'''''Sons of Butcher''''' (2005-2006) was a Canadian animated TV show starring Sol Butcher, Ricky Butcher and Doug Borski. By day they run a butcher shop, but by night they form a rock band. At first glance this seems like a normal, everyday group right?
 
WRONG!

{{tropelist}}
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Sol and Ricky's dad Arpo Butcher treated them like crap, non-stop. He never referred to Sol as anything other than "Shithead".
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
* [[Band Toon]]
* [[Beard of Sorrow]]: Sol Butcher has one of these in the pilot episode, and it reappears several times through the series. He actually refers to it as his "Alcoholic Beard".
* [[Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti]]: Not only is Bigfoot real, but he also likes to dress up like a woman and play Jenga.
* [[Big No]]: Sol, When he is threatened with having his Engine Room Privileges revoked.
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: One episode is about Ricky suing a pig farmer for sexual assault, not by the farmer himself, but by his pigs!
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Pretty much all three of the main characters are this. The difference is simply WHAT they are cuckoo about. Sol is about the art of butchery, Ricky is about being a rock god and having sex with butt-ugly women, and Doug is about masturbation and cleaning. Of course, those are the only subjects that are constant in the series, more often then not they start going off on other subjects at the drop of a hat.
{{quote| '''Doug''': Why would you attach spinning blades to a cleaning robot?!<br />
'''Sol''': You know what Doug? I have no idea! Not one! }}
* [[Canada, Eh?]]: Steeltown is based on and is a nickname for Hamilton, Ontario, where the real life band hails from. Other southern Ontario locations shown are Peterborough and Niagara Falls. [[Toronto]] is mentioned as being one of the "nipples" in Ricky's "[[Refuge in Vulgarity|Tour of Two Boobs]]". Also on a few occasions, Ricky says "What are you talking [[Canadian Accents|aboot]]?"
Line 37 ⟶ 38:
* [[The Faceless]]: Arpo Butcher, Sol and Ricky's dad. When he is seen in flashbacks, his face is cut from the camera and only his beard can be glimpsed.
* [[Groin Attack]]: Sol falls down a fire escape and lands on the handle bars of a bicycle ''so hard'' that it caused him spit out both his testicles {{spoiler|or so he thinks. They're actually bull balls Ricky put in his coffee}}. To which he stated, "Terry? Barry?! [[Crowning Moment of Funny|I COUGHED UP MY BALLS]]!"
* ~[[Hey, It's That Voice!~]]: [[Dolemite|Rudy Ray Moore]] as Rudy the Janitor.
* [[Hurricane of Euphemisms]]: When Sol decides to find replacement balls, he asks a cook if he has any. This leads the both of them to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbPDBGwdG5U&feature=related go back and forth] with different names for them. During the credits of that same episode, the two make a list even LONGER.
* [[I Am a Humanitarian]]: The hicks that run the local slaughterhouse seem enthusiastic at the idea of "city-boy bacon".
Line 44 ⟶ 45:
* [[MacGyvering]]: One episode has Ricky and Doug making a bomb out of pig carcasses, pig excrement, a gas leak and a wick made of their own clothes. Later, they make a "Publicity Rocket 3.0" out of a corn silo, hay stacks and gasoline.
* [[Malaproper]]: Sol dishes those out non-stop.
{{quote| "This box is like a Luigi board. Dad's talking to us from hell, and I'm hearing him loud and queer!"}}
* [[Multiple Head Case]]: Ricky encounters a three headed woman at the Circus while lamenting about wanting to see the Fat Lady's boobs. The woman offers to give Ricky advice under one condition, Ricky's guess at the condition? "Four-way!"
* [[Real Life Relative]]: Strangely enough, not the brothers Sol and Ricky, but rather Ricky and Doug, played by real-life brothers Trevor and Jay Ziebarth.
Line 53 ⟶ 54:
** All these stories end up being pointless as they all end with Ricky being cured, so they end up getting the ticket anyway.
* [[Big Eater]]:
{{quote| '''Ricky''': "I better take it easy tonight, I got a gig tonight. Let's go with the fried chicken teats, the breaded steak with brown 'sorce' deep fried, extra fried bacon-wrapped meatballs extra salt ok? Double fried refried panfried fries, now does that come with the chili cheese fries? It does? Ok, extra cheese, extra chili, double deep fried. Ok, triple decker roast beef sandwich, each layer a large pizza and 'torse' it in the deep fryer would ya? Also can I get a bag of low-carb 'chipes' and a diet soda, do you deep fry that here?"}}
* [[Shout -Out]]: The band's inability to keep a drummer for more than an episode is a deliberate Shout Out to ''[[This Is Spinal Tap]]''.
* [[Status Quo Is God]]: Invoked at the end of one episode which had slight character development and Doug causing an entire cruise ship of people to die. This ends with Ricky saying, "Well, Why don't we all go back to the shop and pretend all this never happened. Like usual."
* [[Too Good for This Sinful Earth]]: Doug's baby {{spoiler|which turned out to be an exceedingly large kidney stone}}.
