History Series / Letterkenny

* AmbiguouslyChristian: Or at least some form of conservative Western faith in the case of Wayne and Katy: their parents wouldn't let them celebrate their birthdays growing up, which implies that they were raised Mormon or as Jehovah's Witnesses. As adults, they seem to be apathetic towards religion in general.

** Season 11 ends on a suprisingly dark note. [[spoiler:Jivin' goes and ruins Wayne's reputation as payback for having fired him for his incompetence. While Wayne is lucky enough to have the support of his closest friends, he goes and lays an ultimatum to Jivin' and the other Degens, Jivin' suggests that he might have done more than what the [=McMurrays=], Roald and Katy let onto him. Wayne gathers up the boys and gives them the traditional NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, but at this point, the damage is done, and they decide not to go to Reilly's birthday party, The final shot of the episode is the boys sitting in complete silence in front of the produce trailer, in the dark, it becoming clear that [[AllForNothing the beatdown did absolutely nothing]] and they're falling into an old routine.]]

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: "In It To Win It" ends with the reformed Letterkenny Irish losing their bet with the Natives, Wayne and Dan drunkenly sabotaging their final cable-access call-in show, Daryl starting a brawl with the Quebec hicks over a woman who doesn't want him, and Wayne finding out his fiance Marie-Fred is cheating on him, ending season 7 on a downer as well. The only two people who make out well are Stewart and Tanis.]]
** The end of season 3: [[spoiler:Gae successfully goes home to her parents, but she and the skids are devastated to be parted. Wayne winds up getting in a fight with Bradley, Rosie's cousin, which results in them breaking up. And Katy decides to get back with the hockey players, but she only wants to be with Reilly, resulting in his and Jonesy's friendship suffering for the first part of season 4.]]
* TheDreaded: The Native hockey players. The Letterkenny team are so scared that half of them call in sick on account of not wanting to get involved, known in-universe as 'the Native flu'.
** The Ginger and Boots, on account of their reputation as ostrich fuckers.
*** ''Allegedlys''.

'''Jonesy:''' Fuck.\\

** Wayne's rigid adherence to his social mores, tendency to only express one emotion and reluctance to embrace change has a lot of fans wondering if he's on the autism spectrum.

* ShowWithinAShow: ''Miss Fire'', an antiquated sitcom about a gruff general commanding a base full of effeminate soldiers and his beleagured secretary that Uncle Eddie apparently used to watch. Most of the Hicks note the simplicity of the humor, how homophobic and generally rife with UnfortunateImplications that humor is, and how corny, repetitive, and poorly-aged the show is in general, but Wayne holds great nostalgia for the show that is mostly tied to Uncle Eddie and spends ''months'' watching it on repeat during his depressive crash at the start of Season 8.

* {{Corpsing}}: Multiple instances that make it into the final show.
** Most notable when the hockey team finds Shoresy naked in the showers and he begins trading barbs with Jonesy and Reilly; it's fairly obvious that Mark Forward is doing his damnedest not to start cracking up at the antics between the three. Andrew Herr (Jonesy) himself can't stifle a chuckle in one of his lines.
** When Noah Dyck shows up in season 8 to ask the guys with help on his farm, a conversation filled to the brim with dick jokes and double entendres, Jonathan Torrens is clearly struggling to avoid laughing. He's only partially successful.

* TheStoner: Subverted hard with Joint Boy: while he smokes an absurd amount of weed, he's the exact opposite of a typical stoner character. Season 5 reveals that he's incredibly intelligent when he's stoned, [[spoiler: but he's quickly eliminated from the Adult Spelling Bee when he runs out of joints]].

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Wayne at one point decides it's impossible for the Ginger and Boots to have fucked an ostrich, and demands they cease perpetuating the rumor because "the only way they could have fucked an ostrich would be if it were a dead ostrich". A passing Glen catches only part of the exchange and immediately begins spreading a new side of the tale: "The Ginger and Boots fucked a [[UpToEleven dead ostrich.]]"

