Trailer Park Boys

A Mountain Lion Named Steve French

by admin on June 4, 2026
in Television

Updated on 6/4/26: Originally published on September 16th, 2004 – shortly after the episode first aired.

Steve French is the dope-addicted mountain lion from Trailer Park Boys Season 4, Episode 6, “If You Love Something, Set It Free.” For fans of the Canadian mockumentary, this 2004 episode stands as a series high-water mark. It perfectly balances Sunnyvale’s signature absurdity – like Trevor getting assaulted by a cougar high on Viagra burgers – with genuine, earned emotion from Bubbles. DavePye.com breaks down why this specific episode remains a cult favorite, the behind-the-scenes reality of filming with live predators, and why three grown men crying in the woods over a wild animal is the purest distillation of the show’s heart.

Three grown men crying in the woods over a mountain lion they’ve known for 72 hours. That’s the thing nobody expects from a show about petty criminals in a Nova Scotia, Canada trailer park. The almighty Sunnyvale.

The Legacy of Sunnyvale’s Biggest Kitty

When you ask a hardcore fan to name the best episode of the series, “If You Love Something, Set It Free” is almost always in the top three. Personally, I’d add “Closer to the Heart” and absolutely “Who’s the Microphone Assassin?” to the list.

Steve French’s introduction to the popular culture pantheon currently holds an 8.5/10 rating on IMDB, and publications like CinemaBlend consistently rank it among the show’s absolute best. It’s the episode that defines exactly what the show does better than any other comedy on television: it takes a premise that sounds like a drunken fever dream and grounds it in absolute sincerity.

Season 4 is widely considered the peak of the series. The boys are out of jail, the schemes are intricate, and the character dynamics are fully locked in. But this episode is the emotional anchor of the season.

The setup is pure Sunnyvale. Something is eating Ricky’s dope crop. Bubbles assumes it’s a “Samsquantch,” but it turns out to be a full-grown mountain lion. Naturally, Bubbles doesn’t call animal control. He slaps a choker chain on a 150-pound apex predator, names him “Steve French” – noting the cougar’s markings look like a French Canadian mustache – and decides to wean him off the marijuana.

What follows is twenty-two minutes of chaos. Steve French wanders the park. He eats Randy’s Viagra-laced burgers (intended for Jim Lahey). He develops an inappropriate attraction to Trevor’s leopard-print jacket. But the jokes aren’t why the episode is remembered. It’s remembered for the ending.

What Steve French Reveals About Bubbles

Bubbles’ relationship with cats is the longest-running gag on the show. But Steve French is where the gag becomes something real. Bubbles doesn’t just like cats (he also likes liquor and whores). He sees something in them – a kind of uncomplicated loyalty that the rest of his chaotic life can’t offer. When he looks at a mountain lion and sees a “big kitty” who needs help, that’s not stupidity. That’s Bubbles being exactly who he is.

The brilliance of the episode is how it forces the rest of the cast to meet Bubbles on his level. Julian’s instinct is to get rid of the lion immediately. Julian always sees the angle and the risk. Ricky’s instinct is to panic.

Yet, in the final scene, all three men are standing in the woods, crying as they release Steve French back into the wild. They aren’t mocking Bubbles. They’re mourning with him. That’s the show at its best – characters who are fundamentally self-interested, getting pulled into genuine emotion by their friend’s sincerity.

The Lahey “Shit Abyss” Connection

There’s a subtle layer to this episode that often goes unnoticed. It features one of Jim Lahey’s most famous liquor-fueled rants. Staring down Ricky, Lahey slurs out: “He who looks into the abyss realizes that there’s nothing looking back at him, and the only thing he sees is his own character, Ricky. You understand? Bud? The Abyss? The shit-abyss.”

It’s a direct bastardization of Friedrich Nietzsche’s famous quote: “And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.”

Lahey twisting 19th-century German philosophy into a drunken threat about trailer park politics is the kind of high-low comedy that makes the show brilliant. It elevates the character from a simple drunk to a tragic, over-educated figure trapped in his own failures. Most sitcoms would be content with the physical comedy of Lahey falling over. Trailer Park Boys gives him a Nietzsche reference.

