I love it when Canadians are so Canadian they're almost Irish.
@@faithbrown4554 Knows.
Pitter patter
Better let that marinate
Well we’re mostly Scottish, Irish and English. And in Ontario it’s more Irish and Scottish then English
There's a lot of Irish that settled in the upper Midwest, including Ontario, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois. Culturally, show Letterkenny is EXTREMELY Midwestern. Irish-Americans/Irish-Canadians have really taken to the show and its no surprise as to why.
Best thing ever come out the Hulu. Fer us mericans.
ferda
Hard yes
can confirm, super chieftain.
That’s a Texas sized 10-4 big shooter
@@ebgamez1458 over and out
The dude doing interview said it’s weird America got the humor .
As an U. S citizen letterkenny has showed me small town life is wide spread
I don't think they realize how American it is to be so insanely Canadian. 😂 (Small town girl here. 😂🙋🏼♀️)
If you go to the military most everyone from small town has figured it out.
I'm in America in a small town two hours from Listowel so I related hard
Word bro, rural South Alabama here. Letterkenny dead on, except exchange football (not futbol) for 'haw'key and really hammer the "W" in the "out" words instead of "ooot".
Very much like very rural Georgia
never seen Waynes eyes open so far
He's on an episode of Psych. I had to do a double-take when I saw him.
@@michaelcarranza24 what episode? I dont remember seeing him
@@bojanglesthewizard8875 season 5 episode 1, I believe.
Michael Carranza ep 4
One of the better Keeso double takes is when I kept seeing him pop up in early seasons of Smallville.
Super fan of the show. Super thanks to Hulu bringing it to us Americans
That's what I appreciates about you ❤
Can confirm
And thanks to RUclips recommendations for bringing it to a Malaysian. Much of the cultural nuances goes over my head but I just gotta let it marinate.
Big facts just discovered it im fully addicted
Yo super chief, Canadians are American too. They live in North America.
Low brow... Hmm. It's like the highest brow low brow show ever. It is SO clever with word play, rapid fire alliteration bordering on poetry, and culture/situational dynamics. It's one of the most unique shows out there and deserves the credit it gets.
My thoughts exactly when I heard that.
I hear you, but on the other hand fartbook
@@sammay9961 That was definteily the weakesst episode. Had its funny moments, but christ I hated it
@@sammay9961 Almost not even worth thinkin' about.
It’s a gemtastic winner.
He's wearing McMurray's too tight white tee.
Love this
That's how he dresses lol just like McMurray
“Too tight” isn’t really a thing when you’re built like an MMA fighter lol
@@lrc4263 Exactly... it is called "Extra Medium"
“Medium, extra husky” 🤣
I'm from the Southern US & dig the show because of how much it reminds me of growing up in small towns
YESSSSSS. My town is literally... Letterkenny South. 5000 people... and we all know eachother... its life at its best!
I'm from a town of 4000 northern California and this show is hilariously relatable to me
Grew up in a very small town in GA. Only one stop light. This shows remind me so much of home
Same! I'm from a small town of about 700 in SW Missouri and letterkenny represents the small town feel very well lol
Same. Reminds me of my small town and surrounding small towns in Alabama.
One American who loves Letterkenny - check
European here. I bet we can do all continents!
Texas here, love the show.
Iowa/California.
Michigan here. Favorite show I've seen in years.
WNY, Delaware, Japan. I love videos of kids falling off bikes.
Jared has got one of the most purest Canadian accent I've ever heard in my entire life
Whatcha Try'n ta say there Eh?
Accent? I’m from the Listowel area... I don’t have an accent do I ? 🤭🇨🇦💜
...whole entire life?
sounds kinda newfie
*Eastern Canadian
We sound nothing like this in the west really... Though we have enough Newfies out here you'd never know it. Haha
I'm from Listowel, and I remember when Jared came and spoke to my drama class. One of my best memories.
thats sounds awesome.
OMG how did you hold it together? He's so freaking handsome
So jealous!
You have the exact same name as my Oklahoma drama teacher
I grew up in Listowel with Jared.My friends parents worked at this families saw mill, Went to the same public school and high school as him.Go Lightning! Go Cyclones!
