Shoresy season 3 is the best season of a sports show Ive ever seen. That passion for hockey and dedication to comedy marries perfectly because of how good a writer Keeso is. My favorite part of Shoresy is that the characters dont change, because people dont really change. But they evolve. Hes still dogging on Ziig in the last episode for getting a ticket, but hes evovled it into being a closer connection while still insulting each other. When Shoresly tells Nat that hes so fucking mad at her, I teared up.
Shorsey is a masterpiece. I will admit, I was hesitant at first, fuckin loved Letterkenny, and Shorsey was one of my favorite characters, but I couldn’t imagine how an entire show would be made around a single side character. But god damnit Keeso, and everybody else involved, made it work. My absolute favorite show right now, hard to imagine any other show topping it
I have to confess that I've never seen even one minute of "Friday Night Lights", so I may be talking out of my hindquarters, but "Shoresy" transformed into simply one of THE best series about pro sports ever made. It includes all the dumb and ugly stuff, but when confronted with the end of his on-ice career, and asked what he'll miss most, he replies "the room". "The room" is the sense of team cameraderie, hope, enthusiasm, possibilities, and simply love for each other that teams can have before a game, especially an important one. And the scenes in "the room" are often the heart and soul of the show, and the segments where things get serious, in the best possible way. One has to look past the XXX-rated parrot, the slo-mo puck-bunnies in their underwear, the jabs at, and caricatures of, other provinces, and the "Newhart" steal of "the 3 Jims" (how do they always know which one's first?), to see there's a heart underneath, emerging slowly, carefully, anxiously.
@@erickliban2 Hard yes. Letterkenny and Shoresy music has ALWAYS been banging. It might be Keeso himself picking stuff out though, although I'm sure there are people below him working to get rights.
Shoresy plays with the conventions of storytelling too. It is a series of loops. Everything that happens in life is the build up to a game, after which there is a moment of quiet clarity. This structure is reinforced by the call backs and repetition of lines. Hockey is everything. All that troubles you is erased for a moment. That moment can stretch to days if you win. But win or lose, anything that happens next is just a placeholder until the following game. Even the seasons play outside the rules. They defy the ‘second act finds the characters at their lowest’ cliche. They start at the lowest point and then build and build. Even season 3, where I would argue that the opening scene in the locker room was the lowest point. Shoresy’s fate was already inevitable 2.5 seasons before his injury. The injury was the intervention that let him accept his fate. He does not score in the final game. No one last personal glory. Just coasting in to land with no clear future ahead.
Excellent comment about how peoples passions are entrancing. I used to finish work and there was a section of a radio show called movies and wine with reviewers of both. I dont even like wine but the wine reviewers were so in love and dedicated to wine i loved listening them describe wine with real passion.
How is it that with all of the swearing and insults and sex and drugs (and holy shit episode 4) Shoresy ends up being one of the most feel-good and dare I say wholesome shows?
Third commentator I've heard or read say Shoresy had 2 offers; he had three. Watch it again. (You might want to anyway; the show's compulsively rewatchable.)
Will likely watch the Bear now based on this, at least give it a chance. But for Shoresy, as a long life hockey fan, nothing touches how incredible this show is to honor the sport or how well it is written. Prediction spoiler, Keeso is going to be the new Cherry.
You know, I thought about including that. I watched Keeso in the Don Cherry movie (he was great) and at one point he even says to Nat "Keep your head up, kid." but i didn't want to get too niche in the video. But yeah, I totally agree. Can't wait to see more.
@upyouralley I'd do a video of i were you. I'm an old Canadian let me know if you want to know how important rock em sock em were for me and my brothers in the 80s were. I can point to a bunch of hockey things cherry covered I expect keeso to in the near future. I'm not going to do it but I know it's coming, especially after this season. And I'm excited for it.
Jared Keeso is so genuinely funny, I got legit mad that Shoresy only has six 20-25 minutes episodes. Lol. I watched that show before Letterkenny and didn't know the lore behind how it all came to be. Super funny shows if you enjoy dry, sh*t talking humor. ... Oliver Platt and his line: "it's dystopian butter" had me dying. Lol. I'll never understand how actors can keep a straight face when saying things like that.
Shoresy > The Bear. I've seen up to the 2nd episode of the newest season of the Bear and it's good, but holy shit, the anxiety. It is stressful to watch. I could watch all 3 seasons of Shoresy on repeat.
A great comparison of two of my favourite shows! Season 2 of The Bear had 3 of the best episodes of television I've ever watched: Honeydew, Fishes, and Forks. Last night our podcast reviewed our favourite all time episode of Shoresy, S3E4: Brooks Barrelmen. Spot-on analysis on both!
How Shorsey is nominated for an Emmy for Comedy or Keeso not nominated for anything is appalling. Anytime I need a boost of feel good I watch the last part of either episode 6 in Season 2 or 3. Also the opening of S1:4. If you can't win, don't play.
Maybe a clue into why I enjoy both shows is pointed out here and I just wasn't thinking deep enough. Good comparison, great shows. S3 of The Bear still had all the same great elements as the first 2 but to me it felt a little hollow. Very few scenes with all characters together. Little main plot movement. Frustrating to me especially was wasting what felt like huge chunks of the final episode spent on listening to real world chefs (much respect) just gab aimlessly about why they love food so much. "My favorite part is the chewing" COME ON move the plot! Still a great show and S3 had some solid character development. "Napkins" FTW. Shorsey is one of the funniest shows in recent memory for me and I can't believe how confidently Keeso and crew were able to switch gears coming off of Letterkenny(which I also love and will admit is not for everyone). I get the sense that this show will have a well planned ending in 4 maybe 5 seasons vs Letterkenny which definitely grew a bit stale by the end.
I watched shorsey before letter Kenny, which I think, made the shorsey parts (in letterkenny) even funnier to me. Love both of these shows. But shorsey killed me, I'm trying to get everyone I know to watch it.
Wait. I knew The Bear won an award, I don't follow accolades that much so didn't care to know which one, but I find it being in the comedy category funnier than* the actual show.
Giving literary analysis to Shoresy like this so funny to me because well, it's all the things you said it was. It's also an irreverent screwball comedy with characters who are virtually unintelligible.
I don’t get ‘Love’ at all from Carmy in the Bear. Him being a chef has made his life horrible and all his chef-related decisions keep making his life worse. It seems like Carmy is a chef because he hates himself, not because he loves cooking.
I do not think it‘s what he does, it‘s more how he does it that his life is worse through it. His mother showed „affection“ through food, even though he did it transactional, he associates it with love. That‘s maybe part of the reason why he loves that expression of kindness.
Dawg, are you making this just for me? Literally the two shows I am watching on repeat right now.
For reallll
Game stick? Yes chef.
@askholia here I thought it was just for *me*
Give your balls a tug cousin.

