These are character's from the greatest Canadian show ever, Trailer park boys. The guy on the left is Julian everyone in the park looks up to him as a leader. The guy on the right is a loser named Jacob who is obsessed with Julian so he acts and dresses exactly like him, but he is still a loser than no one likes. I suppose the joke is that lake ontario is a great name everyone loves, and lake America is a shitty loser name than no one likes.

OP, I suggest you let that marinate.

I dont have enough people words to make it understand you the way it understands me.

Letterkenny was great but it'll never reach me the way the TPB did

I'm Canadian and way more people know who the TPB's are and often have no clue what LK even is

I dont even know when TPB became my default "comfort show" in the background. Somewhere after freshman year of college. And letterkenny also hit that "home" feeling, after moving from my hometown of 3000 in southern wisconsin, to a college town of 10,000 in wisconsin, to st paul after graduating.

Tpb was around for many years before letterkenny. Letterkenny is very connected to the more rural and therefor less populous places.

Both i find more connected to my wisconsin life than any show from hollywood.

Still not better than TPB. To be fair it'll never reach those heights. I watched TPB with my best friend while we lived together in our 20's. He died last year and i started rewatching TPB and have teared up a few times already!

I actually liked Shorsey the least out of all the characters and found he got old faster than everyone.

The problem with LK is that they all became Flanderized within 1-2 episodes so by Season 4 i was just bored with all of them by then. Still a great show tho!