The Accidental Genius of the J-Roc Subplot

The episode also features one of the most elegant pieces of plotting in the entire series. J-Roc is supposed to be in jail, which gives him immense street cred. In reality, he got a light sentence of community service and has been hiding under his mom’s trailer so his manager, DVS, doesn’t find out he’s not actually doing hard time.

The boys decide the best place to hide Steve French from Lahey is under J-Roc’s trailer. When they shove the mountain lion under the skirting, a terrified J-Roc scrambles out, completely blowing his cover.

It’s a masterclass in sitcom writing. A mountain lion accidentally solves a completely unrelated problem just by existing. It ties the A-plot and the B-plot together without forcing the characters to act out of character.

The Best Rickyisms of the Episode

You can’t talk about a classic episode without looking at the Rickyisms. “If You Love Something, Set It Free” delivers two of the best in the series.

When trying to figure out what’s wrong with the mountain lion, Ricky panics and asks: “What if he has radies?” It’s a perfect Rickyism – he knows the word rabies exists, he knows it’s associated with wild animals, but his brain just slightly misfires on the delivery.

Later, when comforting Bubbles about releasing the cat, Ricky attempts to use the episode’s titular proverb: “If he comes back, it forever was, just like the saying.” It’s completely mangled, but the intent is so genuinely sweet that it works anyway.

Behind the Scenes: The Real Steve French

Filming the episode was considerably more dangerous than it looked on screen. Steve French was actually played by two real, trained cougars named Stoney and Sophie, provided by Creative Animal Talent.

According to Mike Smith (who plays Bubbles), working with the big cats was terrifying. During an appearance on the Roach Approach podcast, Smith revealed that he had some incredibly close calls on set. At one point, one of the cougars reportedly lunged at him, and he was only saved by the handler intervening at the last possible second.

When you watch the episode knowing that Smith was inches away from an actual, unpredictable predator, Bubbles’ nervous energy in those scenes takes on a whole new context. The fear in his eyes wasn’t entirely acting. I wonder how frightening he found Elliot / Ellen Page during her brief stint in Season 1?

The Animated Return of Steve French

For years, fans wondered if Steve French would ever make a comeback. The show answered that question in 2019, though not in the live-action format. In Season 1, Episode 4 of Trailer Park Boys: The Animated Series (titled “The Penis Milker”), Steve French returns.

The animated format allows the show to lean fully into the absurdity. Bubbles consumes a massive amount of mushrooms, resulting in a hallucination where Steve French can actually speak to him – complete with a thick French Canadian accent. It’s a surreal callback that honors the original episode and takes advantage of the new format’s lack of physical limitations.

Overcharged for Hydro in Ontario

by admin on October 2, 2010
in Whinging

electrocuteWhen a neighbour of mine popped over recently to ask if I too were being charged insane monthly hydro amounts, I looked back on my bills for the summer (I live in Portland, Ontario) to learn they’ve been consistently $500 and over for many, many months. How did I miss these ridiculous charges? My lame excuse is: because the monthly hydro bills are directly withdrawn from my bank account. So I logged into said account and looked a little closer to see that for September’s bill of over $900 had just been directly placed in Hydro One’s coffers. “WTF?” doesn’t really cover the reaction that followed.

And here’s the thing – I’ve been having issues with my furnace and have had it completely switched off for over 4 weeks now. Were I running a grow-op with massive amounts of hydroponic equipment nurturing illegal flora in my basement, I’d keep my mouth shut. But since my Hydro bill should have actually been dramatically less for last month – well, it’s driven me to blog about this nonsense in the hopes eventual readers might be able to share their stories or shed some light on just what the heck is going on. And forget the $900 for a second. I’ve easily been paying over 50% more every month than should be normal for a 30 day utility charge for over a frickin’ year now.