The music selection in Shoresy S3 is superb
There's also the fact that they both are master-classes in cinematography, editing, and a sound design

This was an excellent video. Enjoyed seeing the footage from the shows and listening to your sharp commentary.
Love both these shows so thank you for making the connection for me!
Glad you like it!
That Shoresy is such a fkn beauty...
Beautiful breakdown on both shows and completely spot on. "Shoresy" is Kesso's love letter to hockey and it's so pure.

You got my sub because these are my two fav shows atm.
The Jims are such beauties
When Opus (Eric Prydz) started playing in the Shoresy season 3 finale I got so teary eyed. Have watched it dozen times since. It just fit so well.
Whoever did the music for Shoresy needs a raise for that scene
@@erickliban2 Hard yes. Letterkenny and Shoresy music has ALWAYS been banging. It might be Keeso himself picking stuff out though, although I'm sure there are people below him working to get rights.
When I watched Shoresy the first time, all I could think was that it had so much more heart than Letterkenny.
I FEEL SEEN. Going to subscribe.
Shoresy is a masterpiece.
I didnt expect life lessons from the "give yer balls a tug" guy.
To be fair, “give yer balls a tug” is a great life lesson too.

Shoresy is undeniably a story about brotherhood as well.
Shoresy is the best show ever made.
Literally, name a better one.
The Wieners Circle.
@@DanSmith-j8yyes, very good,
But if you say his name fast enough it sounds like ten inchcock,
Isn’t that right Jim, Jim, Jim

I haven’t watched the Bear but it’s been marketed like a drama from day one. So nice to see someone else who’s watched Cold Open over and over.
Sums up the humor of the show perfectly. If you liked the cold open, then you've got 12 seasons of great TV to watch
DUDE! This was an awesome essay

Shoresy GOT ME INTO ice hockey. I'm going to my first game tomorrow. I have never been into a sport until now

Damn, I didn't even know they dropped a 3rd season of Shoresy. I feel like season 2 just happened.
Yeah man, Keeso cranks out content. They’ve already started shooting season 4.
@@upyouralley I’ll come back to this video after I watch it!

think about it,,, shoresy and the bear, are the sopranos of their own stories

Which show would you prefer to watch?.... huh?
Interesting choice for a video, particularly given that the third seasons of both shows were letdowns compared to how good season 2 was
I haven't seen Shoresy, but Letterkenny is just bad bro humour.
S03 bear was essentially unwatchable
Heard
That’s a little strong. I’d say it’s just not as good as the previous two seasons

Yeah, Carmy is a self-destructive little prick who takes his insecurities out on others. Syd is the protagonist of the show, fuck Carm
I do not think it‘s what he does, it‘s more how he does it that his life is worse through it. His mother showed „affection“ through food, even though he did it transactional, he associates it with love. That‘s maybe part of the reason why he loves that expression of kindness.

@@JaneNayes Looking at your yt and other info ur in ur grandmas basement and cant do anything at all, maybe just sign off kiddo.
I love Shoresy but that Letterkenny cold open was not good. It was almost a little bit funny.
Well you just proved you have no idea what real comedy is, so. Good job bud.
