I love how Alexander's pitch is just completely down the middle as far as reasonableness goes. It's got some pros and some cons, and he really has thought everything through. It's so unremarkable, yet the scene is still transfixing. It's genuinely hard to understand how someone is even able to write dialogue like this.
Yet for a grump and a twat's wedding, I'd gather this here dialogue is pretty comprehensible given the fact that there's always a pair in this heirloom of a vine we all grow up with. It pretty much writes itself like April showers bringing may flowers. Alexander's pitch is just completely down the middle as far as reasonableness goes
Its quick paced to keep you interested, as well as demonstrate the intelligence and shrewdness of the characters, without being over the top. Sprinkle in some goofy dialog ("hes a grump and she's a twat" and the gag of $25 being too much) and you've got engaging dialog
Everything about this scene is a masterpiece. Starting with Alexander wearing the helmet backwards and his bike immediately toppling over after putting down the kickstand.
Hard agreed. It's surprisingly difficult to film something like this because everything needs to go perfectly wrong and the actor needs to just handle it. Letterkenny is a subtle masterclass in filming stuff which you wouldn't normally catch.
Letterkenny has mastered some kind of art of repeating the same scenario with small variations. The Halloween episode is a perfect example. It's the same scene like 4 times with the same starting dialogue spoken by the same characters and it still manages to kill.
it was funny at first, but it’s gotten old. the same old plug and play formula with changing variables.. it’s tired at this point that said, this particular clip is pretty good, as it breaks just a bit from the established routine
The fact that this scene starts with the bike, the backwards helmet, and the “why can’t you hear a dinosaur pee?” joke and almost none of that is mentioned in the comments is hilarious, and reflects how hilarious the rest of the scene is.
Except for the accent this is every stupid Southern conversation I've ever had it just takes four times as long in the south...me and my sister mama was having a steak dinner for our wedding to raise funds for our son brother ding ding ding ding ding ding
Jeff McEnery (Alexander) is always hilarious. I was at the funeral for his aunt a few years back and he was asked to speak, as he had lived with her for a couple of years (family politics, doncha know). The stories he told and the way he told them, with both humour and reverence for his aunt, were a classic example of working with one's audience and knowing one's crowd. And in any case, his aunt lived on a farm on a back road not far from a produce stand; he's pretty much a natural to be on the show!
I used to do a little pro-am level standup comedy and Jeff came through fairly frequently. Got the chance to not only see him on stage doing everything from a high-polish headline set to testing out new bits on an open mic night, but also just got to hang out with the guy several times. He really is one of the most naturally funny people I've ever met (and when you spend that much time around comedians, that's saying a lot.)
Alexander seems like a good dude. He's awkward but that's how it goes with mental struggles. He worked 48 fiscal hours in incredibly shitty conditions, he's biking around selling beers to raise money for his brother's B&D, and he's asking around in person to invite people to try and get the numbers up so his brother/brother's fiance don't have to be such grumps and or twats on account of a small turnout. I really don't think he's done much to even be mean to people in letterkenny, even the hicks are sometimes quite harsh to others (sometimes unwarranted). Alexander just doesn't have so much in the way of social Grace
I like that he immediately says it seems a bit steep, but then says it makes sense as its a fundraiser.... then proceeds to complain about it for the entire clip lol
...because that's what all fundraiser ticket sales are like. People make a sport over bitching and moaning about the (reasonable) price, the day it's being held, and yes, little details like ice cream vs. whipped cream. Then, after they torture you for a while, they will buy tickets and go anyway, and spend even more money on the crown and anchor, silent auction, and the cash bar.
Awards are for things that suck but need attention. Letterkenny is awesome so it doesn't need them. Save the awards for the garbage shows. At some point we took the give the losers a trophy thing to the point that only the losers get trophies.
“..and I’ll wash your truck for ya” This one’s make me laugh because of the stark contrast 😂 I’m a city boy and maybe 20% of people have a truck but it’s so ubiquitous out in the more rural places.
Awesome in every way possible Pair of steak dinners with 5 bucks off the second steak dinner I’m all in, and I appreciates the ask even at 25 bucks for a steak dinner
Love the shout out to an Ontario ice cream manufacturer! If Chapmans doesn't put a link to this vid on their website, then they're missing a huge marketing opportunity! Loved the skit! 😁🇨🇦
@Yogi P so I guess there would be no harm done to the locals if they shut the plant and laid everyone off? Loads of companies have a head office somewhere else, doesn't mean they don't provide jobs to local people. Are we not proud of cars built in Ontario, none of those companies are strictly Canadian.
