| 8 | |
| 9 | A group of easy-going yet hard-working farmers that run a local produce stand. The group is made up of Wayne, Wayne's sister Katy, and mutual friends Daryl and Squirrely Dan. |
| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | * ArchEnemies: The degens from up-country. |
| 12 | * BerserkButton: Insult Canada [[InsistentTerminology gooses]] at your peril. |
| 13 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: They're the most consistently well-meaning and heroic group in Letterkenny, but are all skilled fighters who will brawl with anyone who annoys them without a second thought. |
| 14 | * BloodKnight: All of them, even Darry, enjoy a good scrap. |
| 15 | %%zce* CanadaEh: But of course. |
| 16 | * CatchPhrase: Several between them, with almost all being shared throughout the group. |
| 17 | ** Figger it out! |
| 18 | ** Pitter patter! (a shortened form of "pitter patter, let's get at 'er", which is Canadian for "git 'er done".) |
| 19 | ** Back to chorin'. |
| 20 | ** [[IAmVeryBritish To be fair.]] |
| 21 | ** Give them a fuckin' Puppers. |
| 22 | * HiddenDepths: A recurring trait. While they might look like a group of uncultured bumpkins, they're all surprisingly well-versed in a variety of topics and are far more socially progressive than first glance would suggest. |
| 23 | ** Played for both laughs and dramatic irony in "Hard Right Jay" - the titular JerkAss assumes ShapedLikeItself the Hicks are the natural allies of the far-right. |
| 24 | * NonIndicativeName: Despite being "Hicks" they're all rather eloquent, tolerant, and well versed on several topics. |
| 25 | * OnlyOneName: Like most of the characters on this series, none of them have last names. |
| 26 | * OnlySaneMan: Out of all the factions, the hicks seem to have the most common sense and social grace. |

| 32 | [[caption-width-right:350:"Hard no."]] |
| 33 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/JaredKeeso |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Wayne is the leader of the hicks, regarded as "the toughest guy in Letterkenny," a title he regularly backs up. |
| 36 | ---- |
| 37 | * TheAce: Not only is he the toughest guy in Letterkenny, but he's also hard-working, dependable, and rather intelligent. |
| 38 | * AffectionateNickname: Tanis calls him 'boo'. |
| 39 | * AmazonChaser: He dated Tanis for a while. |
| 40 | * AmicableExes: [[spoiler: With Marie-Fred, even after she cheated on him.]] |
| 41 | * AnnoyingLaugh: Turns out he has one when very, very drunk. |
| 42 | * BerserkButton: PlayedForLaughs, but Squirrely Dan's 6-year old cousin Samuel. |
| 43 | -->'''Wayne:''' I fuckin' hate Samuel so much. |
| 44 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Messing with Katy is a good way to piss Wayne off. |
| 45 | * BloodKnight: Relishes fighting. |
| 46 | * BrutalHonesty: Wayne doesn't mince his words. And if he's gonna insult someone, he'll do it to their face. |
| 47 | * CartwrightCurse: Counteracting Wayne's status as the ChickMagnet is the fact that few of his relationships work out. Angie cheated on him before the start of the series, he and Tanis decide they're BetterAsFriends, he and Rosie first break up due to Wayne fighting Bradley, but after making up, they later part on good terms after Rosie decides to move, and it's revealed that Marie-Fred is cheating on him in the season 7 finale. |
| 48 | ** And then defied: Season 8 brings Rosie back to Ontario, and then she and Wayne avert the trope, as they're happily together and going strong through the end of season 10. |
| 49 | * CatchPhrase: "Holy fuck", always said in an exasperated manner when something is so ridiculous that he doesn't even want to try and process it. |
| 50 | ** Also "Hard no!" |
| 51 | ** "Howrya nooow?" "Oh not-so-bad." |
| 52 | ** "Okay, [name], [name], okay." when about to confront an idea. |
| 53 | ** "Did he/she/you really?" |
| 54 | * ChickMagnet: Due to his status as TheAce, Wayne has no trouble attracting female attention. He's unquestionably Letterkenny's most eligible bachelor, which isn't bad considering a majority of the town seems to be young singles. |
| 55 | * ClintSquint: Constantly, to the point that you know something's up if he opens his eyes all the way. |
| 56 | * ChildHater: Milder example than most, but Wayne finds children irritating and enjoys seeing them get hurt. |
| 57 | -->'''Wayne:''' Well, there's nothing better than a fart... Except kids falling off bikes maybe, fuck, I could watch kids fall off bikes all day, I don't give a shit about your kid. |
| 58 | * CombatPragmatist: Wayne is honourable in a fight, especially when he can expect the same from his opponent - notably in his fight with Joint Boy - but he's not above a dirty move when he ''can't'' expect that, like grabbing somebody's junk or headbutting without warning. |
| 59 | * EvenTheGuysWantHim: Glen (and Roald, once) makes advances on Wayne every now and then, but Wayne just brushes it off the same way he does with any of his female admirers. |
| 60 | %%* {{Expy}}: Wayne is basically Canada's answer to WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill protagonist Hank Hill.%%This needs to expand on their similarities more. |
| 61 | * EyesAlwaysShut: Not always shut, but he does manage to be one of the rare live-action examples of this trope on occasion. |
| 62 | * GeniusBruiser: He's big and tough as nails, but also incredibly witty and apparently a highly-skilled farmer (to the point that most of the town frequently calls him for help.) |
| 63 | * GoodOlBoy: Wayne is a classic example, except that he's a ''Canadian'' Good Ol' Boy, so he's not political and isn't at all bigoted (except against the Degens from Upcountry.) |
| 64 | * GrumpyOldMan: Despite not actually being old, Wayne can be ''amazingly'' grumpy when it comes to things he has to do but doesn't like. (Case in point: the Easter special.) |
| 65 | * HeartbrokenBadass: In the first episode of season 1 (after Angie cheated on him), the first episode of season 4 (after breaking up with Rosie), and the first two episodes of season 8 (after [[spoiler: Marie-Fred cheated on him]]). |
| 66 | * HeroesLoveDogs: Constantly seen holding puppies, and seeing two three-legged dogs is what finally convinces him to lift the ban on the Natives entering Letterkenny. |
| 67 | * IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: Gives Dierks one of these speeches in season 8, regarding Katy. |
| 68 | * IKnowMaddenKombat: Partially, as his fighting style seems to be heavily derived from hockey-fighting. |
| 69 | * JerkassRealization: Has one of these when, after planning to sabotage Stewart's concert, he sees how much it meant to him and how hurt he was that barely anyone showed up. |
| 70 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's blunt and will freely insult or pummel anyone who annoys him, but he's generally a good-hearted guy who cares deeply about his friends and will go out of his way to help the town with their problems. |
| 71 | * TheKilljoy: When it comes to holidays, Wayne is a notorious poopy-pants who will attempt to ruin every celebration by insisting on blowing the artifice of it (like examining what the hell does green beer have to do with the actual pagan-killing Saint Patrick). [[TheGadfly He's still game about participating in them]], and it mostly stops after Katy finally calls him out... so instead he whines about Daryl's Easter egg hunt because he just hates it. |
| 72 | * LetsFightLikeGentlemen: Typically views his fights this way, scheduling them in advance and helping his opponents up after they've been defeated. A few times he shakes their hands before/after a fight. |
| 73 | * MadeOfIron: It's extremely hard to keep him down. Even after getting sucker-punched by Tyson and briefly knocked unconscious, Wayne quickly gets up and kicks his ass. |
| 74 | * NiceToTheWaiter: He always tips well. When he finds out Stewart doesn't tip at all (due to mistaking a lack of tipping in Australia as a reason why he shouldn't tip in Canada), he teaches him a lesson by shooting hockey pucks at him. |
| 75 | * PerpetualFrowner: It's rare to see Wayne crack a smile. |
| 76 | * TheStoic: Tough as hell, doesn't complain, doesn't open up much either. Says almost everything in the same flat tone, meaning if he ever modulates his voice, something is ''very'' wrong. |
| 77 | * UndyingLoyalty: He absolutely loathes cheaters in relationships, especially given that he was cheated on by both Angie and Marie-Fred - as a result, he's doubly faithful to Rosie, to the point that when Marie-Fred comes back to town to ask him for help, Rosie correctly trusts Wayne's fidelity. |
| 78 | * VagueAge: At the beginning of the show, Reilly and Jonesy comment that his five-year relationship with Angie has just ended, and that they were high-school sweethearts. Hypothetically, if they'd started dating in the last year of high school, the oldest Wayne could be is about 24. However, he's played by Jared Keeso, who was about 32 when the show started, and he thinks Bonnie [=McMurray=] is too young for him (she's 20), which implies that he's in his late twenties or early thirties. |
| 79 | * VerbalTic: When he's annoyed with someone, he frequently begins refuting their comments by saying "Okay, X. X, okay." Happens most often with Dary. |
| 80 | * VocalDissonance: Has a surprisingly nasally voice for someone so well-versed in kicking ass. Downplayed when compared to Shoresy (also played by Jared Keeso.) |
| 81 | * WouldntHitAGirl: In season 4, one of the Natives calls Katy a skank. Wayne is completely prepared to kick ass until he finds that the person who did so is a woman, whereupon he tells Katy that he can't help her there. |
| 82 | * WhenHeSmiles: He [[PerpetualFrowner rarely does]], but when he does, he's quite handsome. |

