In this one, I break down one of my favorite shows of all time, 'Wilfred' and solve a few mysteries in the show via a deep dive analysis as well as point out several hidden references that you might have missed. In the first half of the video, I walk you through the important plot points of the show. The second half of the video focuses more on solving some of the shows mysteries. Please like and subscribe if you enjoyed this video. I have a lot more videos like this one on the way.
Thank you to Aida Beats, N9NE X and Prod. Riddiman for the excellent music.
I can confirm that Jason Gann (the creator of Wilfred) has seen this video and said, "That video was cool" LMAO
You’ve finally made it
Wow that's awesome great job man
CongratsBro
congrats bro
I’m not surprised this is the only video on KZhead even talking about Wilfred, such a great show and this video breaks it down perfectly also I really need to get a pack of Wilfreds and re watch this series higher than giraffe pussy just so I can experience it how it should be watched, stoned as a gravel path
the worst part of this show is Wilfred constantly not clearing the bong
Lmao I've said this for years!😂
thats how you now Ryan is truly insane, great foreshadowing
I just finished it and it’s all I could think about as a complaint 😂😂
This show taught me that happiness isn't always getting the girl or living up to expectations. Its about making happiness for yourself even through the ups and downs.
Criminally underrated show
Totally agree
I don’t think it’s underrated, just underwatched
I've been waiting for something like this all my life. It's so hard to find other people that were touched by this series
Man I'm so glad I was able to end your wait. I hope it lived up to what you were looking for.
I felt that, Wilfred wasn’t a very popular show but personally I’ve watched the entire series at least 4 times lol. This was an extremely well done breakdown of the show, big props to the creator👏👏👏
I can't wait to listen to this video minutes ago just finished episode minutes ago.... Out of nowhere my Maltipoo a drop day yellow tennis ball my hand reality mirroring fiction. I too have wrote third draft of a suicide note so that pilot episode really spoke to me I'm excited to see what you're reading on the series was
I love Wilfred and Elijah wood played his part perfectly imo, wish more people talked about it.
And it's so hard to pitch to people! How do I explain what this is?!
My theory is that Wilfred is actually a guy in a costume, and everyone else is insane and thinks he's a dog
Yoooo
true
People have been telling him he is a dog for so long that he started believing it himself
This is a sound theory
Bad theory, I can clearly tell he's not a dog
The Robin Williams scene is pure gold 🥺🙏🏼 rest easy to an absolute king 🤍🤍🤍
I think we all have a childhood connection to Robin. He'll live on in our memories and the amazing films he was a part of.
If you explain this show to somebody on the exterior it’s almost impossible to make it sound good. You just have to watch it. It is seriously the definition of deep
Me trying to explain to my fiance why we should watch it and her reaction being. Sounds weird and creepy lol
and hilarious!
I recently went to a house show dressed as wilfred, a girl asked me if I was eeyore and I asked if she's watched Wilfred and me being drunk, explained "it's a guy who tried to commit suicide but fails and now sees a talking human dog." I think it's a darn tootin good explanation
“Wilfred shows that Ryan never stopped crying” is tragically beautiful
When I watched that part I cried for the first time in a long time
Hits different.
Easily one of the best shows Ive ever seen, it's a shame more people don't talk about this series
I was legitimately surprised to find that I'm the only one whos done a long form discussion on this show. Hopefully my video will inspire more content about the show from other creators.
This my number one favorite comedy show, because it’s so much more. “You’re no crazier than anybody else, Ryan.” “Said the man to the dog.” “Some people can’t handle Vegas.” Pauses, looking over at him. “You can.” Phenomenal writing.
I think it's because people can't get past the fact that the show is a grown man in a dog suit, I really like the original show as well.....
@@ericmoody3944 I quit watching the show after 9 episodes or so just because it felt like almost every bit of comedy in the show relied on Wilfred being an "asshole".
Sadly most people didn't get it, half the time I'd suggest or talk about this show I'd get the "is that the show with the talking dog?" And then I'd proceed to nerd out on how it's a lot more than that
“I’m sad, Wilfred.” God, that moment hit hard. I cried. Wilfred broke his regular character and gave some actual love to Ryan when he really needed it.
