| Wilfred | comment |
Wilfred is an American fantasy comedy series starring Elijah Wood as Ryan, a troubled young man, and Jason Gann as Wilfred, a dog who appears to Ryan as a man in a dog costume but as a normal dog to everyone else.Family Guy showrunner David Zuckerman adapted the original Australian show into an American version for FX with a much more mysterious and psychological edge. In this version, the main character is Ryan, a depressed former lawyer who attempts suicide, only to be interrupted by his beautiful new neighbor Jenna and her dog Wilfred. Ryan and Wilfred form a tumultuous friendship as Ryan attempts to work through his problems and find a love life. Wilfred's motives and origin are a recurring mystery, and the show frequently teases various answers as to whether Wilfred is real or Ryan is insane. | |

Artistic License – Biology: Wilfred only sees in black and white, but this is a popularly held myth. In reality, dogs can see blue and yellow. Wilfred is all just Ryan's hallucination, though, so he apparently believes the myth. | |

Manipulative Bastard: Wilfred. You never know whether he's really trying to help Ryan become a better man or if he's working some other angle. Ryan gets wise to it, but he's still drawn into Wilfred's schemes, often because Jerkass Has a Point. As revealed during the Season 1 finale, Ryan was one too. When he returns to his old ways he screws pretty much everyone's life up. Ryan's father, if you believe in Ryan's interpretation of his character. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The real Wilfred dies of lung cancer. Then Jenna gets back together with Drew and dumps Ryan because she's afraid of change. If that wasn't bad enough, Ryan finds out that he really was crazy and his misadventures with Wilfred were all in his head. However, he does discover the truth behind the cult (and his origins), finds out that all three of his parents truly cared for him, gains the respect of his sister, and conjures up a phantom of Wilfred who promises to downplay his gross malevolence and help him out whenever he needs it. At the end of it all, Ryan learns that he is worthy of love and that it's okay to love himself, even if part of him is a rude, boorish, if well-meaning man in a dog suit. | |

| Wilfred / int_48081842 | comment |
Ryan has pretty big concerns about ending up crazy like his mother, who had a mental breakdown around his age. The Stinger of her debut episode reveals that she sees her cat Mittens as a woman in a cat suit. The series finale lends more weight to this, as Ryan discovers that his birth father Charles also suffered from hallucinations and is now medicated. When Ryan asks if his dog talks to him, Charles says, "Not for a long time." | |

Black Comedy Rape | |
| Wilfred / int_4c851777 | comment |
Black Comedy Rape: Wilfred claims that Darryl puts peanut butter on his testicles to rape him; granted, it's generally taken very seriously, but Wilfred tells Ryan by seductively licking two ice-cream balls whilst crying. Wilfred also mentions that dogs settle their differences sometimes by rape-fighting. In the season three opener He settles things with his clone this way. He doesn't like talking about its outcome. During an after credits sequence, Wilfred asks Ryan if he would rape somebody if he could get away with it. Repeatedly. Wilfred tells Ryan that his first sexual experience was raping a dog who had just been hit by a car so she was injured and unable to fight him off. He recalls the memory fondly and is oblivious to Ryan's horrified expression. An elderly male doctor at the sanitarium where Ryan's mother is treated was once gangraped in a big, black van. | |

The Un-Reveal | |
| Wilfred / int_5a3b8032 | comment |
The Unreveal: Many episodes leave the plot ambiguous at the end: We never find out if the dog daycare owner in "Acceptance" actually molested Wilfred or not, or whether Wilfred actually killed anyone at the hospital or not in "Respect". We also never find out if Wilfred was genuinely possessed by Ryan's old dog Sneakers, or how Bruce and Wilfred met, and how he sees him like Ryan does. However, all of these are explained in the final season when we get confirmation that Wilfred's humanlike interactions are all just hallucinations. Whether or not Ryan's basement exists. In the final episode, Ryan opens the door and looks inside, reacts, and shuts the door before we see inside. | |

Parental Incest: Spencer has a transsexual for a father, finds his father's porn hot, and considers her to have perfect breasts. Turns out Wilfred managed to trick his friend Bruce into making out with his own father. Assuming it wasn't just one of the many lies they told as part of the plan. Jellybeans, one of the neighborhood dogs, was a product of this. | |

