I don't watch HBO or whatever it's hosted on and black-mold-futures seems to hate it, and I'm barely online enough to understand half of what they spew into the air

        I've never actually seen that show, I just googled "most popular sitcoms 2023"

          Letterkenny is one of those shows that works better as 3 minuet segments than as the full episodes it actually is.

            It true. It's like if Homer turned Jay and Silent Bob in to an epic.

            Mostly it's just really fast paced wordplay jokes and dudes rock.

              I have a soft spot for Letterkenny, despite not really watching it. I've met most of the cast when i was living in the region the show is filmed in.

                It's heart seems to be in the right place. "Look at these silly hicks ha ha they have mostly good politics and are kind people who care about their friends and community". It turns the country bumpkin thing on it's head and they're all smart, clever, principled, etc.

                  It does remind me of the area i grew up in, mostly union people, farmers, and ndp supporters. Not exactly the most educated bunch, and on the older side, but they seemed to try.

        Eh, I haven't seen this show but I don't give lib media much credit for saying "punch (blatant) Nazis!" It's pretty easy to advocate for punching people with literal swastika tattoos, everyone hates them (unless they're in Ukraine). Thing is they're fine with fascist behavior when it had the cloak of western liberalism over it.

        It's like a dude who gets really agro about how he wants to murder pedophiles but then doesn't give a shit about his guy friend creeping on barely legal girls at punk shows. Yeah it's easy to hate the guys who literally yank elementary school girls into white panels vans bro, everyone gets that's wrong.

        Hey I learned how to do the "dragged by the hair" stunt back... uh... I actually have no idea. But I know how to do it!

        It is quite likely that some of our faves are implicated but we must follow the facts and let the chips fall where they may

        Letterkenny is probably okay.

        "We don't practice violence"

        "We do"

        Is just the perfect exchange when talking about Nazis in society.

      Yeah I'd say it's fascist in the Phil Greaves sense and not many others.
