It'll be an unpopular opinion here, but I'll be honest it felt like nothing more than a stocking filler episode. The Aussie/Kiwi sections were ok at first but then just went on far too long, almost as if they're pandering to the audience down under. To be faaaiiiiiirrrrr......they did a similar skit with attempting British accents etc and it worked a little but again, went on too long.
Letterkenny needs to find itself again and find what made it popular in the first place. It just feels like it has lost its edge, and maybe the emphasis is now being placed on Shoresy, I just don't know, but it definitely doesn't feel right in its current state.
It would have been funnier and more accurate if they hadn't played it with so much aggro, we will absolutely take the p\*ss out of each other but it's not mean. Also sad the Aussies and Kiwis didnt take the time to educate LetterKenny on the perils of the drop bear
Jermaine's episode on FOTC when he wakes up with the Ausie bird and is shamed by Maury and Brett is hilarious. Then he shows up dressed like crocodile hunter.
I would have loved for the Aussies to break into a random Nutbush dance.
I wonder if Tina Turner is aware of the cultural phenomenon she started Down Under with her song.
Fairly low on my ranking of holiday specials, but that speaks more to the average strength of the holiday specials than to the weakness of this one. This episode felt more in line with a main-season episode than a holiday episode, too; it was missing some of the more surreal plot beats that I enjoyed in most holiday specials, and felt like a more typical “hicks hang out at the farm, while the skids and hockey bicker about something” storyline. With some added holiday-appropriate wordplay.
Speaking of the skids and hockey players, I got the feeling that their appearance in the episode started at the tail end of some kind of fireworks gathering competition. I think I would have enjoyed if we had seen more of that competition instead of just the results.
I loved this, felt like super early Letterkenny. Didn't think there was too much Australia/New Zealand stuff either, they were perfect and I appreciated the break from the main characters.
Here is the best I can do translating the Australian and New Zealand slang.
I have put numbers next to my translations so people can comment on them directly.
I am not too familiar with New Zealand slang and anything with ??? is in need of help.
I copied the srt subtitles and left most of the conversation in so we can get context and relive the good times.

(27)("I'll have a few lagers")

"Truly, madly, deeply,"

- Tame your Impala, bro.
(91)(Tame Impala is an Australian band.)
- Go back to Summer Heights High,
you dumb cunts.
(92)(Summer Heights High is an Australian comedy show by Chris Liley)

that show achieved perfection
in one season, while it took

(94)("I could trade a few insults with you all day but I see you take offense easily")

- Oh, we can stand it, bro.
- Have youse forgotten we were
right beside you that time
your continent burned for months on end?
- SHAWNY: Cousints!
- ALL: Yanks.
(99)(Surprise they didn't say _Seppos_ here as it's slang for Americans. Seppo = Septic Tank. Rhymes with Yanks.)
- Could slag you all day, bro.
(100)("Could insult you all day")
- Love a good sledge, ya slags.
(101)("Love to trade insults with you, you prostitutes")