| 89 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Nathan Dales |
| 90 | |
| 91 | Daryl, nicknamed Dary, is a dairy farmer who has been best friends with Wayne since childhood. He is the group's resident snarker, despite seeming a bit slow on the uptake from time to time. He is generally unlucky in love. Daryl tends to be the butt of many jokes, whether it is his own doing, or simply from his appearance/comments. |
| 92 | ---- |
| 93 | |
| 94 | * AffectionateNickname: His friends all call him 'Dary', pronounced like 'Dairy'. |
| 95 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: He's the goofiest of the Hicks and the one most likely to be a ButtMonkey, but he's also one of the best fighters in the series. At different times, he easily takes down Sled Ted and Rat Ass, who were both contenders for the Toughest Guy In Letterkenny. He also tackles Sammy Sammich twice. |
| 96 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Much like Wayne, if you mess with Katy Daryl will '''''kick. Your. Ass.''''' According to the animated shorts, their mutual protectiveness of Katy was what made them friends, to begin with. |
| 97 | * ButtMonkey: Things aren't too easy for poor Daryl. |
| 98 | -->'''Wayne''': Wish you weren't so fuckin' awkward, bud. |
| 99 | ** [[spoiler: It stops being funny in season 12 when he starts hanging out with degens because they don't make him feel bad about himself.]] |
| 100 | * CatchPhrase: "We oughta leave this world behind." |
| 101 | * CloudCuckooLander: Aunt Nancy said he was destined for a life of constant confusion. Nathan Dales has also remarked that he plays Daryl as though he's perpetually "lost in thought." |
| 102 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He can be rather slow on the uptake at times, but he's an impressively skilled fighter. |
| 103 | * DeadpanSnarker: For such a dimwit, he's very fast on the draw with quips. Aided by the fact that he almost always speaks in a deadpan tone. |
| 104 | * TheDitz: Rather lacking in the brain's compartment. He still runs laps around most of the hockey players and skids, however. |
| 105 | * HiddenDepths: Despite his status as TheDitz and the ButtMonkey, he designs impossible easter egg hunts, can kick the ass of someone twice his size without any help, knows an incredible amount about various kinds of trees and stain removal, and generally has a weirdly specialized set of (useless) knowledge, probably making him some kind of savant. |
| 106 | * IconicOutfit: Often seen wearing a blue set of coveralls. |
| 107 | * TheLancer: To Wayne. He's not as charismatic, tough, or quick-witted as Wayne, but can perform admirably in all areas when needed. |
| 108 | * LikeBrotherAndSister: To Katy. He'll even reprimand Dan if he's checking her out while Wayne's away. |
| 109 | * ThePigPen: Somewhat downplayed in that he does bathe, but he wears his barn clothes literally everywhere, and considering he works with livestock, it's not the freshest smelling jumpsuit. In Season 10, it's revealed that he also frequently eats off the floor. |
| 110 | * PunnyName: Dary the dairy farmer. |
| 111 | * ShipTease: He's not at all subtle about the fact that he has a crush on Bonnie. [[spoiler:As of the series finale, it's hinted that she reciprocates.]] |
| 112 | * SucksAtDancing: When he's drunk, he's a hilariously awkward dancer. Even while sober, he suffers from stage fright while dancing in the Letterkenny Talent Show...until his friends come and join him. |
| 113 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Yogurt. At almost every breakfast scene, Dary can be seen putting away a yogurt cup. |

| 119 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/MichelleMylett |
| 120 | |
| 121 | Katy is Wayne's little sister. She is confident and well-respected in Letterkenny, although in early episodes she expresses disdain for Dan and especially Daryl. She is bisexual and has quite a few partners, loves a good fight, but is also very kind and willing to stand up for people. |
| 122 | ---- |
| 123 | * ActionGirl: She's not afraid to get into a scrap right alongside the other Hicks. |
| 124 | * AmicableExes: She gets along decently well with Reilly and Jonesy after she breaks up with them, and also with Stewart, though they never got very far. |
| 125 | * DatingWhatDaddyHates: No daddy is around any longer but Wayne, her big brother and the closest thing to an authority figure in her life, generally hates the guys she dates. |
| 126 | * DeadpanSnarker: In a different way than her brother, who typically doles out a very dry TheReasonYouSuckSpeech when he does need to snark, Katy's typical mode of choice is to respond to a comment or person with a single one-liner and go on with her day. |
| 127 | -->'''Wayne:''' Katy! Seen a Dyck or two? |
| 128 | -->'''Katy:''' [[ReallyGetsAround That's a loaded question, big brother.]] |
| 129 | * DistractedByTheSexy: Often, but especially by [[TheAce Bradley]] and [[MsFanservice Bonnie McMurray]] - she gets about as single-minded when they're around as the Hockey Players can get about snipes. |
| 130 | * EveryonesBabySister: The multiple warnings to Dierks that every guy in Letterkenny will come after him should he treat Katy badly was an ''undersell.'' [[spoiler: When Wayne comes to [=MoD3an's=] with evidence that Dierks has been unfaithful, ''the whole town'', men and women alike, converge to deal out vigilante justice.]] |
| 131 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Even she was horrified by the quotes from [=McMurray=] that Wayne and Daryl repeated. |
| 132 | * TheFace: She's almost universally adored by all of the groups, who (at least initially) can barely tolerate one another. She's dated Reilly, Jonesy, and Stewart, and seems to be the one character nobody has anything bad to say about. |
| 133 | * GoodBadGirl: She ReallyGetsAround, but she's adored by the whole town, and the only one who ever reacts negatively to it is [[BigBrotherInstinct Wayne.]] |
| 134 | * GroinAttack: Her SignatureMove. If she has to scrap with another girl, she'll instantly go for a Clam Buster. |
| 135 | * TheHeart: Mess with her, and you mess with the whole town. [[spoiler: As Dierks finds out the hard way.]] |
| 136 | * HiddenDepths: She's the most down-to-earth of the Hicks, but she still has her moments: she's a film buff, and Wayne's perfect gift for her is a horribly obscure Korean Christmas thriller. |
| 137 | * TheLadette: She's one of the Hicks for a reason. She loves drinking, fighting, and sex more than any of them. |
| 138 | * LikeBrotherAndSister: To Daryl. She'll take him to the hospital just as easily as she'll punch him in the gut for going back to his cheating ex-girlfriend. While she's friendly to nearly everyone in Letterkenny, Daryl's as good as family. |
| 139 | * MsFanservice: Right up there with Bonnie [=McMurray=]. |
| 140 | -->'''Shoresy''': Who brought the fuckin' rocket, boys? |
| 141 | -->'''Shoresy's buddy''': Whose billet sister's a fuckin' rocket, boys? |
| 142 | * NotSoAboveItAll: She has her moments. She regularly participates in the word games, catchphrases, and often idiotic debates, and she does not even try to hide her great amusement at [=McMurray's=] "ambush" on ''Crack N Ag''. |
| 143 | * OnlySaneWoman: She often finds herself getting irritated by Wayne, Daryl, and Squirrely Dan's more childish and drunken antics, and semi-regularly calls them out on it. |
| 144 | * PhraseCatcher: Whenever she brings the boys beers or does anything else nice for them, Squirrelly Dan will tell her such action is "What I always appreciates about ya's." She usually replies "[[SarcasmMode Oh, is that what you appreciate about me?"]] |
| 145 | ** And when Wayne invariably asks her to PleasePutSomeClothesOn, the following exchange ensues. |
| 146 | --->'''Katy''': Not my forte.\ |
| 147 | '''Wayne''': Unfortunate. |
| 148 | * ReallyGetsAround: And is rarely slut-shamed for it, despite her brother never approving of her dates. |
| 149 | * SiblingYinYang: Wayne is the quiet, dominant, introverted sibling while Katy is the more friendly, relaxed, outgoing sibling. |
| 150 | * SignatureMove: Always, ALWAYS, goes for the GroinAttack. |

| 156 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' K. Trevor Wilson |
| 157 | |
| 158 | "Squirrelly" Dan is the hicks' storyteller with a tendency to append "S" to singular words as his trademark, e.g. "That's what I appreciates about yous, Ms. Katys." He is slightly more open sexually, which unnerves Wayne and Daryl. He was formerly a drug-addicted skid, and he thinned down as a result. |
| 159 | ---- |
| 160 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Zig-zagged. Katy clearly does not see him in a romantic light, but is also not outright disgusted by him. Dan makes multiple advances, but never oversteps the bounds of decency. |
| 161 | * AllLovingHero: Unlike the more confrontational Wayne, Katy, and Daryl, Dan usually is more reluctant to start a fight and usually has kind words to say about everyone. If someone else starts the fight, though, all bets are off. |
| 162 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He’s a great big softy and a total sweetheart who is passionate about his women’s studies class. That doesn’t stop him from being willing and able to kick your ass if need be. |
| 163 | * BigBeautifulMan: He's a big man, but he generally has fairly decent luck with women (aside from Katy) and has been noted to be attractive several times. |
| 164 | * BigFun: A heavyset farmer who enjoys partying, drinking, and casually chatting with his friends. |
| 165 | * ChivalrousPervert: He doesn't hide his attraction to Katy or Bonnie [=McMurray=] and is fairly open about his sex life. However, he is also very respectful of women's boundaries and is the most visibly disgusted of the Hicks (more so than Katy and Marie-Fred) when Wayne and Dary demonstrate what exactly [=McMurray=] says while drunk. |
| 166 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Not touched on much, but it's no secret that he used to be a hardcore drug addict. |
| 167 | * DeadpanSnarker: Not usually, but during the argument on how best to cook a steak, Dan explains that any great chef will tell you that you don't grill the steak, but rather pan-sear it on both sides and then finish it in the oven. When Wayne and Daryl accuse him of over-handling, Dan responds with a derisory, "Yeah, me and Gordon Ramsay are both morons". |
| 168 | * FatBestFriend: Dan is a large fellow who's very close with Katy, Wayne, and Daryl, and is virtually family to them. |
| 169 | * {{Gasshole}}: Can fart on command, an often-utilized skill. |
| 170 | * GentleGiant: He's a very big man with a mean punch and a powerful voice, and he's also the sweetest guy on the show. |
| 171 | * HiddenDepths: Has an encyclopedic knowledge of popular culture and takes women's studies at the local community college. He also keeps a flower garden as a hobby. |
| 172 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a bit sleazy and obnoxious at first glance, but beneath all that he's one of the most genuinely kind-hearted characters in the series. |
| 173 | * MightyGlacier: His weight slows him down, as it's shown he can't run very fast or very far and makes 'dad noises' whenever he has to get up or sit down, but the man hits like a goddamn truck. |
| 174 | * RoughOveralls: Squirelly Dan, a farmer, is always wearing his denim overalls. |
| 175 | * SignatureHeadgear: Rarely seen without his red and white trucker hat. |
| 176 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Nobody seems to know whether it's 'Squirrelly' or 'Squirrely'. |
| 177 | * StoutStrength: He’s a big man but is easily one of the biggest physical threats in the show, seen by how easily he hands people their asses in a brawl. He might be slow, but he can easily body a hit and dish out a harder one. |
| 178 | * TeachersPet: He practically worships the ground Professor Tricia walks on. |
| 179 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Montreal steak spice. |
| 180 | * VerbalTic: He often adds a plural'''s''' "s" to words that don't'''s''' actually need'''s''' it'''s'''. |
| 181 | ** LampShaded in "Sled Shack" when he gets incredibly bothered by Wayne and Dary doing this to words like "Sushi" and "Sashimi". |
| 182 | * UnskilledButStrong: Unlike many of the other characters who have some finesse to how they fight, Dan's main method is to just charge in like a bulldozer and use his size advantage to flatten whoever it is he's up against. |