I grew up in a town about the same size as Letterkenny in Australia, and this show is still so accurate. There's something about small country towns that Jared has been able to capture so perfectly. Love from Australia!!!
Small towns are the same no matter where. I grew up in a small town in the states. The jokes resonate.
@@FXIIBeaver Bad gas travels fast in a small town, indeed
Can confirm (UK)
I grew up in the same city that the show is shot in (Sudbury - and Im actually from a small town 10 minutes outside with a population of 6k). And its hard to believe its not based entirely on our lives here. But knowing you feel the same is what makes this show magical - it gets small town life.
"Nice field of wheat there"
"That's barley"
This kills me! Ahahaha!!!
That Craig Gibson impersonating was bang on.
"Look all these piles of straw!"
"That's hay."
"Then what's this?"
"Straw."
8:34
Love this runner
Thank god this series came to the U.S. you’ll never see another show in the history of television that’ll have the perfect cast with perfect chemistry like Letterkenny. Absolute masterpiece.
don't forget about TPB!
With JRoc a part I’m praying for a crossover of some kind..🤞
I’m straight, but every time I see Jared Keeso I can’t help but think to myself, “god damn that is a handsome man.” 😂
I'm ace and I couldn't agree more.
Hearing Keeso talk about Summer Heights High and the huge Australian Letterkenny following makes so much sense. Canada has always been North North Australia to me and the humour has always translated so well.
Australia bas always been South South Canada acctualy
So happy hulu picked this up. American, Oregonian here and this show applies to all countries,
Love it. Gotta say shoresy has me rolling everytime hes on.
Shoresy is hands down the best chirper
Can confirm. This show resonates here in Louisiana as well.
Fun fact jared plays shorsey
Shorsey sounds like a leprechaun 😂
fellow Oregonian here, and yes...this reminds me of the small town folk all over the US.
The small town Ontario accent and the Newfie accent in a conversation is why I love my country
The Newfie accent sounds downright Irish to me.
@@ants_in_my_eyes_johnson6844 It should, it's kind of New Ireland. St. Patrick's is a provincial holiday.
I live a few km of Listowel Ontario... every time I pass his dads saw mill I smile that this small town guy made it and Huge!!! 🇨🇦✌🏼💜
I can't believe I just found this show. Watched all 7 seasons in 3 days....
I’m working on it now lol I’m on season 2
thats exactly what i did
8 sessions now
*seasons
How do you get it in Australia?
I was one of those American's that "procured" access to the show early on in a manner that is questionable, but that's only because it was literally unavailable every other way. Then, Hulu picked up and I re-binged the entire show. Have turned a lot of my fellow Texans on to the show over the years.
Ayeee. Us Texans aren’t hard to turn on to this show are we lol. All I ever gotta say is: “Just watch the first scene,.”
ALLEGEDLY questionable
Another Texan here that mysteriously found the show. We could almost word for word repeat the show.
I hadn’t even heard of the show until I found a few clips on RUclips a couple of weeks ago. I have since watched all 9 seasons twice in the last two week.
I'm in PA and the same story. I heard about it and saw a few "shorts" on youtube and had to get it the questionable way until Hulu finally picked it up! Freakin love it and got a bunch of friends hooked on it too!
This show is extremely relatable to us West Virginians. Goes to show how deep the Irish/Scottish heritage runs
Appa-lach-ia-ah
I'm from north England and absolutely fucking love this show. It's got grit, it's got humour and it's got heart. And Wayne, fuck, everyone has to love Wayne.
well im canadian and grew up on uk comedy...benny hill some mothers do have em the two ronnies are you being served monty phython fawlty towers so its a honour you brits love canadian comedy
Dudd, Settle down there squirlly Dan. :) Being my parents emigrated from England after the War II I grew up with the same, Benny Hill, Two Ronnies, Some Mothers Do "ave'm", and the Carry On movies. Much of Canadian comedy can find its roots in British comedy. Love this show. Welcome England!!
