Watched a show thee-utha-day... 'twas a funny one. The laidback lackies of Letterkenny lay low like little lazy lizards lickin' lemon lollipops. The gang gets together and gabs a good gob of gossip 'bout God's great gotta-git-ya's. And fists fly ferociously with force in fear that fickle fanatics will forget 'bout whose tough rough and buff enough. It's a good show I suppose...not one to talk down about a good show when I don't have one of m' own. Ten stars cuz I can't find a flaw in the production. Watch it if you'd like.
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

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

Recently discovered this show as it just came to the U.S. on Hulu. From the first beat of episode one I loved it. Fast paced dialogue by all of the characters in a small town in Canada. I have tried to persuade people to watch it by describing the characters as 'Kevin Smith's if Randall and Dante, etc... grew up in rural Canada instead of suburban New Jersey.' Some of the funniest dialogue I have heard in a long time. All of the cast are great and each character is uniquely odd in their own way. If you haven't given this sho a try yet, time to figure it out!