Ya. I just recently rewatched it. And I AM really sad these days and that scene made me cry. It was like I identified with the art I was watching. It's when you're so sad you can't even tell anyone because they wouldn't get it. I felt it so much.
Take your damn meds.
When Wilfred says the pills worked, that doesn't necessarily mean they weren't placebos. I think it means the earnest suicide attempt gave Ryan the ego death he needed in order to grow. He was able to let go of being the lawyer's son and wake up the next day to discover himself.
Smoke monster!
Idk that sounds stretchy af, kind of shit your teacher says when analyzing the size of the authors anus. Occams razor suggests that he was fucking with Ryan, because he goes on to talk about an island and a smoke monster, joking about Lost.
This show definitely had a huge impact on me as a 18 year old, dealing with severe depression. I'm 25 now, and I still don't know what it all means, but fuck me it was a good ride.
Pretty much the same exact thing for me man. I was around 18 when I first watched the show and am 25 now. And was going through a very hard time as well. Probably the reason why it had such a big impact on me. The entire point of the show is overcoming adversity and personal struggles and fears so it really spoke to me at the time and still does. Thank you for the comment!
I'm 36 originally watched the show when airing right after my girlfriend committed suicide I also struggle with manic depression this show was always Prozac for me
Can relate hard to this.
I'm 28 but same and season one was my nineteenth birthday gift from her. It came out the year before on my 18th This show shaped the person I am in some crazy ways.
Same man was also depressed and binged this in college. Hope you’re doing good
Wilfred is one of those things I vividly remember every couple months but forget bc it seems like no one else knows about it. Such a beautiful and underrated show
Plenty of people know about this show
One time I brought up I started watching Wilfred and the one person in the group that had heard of it asked me if everything was alright lol
The show reveals itself and answers a lot of its own questions literally from the opening quote: "Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination." - Mark Twain
I am a bit disappointed that Calvin & Hobbes never came up, because that is always what I thought was an obvious comparison. Also, Elijah Wood's performance in this is easily near, if not at, the top of his performances.
I take this comment personally. I was a massive Calvin and Hobbes fan as a kid and I'm incredibly disappointed in myself for neglecting to mention the obvious analogy to Bill Waterson's incredible work. I'm genuinely sorry for failing to include this in the video. Also, I consider this Elijah's best performance after that of Frodo.
@@congratsbro. Hey it is no biggie, we all get tunnel vision from time to time. Easy to overlook something no matter your relation to it! Still an excellent video too! Got me to rewatch the series as well. :D
Good one man. No doubt. And Calvin and Hobbes I always thought was a comic strip that totally encaptured "best friends". No doubt.
I remember watching this showing and finding myself to be a bit too similair to Ryan. Had myself checked out by a shrink, learned that I'm not a schizophrenic, but am schizotypical/prone to psychosis and managed to get to a better point in my life.
Best to avoid cannabis, unlike Ryan. Can cause very bad reactions in those with schizotypical traits.
@@adamlane6453 Aye, only done some very mild hasjish smoking when I was younger... as someone prone to hallucinations I never understood the appeal of actively trying to hallucinate
@@Langharig_Tuig marijuana didn't make me hallucinate after the first few times. and even that is really uncommon. when it comes to psychadelics, the hallucinations are different than what u would find with schizophrenic or psychotic disorders. it's just opening a part of ur brain that u usually aren't able to access, not just hallucinations. sometimes it has euphoric effects and makes music sound amazing, nature look so much more beautiful, the simplest thoughts can be hilarious, etc. if ur having a good trip. and u are pretty much always aware it's the drug causing it and its not real so it's different in that way too.
@@Langharig_Tuig it's not cause if hallucinations. It's because of paranoia. Schizophrenics are already predisposed to paranoia & adding pot on top of that typical sends things south quickly. Just like how psychs can often bring out things that are beneath the surface so if you know someone is severely depressed, psychs can actually accelerate their depression more than alleviate it.
I've always wanted to seek professional help but worry I will be locked up if I do lol
I love your confidence on our attention span, “go watch ‘four seasons of a show’ and then come back.” 🤣
Hahaha
You will be confused and come back 😂
I did!
Have already seen, if you haven't and you're watching this video then you got bare free time to do four seasons
I always forget about wilfred for awhile and then when it comes back to me I start immediately reliving all of the show. What a great and underrated experience.
