Letterkenny

A few years ago, the humor of Napoleon Dynamite and the talking speed of Gilmore Girls hung out and played Cards Against Humanity together.

They conceived a baby and gave birth to Letterkenny.

I'm a huge Corner Gas fan and have really grown to appreciate Canadian Comedy, and while this show is not family friendly at all, I love the style of humor and how fast paced it is. It is not hard to understand, so don't believe the bad reviews. Also, I have seen a lot of comments stating it's full of Canadian slang, and while that may be, it is very easy for Americans to understand. The first episode is the worst in my opinion, so just get past that and you will be fine.

This show is really something. The mixture of brutal simplicity with some top notch tongue-in-cheek writing really sets this show apart from virtually every comedy I've seen in the last few years. The jokes are crass yet eloquent, the situations absurd yet low key.

The style is simple, yet laced with subtle wit. The hybrid of dry British comedy with a loud mouthed American twist is a rare beauty to behold.

A special recognition should definitely also go to the actors of the show. The entire cast seem to be deeply involved in the show and really give it their all with their characters, playing them with equal share satire and honesty. It makes the show all the better for having characters that are genuinely lovable and relatable.

I sincerely hope this show gets another season and world wide acclaim because it is rare to find something so fresh and original nowadays.

10/10

Yer writin a review on IMDB tha other day....

So, ya found a show with quick wit, quick words and even quicker punches. All in glorious slo-mo. Now I know whatcha might be thinking. How coulda buncha Maple junkie, schneef snortin, beer chuggin, ne'er-do-wells with nothin but time on their hands have the testicular fortitude to throw handfuls of hilarious hypothetical haymakers heartily hitting at our hearts and heads? Well, if you'll pump the brakes, and back 'er off about 10-20 there Squirrely Dan, I'd be glad to increase your brain knowings, before you get all hellbent for a Donny Brook.

As sure as God wears sandals I've only two words for this clearly Canadian conscription of classic conundrums converging conveniently in concise conversational colloquialisms.......

Hard yes.

Oh Canada.....! Once in a long while something comes along that is so creative and well writen that you cannot get enough. While the jokes are sometimes lewd and the subject matter not for all, it is perfect for me and my humor which prefers content in which I have to think and pay attention. Just when the cast suckers you in to thinking their mentality is all about sex and fighting, they hit you upside the head with wisdom and knowledge that would make most twenty-somethings quiet with confusion. This main group of four is truly about doing the right thing and keeping it old school while dealing with the crazy supporting cast that leaves you doubting the future of this planet. Keep up the great work and stay true to what has gotten you to this point, fantastic writing and an amazing cast.
