Letterkenny

Wayne is a stubborn, good hearted farm hand who fights to keep his homegrown lifestyle intact as the world around him shifts. In the town of Letterkenny, Ontario, life centers on three cliques who define the local vibe: the working class Hicks, the trouble loving Skids, and the hockey obsessed players. Instead of big adventures, the show leans on petty squabbles and banter that spiral into playful feuds and slim scale battles of wit and pride. Through dry humor and sharp reactions, residents negotiate loyalty, neighborly codes, and the quirky ways people manage small town life, work, and friendship. The humor comes from deadpan reactions, practical wisdom, and the way everyday exchanges reveal character without needing big plot twists.

Letterkenny began in 2016 and was created by Jared Keeso. The series expands from his Letterkenny Problems web sketches into a full blown Canadian comedy about rural life, misfit neighbors, and the small town dynamic that holds everyone together.
