Rickyisms 

Oh my god, boys. Ricky is at it again. He’s trying to use big words and he’s just mangling them. It’s a disaster. He thinks “survival of the fitness” is a thing! He thinks he’s an “optometrist” instead of an optimist! I mean, I love the guy, he’s my best friend, but sometimes his brain just short circuits. It’s like watching a raccoon try to open a lock; it’s frustrating but impressive.

“Worst case Ontario” might be his masterpiece though. It sounds right, doesn’t it? It almost makes sense. And honestly, watching flames “golfing” out the roof? That’s poetry. Ricky has a way of describing the chaos of the park that nobody else can match. He might not have his Grade 10, but he’s got street smarts… sort of.

Welcome to Sunnyvale, where the logic is fuzzy but the confidence is absolute. This collection celebrates the linguistic genius of Ricky from Trailer Park Boys, a man who navigates life through “denial and error” and always fears the “worst case Ontario.”

The calculator moment is rare humility from Ricky. Admitting a battery is smarter than you takes courage. And the ravioli confession? We’ve all been there. Nobody wants to admit they ate nine cans, but sometimes, life just happens.

If you appreciate the wisdom of the park, keep the schemes going. We suggest looking at trailer park boys memes, funny tv quotes, and canadian humor for more Sunnyvale shenanigans.
