Am I the only one that doesn't get "Letterkenny"?

It's well written and has a constant streamy of funny lines. But the stiff, straight-faced delivery I find annoying. I watched the first 2 episodes and gave up. And I enjoy most Canadian humor. Corner Gas is one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else?

It’s more like Trailer Park Boys, but the main characters are smarter.

The delivery seems a little stilted but kinda natural to me. Maybe it’s from listening to rural Canadian hockey player interviews or childhood visits to the highway 2 corridor between Calgary and Edmonton. I like canadian humor in general too.
