  • It's quite weird seeing Jason Gann out of Wilfred costume.

  • BAD clipping; voice-over elijah response, ugh!

  • Big call on the American Version being better than the original. I remember seeing the original film 10 years ago and still makes me laugh to this day.

  • this show is so funny, I love Elijah in this. Cannot wait for the next season.

  • @B0oR4dl3y when is the next season with elijah on?

  • Hulu has all the American version episodes. A second season begins in the summer of 2012.

  • I hope the Australian version is available, here, in America, too. The American one with Wood and Gann is great.

  • The Aussie version is heaps better than the American one! It's so dog and it's so Australian haha no other way to describe it..

  • Excellent Show, Fun to watch.

  • I don't like this show.....I LOVE IT!!! hah got you going nyuck nyuck nyuck.

  • I can't see Gann to the face without picture him with the dog outfit XD

  • the us version is good because it still has the australian wilfred dog and cuz elijahs a good actor :)

  • will their be more series?

  • I love it. the dog is sexy weird but sexy

  • Oh hell no did he cut of elija!!

  • the comedy writing on the original was way better. a lot more money here in hollywood, though.

  • The US version is pretty cringe worthy. Love the original!

  • aHhhhh hh wilfred ....

  • love the end scene haha

  • frodo with short hair

  • I like both, seen the original on sbs, the american one has a much bigger budget.

  • Why the F**K ! Did you start talking when Frodo/Elijah Wood was saying something . Asshole

  • LOL Jason was just about to piss himself when Frodo was analysing "The Dynamic". Maaaate a stoner just sold a show to America about a stoner asshole dog...... thanks for the money lmao to the bank.... I'm acting like a funny asshole in a dog suit... HAAA RDY FUCKING HAAAAAAR...... Yanks just gotta analyse the corn in the shit..... OOPS better not laugh that'd be biting the hand that feeds me!!!!

  • @lazydave2 This comment confuses me. You're analysing an American (in quite a judgemental manner) for being an American analysing a show...or something. And don't people usually just call Americans 'stupid'? Now we judge smart Americans for being smart. or insightful...I'm sorry. I'm just very confused.

  • @willkillyoulast .... the irony is that the show is second hand to Australians, Elijah Wood is the second guy to play this role, culturaly we don't seem to care about the deeper meaning and the motivational growth of the character that an actor is portraying we just expect them to be funny and we walk away if he's not. Take a look at this interview 7pm project Jason Gann and search up some of the Aussie Clip of Wilfred you might get a taste for what I mean. He's a cultural image

  • @lazydave2 Oh, okay I see what you mean haha. I completely misunderstood your comment, sorry. And I can see what you mean - Irish audiences tend to not care, at all. We have silly humor and rude humor that only extends to swear words and people shouting, so I consider 'Wilfred', both versions, a huge step up in terms of comedy.

  • @willkillyoulast OK your Irish. Irish humor is BIG over hear all you need is a name like Declan or Finnbar or Seamus a dozen or so Irish observational jokes, then book yourself into a room for the Melbourne Comedy Festival and you'll end up with at least the cost of a free holiday or your own Tonight Show check out jimeoin.com turned up here as a backpacker

  • @lazydave2 Haha, I think I've heard Des Bishop is pretty well liked. He presents himself as an Irish man with an American accemt. There's a few Irish comedians that can take things too far sometimes, but for the most part their fun. They just tend to be very sweary, unnecessarily sometiimes if you know what I mean.

  • OMG I love Elijah and I love Wilfred !

  • 1:39 OH NO HE DIDN'T!!! too much, you my sir deserve a punch for using a voice over just when he's about to finish his sentence..honestly..bad editing :P

  • i guess the Narrator thought Elijah Wood was boring so he thought to him self " Ok, moving on.

    i don't think hes boring, just saying that's probably what he's thinking.

  • LET ELIJAH TALK!!!

  • okay i love this show and its hilarious but wilfred is the only funny part.... jason gann. is. funny. elijah wood didn't do anything funny...

  • @ToppaliniTube is like a gin gan, if you don't have a quiet character, how is supossed to work the crazy one? it wouldn't be funny without each other, but i guess not everybody understand what characters' chemistry is about

  • @ToppaliniTube that makes wood the perfect straight man c'mon America the home of the comedy duo ..... straight man and funny guy .... Skipper & Gilligan, Crosby & Hope, Martin & Lewis, 99 & 86...... C'mon man you gotta feel the Wood...