I have only ever been exposed to Letterkenny through memes and gifs, but this one scene has made me realize I need to make some time to watch this brilliant show.
I'm so happy to see how far Keeso has come...I remember when the first season came out...It hooked me right in... 10 seasons later; It's still fun...I don't agree with the Canadian Perspective all the time but, The girls are BEAUTIFUL and the dudes are funny...What more can you ask for?
For a buck fifty, I would hope its Kawarthas. Breyers and Chapmans are good, but nothing beats Kawarthas. If you find yourself headed to Bancroft area, check them out, they are just outside and they got a good choice of flavours.
“You remember how I said he’s a grump and she’s a twat?”
“Yeah?”
“The numbers reflect that.” 😂
Can’t win ‘em all.
That’s THE line for me!!!😂
@@millarddorsey9139 hahahaaa, same! 😂 Gets me every time!
Yeah, I been to that wedding.
The dialogue is great.
I love how Alexander's pitch is just completely down the middle as far as reasonableness goes. It's got some pros and some cons, and he really has thought everything through. It's so unremarkable, yet the scene is still transfixing. It's genuinely hard to understand how someone is even able to write dialogue like this.
And that right there is the genius of Letterkenny
Yet for a grump and a twat's wedding, I'd gather this here dialogue is pretty comprehensible given the fact that there's always a pair in this heirloom of a vine we all grow up with.

“Transfixing” is the perfect word to describe it.
@@brettrcooper I could go for some Trans Fixings right about now
@@Orionsdiscountbelts ok Lucas, Lucas ok, I'd say let's get this guy some F***** poppers
It's unnerving how engrossing this scene is for what's actually being said
Conversation between Canadians is always engrossing to listen to. Like a good podcast.
Its quick paced to keep you interested, as well as demonstrate the intelligence and shrewdness of the characters, without being over the top. Sprinkle in some goofy dialog ("hes a grump and she's a twat" and the gag of $25 being too much) and you've got engaging dialog
Sign of a confluence of good writers, directors, and actors
Is it really "unnerving?" Like those losers that use uncanny or say fever dream to everything. Bbbbbbut this is so underrated.
100%
“Who wants to join a grump and a twat for a pair of steak dinners?” 🤣🤣🤣
Grump
Remember how I said they're a grump and a twat? The numbers reflect that
😂😂😂😂😂
Ya know; for $25, I'd join a grump and a twat for a steak dinner.
Just a bit of balley hoo ..lol
This contains one of Wayne's most best and classic lines:
_"Oh!"_
Yo, why was that so funny
Icecream will do that to ya
Don't forget, "vegetable medleh"
1:52
Most goodest.
"Please tip the barmaid."
And just like that, Alexander is aces in my book.
Always tip your barmaid/bartender 🖤🖤
I love how transparent and sincere Alexander is. He’s not trying to sell you anything, just letting you know how she goes lol
Well, he's not trying to bamboozle. Just a little balley-who, that's all.
well thats just the way she goes
"Nah-now-now-not trying to bamboozles..."
That's just the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't.
"The numbers reflect that." Awesome.
I love Alexander. They presented the guy as kinda "simple", but he's pretty witty and his delivery is so natural.
The deadpan, matter-of-fact delivery is perfect. He knows he is selling a product requiring persuasion.
Everything about this scene is a masterpiece. Starting with Alexander wearing the helmet backwards and his bike immediately toppling over after putting down the kickstand.
It’s the way I’ve seen this clip at least 30 times and I’ve never noticed the backwards helmet until this comment 💀
Hard agreed. It's surprisingly difficult to film something like this because everything needs to go perfectly wrong and the actor needs to just handle it. Letterkenny is a subtle masterclass in filming stuff which you wouldn't normally catch.
yup - I laughed as soon as the bike toppled.....
People who've never tried to "park" a bike on gravel road will never understand that this is exactly what happens every time you try.
The characters are always a pleasure but I attend for the linguistics. Just down right amazing writing and speaking.
Letterkenny has mastered some kind of art of repeating the same scenario with small variations. The Halloween episode is a perfect example. It's the same scene like 4 times with the same starting dialogue spoken by the same characters and it still manages to kill.
