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.

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.

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.

I remember the actress from smallville. I wasnt sure it was her because of hair color. But this was such a crazy story.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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'm so glad you made this video. It's good to know there are many others who absolutely loved this series. As an Australian, I got such a kick out of being represented in such an interesting, hilarious and thought-provoking show. I saw it years ago at this point, and need to re-watch it, and with your theories, it will be just as fresh as you said. Thanks for this again, great video!!

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! :)

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

Honestly the show has bad writing but i appreciate this video for explaining things

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 💜

So glad KZread 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

12/10 on effort. You earned another sub

This video was so well made it kept me watching the whole time and before you know it was over! I never really thought that deep into this show either great job!

I desperately needed this video. Thanks!

This is the last show I watched on cable every week before streaming got huge!

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!

Man, what a great job with this. Loved Wilfred when it started, but fell behind after the first season and always wanted something like this so I could appreciate such an awesome show. Thank you!

One of the best videos I’ve ever seen on KZread. Thanks for your time and hard work 🙏

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

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.

It warms my heart knowing that people still talk about this show. Albeit it was uploaded 7 months from today, people are still watching this (given the comment section). Thanks!!

Thank you for this. I’ll be rewatching it now. I loved that show when I watched and it has its moments that make you think about your own life. It’s fantastic

I just wanted to say I love this video so much I’ve watched it 3 times and started watching Wilfred🥰 it makes my day so much better

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!

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!

Finally some kind of closure to a show that i dearly loved and thought was ahead of its time. Brilliant analysis bro thank you.

I watched the show on Netflix on my Nintendo 3DS in it’s entirety one summer like 14 years ago and always considered it to be entirely under-appreciated. It’s been some time since I’ve seen or heard anything of it. I actually brought it up to a friend last week by coincidence. Your analysis of it combined with my recollection of it all those years ago quite literally sent me. Thank you for this video🙏

It always really bothered me when the news company does the drug test and a pregnancy test on the urine. They play it off like they casually noticed it but you have to order a pregnancy test to get that knowledge just like a drug panel is just a selection of positive or negative tests for specific chemicals. Running that test without notifying Jenna that they were checking it is a huge liability.

Well I think like any other corporation in trouble facing a lawsuit they would search for anything to scape from the problem.

This was a great video. Love Wilfred and can never get myself to actually watch thru the end not wanting for the show to end. 3 series watches and never end it. This video is one of my favorites. Thanks for the breakdown.

This got me to rewatch Wilfred for the 4th time. One of the most impactful shows I’ve ever seen.

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.

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, God bless people like you who make videos like this, haha. I think I'm gonna go back and watch all of it all over again.

happy to see a video about this show. An overlooked gem.

Thank you for this. I've never met anyone who's watched this show. I used to watch it whilst high a few years ago sometime before I had experienced drug induced phychosis and although I never experienced hallucinations and only delusions and unrealistic beliefs... after watching your video it has helped me to realise that some of these delusional beliefs were a part of me finding a way to cope with the traumas I was experiencing and to get through it and become the best person I could be. Watching this video and the message you give at the end was really touching to me and exactly what I needed at a point where I feel I've for the most part overcome the extremely difficult times that I went through. Those times made me stronger, they helped to make me who I am today and evenetually led me down a better path. I'm grateful for you, brother ✌️

I hadn't even heard of this show prior to your analysis, and still I watched the entire video. Thank you bringing this to my attention, I will definitely watch it.

I watched when I was younger but I think I will appreciate it so much more now. This video is amazing.