| 191 | * BirdsOfAFeather: With Wayne. They share a similar sense of humour, love dogs and have a similar attitude towards life. |
| 192 | * BrainyBrunette |
| 193 | * {{Bookworm}}: Most of the trouble in her love life comes from the fact that she'd rather stay in and read than go to most parties, which most prospective partners don't trust as an excuse. The fact Wayne immediately accepts and rolls with it is a big reason why they click so well. |
| 194 | * EatingTheEyeCandy: With Wayne after she comes back from Vancouver and after he encourages her to open up a bit. |
| 195 | * HeroesLoveDogs: She and Wayne meet and bond over their shared love of dogs, and it helps reinforce her status as one of the sweetest people in the show. |
| 196 | * PutOnABus: Leaves for Vancouver to work in a pitbull rescue shelter near the end of season 5, which means she and Wayne amicably break things off. |
| 197 | ** TheBusCameBack: Returns in season 8 after that gig is over. |
| 198 | * SixthRanger: When she comes back from Vancouver, she essentially becomes a fifth member of the core Hicks. |

| 205 | A couple who own a farm in Letterkenny. |

| 208 | ** Do not disrespect Mrs. [=McMurray=] in [=McMurray's=] vicinity. |
| 209 | ** McMurray fucking hates degens, which causes some conflict when [[spoiler: Wayne asks for his help getting Darry out of there.]] |
| 210 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: They are both notorious for drunkenly regaling others with graphic accounts of their yearly vacations and the sexual conquests that occur on those trips. They're so wantonly inappropriate and overshare so much when they're drunk that even ''[[LovableSexManiac Gail]]'' seems to be uncomfortable around them. |
| 211 | -->'''Daryl''': Yeah, he says things that are, umm... |
| 212 | -->'''Katy''': Spit it out. |
| 213 | -->'''Marie-Fred''': Shoot. |
| 214 | -->'''Squirrely Dan''': Just the worst fuckin' things you've ever heards in your entire lives, this I promise ya's. |
| 215 | * EmasculatedCuckold: Invoked by [=McMurray=]; he heavily implies that he gets off to the idea of another man sleeping with his wife and emasculating him. To that end, he actively tries to convince others to sleep with his wife. |
| 216 | * EthicalSlut: Mrs. [=McMurray=] may love her husband as much as he loves her, but she is just as eager as her husband is to get as much mileage out of their open relationship as possible. |
| 217 | * ExtremeOmnisexual: The two are ''wantonly'' sexual, and the Hicks eventually learn that they are swingers (aside from Squirrely Dan, who misinterprets Wayne's increasingly obvious hints when he tries to discreetly drop the truth). |
| 218 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: The Hicks respect [=McMurray=] as a farmer and member of the community, but ''barely'' tolerate him as a person on a good day, and Katy doesn't even tolerate him and makes no attempt to hide her disdain for him; as the call-ins on ''Crack N Ag'' demonstrate, likely, this sentiment is not limited to them by any means. Mrs. [=McMurray=] is somewhat more well-liked, but her inappropriate antics with her husband, habitual drunkenness, and all-around coarseness clearly grate on people as well. When they're drunk, people generally don't even bother hiding their disdain for them, as their tendency to be incredibly inappropriate and subject anyone in their vicinity to extremely explicit and graphic rundowns of their sexual proclivities is infamous all throughout the town. |
| 219 | * TheGadfly: Later seasons suggest that the McMurray's inappropriate behavior is intentional, and they're a bit put off when Gail's unfazed by their graphic retellings of their sexual exploits. |
| 220 | * GoodOlBoy: [=McMurray=] may have a nasty habit of going into incredibly graphic detail about his sexual conquests while drunk, but at the end of the day, he's an all-around good-natured guy who loves his town and his country and wants what's best for Letterkenny's farming community. |
| 221 | * HappilyMarried: While the two are in an open marriage, there's no doubt that they're very happy together and are each others' top priority. |
| 222 | * HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Mrs. [=McMurray=] loves her cocksuckin' G&T's almost as much as she loves her husband, and it's extremely rare to see her completely sober. |
| 223 | * HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: [=McMurray=] goes into this mode the second anyone mentions that they're gay. |
| 224 | * HiddenDepths: [=McMurray=] loves puzzles, and is very good at them. He's also Wayne's go-to man for help with haggling on a new vehicle. |
| 225 | * InformedFlaw: Despite being referred to as a "piece of shit," [=McMurray=] isn't particularly horrible beyond being very crass and lewd, and is generally well-meaning. |
| 226 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: McMurray can be downright intolerable at times with his crass behavior and total lack of social awareness, but he's a true friend through and through. Even when he's [[spoiler: hesitant about saving Darry from the degens, he still shows up and brawls just as hard as the rest of them.]] |
| 227 | * KavorkaMan: He's not particularly attractive, but [=McMurray=] has no trouble scoring big with "tasties". |
| 228 | * TheLadette: Mrs. [=McMurray=] is every bit as coarse, foul-mouthed, and relentlessly sexual as her husband, and is also a heavy drinker. |
| 229 | * LadySwearsALot: Mrs. [=McMurray=] uses ''cocksucker'' the way some people use punctuation. |
| 230 | * LimitedWardrobe: [=McMurray=] and his alarmingly tight white t-shirts. He... [[FanDisservice doesn't really have the physique to pull them off.]] |
| 231 | * MsFanservice: Mrs. [=McMurray=], just like her sister-in-law. |
| 232 | -->'''Caller''': Your wife is blow-my-brains-out hot, [=McMurray=]! I would literally cut off my own arm to fuck her! I would ''127 Hours'' both my arms to fuck your wife! |
| 233 | * NoNameGiven: We never find out what the first name of either one is. |
| 234 | * PhraseCatcher: "[=McMurray=]'s a piece of shit." |
| 235 | * {{Polyamory}}: They are both swingers, and both of them get a ''lot'' of mileage out of the deal. |
| 236 | * ThePornomancer: If [=McMurray's=] drunken retellings of his boys' trips are any indication, this is the level he is at. It later becomes clear that his wife is on the exact same level. |
| 237 | * ReallyGetsAround: [=McMurray=] will gleefully talk your ear off about all the "tasties" he's fucked. |
| 238 | -->'''Wayne''': (''imitating [=McMurray=]'') Wayne, how would you's like to talk about ''cunt''? |
| 239 | -->'''Daryl''': (''also imitating [=McMurray=]'') Nnhey Darry, 'r you'n ass man, a tits man, 'r a cunt man? |
| 240 | * RunningGag: Several: |
| 241 | ** [=McMurray=] finds himself talking at the same time as Wayne. |
| 242 | ** [=McMurray=] gets wasted and begins to tell a story about one of his boys' trips that starts with "Hard Rock, rooftop, poolside villas" and typically involves an obscene hashtag that he and his friends came up with for that trip. |
| 243 | * SitcomArchNemesis: Often crosses over into this, from the way McMurray immediately calls for a second election when the other members vote Wayne on as president of the Ag Hall, his attempts to upstage Wayne on "Crack N Ag" and his attempts to appeal to "influenzas" in competition with Katy. |
| 244 | * TeenyWeenie: 4.15 inches, add an inch if he's measuring the way that he heard about on the Howard Stern Show. Quite a few of the callers on ''Crack N Ag'' (and Katy, for that matter) jeer at him ''mercilessly'' for it. |
| 245 | --> '''Caller''': I fucked [=McMurray=] at a buck-and-doe in Drayton, and four inches is a ''criminal'' embellishment. |
| 246 | --> '''[=McMurray=]''': ...''Patti''? |
| 247 | --> '''Caller''': [=McMurray=], if you were ten off the tee, I ''still'' wouldn't golf with you. Fuckin' end it. |
| 248 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Mrs. [=McMurray=] sure does love a cocksuckin' gin-and-tonic, that's all she knows. |
| 249 | * UglyGuyHotWife: [=McMurray=] himself isn't a looker by any means, but his wife most certainly is. Lampshaded heavily in-universe in the ''Crack N Ag'' "ambush", when most of the callers taunt him about how hot his wife is and/or how much they want to fuck her, and how low she stooped by marrying him. |
| 250 | -->'''Caller''': Yeah, I've got a question about husbandry. |
| 251 | -->'''[=McMurray=]''': You've come to the right place. We raise animals for meat, milk, eggs- |
| 252 | -->'''Caller''': [''interrupting [=McMurray=]''] No, no no no no no, I meant you as a husband. Why the fuck would Mrs. [=McMurray=] marry a piece of shit like you? She's an eleven outta ten, but that decision downgrades her to an even ''dime''. |
| 253 | * TheUnintelligible: Between his thick Canadian accent, gravelly voice, and tendency to speak in a "lockjaw" fashion, [=McMurray=] is almost impossible to understand. Mrs. [=McMurray=] is only marginally easier to understand for all the same reasons, plus her habitual drunken slurring. |
| 254 | * UrineTrouble: [=McMurray=], with a "tasty" of the Australian variety. |
| 255 | -->'''[=McMurray=]''': You may not know this, but down there they likes you to piss on 'em. |
| 256 | * VerbalTic: Mrs. [=McMurray=] habitually ends sentences with "that's all I know". |

