One Last Shot

A weird precursor to Trailer Park Boys, with Wells and Tremblay testing out their comedic style and playing characters different to those which received cult status, but with similar characteristics showing through.

Two best friends spend a night out drinking together before one moves away forever, hoping to share a secret before he departs. There is an odd introduction to an iteration of Mr Lahey, who in One Last Shot is a mean pet shop owner, and boss of 'GW'. Other than backstory, though, he is the exact same character.

Shot in grainy black and white footage with familiar angles, this short film holds many similarities with their later work. The humour is far more understated, a more subdued approach which doesn't turn the characters into caricatures. Overall though, this probably wouldn't draw an audience further than TPB fans.
