Letterkenny - You went to the Kiwi Farms to vent about Lolcows the other daaaaayyyy...

[EmpireOfTheClouds]

Who else here is a huge fan of Letterkenny, the Crave/Hulu (if you're a Yank) exclusive?

For those not aware. Letterkenny is a sitcom created by and starring Canadian heartthrob Jared Keeso, a semi-autobiographical show about growing up in Listowell, Ontario, but set in the fictional town of Letterkenny, a backwoods as fuck town consisting of hicks, meth-cooking emos and jocks.

It's known for its fiery wordplay-based jokes, instant classic catchphrases and being relatable for a lot of people from Ontario. In fact, my dad is from Ontario, and he's outright told me he's surprised the show isn't basically a documentary.

Yeah, @Angel Baby Firefly recommended it once in chat so I gave it a watch. Really glad she did as I'd never heard of it. @Ponderous Pillock appreciates its too.

That's what I's appreciates about the Farms.

"starring Canadian heartthrob Jared Keeso...."

I'm obviously not a Canadian, but if that's what passes for a "heartthrob" in Canada, I'm *almost* as glad that I'm not a homosexual as I am glad that I'm not Canadian.

I can acknowledge that it's a well-written and acted show (the amount of memorization the actors for Reilly and Jonesy display honestly impresses me), I've grown to personally loathe it because of how the most annoying quips/jokes seem to be the ones I hear most often from my brother-in-law's parroting fuckin' mouth.

I find certain bits funny as hell, which makes me wish it was more of a miniseries and they didn't turn it into an actual show. The skits are great; I couldn't care less about the storyline for most of the episodes. Also I wish my brother-in-law wasn't annoying as fuck about quoting it.

I really like the first season. Love it. Watch that shit almost anytime. Has an arc, wraps it up. Solid comedy gold throughout. Only got however far into the second season as when they introduced a guy who spoke only in rapid-fire auctioneer patter before I pressed Stop and found something else to do.

I mean...

Get you a man who can do both, I guess.

Keep going. Seasons 3, 5, 6 and 8 are some of the best tele there is.

Yeah its fans can be cancer.

I'm glad that in the latest season there was a payoff for the "finger in the buttshole" bit.

Shame, as Dickskin is one of the best characters on the show. The best, of course, being Gail.

I'm not caught up yet, in season 4 right now, but it's better than other modern canadian comedy. My only real complaint is that as the show is basically broken down to rotating between the Farmers/Tweekers/Hockey, the Hockey part feels the weakest and I want to skip it after 30 seconds. I can sense they're running on fumes sometimes with the jokes when they go to the other teammates besides Reilly and Jonesy.

I'm also waiting for the other shoe to drop in terms of seemingly mandatory canadian television diversity plotlines.

I'll have to try it out again; it's not as ubiquitous in western Canada and I didn't find it very appealing the first few times I watched it.

 

[SweetDee]

That big ol' farm boy can get it tbh. yep yep yep

 

[Foxxo]

Season Two was very funny to watch, while everyone else in the frat dorm was toasted & I had Chem Review to complete.

I still don't think I'd ever watch it again, though, Season One's episode descriptions repel me.

 

[frozenrunner]

A friend showed a couple of episodes to me recently. I really enjoyed it. Not sure if I would watch every episode.

The first half of the first season took me a while io get into, but halfway through ep 3 was where it really took off for me.

I say do it. Seasons 5 and 6 especially are pretty damn fantastic. Even when the show is at its worst (Seasons 4 and 7), it's still infinitely better than a lot of "comedy".
