"This team will never lose again."
Shoresy

Shoresy is a Canadian Sitcom written by and starring Jared Keeso. A spinoff of Keeso's Letterkenny, Shoresy centers on Breakout Character Shoresy, an obnoxious, foul mouthed hockey player, after his transfer to Sudbury in Season 10. The first season focuses on the Sudbury Bulldogs, a struggling triple-A hockey team that has not won a single game for the entire season, and Shoresy's efforts to keep it from folding. Unlike its predecessor's more slice-of-life style of storytelling, Shoresy has a clear narrative arc that influences the entire season.

The series premiered on May 13, 2022 on Crave, and made available to stream on Hulu on May 27. Season 2 premiered on September 29, 2023, and was made available to stream on October 27. Season 3 is due to air on May 24, 2024.


Give the page some love, titfucker. And the new character page too, fuckin' loser:

  • The Ace: Sault Ste. Marie's team the Cyclones is the top team in the NOSHO and have been winning the tournament for years. They outplay the Bulldogs so well Shoresy can't even get mad at his team as the Cyclones are just that good. The only way they get to score is by playing violently and having the Jims scoring since the Cyclones aren't gonna risk injuries if they can avoid it, and even then it's not enough to close the gap.
  • Added Alliterative Appeal: After the Sudbury Bulldogs get sponsored by the Sudbury Blueberry Festival, they become the "Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs". The citizens of Sudbury find the alliterative name change degrading, and are sure to let the team know- as does Shoresy himself. It's a treat to watch Shoresy get a taste of his own medicine from high school hockey players Corey and Liam while he's trapped by his reffing job.
    Shoresy: May as well be called the fucking Sudbury Banana Boat Bulldogs. Fucking Sudbury Nectarine Neapolitan Mastiffs.
  • Always Someone Better: As a kid, Shoresy and his brother Morris would compete in all kinds of sports, and Morris won 99.9% of the time.
  • An Offer You Can't Refuse: In "The Man Advantage", Mercedes and her brother tell Sanguinet and Michaels that in return for the favour they did for the team in season 1, they want the team and especially Frankie to appear at the Coulson for the upcoming gay night, and the team don't get a say in it. When Mercedes repeats this to Shoresy and Shoresy tells them that Frankie's been very depressed and is refusing to leave his room, Mercedes makes it clear that either Frankie attends or Shoresy and the team are getting badly hurt.
  • Arch-Enemy: The Sudbury Bulldogs and the Soo Hunt, for the sole reason that Americans and Canadians utterly hate both losing and losing to each other.
  • As Himself: Jay Onrait appears for the series' intro, Canadian actress Laurence Leboeuf shows up as JJ Frankie JJ's girlfriend in both seasons, and fellow Canadian actress Lysandre Nadeau appears as her rival in episode 4. Canadian singer Rêve and actress Catherine St-Laurent appear as Frankie's new girlfriend and an ex in season two.
  • Ascended Extra: JJ Frankie JJ from seasons 8 and 10 of Letterkenny returns as a main character. Hitch is Teddy, one of the Newfoundland players who appeared in season 8.
  • Atrocious Alias: Shoresy is dismayed when thanks to a new team sponsor, the Bulldogs get renamed to the Blueberry Bulldogs. Various other characters mock them with some alliterative combination of "the [fruit] [dog breed]s".
  • Big Eater: Shoresy makes a ton of comments about JJ Frankie JJ being one, and his myriad ex-girlfriends back it up in season two. Shoresy himself was one as a kid.
  • Bilingual Dialogue: Dolo will nearly always only speak in Quebecois but understands English just fine; JJ Frankie JJ and Laurence Leboeuf alternate between the two, though it's clear that JJ's grasp of English is much weaker than Laurence's. Shoresy doesn't ever speak Quebecois, but it's clear that he can understand it just fine, as he often responds to JJ and Dolo in English without missing a beat.
    • On "Questionable Calls," Anik Archambault also throws in Quebecois phrases into her mostly-English dialogue.
    • On the talk show concerning JJ Frankie JJ and his treatment of the women he's dated, all three of his ex-girlfriends (Lysandre Nadeau, Catherine St-Laurent, and Rêve) switch from Quebecois to English toward the end of the program. Rêve suggests this due to the fact that JJ lives in Ontario now, and the women he dates there will need to understand what they're saying.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Season 1 ends with the Bulldogs losing the final match of the season, but the team has re-earned the respect and adulation of the community and found the motivation and drive to win next season.
