As an American I have heard of the Canadian show Letterkenny. Today I am very interested to see some clips from the show for the first time ever. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Letterkenny may have ended, but it's spinoff, Shoresy, is still going strong.
It’s soooo good.
I actually liked shoresy even more!
settle down
_Shoresy moves to Sudbury, Canada, to join a senior AAA hockey team in his quest to never lose again._
I think I've missed the last two.or three seasons of it, but I very much enjoyed the earlier seasons. Also fun spotting the letterkenny folks who've been on Supernatural
This amount of swearing is pretty common in Canada. It's honestly pretty weird sometimes, hearing Americans talk, and rarely swear.
More like Aussies.
Fuckin eh right, Bud, give'r.
I grew up as the oldest kid in the 4H club, and as a result nearly never swear because there was always a little kid around to hear it, and everyone thinks I'm weird for it.
@@Sharon-bo2se we don't say c*nt, but otherwise, yeah, it's very similar from what I've seen online.
@janewaysmom you obviously have never been to the Maritimes
I think Tyler has been scarred for life 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm surprised he didn't bleep it when he was editing lol.
I think he thought canada was sweet and wholesome... lol
Nah, we're as rude and crude as Americans we just have a more polite way of being rude and crude...
Almost every episode of this show was good, it's a shame they had to end it due to scheduling problems of the cast, whose popularity from the show outgrew the show itself.
You know that "sitcom" means "situation comedy", therefore, it did say it was a comedy!
LOL... was looking for this comment.. now I don't have to explain it to Tyler. 💯👍😆😁
Ah fuck there bud. Ya beat me fuckin' to it... Fuckin' hoser. Anyways, 2-4 in the park and a fat ass joint?
Ah f*ck there bud. Ya beat me f*ckin' to it... F*ckin' hoser. Anyways, 2-4 in the park and a fat ass joint?
Same lol
Yep, just like "rom-com" means romantic comedy 😂
Poor Tyler, scarred for life by Godless Canadian humour! 😆🤣😂
In terms of the dialogue - it's funny because of how accurate it is to how rural Canadians talk. The creator of the show was from small town Ontario so it's only slightly exaggerated. I'm from the city but I live in Southern Ontario and have zero issues keeping up with them. Half the chirps in the show are a regular part of growing up here lol
Agreed. I'm in KW and love this show.
The entire show is them actually chirping each other, thank youuuuu
I've been lookin for someone to say the word. The whole show is setting up chirping on epic levels. Thank you.
Schitt's Creek is awesome, too
Great humour without being vulgar.
@@juliedebiasiothe vulgarity in Letterkenny doesn't usually seem forced if you watch the whole show. It's got some really quick and clever humour and stays pretty authentic to that, vulgar or not. Maybe a bit harsh for some likings, of course.
Totally awesome
now he HAS to do Corner Gas. its Canada's Seinfeld!!!
Didn't like Seinfeld either.
Yes, Corner Gas was absolutely funny.
trailer park boys #1
I love Corner Gas' tribute to The Beachcombers in the cold open of season 5 episode 1.
in far too many ways
Poor Tyler…innocence is all gone and scared for life after watching this.
Loll yes
Lmfao
Imagine if it was all clips of Gail
And scarred.
@@pixelrancher yes that is what I meant…scar, not scare.
Kenny vs spenny is an absolute Canadian gem. Not sure how popular it was with the rest of the country but I absolutely loved it
Some of the challenges were so nasty
Oh my god. I forgot about this. Now I am remembering the "Too Much Acid" ? Givin' Spenny where even Kenny was trying to cut off the cameras saying " Stop, just stop filming" .
@@donniehowattzer2759 so much is on TH-cam. I have been crushing it lately
LOVED Kenny vs. spenny 😝
lol .. Tyler - a sitcom IS a comedy
Fun fact letterkenny actually started as a youtube show called letterkenny problems and it was perfection
Actually...it started on Twitter as an account called Listy problems based on Jared's hometown of Listowel. Then they used material from that to create the shorts on YT instead from Letterkenny.
@@FinnssssssI thought it was Facebook?
I recommend the Trailer Park Boys as well, and for a real treat - the Beachcombers. It's a really old show (1970s to 1990s) but it exemplified the west coast life. People still go to Molly's Reach.
Molly's Reach is still for sale, I believe, if anyone wants to move to Gibson's Landing.
I can't stand Trailer Park Boys, it's funny but really hard to watch imo.
@@lorrygoth i love trailer park boys but I have to admit the older episodes didn't age that well at all.