* HeroesLoveDogs: Wayne, surprisingly, has a weakness for dogs. [[spoiler: Which Tanis exploits to get him to lift the ban on the Natives from Letterkenny]]. He shows particularl affection for Stormy, his German Shepherd [[spoiler: It's to the point in season 6 where Katy bribes him with a trip to the SPCA to play with the dogs in exchange for helping Stewart.]]

* UnusualEuphemism: The show is a big fan of it, in the very first episode Wayne and Darryl use a barrage of those to piss off Jonesy and Reilly.
-->'''Darryl''' [[ADateWithRosiePalms How many times you've pulled your horn today bud?]]
-->'''Reilly''' *visibly confused* "[[FlatWhat What?]]"
-->'''Darryl''' Oh, she's bashful.
-->'''Wayne''' Oh, come on kitten, I won't tell anyone. Ballpark, six to eight? You're a fuckin' animal.
-->'''Darryl''' Play a little five-on-one.
-->'''Wayne''' Hit the kitchen, mix a batch.
-->'''Darryl''' Feed the ducks.
-->'''Wayne''' [[OverlyLongGag Distribute some free literature]].

* OnlySaneWoman: Katy and Bonnie are most consistently the ones ClosestToEarth, with Tanis being close to them when she isn't scheming.

%%* ShesGotLegs: Katy.

-->'''Darryl''' "[[ADateWithRosiePalms How many times you've pulled your horn today bud?]]"
-->'''Reilly''' *visibly confused* "[[FlatWhat what?]]"
-->'''Darryl''' "Oh, she's bashful."
-->'''Wayne''' "Oh, come on kitten, I won't tell anyone. Ballpark, six to eight? You're a fuckin' animal."
-->'''Darryl''' "Play a little five-on-one."
-->'''Wayne''' "Hit the kitchen, mix a batch."
-->'''Darryl''' "Feed the ducks."
-->'''Wayne''' "[[OverlyLongGag Distribute some free literature]]."

* HotBlooded: Taken UpToEleven with Reilly and Jonesy's hockey coach, who is constantly [[RantInducingSlight screaming at his players]] and throwing or kicking any object that happens to be in his way.

* NoIndoorVoice: The coach of the hockey team Jonesy and Reilly are in is [[RantInducingSlight constantly pissed off and yelling]].

* RantInducingSlight: Gas may be cheap in Buffalo, New York, but fuck if they don't have All-Dressed Chips in that shithole.

In 2022, a spin-off, ''Shoresy'', premiered on Crave.

*** Halloween includes Wayne's "Let me make a call" and Dary listing the qualities of the beers they're drinking to no one's interest. There's also Bonnie [=McMurray=] stepping out of the Modean's backroom in a revealing outfit, Squirrely Dan, Daryl, and Katy saying her name and fawning over her, followed by Dan commenting on her "costume", and Bonnie saying "costume?" Afte which Wayne, completely unfazed, correctly summizes the actual reason she's wearing the outfit, before wishing her well.

In 2021, it was announced that a spin-off, ''The Shoresy Show'', [[https://www.instagram.com/p/CP8IO89nwBd/ is being made]].

* CreatorsOddball: The series is co-produced by, out of all companies, Creator/WildBrain, who specialise in producing shows for '''children'''. ''Letterkenny'' is no way aimed for that demographic due to the non-stop profanity and the heavy drug/tobacco usage.

* ShesGotLegs: Katy, often combined with WhoWearsShortShorts.

-->'''Alexander''': You should shave more'n once. We know what you're doin'.
-->'''Wayne''': How long you been at it?
-->'''Alexander''': Forty-eight fiscal hours.
-->'''Wayne''': Boy, that's more'n enough time to see a nightmare or two around here, eh?
-->'''Alexander''': Sometimes there's '''shit''' on the outside'a the torlet.

* SexGod: Stewart. Not only does he have a massive horn (it looked like a fuckin' policeman's flashlight from the 1980's hangin' there), but Gae's moaning prompts Aly and Bianca to remark that there must be, "some of that good fuckin" going on. Later they find out as he very capably pleasures them both at the same time, multiple times.