  • @lazydave2 "you gotta feel the Wood"?... That actually sounds pretty gay to me :)

  • @alperloos this from someone who uploaded "Mr Toots". LMAO

  • @SolarOfCore errrr

  • @drewjhyork it just makes it seem like you only like wilfred because your dog's dead, which is a little strange.

  • Jasson Gann should be illegal...

  • BROMANCE. they're adorable.

    

  • Love these guys! Nice video.

  • Otra serie que explotará la sexualidad a lo tarugo, añadiendo un toque de ternura cuando el dizque perro actúe como perro.

    Elijah Wood NO debería DESPERDICIAR su talento en series como ésta SÓLO para alejarse de Frodo. Mejor debería CAMBIAR su propia apariencia para que consiguiera MEJORES PAPELES.

    Imagino que ser hombre, bajito, menudo, bonito, debe ser increíblemente difícil, PERO NINGÚn otro de los hobbits está teniendo ése problema de identidad.

  • Are people just braindead to think actors can only be typecast? So what if he was frodo, he was also in Green Street Hooligans, and Sin City, so yeah... idiotic narrator.

  • Possibly the ONLY American remake of a foreign TV show that's actually better than the original.

  • @FSMNoodlyAppendage the office?

  • @FSMNoodlyAppendage 100% agree!

  • @FSMNoodlyAppendage Im sorry but you must be joking! The American version of the office was light years better than the original. The original was flaky at best...

  • @smbanks08

    :-/

  • @FSMNoodlyAppendage The australian one is way more smart, american one gives too much away constantly

  • @FSMNoodlyAppendage Don't forget The Office.

  • @FSMNoodlyAppendage Sorry the american remake compared to the original was such a disappointment.. Doesn't do it justice at all. At least they had a go

  • @mellowguyau, agreed. But I think only Australians can find the original funny. Or at least get a significant following.

  • I'm American, but I love foreign TV. I watch a shitload. When Americans remake a foreign show, I almost always hate the remake. But Wilfred US is far, far better than Wilfred AU.

  • oh bear :(

  • Bear

  • yanks wrekd what was an awsum show

  • bubbles!

  • grass

  • Hahahaa, they are so cute together =D. btw, I grew up watching Elijah as a kid, so yeah, he was Elijah Wood before he was Frodo Baggins to me, muthaefferz!

  • We have this show here in the UK and it's quite unusual, but really funny to!

    Its on now. The one were Elijah crashes into that old bird, and she wants him to sleep with her to clear the debt! :p

    Had know idea it was originally an Australian format, adapted for the US, which is now being shown in the UK.

    Quite amusing i must say!

  • @hotlips4000isback2 I do agree with you my good sir

  • @furiousaaron

    I'm Female,... :-)

    Good show though, i like it!.

  • for all those who only know the american version, you should watch the original Australian version. It isn't so over acted and is a lot more funny. People need to appreciate the comedy of subtlety with which this series was originally intended. No diss to Elijah or Wilfred though, just everyone else who ruins this show by over acting

  • @jhkhlurt i dont think anyone over acts, i think you just knew of the original version first and that's what you're biased to, i respect your opinion but i prefer the new version and i think Elijah is a better match for the role, and not to make us sound stupid but americans dont really understand aulstralian humor and slang

  • @mmmmmYELLO there is a good chance that is why i am biased, but it does seem a lot of Americans don't understand any humour other than American humour. Which is fine i like it to. Ah well each to their own.

    To be exact though i was reffering to Elijah's sister in the show. Just terrible IMO

    but it's the basicness and fact that the Australian Adam is just so normal, that's a lot of the humour, i guess i'd say Aussie comedy is more like britich comedy. USA are in a league of their own

  • @jhkhlurt Being an citizen of the USA I feel I can say that most others are not smart enough or open minded enough to understand the humor in either version. Can you really expect a culture to understand and except another culture, especially with limit sight into one's preception. Both shows are awesome and i believe you forgot what really makes the show. Jason Gann.

  • @chattanoogajam2 We have more US television here than native. Your rebuttal?

