Trailer Park Supervisor Jim Lahey

Here’s a list of the most memorable drunks in movie history. It’s pretty good, but not great. There’s one character missing and that’s trailer park supervisor Jim Lahey.

You can find this inebriated wonder in 'Trailer Park Boys: The Movie.' The film is a continuation of the popular Canadian comedy show 'Trailer Park Boys.' Lahey was once a police offer who lost his job back in 1977 due to a prank pulled by trailer park resident kids. Now that the kids are all grown up: Ricky (pot dealer), Julian (criminal mastermind of the park with heists including robbing parking meters) and Bubbles (steals broken shopping carts from the market, fixes them, and then sells them back to the market) are feeling Lahey’s wrath as he makes it his mission to get these three kicked out of the trailer park which they love so much.

The show has been a hit in Canada for all of its seven seasons and last year the movie was released in the U.S. If you like great characters and hearing the word “fuck” used as a noun, verb, adverb and adjective a lot - then this show is for you.

Here’s a quick clip of Mr. Lahey explaining to Randy (his bulbous, shirtless sidekick) why he needs the booze to get the job done. You can find tons of Trailer Park Boys Youtube clips if you feel the need venture further into this Canadian masterpiece.

The Good Day

As far as local morning news, I watch Good Day New York. Don’t let the ‘Fox’ name fool you, this is local news: traffic, subway delays, weather, etc.

Now you can tune into any local TV station and get all the same morning news info, so getting good personalities to report this news is key. GDNY tries harder than any other local channel (as I’ve researched) to keep things interesting.

With that said I’d like to present to you what can only be the “jumping the shark” moment in the team’s efforts to be super personable. It’s called 'The Good Day' and makes me wonder what their brainstorming sessions are like.

When you begin the video the first thing you’ll want to do is stop and enjoy ANYTHING else on the Internet. It’s some of the newscasters dancing in the streets of NYC and encouraging the public to join them. Now this isn’t just any dance; it’s a specific dance with instructions and encouragement.

Do what I do and try to think about these reporters as people that someday want to get the call to the big leagues - prime time news. Look into their forced smiles and see the glimmer of a more respectable career dim away to utter darkness as they “Push right, bring it left, roll low, go high & clap.”

Worried that you’ll get lost in this unfamiliar choreography? Don’t be. There’s a quick tutorial before the organized sadness.

A Rose is a Rose

I've never been a fan of Charlie Rose. By the looks of his set (plain dark background, simple wooden table and chairs) you'd think that you were about to get a very intimate interview. Wrong. His half-glazed stare and somewhat irksome look reminds me of a meeting I had with my guidance counselor in the 12th grade.

This was the first time we had ever met but it only took him an astounding 2 minutes to fully understand me as person an advise me on the right path to start my life...with the phone company.

I found this to be funny and informed him that I love phones and use one at home, but I was afraid of falling off the telephone pole and dying. His reply was, "They have other jobs there Kevin, behind a desk for instance."

What a guy. And my name wasn't, and still isn't, Kevin.

Anyway, back to Charlie boy. What's even more irritating than a Charlie Rose interview? How about Rose interviewing Rose? Enjoy...or don't. It's kinda good and bad.