Hydro One: I’m not building a spaceship, powering a nuclear reactor or harbouring the Trailer Park Boys’ next big growing scheme on my property. I’m going to call you next week and try to get to the bottom of this. And by “get to the bottom of this” I actually mean “get a massive credit/refund”. I will keep everyone updated as to what transpires. If you’ve found this post via a Google search and are in the same boat – please leave your own story in the comments below. In the meantime, I’ll be panhandling or selling my body in anticipation of next month’s financial haemorrhage.

Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys

by admin on December 11, 2008

There are no words. I will let Clattenburg do the talking and ruminate further in a future post.

“Over the past few months there has been a lot of discussion among our fans and those in the media about the future of Trailer Park Boys. Will there be another season, another special, another movie? The last thing we want to do is keep our loyal fans in the dark about the show we have all loved doing for the past eight years, so we’d like now to shed some light.

We have a final one hour television special, Say Goodnight To The Bad Guys, which goes to air on Showcase on Sunday, December 7, 2008. Then after that, our sequel movie, Countdown To Liquor Day (working title), is due to be released in Canadian theatres in October, 2009.

But, after that, there will be no more. Yes, it’s the end of Trailer Park Boys. Our fans have been so supportive and inspiring that we wanted you to be the first to know. Much love and thanks from all of us at Sunnyvale Trailer Park.”


“I love all creatures. Like gophers and deerts, and all those flying things and everything else – but seagulls i got no time for those cocksuckers.”

It’s going to be tough going without you boys, but I’ll manage. Somehow, I’ll have to manage. Raising a glass of Jiffy Wine to you, sirs.

Trailer Park Boys: Season Fucking 7.

by admin on April 3, 2007
in Television

While most of us are running around filled with glee at the imminent start of the Sopranos’ final 6 episodes, let us not forget that April also marks the start of a new season in Sunnyvale. Season 7 begins with “I Fuckin’ Miss Corey and Trevor” and premieres this Sunday night at 9pm:



“The Trailer Park Boys are back for their 7th season. Cross border dope smuggling, model train hobbyists and Sebastian Bach, ex-frontman of Skid Row collide in these 10 hilarious new episodes.“

It sounds like the boys will have a few run-ins with Americans in this new foray. After a little digging, I found some spoilers. They boys will be selling meat in the LC parking lot to make money. Lahey switches from Liquor to dope. Apparently there’s several new animals in the park, including Sheryl the Crow and some raccoons. Ricky discussing the new influx of critters: “… but I got fuckin’ insects now coming to my trailer, frogs and fuckin these things that look like cats but they got this long beaky nose things , they’re all attracted to my dope …“

As for #7 supposedly being the Sunnyvale’s last hurrah, Rob Wells (Ricky) recently said: “It’s still up in the air,” he said. “We’d love to keep going. A couple of people are a little tired and burnt out and need a break.” It’s no secret who Wells is referring too. Corey and Trevor are apparently completely absent from this series because the actors who play them didn’t want to participate. Which I’m sure they’ll regret in a few years when they’re both living off bar appearances. “We’re definitely up for keeping going, if everyone else is.” In the new series it’s apparently reported that Corey and Trevor have been committed to a mental institution because of all the abuse at the hands of Ricky and Julian over the years.

If you live in Canada, you can watch the entire first episode as of yesterday on Showcase’s website. If you live in the states, like me, it’s blocked. Bugger. But never fear my Yank friends, about an hour after the show airs on Sunday it will be available for download via a torrent right here. If you can’t wait, here’s a poor quality torrent rip of the webstream that is blocked in the USA. Now frig off.

Friday’s Quizzlet: Am I Mad, In A Coma, Or Back In Time?

by admin on February 16, 2007
in Friday's Quizzlet, Television

The Quizzlet was another repeat today. I wish she wouldn’t do that so often. Perhaps I should start my own quiz meme site. I’ll get in a little practice and write my own questions today. Please feel free to play along in the comments.

What will you miss most about Boston if you ever actually leave?
Not counting friends, narry a whole heck of a lot. If that were a different story, I probably wouldn’t be leaving in the first place. I won’t be sitting in my apartment in Toronto weeping and working on an oil painting of the Charlestown skyline – let’s put it that way.

