Week #1 Show Teaser Happy Town

Cousin Jay laments the difficulty of being an Edmonton surfer. The buses refuse to let him ride with a surfboard. So he designs and builds a revolutionary new type of board that is worn like a suit of armour. He also attempts to surf on it at the West Edmonton Mall Wave Pool. Meanwhile Frederick gets drunk and sprays him with a fire extinguisher. NOTE: We apologize to the Edmonton Surf Club.

Week #1 Show Teaser

Synopsis

Cousin Jay is a brilliant, highly educated engineer with a childlike imagination and a willingness to execute his wildest fantasies, no matter how unusual or inappropriate they may be.

Fred is a professional film critic with zero patience for idiocy and a tendency to drink.

Watch them as they try to build things that shouldn't exist. Clothes made out of surfboards. Hammocks for fish. Lasagnas made OUT OF LASAGNAS!

Team

Frederick Kroetsch

Producer, Talent

I'm a very silly person from Edmonton. When I'm not making documentaries or working as a journalist, I film my cousin Jay making weird inventions. Often i get drunk and mock him. We filmed many of these escapades and I believe now is the time to turn this into a TV series.

Rebecca Campbell

Producer, Marketing / Social

I'm Frederick's fiancé - one day our little Freddies and our little Jays will ask Mommy: "why are daddy and cousin Jay so silly?" Foreseeing this impossible question, and not quite knowing if I'll ever be able to answer it, I decided to help document their almost-comical interactions, so that one day mommy can roll her eyes and tell her little darlings: "Just push play."

Oh god help me I love this. Canada's worst handyman meets that crazy bear suit inventor, all through the lens of the Trailer Park Boys.
