https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/63ebf4b9df97e600fdcb343c127cb03e.png

"Listen, Ricky, you're only at school for one reason, and that's to sell drugs."
A career criminal and usually the mastermind of the boys' schemes, although they inevitably go awry.

  • Agent Scully: Always brushes off any concerns from either Ricky or Bubbles about ghosts, samquantches, zombies and other supernatural creatures being real.
  • The Alcoholic: Downplayed. The Running Gag is that he always has a drink in his hand, but we don't often see him really hammered. One of the few times we do is when he's drinking swish, a sign he's hit Rock Bottom.
  • Balance, Speed, Strength Trio: Speed to Ricky's Strength and Bubbles' Balance.
  • Beard of Sorrow: Julian's beard in season 11 is much bigger and fuller while he is living in a storage unit poaching lobsters.
  • Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Beauty to Ricky's Brawn and Bubbles' Brains.
  • Berserk Button: Calling him "Alcky" or comparing him to Patrick Swayze or mentioning Dirty Dancing.
  • Better the Devil You Know: During the season 2 premiere When Bubbles explains that Lahey could soon be replaced as trailer park supervisor, Julian points out that they need Lahey in charge because he can control him.
  • The Big Guy: Big and muscular.
  • Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Brunet to Ricky's Redhead and Bubbles' Blond.
  • The Chessmaster: He's very sharp and has lots of tricks up his sleeve when it comes to scheming and doing crimes, but he's usually hampered by Bubbles and Ricky. He's also the one to come up with moneymaking schemes, whether it be working with crooked prison guards to grow dope for sale in prison or planning to buy Sunnyvale with the profits from selling dope at a rap concert.
  • Comically Serious: Easily the most deadpan and stoic member of the trio. Has very few of the iconic quotes attributed to him, and few comedic elements to him beside carrying a drink everywhere. Nevertheless, his interactions with such absurd characters and annoyed reactions to the circumstances he finds himself in are what make him so hilarious as a character.
  • Comic Trio: The Only Sane Man.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Depends on which side you're on while defining "evil", but Julian has no ill intentions for anyone when entering a situation.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Doesn't allow stealing from people in the park or especially from kids. He was also disgusted with Ricky using children to help steal barbecues.
  • Even the Guys Want Him: Particularly Mr. Lahey.
  • Failure Is the Only Option: Julian's attempts at finding romance typically end in failure.
  • Fatal Flaw: While certainly brilliant, Julian has a nasty tendency to freeze up when questioned by authorities and has trouble thinking on his feet. His greed has also led to him emotionally manipulating his friends with the belief that the end justifies the means.
  • Fighter, Mage, Thief: Thief to Ricky's Fighter and Bubbles' Mage.
  • Freudian Trio: Ego to Ricky's Id and Bubbles' Superego.
  • Four-Temperament Ensemble: Melancholic.
  • Genius Bruiser: Julian is an avid reader and the thinker of the crew. Julian's also usually the one to handle the business side of the boys' dope deals. He's also by far the most physically imposing member of the trio, strong enough to easily carry both Corey and Trevor on his shoulders and rip a fridge door off its hinges with his bare hands.
  • Gentle Giant: Although a badass criminal, he's a generally nice guy who would do anything for his friends. He's also built like a brick house and strong enough to run while carrying two people
  • Good Is Not Nice: Has a chip on his shoulder most of the time, save for the rare occasions times he actually gets to unwind and have a good time.
  • Humiliation Conga: The first couple of episodes of Season 4 are this for Julian. He has to take the bus back to Sunnyvale from prison because Ricky and Bubbles missed his phone message to pick him up, Bubbles keeps him from going back home because Ricky's turned it into a grow-op and needs time to get rid of the evidence, he gets thrown in the drunk tank by George Green after a drunken Bubbles pushes George too far, he loses almost all his possessions because Ricky cleaned out his trailer to set up a grow-op, and he's broke because Ricky maxed out a bunch of credit cards in his name.
  • Iconic Item: Julian is almost never seen without a drink in his hand, regardless of where he is or what he's doing.
  • Iconic Outfit: When he's not in jail and wearing a prison uniform, Julian is always wearing a black muscle shirt.
  • Informed Attractiveness: Julian is, while muscular and not unattractive, more or less a conventional looking guy. Every season has several moments where characters are caught up by how attractive he is, leading to several Even the Guys Want Him moments.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a criminal through and through and can be unpleasant in his illegal activities but he genuinely cares about not only his friends but all the people in the park, making sure Cyrus only points his gun at him and stating he'll take a bullet for anyone from the park(even Lahey who he doesn't like), spending time with his elderly neighbour Mrs. Peterson and even buying trailers just to sell them back to evicted residents at a reduced cost. Bubbles even states he has the biggest heart in the trailer park.
  • Knight, Knave, and Squire: Knight to Ricky's Knave and Bubbles' Squire.
  • Limited Wardrobe: The other characters change clothes regularly, but Julian always wears a black t-shirt, blue or black jeans, and black boots with occasional jewelry.
  • Mr. Fanservice: He's very muscular and regularly wears a tight black shirt. Lampshaded often by Lahey in later seasons who regularly refers to him as sexy.
  • Mr. Vice Guy: For the most part, Julian has as good intentions as a career criminal can have- pulling off one job to allow him and his friends to retire. His greed gets in the way of this though, and as the show goes on, his goals warp to that of getting rich.
  • Never Gets Drunk: Most of the time but gets averted when he switches to homemade 'swish'.
  • Nice Mean And In Between: The in-between to Bubbles' nice and Ricky's mean. Though he pushes the envelope, he rarely gets mean with those he considers his loved ones. However he is still a tough guy and isn't afraid to mix things up with people if they push him far enough.
  • Not So Stoic: When he's hit rock bottom and drinking swish he's clearly off his rocker. When Bubbles sets his mountain lion free, Julian and Ricky are clearly moved to tears despite denying it.
  • Only Sane Man: Amongst all the crazy characters of the park, Julian is this. Hell, he borders on The Comically Serious at times.
  • Pet the Dog: During the season 6 finale, Julian buys all the trailers of the residence who were evicted and sells them back at a reduced cost. Bubbles goes as far as saying he has the biggest heart of anyone in the trailer park because of this.
  • Right for the Wrong Reasons: In season 11, Julian suspects Lahey of lying about being Ricky's true father in order to sabotage their latest operation from within. Though he's ultimately proven right on the matter in regards to Lahey not being Ricky's father, Lahey truly had no ill intent and genuinely thought he was. This unfortunately leads to one of Lahey's worst relapses into alcoholism and drives the conflict for the rest of the season.
  • Speed, Smarts and Strength: Again Speed to again Ricky's Strength and Bubbles' Smarts.
  • Straight Man: He's usually the cool, levelheaded one in comparison to neurotic Bubbles and absurd, foul-mouthed Ricky.
  • Team Dad: To Ricky and Bubbles, and really to the whole gang. They're a dysfunctional family, but he loves the boys.
  • The Three Faces of Adam: Prophet to Ricky's Lord and Bubbles' Hunter.

     Ricky 

Ricky

Portrayed by: Robb Wells

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8ca90e94b838e2355daec8f1f4323099.jpg

"I just need to get my life back together and start growin' some dope."
Julian's best friend since childhood, a dimwitted dope dealer and perennial delinquent.

