripted “An idiot Abroad” feel to it with a little bit of a “top gear; Complete these challenges” aspect to it. The show does have its moments and it is pretty short so it's not like you'd waste any time with it. If you're a fan of Trailer park boys I think it’s a good watch, but if you're unfamiliar with the style of comedy then don do it.

Score: 3.5/5

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