  • Blatant Lies: Nat tries to claim to the NOSHO league commissioners that the Bulldogs did not start the brawl with the North Bay team because it started when only a single Bulldog player was present on the ice. The commissioners ask her who the Bulldog player was and Nat doesn't answer, because she knows that doing so would destroy the argument. The commissioners know quite well that Shoresy is more than capable of single-handedly starting a brawl against a whole opposing team, but decide to officially accept the lie since they want to see if the Bulldogs can beat the Sault Ste. Marie team.
  • Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: JJ Frankie JJ's ex-girlfriends Catherine St-Laurent (blonde), Lysandre Nadeau (brunette), and Rêve (redhead) when they appear on a talk show.
  • Book Dumb: Shoresy's foster brother Morris had a reputation for being dumb, at least until his foster sister Carrie came along. Carrie herself says that Morris isn't stupid, he just needed a tutor. Morris then follows by saying that what comes after one thousand is two thousands instead of one thousand and one.
  • Brick Joke: Mid-way through the first season, someone donates a bunch of gym equipment for the hockey team, including some exercise bikes that Shoresy says no one would ever use. Come the final episode, multiple people are using the bikes and noting they actually like using them.
  • Butt-Monkey: Sanguinet, Michaels, and Jay Onrait (in the opener).
  • Call-Back: Being a spinoff, Shoresy has a few references to its parent show.
    • JJ Frankie JJ, the Quebecois hockey player Shoresy hospitalized, returns as a new member of the Sudbury Bulldogs, complete with clips of the assault from Letterkenny.
    • Shoresy's relationship with Riley and Jonesy's mothers is mentioned.
    • In season two, Laura mentions that part of why she keeps turning down Shoresy is that she knows how much hockey players gossip. In the last episode, Shoresy tells Goody and Dolo that he turned down a woman he spent a year trying to get with, but he pretends (badly) that it wasn't Laura.
  • Captain Smooth and Sergeant Rough: Sanguinet and Shoresy, once the former grows into his role as coach. Shoresy provides blunt, in your face criticisms and demands a lot out of the team, while Sanguinet provides positive reinforcement and keeps Shoresy from going too far. It works to great effect.
  • Catchphrase:
    • Shoresy asks a question, and when the other person starts to answer it, interrupts them with "Huh?" He also starts his sentences with "Yeah, so", responds to annoying or exasperating situations with "Holy", and phrases a lot of statements to his teammates as variants of "Let's get some [X] in here, boys, let's get some [X]". He also often responds to 'Fuck you, Shoresy' with 'FOR WHAT?'
    • “So dumb.”
    • Goody describes nearly everything as 'unbelievable' or 'unreal'. He responds to nearly everything else with "settle down."
    • Ted responds to being called anything other than his name with "Been called worse, b'ys!"
    • The catchphrase of Episode 1 was "just got pumped 5-goose for the 20th loss of the campaign."
  • Character Development: The Bulldogs get one over the course of the season, going from not really caring about the game to hating to lose as much as Shoresy does.
  • Cluster F-Bomb: Like with Letterkenny, it's rare for the show to pass not even ten seconds without a form of "Fuck" thrown into the dialogue.
  • Comedic Underwear Exposure: In season 2 Shoresy pantses Fish before a game without breaking stride.
  • Crowd Chant: Shoresy's family has one for the foster kids. Shoresy's is "Waffle!", Morris' is 'Big Mo! Big Mo!' and Carrie's is 'Care Bear countdown, 4-3-2-1!' (Free's isn't shown.)
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Two in the first season. The Sault St. Marie Cyclones send their affiliates against the Bulldogs in the second-to-last game of the season, a fact which Shoresy and Sanguinet use to rile up the team. The Bulldogs absolutely flatten them. But this leaves the Cyclones' decent players fresh for the second game, where they return the favour.
  • Department of Child Disservices: The social worker who brought Papa Shore's foster kids to the farm talked about them in ways that a case worker really shouldn't; Carrie, who became a social worker herself, refuses to believe that a social worker would talk about the kids they're trying to help like that, but Papa Shore confirms that yes, he actually did.
  • Did You Just Have Sex?: Everyone comments on Nat getting laid in season 2.
