American Reacts to Letterkenny (funny moments) 

Letterkenny may have ended, but it's spinoff, Shoresy, is still going strong.

I think Tyler has been scarred for life 😂😂😂😂😂

Poor Tyler, scarred for life by Godless Canadian humour! 😆🤣😂

This amount of swearing is pretty common in Canada. It's honestly pretty weird sometimes, hearing Americans talk, and rarely swear.

In terms of the dialogue - it's funny because of how accurate it is to how rural Canadians talk. The creator of the show was from small town Ontario so it's only slightly exaggerated. I'm from the city but I live in Southern Ontario and have zero issues keeping up with them. Half the chirps in the show are a regular part of growing up here lol

You know that "sitcom" means "situation comedy", therefore, it did say it was a comedy!

The entire show is them actually chirping each other, thank youuuuu

The guy "on the left" is Jared Keeso the creator of the show. He plays two characters in the show. One is a farmer Wayne (brother to Katy), the other a hockey player (Shoresy), who is famous for his "chirping' - quick quips, to put fellow hockey players off balance - usually about having sex with someone's mother or sister. The hockey player, also has his own show, (also called "Shoresy" which has a completely different tone than Letterkenny, but is equally funny (sometimes moreso). The signature of both shows is the actual affection of the characters that come through in each episode. Few sitcoms have been created with more authentic heart than LetterKenny & Shoresy. Shoresy is a continuing series whereas Letterkenney sadly ended a few months ago. Yes, the show is 99% dialog. It works because you grow to love each character like an old friend. As for why they talk 'that way', wells sorry, buts I don't knows what you be's talkin' about Tyler, they talks likes everybody I knows. The true art of both shows though, is how effortessly they address Canada's unique English/French divide with honest affection. As for the vulgarity, where do you think Saturday Night Live got its "edge?". Canadian writers. Canadian's just aren't hypocritically cautious about saying the quiet parts out loud. I think that's why our comedy has always done well in the US. We just don't give much of a shit about traditional TV etiquette. We're polite not puritanical. The town of Letterkenney doesn't exist, but the town of Listowell Ontario, on which it is based very much does. Letterkenny very much IS rural life in Canada.

now he HAS to do Corner Gas. its Canada's Seinfeld!!!

Poor Tyler…innocence is all gone and scared for life after watching this.

Schitt's Creek is awesome, too

Oh fuck, welcome to Canada.

Kenny vs spenny is an absolute Canadian gem. Not sure how popular it was with the rest of the country but I absolutely loved it

The part that alot of people don't get is that Letterkenny is liked and only has like 6 episodes per season. They pack a lot into each eipisode unlike a lot of more traditional sitcoms. There is no laugh track or pause for laughter, reactions they just keep going. The cuts I think are becuase many of the cast probably crack up when doing scenes.

I recommend the Trailer Park Boys as well, and for a real treat - the Beachcombers. It's a really old show (1970s to 1990s) but it exemplified the west coast life. People still go to Molly's Reach.

The accent is from rural Southern Ontario, it's a condensed blend of canadian Celtic, British and french influence, with a large serving of Mennonite or Amish /Pensylvannia Dutch cadence on top. The humour is sharp and brilliantly gutteral, a very Canadian way to banter... and real..🤣🍁🤣 Loved your reaction!🌟

When people ask what the show is about, i cannot explain the concept, except, it is soooo Canadian and incredibly written. Jared Keeso is Wayne, the main character. I believe he is also the creator. And he also plays Shorsey, the guy doing the pull ups. But you never see his face. Proudly Canadian 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

For a moment I was gonna say "forgive us for assuming that most people would know that most sitcoms were comedies" and then I remembered a coffee place here once printed on their cups "if this were any other country we'd have to remind you that this coffee is hot. good thing this is canada!" and I thought "same energy" lol cheers from up north!

Day beers! The town of well constructed double entendres. Every generation of Canadians needs it own show.... Letterkenny, $chitt$ Creek, Trailer Park Boys, The Red Green Show, De Grassi...

You’ve opened a door to a national treasure, enjoy this show. Every single episode had me in tears.

Fun fact letterkenny actually started as a youtube show called letterkenny problems and it was perfection

100% watch the first episode in its entirety. This does the show little justice. Great reaction! Take care

I can confirm this is the accent and the more of us are together the more this comes out

The Canada Goose (aka "Cobra Chicken", aka "Feathered Death") is indeed a majestic creature...but don't turn your back on one. Cheers!

Corner Gas is along the same line of humor although far less rude. A Saskatchewan small town with small town issues, like, why does the men's bathroom at a gas station get so disgusting?

RIP all the canucks watching this, i was dying the whole time myself 🤣🤣🤣

Tyler unknowingly driving through Letterkenny is almost as funny as the show itself

Butter tarts are the best

You can never go wrong butter tarts.