  • Advance Notice Crime: At the end of season 3, Ricky decides that he wants to go back to jail for his own reasons, so he starts carrying out a long list of crimes to get the police to arrest him, including this little gem:
    Ricky: (to a crowd of people outside a supermarket, while sitting on top of his car) Hey, everybody! Come on over here, please! I just want you guys to know that I am drunk as fuck, driving around town drunk, I'm on dope, and I want you to call the police! I wanna go back to jail! Please? Not only that, (pulls out a gun) but I got a loaded handgun right here. (loads the handgun) I'm gonna start firing this off, so please call the cops. (he fires the gun twice, only for his audience to run off) What, you're not gonna call the police?!
  • Anachronism Stew: Has a pompadour even though it's the 21st century. This combined with his houndstooth shirt, leather jacket, and the low top Doc Martens he wears during the first 7 seasons give off a very rockabilly vibe as well.
  • Animal Nemesis: Ricky despises squirrels.
  • Balance, Speed, Strength Trio: Strength to Julian's Speed and Bubbles' Balance.
  • Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Brawn to Julian's Beauty and Bubbles' Brains.
  • Berserk Button: He has a couple:
    • Being called "Reveen".
    • He really, really hates squirrels. When they're not eating his dope plants and peeing in the dirt, they're causing electrical fires that burn down half his trailer.
    • He also hates seeing dogs being left in cars on hot days. When he sees a dog locked in a car, he goes into a screaming rage trying to get the dog's owner to get it out of there. He doesn't get a response, so he shoots the car window out, unlocks the door and takes the dog back to the park with him. He then gives the dog to his grandson Mo as a pet. It's worth noting that none of the people who saw Ricky break into the car to save the dog tried to stop him.
    • Ricky is well aware that he's not bright, but pointing out his lack of education is one of his sore spots. Lahey remarks to Ricky once that he'll never have his "Grade 11", and Ricky's expression says enough. He later takes revenge on Lahey by siccing the Bottle Kids on him.
    "He can stick his Grade 11 up his ass."
  • Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Redhead to Julian's Brunet and Bubbles' Blond.
  • Buffy Speak: Well, that's one way of putting it. Anytime he tries to sound smart or be any kind of assertive, it winds up a combination of this, Malapropers and Cluster F Bombs.
  • Butt-Monkey: Whenever Cory and Trevor aren't filling the role.
  • Celebrity Resemblance: In-universe, it's occasionally pointed out how Ricky's moustache and pomp make him vaguely resemble Australian hypnotist Peter Reveen. Ricky to say the least, doesn't appreciate it (see above).
  • Character Development: Subtle but noticeable. At the start of the series, Ricky is the Token Evil Teammate. He's selfish, abrasive, Hot-Blooded, and often bullies other residents of the park. As the series progresses, Ricky becomes the most well intentioned member of the trio, often prioritizing his family above all else. This is a stark contrast to Julian and Bubbles, who ironically become more abrasive and more like Ricky in the early seasons.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Partly due to his massive appetite for weed, but... Ricky has some strange ideas about things.
  • Comic Trio: The Leader.
  • Costume Porn: Ricky's taste in shirts and sneakers is impeccable.
  • The Cuckoolander Was Right: Sometimes, these strange ideas are actually correct.
  • Cuckoosnarker: Ricky is surprisingly capable of delivering clever remarks or comebacks, despite his stupidity.
  • Disability Superpower: He was once dead long enough for it to be much too late to resuscitate a normal person. However, Bubbles correctly guesses that because he's so dumb, his brain doesn't use nearly as much oxygen as a normal person's brain, so he was still able to be saved.
  • Even Evil Has Standards:
    • Ricky hates armed robbers. Whenever a store he's in is getting robbed, Ricky will pull out his gun and try to stop the robbers. Unfortunately, he nearly ruins more than one of Julian's schemes this way.
    • There are a lot of things that set Ricky off, but what really makes him explode is seeing a dog trapped in a car on a hot day. He goes so far as to shoot the car's window out, unlock the door and take the dog back to the park with him. And nobody who saw Ricky breaking into the car tried to stop him.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Finds sleeping with whores "greasy".
  • Evil Parents Want Good Kids: He doesn't want Trinity to grow up to be a criminal like him.
  • Family Man: Ricky has many, many faults, but he does love his family unconditionally and wants to provide for them.
  • Fighter, Mage, Thief: Fighter to Julian's Thief and Bubbles' Mage.
  • Freudian Trio: Id to Julian's Ego and Bubbles' Superego.
  • Friend to All Children: Aside from being a doting father, he's extremely kind to Trina Lahey in season 2 and season 8 shows him volunteering to coach a kids hockey team. He also mentioned once that kids in the park come to him to learn about working on cars and growing dope(he means well but he doesn't realize this is wrong/illegal).
    • Lahey mentions early on that the "bottle kids" look up to Ricky, and in season 4 we do see them halt in their tracks as soon as Ricky tells them never to throw bottles at him.
  • Four-Temperament Ensemble: Choleric.
  • Genius Ditz: Easily one of the dumber characters in the show, he's tremendous at dealing with the authorities and of course, growing dope.
  • Good Parents: Tries as best he can to be a good father to Trinity. He is also a doting grandparent to The Motel.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: Any number of things, no matter how minor an inconvenience, can get Ricky pissed off, and that usually happens several times an episode.
  • Heroic Bystander: Ricky turns into this whenever he encounters an armed robbery. He'll pull out his gun and start shooting at the robbers.
  • Hot Blooded Sideburns: Has epic mutton chops and a Hair-Trigger Temper.
  • Hypocrite:
    • Surprisingly defied. During season 8 the boys are tasked with doing an anti-drugs and alcohol demonstration at a local school. Ricky quickly points out how hypocritical that would be, but is forced to go with it anyway.
    • Subverted in the season 3 finale. Ricky states that Trinity shouldn't steal... because he can steal anything she needs. The subversion comes in when one realizes that this is because Ricky doesn't want Trinity to become a criminal like him.
  • Idiot Savant: While easily one of the densest characters on the show, Ricky is also shown to be quite cunning when he actually gets around to using his brain. He's great at pulling Bavarian Fire Drills to get out of trouble, either with the police, or anyone else. He also seems to have at least some knowledge about the law, such as when he successfully convinced a judge to allow him to smoke and swear in court. In season 11, he successfully calculated a complex math equation in his head, which was only easy because weed was involved. This even impresses Bubbles who quickly lampshades how easy math would've been for him had he applied weed to it.
  • Immune to Drugs:
    Bubbles: You're Dope Man! You can smoke a pound in a single bound.
    • At the end of Season 10, he is accidentally shot and a fragment of the bullet becomes lodged in his temporal lobe, putting him into a coma for weeks. Weed wakes him up.
  • Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Ricky never hits a moving target with his shots, likely due to decades of substance abuse. Of course, Ricky himself tends to get shot a lot, an interesting variant of this trope.
  • Insane Troll Logic: How his brain works. For example, he gets a cat to guard his weed plants to protect them from squirrels.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold:
    • Say what you will about his foul mouth and inability to go a day in his life without breaking some kind of law, but he would do anything for his friends and family when push come to shove. Especially apparent in how much he cares for Trinity.
    • Early in season 1, Ricky tries to shoot a porno with J-Roc so he can provide for Lucy, ultimately he refuses to go through with it because he genuinely loves Lucy and isn't capable of cheating on her.
    • He's also fairly kind to children in general considering himself a role model for the kids in the park.
    • Ricky admits he never wants to have a fortune and only wants enough to coast on by through life while having fun and smoking weed. Whenever Ricky does get money he says that he gives food and presents to his father and other loved ones; as he doesn't really have any other idea on how to use it. Which says a lot about him as a person if he can only think of treating his family right as the only way to spend money.
  • Kavorka Man: Despite his abrasive personality, he and Lucy just keep getting back together. Also has been with Sarah at least twice and almost married Barb in season 4.
  • The Klutz: Ricky is very prone to tripping, falling and crashing into people/things.
  • Knight, Knave, and Squire: Knave to Julian's Knight and Bubbles' Squire.
  • "Knock Knock" Joke: After the other person says "Who's there?", Ricky will usually launch into a long-winded rant about them instead of continuing the joke properly. Alternatively, he'll just give them the finger.
  • Lack of Empathy: Ricky is very devoted to his friends and loved ones. No, where he lacks empathy is in regards to Cory and Trevor, and anyone serving the role of Cory and Trevor.
    • Subverted on occasion, such as season 6 where he stops in the middle of a crime to talk to Trevor when the latter is depressed about being separated from Cory.
  • Limited Wardrobe: Subverted. The first two seasons only have him wearing the same 3-5 shirts, and in season 5 he only wears his houndstooth shirt, but he in fact has at least 30 unique shirts throughout the series. Played straight with his tear away track pants, which seem to be his only pair until season 9 or 10 when he gets a few more pairs.
  • Made of Iron:
    • Played for laughs. Considering the amount of punishment he takes over the course of the series, it's a wonder anybody bothers to worry when he gets hurt.
    Trinity (On Ricky being frozen): The thing about my dad is he's been electrocuted, shot, got in car accidents...we just thawed him out, gave him a joint, and he's fine.
    • Subverted in season 10. He's shot by a stray bullet that lodges in his temporal lobe, leaving him braindead. Played straight when he he's given a joint and wakes up with seemingly no long term brain damage.
  • Malaproper: Seen here.
  • Missing Mom: His mom, Tammy. Apparently, she left to avoid anyone finding out that Lahey is Ricky's real father, even though he actually isn't.
  • Mr. Vice Guy: His (at times literal) Hair-Trigger Temper and assumption that he cannot go clean clash with the fact that he's otherwise a relatively pleasant person. While Julian and Bubbles get more greedy/prideful as the series goes on, Ricky slowly becomes the one with the most wholesome intentions.
  • Nice Mean And In Between: The mean to Julian's in-between and Bubbles' nice. Ricky flies off the handle to almost everyone, especially if he feels he's been wronged. If there's a confrontation of any kind, expect Ricky to be the first to suggest some form of violence.
  • Papa Wolf: Do not mess with Trinity. When Ricky learns that Jacob got Trinity pregnant, he initially goes berserk. While he eventually calms down and accepts the situation, things could have ended very badly.
  • Parental Substitute: With the disappearance of Phil Collins, Ricky acts as a father figure to Jacob.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: Played With, During the season 3 finale, Ricky claims that Trinity shouldn't be stealing, because he could steal anything she needs. However, at the same time he's doing this to encourage Trinity not to become a criminal like him, so this also qualifies as Even Evil Has Standards. Granted, Ricky's status as a villain is also somewhat debatable, depending on who you ask.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech:
    • Gives one to Lahey after being fired from mall security.
    Ricky: Knock-knock.
    Lahey: Who's there, Rick?
    Ricky: Somebody.
    Lahey: "Somebody" who?
    Ricky: Somebody whose ex-wife owns the fucking trailer park is the only reason you got the job as trailer park supervisor. You got fired from the police force 'cause you fucked up big time, but we're not going to talk about that, are we? And now you're gonna get fired from this job cause you're nothing but a drunk fucking idiot who can't even run the trailer park. You're drunk right now, I can smell the fucking liquor on you from here. Go away for eighteen months to jail and everything goes to fucking shit, doesn't it, Lahey? Like your little buddy, with his fucking no shirt, moving in with my girlfriend and ruining my whole fucking life. Now there's fucking shit everywhere in this fucking trailer park. Fucking idiot.
    • He gives another to both Lahey and Randy before heading to the border:
    Ricky: Knock-knock.
    Randy: Who's there?
    Lahey: Randy?
    Ricky: I'll tell you who's fucking there. A drunk washed up police officer who arrested Lucy, put pepper all over her when she's pregnant, which is fucked, and now he's got nothing better to do than to scam reward money from some stupid Dirty Dancing fucking train. All to win the love of a half naked Chia Pet gut who likes to steal other people's girlfriends and knock them up, isn't that right, Randy? (sprays them both) You're both dumb as fuck. You're drunk again, Jim. Big time. (sprays them again) And you both fucking lose and it feels great.
  • Refuge in Audacity: Employed regularly when stealing things or talking his way out of an arrest.
  • Sir Swears Alot: One of the sweariest characters in television history. Almost every other word out of his mouth is "fuck."
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Ricky really hates squirrels.
  • Smoking Is Cool: So cool, he got Trinity doing it!
  • Sophisticated as Hell: As he himself puts it. "If I don't smoke and swear, I'm fucked." Because he is able to not only hold minor and major conversations well despite his constant use of foul language; he is also able to think on his feet better and get himself and his friends out of jail when he does.
  • Speed, Smarts and Strength: Again Strength to again Julian's Speed and Bubbles' Smarts.
  • The Three Faces of Adam: Lord to Julian's Prophet and Bubbles' Hunter.
  • Took a Level in Dumbass: Ricky is much dumber in the animated series than usual. Though this could be because he’s tripping on mushrooms along with the other main characters.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Pepperoni. By itself, not on pizza. He also likes chicken fingers a lot.
  • Trickster Archetype: At least when it comes to cops.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Ricky gives one to his friends (and Cory and Trevor) after he got caught up in a grocery store robbery.
    Ricky: I may not have done all the right stuff in my life or done smart stuff, but guys, maybe I shouldn't be commenting here, but that was pretty fuckin' dumb, alright? You're robbing a fuckin' grocery store, you didn't even tell me, I'm fuckin' on video tape now firing handguns with no mask on! You guys are fuckin' dumb!

