Ricky
Richard "Ricky" (Robb Wells) is a fun-loving, dim-witted lowlife who enjoys marijuana, pepperoni, potato chips, licorice, cigarettes, Ravioli, chicken fingers, and alcoholic beverages. Also, back in the 1999 original black and white "Trailer Park Boys" movie, Ricky used cocaine with Julian. Ricky references this in the first episode of season one. As he is getting out of prison, he says to the camera crew Julian hired, that, "[Julian] He's the one force feeding me drugs and every other god damn thing...". Ricky is the series' protagonist. He and Julian have been best friends since childhood and are almost codependent, with Ricky relying on his friend to guide him and keep his antics in check. While good natured towards his friends and family, Ricky is also foul-mouthed, volatile, and aggressive, and almost always manages to anger, offend, and alienate those around him. He has always been a trouble maker and often refuses to take responsibility for his actions, illegal or otherwise. He seems to believe that any form of evidence of wrongdoing can be dispensed with by simply flinging it into the air from where he is standing or by submerging it in a nearby lake. As a result, the grounds of the trailer park and the lake are littered with evidence of crimes. Fortunately, he is very adept at talking his way out of trouble with the police. A lifetime of drinking, smoking dope, and slacking off has left Ricky with a below average intelligence, for which he is often ridiculed. Even Ricky considers himself stupid, having repeatedly failed grades and having dropped out of school entirely after grade 9. On the other hand, he is also fairly clever and has many practical areas of expertise, such as growing marijuana, fixing cars, cooking, and siphoning gas. He also has an impressive way of confusing and dispersing police who catch him committing a crime with simple conversation. Although characters such as Lahey or the police deride Ricky as nothing but a loser and a criminal, he is very devoted to his family, especially his daughter Trinity. Even though Ricky often tries to take the easy way out by breaking the law instead of getting a real job, he occasionally demonstrates some dedication to work and education in an effort to prove himself more than a simple lowlife. Ricky is known for his trademark malapropisms ("Denial and Error"; "Catch-23 situation"; "Get two birds stoned at once"; "Worst case Ontario"; "It's clear to see who makes the pants here"), dubbed "Rickyisms" by fans. He often wears black track pants and a Houndstooth patterned shirt and enjoys listening to Canadian '80s rock bands such as Helix, April Wine and Kim Mitchell. For most of the series, Ricky lives in and drives the "Shitmobile", a dilapidated 1975 Chrysler New Yorker. He bears a resemblance to the hypnotist Peter Reveen, which was much to his apparent chagrin. In season eight, Ricky gets a pet goldfish named "Orangie" who, naive to his own logic, keeps dying because he keeps giving him shooters, leaving Bubbles to trick Ricky that Orangie is in a deep sleep while Jacob and Corey are tasked to replace the goldfish without Ricky's knowledge. In season 9, Ricky acquires a pet baby goat, which he names "Willy Goat" or "Willy" for short. Trinity also gives birth to a child and Ricky becomes a grandfather. As in previous seasons, Ricky remains very devoted to his family, including his new grandson and to his pets despite his well meaning attempts to get them drunk and stoned.
