We can't work out whether to be excited or mortified by this latest piece of news from the US.
Elijah Wood has signed on to star in the US remake of SBS comedy Wilfred.
This from Michael Ausiello's Entertainment Weekly blog.
"Drama-heavy FX is getting serious about comedy. To wit: The cabler has successfully wooed ex-hobbit Elijah Wood to headline its in-the-works U.S. remake of the hit Australian sitcom Wilfred.
The project, which is being adapted by Family Guy vet David Zuckerman, revolves around a guy (Wood), a girl, and a mixed-breed dog named Wilfred, whom Zuckerman describes as “part Labrador retriever and part Russell Crowe on a bender.”
Jason Gann, who co-created and starred in the Aussie version, will once again play the title role (that is, when said title role appears in human form).
This marks Wood’s first major foray into television. The Lord of the Rings vet will next be seen in the fall film The Romantics opposite Katie Holmes, Josh Duhamel, and Anna Paquin.
Production on the Wilfred pilot will begin later this summer."

So what is this "profound insight into Australian culture"?
You have presented material without drawing a conclusion leaving the reader to draw their own.
Could this "insight" be that Australians are so stupid they cannot explain the point they are trying to make? - and Macedonians like to call Australians stupid - how wrong of them?
You first raised this in May of last and entered more material today, nearly a year later, and you still haven't come up with a conclusion.
Still thinking?
Are you trying to reinforce their opinion?
As an Australian I feel I need to jump in and defend Australians - don't generalise, Not all Australians are stupid, likewise I'm sure you have stupid Macedonians - but the diaspora still trump you!!! Imagine a stupid Australian and a stupid Macedonian, no imagine a stupid Australian Macedonian!!! - now there's a lethal combination.
fyrOM, you are demanding a conclusion from me about a comedy relating to a bloke in dog suit. You are a dim-witted fool.
I was actually thinking of a comedy about a wanker in a Macedonian suit. What are you doing this weekend?
lol...toby fyrOM doesn't need the dog suit, he's already wearing the dog collar and the lead is held tight, he's a flea ridden mongrel, happily licking his balls with that stupid look of contentment...woof.

Hey, idiot your the one who posted this in the first place and you call it insight? - doesn't look very enlightening - hey guys look at some Australian humor. And someone not familiar with it will look at it and say,"And so, what am I supposed to be looking at?"
You started the post so you must have had something you wanted to say about Australian humor to present the material (which you never said what it was)
OR
you had nothing in mind like a drop-kick and just drop it in the thread turning it into a lame thread - which if you have a look NO ONE posted to hence lame thread! (makedonce doesn't count)
So which is it - you're
Not a drop-kick and actually had something in mind but to stupid to express it
OR
ARE a drop-kick who just says or does stuff without giving it context
AND after about a year you just drop in another video again with NO COMMENT - WHY???
Another drop-kick moment or just a wild outburst?

Hey you and the demi-gods are supposed to be number 1 Macedonians while I'm sporting a little yellow number with a kangaroo so I think you guys fit the Macedonian suit - and going by the logic display in past post - fit the other description too.
Saturday - I'm busy, besides I wouldn't want to disturb your "soggy-biscuit" session guys!

Your so dumb-F-k you don't even know what you are but the lackie at the bottom of the pile who they keep around partly for fun and partly because they feel sorry for you!
With the crazed religious zealot thing you got happening one wonders do you follow that Other bible by Aleister Crowley - you would be in good company, Bush's wife is supposed to be related to him - in fact you already have something in common - Bushisms!! - you both make about as much sense.
Are you going to do a Phoenix - zoom! everything just flew over your head!

To be honest, it was one of my prophetic posts.
I knew that one day in the future a wanker of limited substance would question the message of the post.
Step aside Baba Vanga.
Nevertheless, as Wilfred would say ..... Your relationshit with this forum is pretty much over.

Bushism? This coming from Mr irrelevant incoherent analogy who does not believe in objective moral values but thinks that everyone should adhere to his personal subjective moral value system as objective...hmmm...another fyrOM contradiction...
