Please Like My Thing: Letterkenny

"Letterkenny - Cold Open" (Watch on YouTube)

You may have seen this floating around; it's the opening of the first episode. They're always titled "Cold Open" on Youtube and I love them for that; they just dump you into the scene and let you figure out what's going on yourself.

A beautiful show made of rural Canada is going on, that's what. It's fighting and drinking and smoking like you can't do on US TV; it's hicks and skids and hockey players.

I grew up in sorta-rural Michigan and this show gets me nostalgic, I feel like I went to high school with all of these people.

The humor tends toward wordplay and dick jokes and the kind of "drag out the joke reaaaaaaaaaal long" like sometimes they do on Brooklyn 99. It's just . . . it's silly, it's small-town, it's super Canadian. Please like it.

The first two (6-episode) seasons are streaming on Hulu, and there are a lot of scenes and short pieces on youtube.

The fic fandom is super-small (89 works on AO3 right now), but there are some nice gems in the "rural dude figures out how to be gay" vein. Also I wrote sex pollen and it's the 8th highest kudos'd work, THAT IS HOW SMALL THE FANDOM IS.