What is your favorite television show? Pay TV doesn’t count.
The second season of the brilliant Life on Mars started last week, and I’ve downloaded the first 2 episodes, as I recommend you do here. If you don’t fall in love with Gene Hunt and Sam Tyler after an hour, “I’ll come around your houses and stamp on all your toys. Got it? Good kids”. The Trailer Park Boys Movie is now out on DVD, too.

What profession do you wish you’d taken up instead of your current one?
Take it easy, James Lipton. I should have become a homicide detective. All I do in my spare time is watch reality cop shows, and I would love to clock in every day tasked with catching lazy, murderous scumbags. Coincidentally, that’s also the new name of my garage band.

Are there any hardcore Democrats in the audience who feel like their party is completely screwing the pooch in terms of selecting a candidate for 2008?
I’d love to see a woman in the presidency some day. I’d love to see a black person in the presidency some day. Hell – let’s just blow everyone’s mind and elect Tyra Banks. But let’s also be realistic and keep the endgame in mind – this isn’t the decade. The country isn’t ready for it yet. Short of running a unicorn or one of those hairdo trolls that you put on the end of a pencil, the Dems are going to have to come back down to Earth if they want to stand a ghost of a chance next year. Am I wrong?

Wednesday Wadio: Liquor & Guns & Whores & Roses.

by admin on November 30, 2006
in Television, Wednesday Wadio

“This is a song I play down at the legion sometimes…” – Bubbles.

The Trailer Park Boys rake in a ton of money in the show’s off-season making in-character personal appearances, and for the last few years they have toured as opening acts for a lot of Canadian bands. They took it a step further last week in Halifax, Nova Scotia – their home Province.

“Axl has done duets with the likes of Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler, Bono, Springsteen, and now …Bubbles! A page in the history of rock n roll was written that night, and I’m glad I was there to witness it.” -YouTube comment

The Metro Center in Halifax holds a gazillion people, and I know it was sold out for this show. To hear thousands of voices singing along to Bubbles’ infamous ditty is something you just have to watch for yourself. And when Axl himself does his strange little serpentine slither up to the front of the stage to join in, and actually appears to know the words, it’s a very odd sight indeed. But in a good way.

“Seeing Axl Rose sing along to Nova Scotia’s new official anthem rocks …and hearing how the nearly 10,000 people there knew all the words is just so insanely funny.” YouTube Comment

Wednesday Wadio: Trailer Park Menagerie.

by admin on October 11, 2006
in Television, Wednesday Wadio

To celebrate P-Cip, Sean and my’s foray into Canadian media fame, see the Trailer Park Boys have American Fans article from yesterday, I thought I’d look for a musical clip related to the show. The first thing I found is a funny scene from the new movie where Tragically Hip’s lead singer, Gord Downie, makes a cameo as a cop. Ricky, who is famous in the TV series for tricking cops to get out of trouble, convinces them that Julian is deaf. The other cop, who asks “Where are you coming from?” is Alex Lifeson, the lead guitarist from RUSH:

Then I found a clip from the beginning of my all-time favorite episode, Who’s the Microphone Assassin, where J-Roc and the Roc Pile shoot a low-budget video for the song of the same name. “The day that J-Roc loses his flow is the day that hair on Jim Lahey’s bald head grow…“

Later in the same episode, the boys have a rap concert. But J-Roc has stage fright due to having been caught masturbating (I couldn’t make this stuff up) so other members of the gang have to fill in. Cory, Trevor and then finally Bubbles get up on stage to bust some rhymes. “Mad MC skills leave ya struck, and I roll with my kitties and I’m hard as fuck!”

And finally, J-Roc gets talked into performing, and the ditty he performs about his mom catching him wanking is undeniably catchy. Ask anyone who has seen this episode – you’ll be chanting “It could happen to you, cause it happened to me…” for a few days afterwards.

If you’re uninitiated, I’ve just given you an easy way to take a peek at this ridiculous phenomenon. Hit the play button on any of the videos to see the clips. I swear this is almost the last of it. Since I’m now an official authority, I have to act accordingly.