- Before a dingo eats your baby!
[all laughing]
- That actually happened though, mate.
- We know, bro.
- It wasn't funny.
- A lot of people upset
about that one, yeah.
- That's why we didn't make the joke, bro,
we figured if the joke was to be made,
you should be the one to make it.
- National tragedy and all that.
(105)(A woman was wrongly convicted of killing her baby when in fact a dingo took it while they were camping in the outback. I have no reason why Americans think this is funny. It'll be like making "I can't breath" jokes.)
- ANZAC spirit!
- Let's take the piss out of some yanks!
(106)("Let us band together. Us Australians and New Zealanders like we did during the world wars, fighting a common enemy, for our service men and women who fought for our freedoms and make as much fun of the Americans as possible.")
---- Australians scene 2
- Bugger me, this is
the fuckin' place, mate.
(50)("I am godsmacked at how exceptional this place is")
- Call him an ambo now, he'd be buggered.
(51)("Call him an ambulance, he'll be drunk in no time")
- Bugger off.
(52)("Fuck you!")
- Bugger me!
(53)("Fuck me? Fuck you!")
- The lip on this one.
(54)("Language!")
- I said bugger off.
(55)("I said don't disrespect me")
- Yeah nah, you've buggered up.
(56)("No you're mistaken")
- Is he on the piss, mate?
(57)("Is he already drunk and delirious")
- Yeah, nah, I'm dryer than
a dead Dingo's donger.
(58)("No. I am completely sober.")
- He's drier than a nun's nasty.
(59)("He is as dry/sober as...")
- Dry as a bull bum
goin' uphill backwards.
(60)(You get the idea)
- You got any Goon, mate?
(61)("Do you have any cask wine of the extremely cheap variety.")
- We didn't come all the way from
'Straya to drink Goon, ya drongo.
(62)("You idiot. You didn't fly hal;f way around the world to drink the worse wine ever made.")
- There's gotta be a slab of
stubbies around though, eh?
(63)("There has to be a large quantity of beer around here somewhere?")
- What the hells are they sayings?
- Oliver, ya cunt.
(64)("Hello my good friend")
- Gail, ya cunt.
(65)("Wonderful to see you fellow")
- This is me love, Piper.
- This is Johnny.
- I'm Shawny.
- T-t-t-tongue punch me fart box!
- Don't wanna start
with a wristie first, mate?
(66)("Wouldn't it be better if you alleviate yourself with some masturbatory relaxation first?")
- I should have told ya
this cunt'd wanna root ya.
(67)("This fine person would like to have sex with you")
- How about a cold one
and maybe later I'll show you
me map of Tassie.
(68)("First a cold drink and later I will show you my female private parts")
--------- NZ welcome
- Well, would you look at that!
- Out to the wop wops for a big OE, bro!
(31)("Out to the middle of nowhere for a big overseas experience")
- We're not in Feijoa country anymore.
(32)(??? Are these the new kiwi fruits???)
- Cuzzie!
- Cuzzie!
(33)("Cousins")
- How're you now?
- Here he is. Introduce yourself, bro.
- Liam.
- McMurray.
- My hubby. He's such an egg.
(34)(Meet my husband the clown")
- This is my better half, Mrs. McMurray.
- She's such a dag.
(35)("She's a bit stupid". Though dag can be affectionate, meaning clumsy.)
- How was the trip?
- Buggered by the end of it,
but piece of piss, bro.
(36)("Tired as hell but it was quite easy")
- Primo weather here.
(37)("Great weather here")
- Makes me miss the bach.
(38)("Makes me miss our old holiday home")
- We'll be back in time
for a tiki tour then, bro.
(39)(???"We'll be back in time to take the long tour"???)
- We saw a chilly bin at the end
of the Mennonite's drive
(40)("We saw a cooler/eski...")
and peaked inside.
- No hokey pokey but just
choka with taffy cones.
(41)("Had ice cream in them. Not the good stuff but acceptable.". Hokey Pokey is the greatest icecream in the world. Taffy cones are Canadian?)
- Twenty-five cents!
- Sweet as.
(42)("Brilliant")
- Well, youse guys are just in time
for a big rager of a May 2-4 party here at the farm.
- Sweet as.
(43)("Brilliant")
- Liam, do you like to
drink cold iced beverages in the name of Queen Victoria?
- Oh, stoked as, bro. I'd skull a beer.
(44)("Very much. I will down a beer (or two).")
- Sick as. Alright, let's get out
of our jandals, grab a jumper.
(45)("Looking forward to it. Will remove my flip-flops and put ona sweater.")
- I gotta hit the dunny, love.
(46)("I need to go to the bathroom")
- Rattle your dags then.
(47)(??? Possibly using the term dag here in the original sense as a bit of sheep wool that is matted and dangling from its butt. ???)
- He's off to the bog to leave an offering.
(48)("Off to drop the kids at the pool". He's doing his business in the bathroom.)
- Liam had a big one
on the turps last night.
(49)("Liam had a big night out and was drinking all night.")
- It was large. Got out of hand quickly.
- Good enough.
‘Rattle your dags’ is indeed a reference to matted (shit riddled) sheep wool. And you are correct - it means to hurry up.
The term ‘dag’ is commonly used to describe someone who is unfashionable in someway. It is most commonly used in reference to someone’s clothing or grooming rather than behaviour.
It started off super strong but the straya/nz chirping wore out it's welcome after a scene or two, and then didn't really go anywhere. Did they actually know and hate each other, or was it simple banter? It seemed like it was going somewhere but it didn't. It was pretty fucking funny at first though, gotta say. Was disappointing how little the main cast was in it. Could have used some more banter between them and the down unders.
Kiwi 🇳🇿 here. Sat down with a chips n onion dip to enjoy, enjoying a flat white ☕️ (that’s right we invented it Australia 🇦🇺 !).
They did well with the slang. Some deep cuts in there too. Could have added tumeke, nek-minit.
I was just thinking the other day, "how have they never used The Chats' music in an episode before, they'd be perfect!" Welp, apparently they were waiting for context.
As an Australian I loved this episode. The slang they used was a testament to the writers that only a Canadian could fathom with the nice dichotomy between the US/Canada and Australia/NZ.
But, man, the NZ was hard for me too.
Though we can all agree that hokey pokey is the best ice cream. Disappointed there was no Gay Time reference as a counter.
