I’m sure Shoresy is going to be an entertaining show. He was obviously such a popular part of Letterkenny to where Jared Keeso flexed the spinoff into fruition, and even went so far as to produce an entire fluffy phone-in of a season in order to help establish it. And the 30 second teaser of the show is about everything I’d have expected from a show where Shoresy will be getting the entire spotlight, except for the very ending of it.
Spoiler alert, the teaser does the one thing that is never done throughout all of Shoresy’s appearances in Letterkenny. I mean it was inevitable that it was going to happen, considering the show is now entirely about Shoresy and not just a cameo where he makes crude sexual jokes about Jonesy’s and Riley’s moms. And everyone knows that it’s Keeso playing a second role, but still there’s something about the premature reveal that I feel as if the show has already given away a layup of a buzz maker.
Or maybe they’re just that confident that the show will succeed, to where they don’t feel the need to bother trying to play the conceal game any longer.
Either way, I’m definitely going to watch the show when it eventually drops. I’m no hockey expert by any stretch of the imagination, but seeing as how the last three seasons of Letterkenny were all leading up to this and they were still interesting, I figure Shoresy will be much of the same without any of the other residents of Letterkenny needing any screen time.
All the same, impressive flex by Keeso to have gotten himself another gig, especially considering Shoresy was probably a joke at first, but really snowballed in popularity to where all of this could even be possible.
