The following is a list of characters featured in the Canadian television series Trailer Park Boys.

Main characters

Ricky

Richard "Ricky" LaFleur (played by Robb Wells), is one of the three primary characters in the series. Ricky is described as a fun-loving, dim-witted slacker who enjoys marijuana, Jalapeño Potato Chips, pepperoni, chicken chips, licorice, cigarettes, ravioli, chicken fingers, fish sticks, and alcoholic beverages.

Julian

Julian "Jules" (played by John Paul Tremblay) is the eldest primary character in the series. He is responsible for hiring the camera crew that follows the characters around, originally meant to document his life. Like Ricky, Julian enjoys marijuana and alcoholic beverages, and he used to smoke cigarettes. In the original 1999 black-and-white movie Trailer Park Boys, Julian sold and used cocaine, and Ricky also indulged. Despite being a career criminal, Julian follows a clearly defined set of morals and often displays a level of honour and selflessness well beyond that of a normal criminal.

Bubbles

Bubbles (played by Mike Smith) is the youngest primary character, Julian and Ricky's closest friend, and the series' breakout character. In the first season, like most of the characters in the show, Bubbles maintains a somewhat-reserved demeanour to look good on camera. Early on, he reveals that he was abandoned by his parents, retaining only a bubble-making machine as keepsake from his childhood. As the series progresses, he reveals many sides to his personality.

Bubbles's full name is not revealed until a later TPB film, Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It, at 58 minutes and 50 seconds into the movie. In a scene, his parent's mailbox reveals his last name to be Harnis, a play on the name for a business, Harness Work. Throughout the Trailer Park Boys series, he is simply referred to as 'Bubbles' by other characters, friends, hospitals, courts, and other officials and entities. He is known for his hoarse Maritimer English, sensitive nature, pearl snap shirts, and thick glasses that magnify his eyes to a considerable degree. Bubbles has never been seen without his glasses, even in photographs of him as a child.

Conky

Conky is a ventriloquist puppet that Bubbles received from a family member who used him in vaudeville times. Bubbles treats Conky as a trusted friend, but bestows him with a caustic, annoying, and domineering personality. Conky tends to insult people, especially Ricky; his utterances even shock Bubbles himself.

Jim Lahey

James "Jim" Lahey (played by John Dunsworth) is the supervisor of Sunnyvale Trailer Park. In his youth, Lahey was an idealistic police officer, but since his wrongful dismissal as a result of a prank by Julian, Ricky, and Bubbles on Halloween 1977, he degenerated into a bitter alcoholic. Still, he has devoted himself to making Sunnyvale a better place to live, accompanied by his devoted assistant Randy. Even in his most incoherent moments, Lahey maintains an extreme affinity for the trailer park and all of its residents except Ricky.

Randy

Randall, commonly referred to as Randy and Bobandy (pronounced: BOH-bandy) (played by Patrick Roach), is Jim Lahey's devoted assistant trailer park supervisor. Their relationship began in 1997 when Lahey's then-wife Barbara found Randy turning tricks for cheeseburgers while calling himself "Smokey" and wearing a cowboy hat. Out of her Christian charity, she invited him to stay with them for a time.

It is revealed in the sixth season that Randy is bisexual; he had been maintaining a sexual relationship with Lahey, but also becomes sexually attracted to Sarah and Lucy, the latter apparently being pregnant by him. Randy and the boys were schoolyard chums and, though he usually sides with Lahey against them, he also demonstrates some lingering thread of friendship toward them. Randy will sometimes seek the Boys' assistance whenever Lahey goes overboard with his antics. He almost never wears a shirt, citing that he is allergic to fabric and will get rashes. However, Randy will wear a shirt under very rare circumstances, and only when he has no choice but to wear one. One example includes the second-season episode "Never Trust a Man with No Shirt On," when Randy wears a shirt to conceal his radio while eavesdropping on the Boys to gather information on their grow-op. He also wears very tight white pants, which he removes when preparing to engage in a physical fight.

He is addicted to cheeseburgers and onion rings (thus being called "Lord of the Onion Rings") and his resulting pronounced belly is his major target for ridicule, especially from J-Roc, who will often crouch down and speak directly to Randy's belly (or "cheeseburger locker", as J-Roc puts it). In the seventh season, Randy becomes a frequent user of marijuana and goes into business with Phil Collins, operating an RV/food truck producing hamburgers, which are called "Dirty Burger"(s). In the episode "Jump The Cheeseburger", he attempts to jump an inflatable cheeseburger on his bicycle while wrapped in cardboard for protection. The jump is a failure, and Phil eventually fires Randy due to his marijuana addiction.

Randy's relationship with Lahey mirrors their work hierarchy, with Lahey calling the shots, speaking in a commanding voice, and doing what he wants, while Randy obediently conforms, following orders with a warm "Yes, Mr. Lahey". At the same time, Lahey holds deep affection for Randy, and is usually seen as sad whenever Randy breaks up with him. Similarly, Randy holds deep concern for Lahey's well-being, specifically his severe alcoholism. Randy patiently tries to bring out the best in Lahey by subtle means.