Basically, Wilfred is the figment of Ryan's conflicting and declining mental state as well as his growth and regression.
41:34 I went to the comic con panel for this in 2011, and they actually talked about this scene. They said they had to keep redoing it because Elijah Wood would take the axe, and hold it. The director said he couldn't do that because once he does, the ace becomes a real object, not just how he sees something.
WOW, that's actually really interesting. It proves that his fence was never damaged at all. That sets a pretty important precedent. It shows that a lot of what we saw could have been completely in his head.
@@congratsbro. im rewatching the show now after years it's interesting trying to imagine how a lot of these scenes really went down
Ryan definitely also stalked a family for days until he learned their schedule, broke into their house while they weren't home so he could pretend Bruce lives there lmao
LOL, I'm starting to wonder if Bruce was actually just a neighborhood dog that Ryan used as an avatar for the character Bruce that he invented in his head, since Wilfred was also technically just his neighbors dog in the physical world. Maybe that house is actually where the dog lived. Especially considering the photos of Bruce with the family.
@@congratsbro. wait so was bruce real or what cause comin back to this video n seeing this comment i completely forgot about bruce and the ending really rewrites some of the show.
@@MrPokebozz i think the takeaway is that Bruce is as imaginary as Wilfred. He's a dog that Ryan imprints a character onto. So when Ryan sees Bruce's photo in the house, instead of seeing the dog, he sees bruce
This series was great, and Jason Gann plays the role of Wilfred INCREDIBLY. Highly recommend this to anybody who's looking for something funny / introspective.
Damn, you cracked it. This show has stuck in my mind for years. Could never figure it out, but couldn't let it go either. It actually came to be an obsession with a menacing vibe, sort of like Wilfred himself. It'a a big relief to have some clarity now. Thank you!
Oh I totally had some nightmares between seasons.
Man this show was such a ride. Ryan is such a relatable protagonist.
How do you think I felt watching it, lol. Felt like it was written for me.
You guys let a dog talk you into doing unspeakable things to a stuffed animal?
@@MrDj232 maybe
@@MrDj232 well Raffi was asking for it. Deepest throat in the stuffed animal kingdom
“Lasted only 4 seasons” I mean 4 seasons isn’t bad
If it was longer it woulda degraded in quality
@@TheKnizzine agreed after 3 season most shows/series go to the shitter in my opinion
Yeah I was confused by that too. Compared to stuff like Space Above And Beyond that only got 1 season before getting cancelled, 4 seasons is plenty good.
I don’t know the terms of it ending, but I felt due for some answers by season 4. If they had to hurry it up and tie a bow on it by FX, you couldn’t tell in my opinion. I know that happened in Bojack Horseman, but heady, philosophical shows that focus on things like growth and mental health can definitely have diminishing returns after awhile.
Most show get two season any more means it a success after 5 its a icon
In that final episode, when Charles lets Ryan use the phone he says "Come on, Krunny. Let's give the man some privacy." to his dog. I just assumed it was a nickname for Krungle. Not really impactful to the story but a random detail I noticed.
I was very depressed in my teens, and this show ran from my sophomore year of high school to my first year of college. I would almost say Wilfred helped me work through my own sadness, so holds an important place for me
This show helped me in such a dark time in my life. It was like a friend that was there for me in ways no one else could be.
Same, man
I agree, it was very comforting. Also I like your last name my G
Holy shit same I almost forgot but I really loved this show and I remember watching it when I depressed asf in college.
@@DannyBoy-lt1oc Same
so f**** true
Craziest part is that you shot this from Ryan’s basement.....
Ahahaha, best comment right here. You win lol.
the ending of this show was both bittersweet and ironic. coming to terms w/ the "fantasy" of a life that you pursue is often times exactly that and all that you have left is the truth of who you are and living with it. i wanted more for ryan but to see him smile and find some peace of mind moved me very deeply. this show was a masterpiece that i think only those who have truly endeavored through trauma/mental/emotional distress can appreciate.
When he held his dog that he lost when he was a kid I cried just a little. Wish I could hold Duke again even if he was a solid 20 or 30 pounds
The episode where Wilfred died made me cry like crazy. So upset that it got taken off of Netflix
It’s on hulu
Not ashamed to say I cried hard the first time seeing that episode.