  • Elijah wood is soooooo cute<3

  • wow.. Elijah's got an intense stare...

  • Lol Elijah Wood is like the Daniel Radcliffe of America

  • @arancienne one of the best things i've ever read.

  • Comment removed

  • The show is great but the narration of this piece is off-putting and the editing is rough.

  • its a great show competes with family guy

  • They're totally butt buddies. Love me some Wilfred!

  • i never really liked frodo but this changed my mind! i first watched it thinking i was going to hate it and now i've finished the season! this is the best series i've watched for a long time and the only one i've watched every episode of! WELL DONE FRODO! 2'nd series please!

  • i just finished the first season finale and damnnnn son. i hope this show can go strong for 5 to 6 seasons.

  • why did you cut off elija wood? tell me

  • @dayne1909 elijah

  • @dayne1909 they didnt...

  • I've very easily accepted Elijah as Ryan. He's great. The whole show is.

  • "Who knew?" Anybody who saw The Faculty!

  • "Who knew?" Anybody who saw The Faculty!

  • wilfred is the best show ever!

  • The illusion is broken

  • Did they just narrate over Elijah Wood?

    OH NO HE DIDNT, MAN, YOU CAN GO FUCK YOURSELF - THAT IS FUCKING FRODO!

  • @manaburn

    really?? for him to play frodo and you deify him, GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK...

    he is a mere mortal as everyone on this planet, YOU CAN GO AND FUCK YOURSELF (using your words).

    Plus to give you an bonus > LOTR is fucking retarded, they could've taken the fucking ring on a stupid gandalf eagle and droped it on mount doom.

  • @VegaEvilsquare Stfu LOTR is not "fucking retarded" it's one of the best movies ever. GTFO

  • @VegaEvilsquare

    Man if you had read the book you would knew that would be impossible to ride an eagle and throw the ring in the mount doom !

  • waiting for 2nd season <3

  • realising that guy was from lotr just BLEW my mind

  • Best show on TV. My redbone coonhound Roani loves it too.

  • its weird seeing jason gann without the dog costume

  • its nawt erooootica mate

  • Let Elijah Wood finish talking asshole!

  • If I think Gann is attractive...does that make me a furry?! WHAT IS MY LIFE?

  • @lexierokey I think he is mind-blowing hot, I'm almost 20, and I would pay to sex him!!!

  • no matter how yo u look at like. this is pretty much like a adult version of the classic comic : calvin & hobbes

  • i love Being Baked.

  • Like if you Think Elijah Wood should play Spiderman

  • @lilzgottabeme nah he's too awesome for that

  • worse voiceover timing ever. lol.

  • Oh Gannith!

  • 3:19 funny.

  • Comment removed

  • The whole time I thought Jason was gonna call Elijah a pussy or something haha

  • victor klaus, you´re the worst editor in the known universe

  • It's weird not seeing him as a dog...

    

  • Oh god!! He looks so different!! I can only see him in the dog suit!! It's funny seeing him in real clothes! :D

  • lol this looks great

  • elijah wood is very wet looking person

  • @Zephyesa lmao!

  • @xanfus he is so moistureous, he kind of looks like a sponge full of water

  • @frithwks asain vet enters the room whilst Wilfred is going under anaesthesia : " I need a vet, not tech support."

  • @irishmoore18 they're black chuck taylors!

  • XD elijah has a pretty smile like a girl...i don't know if hes gay or not but he's got some really sweet features

  • What shoes does Elijah wear in the show?

    They look like Chuck Taylors, idk. Anybody have an idea?

  • I dont know how people can't say he's become a typecast. Its like the movie babe. Now that pig can't be in any movie. Cos all his fans would be like, wait! thats babe! He needs to make a darker movie now. Like Babe the half blood pig or something...

  • @shagz23 lol

  • wow he looks like a stranger if her isnt in a dog suit i ammanged him to hav a shaved head

  • I hate how everyone (i.e. the intervew or whoever) seems to think the only real thing Elijah's done is Lord of the Rings. He's done comedy before people. He's done almost everything, and amazingly at that.

  • @BlakeAndGaile who is this "everyone" you are talking about? think you are just making stuff up

  • @ashleyboyo69 Ehem... Um, i said in my comment i.e. the interviewer or the whoever scripted the voice over saying "Polar opposite" and "success may depend on rather or not Wood's fan can accept him as anything other than Frodo."

