Awesome / Letterkenny

• Katy gets one when she kicks Tanis right in the junk in the season 1 finale.
  Wayne: An A-1 box shot, ya fuckin' barbarian.
  Katy: I never claimed to be a lady.
• The Added Alliterative Appeal cold opens. Holy crap.:
  Attention: [...] asshole [...] aggressive altercation
• Gae proving herself to the skids in season 3 by standing up to Tanis, and her boys, in a devastating "The Reason You Suck" Speech.
• Wayne one-punching the upcountry degen who honked at Katie in "MoDeans 2".
• On Wayne's behalf - and as a favor for Reilly and Jonesy - Katy gets vengeance on puck bunny Angie in season 3, when she uses lesbian seduction to get her to drop her guard, and then gives her the ol' Katy special. Man, Katy doesn't fuck around!
• The exploits of "Legen-Dary" in the Saint Patrick's Day special. Highlights include beating the almighty shit out of a dude twice his size, helping the gang kick out the degens after they start harassing the girls at the party, and tearing it the fuck. UP. on the dance floor. All while blackout drunk.
• The climax of "Les Hiques" is a surprising one for Daryl. He performs well in the brawl against the degens, taking on several of them and ending up none the worse for wear. Even more importantly, he attracts the attention of Anik, the type of woman he'd spent the episode lamenting that he'd never have a chance with.
• Squirrely Dan's Stand-up routine, and Daryl, Wayne, Dan and Katy's square dance in "The Letterkenny Talent Show".
  • The square dance is also a major moment of heartwarming in the series. Darry is clearly losing it, pouring sweat and panicking as everyone beings subtly laughing at his dancing. Wayne and Katy exchange a look, then wordlessly get up and join Darry onstage, boosting his confidence immediately. Within minutes, Dan, Jim Dickens, the McMurrays, and Gail have all joined in, and the crowd loves it. It truly shows how much the Hicks (and their associates) will help out their friends.
• During a donnybrook at the Rez, Wayne is dazed and in trouble after getting suckered by the biggest and meanest of the degens. Cue Darry. With a beer bottle.
• "We Don't Fight At Weddings" has one for the hicks, after enduring an entire episode of city snobs (aka "citiots") making fun of them for being hicks. They definitely don't fight at weddings, but they ^note that is, Wayne, Daryl, Dan, Katy, Tanis, and Bonnie sure as hell lure them into a hotel room and beat the piss out of them.
  • Some Awesome Music from the same episode (same scene, in fact): How does a gay wedding in Letterkenny have a first dance? With "Fuck The Pain Away" by Peaches. Nice.
• A particularly satisfying scene in Season 5. Tanis and the boys from the res meet Hard Right Jay and the Hard Right protestors... and after listening to Jay's monotonous yammering for a minute too long, they team up with the hicks and give them all a hellish No-Holds-Barred Beatdown, which ends when Tanis personally knocks Jay out with one punch. Ripped from the Headlines; more like Ripped Several New Assholes.
  • Not to mention how the Hicks announce their presence. Jay turns around to see something off-screen knocking over at least three protestors like dominos. It's none other than Squirrelly Dan barreling in like a mad bull. Beware the Nice Ones indeed!
  • This exchange:
  Tanis: Alright, enough chin-wagging. Ain't nothing peaceful gonna happen here today.
  Hard Right Jay: We don't practice violence—
  Tanis: We do.
• During the Letterkenny Adult Spelling Bee, Tanis manages to dismantle almost every attempt to cheat using just a tape recorder and a cell phone. She then wins six hundred bucks on the outcome.
  • Squirrely Dan telling the audience to shut up, with this golden line:
    Dan: As sure as Grandma's got gout, I will staple your tongue to your taint, so you can watch me kick your ass!!!
• McMurray's Dynamic Entry into the fight with the degens in Bock et Biche: a running kick into a degen's chest. And he didn't even wanna be there.
• Wayne's pre-ass-kicking ritual of taking a shot of the hardest alcohol within reach, unbuttoning his cuffs and flicking away his cigarette in slow motion. Flicking a cigarette that smoothly is harder than it looks, plus it's a big, glowing neon sign that something amazing's about to happen.
• Awesome Music: The music editor on the series deserves some kind of award for having that much hard indie rock and alt-rap in a show (every time something badass is about to happen, they use DFA1979, for one), but Susan Aglukhark's "O Siem" certainly gains this status by Season 7, and Tanis happily threatens to kick the ass of anyone who disagrees.
  • According to the FERDA (cast commentary) editions, Jared Keeso picks all the music himself.