@Angry Pengu To be fair, the actual dog really seemed to love Ryan. He would go over and scratch on Ryan's door, even if Jenna and Drew hadn't directly asked him to dogsit.
That episode where you can see they walked in and out of the closet blew my mind. I remember seeing that and replaying and pausing it.
Yeah, everything started to click after that.
Which episode was that
@@boastfulhobo6412 They are listed at 34:35
The trailers never did it justice. I remember thinking how stupid it looked when it was first coming out. But for whatever reason I watched it a few years ago and was instantly hooked. Truly a one-of-a-kind show. It's got it all. Its deeper, sillier, more heartfelt, and beautiful than any other show I can think of. You can tell this was Jason Gann's baby. He put so much heart into it and it shows.
This show honestly broadened my creative mind as a teen growing up in high school. It gave me the existential dread and push to be more creative and reflect upon art and the idea of what it means to be crazy in a world that sees you as normal or easily manipulated.
I like how this show used cameo’s to further the question of existence. Like blatantly mentioning Robin Williams or the casting choice of Rutger Hauer who played the leader replicant in blade runner... also Brad Dourif who played Chucky the doll. Long live Wilfred
I find hilarious that Amanda got arrested as the actress who played is facing a fifteen year to life sentence for being a part of a sex cult
WOW, didnt know that. Holy hell thats insane.
She finally got sentenced to 3 years but yeah lol crazzzzyyy
I was wondering if that was her... Very interesting 🤯🤯
Robin Williams was a great comedian when i was a kid and i didnt get it when he started doing drama. But i realize now there was so much depth to so many of his roles and hes one of my favorite actors, for him to accept a temporary part like this on a television series must mean he believed in the script.
I remember the actress from smallville. I wasnt sure it was her because of hair color. But this was such a crazy story.
The scene with him hugging his old dog made me cry so hard... and watching you mention it for like 5 seconds was enough to bring some tears again...god such a well done scene!
Yeah I just lost one of my dogs so that scene just murdered me.
This and the scene where the sheep dog Wilfred is laying dead I'm the vet
"Wilfred" was my very first "cry show". I was forever changed by it. I agree with the sentiment about being surprised over crying for a grown man in a dog costume. Thank you for this video. Sooooo satisfying!
I was always surprised by how dark and existential the show would get sometimes, without ever becoming edgy. Well balanced with the raunchy humor. I think that's why I love this show so much.
I'm so hyped to see that this show has an audience. I binged it like 6 years ago and was completely in love with it. I need to go back and watch it again.
I just watched a 55 minute video about a TV show I have never watched. And thoroughly enjoyed it
"Sanity and happiness is an impossible combination" The very first thing we see on screen with this series literally sums up the whole show.
God I remember watching this in college when I was depressed and loving it. It really helped me a lot and honestly is extremely underrated. I love that a lot of people were in the same place as me when they found this gem.
Same! Depressed and in college 😂
The part when Ryan holds his dead dog from childhood, i fucking bawled. Edit* wrote balled lmao
bawled
balled out!
I too go put my jersey on and shoot hoops when I’m sad
I cried like a bitch
Literally balled watchin this lmao and never seen the show DEFFINATELY gunna watch now
That was super entertaining (and you went hard on that cellar door). Never watched the show, and just sat through this entire analysis... and really enjoyed it. Well done man. As a minor note, I think the music could've been lowered a hair.
Thank you man, I really appreciate the comment. And noted dude. I know a lot of people had a problem with the music and Ill definitely pay more attention in future videos. Thanks for the constructive advice.
I watch you all the time
How KZhead should be ^
@@Jogo614 yesyes! InDEED. how KZhead should be The absolute perfection of "ey, guy making stuff. I'm person watching the stuff, my perspective has helpful input, here's a recommendation." Reply: "thanks, person absorbing the things. I'll gladly take to mind what you've noticed, as our perspectives differ. I'm so glad we each exist."
@@congratsbro. fun trick, compress both to hit these -6db = Music, -3db = Vocals, EQ is up to you.
I watched season 1 of this show, lost interest (in my defense I was too young to understand it anyway), then completely forgot about its existence until I saw this video in my recommend feed. I can't believe I missed out on a psychological masterpiece. I'll be binging this series soon, all thanks to you.
