The Hicks and Their Friends

    In General 

The Hicks

A group of easy-going yet hard-working farmers that run a local produce stand. The group is made up of Wayne, Wayne's sister Katy, and mutual friends Daryl and Squirrely Dan.


  • Arch-Enemies: The degens from up-country.
  • Berserk Button: Insult Canada gooses at your peril.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: They're the most consistently well-meaning and heroic group in Letterkenny, but are all skilled fighters who will brawl with anyone who annoys them without a second thought.
  • Blood Knight: All of them, even Darry, enjoy a good scrap.
  • Catchphrase: Several between them, with almost all being shared throughout the group.
    • Figger it out!
    • Pitter patter! (a shortened form of "pitter patter, let's get at 'er", which is Canadian for "git 'er done".)
    • Back to chorin'.
    • To be fair.
    • Give them a fuckin' Puppers.
  • Hidden Depths: A recurring trait. While they might look like a group of uncultured bumpkins, they're all surprisingly well-versed in a variety of topics and are far more socially progressive than first glance would suggest.
    • Played for both laughs and dramatic irony in "Hard Right Jay" - the titular Jerkass assumes Shaped Like Itself the Hicks are the natural allies of the far-right.
  • Non-Indicative Name: Despite being "Hicks" they're all rather eloquent, tolerant, and well versed on several topics.
  • Only One Name: Like most of the characters on this series, none of them have last names.
  • Only Sane Man: Out of all the factions, the hicks seem to have the most common sense and social grace.

    Wayne 

Wayne

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wayne_6.png
"Hard no."
Portrayed by: Jared Keeso

Wayne is the leader of the hicks, regarded as "the toughest guy in Letterkenny," a title he regularly backs up.


  • The Ace: Not only is he the toughest guy in Letterkenny, but he's also hard-working, dependable, and rather intelligent.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Tanis calls him 'boo'.
  • Amazon Chaser: He dated Tanis for a while.
  • Amicable Exes: With Marie-Fred, even after she cheated on him.
  • Annoying Laugh: Turns out he has one when very, very drunk.
  • Berserk Button: Played for Laughs, but Squirrely Dan's 6-year old cousin Samuel.
    Wayne: I fuckin' hate Samuel so much.
  • Big Brother Instinct: Messing with Katy is a good way to piss Wayne off.
  • Blood Knight: Relishes fighting.
  • Brutal Honesty: Wayne doesn't mince his words. And if he's gonna insult someone, he'll do it to their face.
  • Cartwright Curse: Counteracting Wayne's status as the Chick Magnet is the fact that few of his relationships work out. Angie cheated on him before the start of the series, he and Tanis decide they're Better as Friends, he and Rosie first break up due to Wayne fighting Bradley, but after making up, they later part on good terms after Rosie decides to move, and it's revealed that Marie-Fred is cheating on him in the season 7 finale.
    • And then defied: Season 8 brings Rosie back to Ontario, and then she and Wayne avert the trope, as they're happily together and going strong through the end of season 10.
  • Catchphrase: "Holy fuck", always said in an exasperated manner when something is so ridiculous that he doesn't even want to try and process it.
    • Also "Hard no!"
    • "Howrya nooow?" "Oh not-so-bad."
    • "Okay, [name], [name], okay." when about to confront an idea.
    • "Did he/she/you really?"
  • Chick Magnet: Due to his status as The Ace, Wayne has no trouble attracting female attention. He's unquestionably Letterkenny's most eligible bachelor, which isn't bad considering a majority of the town seems to be young singles.
  • Clint Squint: Constantly, to the point that you know something's up if he opens his eyes all the way.
  • Child Hater: Milder example than most, but Wayne finds children irritating and enjoys seeing them get hurt.
    Wayne: Well, there's nothing better than a fart... Except kids falling off bikes maybe, fuck, I could watch kids fall off bikes all day, I don't give a shit about your kid.
  • Combat Pragmatist: Wayne is honourable in a fight, especially when he can expect the same from his opponent - notably in his fight with Joint Boy - but he's not above a dirty move when he can't expect that, like grabbing somebody's junk or headbutting without warning.
  • Even the Guys Want Him: Glen (and Roald, once) makes advances on Wayne every now and then, but Wayne just brushes it off the same way he does with any of his female admirers.
  • Eyes Always Shut: Not always shut, but he does manage to be one of the rare live-action examples of this trope on occasion.
  • Genius Bruiser: He's big and tough as nails, but also incredibly witty and apparently a highly-skilled farmer (to the point that most of the town frequently calls him for help.)
  • Good Ol' Boy: Wayne is a classic example, except that he's a Canadian Good Ol' Boy, so he's not political and isn't at all bigoted (except against the Degens from Upcountry.)
  • Grumpy Old Man: Despite not actually being old, Wayne can be amazingly grumpy when it comes to things he has to do but doesn't like. (Case in point: the Easter special.)
  • Heartbroken Badass: In the first episode of season 1 (after Angie cheated on him), the first episode of season 4 (after breaking up with Rosie), and the first two episodes of season 8 (after Marie-Fred cheated on him).
  • Heroes Love Dogs: Constantly seen holding puppies, and seeing two three-legged dogs is what finally convinces him to lift the ban on the Natives entering Letterkenny.
  • If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...: Gives Dierks one of these speeches in season 8, regarding Katy.
  • I Know Madden Kombat: Partially, as his fighting style seems to be heavily derived from hockey-fighting.
  • Jerkass Realization: Has one of these when, after planning to sabotage Stewart's concert, he sees how much it meant to him and how hurt he was that barely anyone showed up.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's blunt and will freely insult or pummel anyone who annoys him, but he's generally a good-hearted guy who cares deeply about his friends and will go out of his way to help the town with their problems.
  • The Killjoy: When it comes to holidays, Wayne is a notorious poopy-pants who will attempt to ruin every celebration by insisting on blowing the artifice of it (like examining what the hell does green beer have to do with the actual pagan-killing Saint Patrick). He's still game about participating in them, and it mostly stops after Katy finally calls him out... so instead he whines about Daryl's Easter egg hunt because he just hates it.
  • Let's Fight Like Gentlemen: Typically views his fights this way, scheduling them in advance and helping his opponents up after they've been defeated. A few times he shakes their hands before/after a fight.
  • Made of Iron: It's extremely hard to keep him down. Even after getting sucker-punched by Tyson and briefly knocked unconscious, Wayne quickly gets up and kicks his ass.
  • Nice to the Waiter: He always tips well. When he finds out Stewart doesn't tip at all (due to mistaking a lack of tipping in Australia as a reason why he shouldn't tip in Canada), he teaches him a lesson by shooting hockey pucks at him.
  • Perpetual Frowner: It's rare to see Wayne crack a smile.
  • The Stoic: Tough as hell, doesn't complain, doesn't open up much either. Says almost everything in the same flat tone, meaning if he ever modulates his voice, something is very wrong.
  • Undying Loyalty: He absolutely loathes cheaters in relationships, especially given that he was cheated on by both Angie and Marie-Fred - as a result, he's doubly faithful to Rosie, to the point that when Marie-Fred comes back to town to ask him for help, Rosie correctly trusts Wayne's fidelity.
  • Vague Age: At the beginning of the show, Reilly and Jonesy comment that his five-year relationship with Angie has just ended, and that they were high-school sweethearts. Hypothetically, if they'd started dating in the last year of high school, the oldest Wayne could be is about 24. However, he's played by Jared Keeso, who was about 32 when the show started, and he thinks Bonnie McMurray is too young for him (she's 20), which implies that he's in his late twenties or early thirties.
  • Verbal Tic: When he's annoyed with someone, he frequently begins refuting their comments by saying "Okay, X. X, okay." Happens most often with Dary.
  • Vocal Dissonance: Has a surprisingly nasally voice for someone so well-versed in kicking ass. Downplayed when compared to Shoresy (also played by Jared Keeso.)
  • Wouldn't Hit a Girl: In season 4, one of the Natives calls Katy a skank. Wayne is completely prepared to kick ass until he finds that the person who did so is a woman, whereupon he tells Katy that he can't help her there.
  • When He Smiles: He rarely does, but when he does, he's quite handsome.

    Daryl 

Daryl

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daryl_8.png
Pitter patter, let's get at 'er.
Portrayed by: Nathan Dales

Daryl, nicknamed Dary, is a dairy farmer who has been best friends with Wayne since childhood. He is the group's resident snarker, despite seeming a bit slow on the uptake from time to time. He is generally unlucky in love. Daryl tends to be the butt of many jokes, whether it is his own doing, or simply from his appearance/comments.