The Reveal | |
| Wilfred / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: In the series finale, Ryan finally learns the truth about himself and Wilfred: Ryan is not actually the son of Henry Newman; his biological father was Charles Smith, who founded a cult called the Flock of the Grey Shepherd. Catherine Newman ran away to join the cult, where she and Charles conceived Ryan. Before Charles was tried and convicted of tax fraud, Henry agreed to defend him on the condition that Charles gives up custody of Ryan to Henry. Ryan was raised to be totally oblivious of his true parentage. Wilfred is a normal dog. The man wearing a dog suit is merely an imaginary friend/split personality who has been hallucinated by Ryan for the entire series. His appearance is based on Ryan's memories of a man named Richard (a cult member who dressed up in a dog suit as the cult's dog god Mataman), while his personality is actually based on Ryan's id. | |

Nothing Is the Same Anymore: Usually averted at the end of each episode.

Foreshadowing: In "Anger", Kristen is surprised to hear from Ryan that their family home has a basement. Kevin, one of Ryan's coworkers, says that jalapeños are going to be the death of him. Cut to the season finale, where we discover that Amanda framed Kevin, picking him as the fall guy for the sale of company secrets because he stole the jalapeños off of her bagel five times. At the start of "Resistance", Ryan muses that happiness is a rather flighty state of being. He loses Jenna at its end after just getting together with her in the previous episode. | |

Unreliable Expositor: Wilfred makes a habit of bending the truth on several occasions, but it's usually to make a point or get his way (such as telling Ryan that Jenna has a penis, only to reveal he was actually just fucking with Ryan to get revenge). "Conscience" has Wilfred giving Ryan a lethal dose of Theobromine, only for the pair to discover it's the chemical in chocolate that makes it lethal to dogs, making it one of the few examples of Wilfred getting his facts wrong. See Drew's anecdote in "Kick Them While They Are Down" up there? What actually happened was that Drew bought himself the Sheboygan Lager, spit it in the other guy's face, and yelled at him to "lick my balls". | |

Dreaming of Things to Come | |
| Wilfred / int_af7d483f | comment |
Dreaming of Things to Come: In "Fear", Ryan dreams of the moment his biker neighbor comes over to kick his ass for breaking into his house and stealing his weed, which occurs a bit later in the episode. Muddling the matter, however, is the fact that the dream is also full of the sort of weird things that happen in dreams, like a clock with spinning hands and Ryan having baby feet and pulling a tooth out of his mouth. The tooth bit actually happens when Spencer punches him in the face in the waking world. | |

It Runs in the Family: Ryan has pretty big concerns about ending up crazy like his mother, who had a mental breakdown around his age. The Stinger of her debut episode reveals that she sees her cat Mittens as a woman in a cat suit. The series finale lends more weight to this, as Ryan discovers that his birth father Charles also suffered from hallucinations and is now medicated. When Ryan asks if his dog talks to him, Charles says, "Not for a long time." Kristen is revealed to have inherited her father's fetish for black people. Also, Kristen and her mother both committed adultery and conceived sons out of wedlock. Both Ryan and his father Henry had gotten into romantic relationships with mentally unstable women that ended badly for them. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Wilfred / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In "Fear", when Wilfred is taken away by animal control for attacking a neighbor, he is wearing Hannibal Lecter's mask. "Identity" casts doubt on whether Ryan actually bungled his suicide. Cue Lost references from Wilfred. In "Dignity", Wilfred pulls a stupid stunt, holds his arms wide, and exclaims: "Are you not entertained?!" In "Sincerity", Wilfred shows Ryan a picture of himself on a mountaintop with his "arms raised in a V" in front of a "lemon-yellow sun." These are from the lyrics to Pearl Jam's song "Jeremy." In one episode, Wilfred says, "I don't have a God complex. I am God!" This is a paraphrased quote from Alec Baldwin's character in Malice. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Wilfred / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Sneakers's death badly traumatized Ryan. Ryan and Kristen's manipulative tendencies, displays of passive-aggressive behavior, and tremendous difficulties with emotional control are a result of being chiefly raised by their father, who had similar psychological hang-ups. Their mother's numerous issues didn't help matters either. Throughout "Questions" Ryan can't figure out why Kirsten's baby crying makes him panic. Turns out it was Kirsten telling the baby to stop crying that sent him into a panic, as she did the same thing to Ryan when his parents were fighting. | |

He's never seen doing anything overly dickish and is mostly just an obnoxious overgrown child who takes competition way too seriously, but he's bragged about doing things that would absolutely qualify him for this. Of course, it's never confirmed if he actually did them or if he's just a blowhard. | |