| 264 | [[caption-width-right:350:"Let's get these Ws, boys!]] |
| 265 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Dylan Playfair and Andrew Herr |
| 266 | |
| 267 | The brain of one DumbJock split between two bodies. They play for the local hockey team, the Letterkenny Shamrocks (later the Irish). They are in an on-off poly relationship with Katy. |
| 268 | ---- |
| 269 | * BrainlessBeauty: They're both handsome, but they're about as sharp as a sphere. |
| 270 | * CatchPhrase: "Wheels, snipe, celly, boys", "dirty fuckin' dangles, boys", "ferda", and "forecheck, backcheck, paycheque, boys". |
| 271 | * CharacterDevelopment: They start as confrontational cowards - their introduction has them trying to provoke an apathetic Wayne and back down once he reestablishes him as the Toughest Guy in Letterkenny - and lazy poseurs who only play hockey for the cred. By the end of season 5, they become friends with the Hicks and the Skids, very good hockey players, and even show competence at coaching, helping the Letterkenny Shamrockettes to the championship after an unprecedented win streak. |
| 272 | * ChivalrousPervert: They love taking down snipes, and they shoot their shot at practically any woman who looks their way, but when it comes to coaching the Shamrockettes, they keep it completely professional. They also have little patience for StayInTheKitchen attitudes, and when a girl turns down their advances, they don't keep going. |
| 273 | * TheDitz: Not the sharpest skates in the rink. It also gets them into trouble outside of the rink, as the [=BroDude=] representative grows irritated with their antics almost immediately and makes it clear that she would rather be doing anything other than babysitting them, and once [[spoiler: Anik]] comes along, she makes no attempt to hide her glee at getting to fire them. |
| 274 | * TheDividual: Think about how many times the two have appeared ''separately'' on camera. Yeah. They're one person. Hell, they even entered the Letterkenny Adult Spelling Bee as a single contestant rather than 2 separate people. |
| 275 | * DumbJock: Both of them, together, ''almost'' equal the intelligence of a single human. Subverted later on when they reveal themselves to not be BookDumb and actually quite competent at hockey and gym-related matters if they put in some focus. |
| 276 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Despite being obnoxious, they don't approve of racism, sexism, gay-bashing, or other politically incorrect behaviour. |
| 277 | * {{Fratbro}}: They act as close to this trope as humanly possible without actually being in a fraternity. |
| 278 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: Play together, date the same woman for several seasons, and freely discuss their feelings. This leads to quite a bit of HoYay. |
| 279 | * HiddenDepths: The two occasionally show flashes of intelligence beyond hockey and sex, such as sometimes being able to speak on literature and music on an equal level with the much more intelligent Hicks. |
| 280 | ** They are pretty good at math - when mistakingly hooked on Ritalin instead of steroids, they develop a complex equation to figure out the most efficient training regimen to minimize the risk of steroid abuse. |
| 281 | ** Despite being meatheads, they are surprisingly woke. They frequently remark when something "isn't very PC" and make sure to use inclusive language. They are also quite comfortable with their bodies and sexuality, even if they're clueless about it half the time. While initially, they seem to be hurt by Dax and Ron's constant chirping, it turns out they were distracted by their separation and weren't bothered by it at the slightest - in fact, they think it [[ActuallyPrettyFunny some top tier chirping]] and admit it would be more alarming if they weren't getting chirps from gay guys, considering how they look. |
| 282 | *** They also don't shy away from chances to educate themselves, if Jonesy's discussion with Roald on homosexuality is any indicator. |
| 283 | * HoYay: Too many examples to list. |
| 284 | -->'''Shoresy''': Fuck, you could cut the sexual tension over there with a knife. Give your balls a tug, titfucker! |
| 285 | * {{Hypocrite}}: They and Katy break up between seasons 1 and 2 because she cheated on them, and they give her shit about it all through season 2, even after she continually points out that they were cheating on her through the entire relationship. |
| 286 | * JerkJock: In the beginning of the series before they're humbled by the much nastier Shoresy and get nicer. |
| 287 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As obnoxious as they may be, they're generally well-meaning, and they do seem to genuinely care about Katy. In later seasons they even get along decently well with the Hicks whenever they all hang out. They even hang out with the Skids from time to time. |
| 288 | * LovableJock: They evolve into this in later seasons. |
| 289 | * MrFanservice: Not only are the two played by the handsome Andrew Herr and Dylan Playfair, but they get some various scenes where they show off their impressive physiques, including an [[ItMakesSenseInContext episode where they're flexing their bare glutes repeatedly.]] |
| 290 | * OddFriendship: In later seasons, they frequently hang out with the Skids. |
| 291 | * PhraseCatcher: "Give your balls a tug, titfucker!" courtesy of Shoresy, who also ends many of his chirps towards them with "you fuckin' loser" or "you piece of shit". |
| 292 | * PottyEmergency: Turns out that chugging a meal replacement shake loaded with stimulants is a surefire recipe for gastrointestinal distress. |
| 293 | -->'''Reilly''': Only thing about shreddin' the red's a few more trips to the shitshed, boys. |
| 294 | -->'''Jonesy''': Few more trips to brown-town, buddy. |
| 295 | * ReallyGetsAround: Both of them, much to Katy's annoyance. |
| 296 | * ThoseTwoGuys: Almost inseparable. |
| 297 | * TookALevelInBadass: Start off out of their depth in senior hockey, but gradually find their footing and end up bringing home a national senior hockey championship by season 8. |
| 298 | * TookaLevelInKindness: Downplayed, but in later seasons they're notably less obnoxious and a little more mature. |
| 299 | * TrashTalk: They valiantly try to educate the senior hockey team in the art of chirping the other team, while Shoresy regularly regales them with [[YourMom his own brand]] of chirping. |
| 300 | * TheUnintelligible: Their fast speech patterns and gratuitous overuse of hockey and gym slang often makes them verge on this. |
| 301 | * VerbalTic: They regularly end sentences with "boys" or "buddy". |
| 302 | * WrestlerInAllOfUs: Jonesy [[Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin Stone Cold Stunners]] a degen during a donnybrook. |

| 308 | Senior players for the Letterkenny Irish. Have a peculiar speaking style. |
| 309 | ---- |
| 310 | * BerserkButton: Never belittle Leg Day! |
| 311 | * BrokenAce: The lot of them starting from season 3: they're out of shape and their wives left all of them off-screen. They are in such a pathetic state that Jonesy and Reilly are paragons of skill and dedication in comparison. |
| 312 | * CloudCuckoolander: Boomtown is very ''odd''. While the rest of the team recover their bravado after a full season of getting coached by Jonesy and Reilly, Boomtown is never quite the same. |
| 313 | * LovableJock: Not initially. Later on, the whole group qualifies as this after they get humbled. |
| 314 | * QuirkyMinibossSquad: They definitely have this dynamic. |
| 315 | * VerbalTic: They tend to respond as a unit, in the following order: |
| 316 | ** Barts: X, you little bitch. Yorkie? |
| 317 | ** Yorkie: X. Shultzy? |
| 318 | ** Shultzy: X, pussy. Fisky. |

| 327 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Mark Forward |
| 328 | |
| 329 | The Letterkenny Irish's perpetually-angry coach. |
| 330 | ---- |
| 331 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: A variant. The team spends season 3 trying to get at least one win during a disastrous series, and they ultimately don't get one because the last game of the season is called a draw due to a brawl. However, the Letterkenny Irish kicked the absolute ever-loving shit out of the opposing team (and in defence of Katy's honour to boot) and finally came together, which makes even Coach proud. |
| 332 | * CantHoldHisLiquor: Goes into graphic detail about his sexual escapades with Barbara when she was alive while drunk. |
| 333 | * CatchPhrase: "FUCKIN' EMBARRASSING!" to the point his golf caddie carries a sign that just reads "Embarrassing." He also enjoys calling the players 'pheasants'. |
| 334 | ** In season ten, almost every line he says is about how much he's been going to the gym. |
| 335 | * CharacterTics: ALWAYS kicking trashcans. At one point he even brings a trash can to a golf course just to kick it since there wouldn't normally be one around. |
| 336 | * EveryoneHasStandards: He may be constantly screaming and insulting his players, but he wouldn't dare interrupt a players-only meeting. |
| 337 | * FormerlyFat: Because he's been [[CatchPhrase going to the gym]] before and during Season 10. Obviously, this trope applies because of Mark Forward's impressive real-world weight loss. |
| 338 | * HairTriggerTemper: Notorious for flipping his shit on his players at the drop of a hat. |
| 339 | * JerkassHasAPoint: He was absolutely, unquestionably correct to berate Jonesy and Reilly for fucking around, not taking the team seriously, and caring more about the hockey lifestyle than the game itself. |
| 340 | * LetsGetDangerous: While most of his scenes consist of him flipping out but not getting physical, the finale of the series shows him involved in a massive brawl against the Degens, one in which he performs admirably well. |
| 341 | * TheLostLenore: His wife Barbara, who died sometime before the start of the series. It is heavily hinted that this plays a large role in his short temper and poor self-control. |
| 342 | * NoIndoorVoice: Necessary in his line of work to get across just how FUCKIN' EMBARASSING his players can be. |
| 343 | * SuddenlySHOUTING: He can go from a whisper to full-on screaming in the span of a sentence. |
| 344 | * TalkingToTheDead: In "Letterkenny vs Penny", he calls out to his dead wife, Barbara. |
| 345 | * TookALevelInKindness: While he's still a temperamental dude, later seasons show him being friendly to the Hicks and even Reilly and Jonesy, to the point that he even shows up in the grand finale to help Dary escape from the Degens. |