  • Affectionate Nickname: His friends all call him 'Dary', pronounced like 'Dairy'.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: He's the goofiest of the Hicks and the one most likely to be a Butt-Monkey, but he's also one of the best fighters in the series. At different times, he easily takes down Sled Ted and Rat Ass, who were both contenders for the Toughest Guy In Letterkenny. He also tackles Sammy Sammich twice.
  • Big Brother Instinct: Much like Wayne, if you mess with Katy Daryl will kick. Your. Ass. According to the animated shorts, their mutual protectiveness of Katy was what made them friends, to begin with.
  • Butt-Monkey: Things aren't too easy for poor Daryl.
    Wayne: Wish you weren't so fuckin' awkward, bud.
    • It stops being funny in season 12 when he starts hanging out with degens because they don't make him feel bad about himself.
  • Catchphrase: "We oughta leave this world behind."
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Aunt Nancy said he was destined for a life of constant confusion. Nathan Dales has also remarked that he plays Daryl as though he's perpetually "lost in thought."
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He can be rather slow on the uptake at times, but he's an impressively skilled fighter.
  • Deadpan Snarker: For such a dimwit, he's very fast on the draw with quips. Aided by the fact that he almost always speaks in a deadpan tone.
  • The Ditz: Rather lacking in the brain's compartment. He still runs laps around most of the hockey players and skids, however.
  • Hidden Depths: Despite his status as The Ditz and the Butt-Monkey, he designs impossible easter egg hunts, can kick the ass of someone twice his size without any help, knows an incredible amount about various kinds of trees and stain removal, and generally has a weirdly specialized set of (useless) knowledge, probably making him some kind of savant.
  • Iconic Outfit: Often seen wearing a blue set of coveralls.
  • The Lancer: To Wayne. He's not as charismatic, tough, or quick-witted as Wayne, but can perform admirably in all areas when needed.
  • Like Brother and Sister: To Katy. He'll even reprimand Dan if he's checking her out while Wayne's away.
  • The Pig-Pen: Somewhat downplayed in that he does bathe, but he wears his barn clothes literally everywhere, and considering he works with livestock, it's not the freshest smelling jumpsuit. In Season 10, it's revealed that he also frequently eats off the floor.
  • Punny Name: Dary the dairy farmer.
  • Ship Tease: He's not at all subtle about the fact that he has a crush on Bonnie. As of the series finale, it's hinted that she reciprocates.
  • Sucks at Dancing: When he's drunk, he's a hilariously awkward dancer. Even while sober, he suffers from stage fright while dancing in the Letterkenny Talent Show...until his friends come and join him.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Yogurt. At almost every breakfast scene, Dary can be seen putting away a yogurt cup.

    Katy 

Katy

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/letterkenny_katy.jpeg
Portrayed by: Michelle Mylett

Katy is Wayne's little sister. She is confident and well-respected in Letterkenny, although in early episodes she expresses disdain for Dan and especially Daryl. She is bisexual and has quite a few partners, loves a good fight, but is also very kind and willing to stand up for people.


  • Action Girl: She's not afraid to get into a scrap right alongside the other Hicks.
  • Amicable Exes: She gets along decently well with Reilly and Jonesy after she breaks up with them, and also with Stewart, though they never got very far.
  • Dating What Daddy Hates: No daddy is around any longer but Wayne, her big brother and the closest thing to an authority figure in her life, generally hates the guys she dates.
  • Deadpan Snarker: In a different way than her brother, who typically doles out a very dry "The Reason You Suck" Speech when he does need to snark, Katy's typical mode of choice is to respond to a comment or person with a single one-liner and go on with her day.
    Wayne: Katy! Seen a Dyck or two?
  • Distracted by the Sexy: Often, but especially by Bradley and Bonnie McMurray - she gets about as single-minded when they're around as the Hockey Players can get about snipes.
  • Everyone's Baby Sister: The multiple warnings to Dierks that every guy in Letterkenny will come after him should he treat Katy badly was an undersell. When Wayne comes to MoD3an's with evidence that Dierks has been unfaithful, the whole town, men and women alike, converge to deal out vigilante justice.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Even she was horrified by the quotes from McMurray that Wayne and Daryl repeated.
  • The Face: She's almost universally adored by all of the groups, who (at least initially) can barely tolerate one another. She's dated Reilly, Jonesy, and Stewart, and seems to be the one character nobody has anything bad to say about.
  • Good Bad Girl: She Really Gets Around, but she's adored by the whole town, and the only one who ever reacts negatively to it is Wayne.
  • Groin Attack: Her Signature Move. If she has to scrap with another girl, she'll instantly go for a Clam Buster.
  • The Heart: Mess with her, and you mess with the whole town. As Dierks finds out the hard way.
  • Hidden Depths: She's the most down-to-earth of the Hicks, but she still has her moments: she's a film buff, and Wayne's perfect gift for her is a horribly obscure Korean Christmas thriller.
  • The Lad-ette: She's one of the Hicks for a reason. She loves drinking, fighting, and sex more than any of them.
  • Like Brother and Sister: To Daryl. She'll take him to the hospital just as easily as she'll punch him in the gut for going back to his cheating ex-girlfriend. While she's friendly to nearly everyone in Letterkenny, Daryl's as good as family.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Right up there with Bonnie McMurray.
    Shoresy: Who brought the fuckin' rocket, boys?
    Shoresy's buddy: Whose billet sister's a fuckin' rocket, boys?
  • Not So Above It All: She has her moments. She regularly participates in the word games, catchphrases, and often idiotic debates, and she does not even try to hide her great amusement at McMurray's "ambush" on Crack N Ag.
  • Only Sane Woman: She often finds herself getting irritated by Wayne, Daryl, and Squirrely Dan's more childish and drunken antics, and semi-regularly calls them out on it.
  • Phrase Catcher: Whenever she brings the boys beers or does anything else nice for them, Squirrelly Dan will tell her such action is "What I always appreciates about ya's." She usually replies "Oh, is that what you appreciate about me?"
    • And when Wayne invariably asks her to Please Put Some Clothes On, the following exchange ensues.
      Katy: Not my forte.
      Wayne: Unfortunate.
  • Really Gets Around: And is rarely slut-shamed for it, despite her brother never approving of her dates.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: Wayne is the quiet, dominant, introverted sibling while Katy is the more friendly, relaxed, outgoing sibling.
  • Signature Move: Always, ALWAYS, goes for the Groin Attack.

    Squirrely Dan 

Squirrely Dan

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/letterkenny_squirrely_dan_2.jpeg
Portrayed by: K. Trevor Wilson

"Squirrelly" Dan is the hicks' storyteller with a tendency to append "S" to singular words as his trademark, e.g. "That's what I appreciates about yous, Ms. Katys." He is slightly more open sexually, which unnerves Wayne and Daryl. He was formerly a drug-addicted skid, and he thinned down as a result.


  • Abhorrent Admirer: Zig-zagged. Katy clearly does not see him in a romantic light, but is also not outright disgusted by him. Dan makes multiple advances, but never oversteps the bounds of decency.
  • All-Loving Hero: Unlike the more confrontational Wayne, Katy, and Daryl, Dan usually is more reluctant to start a fight and usually has kind words to say about everyone. If someone else starts the fight, though, all bets are off.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: He’s a great big softy and a total sweetheart who is passionate about his women’s studies class. That doesn’t stop him from being willing and able to kick your ass if need be.
  • Big Beautiful Man: He's a big man, but he generally has fairly decent luck with women (aside from Katy) and has been noted to be attractive several times.
  • Big Fun: A heavyset farmer who enjoys partying, drinking, and casually chatting with his friends.
  • Chivalrous Pervert: He doesn't hide his attraction to Katy or Bonnie McMurray and is fairly open about his sex life. However, he is also very respectful of women's boundaries and is the most visibly disgusted of the Hicks (more so than Katy and Marie-Fred) when Wayne and Dary demonstrate what exactly McMurray says while drunk.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Not touched on much, but it's no secret that he used to be a hardcore drug addict.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Not usually, but during the argument on how best to cook a steak, Dan explains that any great chef will tell you that you don't grill the steak, but rather pan-sear it on both sides and then finish it in the oven. When Wayne and Daryl accuse him of over-handling, Dan responds with a derisory, "Yeah, me and Gordon Ramsay are both morons".
  • Fat Best Friend: Dan is a large fellow who's very close with Katy, Wayne, and Daryl, and is virtually family to them.
  • Gasshole: Can fart on command, an often-utilized skill.
  • Gentle Giant: He's a very big man with a mean punch and a powerful voice, and he's also the sweetest guy on the show.
  • Hidden Depths: Has an encyclopedic knowledge of popular culture and takes women's studies at the local community college. He also keeps a flower garden as a hobby.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's a bit sleazy and obnoxious at first glance, but beneath all that he's one of the most genuinely kind-hearted characters in the series.
  • Mighty Glacier: His weight slows him down, as it's shown he can't run very fast or very far and makes 'dad noises' whenever he has to get up or sit down, but the man hits like a goddamn truck.
  • Rough Overalls: Squirelly Dan, a farmer, is always wearing his denim overalls.
  • Signature Headgear: Rarely seen without his red and white trucker hat.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Nobody seems to know whether it's 'Squirrelly' or 'Squirrely'.
  • Stout Strength: He’s a big man but is easily one of the biggest physical threats in the show, seen by how easily he hands people their asses in a brawl. He might be slow, but he can easily body a hit and dish out a harder one.
  • Teacher's Pet: He practically worships the ground Professor Tricia walks on.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Montreal steak spice.
  • Verbal Tic: He often adds a plurals "s" to words that don'ts actually needs its.
    • Lamp Shaded in "Sled Shack" when he gets incredibly bothered by Wayne and Dary doing this to words like "Sushi" and "Sashimi".
  • Unskilled, but Strong: Unlike many of the other characters who have some finesse to how they fight, Dan's main method is to just charge in like a bulldozer and use his size advantage to flatten whoever it is he's up against.

    Rosie 

Rosie

Portrayed by: Clark Backo

Gail's cousin, with who Wayne ends up in an on-and-off relationship.


  • Birds of a Feather: With Wayne. They share a similar sense of humour, love dogs and have a similar attitude towards life.
  • Brainy Brunette
  • Bookworm: Most of the trouble in her love life comes from the fact that she'd rather stay in and read than go to most parties, which most prospective partners don't trust as an excuse. The fact Wayne immediately accepts and rolls with it is a big reason why they click so well.
  • Eating the Eye Candy: With Wayne after she comes back from Vancouver and after he encourages her to open up a bit.
  • Heroes Love Dogs: She and Wayne meet and bond over their shared love of dogs, and it helps reinforce her status as one of the sweetest people in the show.
  • Put on a Bus: Leaves for Vancouver to work in a pitbull rescue shelter near the end of season 5, which means she and Wayne amicably break things off.
  • Sixth Ranger: When she comes back from Vancouver, she essentially becomes a fifth member of the core Hicks.
  • Walking the Earth: Why she and Wayne ultimately break up in the penultimate episode of the series - she knows that he loves Letterkenny and is at home there, but she isn't and needs to be in new places and experience new things.

