History Series / Letterkenny

** Katy, perhaps even more so than Wayne because WomenAreWiser. She comes out on top in every situation either because she's just that cool, confident, smart and sexy or because Wayne let her win in appreciation pf her.

The original videos can be found on their Website/YouTube channel [[https://www.youtube.com/user/PlayFunGamesPictures/videos here]], with promos for the television show available on Crave's channel [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFt7W5FLaZt-2iaAI-fnQgWu4cAveFEvA here]].

''Letterkenny'' is a Canadian {{Sitcom}} written by Creator/JaredKeeso and Jacob Tierney, and starring Keeso, Nate Dales, K. Trevor Wilson, and Creator/MichelleMylett. It began as a series of web videos called "Letterkenny Problems" where Keeso and Dales played a pair of [[GoodOlBoy good ol' boys]] from the small town of Letterkenny, Ontario who list off their daily problems. They later produced a few sketch videos.

In 2015, domestic streaming service Creator/{{Crave}} announced that they were developing a full sitcom from the series as their first original program. The series expands the focus to the daily lives of Letterkenny's residents including:

The new series premiered in 2016 and was met with rave reviews. A second season was announced shortly after the show premiered, and premiered Christmas Day 2016. Season 10 released on Christmas Day 2021, and season 11 premiered on Christmas Day 2022. It's been estimated that nearly one in three [=CraveTV=] users watches the show.

In 2022, a spin-off, ''Series/{{Shoresy}}'', premiered on Crave.

* AnythingThatMoves: Gail will happily fuck just about anything and anyone.

* LovableSexManiac: Gail, the bartender, seems to have a permanent girl-boner for AnythingThatMoves. The one she really wants is Wayne, but she comes on so strongly that it makes Wayne visibly uncomfortable.

** Wayne's one of the best farmers in Letterkenny ''and'' the Toughest Guy In Letterkenny, so he fits this by the town's standards. Being pretty smart is just a bonus.

* ActionGirl: Katy, Bonnie, and Tanis are all good in a fight. Betty-Anne and Mary-Anne are also tough as nails on the rink.

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=113&v=qAdTZcGeEQg Season 2 Cold Open]] takes this up to eleven. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0sq3T5fErQ Season 3 Super Cold Open]] up to twelve.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Gail has no grasp of appropriate conversation topics or personal boundaries, consistently misses social cues, is prone to angry outbursts with little provocation that are not appropriate for the situation, and has an odd, loping gait.

* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: In 'A Fuss At The Ag Hall', Stewart, Roald and Devon repeatedly stab each other with multiple Epi Pens, and while Devon notes that they're overdosing, there's no mention of any ill effects other than that they now have nothing to counter any allergic reactions they might have. Even correct usage of an Epi Pen requires the patient to see a doctor afterwards to make sure they're OK, and overdosing can be lethal. The Skids should have spent the rest of the episode in hospital.

* AscendedExtra: Jonesy and Reilly, the hockey players, only appeared in one sketch of the webseries. However, the two are involved in the show's marketing as much as Wayne and Daryl are.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Devon abruptly moves out of Stewart's basement in season 3. The other Skids wonder where he is for a couple of episodes, but never mention him again, and no explanation is given for why he left.

* WomenAreWiser: Many of the main ladies of this show are significantly CloserToEarth, with especially Katy and Bonnie being nearly at AudienceSurrogate status in their level of clarity. Averted, however, with Mrs [=McMurray=] and Gail, who are probably some of the most ludicrous characters in town.

** Jim Dickens lapsing into auctioneer speak in in appropriate moments.

* PowerWalk: The Hicks do it frequently, normally in preparation for a fight. Expect Wayne to be lighting a cigarette, Darry strutting with his hands in his pockets, and Squirrely Dan holding his overalls like a pugilist.
** Played with in the season 6 episode 'Bush Party Season', where several degens try to interrupt the Power Walk... only to be quickly beaten down by Tyson and Joint Boy.

-->'''Daryl:''' [[ADateWithRosiePalms How many times you've pulled your horn today bud?]]

