I can't handle any comedy where the punchline is hicks, because the cringe is too real for me. Can't watch Letterkenney either unfortunately. Spent too long growing up around those people to see them as funny rather than hateful

If you can't distinguish between racist trash rednecks and hicks or other country folks... You haven't been around them enough. Letter Kenny is to duck dynasty as judge Judy is to dog the bounty hunter.

I spent the first 24 years of my life living in rural northern Michigan, where they have more Confederate flags than the Confederacy did.

Michigan, where an extremely diverse college town like Ann Arbor that's listed as one of the most LGBT+ friendly places in the US is only 30 minutes south of Howell, home of KKK members and literal Nazis 'protesting' a stage production of The Diary of Ann Frank

Holy shit. Yeah I had a few friends that lived there and that tracks.

The hick in the movie is hateful in real life

After 2016, Quaid became an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump, and later became a proponent of the disproven conspiracy theorythat Trump's defeat in the 2020 United States presidential election was the result of widespread election fraud. Three weeks after the election, Trump, on his Twitter account, retweeted some of Quaid's video material claiming election fraud and wrote "Thank you Randy, working hard to clean up the stench of the 2020 Election Hoax!"[48]

The hicks in letterkenny are not hateful at all, they're very open minded and accepting.

They do hate on "degens", who are more like the hicks you're familiar with.

It doesn't matter, the real-life associations I have with people like that are too much for me, that's what I'm saying