    The McMurrays 

McMurray and Mrs. McMurray

A couple who own a farm in Letterkenny.
  • Berserk Button: Like the Hicks, insulting or harming Canadian geese in any way is a surefire way to piss them off.
    • Do not disrespect Mrs. McMurray in McMurray's vicinity.
    • Mc Murray fucking hates degens, which causes some conflict when Wayne asks for his help getting Darry out of there.
  • Can't Hold His Liquor: They are both notorious for drunkenly regaling others with graphic accounts of their yearly vacations and the sexual conquests that occur on those trips. They're so wantonly inappropriate and overshare so much when they're drunk that even Gail seems to be uncomfortable around them.
    Daryl: Yeah, he says things that are, umm...
    Katy: Spit it out.
    Marie-Fred: Shoot.
    Squirrely Dan: Just the worst fuckin' things you've ever heards in your entire lives, this I promise ya's.
  • Emasculated Cuckold: Invoked by McMurray; he heavily implies that he gets off to the idea of another man sleeping with his wife and emasculating him. To that end, he actively tries to convince others to sleep with his wife.
  • Ethical Slut: Mrs. McMurray may love her husband as much as he loves her, but she is just as eager as her husband is to get as much mileage out of their open relationship as possible.
  • Extreme Omnisexual: The two are wantonly sexual, and the Hicks eventually learn that they are swingers (aside from Squirrely Dan, who misinterprets Wayne's increasingly obvious hints when he tries to discreetly drop the truth).
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: The Hicks respect McMurray as a farmer and member of the community, but barely tolerate him as a person on a good day, and Katy doesn't even tolerate him and makes no attempt to hide her disdain for him; as the call-ins on Crack N Ag demonstrate, likely, this sentiment is not limited to them by any means. Mrs. McMurray is somewhat more well-liked, but her inappropriate antics with her husband, habitual drunkenness, and all-around coarseness clearly grate on people as well. When they're drunk, people generally don't even bother hiding their disdain for them, as their tendency to be incredibly inappropriate and subject anyone in their vicinity to extremely explicit and graphic rundowns of their sexual proclivities is infamous all throughout the town.
  • The Gadfly: Later seasons suggest that the Mc Murray's inappropriate behavior is intentional, and they're a bit put off when Gail's unfazed by their graphic retellings of their sexual exploits.
  • Good Ol' Boy: McMurray may have a nasty habit of going into incredibly graphic detail about his sexual conquests while drunk, but at the end of the day, he's an all-around good-natured guy who loves his town and his country and wants what's best for Letterkenny's farming community.
  • Happily Married: While the two are in an open marriage, there's no doubt that they're very happy together and are each others' top priority.
  • Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Mrs. McMurray loves her cocksuckin' G&T's almost as much as she loves her husband, and it's extremely rare to see her completely sober.
  • Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: McMurray goes into this mode the second anyone mentions that they're gay.
  • Hidden Depths: McMurray loves puzzles, and is very good at them. He's also Wayne's go-to man for help with haggling on a new vehicle.
  • Informed Flaw: Despite being referred to as a "piece of shit," McMurray isn't particularly horrible beyond being very crass and lewd, and is generally well-meaning.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Mc Murray can be downright intolerable at times with his crass behavior and total lack of social awareness, but he's a true friend through and through. Even when he's hesitant about saving Darry from the degens, he still shows up and brawls just as hard as the rest of them.
  • Kavorka Man: He's not particularly attractive, but McMurray has no trouble scoring big with "tasties".
  • The Lad-ette: Mrs. McMurray is every bit as coarse, foul-mouthed, and relentlessly sexual as her husband, and is also a heavy drinker.
  • Lady Swears-a-Lot: Mrs. McMurray uses cocksucker the way some people use punctuation.
  • Limited Wardrobe: McMurray and his alarmingly tight white t-shirts. He... doesn't really have the physique to pull them off.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Mrs. McMurray, just like her sister-in-law.
    Caller: Your wife is blow-my-brains-out hot, McMurray! I would literally cut off my own arm to fuck her! I would 127 Hours both my arms to fuck your wife!
  • No Name Given: We never find out what the first name of either one is.
  • Phrase Catcher: "McMurray's a piece of shit."
  • Polyamory: They are both swingers, and both of them get a lot of mileage out of the deal.
  • The Pornomancer: If McMurray's drunken retellings of his boys' trips are any indication, this is the level he is at. It later becomes clear that his wife is on the exact same level.
  • Really Gets Around: McMurray will gleefully talk your ear off about all the "tasties" he's fucked.
    Wayne: (imitating McMurray) Wayne, how would you's like to talk about cunt?
    Daryl: (also imitating McMurray) Nnhey Darry, 'r you'n ass man, a tits man, 'r a cunt man?
  • Running Gag: Several:
    • McMurray finds himself talking at the same time as Wayne.
    • McMurray gets wasted and begins to tell a story about one of his boys' trips that starts with "Hard Rock, rooftop, poolside villas" and typically involves an obscene hashtag that he and his friends came up with for that trip.
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Often crosses over into this, from the way Mc Murray immediately calls for a second election when the other members vote Wayne on as president of the Ag Hall, his attempts to upstage Wayne on "Crack N Ag" and his attempts to appeal to "influenzas" in competition with Katy.
  • Teeny Weenie: 4.15 inches, add an inch if he's measuring the way that he heard about on the Howard Stern Show. Quite a few of the callers on Crack N Ag (and Katy, for that matter) jeer at him mercilessly for it.
    Caller: I fucked McMurray at a buck-and-doe in Drayton, and four inches is a criminal embellishment.
    McMurray: ...Patti?
    Caller: McMurray, if you were ten off the tee, I still wouldn't golf with you. Fuckin' end it.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Mrs. McMurray sure does love a cocksuckin' gin-and-tonic, that's all she knows.
  • Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: McMurray himself isn't a looker by any means, but his wife most certainly is. Lampshaded heavily in-universe in the Crack N Ag "ambush", when most of the callers taunt him about how hot his wife is and/or how much they want to fuck her, and how low she stooped by marrying him.
    Caller: Yeah, I've got a question about husbandry.
    McMurray: You've come to the right place. We raise animals for meat, milk, eggs-
    Caller: [interrupting McMurray] No, no no no no no, I meant you as a husband. Why the fuck would Mrs. McMurray marry a piece of shit like you? She's an eleven outta ten, but that decision downgrades her to an even dime.
  • The Unintelligible: Between his thick Canadian accent, gravelly voice, and tendency to speak in a "lockjaw" fashion, McMurray is almost impossible to understand. Mrs. McMurray is only marginally easier to understand for all the same reasons, plus her habitual drunken slurring.
  • Urine Trouble: McMurray, with a "tasty" of the Australian variety.
    McMurray: You may not know this, but down there they likes you to piss on 'em.
  • Verbal Tic: Mrs. McMurray habitually ends sentences with "that's all I know".

The Hockey Players and Their Friends

    Reilly and Jonesy 

Reilly and Jonesy

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jonesyandreilly_4.jpg
"Let's get these Ws, boys!
Portrayed by: Dylan Playfair and Andrew Herr

The brain of one Dumb Jock split between two bodies. They play for the local hockey team, the Letterkenny Shamrocks (later the Irish). They are in an on-off poly relationship with Katy.