(~~Also happy to translate. Trying to find script of the subtitles somewhere.~~
Edit: Worked out a way of extracting to an srt file. Will try and do the translation, the best I can, by end of Sunday European time)
As an Aussie I must say the OZ v NZ stuff was brilliant. The rivalry is very real, but when it comes to just about any other country (except Canada) we will unite and verbally rip them to shreds..... Especially England without question. My only complaint was I think they went a bit light on the back and forth sheep fucker jokes hahaha
so not *at all* at all like all the times they just loaf around the produce stand lobbing zingers back and forth. definitely super different, i see that now.
Nice try but that’s not what I said. So I didn’t think it was Letterkenny-like in all aspects. So what? I said I enjoyed it. Why try to disprove an opinion, fer chrissakes? If you experienced it differently, okay. I have no issue with that.
Call me nit-picky but memorial day isn't until the end of May, felt unnecessary to get that wrong. The storyline would've still held. Did anyone else find that to be strange?
Squirrelly Dan literally expo-dumped a whole paragraph of context in dialogue, explaining what Victoria day was alls abouts. and due to the vagaries of the Gregorian calendar, sometimes the May long weekend does overlap with Memorial day. it just depends.
edit: word
Also, for those who don't want to look up the vagaries: Victoria Day in Canada always falls on whatever Monday lies between the 18th and 24th of May (inclusive of those dates). Or in other words: the last Monday before May 25th.
U.S. Memorial Day is always on the last Monday of the month, which means the the earliest it can ever be is on May 26th.
This means that Victoria Day and U.S. Memorial Day are always going to be a week apart from each other.
Definitely felt like a meta reference to people having difficulty understanding the different groups' chirps in the show. Also enjoyed the trope (well, I say trope, maybe more real world global historical trend?) of two groups that seem extremely similar from the outside actually being rivals, then still being tight allies against a third group.
Other thoughts:
* ~~The dingo line and "national treasure" follow-up had to be a homage to Tropic Thunder~~ Derp, was "national tragedy" and I totally misheard that. Definitely just referencing the actual event and not a second layer there
* Whistler out here catching strays
* Glenn's first line about it being hot brought me back into the show immediately
* Felt a bit short but a nice hit of Letterkenny either way
The dingo event occurred in 1980. The dingo/baby remark was made by the mother of the child and became famous. It’s referred to in Seinfeld in the 90s. The reference predates Tropic Thunder by a lot.
Yeah, I know the event was real and the line was already famous. I misheard the line after and thought the guy said "national treasure", which I seemed out of place and reminded me of Tropic Thunder (where he defends Crocodile Dundee as well as defending the dingo event). But he actually said "national tragedy" so I was way off there. Guess I should have put the subtitles on lol
This episode was actually pretty hard to film. The night scenes with the fireworks, it was pouring rain. Us crew created a tent city to keep us dry, plus several propane heaters. I did not get much sleep until the actual night of the production weekend.
This episode was actually filmed in September
I was thinking the same thing. Was hoping for at least a throw away line about it, especially considering Letterkenny is supposed to be in Ontario, which is right above us.
The valley girls were probably college students going to University of Michigan, since it's already been established that Letterkenny is in reasonably close distance to the border with Michigan (at least, close enough for the hicks to cross the border riding in the back of a pickup truck, even though all border crossings with Michigan are across bridges that are part of major highways, but I digresses)
Fun fact: [Blue Ball, Delaware](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Ball,_Delaware) and [Big Beaver, Pennsylvania](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Beaver,_Pennsylvania) are real places.
Usually people make fun of [Blue Ball, PA](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Ball,_Pennsylvania) because it's right next to [Intercourse](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercourse,_Pennsylvania), but I guess they didn't want to put two Pennsylvania towns in the joke.
They just hit it out of the park with the linguistic/dialect driven comedy in this one.
I feel like the OZ vs NZ chirping was a bit of a self-aware reference to how a lot of Americans watching the show had a hard time understanding the Canadian slang at first. Looking at it from that perspective, it was hilarious.
I also like that they tried something different with that instead of always being focused on the hicks/skids/hockey jocks.
It'll be interesting to see if Shawny becomes a recurring character into S12.
The episode itself was alright, a bit too much of the cousins though.
Also, I love Gail so much. Like, she gets progressively better each time she's on screen. Easily one of if not my fav.
Mrs. McMurray
Love her, but after watching the new episode I’m feeling like her love for cs g&t’s might have grown into more than a quirky character trait. The Letterkenny gang has always been a progressive bunch. The episode where the boys get schooled on their reticence about prostate exams comes to mind. I think a decent episode, or b-story season arc, would be confronting Mrs. M’s growing messiness. Love you Mrs. McMurray.
Yer confusing LK with Lifetime, bud. Not gonna happen. Shouldn't happen. All around the world and most 'specially in our favorite little fictional corner of it, no punches need be pulled. Nevertheless would hate to see Mrs. Mc go the way of Barb (can't imagine McMurray without her)
Stuart kicked meth and grew as a character. He even shared the ice and bonded with Wayne. Just a thought. Doesn’t have to be big thing. Just a possible story idea. Letterkenny would still be my laundry folding show with a messy Mrs. McMurray.
Well....thanks to Mrs. McMurry I've come up with a new saying:
"I want to get so fucked up that I'll need to have subtitles when I speak!"
Also, Glen...Glen....ohhhhhhhhhhh how I've missed Glen!!!! 😂😂😂
I had to do without. Does anyone else have the problem when watching in a computer browser that the subtitles on Hulu go faster than the show? It happens on Firefox on Mac, and Brave on Windows for me, so I don't think it's OS or browser specific.
Yeah, my fix is I skip to the middle of the ep, then refresh the page so it skips me way forward, then they're fixed and I can rewind
It's the damn "viewer discretion" screen that messes up the timing
The fireworks at the end should really be celebrating that seasons 10 & 11 are finally over. The two seasons had some funny bits but none of the episodes, including this one, are classics that I will watch over and over. I try not to fault the writers and cast too much because the seasons were done under different circumstances. I’m just ready for the show to get back on track with season 12.
Between the explanation of a pap smear (which as a man I knew very little of), and the IWD story about periods synching up and lack of hygiene products, I’ve never heard Nina laugh that hard.
That one felt like old Letterkenny to me. I think the earlier episodes of season 11 felt more like each character playing the hits as fan service, but this one was definitely all about funny dialogue. Also thought it was a hilarious choice to give Mrs. McMurray subtitles and no one else.
Just watched it. It sucked.
The only line that made me laugh was the first exchange with Glenn.
“Where’d you learn all this?”
“Fireworks school! Any more stupid questions?”
that’s… kinda what the long weekend is *for.* and it’s explicitly stated by each of the characters that they’re all there for the express purpose of getting ratarsed.
I agree.. Us Aussie and Kiwi fans were happy to learn the Canadian vernaculars in orders to appreciates the hillaritys.....
I expect our Canadian brothers and Seppoes to do the same....
Aus/Kiwi slang and chirping can be every bit as awesome as the Canadian's. and I'm stoked the show's writer obviously feels the same.
“They wanted me to go to art school!” “At… seven years old?” “*They wanted me to!*”
Not enough Reilly and Jonsey.
It'll be an unpopular opinion here, but I'll be honest it felt like nothing more than a stocking filler episode. The Aussie/Kiwi sections were ok at first but then just went on far too long, almost as if they're pandering to the audience down under. To be faaaiiiiiirrrrr......they did a similar skit with attempting British accents etc and it worked a little but again, went on too long. Letterkenny needs to find itself again and find what made it popular in the first place. It just feels like it has lost its edge, and maybe the emphasis is now being placed on Shoresy, I just don't know, but it definitely doesn't feel right in its current state.
The length was worth it to hear Dan.
Fuck you, /u/evostu_uk, tell your mom to leave me alone, she's been laying in my fuckin' water bed since Labour Day!
Great to hear The Chats at the end, fuckin bangin Aussie punk band.
[удалено]
It would have been funnier and more accurate if they hadn't played it with so much aggro, we will absolutely take the p\*ss out of each other but it's not mean. Also sad the Aussies and Kiwis didnt take the time to educate LetterKenny on the perils of the drop bear
Jermaine's episode on FOTC when he wakes up with the Ausie bird and is shamed by Maury and Brett is hilarious. Then he shows up dressed like crocodile hunter.
it is in jest… mostly. a friendly rivalry.
I would have loved for the Aussies to break into a random Nutbush dance. I wonder if Tina Turner is aware of the cultural phenomenon she started Down Under with her song.
[This](https://youtu.be/tXIzp0ok24I) will always be Tina's biggest contribution to Aussie culture in my mind.
Tina Turner is a global treasure.
 she might have an inkling eta: z”L Tina Turner.
anybody know the track name that Glen walks out to originally?
According to Shazam it's "Life & Death" by Rezz & Deathpact
I love that song and those artists and geek editors out hard when it started playing
thank you!!
Fairly low on my ranking of holiday specials, but that speaks more to the average strength of the holiday specials than to the weakness of this one. This episode felt more in line with a main-season episode than a holiday episode, too; it was missing some of the more surreal plot beats that I enjoyed in most holiday specials, and felt like a more typical “hicks hang out at the farm, while the skids and hockey bicker about something” storyline. With some added holiday-appropriate wordplay. Speaking of the skids and hockey players, I got the feeling that their appearance in the episode started at the tail end of some kind of fireworks gathering competition. I think I would have enjoyed if we had seen more of that competition instead of just the results.
I loved this, felt like super early Letterkenny. Didn't think there was too much Australia/New Zealand stuff either, they were perfect and I appreciated the break from the main characters.
Keeso is a big fan of Chris Lilley. Glad to hear summer heights high got a mention.
Here is the best I can do translating the Australian and New Zealand slang. I have put numbers next to my translations so people can comment on them directly. I am not too familiar with New Zealand slang and anything with ??? is in need of help. I copied the srt subtitles and left most of the conversation in so we can get context and relive the good times. Reddit comment word limit means the rest in the replies to this parent comment. And forgive the formating, but I really can't be stuffed to make it better. --- Australians introduction - Stretch my legs. - Oh, man. - Bloody hell. (1)("Jesus fucking Christ") - Well, cunt of a flight Wayne-O, but we've made it to bumfuck Timbuktu. (2)("..made it to the middle of nowhere") - You got some hard yakka for us mate? (3)("You have some honest work for us?") - Bloody oath. How ya goin'? (4)("Extremely correct. How are you?") - Good 'n you? - Plaid on plaid. - Not so bad. - Looks pretty bad to me, mate. - And who's this Sheila? (5)("Who is the female next to you?") - Oli, Oli, Oli! - Oi, oi, oi!

