@BAGEL FART "not s'bad"

John Martin PERFECTION

It's kind of like Clark Kent with his glasses on...

I Googled "What is Jared Keeso" really like. Not disappointed at all!

Omg that is exactly what I was thinking

“Nice onsie does it come in men’s?” “Oh I think you come in men’s enough for all of us.”

I heard he doesn’t like French Stewart 😂

LOL, i just watched that clip, and it comes entirely from this interview. Did the guy get a writing credit as he demanded?

Knows, mikey, knows

LOL!

Yeah, TIL what a bread dinner is 🤣🤣🤣

Cousin't

His accent is so Canadian. Rural Ontariah boy. I'm from a place about two hours from him, but my accent is not nearly this strong.

The accent is a Canadian thing. The language is just southern hick farmer slang ya dingus

TheRockindio this is all Canadian slang. Southern USA is stealing it now

very eastern canadian. I'm born and raised BC so I'm still learning the lingo.

You guys talk as fast as they do on the show?

How're you now?

A boy I'm Canadian and I could speak English in front of you to my friend and you wouldn't know a word I was saying.

"pert near" is a colloquialism that is alive and well here in Southern Appalachia. Love Letterkenny!

Really? I'm from CA and the hockey lingo is pretty close to surf lingo.

@@JCM3x3 Heard this one a lot growing up in the Wv hills.

Cuz it's Canadian.. Not English

@@ironmyno mispronouncing originally Irish place names!

@@ironmyno Canadian isn't a language bud lol . They still speak English.

@@zacmiles5342 Depends on where ya go, technically Newfs speack english but we all just say they are speaking Newfie

English is my second language but Canadian is about to be my third.

Ginger, you say? Allegedly.

To be faaiiirrrr 🎶 You wouldn’t be able to tell if his red beard was as full on account of his skin being nearly the same color.

Can you be sure he is a ginger without seeing the curtains and drapes and that they match? ;-)

superchief86 The least threatening way to say "You wanna fight!" ever

My son, if we ever had a racket I'd squat ya! (lol)

Shirts off boys

Donnybrook is a middleclass/upper class town in dublin, ireland! Im learning so much today

Nah the toughest man fights the other sides toughest man, and the actual toughest guy's dudes just pick up the straggler suckers son. You don't need suckers in a tough man fight. But anything is fair game at a bush party

Rob Evans yes!

Rob Evans Ricky Julian and bubs need there help and when a man asks for help, you help him. Corey and Trevor would have their birds up for katy. Would be hilarious.

Yes! A crossover! This needs to happen.

Fubar

Or, in keeping with the interview, any member of "22 Minutes"!

We also say "soft as a soup sandwich" I ❤ being Canadian 🇨🇦

I read that in an irish accent.

​@@Shanetangybits😂😂😂So did I. Every word!!😂😂😂

Ryan Chambers that's how we do!!

That has to be my favourite as well. This happened to my dad when we moved to Calgary (originally from Regina). He would be doing business with someone and say, "oh hey I recognize your last name, do you happen to be so-in-so's relative." He seemed to know everyone from small town Saskatchewan.

yeah, West Michigan is 'bout the same. They say you can connect anyone on the planet in 7 steps. It's at most 3 for West Michigan Dutch! We call it playing Dutch Bingo

Newfie thing too, I was talkin' about the town outside St. Johns were my dad grew up to a waitress, turns out she did too, recognised our family name

Isaiah Hekhuis hahahah right! I just played a game of seven degrees of West Michigan today

3Hands&Feet hahaha I thought that too! 😂🤣

😍

Samuel. Do your Chris Tucker. That one's the best.

Wayne: Yeah

Well actually I don’t think I’ve ever seen Wayne laugh other then when his drunk

That is not slang, it is an insult. I prefer "You're so 5-11"

@@Golfnut_2099 Well it's actually both an insult and slang.