  • Brainless Beauty: They're both handsome, but they're about as sharp as a sphere.
  • Catchphrase: "Wheels, snipe, celly, boys", "dirty fuckin' dangles, boys", "ferda", and "forecheck, backcheck, paycheque, boys".
  • Character Development: They start as confrontational cowards - their introduction has them trying to provoke an apathetic Wayne and back down once he reestablishes him as the Toughest Guy in Letterkenny - and lazy poseurs who only play hockey for the cred. By the end of season 5, they become friends with the Hicks and the Skids, very good hockey players, and even show competence at coaching, helping the Letterkenny Shamrockettes to the championship after an unprecedented win streak.
  • Chivalrous Pervert: They love taking down snipes, and they shoot their shot at practically any woman who looks their way, but when it comes to coaching the Shamrockettes, they keep it completely professional. They also have little patience for Stay in the Kitchen attitudes, and when a girl turns down their advances, they don't keep going.
  • The Ditz: Not the sharpest skates in the rink. It also gets them into trouble outside of the rink, as the BroDude representative grows irritated with their antics almost immediately and makes it clear that she would rather be doing anything other than babysitting them, and once Anik comes along, she makes no attempt to hide her glee at getting to fire them.
  • The Dividual: Think about how many times the two have appeared separately on camera. Yeah. They're one person. Hell, they even entered the Letterkenny Adult Spelling Bee as a single contestant rather than 2 separate people.
  • Dumb Jock: Both of them, together, almost equal the intelligence of a single human. Subverted later on when they reveal themselves to not be Book Dumb and actually quite competent at hockey and gym-related matters if they put in some focus.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Despite being obnoxious, they don't approve of racism, sexism, gay-bashing, or other politically incorrect behaviour.
  • Fratbro: They act as close to this trope as humanly possible without actually being in a fraternity.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: Play together, date the same woman for several seasons, and freely discuss their feelings. This leads to quite a bit of Ho Yay.
  • Hidden Depths: The two occasionally show flashes of intelligence beyond hockey and sex, such as sometimes being able to speak on literature and music on an equal level with the much more intelligent Hicks.
    • They are pretty good at math - when mistakingly hooked on Ritalin instead of steroids, they develop a complex equation to figure out the most efficient training regimen to minimize the risk of steroid abuse.
    • Despite being meatheads, they are surprisingly woke. They frequently remark when something "isn't very PC" and make sure to use inclusive language. They are also quite comfortable with their bodies and sexuality, even if they're clueless about it half the time. While initially, they seem to be hurt by Dax and Ron's constant chirping, it turns out they were distracted by their separation and weren't bothered by it at the slightest - in fact, they think it some top tier chirping and admit it would be more alarming if they weren't getting chirps from gay guys, considering how they look.
      • They also don't shy away from chances to educate themselves, if Jonesy's discussion with Roald on homosexuality is any indicator.
  • Ho Yay: Too many examples to list.
    Shoresy: Fuck, you could cut the sexual tension over there with a knife. Give your balls a tug, titfucker!
  • Hypocrite: They and Katy break up between seasons 1 and 2 because she cheated on them, and they give her shit about it all through season 2, even after she continually points out that they were cheating on her through the entire relationship.
  • Jerk Jock: In the beginning of the series before they're humbled by the much nastier Shoresy and get nicer.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: As obnoxious as they may be, they're generally well-meaning, and they do seem to genuinely care about Katy. In later seasons they even get along decently well with the Hicks whenever they all hang out. They even hang out with the Skids from time to time.
  • Lovable Jock: They evolve into this in later seasons.
  • Mr. Fanservice: Not only are the two played by the handsome Andrew Herr and Dylan Playfair, but they get some various scenes where they show off their impressive physiques, including an episode where they're flexing their bare glutes repeatedly.
  • Odd Friendship: In later seasons, they frequently hang out with the Skids.
  • Phrase Catcher: "Give your balls a tug, titfucker!" courtesy of Shoresy, who also ends many of his chirps towards them with "you fuckin' loser" or "you piece of shit".
  • Potty Emergency: Turns out that chugging a meal replacement shake loaded with stimulants is a surefire recipe for gastrointestinal distress.
    Reilly: Only thing about shreddin' the red's a few more trips to the shitshed, boys.
    Jonesy: Few more trips to brown-town, buddy.
  • Really Gets Around: Both of them, much to Katy's annoyance.
  • Those Two Guys: Almost inseparable.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Start off out of their depth in senior hockey, but gradually find their footing and end up bringing home a national senior hockey championship by season 8.
  • Tooka Level In Kindness: Downplayed, but in later seasons they're notably less obnoxious and a little more mature.
  • Trash Talk: They valiantly try to educate the senior hockey team in the art of chirping the other team, while Shoresy regularly regales them with his own brand of chirping.
  • The Unintelligible: Their fast speech patterns and gratuitous overuse of hockey and gym slang often makes them verge on this.
  • Verbal Tic: They regularly end sentences with "boys" or "buddy".
  • Wrestler in All of Us: Jonesy Stone Cold Stunners a degen during a donnybrook.

    The Senior Hockey Team 

Barts, Yorkie, Shultzy, Fisky, and Boomtown

Portrayed by:
Senior players for the Letterkenny Irish. Have a peculiar speaking style.
  • Berserk Button: Never belittle Leg Day!
  • Broken Ace: The lot of them starting from season 3: they're out of shape and their wives left all of them off-screen. They are in such a pathetic state that Jonesy and Reilly are paragons of skill and dedication in comparison.
  • Cloud Cuckoolander: Boomtown is very odd. While the rest of the team recover their bravado after a full season of getting coached by Jonesy and Reilly, Boomtown is never quite the same.
  • Lovable Jock: Not initially. Later on, the whole group qualifies as this after they get humbled.
  • Quirky Miniboss Squad: They definitely have this dynamic.
  • Verbal Tic: They tend to respond as a unit, in the following order:
    • Barts: X, you little bitch. Yorkie?
    • Yorkie: X. Shultzy?
    • Shultzy: X, pussy. Fisky.
    • Fisky: X. Boomtown!
    • Boomtown: I love X like I love my wife.

    Coach 

Coach

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/coach_6.jpg
"It's FUCKIN EMBARRASSING!"
Portrayed by: Mark Forward

The Letterkenny Irish's perpetually-angry coach.


  • Actually Pretty Funny: A variant. The team spends season 3 trying to get at least one win during a disastrous series, and they ultimately don't get one because the last game of the season is called a draw due to a brawl. However, the Letterkenny Irish kicked the absolute ever-loving shit out of the opposing team (and in defence of Katy's honour to boot) and finally came together, which makes even Coach proud.
  • Can't Hold His Liquor: Goes into graphic detail about his sexual escapades with Barbara when she was alive while drunk.
  • Catchphrase: "FUCKIN' EMBARRASSING!" to the point his golf caddie carries a sign that just reads "Embarrassing." He also enjoys calling the players 'pheasants'.
    • In season ten, almost every line he says is about how much he's been going to the gym.
  • Character Tics: ALWAYS kicking trashcans. At one point he even brings a trash can to a golf course just to kick it since there wouldn't normally be one around.
  • Everyone Has Standards: He may be constantly screaming and insulting his players, but he wouldn't dare interrupt a players-only meeting.
  • Formerly Fat: Because he's been going to the gym before and during Season 10. Obviously, this trope applies because of Mark Forward's impressive real-world weight loss.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: Notorious for flipping his shit on his players at the drop of a hat.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: He was absolutely, unquestionably correct to berate Jonesy and Reilly for fucking around, not taking the team seriously, and caring more about the hockey lifestyle than the game itself.
  • Let's Get Dangerous!: While most of his scenes consist of him flipping out but not getting physical, the finale of the series shows him involved in a massive brawl against the Degens, one in which he performs admirably well.
  • The Lost Lenore: His wife Barbara, who died sometime before the start of the series. It is heavily hinted that this plays a large role in his short temper and poor self-control.
  • No Indoor Voice: Necessary in his line of work to get across just how FUCKIN' EMBARASSING his players can be.
  • Suddenly Shouting: He can go from a whisper to full-on screaming in the span of a sentence.
  • Talking to the Dead: In "Letterkenny vs Penny", he calls out to his dead wife, Barbara.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: While he's still a temperamental dude, later seasons show him being friendly to the Hicks and even Reilly and Jonesy, to the point that he even shows up in the grand finale to help Dary escape from the Degens.

    Shoresy 

Shoresy

Portrayed by: Jared Keeso

The obnoxious asshole who lives to antagonize Jonesy and Reilly.