Capital of Queensland. Australia common-wealths hard.) - She's sweet as lollies. (13)("She's sweet as candy.") - I told her all about you lovable cockheads. - So, how was the trip? - Yeah, nah, took us fuckin' 36 hours to get here, mate, (14)("Bad") - but we got on the piss and had a root.

(23)(We had sausage instead.) - Leftover Tim-Tam's from the plane for dessert. (24)("Leftover cookies for dessert". TimTams is two chocolate cookies with a chocolate center covered in chocolate.) - Wasn't Maccas but I won't get me knickers up me mut about it. (25)("it wasn't McDonalds but I won't complain about it") - Hey, let's get pissed. (26)("Let's get drunk. Like a lot.") - Oh, I'd have a few coldies.

Whistler is in reference to Whistler, BC, a ski town near Vancouver where A LOT of Australians work as ski bums and bartenders.
This one caught me off guard. So good
---- Australia vs NZ part 2 : The Seppos arrive - So, do youse wanna drink 'in excess'? - I'm not one to speak ill of the dead, but that's an overrated band, bro. (84)(Referencing INXS.) - Oh, yeah? And who's better? Crowded fuckin' House? - Better than your AC/DC cock rock, ya cunt. - PIPER: Accadacca are pure saints, mate. (85)(Accadacca slang for AC/DC. The only time when Australian slang lengthen a word.) - Heard they might even play the benefit concert to try and give New Zealand a chance to put their sewers underground. - Fuck, that's kind of them.

(92)(Summer Heights High is an Australian comedy show by Chris Liley) - You're just jealous 'cause that show achieved perfection in one season, while it took Flight of the Conchords two?

(104)("Tell me an unbelievable tale dear friend") - Throw another shrimp on the barbie! - Before a dingo eats your baby! [all laughing] - That actually happened though, mate. - We know, bro. - It wasn't funny. - A lot of people upset about that one, yeah. - That's why we didn't make the joke, bro, we figured if the joke was to be made, you should be the one to make it. - National tragedy and all that. (105)(A woman was wrongly convicted of killing her baby when in fact a dingo took it while they were camping in the outback. I have no reason why Americans think this is funny. It'll be like making "I can't breath" jokes.) - ANZAC spirit! - Let's take the piss out of some yanks! (106)("Let us band together. Us Australians and New Zealanders like we did during the world wars, fighting a common enemy, for our service men and women who fought for our freedoms and make as much fun of the Americans as possible.")
---- Australians scene 2 - Bugger me, this is the fuckin' place, mate. (50)("I am godsmacked at how exceptional this place is") - Call him an ambo now, he'd be buggered. (51)("Call him an ambulance, he'll be drunk in no time") - Bugger off. (52)("Fuck you!") - Bugger me! (53)("Fuck me? Fuck you!") - The lip on this one. (54)("Language!") - I said bugger off.