  • Discriminate and Switch: At the Shore family reunion, Free gives an angry speech about how she's noticed people talking negatively about her and Carrie's relationship after they announced their engagement. At first it seems like the family might be homophobic or against interracial relationships... but it's actually because Free and Carrie are foster sisters. (Their dad tells them that he has no problem with them marrying, but they do have to be prepared to get thoroughly mocked for it.)
    Shoresy: Get a room, you fuckin' sister-wife!
  • Drill Sergeant Nasty: Shoresy becomes one in season two, feeling that while his teammates are doing much better than when they started, they've become lazy and complacent and aren't achieving everything that he knows they can. It gets to the point that at one point, he threatens to cut Fish from the team if he doesn't start scoring goals again.
  • Eating the Eye Candy: A manly, age-appropriate American hockey player announces that he's fixed the faulty showerheads in the visitors' locker rooms while still respecting the agency of the female team managers to have gotten it done themselves. Nat gawks at him in silence, utterly smitten.
  • Everyone Has Standards: In episode 2, Shoresy is appalled that his teammates haven't called their parents to let them know they arrived safely.
  • Family Theme Naming: Sisters Miigwan and Ziigwan, known as Miig and Ziig.
  • Foul Mouthed Parrot: Shoresy's Alexandrine parakeet, Big Sexy, who says nothing but 'Tit fucker!'
  • "Friends" Rent Control: Shoresy has a really nice two-bedroom apartment, but works as a referee for high school hockey.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: The Sault Ste. Marie team is greatly respected in the league for being the best team with some extremely talented players. However, everyone in the league is also extremely fed up with them being champions so many years in a row and wishes for them to be taken down a peg.
    • Michaels starts off as this, but turns it around by the end of the season and earns the respect of the team.
  • Good Parents: Shoresy's foster-father is a kind, respectful father to all his children, who all clearly love him very much.
  • Happily Adopted: Shoresy grew up in a foster home with three other children, and absolutely adores his foster family (he even took their last name), revealing a goofy, good natured side around them that he never shows in front of anyone else.
  • Hidden Depths: Michaels turns out to be really good at trivia.
  • Hoist by Their Own Petard:
    • In "Hockey Brings People Together", the Cyclones don't even bother sending their main team to fight the Bulldogs, just their backup players. Sanguinet takes this opportunity to get the Bulldogs fired up by telling them that the Cyclones don't even respect them enough to fight them themselves, which works, and the Bulldogs win.
    • This leads to the Surprisingly Realistic Outcome below as the Bulldogs annihilating a Sault team of call-ups leads directly to the Sault bringing their best players to bear in the final game, defeating the Bulldogs 5-2.
    • Frankie being a serial cheater comes back to bite him hard when three of his ex-girlfriends publicly call him out on TV in season two.
    • Played for laughs in season one: after Shoresy gets Nat to promote Sanguinet to coach, he tries to tell Sanguinet to shut the fuck up, and Sanguinet tells him that he can't tell his coach to shut the fuck up.
  • Hopeless Suitor: Michaels wants to get back with his ex, Mercedes, even when she screws every guy around and makes it clear that she isn't interested in him and would much prefer Sanguinet.
  • Honor Before Reason: "We lose, we fold". Averted in the season 1 finale since the Bulldogs have become a strong team and attracted a large fan following. It would be really stupid to fold such a team just because they lost a single game against the best team in the league.
  • Humble Pie: In a total reversal of his usual Sore Loser tendencies, Shoresy quietly accepts all of the taunting on and off the ice after the team name changes to the Blueberry Bulldogs. He is notably silent in a montage of Corey and Liam relentlessly chirping him about it as he's reffing their high school game. Why? Because he agrees its humiliating and hates it more than they do.
    Liam: It's so fucking embarrassing, Shoresy!
    Shoresy: I know. Why do you think I'm eating it?
    • He has a similar reaction after predicting the Team Calendar will come back to bite the Bulldogs in the ass, and it does, in fact come back to bite them in the ass.
  • Hypocrite: Zig-zagged in season two: after spending most of the season telling the other players that they're having so much sex that their performance in hockey games is suffering, Shoresy turns down Laura Mohr because as the captain, he feels that he can't ask his players to do something that he wouldn't do himself. That sentiment lasts about one day.
  • Hypocritical Heartwarming:
    • Shoresy frequently talks over Sanguinet and insults him, but after seeing a guy at the club harass him, Shoresy follows the guy into the bathroom and slams his head into the wall until he passes out.
