Recap / Letterkenny S 02 E 02 The Election

Go To

‘You’re having some beers in the barn with your pals the other day…’

At the barn, Wayne's having a drink with Daryl and Dan, who want to know what his first act as the new president of the Ag Hall will be. They ask about acts of charity, with both of them adamant that Wayne has to do some charitable act and make it very public; Wayne, on the other hand, is adamant that charitable acts should be done in private. The argument is not settled, and we get the credits.

At the hockey rink, a game's on. Reilly and Jonesy try chirping the other players from the bench, but their new teammates and Coach tell them that they don't have the right to chirp and that the player they were chirping deserves their respect, which leaves them dismayed.

At the Ag Hall, Wayne's concluding a very speedy meeting. McMurray has some business of his own- he wants a proper election between him and Wayne in a week's time. Everyone who isn't a Hick or Jim Dickens supports it, so they're getting that election.

At the dollar store parking lot, the Skids sans Stewart are dancing, with Devon having donned Stewart's bowler hat to symbolise his having taken over. Katy approaches the dollar store, where Bonnie is standing around looking disgusted, but is warned to not go in there, because the Skids crop-dusted the store. She and Devon chirp at each other, and Katy wins handily, leaving Devon looking furious.

Mr and Mrs McMurray come over and commission Devon, as the creator of Fartbook, to make a campaign video for the election. Roald points out that hurting Wayne will hurt Katy, and thus Stewart, so they're in. McMurray wants a smear campaign, and we cut to Stewart at the farm, where he's trying to convince Wayne to make a video of his own, but Wayne's not on board, instead deciding to mow other people's lawns as his private charitable acts.

Devon and Roald make their video, using a cast of diverse characters including McMurray, Glen and Wally. At the farm, Stewart shows Wayne the finished video, which is a take off of the Conservative Party's 'He's just not ready' ad about Trudeau. The video has over a thousand views, which is a bit concerning, since there's only 5000 people in Letterkenny. Stewart tells Wayne that he can guarantee that if he makes a video, he'll beat Devon's view count and Wayne won't have to sit through McMurray's meetings anymore. Wayne finally accepts.

At Wayne and Katy's house, Stewart has assembled his own actors- the Hicks, Reilly and Jonesy. He tries to film the video, but nobody seems to want to do it, and he gets frustrated and storms off.

The election happens... and everyone except the Hicks votes for McMurray. Afterwards, Dickens apologises to Wayne, saying that his video threw him off. Daryl shows Wayne the video: the first part is an obvious copy of the Carl's Jr 'I Love Paris' ad with Katy as Paris Hilton, and the second part is a copy of the Budweiser 'Wassup' ads with Reilly, Jonesy and Stewart; both parts have the actors repeatedly saying that 'McMurray's a piece of shit'. Wayne is floored.

At the hockey rink, Reilly and Jonesy are showering and complaining that their new teammates are no fun. They try chirping their new teammates, and it turns into a naked fight in the showers.

Back at the produce stand, Stewart points out that he never said he'd win Wayne the election, he said he'd beat Devon's view count, which he did. Wayne reflects that McMurray's meetings suck, but not enough to get into politics. He tells Stewart to leave, which he does, and then says that he's got chorin' to do because he's been mowing everyone else's lawns.

Jim Dickens drives up with a couple of friends, and says that he owes Wayne a favour for mowing his lawn and there's no time like the present, so can he help? Wayne takes his offered hand, and the episode ends.