Bubbles

Portrayed by: Mike Smith

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d0681470b021e3d7e18042285e9627ca.png

"Decent!"
An old friend of Ricky and Julian's, Bubbles happily lives in a shed in Sunnyvale and considers the boys to be True Companions even when he's hesitant to get into their hijinks.

  • Animal Nemesis: It's downplayed, but as a cat person Bubbles really doesn't like dogs.
  • Badass Adorable: By far the nerdiest and most jittery guy on the show, and yet he's always right in the midst of the chaos.
  • Badass Bookworm: Bubbles isn't just a talented gunslinger, but well-read in Greek philosophy, a natural entrepreneur and engineer.
  • Balance, Speed, Strength Trio: Balance to Ricky's Strength and Julian's Speed.
  • Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Brains to Ricky's Brawn and Julian's Beauty.
  • Berserk Button: Do NOT threaten his kitties.
    • Calling him a "googly eyed bastard," is another one. Conky found this out the hard way.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: You never know, said nice one might have a Jerkass Split Personality channeled through a hand puppet.
    • Never mess with his kitties!
  • Blind Without 'Em: Hell, he can't even see that well with 'em.
  • Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Blond to Ricky's Redhead and Julian's Brunet.
  • Character Catchphrase: When things don't go his way or something bad happens, he might shout at the top of his lungs "COCK-SUCKER!"
  • Cloudcuckoolander: He lives in a shed with his many cats. Bubbles may actually seem intellectually disabled because of his awkward gait and absentmindedness, but he actually seems to be one of the smartest people on the show.
  • Comic Trio: The Fool.
  • Consulting Mister Puppet: Bubbles has created a few different puppets that seem to express his darker side and he gets into arguments with.
  • Cowardly Lion: Bubbles is prone to freaking out and anxiety related to the boy's crimes. But, he always sticks with them through thick and thin.
  • Crazy Cat Man: He tries to adopt a mountain lion as one of his kitties.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Part of Bubbles' funniest moments is him snarking about the crazy situations around him.
  • Doesn't Like Guns: Bubbles absolutely hates guns, and always ensures he aims far away from his intended target so that he doesn't hurt anyone.
  • Excellent Judge of Character: He's immediately distrustful of the Bible Pimp, and is proven to be correct in his thinking.
  • Freudian Trio: Superego to Ricky's Id and Julian's Ego.
  • Fighter, Mage, Thief: Mage to Ricky's Fighter and Julian's Thief.
  • Four-Temperament Ensemble: Both Phlegmatic and Sanguine.
  • The Gunslinger: Bubbles is the best marksman of the boys, which is why whenever they plan on getting into a gunfight he's usually given something like an AK-47 when everyone else has handguns.
  • The Heart: As unhinged as Julian and especially Ricky can be at times, they're often worse when he's not around and he can talk them out of doing very questionable things.
  • It's Not You, It's My Enemies: In the Christmas Special, this turns out to be the reason why his parents abandoned him. His father pissed off the wrong people with his gambling debts and his parents knew that he would be safer in the park with Julian looking after him than he would be going on the run with them.
  • Karma Houdini: Bubbles usually manages to escape getting arrested by the police in some way, to the point that even Randy convinces the cops to let him go at one point. Subverted at the end of Seasons 4 and 8, when he ends up in jail along with Ricky and Julian.
  • Kindhearted Cat Lover: So much so, he keeps trying to make businesses centered around taking care of them.
  • Knight, Knave, and Squire: Squire to Ricky's Knave and Julian's Knight.
  • Morality Pet: Seems to be this for Ricky and Julian.
  • Mr. Vice Guy: While being the heart of the boys for most of the series, recent seasons have shown him getting much more snippy, arrogant, and a big head whenever good fortune arrives to him. In the USA season of "Out of the Trailer Park", he's bullying Julian and Ricky around in order to shoot a country music video so he'll be a breakout artist.
  • Nice Mean And In Between: The nice to Ricky's mean and Julian's in-between. As The Heart of the main trio, Bubbles' kindness tends to rub off on the others, and they tend to be even more unpleasant when he's absent.
  • Parental Abandonment: His parents left him to go on the run from the mob. By the time of the third movie, they're confirmed to be dead.
  • Parts Unknown: His wrestler persona 'The Green Bastard'.
  • Sanity Slippage: Whenever Bubbles gets very stressed out (Season 7 and 8's finales for example), he tends to use puppets to express some very acrimonious feelings towards his friends and enemies alike.
  • Smart People Wear Glasses: Ricky's father Ray describes Bubbles as the "sharpest guy in the park".
  • Smarter Than You Look: Bubbles' intelligence gets underestimated because of how he looks. When the Bible Pimp asks Ray if Bubbles is crazy, Ray retorts that he's the sharpest guy in the park.
  • Speed, Smarts and Strength: Smarts to again Ricky's Strength and Julian's Speed.
  • Split Personality: Bubbles has occasionally demonstrated a split personality that he expresses through puppets like Conky and the puppet he made in Season 8. These puppets tend to express the darker side of Bubbles' personality, and come out when he's stressed or delirious, like when he had an infected tooth.
  • The Three Faces of Adam: Hunter to Ricky's Lord and Julian's Prophet.
  • Token Good Teammate: Relatively speaking. When Lahey uncovers proof that he was unjustly fired from the police force decades earlier, he asks Bubbles to testify on his behalf, seeing him as the only one of the trio with even a shred of a conscience.
  • Verbal Tic: Has a tendency to insert the word 'cocksucker' into most of his sentences, usually when referring to certain people or even certain objects.
  • What Were You Thinking? He and Julian admonish Ricky for getting school kids inolved in their barbecue scheme.
    Bubbles: Ricky, those laws are there to protect kids, not to allow goofballs like you to put them in a car with no door on it and drive around the fuckin' neighbourhood stealin' barbecues!

Lahey Family

     Mr. Lahey 

Jim Lahey

Portrayed by: John Dunsworth

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/902c7ff56344f64446e15a5bbdc3bdf5.png

Randy: Mr. Lahey, is this you talking or the liquor?
Lahey: Randy, I am the liquor
Trailer park supervisor, alcoholic, and main antagonist for much of the series. The real life actor who potrayed him John Dunsworth died from an unexpected illness on October 16, 2017, and Season 12 was his final ever appearance on the show.

  • Abhorrent Admirer: In later seasons he develops a rather creepy attraction to 'Sexian'.
  • The Alcoholic: Oh hell yeah. Lahey might have driven the boys out long ago if it wasn't for the fact that his default setting is sloshed. Without liquor, he's not only more levelheaded, but a borderline doormat for people.
    • At this point the trope could be called The Lahey. One of the most iconic moments in the series:
    Randy: Is this you talking, or the liquor?
    Jim Lahey: Randy... I am the liquor.
  • Ambiguously Bi: It's never made fully clear whether Lahey is bisexual, or gay and only used Barb to keep up appearances before their divorce, and later as a power move when he gets reinstated as a cop in Season 7 (as she also owns the park). Notably, after Lahey moves in with Barb again at the beginning of Season 7, she invites Randy to move in with them in an implied polyamorous relationship, telling Randy her hope for a relationship that would keep everyone "satisfied." Her relationship with Lahey tanks again almost immediately after they kick Randy out.
  • Anti-Villain: Lahey is trying to take out the boys, as they are criminals who constantly break the law. That being said, Lahey often takes his obsession too far and makes the situation worse.
  • Archnemesis Dad: Out of the three boys, he despises Ricky the most, and the feeling is mutual. Then in the Season 10 finale, he confesses to a comatose Ricky that he is actually his real father and not Ray. Subverted with The Reveal in Season 11
  • Ax-Crazy: On one occasion he thinks he's still a cop and goes crazy, shooting at any "perps" he can find and locking them up in the "prison" that is his repurposed shed.
  • Better the Devil You Know: Happens twice. Once with Cyrus, the other with Sam Losco.
  • Big Bad (or Big Good from his perspective)
  • Cassandra Truth: One of the reasons why simply calling the cops on the boys in response to their illegal activities ceases to become effective.
  • The Chessmaster: On a good day, he's always a step ahead of the boys. Especially at the end of season 8 when he traps the boys out of nowhere and has them put in jail... although he didn't count on being taken as well.
  • Cool Shades: The kind you see real cops wear, instead of slobbering drunk supervisors.
  • Depraved Bisexual: Well, kind of. He's undeniably kinky, but he's also apparently faithful to Randy.
  • Enemy Mine: Works with the Boys on several occasions in the early seasons.
  • Enmity with an Object: In Season 10 he carries around a breathalyzer and keeps his BAC capped to a specific level. As his stress level builds up, he starts getting angry with it for reporting that he's not due for another drink.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: He may be a cruel, vindictive alcoholic and holds little to nothing back in his vendetta against the boys (mostly Ricky) but he draws the line at mistreating the rule abiding park residents, calling Randy out in season 6 for kicking out a resident that was behind on lot fees, scolding Randy that the man in question had lived in Sunnyvale since before Randy was born.
  • He Who Fights Monsters: At the start of the series he's pretty reasonable and just wants to clean up the park from drunken criminals, but over the course of the first few seasons he eventually becomes a greater menace to society than the boys themselves.
  • I Am the Trope: He's famous "I am the Liquor" line, which later gets a Call-Back in "Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys" when after several failures against the Boys he has a brief identity crisis and starts thinking that maybe he's not the liquor after all, until Randy reassures him.
    Randy: You are the liquor, Mr. Lahey. You've always been the liquor.
  • I Am What I Am: For much of the show his greatest wish was to be reinstated to the police force, and eventually it does happen. At the end of the season, he resigns willingly, feeling that his true calling is to be a drunk trailer park supervisor. note  However, since Status Quo Is God he goes back to desperately trying to become a cop again in the next season.
  • Jerkass: Even on his good days, Jim Lahey is a vicious, bitter, drunken asshole.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: One reason for Lahey's vendetta against the boys is because he thinks they, especially Ricky, cause no end of trouble for the rest of the park. And multiple episodes show that he's often right.
  • Knight Templar: He loves Sunnyvale as much as any of the other residents. One of the reasons he goes to such obsessive lengths to get the boys driven out of the park is because he thinks their antics cause grief for the rest of Sunnyvale.
  • Liquid Courage: He invokes this by name an awful lot, but usually consumes too much for it to be helpful.
  • Luke, I Am Your Father: At the end of season ten, it's revealed that Jim Lahey is the real father to Ricky and not Ray. Apparently Barb knew about this as well for years and the rest of the characters are still blissfully unaware since according to Lahey this information would ruin too many lives.
    • He ends up revealing it to Ricky midway through Season 11, and they actually hit it off pretty well after the initial shock wears off. However, a blood test arranged by Julian reveals that he actually can't possibly be Ricky's father, nor could Ray. The devastation this deals to Lahey is incredibly tragic, and sets the stage for one of his darkest psychological collapses in the series.
  • Master Actor: In one season Jim actually goes completely sober and successfully tricks the boys into thinking he's as off the wagon as he's always been. Of course Status Quo Is God kicked in not long after...
  • Pet the Dog: Every once in awhile there would be an episode where he and the boys would form a truce or he'd have a genuinely sweet moment with Randy.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Played With but ultimately subverted. Lahey thinks he's a straight example of this trope, and at first it seems that way too. The boys are criminals who do cause problems in the park, and Lahey has genuine grievances against them too. That being said, Lahey is still a bitter, vindictive alcoholic who often lets his obsession with revenge go too far. Case in point: towards the end of season 5, Lahey orchestrates a shootout between the boys and Cyrus, endangering the other citizens of the park, and almost killing Ricky in the process.
  • Retcon: In season 10 his hatred of Ricky is said to be due to his secretly being Ricky's biological father. This was clearly not the case in previous seasons. This ends up being subverted once it's revealed via blood test that he's not Ricky's father after all...and neither is Ray.
  • Sanity Slippage: His mental health declines sharply in Season 4, to the point where he tries to murder Ricky. He gets better afterwards.
  • Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Likes to go into this when he's talking down to Ricky.
  • Took a Level in Kindness:
    • He's quite a bit nicer, more patient, and less vindictive after being reinstated as cop. Bubbles also mentions that he used to be nice before the incident that got him fired from the police force the first time.
    • From season 8 onward he he's less antagonistic to the Boys, especially Jullian, although he still has no issue screwing them over when it suits him.
  • Verbal Tic: Has coined several dozens of new words containing "shit". Shithawks, shitpuppets, shitapple, Captain Shitactular, shitclock, shitwaves...