    • Shoresy makes cracks about Frankie being fat all the time, but when a North Bay player makes a joke about Frankie's weight in season two, Shoresy is pissed.
  • Hypocritical Humor: Carrie and Free argue that it's fine for them to get married because they're not related and were only foster sisters for a year and a half; Shoresy points out that the argument is just a tad undermined by the fact that they both call their foster father 'Dad'.
    • Shoresy says Ziig's voice drives him crazy because it's so annoying.
  • I Banged Your Mom: As in Letterkenny, this is still Shorsey's weapon of choice when he needs to insult someone. Given that we now know he does actually like older women, some of these comments might not be all talk.
  • If It's You, It's Okay: Ziig prefers women, but is very attracted to Dolo and keeps talking about how big his dick must be.
  • Insistent Terminology: Shoresy is adamant that the key to winning isn't loving to win, it's hating to lose.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: When the NOSHO officials reprimand Nat, Miig, Ziig and Shoresy for the Norsemen fight, they point out that even if nobody got seriously hurt, there was a lot of blood on the ice, which does tend to freak out audience members (especially kids) and turn off the sponsors.
  • The Last DJ: In "The Man Advantage", the NOSHO officials and Nat note that there's been a concerted effort to make hockey less violent and more focused on speed and finesse; the NOSHO is one of, if not the only league where the players still focus on beating the shit out of each other instead of on technical skill.
  • Loophole Abuse: It's well known that the Bulldogs will fold if they lose a match. However, not playing a match is not the same as losing it, so getting a match cancelled allows the team to stay together.
  • Love Triangle: Sanguinet and Miig are attracted to each other (and wind up dating), but Mercedes is attracted to Sanguinet (who is also attracted to her, but is more interested in Miig) and isn't someone who takes no or polite brush-offs for an answer, even saying that he can bring Miig along. Meanwhile, Michaels wants to get back with Mercedes despite her near-total lack of interest in him.
  • The Mafia: Michaels' ex, Mercedes, and her brothers Angelo and Luca run the local branch in Sudbury.
  • The Man Behind the Man: Brought up in "Know Your Role"; Sanguinet, who's now the coach despite having never coached before, asks for Shoresy's help for the first game. Shoresy accepts on the condition that it's just for the first game, but some of their teammates who don't know about the condition interpret Shoresy's help as meaning that Sanguinet is the coach in name only and Shoresy's the real coach. Several of them complain to Nat about it, and one quits.
  • Manly Tears: Shoresy is completely unapologetic about his tendency to cry at various different moments. This includes, but is certainly not limited to, the playing of the Canadian national anthem before each game–with one notable exception.note  When he expresses a reluctance to cry, it's for situational reasons (for example, wanting to have finished crying before Nat arrives), not because he feels any shame for crying.
  • Massive Numbered Siblings: There are eight Apeldoorn sons who all play hockey.
  • May–December Romance: In season two, Ted starts a relationship with Pam, who is clearly much younger than him. (There is a twenty year age gap between their actors, and it shows.)
  • Meaningful Echo: At one point in season two, Michaels (and Carrie, later on) says that 'success doesn't mean anything if you don't have anything to share it with'. This clearly strikes a chord with Shoresy, enough that he seriously tries to win Laura Mohr over. When Carrie says it, it's enough to make Shoresy accept Laura's offer of sex, which he'd previously turned down.
  • Odd Name Out: The Policetti siblings, who one can assume are Italian or Italian-Canadian from the name, are Angelo, Luca (both common Italian male names) and Mercedes (a Spanish female name).
  • One-Steve Limit:
    • Played with. There are three players named Jim, and all three insist on being called Jim, even with Shoresy lampshading how confusing that would get. In the end it is subverted since the three Jims always act in unison and the entire trio is always addressed together as "Jim, Jim and Jim".
    • Subverted with the Soo Hunt's Will Belson, Ben Welson, Wayne Bilson and Bill Wilson. They are technically distinct names, but can be a nightmare for an announcer to call out during play when they start passing the puck to each other. The first time Remy Nadeau tries to call out their play, he ends up misnaming one of them as Benson.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When Michaels apologises for letting the Sault score on him, Shoresy doesn't berate him or tell him to shut up, but instead compliments Michaels' goaltending. He's realised how much the Sault team outclasses the Bulldogs, and that they can't win.