The Pye In The Face Press Desk has been ablaze all day. First, Goonblog gets mentioned on MSNBC. Obviously, I thought it would end there. I didn’t go on a tri-county shooting spree or anything. Maybe Chris did – I should ask. Then, a nice woman emails me from the Canadian Press and asks if I’d like to do an interview about American Trailer Park Boys fans. She Googled PITF and obviously found an obsessive number of references. I am inching closer and closer to winning the ultimate object of my desire. My muse. My filthy fantasy dirty-time woman. You guessed it – Liz Walker.

The Reviews Are Trickling In. And It Doesn’t Suck.

by admin on October 6, 2006
in Television

Trailer Park Boys: The Movie is set to become the top-grossing Canadian film of all time. And if that doesn’t happen, it will at least eclipse the current canon of FUBAR, Porky’s and Strange Brew as the most internationally accessible piece of Canadian celluloid out there. With Ivan Reitman (you may have heard of Ghostbusters) producing, Clatterburg’s motley crew of guttersnipes is poised for an accompanying distribution deal of the 7 seasons of hilarious TV shows. They are currently talking to three major networks – including Showtime. The stipulation so far has been that it has to be sold somewhere on cable so they don’t have to edit out all the swearing, which is why many feel it didn’t fare better on BBC America 2 years ago. Bleeps just aren’t as funny as creative lines like: “Knock knock, Who’s there? Fuck off“, obviously.


The soundtrack they’ve put together is impressive, and should make a mint all by itself. And, like on the TV show, Canadian musician cameos are in full-effect. “two already avowed Trailer Park fans, Rush’s Alex Lifeson and the Tragically Hip’s Gord Downie — unrecognizable beneath cheesy moustaches — as a couple of gung-ho cops.” That is definitely worth the price of a ticket right there. I will post reviews as I find them over the weekend. Things are looking good so far, and don’t think there aren’t critics in Canada who’d love to see this movie fail. These reviews will be fair.

Toronto Star: *** – There is even time for a little character development — actual, almost heartwarming romance, even.

Ottawa Citizen: *** – The dignity is the surprise in Trailer Park Boys … most of the time. Julian is the large man who carries a constant glass of rum-and-Coke, even when he goes to the bar (“I brought this from home,” he explains).

Globe and Mail: ** 1/2 – Where it works, brilliantly on occasion, is at the edges (the best lines arrive as tossed-off asides) and in the performances of a cast who have lived with these characters long enough to capture them intimately, and to convey their strange blend of weirdness and familiarity.

A fellow blogger makes a nice TPB related comment about some of my fruitless Squidoo work. Thanks, pal. Here’s a link right back at ya. But he’s right – I’m going nutty at the moment in antici… pation. Doyle has just suggested a Season 6 marathon at my place in the North End on September 9th. So who is in? Pepperoni, Bacardi, chicken fingers (the $8 kind), Jiffy Wine, pickle chips and slow-fried baloney sammiches will be served. Come help me horrify my new roomate.

Friday’s Quizzlet: Euphamism For Way Too Much Free Time.

by admin on August 4, 2006
in Monday's Quotelet

Appetizer: Name an actor or actress you think is totally underappreciated.
John Dunsworth who plays Mr. Lahey on Trailer Park Boys is an exceptional actor. In addition to the best drunk impersonation I’ve seen since Foster Brooks, some of the show’s most touching moments have focused on his multi-layered, tragic character. He’s been acting on the Canadian scene since 1987, and worked as a granite hauler, casting agent and cab driver prior. Now, he spends most of his time playing bridge, sailing and making shit analogies.

Soup:
Impress us by using a big word in a sentence.
Quizzlet, I don’t think you fully realize the potential consequences of erudite vernacular when utilized irrespective of necessity. Now frig off.



Salad: What is something inanimate that you’ve given a name to (i.e pet rock)?
I have little names for everything, and a lot of fun completely bastardizing the English language. My big thing these days is to tag ‘let’ on to things that are small, cute or silly. My sister and I call eachother ‘tardlets’. My friend’s daughter is ‘Grifflet’. I made up a word and an associated site for silly euphamisms called Friglets. It’s a sad statelet of affairs.