  • Berserk Button: Do not disrespect Wayne Gretzky or anyone related to him in his presence.
    Shoresy: Ariana Grande looks like she's eight, titfucker. I'm givin' the preschool your plate number.
    Jonesy, Reilly, Dax, and Ron: Shoresy!?
    Shoresy: And Gretz's daughter's a married woman, you classless piece of shit, she wouldn't fuck you if you had Mario's dangles and Messier's dick.
    • He also hates Canadian separatists.
      Two of my top five all-time blowies came from Newfie broads, but if I have to listen to you two separatist sympathizers for one more second, I'll shoot myself in the face.
  • Breakout Character: By and large the most popular character to come out of the Letterkenny franchise by a wide margin, to the point that a significant amount of merchandise (and eventually the spin-off) focus on him and his antics.
  • Bunny-Ears Lawyer: As crass as he may be, he's a very talented hockey player, frequently referred to by Coach as the team's secret weapon.
  • Catchphrase: "Give your balls a tug, titfucker!"
  • Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon: Loves going into graphic detail about what he does to Jonesy and Reilly's mothers.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: He's arguably the most mean-spirited recurring character, but he will NOT tolerate anyone disrespecting Wayne Gretzky.
    • He absolutely hates Canadian separatists.
  • The Faceless: Only ever seen with his back to the camera, or his face otherwise obscured; the most we ever see of him is during hockey games, where he is only ever seen facing the camera at a distance and wearing an opaque black eye guard that hides the upper half of his face.
    • Somewhat averted, as the last clip of season 10 reveals his face from a side view.
    • And finally revealed in his self-titled spin-off, where he's still portrayed by Keeso.
  • Gasshole: Regularly and loudly farts, either because he is running his mouth while on the toilet, or just to be extra disrespectful. Lampshaded by Reilly.
    Reilly: ...The fuck do you eat!?
  • Hidden Depths: He practices on the ice every day and well into the night, to the point of throwing up from over-exertion.
  • I Banged Your Mom: His go-to chirp when it comes to Jonesy and Reilly.
    Shoresy: Fuck you, Reilly, your mum keeps trying to slip a finger in my bum, but I keep telling her I only let Jonesy's mum do that, ya fuckin' loser.
    Reilly: My mum would never stick a finger in your bum!
    Jonesy: Mum's a fuckin' saint!
  • Identical Stranger: During his tenure on Letterkenny, Jared Keeso voiced Shoresy with the actor keeping his face hidden from the camera. Come the spin-off, it's revealed that Shoresy is also played by Jared Keeso, albeit with a full beard to distinguish him from Wayne.
  • Insufferable Genius: He is an exceptionally talented hockey player for sure, but he is also, without a doubt, the biggest prick in the series. Later seasons also demonstrate that he even plays like a dick, as he deliberately snows goalies as much as possible and regularly indulges in dirty hits. In Season 8, he starts a fight with another player by smashing him in the ankles so hard that the stick breaks, resulting in him getting thrown in the penalty box for most of the remaining game.
  • Jerkass: He may be hilarious, but he is a complete douchebag who runs his mouth to Jonesy and Reilly for no good reason, and has repeatedly made misogynistic comments and sexually harassed women. It gets to a point that literally nobody in town likes him and only tolerates him at best (all of the other hockey players dislike him, and he's also provoked the ire of Dax and Ron too). Best illustrated when he takes umbrage at Jonesy and Reilly insinuating that Gordie Howe was a better player than Wayne Gretzky, and goes out of his way to be as rude about it as possible.
    Shoresy: Gretz holds or shares sixty-one records in the Show, you piece of shit, don't nickel-and-dime the Great One.
    Jonesy: But, Mr. Hockey?
    Shoresy: Suck my Mr. Cockey, you fuckin' loser.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: His Jerkass antics finally catch up to him in the eighth season, when he gets thrown in the penalty box for unsportsmanlike behaviour culminating with him ruthlessly attacking someone who was laughing off his chirps. Jonesy and Reilly even take the chance to get even with him by getting his ass beat by Joint Boy and Tyson while in the penalty box after he makes crude comments about Katy.
  • Mic Drop: Regularly uses these right before he makes Jonesy and Reilly give up when he's chirping them.
    He'd be boatin' with Kylie Minogue. Let's get some fuckin' gyozas.
  • Naked People Are Funny: Slinging I Banged Your Mom insults? Funny. Slinging I Banged Your Mom insults while doing bare-ass naked handstand push-ups in the shower? Hilarious.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Gets his ass beat by Tyson and Joint Boy (at the behest of Jonesy and Reilly) for making crude sexual comments about Katy.
  • Persona Non Grata: Apparently banned from Canada's Wonderland due to repeated instances of inappropriate behaviour in public.
    Shoresy: Fuck you, Jonesy, your mom got us banned from Canada's Wonderland for trying to give me a tug on Top Gun.
    Reilly: Fuck you, Shoresy!
    Shoresy: Fuck you, Reilly - I took your mom the weekend before and she asked me to diddle her on Drop Tower!
  • Phrase Catcher: "FUCK YOU, SHORESY!" is the usual refrain from Jonesy and Reilly whenever he goes off on them. It's even been used by the likes of Betty-Anne, Mary-Anne, Ron, and Dax too.
    • To a lesser extent, a confused and bewildered "Shoresy?" whenever he shows up after not being seen for a while.
  • Put on a Bus: In season ten, Tanis trades him to her cousin's hockey team up north, thus neatly segueing into his spin-off.
  • Running Gag: As of Season 7, whenever his name comes up during roll calls, he always answers with a loud fart.
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: To Jonesy and Reilly.
  • Smug Snake: In Season 8, as a deconstruction of his trollish behaviour. While he is still a talented player, he focuses so much on antagonizing other players that when he meets someone who can just laugh off his chirps, he grows angrier and angrier and plays significantly worse, up to the point where the team only starts scoring goals after he gets thrown in the penalty box for starting a fight with a dirty hit. Later on, he even costs Tanis' team the championship retroactively, having conspired to lie to get them classified as Native.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Asian food in general, judging by how often he brings up going to get some.
  • Trash Talk: The core of his character; relentless chirping is his raison d'etre.
  • Troll: His entire character. This extends to his conduct on the ice, as he constantly chirps other players talks tons of shit, and plays like a dick with tons of snowing and dirty hits. Eventually deconstructed, as it's shown that nothing pisses him off more than a player who can laugh off his chirps, and when Shoresy gets mad, he becomes a significantly less effective player (to the point where the team doesn't start scoring goals until he gets thrown in the box). This tendency is also lampshaded by several TSN commentators, who point out that he cares way more about being a dick and pissing people off than playing, citing him as an overall liability to the team despite his ability. This is to the point that tactically he ends up more valuable to the team as someone to sacrifice rather than a player.
  • Unusually Uninteresting Sight: As the spin-off reveals, Shoresy has been walking around town looking like an unshaven version of Wayne for years and no one has found it unusual, including Wayne himself.
  • Urine Trouble: Rather infamously manages to piss from halfway across the room into the urinal between Jonesy and Reilly - making it a point to wait until their hands are in the prime splash zone.
    Shoresy: What are you pissin' so close to the urinals for, you piece of shit? This is how a real man rocks a piss! Give your balls a tug, titfucker!
    Jonesy: What the fuck, man?!
  • Verbal Tic: Habitually ends many of his insults with "you fuckin' loser" or "you piece of shit".
  • Vocal Dissonance: Has a very high-pitched voice (courtesy of Jared Keeso speaking in falsetto).
  • Your Mom: His modus operandi, and his primary means of antagonizing Jonesy and Reilly. While they clearly don't believe him, the two eventually receive texts that suggest that he may not have been lying after all.

    Betty-Anne and Mary-Anne 

Betty-Anne and Mary-Anne

Portrayed by: Kelly McCormack and Jess Salgueiro

Star players for the Letterkenny Shamrockettes.


  • Cock Fight: The root of their disagreement turns out to be that they're both going after Shoresy, and it takes Reilly and Jonesy telling them Shoresy thinks women shouldn't play hockey to put him aside and start winning again.
  • Distaff Counterpart: They're basically just Reilly and Jonesy as women, albeit smarter, and they throw insults at each other like Shoresy. They even have a Love Triangle going on when we first meet them, just like Reilly and Jonesy did with Katy at the start of the series.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: They call off the game with the Letterkenny Irish halfway through after it's clear they won't be able to get out of the hole they've been dug into.
  • The Lad-ette: Just as hard-nosed as anybody on the men's hockey teams.
  • Trash Talk: Their inability to stop chirping at each other and get back on the same page nearly derails the team's hopes of scoring a third straight championship.

    Joint Boy 

Joint Boy

Portrayed by: Joel Gagne

A walking advertisement for local gym The Basement, and occasional ally to the Hicks. Later joins the Letterkenny Irish.


  • Addiction-Powered: Can spell flawlessly... until he runs out of joints.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: He'll scrap at a moment's notice, but is otherwise a fairly fun guy to be around.
  • Defeat Means Friendship: After getting bested by Wayne in a fight, he stays for Daryl's birthday party and remains on friendly terms with the hicks.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Tyson. They share a duplex as of s07e04, 'Letterkenny vs. Penny'.
  • No-Sell: During one fight, he takes a bottle straight to the back of the head and barely notices. Wayne is the only one who's been able to take him down.
  • The Stoner: He smokes a lot of joints. You could probably get a contact high just by stopping next to him at a red light. During the fight at the end of season 1, he even stops to smoke a joint in the middle of the fight.
  • Worthy Opponent: Views Wayne as this, offering to reschedule their fight due to Wayne having protected one of his cousins.

    Tyson 

Tyson

Portrayed by: Jay Bertin

JB's right-hand man and occasional ally to the Hicks. Later joins the Letterkenny Irish.


    Ron and Dax 

Ron and Dax

Portrayed by: James Daly and Gregory Waters

Two gay, married gym rats that befriend Reilly and Jonesy.


  • All Gays are Promiscuous: They've had dozens of sexually transmitted diseases. When Reilly and Jonesy receive their first, the two consider it a rite of passage.
  • Camp Gay: Ron is much campier than Dax, and the mere mention of his sexuality is enough to drive him into a horned-up frenzy.
"Let's get so fucking gay. Let's get some ass."
  • Catchphrase: "What're we even fuckin' doing here?" following a long string of single-entendres.
  • The Gadfly: While they are a pair of horndogs, at least some of it is to annoy people. They are introduced chirping at Reilly and Jonesy... but once they become friends and the Hockey Players reveal they'd be insulted if they weren't chirped at, Ron and Dax move on to the next target.
  • Gym Bunny: They spend a lot of time in the gym.
  • Happily Married: Played with: the main reason the two married was for tax purposes, but they're inseparable despite that.
  • Has a Type: They both are attracted to otters (IE: hairy young men). This is good news for Roald in 'Valentime's Day' (and he'd had a previous sexual relationship with Ron from when they both played little league baseball).
  • Loveable Sex Maniac: The two are basically decent - if obnoxious - dudes, but they're about as horny as Gail is and, like her, don't make even a small attempt to hide it.
  • Mr. Fanservice: The two are hunky and wear sleeveless shirts at the gym.
  • Really Gets Around: They have lost track of the number of times they've gotten an STD.
  • Straight Gay: Dax is much less campy than Ron is, and is generally subdued.
  • Those Two Guys: The gym rat answer for Reilly and Jonesy.

The Skids and Their Friends

    In General 

The Skids

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/skids.jpg
"[We'll do] what we always do. Copious amounts of hard drugs."note 

A group of petty delinquents whose lives revolve around video games, rave music, and hard drugs.


  • Be Careful What You Wish For: In season 3, they make it their mission to behave badly enough that Gae will be sent back to the city, which is what she wants. By the time they achieve their goals, however, they've all become good friends and are very upset at being parted.
  • Coordinated Clothes: From season 2 onward, they all wear black overalls over white tank tops, excepting Stewart, who doesn't wear the tank top and wears a black bowler hat.
  • Dance Battler: During the fight at the end of season 1, the Skids are dancing while they fight.
  • Delinquents: Oh yeah. When they're not loitering, vandalizing, or ripping people off, they're doing "copious amounts of hard drugs", as well as selling them.
  • Delusions of Eloquence: They speak in an unnecessarily and pretentiously formal manner, most of the time.
  • Emo Teen: The "teen" part is debatable, but they fit the rest of the stereotype to a T.
  • Everyone Has Standards: For whatever other faults they might have, they don't deal to kids.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: The Skids are an established group in Letterkenny, but for the first few seasons they're mostly tolerated, not actually liked. This is subverted in later seasons; while the other groups still find them annoying, they still hang out together more often than not.
  • Informed Attribute: The Skids are often described as 'greasy' and are meant to be dirty and unkempt, but they only really look it up until about halfway through season 2.
  • Large Ham: Oh yes. It comes with the territory of being hardcore drug addicts prone to huge mood swings.
  • Rough Overalls: The Skids, a mostly-unemployed group of drug users, are always wearing black overalls from Season 2 onward.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: They triggered Tanis' arson spree by double-crossing her and reselling cigarettes that they bought from her at a substantial discount after having agreed not to.
  • Vague Age: Just like Katy, it's not clear how old they're supposed to be. They're absolutely out of high school, at least, though Gae is likely the youngest out of all of them.

    Stewart 

Stewart

Portrayed by: Tyler Johnston

The de facto leader of the skids and aspiring DJ. His lust for Katy causes no small amount of conflict early on.