• While Wayne can't stand Katy's new boyfriend Dierks, he asserts that Katy is an adult who knows what she wants and can make her own decisions. He does however warn Dierks that if he hurts her, every guy in Letterkenny will be coming to kick his ass and Wayne would be first in line.
  • And he's absolutely right, as the season finale shows. Except for the just the 'guy' part, Gail, Bonnie, Rosie, and Mrs. McMurray are also seen joining the assault.
  • Watch Wayne's approach to Dierks' house. Before every other fight in the series, Wayne calmly walks towards his opponent, taking his time even when others charge ahead. Here, he is flat-out sprinting at Dierks, fully intent on utterly demolishing him. Out of Character Is Serious Business, indeed.
  • As a moment of awesome storytelling, fans have noted that the entire ending scene works perfectly well as a standalone short film. Even in a 2-minute clip without a word of dialogue, the context and relationships of the characters is perfectly conveyed.
  • The Season 9 trailer hints rather strongly at what viewers have expected since Season 8 ended.
    Cousin: Which one o' youse beat the shit outta my cousin?
    (cue thirteen people, including the Hicks, Skids, Hockey Players and Townsfolk that were last seen running towards Dierks sitting at a table together and saying in unison, "That'd be me!")
• Stewart takes a huge level in badass to help out some girls who saved him from a drug dealer, dedicating himself to a strict exercise regime and taking fighting lessons from JB and Tyson. The result is a newly jacked Stewart strolling into a club and dropping a man who threatened to kill him flat on his ass.
  • Roald turns out to be a complete animal in a fight, smashing a bottle across a guy's knees, then leaping on him while he's down and trying to gouge his eyes out.
• The Season 9 premiere reveals an epic Badass Boast by Wayne, after being confronted by a group of Dierks' cousins after the residents of Letterkenny beat the shit out of him.
  Cousin: That's how you do it in Canada then, ehhhh? 8 dudes on one?
  Wayne: To be fair, if there were other dudes there, we woulda beat the shit outta them too.
  • For extra points, Wayne doesn't even bother looking at him while saying this.
• Season 9, episode 2 "Kids With Problems" has a scene where Wayne calls out adults for using children for causes that are clearly beyond their comprehension, including Climate change activism. Considering he's one of the more bull-headed of the hicks, its a great moment of Hidden Depths for him.
• Season 10 kicks off by showing Dierks' return to Letterkenny, accompanied by several of his cousins. The Hicks waste no time beating the piss out of them once again.
• Season 10 has one for Marie-Fred: she knows that the car saleswoman she wants to buy a truck from is gonna try and be a bitch to her because she's from Quebec, and she brings Wayne and McMurray with her to help her not get screwed. She's right, and the saleswoman constantly uses English idioms on Marie-Fred and even adds in a catty "nobody loves drunk driving like the French" snipe to boot. Unfortunately for the dealer, Marie-Fred recorded that little snipe without anyone knowing, and she figured out that the dealer's management is French by way of the secretary slipping in and out of a Québécois accent. She uses the recording and demands either a great deal on the truck or she'll share it with the management and cost the saleswoman her job.
  "You didn't think I'd really let that one go, did you?"
• When Tyson, Wayne, Daryl and Coach explain to Tanis what a prostate exam entails and why they're reluctant to get one, she and Shania demonstrate what a pap smear's like (with Daryl and Glen's assistance), and tell the guys that compared to that, a prostate exam's a walk in the park.
• The Season 10 finale has a dance routine from Roald and Lady C where the two perform an absolutely excellent contemporary number (to a great deep house song to boot).
• The ending to the penultimate episode of the show, ''Stuck":
  • Wayne, without even hesitating, willingly runs into the Degens' Saturday Night ritual to rescue Daryl from being shot. Luckily nobody gets shot, but it is still SO satisfying after nearly a whole episode of seeing loveable Daryl undergo a Sanity Slippage when he falls in with the Degens.
  • A good amount of credit has to go to the others as well: when Dary needs them, not only do Wayne, Katy, and Dan show up, but McMurray, Tyson, Alexander, Roald, Stewart, Coach, Reilly, and Jonesy also back them up at what's going to be a hell of a donnybrook. True Companions indeed.
  • A moment happens for Ronzy and Daxy earlier in the episode, as Mick comes into the convenience store to grab something, and loudly declares them to be "faggots" just for being there and existing in the same space as them (bear in mind, they hadn't done anything to him). The two decide to flip the tables on him and proceed in a game of Horrifying the Horror by leaning in and shamelessly and ruthlessly flirting with him to scare him away.
• In "Over and Out" we get to see the brawl that was promised, and Wayne finally gets to punch Mick's lights out like he richly deserved.
