It's a comedy about life in a small town in rural Ontario, but it could be pretty much any small town in north America where agriculture dominates the economy. It definitely maintains a strong Canadian ethos. There are 5 seasons (the most recent one is the best, IMO) but only 2 on Hulu at the moment. The others are coming. The characters, the situations they get into, and the colloquialisms are really accurate (and absolutely hilarious) to small town life. The show is really well written, and shot, and that rapid fire delivery and exchange you saw in the "steak debate" scene are pert near par for the course, eh? The show developed out of a series of shorts called "Letterkenny Problems". I'd suggest checking those out first before diving into the show.
January 28, 20196 yr just found this on Hulu...laughing my ass off. it’s Napoleon Dynamite high as fuck on benzos.
January 28, 20196 yr Guy at work told me about this. Watched season 1 last night. Pretty damn funny. Wayne's sister is hot.
January 28, 20196 yr Author Give your balls a tug, ya tit fuckers. Season 6 was excellent. The McMurray impressions Wayne and Darry were doing at the dinner table had me about pissing myself. If I had any criticism, it's that they fell back on extended musical shots with action, but no dialogue a few too many times. The show continues to be the most well-written comedy still going.

January 28, 20196 yr Long time fan fo this show. Discovered it during some random Youtube wormhole. It wasn't available in the states until mid-last year. It's fucking hilarious. I felt like season 5 got a little formulaic - the hicks have a long rant on some overly-specific random topic (getting tacos in LA), then there's a reason for a fight, fin. But S6 brought some good character development back in. Also ... "Bonnie McMurray."

Agree with your assessment on Season 5 as a whole, but it did give us the Spelling Bee episode, which might be the funniest stand alone episode of the show. Squrrely Dan berating the audience is just fantastic, as well as the skullduggery with Coach trying to rig it, and McMurray trying to get credit for words by mumbling through them. The whole storyline with Riley and Jonesy coaching the women's team, and Shoresy playing foil was good too.

The whole storyline with Riley and Jonesy coaching the women's team, and Shoresy playing foil was good too. I was 50-50 on shorsey until he was a linesman and we got to see him skate. I was fucking CRYING. "Who even skates like that?" I felt (and still feel) let down by the Gaye story arc, even into S6. So much fucking potential for redemption in Stuart, or for the low-key skids to actually become true degenerates with interesting storylines ... but she's just a minor incremental amount of mischief in S5, and weirdly festishist in S6. Lastly, 'Dary is trending downward into comic relief. I should say, only comic relief. In the early seasons, he was Wayne's foil but also his confidant and equal. Wayne was the toughest guy in Letterkenny, but 'Dary was the glue between stoic wayne and squirrely dan. Now he's just ... goofy. Like the whole "can't say breakfast" or how he clings onto Anik (which got it's start in the whole "I don't like French girls because I could never get one to date me" thing, which was in itself overly emasculating for a guy that in the first two seasons had his shit together.

I think they're working towards something with Dary. His insecurity with French girls, leading into his relationship with Anik, and being ruled by his insecurity seems to be building towards some kind of triumph for him. Dary never really had his shit together with the ladies, either. Between pining for Bonnie McMurray, and striking out a few other times, I think his goofiness seems a bit consistent. The only time he ever struck me as that confident, was in a confrontation with other guys, or when he's drunk. Regarding the skids, I'd be completely fine with them being written out of the show. They've always seemed forced, mostly pointless to the plant, and nothing at all like actual small town meth heads. Gaye is a waste of a character, IMO. It's the only corner of the show I just don't care for. Edited January 28, 20196 yr by Al_4_ISU

Best comedy I've watched in quite some time. Fucking hilarious. The scene of them playing catch while Squirrely Dan talks about "attentions being paid to your butts holes" had me about pissing myself laughing. Edited January 28, 20196 yr by lateshow

The scene of them playing catch while Squirrely Dan talks about "attentions being paid to your butts holes" had me about pissing myself laughing. Arguably one of the funniest things I've ever seen. We threw a bachelor party for a buddy back in August, and most of the guys in attendance are big fans of the show. On multiple occasions, we were repeating this scene's dialogue in bars just to watch strangers' reactions.
January 29, 20196 yr Just watched 1:28 of season 1 episode 1. Already laughed out loud multiple times. "Hold my spitter"
January 29, 20196 yr Small observation, but has anyone else that has watched all the seasons, or the majority of them, noticed that the hockey players quit dipping and Katy started covering up more?

January 31, 20196 yr First two seasons on Hulu. How are ya now?Dude. You have made a major impact on my livelihood. This is the greatest show I’ve ever seen. Every scene is quotable. I’m not sure of another show that’s even close. Every character is awesome.I’m getting a “Texas sized 10-4” shirt by the end of the week.Ninja dust!“It’s been so long since I held a pair of tits in my hands I popped a lap rocket opening up a can of tuna the other night.” That’s off-putting.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

January 31, 20196 yr You got a problem with Canada gooses and you got a problem with me. Let that one marinate.
February 7, 20196 yr About 1/2 way through season 2 thanks to this thread. No show has made me laugh this much in years. Agree about the skids though. i go up to Canada every summer to visit my wife’s family. Disappointed that no one turned me on to it up there. I can’t wait to annoy them by quoting shit they were sick of hearing a couple years ago.
February 7, 20196 yr Finished season 3. Damn solid even though a ~third of every episode is total filler. The hockey players going around on every comment is really overdone and agree on skids just being a time drain. Gayle needs to take about 50% off her character (not clothing) even though that's all her character is.

February 8, 20196 yr McMurray is my favorite I think. And wtf with Bonnie being his sister, not daughter
February 9, 20196 yr Author The hockey players crack me up. One of the most accurate parts of the show. It really is barely exaggerated.

I felt pretty sure they were going to be huge douchebags at first but ended up being pretty great guys.

February 9, 20196 yr “As a proud chicken farmer, you feel entitled and obligated to say that the chicken salad sandwich at Tim’s is a fucking joke” This made my cry laughing and I don’t know why
February 9, 20196 yr Coach talking about his wife's tits "used to knock on em in bed- knock knock... who's there?.... this boner in my underwear"
February 10, 20196 yr Figger it out! I'm going to work "hard no" into my lexicon. The open to season 2 episode 3 might be the most I've laughed at a show in years. They're throwing the baseball around when squirrelly Dan tells them about his recent date. Just brilliant all around.

February 12, 20196 yr That's a Texas-sized 10-4. My wife and I use pitter patter constantly now. The Dyck episode cracked me up.

It's actually close enough to small town lingo in the Upper Midwest that 75% of the time, it doesn't even phase people when I use it. But man, the first time I told my wife to "figger it oat", you could have killed with the glare.

Hockey player lingo is at such a pace/level that I can't accidentally pick it up, other than a little bit here and there. That part wouldn't translate at all around here - just the hicks.
February 13, 20196 yr I have no idea what "give your balls a tug ya titfucker" even means, but I laugh out loud every time I hear it in that high pitched voice.
February 14, 20196 yr I thought it was pretty funny when I said Florida State Seminal Vesicles and nobody laughed

February 14, 20196 yr After extensive research (i.e. I entered the search term on the internet) I found the following, which might explain its use on the show. Go to 3:40 https://youtu.be/D1UqOVObUg4?t=175
February 14, 20196 yr And damn Wayne gets some pieces of ass. Even Tanis has the trashy hot thing. Angie and 'Frenchy' are 1A/b with Rosie not far behind then Tanis
