Ep 7. Amsterdam (1)
- October 28, 2016
As the title suggests, Trailer Park Boys out of the Park: Europe is a spin-off of the popular Canadian mockumentary show Trailer Park Boys. The premise of the show is simple: the Trailer Park Boys--Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles--travel around Europe, getting into all sorts of misadventures.
In episode 7 of season 1, the boys find themselves in Amsterdam, known for its beautiful canals, narrow houses, and, of course, relaxed marijuana laws. As they explore the city, the boys indulge in some of Amsterdam's famous cannabis cafes, where they sample some of the city's finest strains.
The boys aren't content with just getting high in Amsterdam, though. They also want to experience some of the city's other famous attractions. Ricky, in particular, is excited to visit the Red Light District, where he plans to hire a prostitute. Julian is more interested in visiting the city's infamous sex clubs, while Bubbles wants to check out the museums.
As they wander through the winding streets of the city, the boys encounter all sorts of eccentric characters. They meet a group of street performers who are more interested in getting high than entertaining tourists, a local fishmonger who instructs the boys on how to smoke a joint with a fish head, and even a group of Dutch swingers who try to convince Julian and Ricky to join them in a threesome.
As the day wears on, the boys get increasingly stoned and disoriented. They get lost in the maze-like streets of the city and end up wandering into a sketchy part of town. There, they encounter a group of menacing Dutch bikers who begin to hassle them.
Just when things seem like they can't get any worse, Ricky spots someone he recognizes: a former nemesis who is now living in Amsterdam and has become a high-powered drug dealer. Tensions rise as the two foes come face to face, and the boys are forced to decide whether to stand by Ricky or cut and run.
Throughout all of this, the boys never lose their sense of humor. They crack jokes, share anecdotes, and generally have a good time, even when things get dangerous. The episode is a hilarious and often surreal romp through one of Europe's most colorful and vibrant cities.