  • Overly Long Name: Dutch last names are so long they barely fit on their own sweaters.
  • The Peter Principle: Michaels is a lousy coach who gets no respect from his players and is fired in the first episode. When he is rehired as a player, he quickly proves that he is an excellent hockey player and quickly gains the respect of his teammates.
  • Phrase Catcher:
    • Shoresey's taunts and comments often prompt a "Fuck you, Shorsey!" from others.
    • When Shorsey draws a "Fuck you, Shoresey!" for something other than a taunt, he often responds with a bewildlered, "Fer what?"
    • "Shut the fuck up, Sanguinet!" almost every time Sanguinet opens his mouth. Later, when Michaels joins the team, it becomes "Shut the fuck up, Michaels!"
    • Whenever anyone mentions Michaels' ex, someone else will say that her brothers are really fucking weird.
    • Whenever the Sault Ste. Marie Cyclones are mentioned, someone will say that they're 'so fucking good.'
    • Whenever Nat talks about the benefits a successful Bulldogs team would have for the Sudbury community, Miig sums it up with "Sports keeps kids off the streets," and Ziig follows with "Drugs kill dreams."
  • Pokémon Speak: "Rémy Nadeau!"
  • Poor Communication Kills: When Nat sends Shoresy to recruit some tough Natives to play for the Bulldogs, she tells him they're 'in jail'. He takes this to mean that they're currently incarcerated; what she meant was that they work in a prison. This leads to an argument where she calls him racist and he vainly tries to point out that her phrasing was terrible.
  • Pre Ass Kicking One Liner: "Let's give 'em the fuckin' lumber, boys."
  • Punny Name: The Jims' trivia team is called 'Iroquiz', which they rename to 'Algonquiz' after getting a new member. Their opponents rename themselves 'Tropic of Answer'.
  • Rank Up:
    • In the first episode, Sanguinet is promoted to coach.
    • Shoresy is made the team captain for the final game.
    • Fish is a young second-string player who throughout the season starts getting praise for his dedication and teamwork. For the final game he is promoted to the main squad as a replacement for the missing JJ.
  • Really Gets Around: Michaels' ex, Mercedes.
    • This actually becomes a plot point in season two: after winning the season and getting jacked, the Bulldogs aren't reaching their potential because most of them are having so much sex that they're losing focus.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Ziig's Red Oni to her sister Miig's Blue Oni. While both can be snarky, Ziig tends to be far more aggressive while other characters note that Miig is a Nice Girl.
  • Relationship Upgrade:
    • Miig and Sanguinet start dating between seasons 1 and 2.
    • Shoresy finally wins over Laura Mohr at the end of season 2.
  • Rewatch Bonus: In season two, a bunch of Frankie's ex-girlfriends go on TV to publicly shame him for cheating on them, but the host mentions that Laurence Leboeuf declined to appear. At first one might think that Laurence wasn't available for this season, but then she appears later on in the season having got back with Frankie, and then it becomes apparent that Laurence simply didn't want to shame him.
  • Running Gag: Shoresy angrily asking his teammates for dip (packed tobacco). For the last game, Fish has brought not one, but three tins of dip in case Shoresy asks.
    • Hitch asking for a "martoonie" (martini) at every venue, even a panini shop.
    • Everyone mocking the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs with their own Atrocious Alias.
    • Shoresy asking if any of the veterans have called their parents to say they’ve arrived. They never have.
    • Whenever Hitch is introduced to someone, Shoresy says that if you say his name real fast, it sounds like 'ten inch cock'.
    • Whenever the Jims are called on to say something, the first two Jims always give short one or two word responses, and the third will say something more in depth.
    • Whenever someone mentions getting tough Natives for the team, Miig or Ziig will say that 'tough Natives' is redundant. Sanguinet also says it once–when the players are in the car and Shoresy is on the phone with Nat about the tough Natives.
    • In season two, whenever Miig or Sanguinet reference their (sickeningly cute) relationship, Shoresy (and Ziig, once) will sarcastically giggle.
    • "Senior Whaleshit Hockey."
    • Shoresy to Fish: "If I didn't see you on a date with [name of attractive Sudbury girl here] at [specific Sudbury locale], I'd think you were the ugliest guy here, but... you got her, so you musn't be."