** Katy gives Stewart and the Skids one in '[=VidVok=]' after they try to go viral by posting videos of them creatively doing drugs. Specifically, she points out that not only was this a ridiculously stupid and highly illegal move, it could have influenced local kids to start doing drugs as well.
* RippedFromTheHeadlines: This isn't something the show particularly leans on - a lot of the show's references lean towards retro - but there is a notable exception. Season 5 introduces Hard Right Jay (played by Creator/JayBaruchel) and his fellow protestors, clearly meant as Letterkenny's answer to the alt-right. In a particularly dark scene, when he first shows up in town, he has a [[spoiler:Tiki torch]] with him. [[spoiler: Jay and every single one of his protestors turn out to be cowards when push comes to shove: none of them even try to fight back against the combined might of Tanis and her boys, who along with Wayne, Daryl, and Dan, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown utterly and satisfyingly curb stomp them.]]]]

* {{Catchphrase}}: A few.
** "That's a Texas-sized ten-four," for Daryl.
** "You wanna take about 20% off that, eh,", "Can confirm" and "Hard no!" for Wayne.
** The hockey coach makes sure in all of his rants to point out that his boys are [[PrecisionFStrike "FUCKIN' EMBARRASSING!!!"]]
** "Wheel, snipe, celly, boys!" "Dirty fuckin' dangles, boys!" and "Ferda!" for Reilly and Jonesy.
** "Fore check, back check, paycheck," for Jonesy.
** "Give your balls a tug, titfucker!" for Shoresy.

** Wayne always throws out the last bit of beer in a bottle because he believes that "the bottom inch of a beer bottle is 50% spit."
*** Also, Wayne's odd posture that appears both rigid yet relaxed at the same time.
** Gail constantly thrusts her hips.
** Dan justs loves to adds an "s" tos the ends of words thats don'ts needs an "s".

** Just The Ginger fucked an ostrich.
-->'''Dan''': ''Allegedlys''.
*** It takes at least two guys to fuck an ostrich, though.
*** At least two. Maybe three.
*** We're hearing it was a sick ostrich.
** Dan telling Katy the things that he appreciates about her, Katy egging him on by asking "Is that what you appreciate about me?", and Wayne warning Dan to back off.
** This exchange:
--->'''Wayne''': Katy, would you put some fuckin' clothes on?\\
'''Katy''': Not my forte.\\
'''Wayne''': Unfortunate.
** The Letterkenny Irish only talk in a specific order.

** The hockey coach is seemingly unable to vent if he isn't kicking garbage bins, he even takes one along on his golfing trips so he can kick it if he gets angry. He gets strangely frustrated when [[spoiler: the Shamrockettes win the championship]] and looks at the garbage can longingly.
** If someone says "To be fair" during a discussion, everything will stop while everyone sings "To be faiiiiiiirrrrr~" for as long as 15 seconds. Once the singing stops, the discussion resumes.
** Daryl saying something horribly awkward that instantly kills the conversation.

** Riley and Jonesy giving presentations with graphics on a screen.

* VerbalTic: Mrs. [=McMurray=] can't seem to go a minute without shoehorning the word "cocksucker" into whatever she's saying.

** The Coach is undeniably being a condescending jerkass when he lectures Betty-Ann and Mary-Ann on why "women can't do everything men can do." However, he is correct in that male and female sports are seperate for a reason: male athletes ''are'' much taller, heavier, and stronger than women, and male athletes manage to injure each other all the time. These injuries would be catastrophically worse if they were competing against players who were a foot shorter and almost half their weight.

* JerkassHasAPoint: In season nine, [[spoiler:the [=BroDude=] rep hits Tanis where it hurts by getting the Eagles retroactively disqualified, thus losing their championship, on account of them having non-Native players on their team. This is seen as a dick move as the team genuinely worked hard for the win, but she had a point- even if Shoresy cheated the tests without anyone else knowing, Tanis ''did'' put a bunch of non-Native players on a team that was always meant to only have Native players.]]

* EveryoneHasStandards: Tanis never sold cigarettes to anyone below high-school age, and emphasised that she checked [=IDs=].

