Letterkenny is a Canadian sitcom that was first published on YouTube under the name "Letterkenny Problems" before being picked up for a full series on Crave TV in 2016. It is currently streaming on Hulu.

"Letterkenny" revolves around the antics of the residents of a small rural Canadian community called Letterkenny.

Canon

Expanding from the web series, the series focuses on Wayne and Katy, siblings who run a small farm and produce stand, with help from Wayne's two friends: Daryl and "Squirrely" Dan. It also focuses on a pair of local hockey players, Reilly and Jonesy, who are involved in a polyamorous relationship with Katy.

Episodes deal with life in a small town, amongst different types of people: the farmers (the "hicks"), the out-of-towners who make up the local hockey team, the town's minister, the local drug addicts, also called skids (Stewart and Roald), and members of the local First Nation (the "natives"). Often plots revolve around Wayne defending his reputation as "the toughest guy in Letterkenny", the exploits of the perennially losing local hockey team, the various schemes by "the skids" to rip off the residents of both Letterkenny and a nearby First Nations reserve, and Wayne's various attempts to find love after his breakup with his high school sweetheart and partner of five years. In later seasons, the scripts feature wordplay and puns as a running joke to convey the intelligence of the small town characters.
