Wilfred (2007–2010) User Reviews

This is a bit of a one-off

[tim-sharp · 9/10 · 8 April 2010]

Wilfred is a bit of a one-off as far as comedy goes. The basic scenario of a dope smoking sexually disinhibited dog as a character in a romantic sit-com could go badly wrong.

When I first started watching it I thought it was a crap idea - then it creeps up on you how brilliantly put together the show is - first class scripts and wonderful comic timing.

If you find the idea of a bloke acting the part of a psychopathic pet attractive this is one not to be missed. The humour is Australian which would translate easily for a UK or NZ audience.

Wilfred: "For me this last six years has been one loveless root after the next..great danes...not so great danes...even a few deadies truth be known"

Really different

Wilfred isn't your usual comedy, The hero Wilfred is a guy in a dog suit. Wilfred behaves rather badly and is really a bit of a dog. He can talk to Adam who is his owners boyfriend and other dogs but no other humans. A bit like Mr Ed I guess but this one is R rated. Wilfred smokes parties and is in general a bit of an animal. The interactions between other dogs who are also people in dog suits and Wilfred is really quite amazing. From bragging about the privileges his humans give him to sniffing what the other dog had for dinner last night the script is quite amazing. This is not your usual American sitcom and is way out on the fringe of comedy, but if you are not easily offended and want to see something truly different watch Wilfred.

one of the best shows in TV today.

this show is freaking brilliant. based on how Sara's boyfriend Adam see's her dog Wilfred, as a person in a dog suit. the writers Jason Gann and Adam Zwar obviously know dogs really well, because they have conveyed a dog's behavior perfectly into a human actor, and it is brilliant.

ever walked up to a dog tied up outside a shop and gone to say hello or pat it, and it shows it teeth and gives you the look that says 'stay away'? in one episode, wilfred is tied up outside a milk bar while adam and sara are inside. he's playing with something, head down. a man walks up towards the shop and heads to wilfred with his hand out.

wilfred looks up, tilts back and says 'f*ck off'. spot on.

Perfect Show if u are EMO / enjoy dark humor like me lol

Wilfred immediately caught my attention by the end of episode one, you have to be into a certain type of humor to fully appreciate Wilfred OR maybe be a stoner lol either way if you're a fan of alt comedies such as - adult swim, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Worlds Greatest Dad etc you will probably find this show very enjoyable. It is very unique & Elijah Wood shines on screen. The lead actors all have great chemistry and are hilarious.