| 350 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Jared Keeso |
| 351 | |
| 352 | The obnoxious asshole who lives to antagonize Jonesy and Reilly. |
| 353 | ---- |
| 354 | * BerserkButton: Do not disrespect Wayne Gretzky or anyone related to him in his presence. |
| 355 | -->'''Shoresy''': Ariana Grande looks like she's eight, titfucker. I'm givin' the preschool your plate number. |
| 356 | -->'''Jonesy, Reilly, Dax, and Ron''': Shoresy!? |
| 357 | -->'''Shoresy''': And Gretz's daughter's a married woman, you classless piece of shit, she wouldn't fuck you if you had Mario's dangles and Messier's dick. |
| 358 | ** He also hates Canadian separatists. |
| 359 | --->Two of my top five all-time blowies came from Newfie broads, but if I have to listen to you two separatist sympathizers for one more second, I'll shoot myself in the face. |
| 360 | * BreakoutCharacter: By and large the most popular character to come out of the Letterkenny franchise by a wide margin, to the point that a significant amount of merchandise (and eventually the spin-off) focus on him and his antics. |
| 361 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: As crass as he may be, he's a very talented hockey player, frequently referred to by Coach as the team's secret weapon. |
| 362 | * CatchPhrase: "Give your balls a tug, titfucker!" |
| 363 | * CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: ''Loves'' going into graphic detail about what he does to Jonesy and Reilly's mothers. |
| 364 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He's arguably the most mean-spirited recurring character, but he will NOT tolerate anyone disrespecting Wayne Gretzky. |
| 365 | ** He absolutely hates Canadian separatists. |
| 366 | * TheFaceless: Only ever seen with his back to the camera, or his face otherwise obscured; the most we ever see of him is during hockey games, where he is only ever seen facing the camera at a distance and wearing an opaque black eye guard that hides the upper half of his face. |
| 367 | ** Somewhat averted, as the last clip of season 10 reveals his face from a side view. |
| 368 | ** And finally revealed in his self-titled spin-off, where he's still portrayed by Keeso. |
| 369 | * {{Gasshole}}: Regularly and loudly farts, either because he is running his mouth while on the toilet, or just to be extra disrespectful. Lampshaded by Reilly. |
| 370 | -->'''Reilly''': ...The fuck do you ''eat''!? |
| 371 | * HiddenDepths: He practices on the ice every day and well into the night, to the point of throwing up from over-exertion. |
| 372 | * IBangedYourMom: His go-to chirp when it comes to Jonesy and Reilly. |
| 373 | -->'''Shoresy''': Fuck you, Reilly, your mum keeps trying to [[AssShove slip a finger in my bum]], but I keep telling her I only let Jonesy's mum do that, ya fuckin' loser.\ |
| 374 | '''Reilly''': My mum would ''never'' stick a finger in your bum!\ |
| 375 | '''Jonesy''': Mum's a fuckin' saint! |
| 376 | * IdenticalStranger: During his tenure on ''Letterkenny'', Jared Keeso voiced Shoresy with the actor keeping his face hidden from the camera. Come the spin-off, it's revealed that Shoresy is also played by Jared Keeso, albeit with a full beard to distinguish him from Wayne. |
| 377 | * InsufferableGenius: He is an exceptionally talented hockey player for sure, but he is also, without a doubt, the biggest prick in the series. Later seasons also demonstrate that he even plays like a dick, as he deliberately snows goalies as much as possible and regularly indulges in dirty hits. In Season 8, he starts a fight with another player by smashing him in the ankles so hard that the stick breaks, resulting in him getting thrown in the penalty box for most of the remaining game. |
| 378 | * JerkAss: He may be hilarious, but he ''is'' a complete douchebag who runs his mouth to Jonesy and Reilly for no good reason, and has repeatedly made misogynistic comments and sexually harassed women. It gets to a point that literally nobody in town ''likes'' him and only tolerates him at best (all of the other hockey players dislike him, and he's also provoked the ire of Dax and Ron too). Best illustrated when he takes umbrage at Jonesy and Reilly insinuating that Gordie Howe was a better player than Wayne Gretzky, and goes out of his way to be as rude about it as possible. |
| 379 | -->'''Shoresy''': Gretz holds or shares sixty-one records in the Show, you piece of shit, don't nickel-and-dime the Great One. |
| 380 | -->'''Jonesy''': But, ''Mr. Hockey''? |
| 381 | -->'''Shoresy''': Suck my Mr. Cockey, you fuckin' loser. |
| 382 | * LaserGuidedKarma: His JerkAss antics finally catch up to him in the eighth season, when he gets thrown in the penalty box for unsportsmanlike behaviour culminating with him ruthlessly attacking someone who was laughing off his chirps. Jonesy and Reilly even take the chance to get even with him by getting his ass beat by Joint Boy and Tyson while in the penalty box after he makes crude comments about Katy. |
| 383 | * MicDrop: Regularly uses these right before he makes Jonesy and Reilly give up when he's chirping them. |
| 384 | -->He'd be boatin' with Kylie Minogue. Let's get some fuckin' gyozas. |
| 385 | * NakedPeopleAreFunny: Slinging IBangedYourMom insults? Funny. Slinging IBangedYourMom insults while doing bare-ass naked handstand push-ups in the shower? Hilarious. |
| 386 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Gets his ass beat by Tyson and Joint Boy (at the behest of Jonesy and Reilly) for making crude sexual comments about Katy. |
| 387 | * PersonaNonGrata: Apparently banned from Canada's Wonderland due to repeated instances of inappropriate behaviour in public. |
| 388 | -->'''Shoresy''': Fuck you, Jonesy, your mom got us banned from Canada's Wonderland for trying to give me a tug on Top Gun. |
| 389 | -->'''Reilly''': Fuck you, Shoresy! |
| 390 | -->'''Shoresy''': Fuck you, Reilly - I took your mom the weekend before and she asked me to diddle her on Drop Tower! |
| 391 | * PhraseCatcher: "FUCK YOU, SHORESY!" is the usual refrain from Jonesy and Reilly whenever he goes off on them. It's even been used by the likes of Betty-Anne, Mary-Anne, Ron, and Dax too. |
| 392 | ** To a lesser extent, a confused and bewildered "Shoresy?" whenever he shows up after not being seen for a while. |
| 393 | * PutOnABus: In season ten, Tanis trades him to her cousin's hockey team up north, thus neatly segueing into his spin-off. |
| 394 | * RunningGag: As of Season 7, whenever his name comes up during roll calls, he always answers with a loud fart. |
| 395 | * SitcomArchNemesis: To Jonesy and Reilly. |
| 396 | * SmugSnake: In Season 8, as a deconstruction of his trollish behaviour. While he is still a talented player, he focuses so much on antagonizing other players that when he meets someone who can just laugh off his chirps, he grows angrier and angrier and plays significantly worse, up to the point where the team only starts scoring goals after he gets thrown in the penalty box for starting a fight with a dirty hit. Later on, he even costs Tanis' team the championship retroactively, having conspired to lie to get them classified as Native. |
| 397 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Asian food in general, judging by how often he brings up going to get some. |
| 398 | * TrashTalk: The core of his character; relentless chirping is his raison d'etre. |
| 399 | * {{Troll}}: His entire character. This extends to his conduct on the ice, as he ''constantly'' chirps other players talks tons of shit, and plays like a dick with tons of snowing and dirty hits. Eventually deconstructed, as it's shown that nothing pisses him off more than a player who can laugh off his chirps, and when Shoresy gets mad, he becomes a significantly less effective player (to the point where the team doesn't start scoring goals until he gets thrown in the box). This tendency is also lampshaded by several TSN commentators, who point out that he cares way more about being a dick and pissing people off than playing, citing him as an overall liability to the team despite his ability. This is to the point that tactically he ends up more valuable to the team as someone to sacrifice rather than a player. |
| 400 | * UnusuallyUninterestingSight: As the spin-off reveals, Shoresy has been walking around town looking like an unshaven version of Wayne for years and no one has found it unusual, including Wayne himself. |
| 401 | * UrineTrouble: Rather infamously manages to ''piss from halfway across the room'' into the urinal between Jonesy and Reilly - [[ItMakesSenseInContext making it a point to wait until their hands are in the prime splash zone.]] |
| 402 | -->'''Shoresy''': What are you pissin' so close to the urinals for, you piece of shit? This is how a real man rocks a piss! Give your balls a tug, titfucker! |
| 403 | -->'''Jonesy''': '''What the fuck, man?!''' |
| 404 | * VerbalTic: Habitually ends many of his insults with "you fuckin' loser" or "you piece of shit". |
| 405 | * VocalDissonance: Has a very high-pitched voice (courtesy of Jared Keeso speaking in falsetto). |
| 406 | * YourMom: His modus operandi, and his primary means of antagonizing Jonesy and Reilly. While they clearly don't believe him, the two eventually receive texts that suggest that he may not have been lying after all. |

| 415 | * CockFight: The root of their disagreement turns out to be that they're both going after Shoresy, and it takes Reilly and Jonesy telling them Shoresy thinks women shouldn't play hockey to put him aside and start winning again. |
| 416 | * DistaffCounterpart: They're basically just Reilly and Jonesy as women, albeit smarter, and they throw insults at each other like Shoresy. They even have a LoveTriangle going on when we first meet them, just like Reilly and Jonesy did with Katy at the start of the series. |

| 430 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: After getting bested by Wayne in a fight, he stays for Daryl's birthday party and remains on friendly terms with the hicks. |
| 431 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Tyson. They share a duplex as of s07e04, 'Letterkenny vs. Penny'. |
| 432 | * NoSell: During one fight, he takes a bottle straight to the back of the head and barely notices. Wayne is the only one who's been able to take him down. |
| 433 | * TheStoner: He smokes a lot of joints. You could probably get a contact high just by stopping next to him at a red light. During the fight at the end of season 1, he even stops to smoke a joint in the middle of the fight. |
| 434 | * WorthyOpponent: Views Wayne as this, offering to reschedule their fight due to Wayne having protected one of his cousins. |

| 444 | * CombatPragmatist: Fights dirty against Wayne in their first encounter. |
| 445 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: After Wayne KO's him with a headbutt, Tyson is very firmly in Camp Hick. |

| 453 | |
| 454 | Two gay, married gym rats that befriend Reilly and Jonesy. |
| 455 | ---- |
| 456 | * AllGaysArePromiscuous: They've had ''dozens'' of sexually transmitted diseases. When Reilly and Jonesy receive their first, the two consider it a rite of passage. |
| 457 | * CampGay: Ron is much campier than Dax, and the mere mention of his sexuality is enough to drive him into a horned-up frenzy. |
| 458 | ->"Let's get so fucking gay. Let's get some ass." |
| 459 | * {{Catchphrase}}: "What're we even fuckin' doing here?" following a long string of single-entendres. |
| 460 | * TheGadfly: While they are a pair of horndogs, at least some of it is to annoy people. They are introduced chirping at Reilly and Jonesy... but once they become friends and the Hockey Players reveal they'd be insulted if they ''weren't'' chirped at, Ron and Dax move on to the next target. |
| 461 | * GymBunny: They spend a ''lot'' of time in the gym. |
| 462 | * HappilyMarried: Played with: the main reason the two married was for tax purposes, but they're inseparable despite that. |
| 463 | * HasAType: They both are attracted to otters (IE: hairy young men). This is good news for Roald in 'Valentime's Day' (and he'd had a previous sexual relationship with Ron from when they both played little league baseball). |
| 464 | * LoveableSexManiac: The two are basically decent - if obnoxious - dudes, but they're about as horny as Gail is and, like her, don't make even a small attempt to hide it. |
| 465 | * MrFanservice: The two are hunky and wear sleeveless shirts at the gym. |
| 466 | * ReallyGetsAround: They have lost track of the number of times they've gotten an STD. |