  • This show is very funny. I love it.

  • I hate tv, but this show, IS MY FAVORITE

  • I <3 U Elijah!!!!

  • Elijah wood + a really wired comedy = much lolz :D <3

  • Elijah Wood, is such a great actor!

    

  • amazing show amazing actors and darkly hilarious screenplay

  • It's a fucking fantastic show

  • Who else was expecting Jason to interupt Elijah and say something vulgar when he was talking? Lolll<3

  • I'm so glad Elijah Wood is doing this show, he's amazing and the show is great!

    It bugs me that people are ignorant enough to believe that he can only be and forever will be Frodo. FALSE, he's an actor and a great one at that. This just means he is what he's supposed to be as an actor...versatile!!

    You go Elijah! :D

  • fave show suicide if canceld, lol jk but it would suck

  • i havent seen the show yet but it starts in my area next week, should i watch it? its seems pretty cool from what ive seen

  • llove Wilfred.

    They have great big papaya up their back-side?

  • i fucking love jason gann

  • JUST RENEWED FOR SECOND SEASON!

  • @kenziecaffrey AWESOME

  • @kenziecaffrey When is the Season 2 Start?

  • @MyMuSiCiNdUsTrIeS1 Summer of 2012.

  • @kenziecaffrey Hell yea!

  • @kenziecaffrey HOLY FUCKING SHIT I CANT WAIT

  • Elijah Wood is such a stoner too. He's chilled backstage with Slayer smokin weed and shit, plus he's a huge Black sabbath fan which is think is awesome!

  • Jason Gann is such a badass

  • Great fucking show! Please don't cancel it.

  • elijah wood is too much of a pussy in american wilfred

  • This show is freaking hilarious. The scene when Ryan comes down stairs to see Wilfred watching Giraffes mating on youtube was hysterical.

  • OMG I love this show...Hilarious!!! Jason Gann and Elijah Wood are wonderful!

  • Just saw Wilfred. LMFAO!!!!

  • Elijah Wood is smexy.

  • Elijah only seen as frodo? Never once have i seen that garbage, but in Wilfred? Elijah is genius. So naa nerds.. He aint solely "typecasted" on one role, you guys needa stop cupping his nuts

  • @The7sickO Garbage? lol. LotR pretty much won every single awards the Oscars offered.

  • While the FX American version is great, the original Australian version is even better.

    Adam ,as the poor schlub who always get shit on by Wilfred, is great at hiding his disdain for Wilfred. Ryan seems to just take everything with a grain of salt.

  • omg the ending made me laugh so hard theyr so cute :D

  • i fell in love with this show in the first 2 mins of it :)

  • Funny. Show

  • This show is so funny!  What Wilfred said about The Wire and American nurses last week. Hilarious.

  • i love jason's shirt

  • @m4ster017 fuck yeah, thanks for bringing that to my attention. i want one.

  • Gann looks so weird without a dog suit on. 

  • Frodo is hot with his deep blue eye's, I am definitely loving him in this. Wilfred on that stripper pole, OMGAWD, I almost peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed I was laughing so hard. This is something that's best watched in a marathon sort of way, so you can trip for hours at a time with snacks, friends, and drinks.

  • i loved how in the first episode wilfred full has sex with the teddy bear

  • I think people need to stop acting as though Elijah Wood's career is solely based on the success of the LOTR trilogies. Obviously, playing Frodo is his biggest commercial success thus far, but he's been in so many other great movies, and he really is a talented actor. It's kind of insulting when people are like "Can Elijah's fans accept him as anything other than Frodo?" umm yeah, if they're really fans, they'll like his acting, not that one character he played 10 years ago...

  • @StardustBeatle1039 unfortunately he will never be able to get away from the "typecast" he created for himself......look at mark hamil (luke skywalker) he really never got away from that role until his voice acting

  • @thatguy126 I don't think it's fair to say that he "created" the typecast by taking that role. I think people will always remember him for that role because he played it so well. But to me, he has already proved that he is a versatile actor, and I guess I just think he's a little underrated.

  • Jason, you just made my top five list ;P

  • omg there so damn hot aaaaaaaaa i would kiss em both hahahah

  • the Australian version was SO good