The music is mixed a little loudly, but I'm glad to see someone else talk about it. I only watched it by myself years ago, and couldn't find it again as I was _sure_ Wilfred was played by Jim Jeffries. I really thought I'd imagined it, lol.
I hear you man, and in my latest videos I've really tried to avoid having the music too loud. Thanks bro
@@congratsbro. can you provide a list of the music you use?
I think it’s just a metaphor for mans best friend. Despite all the crazy antics they cause, they really just love you and want you to be happy
I think there are a lot of different meanings to the show. Its got layers. There is definitely an undeniable element of what you're saying. The creator of the show Jason Gann is an animal rights activist I believe. In interviews he often talks about the importance of capturing all of the mannerisms or "dogisms" of actual dogs in the show. The guy definitely loves dogs and its clear that a part of him just wanted to make a show about a guy and his dog solving life problems together.
Dogs don't love you. They were bred for thousands of years to show affection in exchange for comfort. Your ego applies human motivations to animals incapable of understanding how delusional you are.
@@DrFrogglePhD this is y ur not invited to parties
@@Jablickymorant Embarrassing that your feelings are hurt.
@@DrFrogglePhD Nerd
Can’t explain how much this show means to me
Same, I came across it when I was 11/12 years old. The first show that really made me think over the years
After many many years I finally finished Wilfred today and this video was just what I needed.
That's fantastic man. Really happy I could add to the experience.
Had the exact same experience! I started the show in 2014 but didn't finish it until today. After this video I can finally put Wilfred to bed lol
Something very deep and dark..... It's impossible to not to think about this series.... Even after so many years this series kind of haunts me... I don't know whether it's just me or someone else too feels the same...
No no. Definitely a very dark and thought provoking show. I can't explain the amount of dread and fear I felt when I saw that statue of Wilfred for the first time. This show had more horror than most horror movies in the last 10 years.
Absolutely same friend
The pills being found to be placebos in Ryan's mind doesn't mean he didn't die. The revelation that they're placebos could also be a creation of his afterlife.
He also failed to mention he drank a whole bottle of real nyquil so that should’ve caused kidney failure but we see no long term consequences the sugar pills it’s self doesn’t begin to explain the suicide scene
@@Est-dh2go 1 bottle of nyquil wouldn't cause kidney failure
@@SMOK3SCR3EN I read differently
@@Est-dh2go them I’m fucked
@@Est-dh2go Well, even if a bottle ingested in one... sitting I guess you call it, could kill a person, it seems the bottle was half empty/full at the very least a quarter. I know my father, a heavier man than Ryan admittedly, can take down a whole bottle over the course of a day when he is rarely sick. That being said, it's not in one sitting. Unless you have pre-existing conditions or did so regularly I don't think it would kill you but as with all things it is ill advised to consume haphazardly. Stress can do horrible things to the body and I think Ryan had been stressed even before his time as a lawyer, so he could very well have issues in his organs that are/were unknown to him. I think many drug abusers looking for that particular sensation can down a bottle with no immediate issue. Based upon what I heard when I was in highschool. I never associated with those types myself and heard that info directly though.
This got me to rewatch Wilfred for the 4th time. One of the most impactful shows I’ve ever seen.
This show got me through a dark period in my life. It showed me that no matter how dark things may appear there is light at some point. All things must pass
This is the last show I watched on cable every week before streaming got huge!
Really excellent analysis of the show. I love the parallels drawn with Tyler Durden and Donnie Darko. The story arcs involving Amanda were always heartbreaking and never had an especially satisfying closing.
Hey thank you so much! Fight club and Donnie Darko are some of my favorite movies and I couldn't help but notice the similarities. There were even more movies I could have mentioned but left out for the sake of time. And I really wish the show could have ended with some sort of resolution between Ryan and Amanda but it may have lessened the impact of the final message of the show. I think that part of the message was that Ryan had to accept himself and deal with his issues instead of turning to some sort of distraction, Amanda included.
@@congratsbro. I’d be curious to know what other movies you are thinking of that follow similar themes (i.e. perspective of the deluded) as Fight Club, Donnie Darko and Wilfred. The only two I can think of offhand are Beautiful Mind and 6th Sense
@@congratsbro. yeah ! would be nice if you can expand a little more about this
Okay, but for real. This video is incredibly inspiring and it perfectly highlighted why the show was exactly what I needed when it was shown to me. Thank you for making this such an entertaining and digestible exploration. The last leg of the discussion had me in tears.
