LETTERKENNY, eh?

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

it's *wildly* exaggerated, ffs PMcP

anyway the first two shoresy episodes are now oot

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.

up-country d-gens, in the parlance

Ha! Ontario-wise, I can see that being the case. I assume no other city beats us (Vancouver), though

Aaand I had to search for it and I'm already debunking/taking back what I said

Edmonton!

shoresy is hilarious

settle down

keep wondering, with each of my problems, how i'm gonna fuck this pig

turns out that it's often inappropriate

daxy and ronsy are incredible

anyway new season this sunday/monday

also shoresy is great, maybe even better than letterkenny, in that there’s something of a plot

(yah so…)

FUCKING EMBARRASSING

i don't know what happened to you dusters but fuck me do you FUCK DOG

finally started this and now hooked. mostly due to all of the slang I don't understand but is enthralling

boomtown!

Did he?

Dum Diddy do

Ready to shred the red?

Allegedly.

Great fishin' in kyu-bec!

not sure how you do a show without seeing the main character's face tho

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.

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.

yeah his voice and facial expression/demeanor are very diff.

yeah i had no issues making the jump

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.

yes its much more linear

Finale surprisingly moving

shoot the fucking puck frankie

so dumb

Finale surprisingly moving

i was pretty shook about marie-fred but yes

omg Katy's thing that she can't stand in movies is something that used to annoy me that I hadn't thought about in years. Ally Walker used to do it

I'm out of episodes :(

Time for a Trailer Park Boys rewatch?!

gail's talent show contribution is among the funniest things i've ever seen

my tattered journal isn't too far behind

needs more tanis

mookie when are we doing our ontario/quebec tour

grebt fishing in ontario/quebec

Gail is about one of the funniest characters I've ever seen.

kweebeck

fuck, can they run

I've come across A LOT of good 17th- and 18th-century Quaker names over the past 3.5 years, as I've worked on my thesis. Now that my thesis is done and submission is near, it's time to share the more than 90 wildest early Quaker names I've found (in alphabetical order): pic.twitter.com/Qj18jPELMI

If I had a request, I would love to see the character 'Cyrus' somehow cross over from Trailer Park Boys as a degen on Letterkenny.

your terms are acceptable

i made a playlist of letterkenny music:

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE1-7P1reTFhkfefnhY0rJLVGVDZX1AqJ

really good workout music!

i have had this percolating unplayed and haven't found a space and time, but i will!

good, cause you're going

whole new season of Shoresy

the best team ever

i need to get into shoresy. i don't know what i've been waiting for.

wasn't into shoresy s02e01, but i watched them all straight through yesterday and re-found the love. not too sure about 'if someone tries a lacrosse/michigan goal, i get to make them bleed all over the ice' but tbf keeso *did* play Don Cherry in a biopic

also i'm sorry but the woman wandering around the apartment in the t-shirt jfc

only seen s2e1 this season and man that opening sportstalk segment is so um—
not as good as last season’s— they always seemed obv overly broad and dumb but they flowed right. not the s2e1.

the rest of the ep was ok i guess.