Wayne's sister is HOT!!!! I'll take her instead!! 🥰🤩😍😍😊😊
It makes us laugh down heres in the California and that’s what I appreciate about its
Ever had Tacos in L.A
Wayne wants the dog back after you're through
Oh so that's what you appreciate about it
Take it down to 80% there Katherine
Gary no it’s what she appreciate about its
letter kenny is pure genius and poetry to anyone who is analyzing it
Best Canadian show of all time!
I dunno man. TPB is hard to beat.
You're right, you really can't compare them...They are all great shows...Have you seen Keeso's other show 19-2
Christopher Hurst TPB was a really good show. but the last 2 or 3 seasons were sub par
halifax vs ontario....kids in the hall hello ontario humour rules
watched a few episodes of the french version before i found that one
I love how both these guys, from different parts of the country, in different sectors of the entertainment industry, just both happen to "Know Danny Bridger."
Canadianest thing that ever Canada'ed
Jared Keeso is the prime example of a perfect man 😍👌🏻
Agreed!!!
That's big Texas 10-4!
Baylee Winkler amen
Can confirm
Need you to take 20 percent off the top there.
Australia loves Letterkenny, thanks for the shout-out to Chris Lilley and Summer Heights High, he's quite a talent
From America here, and we watch this regularly at work.
jerry chizmadia how I can't get it in the us
jerry chizmadia get me a job at your work
The internet is a wonderful tool
HULU NOW!
get back to choring
So that's the origin of the "That's barley" joke. I love it.
I thought the same thing
Letterkenny dives into what other channels would shy away from. I’m here for it all!! I love the show !
"It's not unlike working in a crew at a sawmill" I love how he says this as if it's a totally relatable thing.
Derek Henderson it is where I’m from in Kentucky 🤷🏻♀️
It is in Oregon
To a lot of people it is 😅😂
Not since Arrested Development have I gave a shit about a tv show. Brilliant. The cast seems to be having as much fun making it as I have watching it.
As an American who grow up and currently lives in a rural small town, Letterkenny hit that sweet spot of perfect rural comedy that I have never seen American shows achieve
Living in PA, Letterkenny hits really close to home. I friggin' love it!
I'm from Southwest Oklahoma and the characters and atmosphere of this show is basically a Canadian version of my home town. Love the show.
Christian V im in moore, an okc suburb and i too love this show.
So glad Hulu picked this up! From Minnesota, so a lot resonates with me including a lot of the slang!
Minnesoooota
Minnesnowta Here also
I want to drive up north a couple hours to see how similar Canada is to small town Minnesota...
@@Potto-ek3ww most of Minnesota is Letterkenny
People from Minnesota literally sound like they belong in Canada. Not surprised about the similarities.
I’m from Detroit (north of Windsor) and I love and totally “get” Letterkenny!
Same here growing up in port Huron in the 80s and early 90s
Sacramento, California... I LOVE this show.
I love how they are stuck focused on bullying and making sure that it isnt a part of their show and I respect that. Love the show for sure
It really makes me think of the fight at the season 1 finale differently!
Really if u hear what he's saying is that most things aren't bullying, there is a line. Our society has just turned everything into bullying unfortunately. Most everything we did as kids was exactly chirping nothing else. Nowadays people can't even handle that, that's why this show is awesome truly
Letterkenny got me through my deployment. I love this show!
Just seeing your comment now, but same here super chief 🤙👍
The show that he mentions 'Summer Heights High' is Australian and it's one of the funniest shows ever. We Australians get this humor and this show is so funny. Canada has some good comedy. Schitts creek is another great show.
Jonah Takaluah 😆😆
This American loves Chris Lilley and Jared Keeso.
BIG fan from sweden here, found out about the show 500 years after everyone else. But it took me three days of sickness to go through 12 seasons, it is just magical and super unique. A major hats off!!!
Blowin away by this dude. I am grateful for his Canadian and especially Ontario representation!!! Not very often that you can enjoy entertainment and picture it as it is less than an hour away from where you live your life.
Australians like myself are watching the first two seasons on SBS on Demand (the SBS channel's official online streaming channel). Only seasons 1-2 are on there but I hope we can see more seasons soon.
Now we're up to season 7 just missing 8!
Letterkenny season11, still going strong. It's resonating with people all over. Sweden chirping in: nice ginger trimmed beard there Jar-jar.