  • Abhorrent Admirer: To Katy, sort of. She doesn't seem to mind, but Wayne and the other hicks certainly do.
    Wayne: Fuckin' greasiest skid I ever seen, Criss Angel Mindfreak-lookin' motherfucker.
    • Most definitely to Tanis.
  • Actually Pretty Funny: He tends to be indignant when people insult him, but when Katy roasts him as part of her standup performance, he just smiles and shrugs.
  • Bigger Is Better in Bed: If what Wayne said about the time that he accidentally saw him naked is any indication, Stewart is very well-endowed. Judging by Katy's reaction, she is quite crestfallen that they broke up before they had sex.
    Wayne: I'll tell ya what, it looked like a deflated football hangin' there.
    Katy: Fuck.
    • And judging from the commentary of his lovers through the series, he definitely follows through.
  • Catchphrase: "Wondrous."
  • Character Development: Subverted, following an Intervention in Season 5, Season 6 has Stewart going sober, cutting his hair and acting more confident. Unfortunately, this all goes out the window once Gae leaves. From Season 7 onwards Stewart more or less reverts to his Season 1 personality, growing his hair long again, diving back into drugs. The only noticeable development since is his body bulking up.
  • Cool People Rebel Against Authority: Mocked with all the Skids, but particularly Stewart. Stewart's "rebellion" consists largely of taking drugs and being off-putting, and it only makes him less cool and appealing. He's actually pretty cool once he takes 20% down off it - Katy's attracted to his sensitivity and Wayne realizes they share interests and attitudes towards life. Best exemplified by the season 4 finale when Stewart assumes his famous jock cousins, Hudson and James Bay, hate him - turns out they always wanted to hang out, have a Puppers and play some NHL (rips are a hard no though - but it turns out some of the Hicks are absolutely game).
  • Dashingly Dapper Derby: Also his Hat of Authority.
  • Didn't Think This Through: Stewart gets really into the idea of being a vigilante in season 6. He, Gae and Roald make an enemy in the process, but he and Gae don't take said enemy seriously, even when it's made clear that the guy knows where they live and is ready to throw down. When the guy and his friend pull knives on them, Stewart and Gae are visibly shocked and wind up giving up on the vigilantism.
  • Everyone Has Standards: He did steal the money from a church bake sale, but only as a harmless prank to get back at Glenn, and gives it back after a few hours without being prompted. He was also disgusted when he learned Jivin' Pete was passing out Gail's nudes and promised that he'd let 'the right people' know
  • He Cleans Up Nicely: His typical look is derided as greasy and unattractive. However, when he cuts his hair and dresses up for the club in Season 6, he has no trouble attracting attention.
  • Hidden Depths: Wants to be a DJ and doesn't seem to be too bad at it, from what we've heard. He also likes rap music and has an encyclopedic knowledge of hockey, to the point that it even convinces Wayne to hang out with him. When asked for a woman he respects by Professor Tricia, he cites a female soccer player, showing knowledge of that sport as well. He's also repeatedly shown to be a competent programmer and has a decent grasp of business and finances.
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: While he'd deny the accusation, it's pretty obvious from his occasional friendly interactions with Wayne and the Jocks that Stuart just wants people to like him. He looked devastated after Tanis ripped into him claiming that the people around him just want him to disappear.
  • I Know Mortal Kombat: He's really good at dodging in a fistfight, which he attributes to playing a lot of DanceDanceRevolution.
  • Morality Pet: Arguably to Katy. She doesn't tolerate his bullshit, but she obviously has a soft spot for him and will leap in to defend him if he needs it. She'll also help him if he needs it without question, like when she joined his intervention in season 5 and came to the rescue in season 6.
  • Odd Friendship: Forms one with Wayne over their shared love of hockey.
  • Relationship Upgrade: He and Gae become partners in season 6...
  • So Happy Together: ...but they, unfortunately, have to break it off after it becomes too dangerous for Stewart and Roald to stay in the city.
  • Technical Pacifist: Outright states that he will not hit another human being under any circumstances. He will, however, use grapples and slams. During the final brawl with the Degens to save Darry, he and Roald act as a distraction with fireworks instead of fighting, something they perform well.
  • Then Let Me Be Evil: Not evil, per se, but it's been implied on rare occasion that Stuart acts the way he does because of the way people treat him.
    Stuart: I've been a skid for as long as you hicks have called me one.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Stewart is a huge wimp, but he starts working out in season 8, gets fighting lessons from Tyson and Joint Boy, and even takes down a big city drug dealer.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: He's still snarky and often dismissive of the others but more willing to hang out as the series goes on. His insults during the comedy night at Mo Dean's 3 appear to be just friendly chirping and he's shown laughing in a "well, they're not wrong" way when the performers insult him. He and Roald work with Reilly and Jonesy to try to convince Katy to stay in Letterkenny instead of moving to Mexico and during the series finale sincerely thanks everyone for showing up to his second rave.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: Stewart doesn't seem to understand the difference between pro wrestling and real fighting. He genuinely thinks that, when he has an opening, he's supposed to go for John Cena's Attitude Adjustment and pin the other guy for 3.

    Roald 

Roald

Portrayed by: Evan Stern

The Lancer of the Skids. Tiny, neurotic and openly and proudly gay.


  • Abusive Parents: Roald's parents were less than accepting of his sexuality, which may be how he ended up with the Skids.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Gae calls him 'Roaldie'.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: He's one of the more pleasant characters in the series overall, but he's also an absolute animal in a fight who's not afraid to fight dirty.
  • Catchphrase: He often exclaims Stewart's name while strangling the vowels, so it sounds more like 'Stwrrt!'
  • Combat Pragmatist: He holds his own alongside Stewart, Joint Boy, and Tyson in a fight. Unlike the other three, who are decently to very well muscled, Ronald resorts to weaponizing beer bottles, cracking his opponents kneecaps with them, and using the shattered remains to gouge out eyes.
  • Hidden Depths: In the Easter special, Glen and the hockey bros walk in on Roald contentedly painting an enormous self-portrait. He also has an "inspiration board" full of character studies and sketches for his... "personal entertainment," that he apparently drew himself.
  • Incompatible Orientation: He's in love with Stewart, who supports him but isn't interested.
  • Inelegant Blubbering: Is besides himself when Gae has to leave at the end of season 3, he can barely say through his hysterical sobs that he likes her and doesn't want her to go.
  • Keet: Very high-energy and very adorable.
  • The Lancer: Once Devon moves away, Roald fills this role for the Skids, with his more timid nature contrasting with Stewart's confidence and reckless ambition.
  • Lethal Joke Character: Roald is tiny, borderline neurotic and looks like he'd fly away in a strong wind. But when he, Stewart, Joint Boy and Tyson go up against a drug dealer and his henchmen, Roald turns out to be a total animal in a fight, knocking one guy down by smashing a bottle across his knees and then gouging his eyes.
  • Nice Guy: He's quite pleasant to nearly everyone as part of his timid, passive nature.

    Devon 

Devon

Portrayed by: Alexander De Jordy

Stewart's partner for the first couple of seasons. He later turned against Stewart, reconciled, and was suddenly Put on a Bus.


  • Childhood Friends: With Stewart.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Will steal and do drugs like the rest of the skids, but calls their vandalism "two-bit".
  • The Generic Guy: When compared to Gae or Roald. He's essentially a closer-to-earth Stewart.
  • Jerkass: Sabotaged Stewart's concert to convince him that nobody else cares about him so that he'd keep using and selling meth.
  • The Smart Guy: Creates Fartbook, makes a successful political ad, likes reading Murakami, and seems to be the all-around brains of the group.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: As mentioned under Jerkass, Devon's willing to destroy Stewart's ambitions to make sure he keeps selling meth.
  • We Used to Be Friends: Spends a big chunk of season 2 feuding with Stewart.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Devon abruptly leaves town in season 3. The Skids spend a couple of episodes wondering where he went and why, but then forget about him and don't mention him again.

    Gae 

Gae

Portrayed by: Sarah Gadon

A later addition to the team as well as the only female skid. Founding member of FAKU.


  • Affirmative-Action Legacy: Came in just in time to replace Devon, a male.
  • The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes: Her mother is a psychologist who is either unable or unwilling to deal with her daughter acting out.
  • Commuting on a Bus: She leaves at the end of season 3, has a guest appearance in season 5, then is around for part of season 6, before leaving again and not returning.
  • It's Not You, It's My Enemies: After the city drug dealer shows up with knives to attack the skids, Gae sends Stewart and Roald back to Letterkenny to protect them.
  • Monster Clown: Dresses up as one when she goes on vandalism sprees.
  • Nietzsche Wannabe: Comes off like this, with her claims that she hates the world, her parents and herself.
  • Oh, Crap!: When the dealer and his friends pull knives on the Skids at the club, Gae looks genuinely shocked and alarmed, and later tells Stewart that they need to break up and lay low for a while.
  • Pet the Dog: One genuinely wholesome (relatively-speaking) act she does is create (with the help of Stuart and Roald) and sell a strain of roofies that discolours a drink to prevent date rape. Her logic (which isn't incorrect) is that people are inevitably going to do drugs at the club, so they may as well distribute something that can't be used badly.
  • Psychopathic Womanchild: Easily the most outwardly malicious of the Skids, and her love of wanton, pointless destruction, general selfishness, and amoral tendencies make it obvious that there is something genuinely wrong with her.
  • Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: She makes it a point to make a date rape-proof drug to distribute.
  • Relationship Upgrade: She and Stewart get together in season 6.
  • Sixth Ranger: Only added to the Skids later on.
  • Unfortunate Names: Causes some confusion when she introduces herself to the other skids.
  • Vague Age: Her comments about how she was sent to Letterkenny for things like staying out past curfew and kissing boys imply that she's in her late teens, maybe a little older, but there's no clarification.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: In season 6, she and Stewart have to break up after a drug dealer threatens to kill them and actually pulls knives on them at a club. Stewart and Roald go back to the city, and Gae disappears to parts unknown. However, she's not mentioned after season 7, even after Stewart takes down the dealer in season 8, which would theoretically make it safe for him and Gae to reunite.

