Edward Norton Calls Trump a "10-Ply-Super-Soft Bitch" in 'Letterkenny'-Inspired Rant

Canadians get to be in on the joke for once

Edward Norton tore into Donald Trump in a viral Twitter thread earlier today, criticizing the soon-to-be-former president for his "tactical delay of the transition" of power to president-elect Joe Biden.

The multi-tweet rant was met with both delight and despair in the extended Twitterverse, but one community on the platform was especially pleased with Norton's work due to a subtle reference to the Canadian comedy series Letterkenny.

"I will allow that [Trump is] also a whiny, sulky, petulant, Grinchy, vindictive little 10-ply-super-soft bitch who no doubt is just throwing a wicked pout fest & trying to give a tiny-hand middle finger to the whole country for pure spite, without a single thought for the dead & dying," Norton wrote in part of the thread.

The hook for fans, of course, was Norton dropping the rural Ontario show's devastatingly succinct chirp, "10-ply-super-soft," against Trump, an insult hurled between characters on a regular basis in the show. 

One user responded: "In addition to this incredibly astute and eloquent summation of the situation, I'm here for what might be a Letterkenny reference in this section."

Norton's replies have since blown up with Letterkenny .gifs and memes from jeering, opportunistic Canadians who finally get to be in on the joke.

The actor's timing couldn't be better, as the beloved Crave show announced its Season 9 premiere date earlier this week.