@@lorrygoth , pretty genius making the whole show in a trailer park though, with scenes shot in a mall parking lot. Their production costs could have come out of petty cash.. and now they're all pretty well off from it. I love me a Canadian success story.
Yes trailer park boys I'm from nova scotia myself the trailer park is like 4 hours from where I live lol
The part that alot of people don't get is that Letterkenny is liked and only has like 6 episodes per season. They pack a lot into each eipisode unlike a lot of more traditional sitcoms. There is no laugh track or pause for laughter, reactions they just keep going.
The cuts I think are becuase many of the cast probably crack up when doing scenes.
I love Canadian TV shows. We don't need laugh tracks to tell us when something is funny. There are quite a few really good Canadian TV shows.
I would also recommend:
"dead like me"
"stargate atlantis"
"kim's convenience"
"corner gas" (including "corner gas: animated", though it not as funny as the original)
"the red green show" (including "the new red green show")
And remember, "Quondo Omni Flunkus Mortati" ("when all else fails play dead")
Oh fuck, welcome to Canada.
Fuckin eh rights bud 🍻
For a moment I was gonna say "forgive us for assuming that most people would know that most sitcoms were comedies" and then I remembered a coffee place here once printed on their cups "if this were any other country we'd have to remind you that this coffee is hot. good thing this is canada!"
and I thought "same energy" lol
cheers from up north!
This made me laugh. When that cup was in circulation I took a pic of it and used it for a very long time as my face book profile pic (or maybe background pic) Alot of my American friends thought it was a meme or a joke but nope, mine was from an actual cup I was served and took a pic of.
@@joykoski7111 idk if it was your cup that became the famous pic I tried to find (successfully) but I also love it
That MacDonalds hot coffee lawsuit is actually a much more awful story than you know. That the company decided to spend their money making public mockery of the poor old woman they gave 3rd degree groin burns to, spreading this "dumb lady doesn't know coffee is hot" narrative, instead of just paying her medical costs like she asked is a damned disgrace! Fortunately the story ends with her winning the case, and MacDonalds actually changing their policy to serve the coffee at a sub-boiling temperature (by the way, there were 750 more people who'd had serious burns as a result of the definitely not-standard temp they were serving the coffee at).
Usually ordinary people trod on by giant corporations don't get a happy ending. Shame the smear campaign against her is still more widely known than the real story.
@@hinoron6528 we know
Sitcom literally means "situational comedy"
When people ask what the show is about, i cannot explain the concept, except, it is soooo Canadian and incredibly written. Jared Keeso is Wayne, the main character. I believe he is also the creator. And he also plays Shorsey, the guy doing the pull ups. But you never see his face. Proudly Canadian 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Corner Gas is along the same line of humor although far less rude. A Saskatchewan small town with small town issues, like, why does the men's bathroom at a gas station get so disgusting?
Letterkenny is an adult show made for 8 year olds.
@@XopheAdethri 😂👏
I have two American friends up here from Georgia that thought corner gas was the greatest TV show ever created of all the shows that were on TV at the time they waited with bated breath every week for the show to come out. They talked about it at work you know water cooler talk bullshit. It was just hilarious to see them so it rolled by dry godless Canadian humor.😂😂😂
“I’m tricycle Hank!”
You’ve opened a door to a national treasure, enjoy this show. Every single episode had me in tears.
I can confirm this is the accent and the more of us are together the more this comes out
haha it is true! I grew up in rural ON and this accent is also not carried all across Canada. I went on a ladies camping trip in the maritime and my nickname quickly became Letterkenny because of the noted variation in our rural accent and cadence.
Watching letterkenny clips without context is wild. U gotta watch full episodes
100% watch the first episode in its entirety. This does the show little justice. Great reaction! Take care
Butter tarts are the best
especially if they are Katy's
it IS Canadian!
Tyler unknowingly driving through Letterkenny is almost as funny as the show itself
Day beers!
The town of well constructed double entendres.
Every generation of Canadians needs it own show.... Letterkenny, $chitt$ Creek, Trailer Park Boys, The Red Green Show, De Grassi...
The Red Green Show☝️👍👍
Always remember: if the women don't find you handsome at least let them find you handy, and keep your stick on the ice.
@@XopheAdethri Duct tape, the marvel of many solutions!
I identify as a kid in the hall.
@@umdesch4 Another good show!

The Canada Goose (aka "Cobra Chicken", aka "Feathered Death") is indeed a majestic creature...but don't turn your back on one. Cheers!