     Randy 

Randy

Portrayed by: Patrick Roach

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8f11eea6df7c0856d36dd9458b06b7d8.png

"Frig off, Barb!"
Lahey's assistant and lover.

  • Blood Knight: He may not be the toughest but is he is all to happy to fight anybody to keep the park safe.
  • The Dragon: For Mr. Lahey, and often quite an effective one.
  • Fat Bastard: And because he's such a bastard, J-Roc and Bubbles respond by never letting him forget the first part.
  • Flung Clothing: Randy always goes around without a shirt, but when he really gets mad he'll take off his pants, too. When that happens whoever he's angry at is in for a world of hurt.
    • Subverted in season 10 when he drops trow to fight Barb's enforcer Candy, who proceeds to beat him handily.
    • The reason he takes his pants off is because they are too tight to fight in. When he rips his pants and gets a new, more comfortable pair, he doesn't take them off anymore. Although in Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys and Countdown to Liquor Day he is back in his old pants without an explanation.
      Bubbles: When he has his pants on, he can only get his legs so far apart, and he doesn't have that much balance, but when he's in his underwear, y'know, he can get like a football player, and he's hard to knock over, that... big coagulated gravy hot dog bun bastard.
  • Gosh Dang It to Heck!: "Frig off, Ricky!!"
    • That said, he slowly becomes more sweary over the course of the series. Especially once he gets into pot.
  • I Can Change My Beloved: Randy tries several things to deal with Jim's drinking. When he's on the wagon, he actively encourages his sobriety; when he starts sliding, he warns him where it's going to lead; once when went completely into the liquor, he attempted to drink with him to understand him. It never works, and by the end of Countdown to Liquor Day, he's finally had enough.
    • Though it should be noted that throughout any attempts to help Jim, he never attempts to tone down his own pot smoking despite Lahey's admonishments, in fact it increases.
    • He also attempted(successfully) to get Mr Lahey back on the liquor in season 9 to ruin his relationship with Barb and win him back.
  • Kavorka Man: Despite the huge gut and weasel-y personality, he's either with Lahey or with Lucy. Or he's getting some coin on the side as a male prostitute.
    • Sarah also calls him attractive in season 6,and Thomas Collins refers to him as "athletic" in season 7, despite being very visibly overweight.
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: When he's on the dope (which is pretty much constantly in Season 7), he basically starts channelling The Tourettes Guy, swearing often and loudly whenever something bad happens to him.
    "Dirty balls!"
    "Frozen mixed vegetable cocks!"
    "Alfred Hitch-cocks!"
  • Power Limiter: His tight pants. When he takes them off, things get serious.
  • They Call Me MISTER Tibbs!: Always refers to Jim Lahey as "Mr. Lahey," despite having been in an intimate relationship with him for years, to the point that on one occasion when the two are fighting, Randy bitterly calls him "James".
    • The Christmas Special that takes place before the series has Barb finding Randy prostituting himself in front of a burger joint and taking him home out of pity. When she introduces him to Jim (who she is still married to at the time), Randy recognizes him as "Simon" (obviously a fake name that Jim used to hire Randy). When Barb leaves, Jim tries to keep Randy from exposing his secret by telling him to never call him "Simon" again, only "Mr. Lahey".
  • Toilet Seat Divorce: In season 8, Randy breaks up with Lahey after Lahey cooked his bacon for Julian.
    Tyrone: “Tell me you and Lahey didn’t just break up over bacon?
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Cheeseburgers. Whenever Randy is gonna unwind, you can bet he's gonna put a ton of cheeseburgers on.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: And he is not happy whenever he's forced to wear one for whatever reason. Season 9 finally shows why: wearing anything on his upper body for long enough makes him break out in a horrible rash.

     Barb 

Barb Lahey

Portrayed by: Shelley Thompson

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6289def9c72d239f10e3653a36d29ba0.png

Jim's ex-wife and owner of the park.

  • Alpha Bitch: In season 10.
  • Ascended Extra: Becomes more involved in the plot starting in season 2.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: For nearly 9 seasons Barb was this until she shed the nice girl act in season 10.
  • Face–Heel Revolving Door: By the end of Season 10, Barb's moral compass has shifted so many times, Sarah no longer buys Barb's default Stepford Smiler act.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Acts pleasant while ruining Jim's life in Season 10.
  • Lady Macbeth: Even after Jim pulls a semi-Heel–Face Turn in season 7, she's incredibly unpleasant towards him and actually encourages him to fall off the wagon.
  • Manipulative Bitch: She keeps possession of the park by tricking Cory and Trevor into thinking they were buying the park with the Boys' drug money, when in fact she used the money to pay off Sunnyvale's debts and keep the park for herself.
  • Pretty Fly for a White Guy: Wears corn rolls in her hair after coming back from jail the leader of a band of thugs as part of her Evil Costume Change.
  • Status Quo Is God: No matter what happens, Barb always seems to land on her feet as Trailer Park Owner, often undoing weeks if not years of storyline advancement where the boys are concerned.
  • Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: The bank forecloses on her house when Sunnyvale gets deep in debt. She moves into the park and takes Lahey and Randy's supervisor trailer for herself.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: How Barb comes back from jail in Season 10.

     Treena 

Treena Lahey

Portrayed by: Elliot Page

Jim and Barb's daughter who stays at Sunnyvale in season 2. Despite being Lahey's daughter she becomes fast friends with Ricky and the boys.

  • Freudian Excuse: Her attachment to Ricky isn't that strange when you think about it, her father is an alcoholic who spends most of his time with Randy or supervising the park, her mother is kind of a bitch and is carrying on her own relationship with Jerkass Sam, while Ricky was never anything but nice to her, fixing her bike and spending time with her when no one else would.
  • Hero Worship: For Ricky after he helps her fix her bike.
  • The Mole: In "Never trust a man with no shirt on" she eavesdrops on her fathers call to the police and tells the boys.
  • Morality Pet: For Ricky in season 2 due to Trinity being absent.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: For Trinity, who doesn't appear on season 2, right down to the similar names.
  • Teen Rebel: Spends most of her time hanging around with her fathers arch nemesis. Randy lampshades this in one episode that she's at the age where kids need to rebel. Mr Lahey responds that he once said the same thing about Ricky and Julian.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: She's never seen after the season 2 finale with only a passing mention on season 4. Probably due to her actor gaining success but it's strange both her parents live in Sunnyvale and she doesn't.
    • Season 11 reveals she won't talk to Jim anymore due to his drinking.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: A minor example but Julian briefly reads her the riot act when she stows away in his car while he goes to sell a large amount of hash.
    Julian: What are you doing here?! This is no place for a young lady, Treena!

LeFleur and Collins Families

     Lucy 

Lucy

Portrayed by: Lucy DeCoutere

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b7f850dd2453570fa2bcf4b45c03ebbe.png

Ricky's on-off girlfriend throughout Seasons 1 to 10.

  • Abhorrent Admirer: To Julian in season 1 and the Christmas Special, which is implied to be due to him being Trinity's real father. She gives up on him when she finds out he has a girlfriend and accepts Ricky's proposal.
  • Alpha Bitch: Was hinted to be this in high school.
  • Dodgy Toupee: An extremely-rare female variant; Lucy's hair for most of season 1 is an obvious wig, though nobody brings it up.
  • Dumb Blonde, though she's still capable of calling out Ricky during his more stupid moments.
  • Hypocrite: Has broken up with Ricky over the idea of banging other women while Lucy herself has a long list of guys she's banged...
  • Put on a Bus: Season 11 reveals she left Sunnyvale to work as a nanny for Tom Arnold after Ricky's trailer burned down. This was due to Lucy DeCoutere leaving the series after fellow actor Mike Smith was arrested on suspected domestic assault charges (although he was later cleared).
  • Really Gets Around: Not only has she slept with Ricky, she's also shacked up with Randy and Officer George Green, and hit on Julian and at least one member of the season 8 film crew.
    • Season 10 reveals she also hooked up with Ricky's dad, Ray.
  • Silver Vixen: Even after becoming grandparents, Ricky and Lucy still lust over each other.

     Trinity 

Trinity

Portrayed by: Jeanna Harrison

Ricky and Lucy's daughter, although it is implied she may actually be Julian's.


