BubbleCAN Review: Fugget About It ”Effin’ Neighbors, Eh?’

Spoilers Below

When Jimmy becomes fed up with the liquor control board of Canada, he and Uncle Cheech start making their own beer. After Cookie’s disapproval, the boys break into an abandoned neighborhood house to brew their own beer and start a clubhouse.

After running into Mike, Ricky and Kenny, three Bob and Doug McKenzie-esque hosers, McCool enlightens the McDougal boys with a dated film from the Heritage Protection Council of Canada educational film about hosers.

At first, Jimmy has a blast spending time with his new friends while playing drinking games. In fact, Jimmy spends so much time with the boys, he begins to pick up some Canadian dialect, eh.

But Jimmy eventually becomes sick of their drunken ways, and before he can do anything about it, hosers become endangered people protected by the Heritage Protection Council of Canada. At first, Jimmy doesn’t buy it, but McCool claims he’s “as serious as an Atom Egoyan film.”

Meanwhile, Theresa and Gina experience their own little taste of Canadiana – Theresa is failing PE and the only way to pass is to sign up for hockey. With much help from Gina, mainly receiving pointers on “stick handling” and secretly pumping her full of steroids, Theresa eventually becomes a hulking enforcer with a five o’clock shadow.

The most culturally significant reference is when Gina is standing behind the boards motivating her elder sibling while decked out in a trademark Don Cherry suit and tie.

Elsewhere, after a series of Wile E. Coyote attempts at getting rid of the hosers, Jimmy challenges them to a game of brewski roulette, where each player opens a bottle of beer and the first one to get sprayed by the shaken up beverage loses.

Jimmy is so dedicated to ridding the neighborhood of these hosers, he is willing to put his house on the line.

And the outcome is one of the funniest explanations viewers could ask for.

Chalked full of brilliant Canadian pop culture references, it’s sad to see there’s only one more episode remaining in this season. The team behind Fugget About It have proved they’re “here for a good time, not a long time” as this season has flown by.