| 473 | !!The Skids |
| 474 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/skids.jpg]] |
| 475 | [[caption-width-right:350:"[We'll do] what we always do. Copious amounts of hard drugs."[[note]]Left to right: Darien, Roald, Stewart, Connor[[/note]]]] |
| 476 | |
| 477 | A group of petty delinquents whose lives revolve around video games, rave music, and hard drugs. |
| 478 | ---- |
| 479 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In season 3, they make it their mission to behave badly enough that Gae will be sent back to the city, which is what she wants. By the time they achieve their goals, however, they've all become good friends and are very upset at being parted. |
| 480 | * CoordinatedClothes: From season 2 onward, they all wear black overalls over white tank tops, excepting Stewart, who doesn't wear the tank top and wears a black bowler hat. |
| 481 | * DanceBattler: During the fight at the end of season 1, the Skids are dancing while they fight. |
| 482 | * {{Delinquents}}: Oh yeah. When they're not loitering, vandalizing, or ripping people off, they're doing "copious amounts of hard drugs", as well as selling them. |
| 483 | * DelusionsOfEloquence: They speak in an unnecessarily and pretentiously formal manner, most of the time. |
| 484 | * EmoTeen: The "teen" part is debatable, but they fit the rest of the stereotype to a T. |
| 485 | * EveryoneHasStandards: For whatever other faults they might have, they don't deal to kids. |
| 486 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: The Skids are an established group in Letterkenny, but for the first few seasons they're mostly tolerated, not actually liked. This is subverted in later seasons; while the other groups still find them annoying, they still hang out together more often than not. |
| 487 | * InformedAttribute: The Skids are often described as 'greasy' and are meant to be dirty and unkempt, but they only really look it up until about halfway through season 2. |
| 488 | * LargeHam: '''''Oh yes.''''' It comes with the territory of being hardcore drug addicts prone to huge mood swings. |
| 489 | * RoughOveralls: The Skids, a mostly-unemployed group of drug users, are always wearing black overalls from Season 2 onward. |
| 490 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: They triggered Tanis' arson spree by double-crossing her and reselling cigarettes that they bought from her at a substantial discount after having agreed not to. |
| 491 | * VagueAge: Just like Katy, it's not clear how old they're supposed to be. They're absolutely out of high school, at least, though Gae is likely the youngest out of all of them. |
| 492 | [[/folder]] |
| 493 | |
| 494 | [[folder:Stewart]] |
| 495 | !!Stewart |
| 496 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Tyler Johnston |
| 497 | |
| 498 | The de facto leader of the skids and aspiring DJ. His lust for Katy causes no small amount of conflict early on. |
| 499 | ---- |
| 500 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: To Katy, sort of. She doesn't seem to mind, but Wayne and the other hicks certainly do. |
| 501 | -->'''Wayne''': Fuckin' greasiest skid I ever seen, Criss Angel Mindfreak-lookin' motherfucker. |
| 502 | ** Most definitely to Tanis. |
| 503 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: He tends to be indignant when people insult him, but when Katy roasts him as part of her standup performance, he just smiles and shrugs. |
| 504 | * BiggerIsBetterInBed: If what Wayne said about the time that he accidentally saw him naked is any indication, Stewart is very well-endowed. Judging by Katy's reaction, she is quite crestfallen that they broke up before they had sex. |
| 505 | -->'''Wayne''': I'll tell ya what, it looked like a deflated football hangin' there. |
| 506 | -->'''Katy''': ''Fuck.'' |
| 507 | ** And judging from the commentary of his lovers through the series, he definitely follows through. |
| 508 | * CatchPhrase: "Wondrous." |
| 509 | * CharacterDevelopment: Subverted, following an Intervention in Season 5, Season 6 has Stewart going sober, cutting his hair and acting more confident. Unfortunately, this all goes out the window once Gae leaves. From Season 7 onwards Stewart more or less reverts to his Season 1 personality, growing his hair long again, diving back into drugs. The only noticeable development since is his body bulking up. |
| 510 | * CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: Mocked with all the Skids, but particularly Stewart. Stewart's "rebellion" consists largely of taking drugs and being off-putting, and it only makes him ''less'' cool and appealing. He's actually pretty cool once he takes 20% down off it - Katy's attracted to his sensitivity and Wayne realizes they share interests and attitudes towards life. Best exemplified by the season 4 finale when Stewart assumes his famous jock cousins, Hudson and James Bay, hate him - turns out they always wanted to hang out, have a Puppers and play some NHL (rips are a hard no though - but it turns out some of the Hicks are absolutely game). |
| 511 | * DashinglyDapperDerby: Also his HatOfAuthority. |
| 512 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: Stewart gets really into the idea of being a vigilante in season 6. He, Gae and Roald make an enemy in the process, but he and Gae don't take said enemy seriously, even when it's made clear that the guy knows where they live and is ready to throw down. When the guy and his friend pull knives on them, Stewart and Gae are visibly shocked and wind up giving up on the vigilantism. |
| 513 | * EveryoneHasStandards: He ''did'' steal the money from a church bake sale, but only as a harmless prank to get back at Glenn, and gives it back after a few hours without being prompted. He was also disgusted when he learned Jivin' Pete was passing out Gail's nudes and promised that he'd let 'the right people' know |
| 514 | * HeCleansUpNicely: His typical look is derided as greasy and unattractive. However, when he cuts his hair and dresses up for the club in Season 6, he has no trouble attracting attention. |
| 515 | * HiddenDepths: Wants to be a DJ and doesn't seem to be too bad at it, from what we've heard. He also likes rap music and has an encyclopedic knowledge of hockey, to the point that it even convinces ''Wayne'' to hang out with him. When asked for a woman he respects by Professor Tricia, he cites a female soccer player, showing knowledge of that sport as well. He's also repeatedly shown to be a competent programmer and has a decent grasp of business and finances. |
| 516 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: While he'd deny the accusation, it's pretty obvious from his occasional friendly interactions with Wayne and the Jocks that Stuart just wants people to like him. He looked devastated after Tanis ripped into him claiming that the people around him just want him to disappear. |
| 517 | * IKnowMortalKombat: He's '''''really''''' good at dodging in a fistfight, which he attributes to playing a lot of VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution. |
| 518 | * MoralityPet: Arguably to Katy. She doesn't tolerate his bullshit, but she obviously has a soft spot for him and will leap in to defend him if he needs it. She'll also help him if he needs it without question, like when she joined his intervention in season 5 and came to the rescue in season 6. |
| 519 | * OddFriendship: Forms one with Wayne over their shared love of hockey. |
| 520 | * RelationshipUpgrade: He and Gae become partners in season 6... |
| 521 | * SoHappyTogether: ...but they, unfortunately, have to break it off after it becomes too dangerous for Stewart and Roald to stay in the city. |
| 522 | * TechnicalPacifist: Outright states that he will not hit another human being under any circumstances. He will, however, [[WrestlerInAllOfUs use grapples and slams.]] [[spoiler: During the final brawl with the Degens to save Darry, he and Roald act as a distraction with fireworks instead of fighting, something they perform well.]] |
| 523 | * ThenLetMeBeEvil: Not evil, ''per se'', but it's been implied on rare occasion that Stuart acts the way he does because [[IJustWantToHaveFriends of the way people treat him.]] |
| 524 | --> '''Stuart''': I've been a skid for as long as you hicks have called me one. |
| 525 | * TookALevelInBadass: Stewart is a huge wimp, but he starts working out in season 8, gets fighting lessons from Tyson and Joint Boy, and even takes down a big city drug dealer. |
| 526 | * TookALevelInKindness: He's still snarky and often dismissive of the others but more willing to hang out as the series goes on. His insults during the comedy night at MoDean's 3 appear to be just friendly chirping and he's shown laughing in a "well, they're not wrong" way when the performers insult him. He and Roald work with Reilly and Jonesy to try to [[spoiler: convince Katy to stay in Letterkenny instead of moving to Mexico]] and during the series finale sincerely thanks everyone for showing up to his second rave. |
| 527 | * WrestlerInAllOfUs: Stewart doesn't seem to understand the difference between pro wrestling and real fighting. He genuinely thinks that, when he has an opening, he's supposed to go for Wrestling/JohnCena's Attitude Adjustment and pin the other guy for 3. |

| 531 | !!Roald |
| 532 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Evan Stern |
| 533 | |
| 534 | TheLancer of the Skids. Tiny, neurotic and openly and proudly gay. |
| 535 | ---- |
| 536 | * AbusiveParents: Roald's parents were less than accepting of his sexuality, which may be how he ended up with the Skids. |
| 537 | * AffectionateNickname: Gae calls him 'Roaldie'. |
| 538 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He's one of the more pleasant characters in the series overall, but he's also an absolute animal in a fight who's not afraid to fight dirty. |
| 539 | * CatchPhrase: He often exclaims Stewart's name while strangling the vowels, so it sounds more like 'Stwrrt!' |
| 540 | * CombatPragmatist: He holds his own alongside Stewart, Joint Boy, and Tyson in a fight. Unlike the other three, who are decently to very well muscled, Ronald resorts to weaponizing beer bottles, cracking his opponents kneecaps with them, and using the shattered remains to ''gouge out eyes.'' |
| 541 | * HiddenDepths: In the Easter special, Glen and the hockey bros walk in on Roald contentedly painting an enormous self-portrait. He also has an ''"inspiration board"'' full of character studies and sketches for his... ''"personal entertainment,"'' that he apparently drew himself. |
| 542 | * IncompatibleOrientation: He's in love with Stewart, who supports him but isn't interested. |
| 543 | * InelegantBlubbering: Is besides himself when Gae has to leave at the end of season 3, he can barely say through his hysterical sobs that he likes her and doesn't want her to go. |
| 544 | * {{Keet}}: Very high-energy and very adorable. |
| 545 | * TheLancer: Once Devon moves away, Roald fills this role for the Skids, with his more timid nature contrasting with Stewart's confidence and reckless ambition. |
| 546 | * LethalJokeCharacter: Roald is tiny, borderline neurotic and looks like he'd fly away in a strong wind. But when he, Stewart, Joint Boy and Tyson go up against a drug dealer and his henchmen, Roald turns out to be a total animal in a fight, knocking one guy down by smashing a bottle across his knees and then gouging his eyes. |
| 547 | * NiceGuy: He's quite pleasant to nearly everyone as part of his timid, passive nature. |

| 555 | ---- |
| 556 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Stewart. |
| 557 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Will steal and do drugs like the rest of the skids, but calls their vandalism "two-bit". |
| 558 | * TheGenericGuy: When compared to Gae or Roald. He's essentially a closer-to-earth Stewart. |
| 559 | * {{Jerkass}}: Sabotaged Stewart's concert to convince him that nobody else cares about him so that he'd keep using and selling meth. |
| 560 | * TheSmartGuy: Creates Fartbook, makes a successful political ad, likes reading Murakami, and seems to be the all-around brains of the group. |
| 561 | * ToxicFriendInfluence: As mentioned under {{Jerkass}}, Devon's willing to destroy Stewart's ambitions to make sure he keeps selling meth. |
| 562 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Spends a big chunk of season 2 feuding with Stewart. |
| 563 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Devon abruptly leaves town in season 3. The Skids spend a couple of episodes wondering where he went and why, but then forget about him and don't mention him again. |