For example, with Lahey's drunk antics going out of control, Randy videotapes them with the hope of showing them to him later. Randy calls Lahey "Mr. Lahey", except on very rare occasions when he is angry with him and (rather contemptuously) calls him "James". Lahey affectionately calls him "Bo-Bandy" occasionally when he is drunk. Like Lahey, Randy drinks heavily, but he is sober more often than Lahey and acts as the voice of reason during Lahey's occasional lapses of sanity. Although he starts smoking marijuana in Season 7, Randy no longer smokes after that season.

Lucy

Lucy (played by Lucy DeCoutere) is Ricky's on-and-off again girlfriend from the first season to the tenth season. Ricky is extremely loyal to Lucy, but Lucy is promiscuous, especially when intoxicated and stoned on marijuana, but Lucy expressed a genuine desire to be a responsible parent and will go to great lengths to ensure that Trinity does not end up like her father.

Lucy and Julian had a brief relationship after high school, which Julian would rather forget (it is occasionally implied throughout the series that Julian, not Ricky, is Trinity's biological father, though this is never confirmed). Her relationship with Ricky has taken many turns throughout the series; at the end of the first season, she agrees to marry Ricky though she never seemed interested in doing so, but she breaks up with him after he's arrested during the wedding. In Season 2, Lucy starts going out with Ricky's nemesis Cyrus, but the relationship falls apart after Cyrus' meltdown from failing Grade 10. Ricky is finally able to rekindle their relationship during the fifth season.

She also tends to gravitate toward men who can do something for her, or demonstrate the ability to elevate her to a status level better than the one she has. This is why she rejects Ricky when he is down and out, but takes him back when he starts to grow dope or has any moderate amount of money.

Lucy has a boob job in the fifth season, a fact that Ricky didn't seem to notice, other than it seemed he was more than usually turned on by her and couldn't figure out why. In the later movies she began working at the local strip club, or as it is called, the "gentleman's club" where she has a fling with her boss, Sonny.

At the end of the seventh season, she gives birth to Randy's son, who was conceived during a weekend Ricky spent in jail. Although Ricky has difficulty accepting that the baby is not his, he's happy he doesn't have to pay child support, but still treats the baby as his own. In the tenth season, Randy eventually reveals that Baby Randy was put up for adoption in order to keep the baby away from the negative influences of the trailer park.

In the first episode of the eleventh season, it is revealed that Lucy has left Canada (presumably for the United States) and is working as a nanny for Tom Arnold. Ricky explains (to the camera) that, after he was almost killed near the end of the tenth season, Lucy gave him an ultimatum: stop partying completely, or she would leave. Needless to say, Ricky didn't manage to comply.

Sarah

Sarah (played by Sarah E. Dunsworth) is Lucy's best friend and roommate. She moved in with Lucy and Trinity while Ricky was in prison at the beginning of the first season. Both the actress and her character were credited as Sara during the first season.

Sarah is much more insightful and level-headed than Lucy. She and Lucy make their living running a beauty salon out of their trailer. Although she prefers to distance herself from the Boys' antics, she will often lend her assistance if she stands to gain from it.

Her relationship with Ricky is a key aspect of her character; she dates Ricky in the second season after Lucy breaks up with him. But after Ricky is arrested again, she breaks up with him and becomes increasingly disrespectful and hostile towards him.

In the fourth season, she begins dating Cory and Trevor, becoming very protective of them and trying to discourage them from working with Ricky. Near the end of the season, she announced plans to marry Cory and Trevor. However, during the fifth season, she denied being their girlfriend or lover.

She often mocks Ricky's intelligence (or lack thereof) and chastises him for mistreating Cory and Trevor.

In real life, Sarah is the daughter of John Dunsworth (a long-time series regular who played Jim Lahey).

Cory and Trevor

Cory (played by Cory Bowles) and Trevor (played by Michael Jackson) are a pair of hapless, misguided, and codependent young men whom Ricky and Julian often use as jail cover and as scapegoats for whenever their plans go awry; the younger boys are sometimes responsible for these dilemmas, due either to their own incompetence or unfortunate circumstances.

Roommates and best friends, Cory and Trevor are rarely seen apart. They have been helping the Boys since they were six years old and admire them to the point of hero-worship. Although Julian genuinely cares about their well-being and seems to be more patient with them, Ricky is the total opposite and is abusive towards them and treats them shabbily, frequently blaming them for what goes wrong - no matter who or what is actually at fault - while demanding cigarettes.

Cory is generally more socially adept and the more aggressive of the duo. He has braided hair and regularly wears a hat and a tank top, and also often has a toothpick in his mouth. By comparison, Trevor is often seen as the less intelligent person of the pair, and is frequently ridiculed for his slender appearance, particularly by Bubbles who at one point compared him to an alien. He bears the brunt of the abuse from the Boys as well. Trevor has long hair, but in Seasons 2, 3 and 6, he sports a mullet.