They are majestic beauties filled with poise and grace … and they will F up anyone who doesn’t believe that.

@@AngeloBarovierSDf*cking pheasant ! Hahahha
RIP all the canucks watching this, i was dying the whole time myself 🤣🤣🤣
Love this!! This show was filmed in my hometown, Sudbury ON!
Modean's scenes was filmed in Chemmy my grandfather's old Tavern :)
The accent is from rural Southern Ontario, it's a condensed blend of canadian Celtic, British and french influence, with a large serving of Mennonite or Amish /Pensylvannia Dutch cadence on top. The humour is sharp and brilliantly gutteral, a very Canadian way to banter... and real..🤣🍁🤣
Loved your reaction!🌟
The show had a grassroots birth outside of then normal television industry. The creators, developers and primary writers are Jared Keeso, who plays two characters; Wayne (the guy on the left) and Shorsey. The other creator is Jack Tierney, who also plays Pastor Glen. The town of Letterkenny is based on Keeso's life growing up in Listowel, Onatario. Throughout the entire run of the series, Jared Kesso continued to work with his father in their family business, The Keeso & Sons Sawmill in Listowell. Tragically, the Keeso & Sons Sawmill burned to the ground in 2018, with an estimated damage of $4 million dollars. The property has since been sold and rezoned for development by an agricultural manufacturing company.
I only have one comment... As a Canadian.. you said you either love it.. or hate it.. but Tyler.. I am Canadian.. and never ever heard another Canadian say they didn't like or hated this show. I can't speak for how Americans would receive this show.. but for us... it's brilliant humour.. and the shock value is just part of it's charm for us... or maybe Canadians don't shock easily? I don't know.. but it's soooooooo loved up here!!! 🤣🥰🍁
It's only woke people that don't like Letterkenny
This show is a perfect representation of rural Ontario living. Everyone I grew up with sounds like this.
I live in rural Ontario and the characters in this are not like people I know. Not impressed and never watched the show. Of course I'm OLD!
The town they shoot in is soooo Letterkenny...
Yup, rural Ontario, and this is what it was/is like, maybe a bit exaggerated. Too funny
Depends on the area in Ontario. Bits of it are similar to my childhood home, but others not. The religious culture in the show is completely different.
@@susieq9801 I second all of that.
You can never go wrong butter tarts.
Hate them
@@personincognito3989 😱 lol well, takes all kinds of
As long as they dont have the Satan spawn that are raisins
@@soarimg They're currants. No one puts raisins in butter tarts. Heathen.
@@soarimg was just gonna say
You definitely need to watch an entire episode from start to finish. Such a great show!
Jared is also in a Heritage minute about the hockey team going to war and two members didn’t come back and they won the first Olympic gold medal, he played the coach
He was also in the first Godzilla movie of the monsterverse movies. He was the captain for the drop troopers near the end of the movie.
He also plays Don Cherry in a CBC biopic.
Tyler might try "Shoresy" - same creator, specifically focused on hockey in Sudbury. "This guy" is Jared Keeso, the head writer and creator. They really play up that Loyalist/rural Ontario accent, and Keeso loves word-play. All the Canadians I know say "fuck" all the time.
Fuckin' right.
@@johnt8636😂
I say fuck every fourth word…yep 😂
Fuckin aces bud.
@@MamaStylesI trust you meant to say “I say fuck every fourth word, fuck.” There. I fixed it for you lol
The Mennonite, similar to Amish but use tools and vehicles, was Noah Dyck and his wife is Anita Dyck.
Basically rural Canada in a nutshell. Corner gas is classic one.
Also the first scene in this video is the first of the show.
When I was a kid I used to be so annoyed when corner gas came on. Now that I’m older holy shit what a classic
😂😂Now I have to go back and rewatch this series 😅
Bahaha, your face , Tyler!! I am dying here, not from the clips but from your reactions! And ya, the accent is pretty regional...I have lived from montreal to newfoundland, ontario and now alberta, and that accent and syntax I have not come across before.
For me, I'd rather be in Dog River. Meet me at Ruby's.
I live rurally in Ontario and when some locals get boozing the accent comes out
100%.
Schitt's Creek might be more up your alley.
The guy "on the left" is Jared Keeso the creator of the show. He plays two characters in the show. One is a farmer Wayne (brother to Katy), the other a hockey player (Shoresy), who is famous for his "chirping' - quick quips, to put fellow hockey players off balance - usually about having sex with someone's mother or sister.