  • Cute Bruiser: Her dad lets her hit Cory and Trevor for an entire scene in season three, and she later joins the "Bottle Kids", a group of kids who throw empty liquor bottles at people in the park.
  • Daddy's Girl: Ricky may be a rebellious idiot, but Trinity is constantly loyal to him. She only really strays from him when she absolutely has to.
  • Delinquents: Becomes a bottle kid in later seasons.
  • Former Teen Rebel: In the later seasons, particularly after marrying Jacob and having their son, Moe. Trinity went from a bottle kid to a rational and caring mom/daughter.
  • Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe: As mentioned below, while not official its very subtly implied over the course of the series that Trinity is really Julian's biological daughter. This is most telling in Season 8 when Trinity goes to Julian first to tell him of her Teen Pregnancy and how the film crew noticeably zooms in on Trinity's expression of trying not to roll her eyes when Julian happily says he's going to be a Grand-Uncle.
  • Meaningful Name: She was born of a Love Triangle, with her true paternity being questionable.
  • Morality Pet: To Ricky and by extension, Julian.
  • Only Sane Man: Of her family. Trinity is much more grounded and rational than her dad, mom and husband.
  • Teen Pregnancy: In season 8, on the way to becoming an Official Couple with Jacob. It's a boy!
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Her accidentally shooting Ricky in season one is what started Sam's grudge with the boys after the cops found out he operated on Ricky without a human medical license.
  • Wise Beyond Their Years: By Sunnyvale standards anyways, she's often said to be a lot smarter then both Ricky and Lucy.
    • It's implied in season one that Julian may be her real father, which would explain this as he's much smarter than Ricky and Lucy.

     Ray 

Ray LeFleur

Portrayed by: Barrie Dunn

Ricky's father, who faked a disability for the insurance money for the first few seasons.

  • Cloudcuckoolander: In the first few seasons, then oddly becomes more coherent thanks to some Character Development.
  • Hypocrite: He's constantly preaching the Bible, but meanwhile he has no problem stealing from friends and family, gambling away his friends money, sleeping with hookers or ripping off the government with his fake disability, all of which are very non Christian.
  • Kavorka Man: He apparently hooked up with the much younger Lucy at some point.
  • Nice Guy: Ray is easily one of the most mellow residents of the park. He’s always supportive of Ricky and even forgives him after Ricky accidentally burns down his trailer.
  • Obfuscating Disability: Faked being in a wheelchair for most of his time on the series to collect disability money. Eventually takes this all the way in Don't Legalize It, when he fakes the ultimate disability.
  • Papa Wolf: To Ricky as well as Julian and Bubbles. In season five he suspects Lahey intends to ruin the fun day the boys have planned to cheer up Bubbles, so he immediately blows the whistle on Lahey's alcoholism relapse which he was hiding from Randy.
  • Put on a Bus: Not present from season eight onwards due to his actor being a member of the old production company. Don't Legalize It shows he faked his death and moved to see Florida dump but whether this is canon or not is debatable, the only thing that's for sure is that he no longer lives in or near Sunnyvale. He is occasionally mentioned though.
  • Real Men Love Jesus: Is a Calvinist Christian and tries to get Ricky to read the Bible with him. It should be noted, however, that Ray uses his Christianity to justify his misdeeds — if everything is predetermined, nothing he does is his fault.

     Jacob 

Jacob Collins

Portrayed by: Jacob Rolfe

A store clerk who gets robbed by Ricky all the time, later becomes a bigger character.

  • Ascended Extra: In Season 7, he goes from "that kid who works various jobs around town" to a vital part of the cast.
  • Bumbling Dad: For his and Trinity's son, The Motel. Case in point, he was named as such because he mixed up the spaces on the birth certificate.
  • Butt-Monkey: Even before he buddied up with Cory, he was this.
  • Cloud Cuckoolanders Minder: Is this to a degree for Cory, season 8 and onward. As he's the more intelligent of the two (not that that's saying much), he at first questions why Cory is allowed to be in charge of him, then takes a liking to him and works as Those Two Guys with him as the brains to Cory's muscles.
  • Flanderization: Jacob was always a bit awkward but usually displayed more competence than Cory and Trevor; having at least attempted community college and actually pulling off the grueling train-track-laying in Season 7. By Season 8 (where he joins Cory doing work for the Boys) he's considerably more stupid and airheaded, and even starts looking like Trevor (shaggy hair, tight shirts and a perpetually nervous expression). This may be deliberate, as if to imply working for the Boys long enough will turn someone into a loser. Bubbles even calls him an alien in season 11, just like he called Trevor in season 4.
  • George Jetson Job Security: Ricky keeps getting him fired by robbing or stealing from the places Jacob works at. Ricky also got him and Cyrus kicked out of Grade 10 by exposing their cheating on final exams.
    • In Don't Legalize It, Julian gets him dishonorably discharged from the army when he gets caught stealing urine for Julian to sell to people having to take drug tests.
  • Good Parents: When he's not helping the Boys with their crimes, he's working multiple jobs to help pay his family's living expenses.
  • Mook: Beginning in season 7.
  • New Job as the Plot Demands: For the first 6 seasons, Jacob's main role in the story is to be an Extreme Doormat who Ricky keeps getting fired after robbing him across various jobs.
  • Soul-Sucking Retail Job/Burger Fool: Is often shown to be working minimum wage jobs and is subject to abuse (and often robbery) from Ricky.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: He eventually becomes one for Trevor, becoming True Companions with Cory and acting as one of Ricky and Julian's gofers.
  • Sycophantic Servant: To Julian, to the point of dressing and acting like him in Season 7 (he even carries around a little glass everywhere).
  • Those Two Guys: With a returning Cory in season 8.
  • "Well Done, Son" Guy: In the later seasons after he falls for Trinity, he becomes this towards Ricky. As a Mook, though, that puts him in an unenviable position.

     Phil 

Phil (Philadelphia) Collins

Portrayed by: Richard Collins

Jacob's father and the owner of The Dirty Burger.

  • Ascended Extra: Initially appeared as a cab driver, then showed up doing other random odd jobs.
  • Berserk Button:
    • For god's sakes, do NOT stare awkwardly at his oversized gut.
    • He also doesn't take kindly to being called a mustard tiger. Even when wearing a tiger shirt that's covered in mustard.
  • Big Eater: Fairly obvious from his build, but his love of burgers rivals Randy's and in Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys he eats nine baloney sandwiches and comes back for more.
  • Fat Idiot: Not very bright.
  • Gasshole: A Running Gag is that he burps whenever he gets hit in the gut.
  • Knight Templar Parent: Gets increasingly hostile towards Julian and the boys due to Jacobs tendency to get himself in trouble with the law when he does jobs for them.
  • Made of Iron: When the Bottle Kids attack him, Lahey and Randy, he pretty much shrugs off over a hundred dollars worth of bottles without flinching.
  • Papa Wolf: He WILL go after your if you endanger his sons. In season seven when Jacob disappears while doing a job for Ricky and Julian he goes so far as to pick a fight with the boys and damage the shitmobile with a ladder despite his advanced age and poor health.
  • The Pig-Pen: Practically radiates food particles.
  • Real Life Writes the Plot: His absence after Don't Legalize It is due to his actor having passed away.

     Thomas 

Thomas Collins

Portrayed by: Mike O'Neill

Phil Collins other son and Jacob's older brother.

  • Berserk Button: Don't insult or endanger his family. Also don't ask him to say BAM.
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: Is strong enough to wrestle with Ricky despite being noticeable smaller. Although to be fair he did blindside him.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: He appears in a couple of episodes in season 7 then promptly vanishes without ever being mentioned again.

Park Residents

     Sarah 

Sarah

Portrayed by: Sarah E. Dunsworth

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fe6c28d611eca4ca14a61b52217c1f98.png

Lucy's best friend. Briefly dated Ricky, later became openly opposed to Ricky and Julian constantly getting into trouble.

  • Deadpan Snarker: Often delivers snide remarks towards Ricky and Julian.
  • Fiery Redhead: Is often the first to point out how stupid Ricky and Julian have been behaving, and is not gentle about it.
  • Hypocrite: Hooks up with Ricky in season two despite her trashing him in all other seasons.
    • Always gives Ricky shit for taking advantage of Cory and Trevor and using them to do menial tasks, while she herself was using them as domestic servants.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Cory and Trevor's betrayal at the end of Season 4 going into 5 was orchestrated by her, taking a cut of The Boy's money for herself and letting them do whatever with the rest while setting up a Peace Treaty with the Cops to have Ricky arrested if he comes anywhere near the two, fully expecting Ricky to take his vengance out on them.
  • Pet the Dog: In season 5 she acknowledged that Ricky lying about going to vocational school while working there as a janitor to impress Lucy and Trinity is kind of sweet.
    • She's the first chracter on the show to actually question the treatment of Corey and Trevor at the hands of the Boys, or show an ounce of kindness to them in general. This leads to her calling a Peace Treaty set up to protect Corey and Trevor from Ricky after they blow the Trailer Park deal and it's implied she's the one who sent them to the Mental Asylum in Season 7 after Ricky works them to the brink of insanity inbetween seasons.
  • Really Gets Around: Not as much as Lucy but still has an impressive tally. She's dated Ricky (season 2), Cory and Trevor (season 4), Jacob (season 7, Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys), J-Roc (Don't Legalize It), and finally Barb and Donna (season 9). The movie also states she banged both Ricky and Lucy before the two met each other.
  • Retcon: In season 4 she's banging Cory and Trevor and announces her plan to marry them both(somehow) at the end of the season. In the second episode of season 5 she "sets the record straight" that she's not banging them or planning to marry them. The relationship was probably deemed too odd to continue.
    • Her feelings for Ricky seem to completly evaporate in Season 3 when Lucy and Trinity return to the show.
  • Team Mom
  • Those Two Girls: With Lucy in season 1 and seasons 3-7.
  • Only Sane Woman: Her interactions with the Boys usually consist of her calling out their stupidity, recklessness or carelessness.

     J-Roc 

J-Roc

Portrayed by: Jonathan Torrens

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cd934e0003607ccd3204ce615dc52de3.jpg

"Know'm sayin?"
A white rapper who lives with his mom, know'm sayin'?