Man, that really means a lot. Seriously. Thank you for this comment. It means the world to me that I'm actually having a positive impact on peoples lives. Even if its just through a simple KZhead video. Stick around, please. Id love to get your feedback on future projects.
Man I'm not sure why this showed up in my recommended but I'm so happy it did. I loved this show and it reminds me of a time in my life I hadn't thought about in a while. It's hard to find other people who relate to this show and to try to explain it to someone whose never seen it is very difficult.
12/10 on effort. You earned another sub
Andrew, thank you so much man. I'm really glad you liked it. I've got a lot more content planned and the quality will keep improving. Stay tuned my guy
Wilfred is probably my favorite show. I didn’t see it until it was almost off the air. I’d see promos for and just thought it looked dumb. When I finally started watching it I loved it. That was a great commentary man, like really good! Nice job!
Thanks man! I felt the same way haha. First time I saw a clip from the show I was like uuuhhhhh WTF? lol. It is an amazing show and I'm glad I could share my thoughts with other fans of it. Thank you for watching man, really glad you liked it.
I love this show because I like all the theories attached to it on what is actually happening. I like the theory of him actually overdosing and the entire show is in his head and he is imagining it all while being super high, dying.
Your whole theory about the guy who played Frodo revolving around Cellar Door is so perfect.
This show saved my life. I feel very alone as a human but this show made me realise I didn’t feel completely alone. Thank you WILFRED you made me a happier person
Been obsessed with this show for years and this is the first deep dive of it I have seen on youtube. Amazing video man.
Thank you man! Happy you found the video.
I was pleasantly surprised to see elijah wood in this when it came out. Turned into a very memorable series. Thanks for the retrospective I didn't know I needed!
There is no show ever created that compares to Wilfred. Such a special show.
Wow the effort you’ve put into this video is unmatched. Wilfred has always been one of my favorite shows, the amount of detail and effort and how the writers were able to toy with the viewer was just such a joy to experience. I’m happy to have found your video because it gives me an opportunity to rewatch with fresh eyes. Thank you!!! New sub 💜
Wow, what an amazing comment! You're amazing. I'm so happy you enjoyed it and subbed. Seems like the video did exactly what I wanted it to do. Thank you so much for the kind words and the sub. I'm really trying hard to get more videos out. I hope you keep watching! 👍
@@congratsbro. I am definitely going to keep watching to pick your brain! You seem to have a lot of knowledge about TV/cinema. I’d love to see you do a deep dive of more shows/ movies 💜
Just found this show on Hulu and was so confused. And I happened to find this video and was blown away by your commentary. Great work man
Hey man, thank you so much. I'm so glad to hear that people are searching for this show and finding my video. I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
Expect to stay confused because the ending has no real answer.
Honestly the show has bad writing but i appreciate this video for explaining things
This video made me watch Wilfred and I just finished it and im not disappointed
Dude as someone who does with mental illness and depression this really brought a year to my eye. Your breakdown of not only this show but the other aspects really hit home for me. It's true..... True happiness, whatever that may be to whoever, is only found within yourself.
I'll be honest I watched the show entirely for the scenes of dog humor. Just watching a grown man act out the quirks of dog behavior is unreasonably funny to me.
Like when Wilfred "poisoned" Ryan with chocolate
Absolutely brilliant. As soon as I saw the 3D render of the basement, I'd thought: Whatever they're paying you is not enough.
Man this show is great. Not only did I love this show because of the show itself, but back in the day my first love(now ex, no hard feelings) and I watched the entire series, 1 episode a day, all through the end and I loved every second, not just for the show but obviously for her company as well. Man how times change.
Never seen a deep dive into Wilfred like this, amazing work
What's really cool is that CongratsBro seems to actually read the comment section section reply or like the comment's. Very cool
Always lol. Its half the fun of being a youtuber.
"It's at this moment that Ryan realizes that he isn't in the proper mental state to allow Amanda into his life" Plot twist: Amanda was running a sex slave cult on the DL the whole time
"Everyone in the office knows I'm a total sex addict" - Amanda. LMAO
@@congratsbro. Later in the video, when you edit in her doing the "crazy eyes". 16:30. Just chef's kiss
@@rpg500e Hahaha
Nothing more hilarious than sexually torturing and manipulating innocent women for years. Hilarious. Wow.