In Season 4, Sarah "adopts" the pair and acts as a maternal figure for the two to discourage them from hanging out with Ricky and Julian. However, Cory and Trevor continue to work for them over Sarah's objections. After spending all the money the Boys earned on a lucrative drug deal at the end of Season 4, Cory and Trevor, fearing for their safety, get a restraining order against Ricky. As punishment, they start working almost solely for Julian, who "trains" them as one would train a dog: whistling for them to come, issuing simple commands, and rewarding good "performance" with treats. Cory and Trevor help the Boys fend off an attack by Cyrus and his partners at the end of Season 5, but suffer gunshot wounds and get sent to jail along with Ricky and Julian.

When they are not helping the Boys, Cory and Trevor will either be spending time playing video games, working for J-Roc, looting vehicles, or running the local trailer-park shop with Sarah. Cory is also known to venture into rapping, but his talents are derided by the trailer park residents as inferior compared to J-Roc. A running joke for Cory and Trevor is their tendency to raise their hands hoping for a high five from the boys, who usually leave them hanging.

Bowles and Jackson left the show after the sixth season, due to their discontent about the direction of the show; their departure was explained by the announcement in Season 7 that Cory and Trevor had been committed to a mental institution and were advised to never return to Sunnyvale. Cory returns alone in the eighth season, after Trevor went missing while they were in New York City. He resumes his role as a lackey to Ricky and Julian, with trailer park resident Jacob taking Trevor's role.

Ray LaFleur

Ray LaFleur (played by Barrie Dunn) is a career truck driver and irresponsible father figure to Ricky. Although he is not Ricky's biological father, he still cared for Ricky for the majority of his life. His wife Tammy left him after Ricky was born.

At first this was explained by Lahey, claiming it was due to him fathering Ricky and having an affair with Tammy. However, after it was revealed Lahey was not in fact Ricky's father, Tammy's departure was never clarified. Regardless, this has led to a deep-seated rivalry with Lahey, and the duo will frequently go out of their way to humiliate one another.

His parental involvement with his son was lax, but their relationship is strong. Like Ricky, Ray never finished school and, as a result, is widely regarded as stupid amongst the trailer park residents; Ricky's own problems can be in part attributed to Ray. Unlike Ricky, Ray has a calm demeanor and rarely yells at other people, even when agitated. He often calls people "bud" or "buddy", even if it is someone he dislikes. He usually brushes off bad situations with phrases like "the way she goes" and "it's the way of the road".

Ray was a truck driver prior to the start of the series, but he lost his license after he crashed his truck into a post office while drunk. Since then, Ray has been on disability fraud living off workers' compensation, claiming that he suffered a crippling muscle spasm that renders him unable to walk. He spends most of the series in a wheelchair, although he often gets out of it and walks around when he is in his trailer or in the company of people he can trust. However, in Season 2 he uses a cane to walk around without arousing suspicion. Ray is eventually exposed and imprisoned in Season 5 after Lahey finds a video of him getting out of his wheelchair.

While in a wheelchair he constantly refers to himself as "the guy in the chair". From his truck-driving years he has acquired the habit of urinating in jugs, which he leaves around the trailer park. Like Lahey, Ray is an alcoholic, but is willing to go greater depths to obtain alcohol. For example, in one instance he agreed to be beaten up in exchange for liquor. At one point, Ray ripped the plumbing out of his own trailer to sell as scrap in order to get money for more alcohol.

Ray claims to be a Calvinist, although his understanding of Calvinism (and of Christianity in general) is quite limited; the main appeal of Calvinism is the concept of predestination, which he misinterprets to mean that he need not account for his irresponsible actions. Ray also often refers to the Bible in an attempt to guilt others into helping him. He is addicted to gambling, and often loses his money playing video lottery terminals.

Up until Season 5, Ray had his own trailer on a 35-year mortgage that he had finally paid off. However, it burned down after Ricky left the stove on. Ray lives in his old sleeper cabin until his eviction from Sunnyvale in Season 6, at which point he relocates with the sleeper cabin to a local dump yard. After Lahey was reinstated as a police officer at the end of Season 6, Ray was allowed to return to Sunnyvale and was given Lahey's former position of trailer park supervisor, although he was negligent of his duties. In season 7, in exchange for helping Lahey frame officers Green and Johnson for police brutality as revenge for trying to kill him, Ray has his DUI records erased and is able to resume his old job as a truck driver. However, this is short lived as Ray is arrested in Maine after trying to solicit an undercover cop while running scrap metal with Bubbles.

In Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It Ray seemingly died as the result of an explosion in the Zellers parking lot where he lived and sold hotdogs after he was kicked out of the dump, but it was later revealed that he performed a life-insurance fraud scam and is actually alive and living in a Florida dump.

Julian and Bubbles’ surnames were never spoken on-screen. Ricky's is (LaFleur), and it is revealed by Julian and Bubbles that Ray changed his last name to flower from LaFleur because he was getting grief from other truckers. This is revealed when Julian and Bubbles are looking for evidence in the hospital's records that Lahey is not Ricky's biological father (blood type). While it has not yet been confirmed at what point in his life he made this change, we can assume that it was made after Ricky was born, due to an argument in the twelfth season between Ricky and his girlfriend, Susan, where she calls him "Ricky LaFleur."