| 569 | |
| 570 | A later addition to the team as well as the only female skid. Founding member of FAKU. |
| 571 | ---- |
| 572 | * AffirmativeActionLegacy: Came in just in time to replace Devon, a male. |
| 573 | * TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: Her mother is a psychologist who is either unable or unwilling to deal with her daughter acting out. |
| 574 | * CommutingOnABus: She leaves at the end of season 3, has a guest appearance in season 5, then is around for part of season 6, before leaving again and not returning. |
| 575 | * ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: After the city drug dealer shows up with knives to attack the skids, Gae sends Stewart and Roald back to Letterkenny to protect them. |
| 576 | * MonsterClown: Dresses up as one when she goes on vandalism sprees. |
| 577 | * NietzscheWannabe: Comes off like this, with her claims that she hates the world, her parents and herself. |
| 578 | * OhCrap: When the dealer and his friends pull knives on the Skids at the club, Gae looks genuinely shocked and alarmed, and later tells Stewart that they need to break up and lay low for a while. |
| 579 | * PetTheDog: One genuinely wholesome (relatively-speaking) act she does is create (with the help of Stuart and Roald) and sell a strain of roofies that discolours a drink to prevent date rape. Her logic (which isn't incorrect) is that people are inevitably going to do drugs at the club, so they may as well distribute something that can't be used badly. |
| 580 | * PsychopathicWomanchild: Easily the most outwardly malicious of the Skids, and her love of wanton, pointless destruction, general selfishness, and amoral tendencies make it obvious that there is something genuinely wrong with her. |
| 581 | * RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: She makes it a point to make a date rape-proof drug to distribute. |
| 582 | * RelationshipUpgrade: She and Stewart get together in season 6. |
| 583 | * SixthRanger: Only added to the Skids later on. |
| 584 | * UnfortunateNames: Causes some confusion when she introduces herself to the other skids. |
| 585 | * VagueAge: Her comments about how she was sent to Letterkenny for things like staying out past curfew and kissing boys imply that she's in her late teens, maybe a little older, but there's no clarification. |
| 586 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In season 6, she and Stewart have to break up after a drug dealer threatens to kill them and actually pulls knives on them at a club. Stewart and Roald go back to the city, and Gae disappears to parts unknown. However, she's not mentioned after season 7, even after Stewart takes down the dealer in season 8, which would theoretically make it safe for him and Gae to reunite. |

| 598 | * TheVoiceless: They got their first on-screen line in season 8, and it's growling Stewart's name. They get another line in season 9, saying a total of three words. Not each, but in total. In season ten, they get to say Stewart's name again, once each. |

| 636 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: She's a dark-haired DudeMagnet who, while polite and kind, tends to be more detached from the rest of the town's antics. |
| 637 | * AudienceSurrogate: When she appears, it's not uncommon for Bonnie to make a quip about how odd the town and its people are. |
| 638 | -->[[HereWeGoAgain "And that's how the rumour mill of Letterkenny begins to churn..."]] |
| 639 | * DudeMagnet: To practically every guy in Letterkenny (except Wayne.) In Season 9, [[spoiler: Stewart, Reilly, Jonesy, and Dary all try to get her attention at the same time.]] |
| 640 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Katy makes no attempt to hide her attraction to her. |
| 641 | * GreenEyedMonster: She occasionally gets ''very'' jealous when around women who Wayne is dating or showing an interest in. |
| 642 | * MsFanservice: Even more so than Katy. |
| 643 | -->'''Caller''': Hey, uh, [=McMurray=], what's the best way to connect a three-point hitch? |
| 644 | -->'''[=McMurray=]''': When connecting your trailer to your tractor with a classic three-point hitch- |

| 646 | * NewJobAsThePlotDemands: If a new business opens in town, Bonnie will likely work there for at least a bit. She at one point mentions working two doubles at two different bars ''on the same day.'' |
| 647 | * NiceGirl: Bonnie is noticeably sweet and kind to pretty much everyone (though Jonesy and Reilly's immature bro antics eventually manage to exhaust her patience and goodwill), and nobody in the town seems to have a bad opinion of her. The only exception is [[spoiler: Marie-Fred.]] |
| 648 | ** This exception may in part be explained by Bonnie's GreenEyedMonster tendencies whenever Wayne is dating someone else. |
| 649 | * OnlySaneWoman: Bonnie is arguably one of the most "normal" characters in the series, and is the quickest to note the strange behaviour of the rest of the town. Even her quasi-obsession with Wayne is toned down significantly in later seasons. |
| 650 | ** Best exemplified when she walks into a SeriousBusiness fishbowl discussion between most of the town... about potato chip flavours: |

Also, don't double-cross her unless you want her to start lighting half your town on fire. |
| 670 | * BetterAsFriends: She and Wayne date for a while, but eventually decide that while they're sexually compatible, they're not romantically compatible. |
| 671 | * BigSisterInstinct: She wants what's best for her young cousins and does whatever she can to make that happen, which includes keeping them interested in hockey so they don't have negative influences. [[TruthInTelevision Given that the people of the First Nations tribes in Canada have often been underserved by social programs and this has had negative repercussions societally, this is a legitimate concern for her to have.]] |
| 672 | ** She verbally rips into a girl who's been harassing Jonesy and Reilly nonstop for over a week, warning her to stay away from Tanis's boys. |
| 673 | * ChefOfIron: Very, ''very'' serious about her skill behind the grill, to the point where even the Hicks defer to her. |
| 674 | * DoNotCallMePaul: One episode has characters (such as Ron and Stewart) begin to call her "Tanzy." She promptly and flatly states that she'll end each of them if it becomes "a thing." |
| 675 | * EveryoneHasStandards: While easily the most amoral character outside of the skids, Tanis has lines she won't cross, a big one being selling cigarettes to minors. |
| 676 | * FriendToAllChildren: She's always looking out for the kids on the Rez and coming up with ways to keep them from getting in with the wrong crowd. |
| 677 | * HeroAntagonist: Had nothing against Wayne or the rest of the Hicks, but her revenge on the town made her an enemy by default. |
| 678 | * HiddenDepths: When the Kerry County Eagles enter the national tournament, she proves a skilled live sports director, to the point that TSN co-produces the finals with her crew. |
| 679 | * HoistByTheirOwnPetard: In the season 1 finale, Tanis and Wayne come to an agreement that would have allowed everyone to leave without a fight. However, Tanis then decides to give Stewart a very nasty TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, which pisses Katy off, so Katy kicks Tanis in the box and instigates the fight anyway. |
| 680 | ** In addition, Tanis also screwed herself over by burning down the new produce stand- before that, the Hicks had nothing to do with her grudge against the Skids and would likely have stayed out of it, but afterwards, they're solidly against her and Wayne holds that grudge for a while. |
| 681 | ** She tried to rip off a popular energy drink brand, knowing they would be too afraid of the PR hit for suing a small-time Native owned business to do anything. Instead they hit her where it hurts by getting the Native hockey team (which she owns) retroactively disqualified from the championship they won by proving they had non-Native players. |
| 682 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's absolutely tough as nails, but she genuinely loves her family, her tribe, and values her friendships with the people in Letterkenny (even if she would be caught dead before she showed it). |
| 683 | * TheLadette: Absolutely loves drinking, fighting, and sex, and is a pro behind the grill. |
| 684 | * MamaBear: Fuck with her people, and she will stop at nothing to get her revenge. |
| 685 | * NotSoAboveItAll: It is incredibly difficult to faze Tanis, but even she is visibly struggling greatly to not crack up when Shoresy is chirping Jonesy and Reilly in the locker room while she is trying to recruit the three of them for her team. |
| 686 | * NotSoStoic: She is barely able to contain her excitement and awe at being on TSN in Season 8 and completely loses her composure. |
| 687 | * OneHitKO: Personally throws Hard Right Jay to the ground and knocks him out with one punch. |
| 688 | * RealWomenNeverWearDresses: Invokes this when Wayne buys her a grilling apron as a Christmas gift, which strikes a little too close to StayInTheKitchen for her, and Wayne has to explain that he bought it because he thought she'd get a kick out of what the apron said ("WHY YOU ALL UP IN MY GRILL?") due to how annoyed she gets when people get between her and the grill. Fortunately, once she gets the joke, she eases up. |
| 689 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The Skids fucked her over by reselling cigarettes that she had sold them at a steep discount, so she went on an [[KillItWithFire arson spree]] until she either got her money back or felt that she had sufficiently made her point. |
| 690 | * SexForServices: Gets the [=BroDude=] marketing representative off her back by offering to sleep with her. This quickly evolves into a full-on collaboration between their brands. Note that Tanis made it clear before the deal was struck that she wanted to bang. |
| 691 | ** She also arranges a bet with the Eagles' first coach, offering to blow him if his team beats hers. However, she makes it clear that she would have done this regardless of the bet, since she found him attractive. |
| 692 | * StatuesqueStunner: She's the tallest woman of the main cast at 5'10, and has no trouble attracting male attention. |
| 693 | * TheStoic: A nuclear weapon could go off next to her and the woman probably ''still'' wouldn't be fazed. |
| 694 | * SupremeChef: She's a master in front of the grill, and her cookouts are a big-ticket event because of it. |

| 703 | ---- |
| 704 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: To Wayne. |
| 705 | * CampGay: So very, ''very'' camp. |
| 706 | * DeepSouth: Affects a Southern accent, even if we don't know for sure where he's from. (He apparently spent a decent part of his early childhood in Kentucky due to his parents being missionaries.) |
| 707 | * HiddenDepths: It's revealed in ''May 2-4'' that he's a licensed pyrotechnician. |
| 708 | * {{Keet}}: Glen does not run out of energy. When he and Skids do a job swap, even they run out of their meth-high energy before Glen even breaks a sweat. |
| 709 | * MadLibsCatchphrase: Constantly compliments women by saying they look like various film stars. |
| 710 | * TransparentCloset: It could not be more obvious to everyone that he is gay. |
| 711 | * WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: Works as a [[InsistentTerminology waitress]][=/=]bartender at various establishments around Letterkenny to supplement his income. He even shows up as a nurse/receptionist in the new clinic in season ten. |