Hello from a high school Canadian Studies teacher. Schitt's Creek wasn't on my students' radar and THAT English Canadian show won at least one Emmy. So Letterkenny is not even a thing. And yet I feel compelled to use this interview in class along with some inconvenient truths about English-Canadian culture: 1. Newfoundland English predates "Canada" by 300+ years. 2. American English predates "Canada" by 200+ years. 3. Newfoundland English is a blend of British languages, dialects and variants brought by colonizers and concentrated on a large, isolated rocky island. 4. American English is a mess of British languages, dialects and variants brought by colonizers and spread over a broad continent. 5. American English speakers have been migrating north since 1760, propelled by war, re-colonization, more war, genocide and more wars. Language migration without settlement began with The Old Farmer's Almanac and continues today via every media platform. 6. Newfoundland English speakers have been migrating west since 1950, propelled by poverty and global overfishing. Language migration without settlement began in 1969 with "Going Down the Road", followed by Stompin' Tom, CODCO, Great Big Sea, and "Republic of Doyle", and continues to this day with "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" and "Come from Away". 7. The similarities of rural (North) American English have survived centuries of standardization by colonial authorities up until the present day. And thank the thundering Lord Jesus for that, boy. CLASS DISMISSED

...let me present to you... " Jazz Cabbage"

Devil’s Lettuce

@@JesusFriedChrist basic

Derek Rumery and not being Squitin Tarantino

Honestly 😂

Wubalubadubdub.

It's definitely slang in the US rural Midwest too, probably migrated north from the South. I always thought it was spelled 'purt near' though.

Over yonder a piece, I reckon.

Where I’m at I generally hear “jus bout”

I always just heard variants of "damn near" where I'm from. Semi rural NC. "Dang near broke my arm fourwheelin' the other day" "Darn near had a heart attack when my jeep rolled"

@@LauraRossflyswatter Yep. 'I reckon' was also a big one. Funny how much of Southern/Appalachian English is so closely tied to the early English/Scottish settlers, i.e. 'breeches' became 'britches.' I've heard my grandmother (Tennessee-born) use the word 'dunning,' which is old English and which means money owed to someone, as well as using the word 'receipt' instead of 'recipe.'

Same. I'm hooked.

Yeah I didn't really know what I was watching at first, just that I wanted to see more. I'm halfway through season 5 now. Fortunately, the re-watchability of it is fantastic.

Same here, at first I was thinking too foreign, but I was hooked after a couple episodes

Faccts

Literally had to get up to speed the first season. I'm not sure if they purposely slowed the dialog for season 2 or if I just caught on.

Wayne's not robotic. He's collected. And I suggest you let that one marinate.

@@Nullllus no one asked for your suggestion bud, unless we ask for your suggestion, I suggest

He's better as Shoresy.

Me too and he's looking good

Ima Maia it beats fightin' dudes with treasure trails.

Dillon Reay What's with your body hair? You look like a 12-year-old girl! Your aesthetician coif that for ya? ;-)

You can kiss my aesthetician. *spit*

Dillon Reay You're doin' terrific

Nice execution.

He takes about 80% off for the show.

Kinda like upagain for against..

Same here in NC.

One side of my family has been born and raised in Tennessee for generations and the one that really gets me is "Gwon" as in "Gwon child, Gwon inner and gecha sum supper"

I hear it all the time in Montana and the Dakotas.

Torontonians wouldn’t.

@Usama therightsw I don't live in the US. I understood it fine. Blame Smokey and the Bandit or Cannonball run...along with realizing Texas is large.

Yeah, 10-4 has saturated pretty much everywhere.

As a truck driver myself it's funny to hear them use the phrase "good buddy" on the show because on the CB radio "good buddy" is how you call someone homosexual.

You should definitely watch it it's hilarious

Thomas Willard that’s like how it is in ST. Louis MO in the states😂 when you meet someone from STL, the first question is typically “Oh, where did you go to high school?”

You would say that tommy

@@yuyismama812 you know verb?

@@stemcells9381 lol I know what A verb is 😂

He’s a real good guy

Have you seen the Red Green Show?

Have you ever seen Trailer Park Boys? Or FUBAR?

Nah. Leg day gets the W boys

Fer da

Texas sizes 10-4

All day W's boys.

Let's go boys

I'm convinced that Jordy Peterson or Kermit the Frog is Shorsey's voice...or of course Wayne.

Found Glen's burner account.

Same. I think it’s because if you hang out with the right people different hilarious slang terms are being thrown around so often that we have to infer what is meant by context. Which is what I found I do with Letterkenny. Great show

I WAS UPSET WHEN I GOT TO THE END

WHAT DOES IT MEANNN

@@gabrielanderson6652 It means "for the boys"

Ferda BOIIIIIIISSSSS

Can also mean for the best

Im from ohio and have used it my whe life lmao

Minnesota here, y’know that state pert near Canada? We say it too. Iowegians* are just borrowing it. * lived in Des Moines 3 years, right behind the airport. So yeah, I can bag on ya.

