SwearNet

SwearNet is a Canadian comedy film directed by Warren P. Sonoda. The film is a quasi-documentary that catches up with Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay, and Mike Smith – more commonly known as the Trailer Park Boys – after their TV series is cancelled. Their attempts to get back on TV are hindered when the CTC network dubs their new show ideas too explicit for television. With nowhere to turn, the boys decide to start their own internet channel called SwearNet, giving them the freedom to make shows that they want without censorship.

The basic idea of SwearNet is grounded in reality. As the Trailer Park Boys got more popular, they trio wanted to get more outrageous with their characters. But television executives had to rein them in, censoring much of their later material. “This is a meta-comedy,” says director Warren P. Sonoda. “The stars of this movie play themselves. It’s hard sometimes to tell when they are ‘acting’ and when they are ‘themselves’ because it sometimes merges, but they are always very, very aware of what the funny is, what the joke is or where the humour lies and they sometimes forget that they are playing characters who happen to be themselves but they have a good time doing it man.”

SwearNet is rated 18A.