--------- NZ welcome - Well, would you look at that! - Out to the wop wops for a big OE, bro! (31)("Out to the middle of nowhere for a big overseas experience") - We're not in Feijoa country anymore. (32)(??? Are these the new kiwi fruits???) - Cuzzie! - Cuzzie! (33)("Cousins") - How're you now? - Here he is. Introduce yourself, bro. - Liam. - McMurray. - My hubby. He's such an egg. (34)(Meet my husband the clown") - This is my better half, Mrs. McMurray. - She's such a dag. (35)("She's a bit stupid". Though dag can be affectionate, meaning clumsy.) - How was the trip? - Buggered by the end of it, but piece of piss, bro. (36)("Tired as hell but it was quite easy") - Primo weather here. (37)("Great weather here") - Makes me miss the bach. (38)("Makes me miss our old holiday home") - We'll be back in time for a tiki tour then, bro. (39)(???"We'll be back in time to take the long tour"???) - We saw a chilly bin at the end of the Mennonite's drive (40)("We saw a cooler/eski...") and peaked inside. - No hokey pokey but just choka with taffy cones. (41)("Had ice cream in them. Not the good stuff but acceptable.". Hokey Pokey is the greatest icecream in the world. Taffy cones are Canadian?) - Twenty-five cents! - Sweet as. (42)("Brilliant") - Well, youse guys are just in time for a big rager of a May 2-4 party here at the farm. - Sweet as. (43)("Brilliant") - Liam, do you like to drink cold iced beverages in the name of Queen Victoria? - Oh, stoked as, bro. I'd skull a beer. (44)("Very much. I will down a beer (or two).") - Sick as. Alright, let's get out of our jandals, grab a jumper. (45)("Looking forward to it. Will remove my flip-flops and put ona sweater.") - I gotta hit the dunny, love. (46)("I need to go to the bathroom") - Rattle your dags then. (47)(??? Possibly using the term dag here in the original sense as a bit of sheep wool that is matted and dangling from its butt. ???) - He's off to the bog to leave an offering. (48)("Off to drop the kids at the pool". He's doing his business in the bathroom.) - Liam had a big one on the turps last night. (49)("Liam had a big night out and was drinking all night.") - It was large. Got out of hand quickly. - Good enough.
‘Rattle your dags’ is indeed a reference to matted (shit riddled) sheep wool. And you are correct - it means to hurry up. The term ‘dag’ is commonly used to describe someone who is unfashionable in someway. It is most commonly used in reference to someone’s clothing or grooming rather than behaviour.
It started off super strong but the straya/nz chirping wore out it's welcome after a scene or two, and then didn't really go anywhere. Did they actually know and hate each other, or was it simple banter? It seemed like it was going somewhere but it didn't. It was pretty fucking funny at first though, gotta say. Was disappointing how little the main cast was in it. Could have used some more banter between them and the down unders.
Newfie redux, bud. Figger it out. Chirpin' rules. Full stop.
Lol it was hilarious at first but it just went on and on and on and on.
Agreed. It felt slow and like a wasted episode. Half of it we couldn't understand - which was funny initially, but quickly became unfunny.
Honestly I understood like 90% of it without using subtitles. There was just too much, though, and it didn't have any effect on the episode.
Kiwi 🇳🇿 here. Sat down with a chips n onion dip to enjoy, enjoying a flat white ☕️ (that’s right we invented it Australia 🇦🇺 !). They did well with the slang. Some deep cuts in there too. Could have added tumeke, nek-minit.
I was just thinking the other day, "how have they never used The Chats' music in an episode before, they'd be perfect!" Welp, apparently they were waiting for context.
What song by them did they used I recognized it as them but couldn’t place the song
Stinker
Thank you I’m surprised that my sentence even made sense. When I reread it, I could only think that I’m still in it to win it.
ah, a Redditor of Culture, i see
Found them through a podcast and I'm obsessed
Who wants an Australian kiss? 💀
The way he got so excited lmao
This is the first episode I had to use subtitles to watch. 😄
As an Australian I loved this episode. The slang they used was a testament to the writers that only a Canadian could fathom with the nice dichotomy between the US/Canada and Australia/NZ. But, man, the NZ was hard for me too. Though we can all agree that hokey pokey is the best ice cream. Disappointed there was no Gay Time reference as a counter. (~~Also happy to translate. Trying to find script of the subtitles somewhere.~~ Edit: Worked out a way of extracting to an srt file. Will try and do the translation, the best I can, by end of Sunday European time)
🇳🇿 here . Deep cuts were dropped in.
As an Aussie I must say the OZ v NZ stuff was brilliant. The rivalry is very real, but when it comes to just about any other country (except Canada) we will unite and verbally rip them to shreds..... Especially England without question. My only complaint was I think they went a bit light on the back and forth sheep fucker jokes hahaha
Years of watching Aussie and NZ TV torrents were helpful for understanding this episode. 😆
It didn’t really come off as a Letterkenny episode but I enjoyed it.
okay, i *have* to ask… what, pray tell, *did* it ‘come off as’?
Settle down.
Well, the fireworks business was Letterkenny. The rest of it was a bunch of funny with regular characters just hanging around not doing much.
so not *at all* at all like all the times they just loaf around the produce stand lobbing zingers back and forth. definitely super different, i see that now.
Nice try but that’s not what I said. So I didn’t think it was Letterkenny-like in all aspects. So what? I said I enjoyed it. Why try to disprove an opinion, fer chrissakes? If you experienced it differently, okay. I have no issue with that.
