Underrated comedies you need to get on your watchlist right now

Initially conceived as a Youtube series in 2013, Letterkenny is one of the quickest, sharpest comedies ever to grace the small screen. Created by actor Jared Keeso, the show is set in a tiny, rural Ontario, CA town (based on the one Keeso grew up in) where siblings Wayne (Keeso) and Katy (Michelle Mylett) run a farm and produce stand with help from their best friends Daryl (Nathan Dales) and Squirrelly Dan (K. Trevor Wilson). This is the through-line for what is more of a situational comedy: every episode focuses on the different residents of Letterkenny and their problems, from bonehead hockey players (Dylan Playfair and Andrew Herr) and dancing goths (Tyler Johnston and Evan J. Stern) to closeted churchgoers (Jacob Tierney) and members of the nearby First Nation Reserve (Kaniehtilio Horn).

Described by cast member Andrew Herr as "Hillbilly Shakespeare," the dialogue is full of quick-witted comebacks, puns, and insanely clever wordplay that is almost always delivered with a kind of poetic cadence. The art is in the repetition: the everyday lingo used by Wayne and co. becomes something the viewer looks forward to in every single episode – and even ends up using their own everyday life.

Bar fights and chirping aside, Letterkenny is a show about community. It's about showing up for each other, standing up for what's right, and making sure no one gets left behind. If the dialogue doesn't grab you, the warmth and heart will.
