Letterkenny

Anyone a fan of this Canadian show now available on Hulu? I just binged all six seasons. Really good. Jared Keeso is amazing.

All I remember is there is some episode where they see some hipster guy waiting for something, make fun of him by naming every stereotypically gay thing they can think of and then say "oh" when he ends up having a girlfriend.

I made it through 2 seasons until I realized that they repeat the same jokes and rely on catch phrases for laughs.

Yeah, the red head lead is super hot! This is canadian rural redneck-ish inside jokes. The slang was lost on me. As an american, I didn't appreciate the humor, but there was a couple things that were funny.

But the red head? woof!

It's a crap show that has a cult following for some reason.

As a Canadian I give all Canadian shows a chance, but this felt like a really bad improv sketch that has gone on far too long.

I actually love the show. Well written and fast paced.

Keeso's first big role was as a gay teenager in one of the Don Strachey Mysteries movies. And he & several people who went on to Letterkenny were in a police procedural drama called 19-2. He showed lots of skin in that one.

It's a Canadian show that doesn't want to be a Canadian show.

by Anonymousreply 14August 27, 2019 11:16 AM

I've only seen clips, and they've all been entertaining, but I haven't had the urge to sit down and actually watch the show. It's beloved on Reddit to the annoying extent where people don't discuss the show... they just quote it incessantly, and I'm not really into that.

That being said, Jared Keeso's truly attractive, and I respect that he created a show that's taken off the way that it has. I hadn't seen that pic of him at R3 and I'm very thankful for it. Those hard buns are beautiful!

If you've seen the clips, you've seen the show. There is no story, it's just a bunch of catch phrases and references to Canadian stuff repeated over and over for 30 mins.

Letterkenny caught on quite a long time ago for some people.

The clips of the gay guys "chirping" at them from a few episodes, eventually becoming their friends, have been recirculated by gays over and over again on Twitter.

As have the various images of the butts of the leads.

There was a very satisfying episode in which they kicked the asses of an alt-right group that came to town.

I just realized this show’s DNA comes from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia with its 3 males and one sister leads, the drinking, eccentric friends and wacky “the gang” scenarios. There’s just no Frank equivalent, which begs the question where are the sibling’s parents?

I like that Jared Keeso figured out a way to show off his body (especially that ass!) through his 'Shoresy' character.

A Canadian show that is more concerned about being popular with American audiences than being entertaining. Most of the Canadians I know either don't know the show or have watched it and don't like it.

I think the show peaked and has taken a wrong turn in the last two seasons (since Hulu picked it up).

The season 5 episodes about the far-right guy coming to town, the spelling bee and the gay wedding were as brilliant as any of the best episodes of The Office, Parks and Rec or 30 Rock. Inspired weirdness and social commentary with some poetic vulgarity sprinkled in.

The last two seasons have been about 90% cheap sex jokes. The McMurrays are funny in small doses, but the OTT horny bartender Gail played by that terrible actress is not, and they built a whole episode around the Dyck family and incessantly stupid sexual double entendre that could have been written by an eighth-grader. Not to mention the multiple scenes in which the hockey players are loudly shitting.

The flaming gay priest is also terrible, and the best episodes of the series are the ones where he and Gail don't show up. Interesting, because the guy who plays the gay priest (Jacob Tierney) is the co-creator of the show and the director.

I thought the Mennonite episode was hilarious. And yes, Jared Keeso looks amazing. He realizes he has an amazing ass.

R46 is a fine example of the worthless "opinions" we see here. Liking this show is fine, I guess. But insisting on comparing it to "Schitt's Creek" because it, too, is Canadian and then announcing, against all evidence, that the latter is "underwritten" is absurd.

Pretension to intelligence is bad enough, but setting the offense as a criticism is what the truly clueless do.

Me am smart and what me say MUST mean me smart bee-cuz me says it.

At first I was annoyed by the gay jokes and then I realized that they're probably more so making fun of Canadian hick culture with that than they are gays. I don't peg Jared Kesso or any of the rest of the lot as homophobes. Regardless, it is weirdly reminiscent of It's Always Sunny but that might just be the sitcom angle.

I loved the gay wedding episode, and I like that they aren't portraying gay men in a stereotypical way. It was nice to see them show straight dudes and gay dudes getting along and being friends without any sexual feelings implied. I'm impressed that a show made by straight guys showed gay guys in such a normal light.

There's too many poop and fart jokes for me to spend the whole episode laughing, but some of the puns and wordplay are clever and funny. The weirdest part of the show to me is the music. I didn't expect these dudes to have such great taste in music. A lot of the songs included over scenes like the big fights are really great selections.
