What was the moment that first 'sold' Trailer Park Boys for you?

Like many fans, I remember being very put off by this show before even giving it a chance. One late night, I was staying up until 1:30 am on a Friday and I remember the final episode of Season 1 rolled around. I thought it was a real documentary at first. I reluctantly watched a bit and found myself slowly drawn to the story. Then a chuckle here and there. About 1/2 way through, I "got" the show's humour/sense of parody. I thought it was genius. But the 2 moments that killed me and made me a fan forever were:

#1. The grocery store robbery. I don't think I had ever laughed so hard in my entire life.

#2. When Bubbles brags about his "tuxedo". It broke my heart, and really me to the character and the show's ability to convey happiness as a matter of perspective.

What about you guys?

Got the first season disc from Netflix. Almost turned it off after the first episode. But I figured there's three more, what the heck. I think it was ep 2 when Julien let Ricky live in his car when suddenly there's gunfire. Ricky was outside firing his gun indiscriminately at the barking dogs that were keeping him awake. Holy hell, that was funny!

Also, I have an uncle who is a spot on "Ricky". Everything from mispronouncing words to blaming everyone except himself for all of his problems.

Careful man there's a beverage here!

Definitely everything that makes up the scene that culminates in Trinity accidentally shooting Ricky.

J-ROC: You know'm sayin'? Everybody that walk on the face of the Earth tryin' to judge the J-ROC, know'm sayin'? See wha'm sayin'? But I ain't shook, 'cause *beep* tryin' to take me out and stuff, but they can't, right? Know'm sayin'?

Tyrone: You're sayin' "know what I'm sayin'" too many times! 80 or 90 times? That's too many times! Once or twice is cool, but 80 or 90 times, man?!

J-ROC: What are you, from the Department of Know'm Sayin's? You takin' a Know'm Census? You countin' my Know'm Sayin's? We're hangin' out, right?

Tyrone: 80 or 90 times? That's too many Know'm Sayin's, know'm sayin'?

J-ROC: See wha'm sayin' you're ridin' on my jock, you know'm sayin'? I'm just tryin' to have a good time, you know'm sayin'? and you're countin' my Know'm Sayin's!

Tyrone: That's too many times. Once or twice is cool, but 80 or 90 times, know'm sayin'? No...

J-ROC: How am I supposed to be myself when you're countin' my Know'm Sayin's all the time, you know'm sayin'?

Victoria: J-ROC, I think you're saying it way too much.

J-ROC: Sayin' what?

[all three simultaneously]
Tyrone: Know'm sayin'?!
Victoria: Know'm sayin'?!
Stacey: Know'm sayin'?!

The Cyrus character in the very first episode is what made me love this show.

Ricky and Lucy's wedding in Season 1. She's smoking while walking down the aisle and and while standing on the altar. So white trash, it's truly hilarious!

The car with the missing door drew me in but the last ep of S1 w Trinity shooting Ricky in the a**, the stag party supermarket shoot out and Lucy and Ricky's wedding had me on the floor, it was so funny. Looking forward to next weekend so I can binge watch some more!
