Your mitt looks like the back of Kelsey Grammer's head circa Frasier '94, if the cast each autographed his bald spot with multi-coloured lipsticks.

supposedly there's to be a shoresy spinoff??
not sure how you do a show without seeing the main character's face tho
― mookieproof, Sunday, 13 June 2021 19:01 (two years ago) link
Some of the episodes where they only sit and crack puns gets a bit much, but every single one of the slow motion fight scenes are hilarious. I kinda like the back and forth with the hockey dudes and skids sometimes more than the regular gang in-front of the vegetable stand.
It is a show where I would like to see more from some of the obscure characters. I liked that they finally had Joint Boy and Tyson get more lines in them working with Stewart to get him ready to fight.
I'd obviously like to see more of Scottie, who keeps bad company with the Ginger and Boots.
I would love to see Cyrus' character from Trailer Park Boys cross over ala Richard Belzer's Munch into Letterkenny, as I think he was funny and I could see that dude building up to one of those beat downs with Cyrus in charge of some degens up to no good.

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2021 season is nominated in the ILX TV poll, with voting ending this weekend:
ILX's Best Television of 2021 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends After January 31, 2022
If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (3 minimum, 25 maximum, ranked by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

Still haven't watched it, but half my teaching days are in Listowel, the town all of this is based on. There's a golfer from there who's in the Top 10 or 20 right now.

If you do watch it, tell us how accurate its depiction of it is. I assume there's a bit of exaggeration for comedic effect, but I'd be interested to know just how much of it is exaggerated
― Punster McPunisher, Saturday, 14 May 2022 20:17 (one year ago) link
it's *wildly* exaggerated, ffs PMcP

obviously not a huge departure, but we do get a non-squinting keeso. needless to say, everyone in sudbury is v. good-looking

I found this thing earlier--the geography at least seems very accurate:
https://letterkenny.fandom.com/wiki/Letterkenny_(location)
I'll try to watch, but just being in and out--I've probably had 50-60 days there this school year--I don't really have any sense of the place. I half-wish I'd stop getting called out there so often: it's an hour's drive. A full day's okay, but I get half-days, too, and they're hardly worth it with the gas.
One line caught my eye from that wiki link: "Since the mid-2000s, various outsiders have characterized Perth County, Huron County, Oxford County, or various other locations in southwestern Ontario as the "crystal meth capital" of the province." I do encounter some strange kids up there.

yeah it actually was jarring to me at first to see Keeso's face in the first Shorsey episode, I mean obv I knew it was always him playing both parts on Letterkenny, but it's just weird to go from that gag to seeing Wayne-face without squint.
but...actually pretty intriguing, and the locker room trash talk with the coach was hilarious.
― hootenanny-soundtracking clusterfucks about milking cows (Neanderthal), Monday, 3 April 2023 14:47 (eleven months ago) link
His affect as Shoresy is different enough that I actually can almost forget it's Wayne. An advantage of character acting, and he's good at those two.

Keeso plays Shoresy with this total hound dog face, usually with a dip, needing a shave and a baseball hat on backwards. It does not really look like the same guy.
That show actually at times has a bit of a plot in an episode too.
― earlnash, Monday, 3 April 2023 18:28 (eleven months ago) link

obviously you can't service 80 characters in six shows but i'd have rather spent less time on degens and more time with actually funny characters
i guess concentrating on hicks/hockeys/skids is understandable
