I love this joke because the dialogue in Letterkenny is like 100 words per minute and then they just MENTION the ginger and it goes from 100 to 2 in a matter of seconds
The best part of this joke is how defense Dan is. It reminds of Archer when his mom kept on saying innocent phrases that could be taken as sexual innuendos, and Archer kept yelling “phrasing!”
I love how stoic the ginger and Boots are. All the ginger does is nod. Once. And Boots just does the one handed clap. That all. Never a single line between the two of them. Just a single nod, and a one handed clap. No reaction to being called ostrich fuckers. Nothing.
He might not care either way. Whether he's done it or not, he's obviously not shunned from/disadvantaged the community he lives in, so the conditions of the ostrich-f*cker title were apparently alright with him in the long run.
OMG this is awesome! I got a shirt that says "allegedly" because I'm a paralegal. But I'm also a Ginger! My best friend laughed and laughed when he saw it and told me about this. This is so funny
By show of hands: Am I the only one who, up until the last episode of Season 7 when they were both seen side by side in frame, thought that “The Ginger” and “McMurray” were the same person? *No spoilers below for the stragglers, please! Let’s not go spoiling the season finale for anybody. Before you go gettin’ too excited, go have a Puppers, bud.*
Not entirely sure it wasn't. Let's face it, we never heard WHO started the rumors, and McMurray's the kind of self-absorbed shit who I could see doing it as some fucked-up test of his masculinity. Personally, I wouldn't put it past McMurray to committing the crime and then FRAMING the ginger. I mean, all it would take is McMurray deciding to do it on a night where the ginger was visiting his cousin (which, if you remember, was the owner of an ostrich farm). The ginger, hearing some noises out by the ostrich pens, told his cousin he was going to check on them, and went to investigate. McMurray got found out, and the truth would have gotten out, if not for McMurray's accomplice and the second person needed to subdue the ostrich: McMurray's wife, who has, in the past, demonstrated a willingness to follow his lead (especially at that point in the series). She caused a distraction, catching the ginger unaware and leaving him temporarily vulnerable. It's doubtful that McMurray himself managed to catch him with a good enough cheap shot, but it IS quite likely that, in that situation, the McMurrays could simply released the ostrich, which, after being forcefully restrained and violated, was certainly in an ill temper and more than willing to lash out at anyone within reach. The ginger's tough as hell, but as it's him against the McMurrays AND the ostrich, he got overwhelmed. With the ginger down and the ostrich having tired itself out with all the struggling (which could, to an untrained observer, make the animal appear sickly), all that was left to do was pin it on the ginger, their giftwrapped scapegoat. ...Wayne's right; best not to think about it.
So, I learned from my friend who is a vetinary technician something that adds a whole new layer of complexity to this scenario. It has been observed that Male ostriches are sexually attracted to the human farmhands on ostrich farms - [they speculate its possibly because of the plaid shirts] so, not only would another person being involved totally unnecessary but it would be consensual [STILL A FELONY]
Thank god the Hicks got to know JB and Tyson better in later seasons, so they could call them for back up. Can't be calling guys who fuck Ostriches to watch your back man!
Following up on a comment I left elsewhere, I typed "squirrelly dan allegedly" into the RU-vid search and this was the first result, A++ work providing this referential touchstone 👍👍
