I can't handle any comedy where the punchline is hicks, because the cringe is too real for me. Can't watch Letterkenney either unfortunately. Spent too long growing up around those people to see them as funny rather than hateful
If you can't distinguish between racist trash rednecks and hicks or other country folks... You haven't been around them enough. Letter Kenny is to duck dynasty as judge Judy is to dog the bounty hunter.
I spent the first 24 years of my life living in rural northern Michigan, where they have more Confederate flags than the Confederacy did.
Michigan is so wild lol
Michigan, where an extremely diverse college town like Ann Arbor that's listed as one of the most LGBT+ friendly places in the US is only 30 minutes south of Howell, home of KKK members and literal Nazis 'protesting' a stage production of The Diary of Ann Frank
Holy shit. Yeah I had a few friends that lived there and that tracks.
The hick in the movie is hateful in real life
All those sewage fumes really did a number on him
I thought it was the aliens.
The hicks in letterkenny are not hateful at all, they're very open minded and accepting.
They do hate on "degens", who are more like the hicks you're familiar with.
It doesn't matter, the real-life associations I have with people like that are too much for me, that's what I'm saying
Shitter was full!