I am a German living in Sweden. I somehow found the show and love it.
Absolutely love this show, and I'd always heard that Canadian and Aussie humour sometimes can be quite similar and I loved this show. A lot of the humour is so relatable, just different accents. Also love Keeso, he's a legend!
Letterkenny lover from California! US needs to figure it out!
707king fuckin figure it out bud
ats what i says, figure it out
Gonna wants to gets you a taco and a hike if you're in L. Ayy
@bbb safh L. Ayy.
To be fairrr
Satire is the category for this even more than comedy; The hard subjects, great writing and characters. Canada's Norman Lear here.
Discovered the show by accident and I'm currently on season 8.
Excellent show and great music. I'm in Europe btw. Keep them coming.
I'm Australian and love this show and the moment it's available on DVD I'll certainly buy, because it's the funniest most original thing I've seen in forever!
when he said "that's barley, jared" I got chills, haha!
".. a handshake that can lift you right off the ground."
"all this talk of newfieland is givin me the warm tinglies."
"knows kenny knows"
I was just thinking about this bit, yeah. I wonder if that's where it came from
@@Engitainment had to lol he just learned about it here
as a canadian from brussels ontario, living in australia, i can say ive been more than stoked to show anyone over here this show
3:20 When Canadians carve someone, we're doing it to help them out. It comes from a good place. Basically a real Canadian chirp is one friend pointing out what you need to work on bud, to be a better person.
Aww
Ferda
I'm down here in the Panhandle of Florida and love the show. It speaks to small town America.
I just stumbled across this show last week on Hulu and my son and I are binge watching 11seasons. It’s kind of our thing, bonding over certain shows cause we have the same sense of humor. I absolutely loved shoresy as well. ♥️
It’s so weird to see him not squint...
Well Dr. House eventually developed a limp...
I've pertnear watched all six seasons 15 times since Hulu aired it.
Yep, we Aussies also can get Letterkenny, and it's fully legal too! One of our government stations streams it free of charge, plus reruns are broadcast on tv. Characters are so relatable to us. Plus, the patriotic love of Canada geeses is on par with our deadly range of vicious birds.
But it’s the Canada Goose that’s the envy of all ornithological creatures 😉
I’m from New Zealand, and I LOVE this show.
I’d bet every Kiwi would get the humour.
I'm from NZ too...keep trying to get my friends to watch it, it's awesome as
In Australia, SBS started streaming it. The first scene I saw from letterkenny was Squirrely Dan, Wayne and Darryl talking to the 3 girls in Letterkenny vs Penny. I thought it was just gonna be a series of filthy jokes continuously but it's really not. There's a lot more heart than I thought there would be and it was amazing. I thought Letterkenny was a masterpiece, but Shoresy (the tv show) was wayyyyy more legendary imo
Tom's Newfie accent came out more and more throughout the interview XD
I was raised in a small town in Illinois and this show brings back a lot of memories
The best part of this interview is that they have mutual friends haha! So Canadian
Just on the topic of where folk watch from, I'm from Belfast, Northern Ireland and love the show!
I think most people from small towns over the world can find something relate-able about it.
large amount are english as well, depends where you are the east coast is mostly irish
Ghostcupcake There are more People of English descent, especially Ontario. The majority of white Canadians do come from a U.K. or Irish background though.
I'm from East Coast Canada, on an army base, and the slang is spot-on, as we get guys from Ontario and Newfoundland making up a good portion of our unit. Everyone here loves the show, and my aussie fiance thinks it's amazing.
Alastair Nixon
I imagine the Hockey Players chirping must be a lot like your rugby & hurling dressing rooms?
Yea, But I imagine you get chirping is most team sports around the world. I actually play American Football haha, theres a whole Irish league.
Jared makes Canadians proud. Good for him ya know?
thats what i said. good for him
Can confirm.
That’s a Texas sized 10-4
He's a funny guy and you knows thats whats I appreciates about em
l1m0b0at is that what u appreciate about him
Hey, I'm a screenwriter from England. 'LetterKenny' is the most well-written show I've watched in decades. Definitely travels.