    Connor and Darien 

Connor and Darien

Portrayed by: Patrick McNeil (Connor) and Danny VanZandwyk (Darien)

The other two skids, who pretty much exist to hang out with the others and do their bidding.


  • Funny Background Event: They usually provide them during the Skids' scenes.
  • Hidden Depths: According to Stewart, Darien is obsessed with the films of Danny Boyle, and Connor has a lot to say regarding the works of Nikos Kazantzakis.
  • Social Circle Filler: They basically exist to round out the Skids.
  • The Voiceless: They got their first on-screen line in season 8, and it's growling Stewart's name. They get another line in season 9, saying a total of three words. Not each, but in total. In season ten, they get to say Stewart's name again, once each.

MoDean's

    Gail 

Gail

Portrayed by: Lisa Codrington

The owner/bartender at MoDean's.


    Bradley 

Bradley

Portrayed by: Adrian Holmes

Rosie's favourite cousin (and Gail's second-favourite), who Gail hires to fend off some degens from MoDean's II.


  • Always Someone Better: Bradley's so effortlessly cool that even Wayne can't help fawning over him like Bradley's his big brother.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: Encourages the Hicks to get absolutely wasted while he fends off the degens... until he finds out how annoying they all are when they get that wasted.
  • Graceful Loser: After Wayne knocked him out at the end of season 3, Bradley explains in season 4 that he actually doesn't have a problem with what went down: he knocked out Dan and Daryl, Wayne knocked him out in revenge, it all evens out.

    Bonnie McMurray 

Bonnie

Portrayed by: Kamilla Kowal

McMurray's younger sister, who works several odd jobs around town, most typically at MoDean's.


  • Action Girl: She takes part in the beatdown of the citiots at Dax and Ron's wedding.
  • Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: She's a dark-haired Dude Magnet who, while polite and kind, tends to be more detached from the rest of the town's antics.
  • Audience Surrogate: When she appears, it's not uncommon for Bonnie to make a quip about how odd the town and its people are.
  • Dude Magnet: To practically every guy in Letterkenny (except Wayne.) In Season 9, Stewart, Reilly, Jonesy, and Dary all try to get her attention at the same time.
  • Even the Girls Want Her: Katy makes no attempt to hide her attraction to her.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: She occasionally gets very jealous when around women who Wayne is dating or showing an interest in.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Even more so than Katy.
    Caller: Hey, uh, McMurray, what's the best way to connect a three-point hitch?
    McMurray: When connecting your trailer to your tractor with a classic three-point hitch-
    Caller: No, no, I was actually wondering how you'd think the best way to get your wife and balls-hot sister into a hot, sweaty three-way would be! I'm talkin' 'bout some real hot fuck action!
  • New Job as the Plot Demands: If a new business opens in town, Bonnie will likely work there for at least a bit. She at one point mentions working two doubles at two different bars on the same day.
  • Nice Girl: Bonnie is noticeably sweet and kind to pretty much everyone (though Jonesy and Reilly's immature bro antics eventually manage to exhaust her patience and goodwill), and nobody in the town seems to have a bad opinion of her. The only exception is Marie-Fred.
    • This exception may in part be explained by Bonnie's Green-Eyed Monster tendencies whenever Wayne is dating someone else.
  • Only Sane Woman: Bonnie is arguably one of the most "normal" characters in the series, and is the quickest to note the strange behaviour of the rest of the town. Even her quasi-obsession with Wayne is toned down significantly in later seasons.
    • Best exemplified when she walks into a Serious Business fishbowl discussion between most of the town... about potato chip flavours:
    "Yo. What the actual fuck is going on here?"
  • Phrase Catcher: A long, drawn-out "Oh, Bonnie McMurrayyyyyyyy."
  • Running Gag: During the Halloween special, Bonnie exits the MoDean's backroom in a revealing outfit, Squirrely Dan, Daryl, and Katy say her name in an awestruck manner and fawn over her, and Wayne is Not Distracted by the Sexy, correctly deduces her current activity or obligation, and wishes her well as she walks back into the backroom.
  • Single-Target Sexuality: Even though Bonnie could have almost anyone in Letterkenny— man or woman— she only has eyes for Wayne. (Wayne, for his part, considers her too young to be appropriate for a relationship with him.)

Natives

    Tanis 

Tanis

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/letterkenny_tanis.jpeg
Portrayed by: Kaniehtiio Horn

The leader of the nearby First Nations reserve, and a sometimes-friend, sometimes-enemy of the Hicks.


  • Action Girl: She's as tough as Wayne is, and regularly participates in some of the donnybrooks the Hicks are involved in.
  • Affectionate Nickname: The other Natives call her 'Aunty Tanis'.
  • Ascended Fangirl: She is a really big fan of the sports presenters in season 8, and is visibly flustered when she's invited onto their show.
  • Badass Native: She is a proud protector and leader of her people who takes no shit from anyone.
  • Berserk Button: She is visibly angered by Bonnie McMurray stepping out of the Modean's backroom in a "sexy Indian" costume and threatens her with violence if she doesn't go home to change out of it. Played for Laughs when Wayne then correctly deduces that Bonnie was on her way to participate in a presentation on cultural appropriation. Also, don't double-cross her unless you want her to start lighting half your town on fire.
  • Better as Friends: She and Wayne date for a while, but eventually decide that while they're sexually compatible, they're not romantically compatible.
  • Big Sister Instinct: She wants what's best for her young cousins and does whatever she can to make that happen, which includes keeping them interested in hockey so they don't have negative influences. Given that the people of the First Nations tribes in Canada have often been underserved by social programs and this has had negative repercussions societally, this is a legitimate concern for her to have.
    • She verbally rips into a girl who's been harassing Jonesy and Reilly nonstop for over a week, warning her to stay away from Tanis's boys.
  • Chef of Iron: Very, very serious about her skill behind the grill, to the point where even the Hicks defer to her.
  • Do Not Call Me "Paul": One episode has characters (such as Ron and Stewart) begin to call her "Tanzy." She promptly and flatly states that she'll end each of them if it becomes "a thing."
  • Everyone Has Standards: While easily the most amoral character outside of the skids, Tanis has lines she won't cross, a big one being selling cigarettes to minors.
  • Friend to All Children: She's always looking out for the kids on the Rez and coming up with ways to keep them from getting in with the wrong crowd.
  • Hero Antagonist: Had nothing against Wayne or the rest of the Hicks, but her revenge on the town made her an enemy by default.
  • Hidden Depths: When the Kerry County Eagles enter the national tournament, she proves a skilled live sports director, to the point that TSN co-produces the finals with her crew.
  • Hoist by Their Own Petard: In the season 1 finale, Tanis and Wayne come to an agreement that would have allowed everyone to leave without a fight. However, Tanis then decides to give Stewart a very nasty "The Reason You Suck" Speech, which pisses Katy off, so Katy kicks Tanis in the box and instigates the fight anyway.
    • In addition, Tanis also screwed herself over by burning down the new produce stand- before that, the Hicks had nothing to do with her grudge against the Skids and would likely have stayed out of it, but afterwards, they're solidly against her and Wayne holds that grudge for a while.
    • She tried to rip off a popular energy drink brand, knowing they would be too afraid of the PR hit for suing a small-time Native owned business to do anything. Instead they hit her where it hurts by getting the Native hockey team (which she owns) retroactively disqualified from the championship they won by proving they had non-Native players.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's absolutely tough as nails, but she genuinely loves her family, her tribe, and values her friendships with the people in Letterkenny (even if she would be caught dead before she showed it).
  • The Lad-ette: Absolutely loves drinking, fighting, and sex, and is a pro behind the grill.
  • Mama Bear: Fuck with her people, and she will stop at nothing to get her revenge.
  • Not So Above It All: It is incredibly difficult to faze Tanis, but even she is visibly struggling greatly to not crack up when Shoresy is chirping Jonesy and Reilly in the locker room while she is trying to recruit the three of them for her team.
  • Not So Stoic: She is barely able to contain her excitement and awe at being on TSN in Season 8 and completely loses her composure.
  • One-Hit KO: Personally throws Hard Right Jay to the ground and knocks him out with one punch.
  • Real Women Never Wear Dresses: Invokes this when Wayne buys her a grilling apron as a Christmas gift, which strikes a little too close to Stay in the Kitchen for her, and Wayne has to explain that he bought it because he thought she'd get a kick out of what the apron said ("WHY YOU ALL UP IN MY GRILL?") due to how annoyed she gets when people get between her and the grill. Fortunately, once she gets the joke, she eases up.
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge: The Skids fucked her over by reselling cigarettes that she had sold them at a steep discount, so she went on an arson spree until she either got her money back or felt that she had sufficiently made her point.
  • Sex for Services: Gets the BroDude marketing representative off her back by offering to sleep with her. This quickly evolves into a full-on collaboration between their brands. Note that Tanis made it clear before the deal was struck that she wanted to bang.
    • She also arranges a bet with the Eagles' first coach, offering to blow him if his team beats hers. However, she makes it clear that she would have done this regardless of the bet, since she found him attractive.
  • Statuesque Stunner: She's the tallest woman of the main cast at 5'10, and has no trouble attracting male attention.
  • The Stoic: A nuclear weapon could go off next to her and the woman probably still wouldn't be fazed.
  • Supreme Chef: She's a master in front of the grill, and her cookouts are a big-ticket event because of it.

People from Letterkenny

    Glen 

Pastor Glen

Portrayed by: Jacob Tierney

The pastor of the local evangelical church and the Burning Bush Youth Ministry.