The hockey player, also has his own show, (also called "Shoresy" which has a completely different tone than Letterkenny, but is equally funny (sometimes moreso). The signature of both shows is the actual affection of the characters that come through in each episode. Few sitcoms have been created with more authentic heart than LetterKenny & Shoresy.
Shoresy is a continuing series whereas Letterkenney sadly ended a few months ago.
Yes, the show is 99% dialog. It works because you grow to love each character like an old friend. As for why they talk 'that way', wells sorry, buts I don't knows what you be's talkin' about Tyler, they talks likes everybody I knows.
The true art of both shows though, is how effortessly they address Canada's unique English/French divide with honest affection. As for the vulgarity, where do you think Saturday Night Live got its "edge?". Canadian writers. Canadian's just aren't hypocritically cautious about saying the quiet parts out loud. I think that's why our comedy has always done well in the US. We just don't give much of a shit about traditional TV etiquette. We're polite not puritanical.
The town of Letterkenney doesn't exist, but the town of Listowell Ontario, on which it is based very much does. Letterkenny very much IS rural life in Canada.
Not one "that's what I's like about you" or "give ya balls a tug" in that series of clips. 😂
they're actually talking about Katy's (the main character's sister's ) butter tarts
mmmm Katycat
Tyler, you need to watch a whole episode or two to get what the show's about. Yes they curse like sailors on payday, but it's hilarious. And there are actually plots to each episode.
It's Southwestern Ontario, Anglo/Mennonite country. Lots of Germans settled there in a previous century. Places like New Berlin got renamed in WWI to Windsor, Kitchener, Waterloo, etc.
Really that's neat
As someone currently living in the sh!thoLe that is Windsor …sadly we are more Americanized versus our neighbours closer to London 😂❤
A town outside of Kirkland Lake, not to get renamed during or after WWII was Swastika.
I live in Kitchener and it used to be named Berlin many, many years ago.
Hello from a resident of Listowel, ON which is what Letterkenny is based on. Jared was born and raised here and we can pick up on a lot of the veiled references to people and situations that show up! Jared is a very gracious and humble guy who really embodies small town Canada!
Even when watching something genuinely funny... Tyler feels the need to fake laugh. I think this guy is a robot.
Trailer Park boys had snoop dog and many others in it. You need to sit down and watch it ❤
if these two shows had a crossover 🤯
I knew about Sebastian Bach, but not Snoop. Makes perfect sense though
Peter Forsberg was on an episode, so funny.
I never met anyone who did not know what the word sitcom meant. 🤣
If I remember correctly, Letterkenny started out as short webisodes on youtube. And then it got syndicated. I think of it as being one of the most canadian shows, crudeness and all. it's up there with trailer park boys.
just started the video, that summary did NOT do this show any justice 😂😂
Growing up in BC. Every person I ever met from Ontario spoke like this.
Lol true
Down the Letterkenny rabbit hole we go... 🥰
Letterkenny is based on Listowel Ontario and the area. This is the area I live in. It's hilarious right down to the Mennonites! It perfectly portrays Perth County perfectly. The writers certainly knew Milverton for sure
Milverton is what I guessed...never seen this show before...just know the area real well!!! Raised in Huron / Perth counties
And the bar in the show is almost an exact copy of the bar that used to be in town!
Love letterkenny reactions. Almost like watching it again for the first time.
It's more funny when these scenes are shown in context of the show's storylines. Great picks for music during key scenes as well.
12:45 your face is priceless my dear friend from the south! Love it
You definitely need to watch Corner Gas.
A thousand times better. And actually _watchable_ compared to Letterkenny.
You should watch "Still Standing". It is about communities in Canada that have survived after major industries or changes happen but the communities find other ways to keep the community together and in fact some survive better. The ending show Johnny Harris speak to the community in a hall. It would show how small communities really are in Canada!
I,ve suggested Still Standing to Tyler a few times. l think he will understand Canadians better if watched it
Just so you don't embarrass yourself again,
The show is described as a 'SITCOM' which is American shorthand for SITUATION COMEDY...
that's how you can tell its a comedy. Duh
I am so glad you covered this!!! Letterkenney and Shoresy (spin off) is fucking phenomenal!❤❤❤
You should check out some clips from SCTV - the TV program which grew out of the Toronto branch of the Second City improv franchise. You will see people like John Candy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Rick Moranis, and more getting their start, playing multiple characters per episode.
Tyler: "What is that accent?"
...That is an actual mid Canadian accent dialed up to 11.