Letterkenny season 8 the Newfoundland slang made it in !!!
LETTERKENNY is now screening legitimately in Australia. But only the first four seasons.
It's amazing how funny Littlekenny is, too---especially, once you get to know the characters!
Keeso, enjoy it, dude. You earned it! You are a BRILLIANT creator, writer, and actor! Well done!
Also, the interviewer is an outstanding interviewer.
Summer Heights High was amazing... I love that Jared got some influences from that show. So awesome!
As a fellow born in the hospital of letterkenny " listowel" with my grandma waiting across the street in her house , I approve this message.
Australia loved this show at this time 100%. Big up Jared for the shout to Summer Heights!! Amazing he knows that show! Best thing RUclips recommended in years!
I'm from New Zealand and I love this show :D. It shows the humour that can be found in rough rural lives.
I was introduced to the show during Christmas week. Im on season seven and loving it.
Was introduced to it a few months back. Binged it in a day. Love that dang show, keep making new ones
I’m from Strathroy, so learning Jared played hockey there is so cool! I can’t stop binging this show - thank you! Keep it up - you’re bringing the world together under our southern Ontario umbrella.
This show is so awesome I fell in love with the 1st episode and am continuing to binge watch
We really enjoy Letterkenny here in the Southern part of North America. Cheers to Canada 🇨🇦
I'm from Nebraska and the USA and this is hands down my favorite show especially the chirping
Heck I'm from Illinois and we say pert-near all the time.
i'm fae scotland but was workin in naperville recently, and i heard a few folk say "pert-near". i liked it.
I'm from around that area. Can confirm. (that's another I use quite a lot too)
I'm in Peoria. I hear it a lot surprisingly.
If you said it where I grew up in very eastern Kentucky, people would also understand it, even if they don't use it all the time. I think it's more universal than people think.
I'm from Antioch, I joined the army and have lived in Oklahoma for the past 3 years. This show takes me back home so much
I'm from Australia and I love the show, always excited for new episodes.
I was a year back from Jared but it was one hillarious place to grow up and go to school.
That was one of the most canadian things I've watched. It was so wholesome. Also, a lot of those terms have migrated their way into Michigan.
To be fair, legal prucurement in Australia is hard, I even tried to vpn my way into a crave account but they only let you use Canadian credit cards.
Fuckin love the show though bud, top work.
WizardAngst fuckin right bud!
WizardAngst kodi is your friend ;)
To be faaaair
Top shelf, where the peanut butters at.
To be faaaaaaaiiiiir.
This is like the pg-13 version of Corner Gas. Love both of these Canadian comedies
From the UK here and can't get enough of the show
I live in Portland Maine and I love love love this show! I've seen all seasons and I turn it on whenever I can't find anything else.
I'm in Arizona, USA, and everyone I've shown this show to is hooked. From any walk of life. I'm on my 3rd time through every episode. They actually get funnier with each viewing.
L K ... I’m over in south Scottsdale, and this is probably my favorite show. I’ve seen seasons 1-6 four times. 😂
@@APcaveman omg that episode season 8 where the guy is talking about the poop on the toilet, hearing him repeat everything 4x, that episode is funnier every time I watch it!!!
@@APcaveman have you seen seasons 7 or 8?
Absolutely cannot believe Keeso likes Summer Heights High, that’s so cool. much love from Aus.
Bread dinner, all hands, and knows have all made it into the show since this interview.
Irishman in Sweden, just discovered Letterkenny a few days ago. Fantastic. 🇮🇪🇸🇪
So that's the history of "That's barley."
I absorbed all 11 seasons of this show in about a week recently. The crazy thing is that it reminded me a lot of growing up in northern NJ. Some things about small towns are just universal I guess.
This plays really well in Iowa.
can confirm
Texas size 10-4 good buddy
Hard yes
Im from a small town in Indiana, USA. My wife and I love it. Everytime we hear "to be fair." We have to follow suit.. We need more seasons. Pitter-patter!
Letterkenny is funny as hell. In south west of Australia there is a town called Donnybrook and we also use Donnybrook as in a large fight. Worlds apart yet closer than anyone can imagine!!