The Mennonite, similar to Amish but use tools and vehicles, was Noah Dyck and his wife is Anita Dyck.

Tyler might try "Shoresy" - same creator, specifically focused on hockey in Sudbury. "This guy" is Jared Keeso, the head writer and creator. They really play up that Loyalist/rural Ontario accent, and Keeso loves word-play. All the Canadians I know say "fuck" all the time.

I only have one comment... As a Canadian.. you said you either love it.. or hate it.. but Tyler.. I am Canadian.. and never ever heard another Canadian say they didn't like or hated this show. I can't speak for how Americans would receive this show.. but for us... it's brilliant humour.. and the shock value is just part of it's charm for us... or maybe Canadians don't shock easily? I don't know.. but it's soooooooo loved up here!!! 🤣🥰🍁

This show is a perfect representation of rural Ontario living. Everyone I grew up with sounds like this.

The show had a grassroots birth outside of then normal television industry. The creators, developers and primary writers are Jared Keeso, who plays two characters; Wayne (the guy on the left) and Shorsey. The other creator is Jack Tierney, who also plays Pastor Glen. The town of Letterkenny is based on Keeso's life growing up in Listowel, Onatario. Throughout the entire run of the series, Jared Kesso continued to work with his father in their family business, The Keeso & Sons Sawmill in Listowell. Tragically, the Keeso & Sons Sawmill burned to the ground in 2018, with an estimated damage of $4 million dollars. The property has since been sold and rezoned for development by an agricultural manufacturing company.

You definitely need to watch an entire episode from start to finish. Such a great show!

Love this!! This show was filmed in my hometown, Sudbury ON!

Watching letterkenny clips without context is wild. U gotta watch full episodes

Jared is also in a Heritage minute about the hockey team going to war and two members didn’t come back and they won the first Olympic gold medal, he played the coach

Basically rural Canada in a nutshell. Corner gas is classic one. Also the first scene in this video is the first of the show.

Not one "that's what I's like about you" or "give ya balls a tug" in that series of clips. 😂

Schitt's Creek might be more up your alley.

😂😂Now I have to go back and rewatch this series 😅

they're actually talking about Katy's (the main character's sister's ) butter tarts

Tyler, you need to watch a whole episode or two to get what the show's about. Yes they curse like sailors on payday, but it's hilarious. And there are actually plots to each episode.

You should watch "Still Standing". It is about communities in Canada that have survived after major industries or changes happen but the communities find other ways to keep the community together and in fact some survive better. The ending show Johnny Harris speak to the community in a hall. It would show how small communities really are in Canada!

Love letterkenny reactions. Almost like watching it again for the first time.

You should check out some clips from SCTV - the TV program which grew out of the Toronto branch of the Second City improv franchise. You will see people like John Candy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Rick Moranis, and more getting their start, playing multiple characters per episode.

Hello from a resident of Listowel, ON which is what Letterkenny is based on. Jared was born and raised here and we can pick up on a lot of the veiled references to people and situations that show up! Jared is a very gracious and humble guy who really embodies small town Canada!

If I remember correctly, Letterkenny started out as short webisodes on youtube. And then it got syndicated. I think of it as being one of the most canadian shows, crudeness and all. it's up there with trailer park boys.

It's more funny when these scenes are shown in context of the show's storylines. Great picks for music during key scenes as well.

Bahaha, your face , Tyler!! I am dying here, not from the clips but from your reactions! And ya, the accent is pretty regional...I have lived from montreal to newfoundland, ontario and now alberta, and that accent and syntax I have not come across before.

It's Southwestern Ontario, Anglo/Mennonite country. Lots of Germans settled there in a previous century. Places like New Berlin got renamed in WWI to Windsor, Kitchener, Waterloo, etc.

Letterkenny is based on Listowel Ontario and the area. This is the area I live in. It's hilarious right down to the Mennonites! It perfectly portrays Perth County perfectly. The writers certainly knew Milverton for sure

For me, I'd rather be in Dog River. Meet me at Ruby's.

I live rurally in Ontario and when some locals get boozing the accent comes out

just started the video, that summary did NOT do this show any justice 😂😂

Growing up in BC. Every person I ever met from Ontario spoke like this.

I am so glad you covered this!!! Letterkenney and Shoresy (spin off) is fucking phenomenal!❤❤❤

Down the Letterkenny rabbit hole we go... 🥰

"this is maybe the most vulgar show I've ever seen" It is But it's also weirdly the most wholesome and heartfelt. For real.

Trailer Park boys had snoop dog and many others in it. You need to sit down and watch it ❤

Johnathan Torrens as noah dyck is fricken funny.... The boys face's as he says some pretty disguised vulgarity are priceless

You definitely need to watch Corner Gas.