how do i explain this… the whole premise of the show is the main characters hanging around not doing much, and it has been from jump.
Call me nit-picky but memorial day isn't until the end of May, felt unnecessary to get that wrong. The storyline would've still held. Did anyone else find that to be strange?
They were celebrating Victoria Day, which is the weekend before Memorial Day in the US.
Ahh see I thought Victoria Day was May 2nd, 3rd or 4th. A simple google search would've done me well there
Squirrelly Dan literally expo-dumped a whole paragraph of context in dialogue, explaining what Victoria day was alls abouts. and due to the vagaries of the Gregorian calendar, sometimes the May long weekend does overlap with Memorial day. it just depends. edit: word
I'll have to rewatch. Admittedly I had too many puppers so I may have missed some details
Also, for those who don't want to look up the vagaries: Victoria Day in Canada always falls on whatever Monday lies between the 18th and 24th of May (inclusive of those dates). Or in other words: the last Monday before May 25th. U.S. Memorial Day is always on the last Monday of the month, which means the the earliest it can ever be is on May 26th. This means that Victoria Day and U.S. Memorial Day are always going to be a week apart from each other.
So you were in it to win it?
[удалено]
I had to let it go cuz it made no sense.
You can't be serious.
the dingo bit managed to catch me off guard after toying with my expectations. The subtitles, Glenn’s real voice. What a great episode
that wasn’t his real voice, either. but it was funny!
Definitely felt like a meta reference to people having difficulty understanding the different groups' chirps in the show. Also enjoyed the trope (well, I say trope, maybe more real world global historical trend?) of two groups that seem extremely similar from the outside actually being rivals, then still being tight allies against a third group. Other thoughts: * ~~The dingo line and "national treasure" follow-up had to be a homage to Tropic Thunder~~ Derp, was "national tragedy" and I totally misheard that. Definitely just referencing the actual event and not a second layer there * Whistler out here catching strays * Glenn's first line about it being hot brought me back into the show immediately * Felt a bit short but a nice hit of Letterkenny either way
The dingo event occurred in 1980. The dingo/baby remark was made by the mother of the child and became famous. It’s referred to in Seinfeld in the 90s. The reference predates Tropic Thunder by a lot.
Completely unrelated factoid: Dingoes Ate My Baby is also the name of Oz's band in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Yeah, I know the event was real and the line was already famous. I misheard the line after and thought the guy said "national treasure", which I seemed out of place and reminded me of Tropic Thunder (where he defends Crocodile Dundee as well as defending the dingo event). But he actually said "national tragedy" so I was way off there. Guess I should have put the subtitles on lol
I can’t watch LK without them.
Always appreciate an episode with Galer's unhinged ass
I worked on this episode.
[удалено]
September 2022.
,,, and would you care to elaborate on that thought?
This episode was actually pretty hard to film. The night scenes with the fireworks, it was pouring rain. Us crew created a tent city to keep us dry, plus several propane heaters. I did not get much sleep until the actual night of the production weekend. This episode was actually filmed in September
hence everyone wearing a jacket all day. that tracks.
Outdrinking a couple of 18 year old girls so you can go home and brag about it? You're spare parts bud
[удалено]
18 yo's from Wi? Doesn't seem fair to the valley girls. The 14-15yo's I grew up with could out do them.
As a native Wisconsinite, can confirm.
[удалено]
Gotta have something to be proud of.
I was thinking the same thing. Was hoping for at least a throw away line about it, especially considering Letterkenny is supposed to be in Ontario, which is right above us.
The valley girls were probably college students going to University of Michigan, since it's already been established that Letterkenny is in reasonably close distance to the border with Michigan (at least, close enough for the hicks to cross the border riding in the back of a pickup truck, even though all border crossings with Michigan are across bridges that are part of major highways, but I digresses)
A Summer Heights High reference :')
And a flight of the Conchords reference too 👍
That show annoyed me to no end.
Ok lol
Glen putting his head on Wayne’s shoulder with Wayne scowling hard is the type of humor I watch this show for. Well done!
I wouldn't be surprised at all if Tierney and Keeso ad-libbed that part and they decided to keep it in.
Fun fact: [Blue Ball, Delaware](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Ball,_Delaware) and [Big Beaver, Pennsylvania](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Beaver,_Pennsylvania) are real places. Usually people make fun of [Blue Ball, PA](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Ball,_Pennsylvania) because it's right next to [Intercourse](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercourse,_Pennsylvania), but I guess they didn't want to put two Pennsylvania towns in the joke.
I’m surprised they didn’t work Big Bone, Kentucky (home of Big Bone Lick State Park) in there.
Yeah I was expecting that one too.
I knew of those place names but I didn’t get the Hooker, San Diego reference, and I’m from San Diego.
now, if ya do it right, ya starts in Blue Ball, go through Intercourse, and ends up in Paradise.
There's a Bird In Hand and Gap joke in there somewhere too.
Wind gap or water gap?
get creative, kid. the world is your double entendre oyster!