    • Shoresy's chirps at Cory and Liam when he refs for the high school team involve either him having sex with their mothers or a reference to teen acne (which neither Cory nor Liam seems to seriously suffer from).
    • When someone addresses the Jims, the first two will give the same single-word response, and the third will use a lot of words to say the same thing.
  • Sharp-Dressed Man: Sanguinet, when he starts wearing a suit as the coach.
    Miig: Yo, Sanguinet in that suit, what is up?
    Ziig: *repulsed look* You, apparently.
  • Sickening Sweethearts: In season 2, Miig and Sanguinet become this trope, with Shoresy lampshading it by giggling sarcastically whenever they do anything cutesy.
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Shoresy and Michaels. Shoresy has no respect for Michaels whatsoever (though that does change in the second half of the season) and Michaels loathes Shoresy for the disrespect and all the stuff with his ex. (Even if Sanguinet was the one who actually got the squeezer.)
  • Soundtrack Dissonance:
    • "With A Girl Like You" by the Troggs plays in the intro of "The Man Advantage" as Shoresy grabs McPherson, a Norsemen player whose nose he broke, and drags him across the ice, leaving a trail of blood, and throws him into the Bulldogs' bench so the rest of the team can beat him up.
    • Also occurs when "Born to Be Alive" by Patrick Hernandez plays during the warm-up brawl that opens S 1 E 4 after Shoresy baits North Bay into the Bulldogs' tunnel upon realizing the Bulldogs can't beat North Bay without the sluts.
  • Spanner in the Works: JJ gets caught cheating on his girlfriend and flees back to Quebec to patch things up, leaving the team without their leading scorer and points leader during the hardest game of the season.
  • Stress Vomit: Shoresy is shown doing this in the season 1 finale when he realizes the team is going to lose.
  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome:
    • By the final game of the season, the Bulldogs have grown into a very strong team. However, the Sault Ste. Marie team are an extremely good team whose top players sat out the previous game and are well rested. The Bulldogs are given no openings and are outplayed in the first two periods. They manage to come back in the third period but it is not enough to close the large lead the opposition had.
    • Nat, Miig and Ziig are initially pissed that the people Shoresy recruits don't actually play hockey anymore, but he points out that anyone already signed to a team is not gonna leave that team, uproot themselves and go join a team on a 20 game losing streak in a small backwater league.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Shoresy and Ziig can't be near each other without throwing insults and barbs around.
  • Tempting Fate: Shoresy warns McPherson, a Norse Bay player, that if he pulls the dirty trick he used to score against the Bulldogs again, it'll end badly for him. McPherson doesn't listen, which leads to the incident mentioned under Soundtrack Dissonance above.
  • Those Two Guys:
    • Miig and Ziig, Nat's assistants.
    • Rémy Nadeau and Benoit "Benny" Brodeur.
    • Cory and Liam, two high school hockey players at the school that Shoresy works at.
  • Time Skip: There's one of somewhere between several months and a year between the first two seasons.
  • Tough Love: After getting frustrated with Fish's lack of goals recently, Shoresy and Sanguinet warn him that if he doesn't score in their next game, he's off the team. They're both absolutely elated when he does, and it's clear that they were confident he could do it (they even call him a 'scorer'), but Fish and everyone else express the opinion that they went too far.
  • Trademark Favorite Food:
    • Asian food, for Shoresy.
    • Goody loves chicken. Goody really loves chicken.
    • The Bulldogs develop a ritual where they eat ice cream "sticks" (cones) after each game.
  • Twofer Token Minority: Ziig is First Nations and queer.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: The only kind of buds that Shoresy has. He'll shit talk you all day long, but he'll also slam a guy's head into a bathroom wall for you.
    Shoresy: You're my teammate. You're my brother. I'd go to the wall for you. Would you go to the wall for me?
    Sanguinet: I'll go to the wall.
    Shoresy: Then you're allowed to call me a fucking useless cunt on your way there.
    • The NOSHO league commissioners spend the first half of their scene insulting Nat and Ziig, but they're still friends even after that, and Nat and Ziig don't seem offended by the comments.
    • Shoresy and Free throw a lot of insults at each other, but a scene in season two shows that all the Shore siblings really love each other.
  • Wham Line:
    • "We're not beating the Sault tonight."
    • Then later:
    Shoresy: It's too fucking late!
    Sanguinet: For this game. We'll get 'em in the playoffs.
