<P> Throughout the series, Ricky and Julian end up in and out of jail, with most of their schemes collapsing into failure . Later seasons adopted a cyclical formula: each season finale featured the boys' schemes succeeding, and their future looking optimistic, while the next season's premiere would show them explaining how everything had gone wrong in the interim . Fans learned to expect that seasons would somehow end with some or all of the main characters going to jail . </P> <P> Each of the characters has his or her own particular trademark mannerism or trait . Julian often takes a leadership role and devises schemes, all while holding a rum and Coke on the rocks in his hand . Ricky believes himself to be dumb, and looks to Julian for advice; his speech is often laced with malapropisms, referred to by fans as "Rickyisms", he is usually quite incompetent and is also known for his trademark sideburns . Bubbles wears spectacles which magnify his eyes to an unusual extent, drives a go - kart, lives in a shed with many cats, and gets upset when Ricky and Julian fight . Trailer park supervisor Jim Lahey is normally drunk, and nearly always shoehorns the word "shit" into his cautionary metaphors, referred to by fans as "Shitisms". His assistant and lover Randy is always shirtless unless forced to wear a shirt, and is frequently taunted for his large gut and addiction to cheeseburgers . </P> <P> There are also three pairs of primary minor characters . Cory and Trevor are hapless best friends who assist and idolize Ricky and Julian, often unaware that they will serve as scapegoats when Ricky and Julian's plans inevitably go awry . Lucy is the mother of Ricky's daughter Trinity, while Sarah moved in with Lucy after Ricky was imprisoned . J - Roc is a white aspiring rapper who genuinely thinks he is black; he is rarely seen without his friend T, who actually is black . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Character </Th> <Th> Actor </Th> <Th_colspan="11"> Seasons </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> 5 </Th> <Th> 6 </Th> <Th> 7 </Th> <Th> 8 </Th> <Th> 9 </Th> <Th> 10 </Th> <Th> 11 </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ricky LaFleur </Td> <Td> Robb Wells </Td> <Td_colspan="11"> Main </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Julian </Td> <Td> John Paul Tremblay </Td> <Td_colspan="11"> Main </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Bubbles </Td> <Td> Mike Smith </Td> <Td_colspan="11"> Main </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Jim Lahey </Td> <Td> John Dunsworth </Td> <Td_colspan="12"> Main </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Randy </Td> <Td> Patrick Roach </Td> <Td_colspan="11"> Main </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Lucy </Td> <Td> Lucy DeCoutere </Td> <Td_colspan="10"> Main </Td> <Td_colspan="11"> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Sarah </Td> <Td> Sarah E.
