Two “Trailer Park Boys” entertain students during Snowjob
When I first discovered Mr. Lahey and Randy, from the popular Showcase show “Trailer Park Boys,” were coming to Forwell Hall for a Q and A, I was at first quite surprised that it was $5 at the door, when there have been countless great Fanshawe events that have been free of charge. Although, I am a big fan of the “Trailer Parks Boys,” I had a hard time justifying paying five dollars for a Q and A involving only two characters from the show (even if they were Lahey and Randy).
It was just after 7 p.m. when Mr. Lahey, cradling some whiskey and vodka, and Randy, baring his gargantuan-gut, came marching out of the employee Out Back Shack side door. They were welcomed to a crowd of over 100 people, some of which were spirited fans, either dressed as a character from the show (Green Bastard, Ricky…) or adorned in TPB attire. You knew it was time to begin when as they cue to Mr. Lahey, who asks the crowd if they knew where he could get a “drinky poo.”
From the start they maintained their characters precisely. Lahey drank the whole time, while stating his despise for Ricky, J-Rock and others. Randy was of course shirtless during the show and at one point enjoyed a colossal cheeseburger on stage.
From drinks to burgers, the service for them on stage was impeccable, as soon as Lahey would hoot and holler for a “drinky poo” there would be another by his side, unbelievable, we the general people need that sort of service. Although he was drinking, to prove to Randy he wasn't drunk, Lahey successfully maintained a solid handstand for several seconds for concrete proof. After his handstand, Lahey opens a new bottle of whiskey after he had passed-off his previous little bit to a middle-aged man in the crowd.
Ultimately, the show was more than a Q and A. The performance was about capturing the essence of the characters, Mr. Lahey and Randy, in an interactive environment with the crowd.
Ways in which they were interactive included props, which ranged from a resourceful bidet system (made of a heating pad, some tubing and a showerhead) to thongs with funnels attached (allowing women to write their name in snow when peeing).
Other ways in which the show was interactive included a belly-measuring contest (fans would allow their stomachs to be measured for prizes) and a trivia game, which was won by a Ricky-look-alike who, amongst others, competed against a 60-year-old fan of the show.
Amongst the two, homoerotic moments of the night included their skit “Buttman and Robin,” which consisted of Lahey and Randy as a gay duo wearing a Batman and Robin mask. Lahey would have to jerk-off the “buttmobile” to start the engine, once started Randy would embrace Lahey from behind, as they would “ride the butmobile to the scene of the crime.” There were a couple more ten-minute skits similar to “Buttman and Robin” including a “Lone Ranger” and “Tonto” spoof.
Initially reluctant to pay, the show proved to be price worthy. For well over an hour, the two Sunnyvale Supervisors kept a crowd of over 100 quite amused. Therefore, the next time you are contemplating paying to see the “Trailer Park Boys,” don't miss out on another opportunity.