  • Berserk Button: Calling him by his real name, Jamie. Only his mother can call him that.
  • Character Catchphrase: "Know'm sayin'?" as part of his Pretty Fly for a White Guy act.
  • Dirty Coward: Talks a big game but frequently backs down when challenged, refusing to fight Randy when he evicts him in season six, and taking no action when an angry Ricky steals all his music equipment (and his dryer for the hell of it) despite boasting how he was willing to "step to him" five minutes before hand.
  • Does Not Like Guns: See, this is how it goes down. J to the R-O-C and the Rockpile are down with being rap musicians, actin' as fences for stolen shit, makin' amateur pornographic art with some fine ladies and stealin' groceries to resell in the park, but they ain't down with usin' guns, nowahteyemzane?
  • Do Not Call Me "Paul": Doesn't like being called by his real name, Jamie.
  • Disappeared Dad: In one episode, his mother implies that his father may in fact have been one of the black men she was dating when she became pregnant with him.
  • Fauxreigner: In Season 10 he dates a girl he picked up in Mexico, who thinks he's Spanish, so he talks in a thick Spanish accent whenever she's around.
  • Heroic BSoD: Had one during his concert when he is confronted by one of the rappers who's music he pirated and called a 'punk'.
  • Jive Turkey: J-Roc is the whitest of white rappers and even his close friends know it.
  • Motor Mouth: Even when compared to the other motor mouths on this show (such as Ricky), J-Roc stands out.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: No matter how deep the boys get into serious shit, J-Roc is usually there to lighten the mood by being a huge dweeb.
  • Pretty Fly for a White Guy: Although the episode "The Microphone Assassin" implies that he may actually be biracial. His mother tells him that she was dating a lot of black guys when she became pregnant with him, although she could have just been saying that to cheer him up. (Plus, it would be extremely unlikely that he would look like this if he were)
    • Meanwhile, as Jamie, he acts incredibly white.
  • Put on a Bus: In season 11.
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: A one-sided version with Randy, taking constant shots at Randy's weight any time the two share a scene.
    "Oh, hang on. [leans down and puts ear against Randy's gut] Can I get fifteen half-eaten cheeseburgers to go, you know'm sayin!?"
  • Stylistic Suck: His porn projects.
  • A Tankard of Moose Urine: Roc Vodka, a mix of cheap vodka, grain alcohol, and some sort of artificial fruit flavoring (comes in Booberry, Pizzomegranate, Apple Cizzinnamon, and Ban-Orange, know'm sayin'?) funneled into mason jars that the Roc Pile takes to selling in Season 8.
  • This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!: By Season 9, he does this a lot.
  • Verbal Tic: He often makes DJ-style record scratching and rewinding noises with his mouth when speaking. He even does it in his music instead of actual record scratching and rewinding. As of season 10, he attaches a loud "huh" to the ends of many sentences.
  • White Gangbangers: A very softcore example, mostly all in his head. As a further twist, Sara and Lucy explain that he genuinely thinks he's black, and he even his mother thinks that he might actually be biracial.

     Tyrone 

Tyrone

Portrayed by: Tyrone Parsons

J-Roc's long time friend and business partner. Also known as T.

  • Does Not Like Guns: He shares J-Roc's dislike of guns and will make a hasty exit if they become involved.
  • Happy-Ending Massage: In season 9, he makes bundles of money giving these to old ladies, many of whom request him specifically. He hates it at first, but by the end of the season, he's dating one of them.
  • Only Sane Man: Of J-Roc's crew
  • True Companions: No matter how much of a dweeb J-Roc is, Tyrone has nothing but love for his comrade.
  • The Whitest Black Guy: In the Christmas special set in the past, we see him and J-Roc before they both got into rap music, and he acts about as white as Jamie does. His real name isn't even Tyrone, it's Tyler. He only started going by Tyrone after adopting his rapper persona.

     Cory and Trevor 

Cory and Trevor

Portrayed by: Cory Bowles (Cory) and Michael Jackson (Trevor)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/74dae96fe13575f74d668e0a74bdbdf0.png

A dimwitted duo who are constantly seeking the approval of Ricky and Julian, who inevitably use them as fall-guys.Tropes associated with the pair:

  • Ambiguously Gay: Trevor during season 6's Where in the F*ck is Oscar Goldman? Trevor seems to have his mind focused on male genitalia throughout the episode. Such as when he suggested sucking snake venom out of Ricky's penis, as well as crying whenever he's separated from Cory for even the shortest amount of time. Same with Cory, given that he can't seem to function without Trevor (or later Jacob Collins) around.
  • Butt-Monkey: Their raison d'etre.
  • The Ditz: Enough to make Ricky look like The Chessmaster in comparison
  • The Millstone: Their lack of experience and sheer stupidity causes them to screw things up quite a bit.
  • Mooks: And not even particularly good ones, either.
  • Put on a Bus: For season 7. Cory returns in season 8, and settles back into being Those Two Guys, with Jacob Collins instead.
  • Raging Stiffie: They really couldn't handle themselves during a night out at the Slick Pimp.
    Donny: JESUS CHRIST, BOYS, EASE OFF WITH THE FUCKIN' ERECTIONS!
  • The Scapegoat: If Ricky and Julian ever get into hot water, expect them to pawn the blame off on these two.
  • The Starscream: They both screw over Ricky and the boys at the end of Season 4 and become co-trailer supervisors, or so they think as it turned out Barb was pulling their strings all along to buy back the park. The fact they screwed the boys over however remains a plot point through Season 5.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: In his Insane Troll Logic, Ricky sees himself as as best friend to Cory and Trevor and seems taken aback when people ask why he's so mean to them, implying he may see his genuine cruelty to the boys as this trope.
Tropes associated with Cory specifically:
  • The Danza
  • Dreadful Musician: When J-Roc has a Heroic BSoD in "Who's The Microphone Assassin" just before a big performance, Cory and Trevor attempt to pump the crowd up by rapping themselves, and fail miserably. Cory specifically seems to think of himself as a rapper on the same level as J-Roc and his crew.
  • Ditzy Genius: On very, very rare occasions. In season 8, Cory snaps the valve off of Bubbles' hash oil rig, so he and Jacob use a container with a some maple syrup in it, leading to the best tasting oil Ricky has ever had. He later helps Ricky build a "canapult" that he'd learned about in history class on the Shitmobile to hurl piss jugs into the park. In season 11, Cory uses his toothpick to pick a lock filled with wood, which he says acts as a "wood magnet". It works.
  • If I Do Not Return: Cries out to the boys to tell his mom he loves her when he's shot by Lahey, mere seconds before they find out his hand was barely grazed by the bullet.
  • Sycophantic Servant and The Renfield: Cory is much more willing to throw his weight behind the boys without question, whereas Trevor will occasionally question their authority and Jacob is more apprehensive. Cory getting arrested while acting as Ricky's double is one of his highlights. He will occasionally object to his treatment, such as calling the boys fucked when they push him and Trevor into (supposedly) leech infested water.
  • Those Two Guys: With Trevor, to the point where the two barely function without one another. Later settles back into this with Jacob, which works slightly better for him in the long run as Jacob is both respected more by Ricky and has some semblance of common sense.
  • Totally Radical: Cory speaks with a mix of this and stoner talk.

     Mitch 

Mitch

Portrayed by: Rasheed Montgomery

J-Roc's estranged son in Season 9.

     Marguerite 

Marguerite Murphy

Portrayed by: Marguerite McNeil

An elderly lady who becomes a Sunnyvale resident from Season 9 onwards.

  • Ascended Extra: She appears in a brief scene in season 8 (hitting Ricky with a "leaf comber") and as the"crinkly old candle witch" in Live At The North Pole before being brought on as a recurring character in season 9.
  • Ass Shove: For her final appearance during Jail, Ricky tries to get her to smuggle drugs into prison using a hollow dildo, but refuses given the sheer size of the implement in question.
  • Cool Old Lady: She drinks and rolls 'mean fucking joints', once she is allowed.
  • Evil Old Folks: On the other hand, she is extremely abusive toward Cory and Bubbles, and at one point tries to stab Cory in the groin with a pair of nail clippers and refuses to pay lot fees.
  • Honey Trap: Lays one for Cory to get out of paying lot fees.
  • The Load: Does little in Season 9 but complain very vocally and colorfully about everything. This goes away starting Season 10 when she contributes to the park a little more.
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: Even by Sunnyvale standards she has a filthy mouth.

     Bottle Kids 

Bottle Kids

A roving band of children who throw bottles at people. Trinity is briefly a member.

  • Delinquents: Comprised entirely of children.
  • Drop-In Character: Randomly show up with little to no warning (beyond someone yelling "bottle kids!" at the last second), throw their bottles and leave.
  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin: They're kids, and they throw bottles.
  • For the Evulz: As far as anyone can tell, though Ricky once paid them with chips them to hit Lahey (or rather, paid them not to attack him, and to hit Lahey instead), and another time Julian hired them to hit Lahey to make him bleed in order to collect blood for a paternity test.
  • Grievous Bottley Harm: Their modus operandi, in the form of throwing them rather than using as a club.
  • Harmless Villain: They throw bottles, and that's it. Everyone just treats them as a fact of life and ducks when they attack, then carries on afterwards.
  • Legacy Character: Heavily implied to be a longstanding fixture of the park, as Ricky alludes to having been one of them during his own childhood.
  • Peek-a-Bogeyman: Not connected to any side, they just show up randomly and throw bottles, then run off.
  • Riddle for the Ages: Who are they, and why do they throw bottles at people?
  • Say My Name: Whenever they show up, someone yells "Bottle kids!"

Police and Correctional Officers

     George Green 

Officer George Green

Portrayed by: George Green

A dimwitted police officer who is repeatedly foiled by the boys.

