Joint Boy

**Joint Boy** is a recurring character on *Letterkenny*, played by Joel Gagne. His real name is unknown; he is called Joint Boy "because he smokes lots of joints" (Super Soft Birthday). His middle name is John (Bock et Biche).

## Biography

Joint Boy comes to the attention of the Hicks as one of the many coming to challenge Wayne for the title of toughest guy in Letterkenny. Wayne had not heard of him as Joint Boy had been jailed for assault, after beating up a guy for "pushing up on his sister" (Super Soft Birthday), something Wayne thinks highly of him for.

Dan's description of him is enough to cause Daryl to suggest calling in the Ginger (Super Soft Birthday):

> I've seen that guy take on four bouncers at the rippers one time. He is otherworldly. Got a dome on him like an Easter Island statue.… — Dan
>
>

> Well, I'm not gonna sugar coats it for you, Wayne. This guy looks like an Australian rugbies player, chiseled out of stones. Got this big entourage of guys, bald-headed, bearded dudes what looks like a whole bunch of surly uncles. — Dan
>

Joint Boy and his entourage show at Daryl's birthday party—coming up onto the property, which annoys Wayne. He courteously offers not to fight, as Wayne had fought Angie's beau partly to defend Alexander, who is Joint Boy's second cousin, and points out that they "are all Hicks here". As Wayne did not know who Joint Boy was, however, he does not consider it a favour, and the two begin their fight. Wayne takes far more hits from Joint Boy than his two previous challengers, and is briefly knocked down, but ultimately he is still victorious. He then invites Joint Boy to join the party (Super Soft Birthday).

After that, Joint Boy often backs up the Hicks when they are in need of a fighter, whether heading to the Rez (The Native Flu) or to beat down the degens who trashed the sled shack (Sled Shack). Later, he is often seen in the company of Tyson. Reilly and Jonesy encounter them practicing on the ice and offer them places on the Letterkenny Irish as enforcers (The Battle for Bonnie McMurray).

> I'm dogshit, but I can beat the fuck out of 95 percent of the population on earth — Joint Boy

He is given sweater number #28 in honor of tillyers Tie Domi, Eric Godard, and PJ Stock, not to mention Colton Orr, and told to pretend Derek Boogaard wore it as well (Bradley Is a Killer).

He and Tyson often work out together at the gym, where they ignore Reilly and Jonesy's training advice.

Joint Boy is a formidable competitor in the Letterkenny Adult Spelling Bee, but once Tyson runs out of joints, he collapses (Letterkenny Spelling Bee).

## Appearance

Joint Boy is a large, heavily muscled man with a shaved head and 5 o'clock shadow. He usually dresses in a long-sleeve raglan T-shirt and jean shorts, and smokes many, many joints.
