Grab a Puppers and get ready to smash some sushis and sashimis because the ninth season of Canadian gem Letterkenny is now available on Hulu, and everyone knows there’s going to be a Donny Brook or two in store. (For any newcomers out there, that’s Letterkenny slang for “fight.”)

The Jared Keeso-created show revolves around the sparsely populated, surprisingly interactive town of Letterkenny. The series originally started as a YouTube sketch called Letterkenny Problems, before Canadian streaming service Crave developed it into its first original production in 2016. Over the course of eight seasons (plus several holiday-themed specials) we’ve all been privy to the intense world-building as Keeso and creative partner Jacob Tierney introduced us to the Hicks, the Skids, the Hockey Players, The Natives, and everyone in between.

With its distinct lexicon, recurring gags, and fast-talking take on small-town Canadian living, the series has earned nine Canadian Screen Awards, embarked on a massive North American tour in 2019, and established itself as a series with a cult following reminiscent of another Canadian classic, The Trailer Park Boys. That could be because, look beyond the traditional stereotypes on which these characters are based, and you’ll find nuanced people full of heart. When you can dig into their lingo and understand what they’re saying, that is.

For those who need a refresher, the last season wrapped with Wayne (not to mention the rest of the town) standing up for Katy (Michelle Mylett) after her relationship with Dierks (Tyler Hynes) derailed. Oh and Wayne’s ex, Marie-Fred (Magalie Lépine Blondeau) showed up to check on Wayne just as Rosie (Clark Backo) walked out of his bedroom.

When the seven-episode ninth season drops, expect Wayne (Keeso), Daryl (Nathan Dales), Squirrely Dan (K. Trevor Wilson), and Katy to continue on a variety of everyday adventures, from attending an American Buck and Doe, to taking a deep dive into Judaism, to participating in random sleepover activities—including girl talk. And what better way to celebrate all the festivities than with a good old fashioned, Letterkenny-approved drinking game?

Whether you’re a schmelt catching up with the series from the beginning or you plan on chirpin’ your buds while binging the new episodes, hows abouts a bottoms up? After all, we don’t intend to be impolite but you don’t want to mess with tradition. And what better tradition is there than beers, a holiday, and Letterkenny? Now pitter patter, let’s get at’ ‘er. (Please enjoy responsibly.)

  • The skids have a dance party in an alley or outside a store
  • Any shot of the Hicks where their faces are blocked by the railing while they’re drinking on the deck