I'm so excited to see this. Been wanting Tyler to watch this for ages.
Same!
"This is the first clip you pick to show?" Bro thats the first scene we see 🤣
This show was filmed in my hometown. Whenever I tell people where I’m from they bring this up
I absolutely love the fact that you take the time to learn are culture. It’s very nice to know that a US American embraces are culture and loves to learn about it.
Letterkenny is based off a real town in Southern Ontario about a 15 minutes from where I live. Listowel. Fun fact, all the characters are based off real people
This guy makes a living by making Canadians feel recognized lol!
So Canadian 🤣😂 its is her butter tarts. It’s really hard to watch the clips without the whole episode lol
"These are their problems" is a reference to the opening of every episode of Law and Order. The last line the narrator says is "These are their stories."
As another post Shoresy (Letterkenny spinoff) is all about hockey and when players insult each other or try and get at each other (someone mentioned this below) it's called chirping. Like in an NHL game: "Boys, Anderson and Crosby were chirping back and forth a lot, got Crosby bounced right outta there"...as in for the rest of the game.
I've never seen this show before this. And I've been living in Canada for most of my life. And have you seen The Trailer Park Boys? The guy who played Jim Lahey, John Dunsworth, RIP, was my drama teacher!
John Dunsworth was excellent.
@@lsj1 propane propane
I met him once after tpb took off and he seemed like a nice and genuine guy
"this is maybe the most vulgar show I've ever seen"
It is
But it's also weirdly the most wholesome and heartfelt. For real.
Tyler, Shorsy and Wayne are both played by Jered Keeso. In Letterkenny you never see his face for that reason
Letterkenny was filmed in Sudbury, and the nearby town of Capreol. Capreol is a small railroad town, and I worked there for a while after first hiring on with the railroad. They used the area regularly for filming.
For those who want to watch Letterkenny and it's spinoff Shoresy, I believe it's on Hulu in the US.
finally! I've been hoping that you would check this out. It's such a unique comedy that is purely Canadian. I actually know people like this and some of them are in my own family. It's the kind of thing that you need to watch all the way through because there is a rhythm to it.
I live in Nova Scotia Canada but never heard of this show lol
I'm in Halifax. I started watching it when it came out.
I live in AB and I have never seen this show either
It’s ok, you’re in NS.
I'm in New Brunswick. We love it here
It's on Crave.
"Sitcom" is literally in the first line of the wiki description. Takes this guy 4mins to figure it out.
This reminds me of the Seinfeld idea of a show about nothing (but with more cursing).
Letterkenny was filmed not far from my hometown … I grew up in rural Ontario and I can say this show is an accurate description of that indeed 😂
Tyler, "sitcom" means "situation comedy"
Good job redditor, you can use Google!
If he's having trouble with Katy's tarts, he'd never be able to handle The Ginger
16:54 when Tyler starts channeling his inner Canadian
This is show is just the best. I can’t recommend it enough
You have to watch complete episodes, to get the concept.
I have been waiting for this video!!! This is the best satirical representation of life in Ontario Canada. Next watch Shoresy.
It is that vulgar. The hockey stuff really gives a look at minor hockey in Canada.
Yes it’s vulgar, but you should react to the first episode. You will understand how the show flows from there.
This hour has 22 minutes is the best
Sitcom quite literally means situational comedy. To save time should you encounter it in the future, romcom means romantic comedy.
As a Canadian this is just rural Canadian humor in its purest form
Been waiting for this one 🥰
When this video showed up in my feed: Hey! Tyler is gonna watch Letterkenny! Oh no, our boy ain't ready. He's too pure for this.
The show is very accurate; my family talks like this and we are hicks from rural Ontario.
Also, there used to be a Letterkenny in Ontario southwest of Ottawa, but it's a ghost town now.
Since you do know the show Degrassi Next Generation fun fact the guy that plays the Mennonite Noah Dycks play Emma's father ( Shane McKay ) in Degrassi Next Generation and he also plays Jay Roc in Trailer Park Boys
Jonathan Torrens is a national treasure.
Just love LetterKenny!! It really depicts a rural community in Ontario!!
Sitcom stands for Situation Comedy.
When Letterkenny closed, it opened up to a new series called Shoresy which is another Canadian Comedy Series, with the same guy (Jared Keeso) playing the main character in that series, I highly recommend that you watch that series as well.
The first clip of Letterkenny, the boys were getting chirped at by Wayne (Plaid shirt) and Daryl (blue work coveralls). The term Donnybrook means scrap or fight.
