Reaction To Letterkenny - Meet The Dycks

[@Fred-vy1hm]

"Men are talking Darryl." 😂😂😂

[@aerialarboreal9005]

The Father Dyck is played by Jonathan Torrens who was also J-Rock in Trailer Park boys!! Great Canadian actor... Plus! He also had his own talk show!!

[@cpaton1284]

I had no idea that was torrens, lol , he s always great

[@ScotiaSwagMusicLTD]

don't forget street sense... i always make fun of him for that hahaha

[@PnCBio]

The Dyck's sausage party is cllassic. Your appreciation of our dialog is mirrored by my appreciation of a Scottish bit of banter :).

[@adrianmcgrath1984]

I think one difference between Canadian and American comedy is the way the audience is treated? American comedy will almost always telegraph the joke, labour the set up, land the punchline and then pause and play a laugh track, after which its not uncommon to have one of the characters "realize" the funny side of what was just said and repeat it or point it out in exposition, to make sure that the lowest common denominator has got the joke. Canadian comedy tends to rely on the audience to keep up and even in shows which are gentler, slower paced, will not labour punchlines, it will even omit them assuming the audience can figure it out for themselves. In trying to think of American shows that pay their audience the same respect, I thought of NewsRadio and Larry Sanders - I hadn't realized that there was a connection. NewsRadio was a great show and in recent years has been beginning to get the respect it deserves - it was treated terribly in the scheduling and went sightly under the radar in its day. But I think the style and delivery were much more Canadian than American - and the show had two Canadians in lead roles. What I hadn't realized that the show creator for NewsRadio also did Larry Sanders and Flight of the Conchords.

I love that there is no annoying laugh track. I can figure out what’s funny on my own, thank you.

[@iangiles3360]

Mr Dyck is the same guy you liked on trailer park boys. The guy with the ball cap (J-Roc). Johnathon Torrens.

[@RogueKT21]

The Dyck episodes are some of the funniest episodes. First time I watched this I was in tears laughing so hard.

[@rodthebodfromcanada]

The actress playing Anita Dyck was also Lori Grimes on The walking Dead

[@1dilligaf]

I am 64 years old and I still have the same sense of humour as a 10-year-old

[@acidheadzzz]

We’re glad to see that you enjoy our sense of humour here in Canada. We take after our cousins in Britain with our love of comedy and laughter and we’re not afraid of getting dirty which might have something to do with why you don’t stop laughing. British humour brilliantly written combined with the polite stereotype of the British making it even more funny.

[@corinna007]

As someone with Mennonite heritage, I can only laugh at this. 😂

[@phniedwn]

I love this show. And the bits with dycks are some of my favourite bits.

[@CyFr]

Everyone loves these lovely Dycks.

[@FirstLastOne]

Yeah, the Dyck bits can be quite amusing.

[@Sian-me9wy]

Hilarious - love the fast pace of the show

[@dax9431]

Mert, you are SO so right! Had this only have been on a record, it would be JUST as funny! 50 yrs from now this will STILL be watched!

[@markhammer643]

1) Shot mostly on location in what folks in Toronto think of as "northern Ontario". 2) There is a 12 year-old boy in everyone that never goes away. You can read your Waugh, Shaw, Dickens, and even good old Sir Walter himself, but a good Dyck double entendre will always have one snorting milk out your nose. 3) Jared Keeso, the main protagonist in "Letterkenny," and essentially the show-runner, has a subsequent project entitled "Shoresy". Indeed, the Shoresy character himself shows up occasionally in Letterkenny, but off-screen. We hear his voice from the locker-room toilet. Shoresy maintains that same rapid-fire straight-faced uncouth dialogue, but has a stronger plot and generally much better writing, from a character-development perspective. It revolves around a minor league ice hockey team in the industrial (mostly mining) city of Sudbury (pop roughly 160k). If the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs were a British football team, they'd likely be in the National League or below. Shoresy himself (it's his nickname) doubles as a high school league hockey referee (the Bulldogs are nominally "professional" but many have side jobs to make ends meet; after all, that beer isn't going to pay for itself!). I'm sure you can find clips of it on KZbin. You'll enjoy it every bit as much as Letterkenny, maybe even more. 4) Like so many places in Ontario, Letterkenny is the name of a town in Northern Ireland.

[@christanzola8633]

The best line is “Men are talking Darryl”. Nothing to do with the dick jokes at all, once.