| 718 | The town's agricultural auctioneer, who's frequently called on to MC other events around town. |
| 719 | ---- |
| 720 | * BiggerIsBetterInBed: According to Gail, he is extremely well-endowed. |
| 721 | * MotorMouth: Slips into his auctioneering voice all the time, even when he's not auctioneering. |
| 722 | * PronouncingMyNameForYou: Constantly has his name mispronounced as "Dickskin," which he insistently corrects. |
| 723 | * TallDarkAndHandsome: He stands at 6'9, has dark hair, and is quite attractive. |

| 726 | [[folder:The Ginger and Boots]] |
| 727 | !!The Ginger and Boots |
| 728 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Unknown (their actors are uncredited) |
| 729 | |
| 730 | Two quiet guys who hang around Letterkenny and occasionally help out in a fight. Most well-known for [[BestialityIsDepraved what they did]] to the ostrich ([[RunningGag allegedly.]]) |
| 731 | ---- |
| 732 | * BestialityIsDepraved: They fucked an ostrich, allegedly. It should be noted that when Wayne and Tanis discussed this right in front of them, The Ginger and Boots made no move to clarify or deny it. Notably, when one of the Skids runs away from them during the scrap with the Natives at the end of season 1 (even though they are on one side), both are initially confused but then gesture to each other in a "yeah, that makes sense" matter. |
| 733 | * TheDreaded: Their mere presence is enough to ward off the Degens from upcountry. In addition, Tanis was willing to accept less money than she was owed and a ban on Letterkenny if it meant she and her boys didn't have to fight the ostrich fuckers. |
| 734 | * ExtremeOmnisexual: Allegedly. |
| 735 | * FlatCharacter: Practically the only recurring characters to never get any sort of development. In fact, their most defining trait is what they allegedly did to the ostrich. |
| 736 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Everyone in town is disgusted by them due to the oft-mentioned ostrich incident, but they're occasionally brought along as backup in a fight. |
| 737 | * GodzillaThreshold: They're known to be quite tough, but Wayne will only bring them to a fight as a last resort. |
| 738 | * InsistentTerminology: Whenever they're brought up, expect any reference to what they did to the ostrich to be followed by "allegedly." |
| 739 | * OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Any mention of them tends to go hand-in-hand with the (alleged) ostrich incident. |
| 740 | * PhraseCatcher: Say it with us: "Allegedly." |
| 741 | * RunningGag: Started off as one of the first running gags in the series. |
| 742 | * SunglassesAtNight: Always. |
| 743 | * ThoseTwoGuys: Never seen apart from each other. |
| 744 | * TheVoiceless: They seem to never speak. |

| 747 | [[folder:Professor Tricia]] |
| 748 | !!Professor Tricia |
| 749 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Nazneen Contractor |
| 750 | |
| 751 | Dan's Women's Studies professor at the local community college, who he idolizes. |
| 752 | ---- |
| 753 | * AsianAndNerdy: A professor who's portrayed by the Parsi Nazneen Contractor. |
| 754 | * CoolTeacher: Open-minded and understanding, even when dealing with the oddities of the male population of Letterkenny. |
| 755 | * TheGhost: She was originally just mentioned by Dan offhandedly with "Professors Tricias says..." before stating some sort of words of wisdom he learned from her. The International Women's Day Special finally features her first appearance on screen. |
| 756 | * HotTeacher: Is a college professor and an absolute smokeshow. |
| 757 | * InnocentFanserviceGirl: She changes from her work clothes into casual garb in front of Letterkenny's guys. Cue the MaleGaze. |
| 758 | [[/folder]] |
| 759 | |
| 760 | !!The Degens From Upcountry |
| 761 | [[folder:The Degens From Upcountry]] |
| 762 | !!The Degens from Upcountry |
| 763 | |
| 764 | A loose collection of trashy, troublemaking louts, who pretty much nobody other than them can even stand. Members include Jivin' Pete, Sled Ted, Alistair Orson Westwood Yates, and Rat-Ass. |
| 765 | ---- |
| 766 | * AlwaysChaoticEvil: Their focus in season 12 shows them as this. [[spoiler: Their idea of the town's signature wordplay is scamming one of their members into paying the other far more for a truck than it's worth, their use of metaphors like "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" are invariably nasty and cruel, they engage in literal KickTheDog behavior and their idea of Saturday night fun is ''drawing straws to force someone to run while another member shoots at them with a rifle.'']] |
| 767 | * ConflictKiller: The fastest way for any two cliques in Letterkenny to come to an understanding is to team up and fight off an unwanted pack of degens. |
| 768 | * TheCorrupter: Hanging around with degens seems to make people turn into one, as in the case of Jivin' Pete. |
| 769 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: The degens may wreak havoc wherever they go, but even they're disgusted that the Ginger and Boots (allegedly) fucked an ostrich. |
| 770 | * TheFarmerAndTheViper: Wayne tried to help Jivin' Pete turn his life around by giving him a job. He thanked Wayne by constantly showing up late, sleeping on the clock, and generally not taking it seriously in the slightest, and when Wayne made him take some time off to get his priorities straight (without firing him) after giving him innumerable chances, Pete went around town making false accusations against Wayne. |
| 771 | * {{Foil}}: To the Hicks, both as a group and as individuals. |
| 772 | ** Generally: The Hicks live by hard work, respect, helping others, and loving animals. The Degens are never seen doing any actual work, show no respect for other people, trash property, abuse and manipulate each other, harass outsiders, and torture animals. |
| 773 | ** [[spoiler: [[EvilCounterpart Mickey Gibraltar]] wears a similar jumpsuit to Daryl's, and his homophobic language contrasts with Squirrely Dan's respectful language. In many ways though, he mirrors Wayne. Wayne is stern, finds emotion difficult to express, is very respectful of women, and resorts to physical violence to solve problems. Mickey is upbeat, able to emotionally engage, uses very misogynistic language, and uses words to solve problems. Wayne is straightforward, protective of his sister, helps even those who hurt him in the past, and never tries to change anyone to fit his traditional worldview. Mickey is two-faced, encourages people to lust for his sister, swindles his friends, and corrupts Darry to keep him around. In the climactic scrap, Wayne charges in to shield Darry from a possible bullet and participates fully; Mickey is a coward who goes down in one shot from the Toughest Guy in Letterkenny.]] |
| 774 | ** [[spoiler: Mickey's sister [[EvilCounterpart Harley]] and Katy are both sexually active, enjoy chirping, and link groups together (Harley links Darry to the Degens; Katy links the Skids, Hicks, and Hockey Players. However, Katy looks for balanced, healthy relationships, shares her brother's sense of justice, and chirps in a playful way with friends. Harley is part of Darry's manipulation, enjoys the Degens' harm, and chirps in a hurtful way at strangers.]] |
| 775 | ** Much like Jivin' Pete in Season 11, Squirrelly Dan and Darry in the start of the show are recovering drug addicts looking for a second chance. However, they work hard, take responsibility for their actions, and take Wayne's high standards into consideration. Jivin' Pete slacks off, does not acknowledge any fault, and spreads slander about Wayne. |
| 776 | * NeverMyFault: When Wayne confronts Jivin' Pete after being burned by him, Pete utterly refuses to take responsibility for his situation, instead opting to project heavily onto Wayne by making spurious accusations and painting himself as the victim of an unreasonable taskmaster who took advantage of a struggling man and kicked him to the curb when he outlived his usefulness. |
| 777 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Degens are infamous for being racist, misogynist, homophobic, etc., to the point that the Hicks consider them a key part of "degen behaviour." |

| 780 | !!The Quebecois (Les Hiques) |
| 781 | [[folder:Anik]] |
| 782 | !!Anik |
| 783 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Kim Cloutier |
| 784 | |
| 785 | A member of the Québécois faction of hicks whom the Letterkenny group meets while ice fishing. |
| 786 | ---- |
| 787 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: She starts out as an ally to the Hicks until the end of season six when she dumps Daryl. This holds true until the beginning of season ten: having shown up at the end of season nine to reveal that she's now dating Dierks, she dumps him and goes back to siding with the Hicks. |
| 788 | * OfficialCouple: With Daryl in season six. It doesn't last long. |

| 793 | !!Marie-Frédérique |

| 795 | |
| 796 | A young woman from Quebec who Wayne dates for a while. |
| 797 | ---- |
| 798 | * AmicableExes: By Season 10, Wayne has forgiven her and even helps her buy a truck. |
| 799 | * DatingWhatDaddyHates: Her brother, not her father - Jean-Claude adamantly despises Wayne for being English, as well as for being Daryl's friend after [[spoiler: Anik leaves him for Daryl.]] |
| 800 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Everyone just calls her Marie-Fred. |
| 801 | * PetTheDog: Despite [[spoiler: Katy kicking her in the crotch for cheating on Wayne]], Marie-Fred travels to Letterkenny to warn Katy about [[spoiler: Dierks cheating on her]], as well as to apologize to Wayne. |
| 802 | * RomanticFalseLead: An interesting example, as she and Wayne were engaged at one point. She shows up as TheStinger of Season 9 even though Wayne and Rosie are happily dating... and it's revealed that she came to ask for Wayne's help in buying a car in Ontario, though the way she looks back at him at the end of the episode implies that there could be some lingering feelings there. |

| 806 | [[folder:Dierks]] |
| 807 | !!Dierks |
| 808 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/TylerHynes |
| 809 | |
| 810 | An American friend of Wayne's cousin Jake, who immediately gets under Wayne's skin due to his slimy and sexist nature. |
| 811 | ---- |
| 812 | * CatchPhrase: "Boo-boo kitty fuck". |
| 813 | * DirtyCoward: He acts tough and confident when he has his cousins backing him, but the moment things look dodgy, he takes off. |
| 814 | * HateSink: Even disregarding the fact that [[spoiler: he was cheating on Katy]], he's still a rude, disrespectful, obnoxious douchebag who thinks that he's some sort of redneck heartthrob, but is really just a loutish wannabe country boy loser. He is tellingly disliked almost instantly by everyone he meets (all of whom visibly struggle to hide their contempt for him, especially Wayne), and it is only out of a need to not alienate Katy and drive her closer to him that they bite their tongues. |
| 815 | * InSeriesNickname: 'Long Dick Dierks'. |
| 816 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Was on the receiving end of one from most of the main characters after [[spoiler: he cheated on Katy.]] |
| 817 | * TooDumbToLive: The second that he cheats on Katy, the whole town of Letterkenny kicks the shit out of him, despite Wayne's warning that hurting her would be painful for him. You'd think he'd keep a wide berth from the town after this, but he shows up at the end of Season 9 and into Season 10, runs his mouth, and promptly gets the shit kicked out of him a second time. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And gets dumped by Anik.]] |
