As part of its conception, Letterkenny is designed to be a show about intelligent people. The characters in this small town may use unusual language and speak with an accent, but nearly every member of the town has a deep grasp of worldly topics and some skill for wordplay. This helps with the show’s comedy, but it also subverts audience expectations about rural areas of the world. 

Instead of suggesting that the residents of Letterkenny are intellectually deficient, the show does the opposite. The comedy doesn’t come at the character’s expense. Instead, they’re the ones telling the jokes. 

Letterkenny is one of the funniest shows on TV, and like Schitt’s Creek, it’s proof that Canada can crank out great sitcoms if the world wants to watch them.