I grew up about an hour away from where Jared Keeso is from and I can confirm that the way they talk in the show is only slightly embellished, lol
luv me some filets minions
it was funny at first, but it’s gotten old. the same old plug and play formula with changing variables.. it’s tired at this point
that said, this particular clip is pretty good, as it breaks just a bit from the established routine
Literally typical vernacular combined with comically glib cadence. Not really much for “linguistics”.
The fact that this scene starts with the bike, the backwards helmet, and the “why can’t you hear a dinosaur pee?” joke and almost none of that is mentioned in the comments is hilarious, and reflects how hilarious the rest of the scene is.
Alexander has an eye for arranging a Buck & Doe and that's what I appreciates about him.
Is that all you appreciate at bout him Elox?
Except for the accent this is every stupid Southern conversation I've ever had it just takes four times as long in the south...me and my sister mama was having a steak dinner for our wedding to raise funds for our son brother ding ding ding ding ding ding
Alexander giving his pitch with a fly landing on his left arm and never broke character once, well done.
Wow! I thought I was the only one to notice that!
Why is nobody talking about how Alexander puts the kickstand down on the bicycle, it falls down anyway and he ignores it and carries on? Hilarious
I'm just happy to see more of Alexander!
or that his helmet is backwards
@@williamk.7129 yep, that's the real gold
@@williamk.7129 Must be worn that way soes it's not a bother on his neck when he looks ups.
Is a new season out finally?
For the rest of us Yanks: $45 CAD for a pair of steak dinners is around $35 USD. And that's a decent deal.
Depends on the seasonal vegetable though.
thats £24.86 GBP thats very cheep for a pair of dinners
But if you buy three steak dinners, the prices of the first and third steak dinners stay the same, but you get five dollars off that middle guy.
You always gotta dicker, tho.
I mean, if you go out to the keg in Ontario, a steak dinner runs you 30-45$ these days so i mean... 25's not so bad

Theres shrit on the torlet and in the uriness
Why do I keep coming back to this scene? It’s just so engrossing!
I literally watch this about once a week…nothing happens but it is oral poetry
Love this show, it's like if Trailer Park Boys had been written by Aaron Sorkin.
that is the perfect description I've been looking for to explain this show to friends! thank you!
This is incredibly accurate lol well done good sir.
This comment needs more love
Disagree---Tpb was funny
@@bloolouboyle Without elaboration, that comment is meaningless. “And I suggest you let that one marinate.”
Squirrelly Dan going on about the costs of the steak dinner and the ice cream is hysterical to me
You'd think you would get more Squirrelly Dan for 25 bucks.
You'd think it'd be a fillets minnions for 25 bucks!
I like that he immediately says it seems a bit steep, but then says it makes sense as its a fundraiser.... then proceeds to complain about it for the entire clip lol
You’d think you’d get a 4 minute skit for $25 bucks.
Two words... Fillets Minions.
"Remember how I said he's a grump and she's a twat?
"Yeah?"
"The numbers reflect that"
Dead
The numbers are piddly, tell every tom dick and Harry you know.
That'd be on account of a 25 dollar fuckin steak dinner. 😂😂😂😂
Took me 19 years to figure out why I only had 26 people at my wedding .
can't win em all
Jack, were you the grump or the twat?😉😊
Godamn I loves the dialogues in this show.
Wayne's reaction to Chapman's ice cream is amazing.
And accurate
Fuckin Chapman's, can't get any better than that.
I was hoping I wasn’t the only one who enjoyed his reaction.
They mentioned my workplace ÒwÓ
Breyers 🍦 is a premium US brand but be aware of the labels! 🔍 Some say "dairy product" or may contain milk. Not real traditional ice cream!
I lost it at that part. Hard to go wrong with a tub of chapmans
$25 CAD is $20 USD......
I don't know what these guys are haggling for; that's a good deal for a steak with two sides, a dessert, and a beverage.
Because, you have to dicker...
Don't forget the raffle ticket
And the 5 dollars off the second ticket.
...because that's what all fundraiser ticket sales are like. People make a sport over bitching and moaning about the (reasonable) price, the day it's being held, and yes, little details like ice cream vs. whipped cream. Then, after they torture you for a while, they will buy tickets and go anyway, and spend even more money on the crown and anchor, silent auction, and the cash bar.