Main Course: What color would best represent your personality and why?
Cobalt blue is my favorite color. It represents my personality because it is calm, strong and completely non-commital. Am I cobalt? Am I blue? Will I die alone?

Dessert: Fill in the blanks: ______ is so _______.
Hansel is so hot right now. Admit it. It’s the first thing you thought of too.

I saw a little kid this morning with the same Sunnyvale T-Shirt you see me wearing in the photo below from the Beachcomber. He was with his family outside the Park Plaza. I yelled out “Freedom 35!” and he looked at me like I’d just opened the sliding door of a black 1975 Chevy van and offered him moist candy corn. Then it seemed to sink in and he laughed, as did his father. I assume he was a Canadian tourist, but what if he wasn’t? What if the upcoming movie becomes a cult classic along the lines of Strange Brew or FUBAR and I’m suddenly vindicated for all the TPB prattling I’ve been doing on here for the last 24 months? October 6th fast approaches.

I’m Not Your Donner.

The only thing that’s worse than oppressive heat is oppressive heat in the middle of a rainstorm. And the only thing worse than that is having nothing better to talk about than the frigging weather. At least in this scenario no one can accuse me of having a degenerative sweat duct disorder. I have to traverse the city twice tonight for meetings and will undoubtedly stumble through my apartment door around 9pm like one of the Donner Party.

The Oilers lost last night, and although I was bummed it was one of the greatest and most exciting series of hockey, or any other sport, that I’ve ever watched. Now what am I supposed to do? Glad you asked. Luckily Big Brother (the UK version – I’m not that sad) is in full swing, and my router at home is smoking from all the downloading. Year after year I am absolutely transfixed by this show, and I’m not proud of it. Good watchin’.

I have to wrap it up and start the evening’s journey. I’ll leave you all with this insane Lego site, where someone with even more spare time than me has made “dream playsets” of all his favorite pop-culture icons – including Trailer Park Boys. And yes, Julian has a little lego Bacardi and Coke.

Trailer Park Boys Video Clips

“Got a grey kitty, white one and a tabby too – and a little orange guy who puts snakes in my shoe. Mad MC skills leave ya struck, and I roll with my kitties and I’m hard as fuck!” – Bubbles.

I’ve lost a little steam in regards to my affection for Squidoo. The first couple of months it made me some money – but now it’s slowed down and a lot of people have abandoned it. It’s still useful in terms of SEO, but if I’m not at work building lenses for clients – I don’t really touch it at all. Squidoo, that is.

Yesterday all that changed. The most recent versions of Flash have enabled great and easy video compression, and sites like Google Video – and especially YouTube – have blasted through the roof. Now anyone can upload massive sized videos and have them compressed on the fly for all to see. I uploaded some clips I shot at the Pogues concert back in March, and they got tons of traffic and I even received emails from other people who were at the show, saying hello. A big honking community has built up around it.

Now Squidoo has a YouTube plugin, which enables you to choose thumbnails of your favorite videos or even embed the player right into the lens full-sized. I wanted to give ‘er a test last night, so I opened up my Trailer Park Boys lens for the first time in a while and integrated all of the funniest clips I could find. There’s Bubbles rapping, a Jim Lahey drunk montage, Ricky trying to get his grade 10 and many more. If you’ve been curious about the show, or just want to refresh your memory, visit Sunnyvale to watch all of the readily accessible new videos. Or maybe don’t.

A Long Way From Sunnyvale.

Has anyone else noticed that the evil girl (Ellen Page) in the new movie Hard Candy is Treena Lahey from Trailer Park Boys? Remember in Seasons one and two Mr. Lahey had a daughter living with him who wasn’t allowed to hang out with Ricky? Just me? OK. Well regardless, that’s her. I liked this movie a lot better when it was called Poison Ivy/The Crush but good for Ellen! She’s also in X3. Another Canuck on the foreward invasion force.
