They have absolute moments of genius.
The one guy I feel for is Randy. The actor playing him is a chubby guy and is always walking around with no shirt on. It's over the top.
I think the reason that so many people like the show is we all can relate to it at one level or another. If you haven't been in some stupid situation in your life like TPB, then you know people who have, or people who live life just like the characters on the show.
(I have and I do)
I think Ricky and Bubbles are my two favourite characters.
The one episode where Ricky has to watch Julian's dog and the dog eats Ricky's Weed Brownies, then Ricky's daughter accidently shoots him in the ass while playing with his gun, so they end up at the vet to get the bullet taken out of Ricky's ass (after they sort out the dog) then for payment, the vet wants them to steal his tractor back from some guy who supposedly borrowed it, then Ricky ends up getting shot again (in the ass) by the guy who borrowed the tractor, and they end up back at the vet is just about the funniest episode I have ever seen. I just about died laughing at that one.
There's just too many to list. It's not quite second city, the all time best Canadian TV show, but it's in the league.
At the end of the day though, as stupid and nutty as the characters in the show are, they do actually care about one another.