  • Beware the Silly Ones: George misses the dope crop the boys are sending to Moncton, but he arrests Bubbles for driving a big rig truck without a licence (saying that Bubbles' fake licence is the worst one he's ever seen) and also arrests Ricky and Julian for violating their probation.
  • Crying Wolf: Lampshades and accuses Lahey of doing this.
  • Da Chief: Eventualy becomes chief of the Sunnyvale police department, complete with an abrasive coffee mug tossing attitude, and having ascended several levels in jerkass.
  • Fallen-on-Hard-Times Job: Spends some time as a mall security guard after he and Ted are released from prison.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: In season 9, George finally buries the hatchet with Ricky when he realizes Lucy will never be his.
  • Jerkass: Becomes this in later seasons. Starts off as a fair(if dumb) cop, but season 7 has him commit assault(and attempted murder, but that wasn't planned) over a trivial matter, season 8 has him setup Lahey to be arrested along with the boys, season 9 starts with him drunkenly sucker punching Ricky, then spend the season trying to steal Ricky's family(he comes off as doing this to hurt Ricky instead of genuinely wanting Lucy back or caring about Trin and Moe's best intrests) and his single appearance in season 10 has him mocking Ricky being in a coma.
  • Lack of Empathy: In the season 10 finale he crashes Trin and Jacob's wedding and cruelly mocks Ricky being in a coma.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Gets double crossed by another officer in Ted Johnson, convicted and imprisoned much like what he did to Lahey in an earlier season.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain:
    • Season 4 ended with him not only arresting Ricky and Julian for parole violations, but also arresting Bubbles for driving a big rig truck with a fake license. This was especially unusual since Bubbles typically managed to escape the cops' attention in the earlier seasons.
    • The season 8 finale and The Reveal - he was playing Lahey as a patsy the whole season, and gets him thrown in jail with the boys.
    • In season 7 he's willing to commit MURDER after assaulting Lahey, Randy and Phil. He's even the one who plans it and convinces Ted to go along.
  • Police Are Useless: Really not the most effective cop on the force, and easily manipulated. Until the season 8 finale, of course.
  • Police Brutality: To Lahey, Randy and Phil in Season 7.

     Ted Johnson 

Officer Ted Johnson

Portrayed by: Jim Swansburg

A cop who often visits Sunnyvale and causes problems for the boys. First appears in season 1 then returns as a recurring character in season 5.

  • Deadpan Snarker: More condescending than snarky but it counts.
  • Depraved Homosexual: Extorting sexual favors on the regular is part of his schtick.
  • I Can Change My Beloved: Tries to get Randy to start wearing shirt and lose weight during their brief relationship. Sarah attributes their breakup to this.
  • Jerkass: Abuses his power, tries to change Randy, and finally becomes an outright criminal.
  • Living Lie Detector: "You wouldn't be lying to me" is his introductory catchphrase. Ricky, who is normally great at tricking cops is understandably rattled after his first encounter with Ted.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: Starts out as a bit of a jerk, but season 7 has him assault a fellow officer and even be willing to commit murder.
  • Police Brutality: Along with George he assaults Lahey, Randy and Phil Collins in season 7.
  • Rape as Comedy: In season 10 he extorts sexual favours from Randy in exchange for leaving Sunnyvale alone. It's played for laughs and no one even seems to consider rape.
  • Wham Line: "I'm not George Green, Rick."

     Gorilla Fingers 

Gorilla Fingers

Portrayed by: Lockie McDermott

A prison former prison guard turned power company employee. Later apparently gets rehired as a guard as he serves as a main character in the Jail season.

Criminals and Antagonists

     Cyrus 

Cyrus

Portrayed by: Bernard Robichaud

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/10acd658ea5a2b82170c40c078781c4f.png

A greaser tough-guy wannabe who shows up every now and then to cause trouble.

  • Character Catchphrase: He says "Fuck off, I got work to do" any time he thinks he managed to intimidate someone.
  • Dirty Coward: Makes a big show of waving his gun around but when challenged he either runs away or gets someone else to fight for him.
  • Evil Counterpart: To Ricky and Julian. Like Ricky, he represents an anachronistic character archetype, likes the same things the boys do, is just as rude or abrasive but with none of the redeeming, likeable qualities. However that being said, most of his vile qualities are a smokescreen as been proved by Julian in the first episode, Cyrus is too afraid to use a gun and take a life which suggests deep down he might have a subconscious sense of morality.
  • Greaser Delinquents: Tries very hard to project this image, despite it being decades out of date.
  • Hated by All: The first episode and every appearance afterward, he's always greeted with scowls.
  • Hell-Bent for Leather: Rarely seen without a leather jacket.
  • Jerkass: Cyrus over nine seasons shows little to no redeeming qualities.
  • Leitmotif: His car is always blasting the song "I'm Old (You're Young)" whenever he arrives on the scene in it.
  • Perpetual Frowner: One of those guys who never seems to be in a good mood.
  • Trigger-Happy: Especially come season 8, when he's shooting people in the leg just for pissing him off.
  • Took a Level in Badass:
    • Don't Legalize It opens with Cyrus running a legitimate cocaine-dealing operation out of his trailer with Sam Losco as his lackey. Here he's far more caustic, confident and pragmatic in his dealings with other characters compared with the blustering wannabe-tough-guy arrogance of past seasons. Bought to a head at the end of the movie when he holds Julian up for both the urine and Julian's share of the urine money, marking it the first time in the series Cyrus wins a criminal engagement and doesn't get humiliated or arrested.
    • Season 8 also has him selling cocaine and actually shooting people. In fact he serves as the Big Bad of the season, with previous villain Sam Demoted to Dragon and even Arch-Enemy Mr Lahey fears him.

     Sam Losco 

Sam Losco

Portrayed by: Sam Tarasco

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dccfb2d009091f6e3c722ddaf6ae2043.png

A greasy veterinarian who often takes part of shady dealings in and outside the park.

  • Affably Evil: More greasy than evil.
  • Back-Alley Doctor: He's only legally allowed to treat animals, but he patches Ricky's gunshot wounds in his debut episode. Ricky unwittingly makes Sam lose his veterinary licence when he's arrested at the end of Season 1 and the prison doctors ask him who did such a bad job treating his gunshot wounds. In a later season, he extracts Bubbles' infected tooth after the boys couldn't get a dentist or other doctor to do it. Fortunately, this actually worked and Bubbles was soon back to normal.
  • Berserk Button: Being called a caveman. And yet in season 9, he becomes exactly that.
  • Better the Devil You Know: He's the devil you don't know, so much so that when Sam comes into the picture as an antagonist, he usually forces an Enemy Mine between Lahey and the boys.
    • Oddly enough, he's also Enemy Mined with the boys against Lahey and Randy.
  • Contemporary Caveman: Inverted. In season 9, he's been screwed over so much that he's reduced to living in a cave in the middle of the woods. Before discovering him, Bubbles and Ricky are convinced he's "the Samsquanch."
  • Curbstomp Battle: While serving as The Dragon to Cyrus in season 8,he attempts to fight Julian. He gets knocked out within five seconds.
  • The Dragon: To Cyrus in Don't Legalize it, as well as season eight.
  • Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: In Season 10 Sam cleans up his act and tries to be nicer after the death of his mother.
  • Evil Counterpart: Could be considered one to Randy, the most obvious parallel is their love for barbecuing their respective Trademark Favorite Food to the point of mockery from other park residents. Sam and Randy are both bisexual and have both slept or been in relationships with (and cheated on) Barb Lahey. Oh and lets not forget frequent partial nudity from both. Where they differ is their devotion to the park and it's residents. At no time has this been more evident than the election in Season 2, where Sam wants to power grab and be TPS for himself, Randy instead wants to serve Lahey loyalty as he's always done.
  • Hidden Depths: He is a veterinarian after all and nothing suggests he isn't a competent one.
  • Kick the Dog: Tells Bubbles his cats appear to have rabies and will have to be put down, when really they were just sick from eating Sam's discarded hot dogs and he seemingly just lied to Bubbles to be cruel.
  • The Medic: As a veterinarian, he's often the guy the boys go to when they need a wound healed "off the grid", despite his antagonist status.
  • New Job as the Plot Demands: In season four he has his vet practice back, but when he reappears in season six he's working for a paving company.
  • Nobody Poops: harshly adverted in Season 9 when Rocky and Bubbles find what they think is Samsquanch droppings.
  • The Pig-Pen: Smells horrible and gets grease on everything.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: In Season 10 he is much nicer than before. His mother's last request before she died was for him to stop being an asshole (her words). He even chooses not to retaliate after being put through a ridiculous series of Amusing Injuries by the boys, even though he admits he'd love nothing more than to kill the lot of them. It seems his heel face turn is genuine as the only thing he values is his mother's teeth which he keeps as a memento in a safe; and he drops his nice attitude when they go missing and finds out who took them.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: He loves hot dogs.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: Almost takes over the park in Season 2 because of this.

     Terry and Dennis 

Terry and Dennis

Portrayed by: Nobu Adilman (Terry) and Mio Adilman (Dennis)

A pair of Japanese-Canadian brothers who are childhood friends of Ricky. They live with their grandmother and sell hash out of her house. They work with Cyrus in season 5 as well as Don't Legalize It.

  • Asshole Victim: Terry more so than Dennis. Julian robs their hash and car, but this is after Terry was rude and abrupt with the boys in the previous episode.
  • Co-Dragons: To Cyrus in season 5 and Don't Legalize It. Part of what ends their friendship with Ricky.
  • Gratuitous Japanese: They speak Japanese when they don't want others to know what they're saying.
  • Jerkass: Terry is much less friendly than his brother.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: It probably wasn't a great idea for the boys to pull up to their house in a limo when they're there to buy drugs.
  • Male Frontal Nudity: Tend to walk around their house in open bathrobes with their packages hanging out. Bubbles dubs them "the flappy bird brothers".
  • The Quiet One: They barely say a word in season 12.
  • Too Dumb to Live: One of them immediately identifies a package as their hash in front of the cops.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: While Cyrus returns in season 8 he works with Sam and then with Tommy in season 9 but Terry and Dennis never appear or are even mentioned.
    • They do return very briefly as Tommy Bean's lackeys in season 12.

     Leslie Dancer 

Ex-Colonel Leslie Dancer

Portrayed by: Daniel Lillford

A retired SAS officer who first appears in Season 9, hired by Jim and Barb Lahey to keep the new Sunnyvale, a retirement community, free of alcohol, drugs, and crime.