@@JoshuaJacobs83 Very much not the point. Clearly, the real life event is horrifying. I was disturbed, angered, and saddened following the story. That said, the irony of her role and performance in this show is too obvious to not acknowledge. And sometimes when the world is dark and we can't change or control it, a little humor helps us cope and beat back that darkness a little. But if YOU'RE not in a place in YOUR individual life to feel it, fair, I wish you better days
So glad KZhead recommended this. I've had these same thoughts and interpretations of Wilfred for years and still think about it to this day. Such a good show
I appreciate you making this video. Just finished the show for the first time. I always felt like Ryan was crazy. It gets even more insane when Ryan's talking to himself (wilfred) talking to himself (bear). Just shows how insane he really is. Great analysis on the basement. Never noticed you can literally see them walking in and out of the closet in a few scenes lol. Good show. Probably rewatch it now.
I was going through it when I first watched Wilfred. I found a lot of my answers in laughter and tears from this show. The theme song was my phone ringtone and I remember having so many questions but was happy to be along for the ride. Thank you for the excellent breakdown!
I watched this series from the beginning to my mid-teens and looking at this retrospective brought me back to that time. I guess I didn't realize how much this show had an effect on me. This video was so well done! Excellent work!
Thank you so much bro! It had a huge effect on myself as well. I thought about this show for years and years before making this video. I'm really glad it did something for you. Ill keep making content just like this man!
@@congratsbro. Yes dude! I watched your analysis of the character Pam as well. The amount of time and care you put into these is evident and very much appreciated. There are people out here that enjoy watching your content as much as you enjoy making it! Very much looking forward to your future uploads and Wishing you much success on this KZhead journey of yours!
@@thevidkid10 Hey man, I really appreciate that. Its comments like this that drive me to keep going. I'm so happy you like the videos and I promise ill keep working hard. Iv got big plans for this channel. I have many many videos planned. I hope you enjoy them all!
Me too.
I've never even seen this show and I still watched this entire video. Great essay and analysis, as soon as I can find a means of watching this show I will thanks to you! :)
This was absolutely my favorite show. So glad this video got recommended to me!
I literally began rewatching this for the umpteenth time last week. I usually go back to it in times of struggle or dismay, as a way to hopefully help myself. This felt like an existential comedy that was ahead of the curve. This show deserves WAY more love & glad you gave it some.
Dude! When I saw the model of the house I went straight to the like button... and i expected to see thousands of subscribers... great job on the video!
Hey thanks a lot man! Im really glad you liked the video. And thanks for the sub man!
this was truly amazing. thank you so much for this. now i want to rewatch the whole series.
Honestly, this show helped me through rough times, it helped me laugh. I met Elijah Wood in 2021 and told him my story about how this show saved me through a very depressing time, he immediately gave me a hug and told me he was very glad to hear that.
this deserves to have millions of views bro thank you for making this.
Thank you so much man! And of course! I'm just getting started so stick around!
I appreciate the extra depth you went into to show that the basement isnt real, but you really only needed to show the shot of them coming out of the closet into the stuffed animal therapy session. Thats pretty undeniable lol
Thank you for making this. Wilfred will always be one of my favorite series.
I desperately needed this video. Thanks!
i’ve never clicked on a video so fast… this show seemed like a fever dream i thought i made it up in my head
Tell me why my punk ass teared up with the last two episodes I was unhappy with the final but great show from start to end
Lmao same bro, same haha. Not ashamed to admit it.
nothing un-punk about crying. being in touch with your emotions is important. punks cry
I loved this show and I love this video. Thank you for all the work you put into this.
It’s crazy how good this show is but most people don’t even know it exists, they are missing out on a amazing show
People like you deserve shows like this with a deep message and makes people think. Thank you for your analysis, it was very detailed.
I appreciate the comment! I have a lot of things I plan on talking about in great detail, but its certainly hard to find a show like Wilfred. Especially one that hasn't been talked about a billion times already lol.
Years after watching the show I’m grateful I found your video.
I haven't thought about Wilfred in a couple years and man this was a trip. Great job putting this together.
This show was so well written its insane
