[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgzdvBnal02jzuBHH_8O9Qw Just Passing Through]] is a 2 season Canadian Comedy Webseries created by Jeremy Larter. The first season follows Terry and Parnell Gallant, two cousins from Bumblefuck, Prince Edward Island, landing on their cousin Owen Stevens doorstep in Toronto, Ontario after their car breaks down "Just Passing Through" to get rich in Alberta.
Terry and Parnell view the reunion as an opportunity to remind Owen of his roots and party while drawing in illegal unemployment, or Pogey, benefits, while Owen tries to keep the pair from destroying his life and trying to get them off his couch. Rounding out the cast is Owen's friend Alex, a coffee shop owner who always wants in on Terry and Parnell's schemes, and occasionally her roommate Vanessa, who Owen works with and has a crush on.

Much of the series humor is from it's exageration of Canadian stereotypes while subverting the specifically from the "quaint" image that Prince Edward Island is publicly known for. The Cousins show a strong sense of regional pride, and often end up causing most problems because "that's the way it's done on the island".

Season Two had Terry, Parnell, and Alex trick Owen and Vanessa into having a "Pogey Summer" of getting drunk with the family on Prince Edward Island. On the first day, Owen manages to get a $25,000 fine in a National Park and isnt allowed to leave, resulting in the gang trying to raise money to get him home before PEI sucks again at the end of the summer.

The first season was funded by Access PEI, while the second season was funded by a largely supported kickstarter campaign.