Yeah, Canadians say that now because of American television. Seriously, that's where we got it from.

Kyle Fisher “allegedly”

Its amazing AF

jaden ippersiel we’ve heard it was a sick ostrich

@@slikrick5857 Allegedlies.

Totally read that as ginger bread. 😂

Electronic Wave TV glad it's not just me 😂😂

@@Blessed2bFresh Ha! Just a testament to how awesome the show is. =D

To be faiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir

@@ironfox4304 to be faaaaaaair~

Letterkenny quotes are now embedded in our everyday conversations lol

Same

We say ‘pert near’ here in the Pacific Northwest, too.

Like you barely missed the ditch “Pretty near, put it in.” but said more like two words “pertnear putinin.” Completely contracted.

Yep thought this was just us hicks in the south. Small world.

I thought it was funny!

Bryan Crumb “I thought it was pretty funny when I said Florida State seminal vesicles and nobody laughed” As a Florida Gator I especially enjoyed that

I thought it was funny when I said Florida State Seminal Vesicles and no one laughed

@@ryanalana4194 we often called them FSU semenholes

Go Noles

General Malarky makes more sense. A 10 ply tire is thick af

kennedy796 yeah but 10 ply toilet paper is mighty soft.

Right. Ply of t.p. Is the layers. Not softness.

Exactly.

Seriously? Even after how they used it in context? Y’all are dumb.

Robert Drinkwine this is so true especially being a small town Canadian that plays hockey

Amen to that. Great show with a great cast

Riley and jonesy don't even act they just banter back and forth saying the same thing in different words for each scene. It's quite annoying actually.

Dustin Bird I have said before that you could drop small town Ontario down in the South and it might take a few days for people to notice.

Ha. My family used it hear in Oregon growing up. And I still use it. The funniest part to me is I knew all the slang terms😂 Canada no different then us🇺🇸🇨🇦🥳

Georgia too, heard it all my life

Why thank you for watching and thank you for the kind words! Tom and the producers worked extra hard on this interview to make something fun and insightful.

And we LOVE Londoners over here! Is there any London slang that you would share with Jared?

@@QwithTomPower good luck understanding a word of it

You had me confused for a minute, London, Ontario is about 45 minutes away from Listowel. I didn't clue in that you meant London, UK.

rtql8d we have said that in Maine for so long hahaha

Where I'm from, a hundo is a hundred dollars, e.g. a "crisp hundo" is a fresh hundred dollar bill

@@littlesnowflakepunk855 you don't say..

We say it in many rural parts of the states as well...

Used over here in Kansas

I think this just country boy slang boys. Don't matter what country were from haha.

I've been from BC to Alberta and from northern Kentucky to rural Kansas and have never heard it used.

DonQuixote109 I am in Louisiana... extreme southern US and I hear it used here frequently.

Must be secretly Canadian lol

no canadians are the ones americanized from cloths to slang to accent the show is more like western american stiyle

Jeff Williams My husband grew up in Montana and he and his family all say it too :-D

Jeff Williams I say pert near here in Missouri too

yeah, the farm country culture through these areas don't have a border so much. Similar immigrant sources ( lots a German n' Dutch protestant) slang, lifestyles and outlooks. My Dutch/German in laws are farm stock, and use lots of these. Do you call a creek a crick and add 't' to some words like across and chef?

Robert Engler i was just about to say this!! 😂

Yes sir. "Plum near" is another we'ens use. "Pert near" is just a lil bit closer.

I’ve heard Pert Near all my life in Texas/Oklahoma. It’s just a southern thing.

I always heard it "pert night" or possibly "pert nigh it".

Yeah, it’s not just Ontario. I grew up in Alaska and often heard “purt near.”

lol

Thank you so much for enlightening us.

Wow just wow

@@wgooetrik this so much this

Caribou here!

I’m from Windsor/Palermo. Small world!

I’ve heard pitter patter here and there

It's the hard sound at the end of the words. It's easier and lazier to end with ee. Get me?

Oklahoma gang

Honestly all over mid to southern USA I imagine it’s used by almost everyone. Even on the west coast I hear people use it, as well as plum near or plum tired. It’s just not as common.