  • The Alcoholic: He used to have a drinking problem that ruined his life, which made him declare alcohol an enemy that must be destroyed. Somewhat of a parallel to Lahey, as while they are both sober for most of the season, they both get back on the liquor at about the same time. However, while Lahey embraces the liquor as a warm and loving friend, Leslie still considers it an enemy and starts ranting about how he "out-drank the liquor" and made it his bitch. Season ten reveals he also went off some kind of medication.
  • Ass Shove: His lowest point in the series is getting clobbered in a fight by Randy who rams his thumb up his ass and forces him to say he's a Private Dancer.
    Dancer: I'm a private dancer, now for the love of all that's holy get your thumb outta my AAAAAAAASSSSS!!!!
  • Curbstomp Battle: Received one from Randy in season 9, culminating in Randy "checking his oil".
  • Godzilla Threshold: Lahey turns to Leslie while the former is being menaced and abused by Barb and her henchwomen, and forces him at gunpoint to start drinking again so he can have the crazy tank driving maniac back as his ally.
  • Knight of Cerebus: A unique case of this, as Leslie thinks he is making Sunnyvale a better place by transforming it into a Stepford Suburbia, but without drugs and alcohol and the boys, it's become more of a Crapsaccharine World with how much the residents detest him. Indeed Leslie has done more to turn Sunnyvale on its head than any proper criminal ever did.
  • Knight Templar: He has a strict, intense demeanor, putting the rules above all else ("that's how wars are won"), and forces Randy to wear a shirt despite his condition.
  • No Medication for Me: When he reappears in season ten, he mentions he's back on his medication and feels almost like he did when he and Lahey were running Sunnyvale, "without all the crazy".
  • Phony Veteran: He really was in the military, but he was a Private, not a Colonel. He lied about his rank to avoid people making fun of the Punny Name "Private Dancer". He was also in a local reserve regiment, not the SAS.
  • Retired Monster: How Leslie sees the straight-edge version of himself that has beaten alcohol.
  • Straight Edge Evil: More of a straight edge Knight Templar, resulting from his own previous drinking problem. When he stops being straight edge, he gets even worse, and shows up in a tank.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: Leslie runs a military surplus store in Season 10, and is a lot more chill and mellow with Lahey even after getting back on the drugs and liquor.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: What he's doing boils down to trying to protect others from the dangers of alcohol that he knows so well. His interactions with Tyrone in "Why the Fuck is My Trailer Pink" definitely verge on this trope. However, in the long run, he's more of a...
  • Wild Card: Stuffs a car full of hay and gasoline and crashed the party with Lahey with the intent on killing someone, then tries to wrestle a gun from Lahey's hands while he's firing it at the boys.

     Conky 

Conky

Bubbles' ventriloquist dummy. Absolutely despised by everyone but Bubbles himself.

  • Berserk Button: Doesn't have one himself, but he knows how to push these.
  • Careful with That Axe: His singing voice is very irritating and shrill. Sometimes pops up when Bubbles' is in concert.
  • Demonic Dummy: It's never clear how much control Bubbles has over him.
  • Extreme Omnisexual: Claims he wouldn't be picky about sex partners and that all he needs is "a little bit of heat". Of course he's a hand puppet so you shouldn't think too hard about the actual logistics.
  • Jerkass: He's not even really evil, he's just annoying, domineering, and a prick.
  • Joker Immunity: He keeps coming back, if not in the show, he'd be in the live appearances.
  • Laughably Evil: Conky's constant insults and banter with Ricky can actually be funny.
  • Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: He might just be Bubbles taking an excuse to be a Jerkass for once, or he might legitimately have a mind of his own. Consider that he once had a prolonged conversation with Julian while Bubbles had a separate conversation with Ricky, and even has several drinks. He also called the ATF on the boys towards the end of season 7, without Bubbles knowing it.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Bubbles replacement puppet Bobby Turkalino (who likely won't get his own section due to being too minor a character.) Has many of Conkys unlikable irritating qualities, but is a Sesame Street-style cloth puppet than Conky, who looks like he escaped the set of Mr Rogers.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Did he honestly expect Julian to respond to being called "Patrick Swayze" any other way?

     Tommy Beans 

Tommy Beans

Portrayed by: David Rosetti

A childhood acquaintance of Julian's who appears in season 8 and 9. He has his hands in several semi legit businesses and always carries a slingshot.

  • Boisterous Weakling: Talks a big game, but is not very tough.
  • Brats with Slingshots: If Psychopathic Manchild with slingshots counts then yes.
  • The Dragon: To Cyrus in season 9
  • Evil Counterpart: He is one to Bubbles, being a bit nerdier than other criminals and also being proficient with mechanics. They both have a distinct stance for threatening opponents (Bubbles with a cocked fist, Tommy with a slingshot). Unlike Bubbles, he is The Friend Nobody Likes and used his mechanical skills to rip off and hustle as opposed to feed pets.
  • Glass Cannon: Can apparently do some damage with his slingshot, but goes down after one punch from Julian.
  • Sir Swears Alot: Could give Ricky a run for his money.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Considering he tends to pull out a slingshot when faced with semi automatic handguns and regularly antagonizes criminals, it's amazing he's not dead.

     Donald/Donna 

Donald

Portrayed by: Leigh MacInnis

New assistant trailer park supervisor in Season 8.

  • Badass Pacifist: 'Violence is never the answer." says Donald right in the middle of another Ricky/Randy scuffle.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Played with. In season 9 the Don persona is apparently gone completely without even being mentioned, however Donna is still present.
  • Costume Porn: Is right up there with Ricky in term of glamorous looking clothing.
  • Kavorka Man: Has apparently had a very active sex life, mentioning that he's caught crabs "many times" and wanting to get off work early to "woo a beautiful woman and fuck the shit out of her" early in the season. Also his looks are average at best but he's regularly referred to as handsome, with Randy calling him "toned" and Lahey talking about his "chiseled features". For reference his build is roughly similar to Ricky or Bubbles(not overweight like Randy but certainly not slim like Lahey or muscular like Julian).
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Its heavily implied the crab infestation from Season 8's Whore-A-Geddon originated from him under the guise of Donna.

Donna

Donald's twin sister, who's actually his Split Personality.

  • Co-Dragons: With Candy to Barb in season 10.
  • Dirty Coward: Much like Candy, she's quick to run away when faced with serious violence.
  • Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Is always happy to be getting shit-faced and usually ends up acting accordingly.
  • Monster Fangirl: She's the only character to visibly swoon over and show sexual interest in Leslie freakin' Dancer.
  • Put on a Bus: Barb mentions in the last episode of season 10 that she and Candy took off when shit hit the fan, and she's absent for the rest of the series.
  • Split Personality: Donald doesn't seem to have any idea that he sometimes dresses in drag and pretends to be his twin sister Donna. When Randy asks about his sister, he says that she died in a tragic accident. Assuming that's true, the split personality he developed he may be some sort of coping mechanism. Despite this, Randy and Donna continue to date, saying that what Donald doesn't know won't hurt him.
  • Split-Personality Takeover: In Season 9, we never see Donald, only Donna, implying that she took over completely.
  • Straw Feminist: Begins a heavy-handed 'Who needs men campaign' with Sarah and Barb and as a trio begins to run and and antagonize every male character in the series.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: In Season 9, Donna becomes increasingly unfriendly and hostile toward Randy. In 10, she takes another level and becomes a violent thug.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: Has this effect on both Sarah and Barb. By the end of Season 10, both Sarah and Barb attempt to reform from their previous bad girl personas, unlike Candy & Donna.

     Candy 

Candy

Portrayed by: Candy Palmater

A ex-prisoner who serves as Barb's bodyguard in Season 10.

  • The Corrupter: As Sarah says it, Barb notably became a bitch after coming back from jail and it's soon made clear Candy is the reason why.
  • Curbstomp Battle: Delivers one to Randy in season 10, much to everyone's amusement.
  • Dirty Coward: After Ricky gets shot in the Season 10 finale, Candy along with Donna run away in fear.
  • Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Is seen several times aggressively groping Lahey and Randy by the balls, then when Randy challenges her to a fight and is physically dominated and forced to tap out, Randy's efforts are laughed off by everyone present and met with a resounding "Haha you got beat up by a girl!".
  • Batter Up!: Is always seen threatening others with a pink baseball bat.
  • Fat Bastard: She's easily the biggest character on the show and a nasty bully to boot.
℅℅* Hate Sink: Probably the most vile character in the series.
  • Karma Houdini: After Ricky is shot at the end of Season 10, Candy and Donna abandon Barb and leave her to deal with the repercussions on her own.
  • Psycho Pink: Has a pink baseball bat which she uses to threaten others and she's a physically and sexually violent sociopath.
  • Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Likes to sexually assault men by groping them and worse despite her Incompatible Orientation toward the opposing gender.
  • Sex Is Violence: Claims she can beat Ricky and Julian up with one hand while using her other hand to masturbate herself.
  • Tattooed Crook: Pretty much plays this trope ramrod straight.

     Steinberg 

Steinberg

Portrayed by: Brian Heighton

Julian's scumbag lawyer.

  • Amoral Attorney: And how. He blatantly rips the boys off saying their case needs more and more money and eventually gets arrested for bribing a judge.
  • Ascended Extra: Makes an appearance in the season 8 finale, a couple more in season 9, and becomes an important recurring character in season 10.
  • Sir Swears Alot: With vivid imagery.
  • Verbal Tic: Interrupts people with "up-up-up-up-up".

Reggie

Portrayed by: Michael Kennedy

The best clone guy in Canada according to Ricky, he runs a scrap yard and occasionally helps the boys out.

  • Cool Old Guy: He's about Ray's age and has no issues about getting into gun fights. Frequently helps Ricky out and is apparently the best clone guy in Canada.
  • Sir Swears Alot: Oh yeah, and he manages to mention banging animals in every cuss he launches.

Celebrities

     Sebastian Bach 

Sebastian Bach

An American rock musician and drug dealer whom often acts as the proprietor for the boys major league drug deals.

  • Broken Pedestal: Has one for the boys at the end of Out Of The Park USA when he is appalled they would commit serial credit card theft and fraud.
  • Bully Hunter: Comes in as handy as he makes Cyrus and Sam Losco do a bullet dance, when they cause trouble for the boys during a deal.
  • Large Ham: He's an eccentric rockstar.
  • Rail Enthusiast: Has a thing for model trains, and is repeatedly stated to have a serious rivalry with Patrick Swayze over it.

A famous rapper who visits Sunnyvale resort in season 10.

  • Big Good: Shares this role along with Sebastian Bach and Tom Arnold, being celebrities with huge vested interest in the well being of Sunnyvale and it's residents. All three have helped out The Boys and their family financially and moraly during their brief cameos and have been major benefactors in the parks livelihood.
  • The Cameo: In season 11 he only appears talking to the boys on Skype.
  • Nice Guy: He's very laid back and friendly with the boys, offering to invest in Sunnyvale and bearing no ill will to Julian for scamming money out of him when it's revealed Julian no longer owns the park. He also shames some bullies for mocking Bubbles and leaves Bubbles with a an expensive ghetto blaster as a parting gift.

  • Hate Sink: He fucks over the boys surreptitiously on the road using a series of contractual technicalities. It gets old fast and keeps happening.

  • Really Gets Around: Gives crabs indirectly to Ricky through infected hotel bed, either through himself or one of the ladies he was sleeping with.