* YouGoGirl: Deconstructed. The Coach is resurrecting the Letterkenny Irish hockey team, and wants Betty-Ann and Mary-Ann to coach them. Not to ''play'', of course. When asked what the hell he means by that, he explains in the most condescending and mocking tone possible that male hockey players are a foot taller and 100lbs heavier than female hockey players, male results at the Olympics eclipse female results every single time, and there's a real possibility the women wouldn't just lose against men but get seriously injured or even accidentally killed. The women declare anything men can do, women can do better, and challenge the men's team to a hockey match. [[spoiler: They get completely destroyed, and have to call the game halfway through.]]

* OnlyOneName/ OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: This trope abounds in this show. It would be easier to count the characters who have full names than to specify the ones that don't.

** Stewart towards Katy for most of the first season[[labelnote:*]]At least for Wayne; Katy doesn't seem too concerned[[/labelnote]] and toward Tanis in season 3.

''Letterkenny'' is a Canadian {{Sitcom}} written by Creator/JaredKeeso and Jacob Tierney, and starring Jared Keeso and Nate Dales. It began as a series of web videos called "Letterkenny Problems" where Keeso and Dales played a pair of [[GoodOlBoy good ol' boys]] from the small town of Letterkenny, Ontario who list off their daily problems. They later produced a few sketch videos.

* The hicks Wayne (Keeso), his sister Katy (Creator/MichelleMylett), and his friends Daryl (Dales) and Squirrely Dan (K. Trevor Wilson), who try to run their farm while dealing with the usual town weirdness and helping Wayne retain his title as the Toughest Guy in Letterkenny.

* AuthorFilibuster: Wayne's speech in "Kids With Problems" basically it boils down to Wayne telling the kids that kids are spending too much time feeling pressured to live up to astronomical expectations to change the world set by social media instead of actually aspiring to truly live their lives. It puts the story to on hold and is pretty clearly a message the writer wants to impart upon the audience.

** Bradley tells the Hicks to get really, really drunk because they're off degen-deterring duty. Unfortunately, as Katy had warned him, the Hicks are ''incredibly'' annoying when they're drunk.

** Darry's second cousins' house has, "...what could only be a glory hole on the side of the goat pen."

** Mary-Anne reappears for the International Women's Day special, but Betty-Anne doesn't (Kelly [=McCormack=] had scheduling conflicts).

** Roald's pronunciation of Stewart's name as a monosyllabic squeak.

** In Letterkenny vs. Penny, the hicks are collecting pennies for charity. They come across a young woman, with a very nice chest, which she recently bought as a conversation-piece. She also has a pair of huge jugs, which her grandpa used to make moonshine in. She brings out her girls, just to say hello, and presents her puppies, which she recently resqued. She hands the hicks her cans, which is where she keeps her pennies. The guys barely know how to react to each turn of phrase.

** 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.]]
* 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'.

* EvilLaugh: The Hockey Coach shows he has a pretty pronounced one in Season 5.

* HateSink: There is no one that doesn't hate the degens from upcountry.

* LameComeback: In "Cold Open".

* MistakenForGay: Wayne spends the whole first episode in this situation after he's caught looking at Grindr.

** Played with in the season 6 episode ''Bush Party Season'', where several degens try to interrupt the Power Walk... only to be quickly beaten down by Tyson and Joint Boy.

** Shoresy is traded to a team up north in season ten.

*** Betty-Anne, Mary-Anne appear to be in a polyamorous relationship with Shoresy in Season 6.

* 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 [[TheImmodestOrgasm 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.

->There is a small town of 5000 people in midwestern Ontario called Letterkenny. It consists of hicks, skids, hockey players, and Christians.

->"It's a hard life pickin' stones and pullin' teats but sure as God's got sandals it beats fightin' dudes with treasure trails."

The above is the setup for Season 1. Season 2 and onward would continue to adjust the status quo accordingly to accomodate the change of seasons (i.e. fall, winter, etc..., as well as TV seasons), relationships, and both new and old characters. [[spoiler:The skids would be the first group to encounter a major change in the departure of Devon (Alexander De Jordy) after Season 2. The main cast has remanined largely consistent since then.]]