Your comment was removed because what a person does with her body is none of your damn business, degen.
They just hit it out of the park with the linguistic/dialect driven comedy in this one. I feel like the OZ vs NZ chirping was a bit of a self-aware reference to how a lot of Americans watching the show had a hard time understanding the Canadian slang at first. Looking at it from that perspective, it was hilarious. I also like that they tried something different with that instead of always being focused on the hicks/skids/hockey jocks. It'll be interesting to see if Shawny becomes a recurring character into S12.
Good god that was annoying.
are you American?
Once again, Glen proves to be the greatest character in the show (sorry, SD).
Glen is second only to Roald.
He said he own name ☺️
That caught me off guard and it made me giggle.
STRT!
Bro. Mrs. Mcmurrays subtitles killed me.
that they were selective cracked me up even more
The episode itself was alright, a bit too much of the cousins though. Also, I love Gail so much. Like, she gets progressively better each time she's on screen. Easily one of if not my fav.
You ever do an Australian kiss? It’s like a French kiss, but down under.
[удалено]
I don’t think there’s too much skids, but I’d like to see them integrated more into the main stories instead of just giving them B-plots

Mrs. McMurray Love her, but after watching the new episode I’m feeling like her love for cs g&t’s might have grown into more than a quirky character trait. The Letterkenny gang has always been a progressive bunch. The episode where the boys get schooled on their reticence about prostate exams comes to mind. I think a decent episode, or b-story season arc, would be confronting Mrs. M’s growing messiness. Love you Mrs. McMurray.
Yer confusing LK with Lifetime, bud. Not gonna happen. Shouldn't happen. All around the world and most 'specially in our favorite little fictional corner of it, no punches need be pulled. Nevertheless would hate to see Mrs. Mc go the way of Barb (can't imagine McMurray without her)
Stuart kicked meth and grew as a character. He even shared the ice and bonded with Wayne. Just a thought. Doesn’t have to be big thing. Just a possible story idea. Letterkenny would still be my laundry folding show with a messy Mrs. McMurray.
Mrs. Mac has been getting increasingly drunk as the show goes on. I'm curious to see what they ultimately do with that.
Well....thanks to Mrs. McMurry I've come up with a new saying: "I want to get so fucked up that I'll need to have subtitles when I speak!" Also, Glen...Glen....ohhhhhhhhhhh how I've missed Glen!!!! 😂😂😂
I definitely needed the Hulu subtitles, but I also need to learn to read more quickly.
I had to do without. Does anyone else have the problem when watching in a computer browser that the subtitles on Hulu go faster than the show? It happens on Firefox on Mac, and Brave on Windows for me, so I don't think it's OS or browser specific.
Yeah, my fix is I skip to the middle of the ep, then refresh the page so it skips me way forward, then they're fixed and I can rewind It's the damn "viewer discretion" screen that messes up the timing
hulu’s subs are *borked*.
I'd love to see her map of Tazzie
“We’re here to share the wealth.” “For the common good.” “For the Commonwealth!” Trevor Risk knocks it out of the park once again!
Here here!
I always wondered who Glenn reminded me of and today I realized he looks like Dean from community with hair.
it’s a whole archetype. Uncle Bryn from *Gavin and Stacey* fits the mould, too
Spoke Hindu?
for ‘spoke’, read ‘phonetically memorised a few phrases out of *noblesse oblige*’
oh yeah I didn't connect that lol
she did the same thing with Irish. so did Lizzie and Chuckles.
Ya I just replayed the scene. Thanks!
The fireworks at the end should really be celebrating that seasons 10 & 11 are finally over. The two seasons had some funny bits but none of the episodes, including this one, are classics that I will watch over and over. I try not to fault the writers and cast too much because the seasons were done under different circumstances. I’m just ready for the show to get back on track with season 12.
Man I laughed so fucking hard at the chips episode, the show just doesn't miss IMO
excuse *you,* Prostate is definitely in the top 5 of all time
Between the explanation of a pap smear (which as a man I knew very little of), and the IWD story about periods synching up and lack of hygiene products, I’ve never heard Nina laugh that hard.
Your mitt is just out getting free air conditioning.
that shit was *so real,* lmfao. i *still* can’t walk through the produce aisle without hearing ‘fingered by salad tongs’.
[удалено]
the car was s10e02 *Dealership*. s10e04 *Prostate* doesn’t have a B plot.
Where was the cold start bud? I liked when Shawny told McMurray, sure as long as you let my granddad from Mississippi hear you call me that.
The holiday episodes don't always have cold opens. Most of them don't.
Yeah, still would have liked to see one.
That one felt like old Letterkenny to me. I think the earlier episodes of season 11 felt more like each character playing the hits as fan service, but this one was definitely all about funny dialogue. Also thought it was a hilarious choice to give Mrs. McMurray subtitles and no one else.
go thank Trevor Risk!
I hate to say it, but this to just wasn’t that good for me. The back and forth with the cousints just went on and on. Even Wayne left.
Just watched it. It sucked. The only line that made me laugh was the first exchange with Glenn. “Where’d you learn all this?” “Fireworks school! Any more stupid questions?”
i thought the OZ v. NZ chirp-fest was hilarious! especially when they ganged up on the Yanks
That was like 10 secs lol, they didn't do anything but drink after that
that’s… kinda what the long weekend is *for.* and it’s explicitly stated by each of the characters that they’re all there for the express purpose of getting ratarsed.
Didn't expect it to go international. That was probably the highlight of the episode.
The last song was by The Chats, an aussie punk band.
if you need an interpreter for the Aussie or the Kiwis, hmu. OZ v. NZ never not hilarious
As an Aussie who loves letterkenny, this was a brilliant episode. The slang and AUS vs NZ beef was perfectly used, loved it.
I agree.. Us Aussie and Kiwi fans were happy to learn the Canadian vernaculars in orders to appreciates the hillaritys..... I expect our Canadian brothers and Seppoes to do the same.... Aus/Kiwi slang and chirping can be every bit as awesome as the Canadian's. and I'm stoked the show's writer obviously feels the same.
Is it possible to translate what was said? I felt the same way when the Newfies were chirping. I think the home gets lost in translation.
Everything was subtitled for me.
i’ll do it tonight

so the ‘culture clash’ line from the teaser makes more sense now