  • Abhorrent Admirer: To Wayne.
  • Camp Gay: So very, very camp.
  • Deep South: Affects a Southern accent, even if we don't know for sure where he's from. (He apparently spent a decent part of his early childhood in Kentucky due to his parents being missionaries.)
  • Hidden Depths: It's revealed in May 2-4 that he's a licensed pyrotechnician.
  • Keet: Glen does not run out of energy. When he and Skids do a job swap, even they run out of their meth-high energy before Glen even breaks a sweat.
  • Mad Libs Catchphrase: Constantly compliments women by saying they look like various film stars.
  • Transparent Closet: It could not be more obvious to everyone that he is gay.
  • Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?: Works as a waitress/bartender at various establishments around Letterkenny to supplement his income. He even shows up as a nurse/receptionist in the new clinic in season ten.

    Jim Dickens 

Jim Dickens

Portrayed by: Alex McCooeye

The town's agricultural auctioneer, who's frequently called on to MC other events around town.


    The Ginger and Boots 

The Ginger and Boots

Portrayed by: Unknown (their actors are uncredited)

Two quiet guys who hang around Letterkenny and occasionally help out in a fight. Most well-known for what they did to the ostrich (allegedly.)


  • Bestiality Is Depraved: They fucked an ostrich, allegedly. It should be noted that when Wayne and Tanis discussed this right in front of them, The Ginger and Boots made no move to clarify or deny it. Notably, when one of the Skids runs away from them during the scrap with the Natives at the end of season 1 (even though they are on one side), both are initially confused but then gesture to each other in a "yeah, that makes sense" matter.
  • The Dreaded: Their mere presence is enough to ward off the Degens from upcountry. In addition, Tanis was willing to accept less money than she was owed and a ban on Letterkenny if it meant she and her boys didn't have to fight the ostrich fuckers.
  • Extreme Omnisexual: Allegedly.
  • Flat Character: Practically the only recurring characters to never get any sort of development. In fact, their most defining trait is what they allegedly did to the ostrich.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Everyone in town is disgusted by them due to the oft-mentioned ostrich incident, but they're occasionally brought along as backup in a fight.
  • Godzilla Threshold: They're known to be quite tough, but Wayne will only bring them to a fight as a last resort.
  • Insistent Terminology: Whenever they're brought up, expect any reference to what they did to the ostrich to be followed by "allegedly."
  • Once Done, Never Forgotten: Any mention of them tends to go hand-in-hand with the (alleged) ostrich incident.
  • Phrase Catcher: Say it with us: "Allegedly."
  • Running Gag: Started off as one of the first running gags in the series.
  • Sunglasses at Night: Always.
  • Those Two Guys: Never seen apart from each other.
  • The Voiceless: They seem to never speak.

    Professor Tricia 

Professor Tricia

Portrayed by: Nazneen Contractor

Dan's Women's Studies professor at the local community college, who he idolizes.


  • Asian and Nerdy: A professor who's portrayed by the Parsi Nazneen Contractor.
  • Cool Teacher: Open-minded and understanding, even when dealing with the oddities of the male population of Letterkenny.
  • The Ghost: She was originally just mentioned by Dan offhandedly with "Professors Tricias says..." before stating some sort of words of wisdom he learned from her. The International Women's Day Special finally features her first appearance on screen.
  • Hot Teacher: Is a college professor and an absolute smokeshow.
  • Innocent Fanservice Girl: She changes from her work clothes into casual garb in front of Letterkenny's guys. Cue the Male Gaze.

The Degens From Upcountry

    The Degens From Upcountry 

The Degens from Upcountry

A loose collection of trashy, troublemaking louts, who pretty much nobody other than them can even stand. Members include Jivin' Pete, Sled Ted, Alistair Orson Westwood Yates, and Rat-Ass.


  • Always Chaotic Evil: Their focus in season 12 shows them as this. Their idea of the town's signature wordplay is scamming one of their members into paying the other far more for a truck than it's worth, their use of metaphors like "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" are invariably nasty and cruel, they engage in literal Kick the Dog behavior and their idea of Saturday night fun is drawing straws to force someone to run while another member shoots at them with a rifle.
  • Conflict Killer: The fastest way for any two cliques in Letterkenny to come to an understanding is to team up and fight off an unwanted pack of degens.
  • The Corrupter: Hanging around with degens seems to make people turn into one, as in the case of Jivin' Pete.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: The degens may wreak havoc wherever they go, but even they're disgusted that the Ginger and Boots (allegedly) fucked an ostrich.
  • The Farmer and the Viper: Wayne tried to help Jivin' Pete turn his life around by giving him a job. He thanked Wayne by constantly showing up late, sleeping on the clock, and generally not taking it seriously in the slightest, and when Wayne made him take some time off to get his priorities straight (without firing him) after giving him innumerable chances, Pete went around town making false accusations against Wayne.
  • Foil: To the Hicks, both as a group and as individuals.
    • Generally: The Hicks live by hard work, respect, helping others, and loving animals. The Degens are never seen doing any actual work, show no respect for other people, trash property, abuse and manipulate each other, harass outsiders, and torture animals.
    • Mickey Gibraltar wears a similar jumpsuit to Daryl's, and his homophobic language contrasts with Squirrely Dan's respectful language. In many ways though, he mirrors Wayne. Wayne is stern, finds emotion difficult to express, is very respectful of women, and resorts to physical violence to solve problems. Mickey is upbeat, able to emotionally engage, uses very misogynistic language, and uses words to solve problems. Wayne is straightforward, protective of his sister, helps even those who hurt him in the past, and never tries to change anyone to fit his traditional worldview. Mickey is two-faced, encourages people to lust for his sister, swindles his friends, and corrupts Darry to keep him around. In the climactic scrap, Wayne charges in to shield Darry from a possible bullet and participates fully; Mickey is a coward who goes down in one shot from the Toughest Guy in Letterkenny.
    • Mickey's sister Harley and Katy are both sexually active, enjoy chirping, and link groups together (Harley links Darry to the Degens; Katy links the Skids, Hicks, and Hockey Players. However, Katy looks for balanced, healthy relationships, shares her brother's sense of justice, and chirps in a playful way with friends. Harley is part of Darry's manipulation, enjoys the Degens' harm, and chirps in a hurtful way at strangers.
    • Much like Jivin' Pete in Season 11, Squirrelly Dan and Darry in the start of the show are recovering drug addicts looking for a second chance. However, they work hard, take responsibility for their actions, and take Wayne's high standards into consideration. Jivin' Pete slacks off, does not acknowledge any fault, and spreads slander about Wayne.
  • Never My Fault: When Wayne confronts Jivin' Pete after being burned by him, Pete utterly refuses to take responsibility for his situation, instead opting to project heavily onto Wayne by making spurious accusations and painting himself as the victim of an unreasonable taskmaster who took advantage of a struggling man and kicked him to the curb when he outlived his usefulness.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: Degens are infamous for being racist, misogynist, homophobic, etc., to the point that the Hicks consider them a key part of "degen behaviour."

The Quebecois (Les Hiques)

    Anik 

Anik

Portrayed by: Kim Cloutier

A member of the Québécois faction of hicks whom the Letterkenny group meets while ice fishing.


  • Heel–Face Revolving Door: She starts out as an ally to the Hicks until the end of season six when she dumps Daryl. This holds true until the beginning of season ten: having shown up at the end of season nine to reveal that she's now dating Dierks, she dumps him and goes back to siding with the Hicks.
  • Official Couple: With Daryl in season six. It doesn't last long.

    Marie-Fred 

Marie-Frédérique

Portrayed by: Magalie Lépine-Blondeau

A young woman from Quebec who Wayne dates for a while.


  • Amicable Exes: By Season 10, Wayne has forgiven her and even helps her buy a truck.
  • Dating What Daddy Hates: Her brother, not her father - Jean-Claude adamantly despises Wayne for being English, as well as for being Daryl's friend after Anik leaves him for Daryl.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Everyone just calls her Marie-Fred.
  • Pet the Dog: Despite Katy kicking her in the crotch for cheating on Wayne, Marie-Fred travels to Letterkenny to warn Katy about Dierks cheating on her, as well as to apologize to Wayne.
  • Romantic False Lead: An interesting example, as she and Wayne were engaged at one point. She shows up as The Stinger of Season 9 even though Wayne and Rosie are happily dating... and it's revealed that she came to ask for Wayne's help in buying a car in Ontario, though the way she looks back at him at the end of the episode implies that there could be some lingering feelings there.

Americans

    Dierks 

Dierks

Portrayed by: Tyler Hynes

An American friend of Wayne's cousin Jake, who immediately gets under Wayne's skin due to his slimy and sexist nature.


  • Catchphrase: "Boo-boo kitty fuck".
  • Dirty Coward: He acts tough and confident when he has his cousins backing him, but the moment things look dodgy, he takes off.
  • Hate Sink: Even disregarding the fact that he was cheating on Katy, he's still a rude, disrespectful, obnoxious douchebag who thinks that he's some sort of redneck heartthrob, but is really just a loutish wannabe country boy loser. He is tellingly disliked almost instantly by everyone he meets (all of whom visibly struggle to hide their contempt for him, especially Wayne), and it is only out of a need to not alienate Katy and drive her closer to him that they bite their tongues.
  • In-Series Nickname: 'Long Dick Dierks'.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Was on the receiving end of one from most of the main characters after he cheated on Katy.
  • Too Dumb to Live: The second that he cheats on Katy, the whole town of Letterkenny kicks the shit out of him, despite Wayne's warning that hurting her would be painful for him. You'd think he'd keep a wide berth from the town after this, but he shows up at the end of Season 9 and into Season 10, runs his mouth, and promptly gets the shit kicked out of him a second time. And gets dumped by Anik.