I never met anyone who did not know what the word sitcom meant. 🤣

16:54 when Tyler starts channeling his inner Canadian

"This is the first clip you pick to show?" Bro thats the first scene we see 🤣

I've never seen this show before this. And I've been living in Canada for most of my life. And have you seen The Trailer Park Boys? The guy who played Jim Lahey, John Dunsworth, RIP, was my drama teacher!

You can catch the spin-off squeel 'Shoresy' where Keeso continues his ball-bustin' hockey character.

So Canadian 🤣😂 its is her butter tarts. It’s really hard to watch the clips without the whole episode lol

Even when watching something genuinely funny... Tyler feels the need to fake laugh. I think this guy is a robot.

This show was filmed in my hometown. Whenever I tell people where I’m from they bring this up

"These are their problems" is a reference to the opening of every episode of Law and Order. The last line the narrator says is "These are their stories." As another post Shoresy (Letterkenny spinoff) is all about hockey and when players insult each other or try and get at each other (someone mentioned this below) it's called chirping. Like in an NHL game: "Boys, Anderson and Crosby were chirping back and forth a lot, got Crosby bounced right outta there"...as in for the rest of the game.

Letterkenny is based off a real town in Southern Ontario about a 15 minutes from where I live. Listowel. Fun fact, all the characters are based off real people

I absolutely love the fact that you take the time to learn are culture. It’s very nice to know that a US American embraces are culture and loves to learn about it.

For those who want to watch Letterkenny and it's spinoff Shoresy, I believe it's on Hulu in the US.

Letterkenny was filmed in Sudbury, and the nearby town of Capreol. Capreol is a small railroad town, and I worked there for a while after first hiring on with the railroad. They used the area regularly for filming.

I'm so excited to see this. Been wanting Tyler to watch this for ages.

12:45 your face is priceless my dear friend from the south! Love it

I live in Nova Scotia Canada but never heard of this show lol

Just love LetterKenny!! It really depicts a rural community in Ontario!!

This reminds me of the Seinfeld idea of a show about nothing (but with more cursing).

When Letterkenny closed, it opened up to a new series called Shoresy which is another Canadian Comedy Series, with the same guy (Jared Keeso) playing the main character in that series, I highly recommend that you watch that series as well. The first clip of Letterkenny, the boys were getting chirped at by Wayne (Plaid shirt) and Daryl (blue work coveralls). The term Donnybrook means scrap or fight.

Tyler, Shorsy and Wayne are both played by Jered Keeso. In Letterkenny you never see his face for that reason

This is show is just the best. I can’t recommend it enough

You have to watch complete episodes, to get the concept.

This guy makes a living by making Canadians feel recognized lol!

Sitcom quite literally means situational comedy. To save time should you encounter it in the future, romcom means romantic comedy.

Tyler: "What is that accent?" ...That is an actual mid Canadian accent dialed up to 11.

Tyler, "sitcom" means "situation comedy"

For full appreciation you have to start watching from Season 1 Episode 1 as there are storylines and references that cross multple episodes and even multiple seasons. There are 12 seasons with 6 episodes each except seasons 7 & 8 which have 7 episodes each. The character "Shorsey" is also played by Jared Keeso, the guy in the plaid shirts (on the left, as Wayne) that's why Shorsey's back is always to the camera (or his hockey helmet visor is a dark grey) and his voice is comically high pitched, to sound different from Wayne. In the spin-off series "Shorsey" we do get to see him from the front. His character is a lot more fleshed out and his voice is bit more "normal" sounding.

Since you do know the show Degrassi Next Generation fun fact the guy that plays the Mennonite Noah Dycks play Emma's father ( Shane McKay ) in Degrassi Next Generation and he also plays Jay Roc in Trailer Park Boys

Letterkenny was filmed not far from my hometown … I grew up in rural Ontario and I can say this show is an accurate description of that indeed 😂

Been waiting for this one 🥰

😆 yep. Just talkin'. Hilarious though. That's rural talk!

Sitcom stands for Situation Comedy.

When this video showed up in my feed: Hey! Tyler is gonna watch Letterkenny! Oh no, our boy ain't ready. He's too pure for this. The show is very accurate; my family talks like this and we are hicks from rural Ontario. Also, there used to be a Letterkenny in Ontario southwest of Ottawa, but it's a ghost town now.

Watch a whole episode, rather than short clips to get a better understanding... A good one is fishin' in Queeebec

2:52 "I didn't know what to expect." Son, you still don't, but you will in a minute here.🤣 I always say that it's like if Aaron Sorkin wrote The Trailer Park Boys.

Just so you don't embarrass yourself again, The show is described as a 'SITCOM' which is American shorthand for SITUATION COMEDY... that's how you can tell its a comedy. Duh

Ok, maybe slightly exaggerated, but also hilariously accurate. ....Welcome to Ontario Loyalist country!!!! reminds me a bit of some of my in-laws LOL.