Only water or tomato juice for the steak dinner. Other beverages can be purchased at the bar.
Squirrely Dan wants to take about 20 percent off that steak dinner.
Well assuming he buys the second steak dinner, he is taking 20% off. Upsales
As someone who lives damn near Markdale and Simcoe, and a stones throw from Sauble, can confirm this is exactly how this conversation would transpire.
This show deserves an Emmy
I'm surprised they're not getting an Emmy right now!
Awards are for things that suck but need attention. Letterkenny is awesome so it doesn't need them. Save the awards for the garbage shows. At some point we took the give the losers a trophy thing to the point that only the losers get trophies.
Figger it out
" You got er Pontiac!".
Nothing better than Buck N Doe season in rural Ontario, booze raffles and beer slick arena floors.
When i first started watching Letterkenny it was a lot to grasp but as episodes go by i feel like i could join them in a hick or 2 about such and such
These mundane conversations on the show are the best.
My two favorites are the Seedoos for ants and mother Hutchins
Cracks me up that all the visitors stay at the end of the driveway and never get close to the crew
“..and I’ll wash your truck for ya”
This one’s make me laugh because of the stark contrast 😂 I’m a city boy and maybe 20% of people have a truck but it’s so ubiquitous out in the more rural places.
Alexander is so underrated, he needs more airtime.
"That's a GD FACT!"
Awesome in every way possible
Pair of steak dinners with 5 bucks off the second steak dinner
I’m all in, and I appreciates the ask even at 25 bucks for a steak dinner
I found this show just a couple of weeks ago and cannot get enough of it! I’m recommending it to everyone!
Please and thank you!
It Truely is one of those shows that the only downside is you didn't know about it sooner
Did You Know:
The Diane Sweets Restaurant they mentioned now has a "Letterkenny Steak Dinner" in honor of this scene.
and its a downright ripoff is what it is
Does it come with coleslaw?
@@allenswanson2423You'd think 25 bucks would get you some fuckin' coleslaws...
I'm going to Diana Sweets for the steak dinner
@@jimscrimgeour4788 You show me a strip loin with fries and green beans, and I'll say, "hey, now _there's_ a steak dinner."
I must have watched this a million times.. casual, and real as any conversation comes.
The epitome of the “comedy is about rhythm” rule.
I absolutely love the use of repetition of absurdity to make a slightly funny thing 100x times funnier by the end of it.
1:53 mark is all you need , that reaction is priceless.
They cram so many jokes in such a short time and they say it all with a straight face. I'm dying. 😂
“For $25, you’d think you’d get some fuckin’ coleslaw.”
$25 does seem a bit steep for a steak dinner at a stag and doe for a grump and a twat
Well you can't win em all
Alexander is so well written and so well acted! I actually cheered allowed when i saw Alexander again in the later seasons.
It's just... It's absolute poetry. It's so beautiful. I love this show.
Well always gets me is how crazy the dialogue is and how reasonable they are delivering it like it's just normal
If Shakespeare were alive today, he'd be writing for Letterkenny as the only show worthy of his talent.

Love the shout out to an Ontario ice cream manufacturer! If Chapmans doesn't put a link to this vid on their website, then they're missing a huge marketing opportunity! Loved the skit! 😁🇨🇦
Two Ontario ice cream producers. Simcoe is in Ontario too.
"Oh I'd have the Chapman's"
Lots of local flavour in this one. Diana Sweets is a great place.
How is the Chapman's have had it in at least 10 years?
@Yogi P so I guess there would be no harm done to the locals if they shut the plant and laid everyone off? Loads of companies have a head office somewhere else, doesn't mean they don't provide jobs to local people. Are we not proud of cars built in Ontario, none of those companies are strictly Canadian.

Big shoutout to Chapmans. My absolute childhood lmao.
Im from BC but i used to with my grandparents all the time to get chapmans from the factory
I love them all , but this was a good bit ! Alexander is just gold
I'd swear Alexander's a northumbrian. He sounds like every relative and neighbour I grew up around.
My new favorite show. Undeniable!
the dialogue has such a great rhythm to it.
Alexander has a promising side-hustle as a salesman the way he sold those Steak Dinners.
Legendary got a role in resident evil as a helicopter pilot with no lines. What a waste of a practiced linguist.

Good gravy the world needs a slew of new seasons from this show.
It’s crazy how much I love this show.