Anita Dyck was also on Prison Break

[@smexijebus]

Another amazing and super underrated Canadian gem is "Todd and the Book of Pure Evil". It's only got 2 seasons, but if you like metal or stoner comedies at all, there's really nothing else quite like it. It also stars Jay from the eponymous Jay and Silent Bob!

[@vinceaaron8921]

sure it's juvenile humour and that's what i appreciates about the show.

[@dpendsonwhat2441]

Amidst the childish poo humour, there is tremendous wit. It’s what makes it all work.

[@ricandes]

I have seen every episode of Letterkenny and can confirm It is one of Canada's best comedy shows ever. Check out some more or the interactions between members of the women's hockey team.

[@waywardmind]

You gotta react to the "Canada gooses" cold open. It's extraordinary

[@broughtonparkade5381]

We had a meeting. You’re allowed to be a Canadian.

[@tomthumb8914]

Most people don't realize that Anita Dyck is played by Sarah Wayne Callies who played "Lori Grimes'' on The Walking Dead!

[@ThomMorrison]

always a laugh when the Dycks' come out

[@Angelicus-p5p]

Dyck is a common Mennonite name, including here in the Fraser Valley. I've worked with a Dyck. And she was lovely.

[@christhornycroft3686]

This is a different kind of humour than Trailer Park Boys, but it's still working class. All innuendo and black comedy. Kind of reminds me of growing up with Are You Being Served with all the double entendres.

[@paddington1670]

ooohhh i loved Are you being served, great show.

[@Carma4001]

Ive known a Dyck or two. 😂 My best friend was a Dyck! 😂 Then she got married and dropped the Dyck and became a Lyck 😂😂. Truth be told, she now is a Dyck - Lyck! 😂😂

[@neilens1589]

My sister married a Dyck, and now she is also a Dyck. Their kids are all Dycks, too. Funny, but absolutely true 😂.

[@StephenAndrew777]

The guy with the white beard is actually the same actor who played J Rock the white rapper in Trailer Park Boys

[@louisewhite5663]

That's funny!!!!

[@SeanBMT]

Squirrelly Dan’s Relationship is probably my favourite skit of their’s. It hits so many stereotypes of Canadians and Americans during it and kind of a reverse thought that the Americans are backwards instead of the Canadians.

[@frankaq3951]

Great reaction, Mert! Cheers, from Canada.

[@tedheffern710]

Heres a few clips to check out Noah Dycks gash , Return of the DYcks, & Letterkenny vs Penny- Jugs

[@Schwabguitar]

The best of shorsey clips are also funny. You should do another full episode!

[@jdbankshot]

Hello Mert. Love your channel, eh. Here are a couple of my recommendations... Denis Lortie at the Quebec Assembly. Next, Montreal Canadiens vs. Quebec Nordiques, epic brawl of 1984. Enjoy!!!

[@vaudreelavallee3757]

Note that they chose Dyck, rather than Wiebe or Friesen for the Mennonite couple.

[@perrycomeau2627]

Well if your thinking of setting up a sodder house I''d meditate on Louis Riel.

[@iancanuckistan2244]

I haven't watched tv for years. It looks like I'm missing some entertaining Dycks.

[@gregkral4467]

Ah haaaah! right one dude. Anita played Carls mom in walking dead I think, looks a lot like.

[@BillTarling]

TRUE STORY: On a film set years ago in Toronto, I met a girl who was embarrassed about her last name... Her parents had emigrated to Canada long ago, and had the name "Dyke" [pronounced as in Dick Van Dyke]. The girl's name was Ivanna, and one of her brother's was Harry [pronounced 'Hairy' with the parents accent], and another brother named Richard [who went by the short name "Dick"]... The 3 of them got teased so much, that they hounded their parents for years to please change their last name. The parents didn't understand why their name Dyke should be causing so many problems, but apparently after quite a few years, they complied with the wishes of the kids, and legally changed their last name -- to "Dick" [thinking that at least was close to the original, and one of their kids already used that as his first name, so obviously that would end all the problems]. So things were made worse because now the kids' names are Ivana Dick, Harry ['Hairy'] Dick, and Dick Dick... At first I thought she was joking, so she showed her birth certificate and her current driver's license, and other ID which she had with her... turned out she wasn't joking and it was true. She said they can mostly laugh about it now that they were older, but they went through hell with all the teasing while growing up.

@@BillTarling We had Dyck Insurance in Edmonton, Alberta. I drove by it every day going to work. I always wondered why I needed insurance on my dick, lol.
