Comedy gold! Superwog’s Mum will always be my favourite to watch.
I’d love to see the Aussie Family (from the YouTube series not this Ep1) pop up briefly. Superwog’s Family brawls in public, Betty and Brian watch from the other end of the street.

There were some good laughs in it for me even though it was really loud and over the top. I don’t see why they needed to drop so many c-bombs and f-bombs though. It doesn’t add to the humour in my opinion and find them unnecessary in a comedy show.
These guys are very talented and have huge amounts of charisma. Good luck to them.

lmao dude it’s because thats how the majority of us younguns talk. It’s OTT but that’s the hilarity aspect of it all. it’s the language of their target audience as well as it of the young wogs they parody.

I just find it unnecessary. Those words can make a big impact or be really funny in the right spot. But if you overuse them, they don’t make any impact.
What I found OTT was the father’s constant over reaction to everything. Again, a bit of restraint would have been better, to then emphasise the moments when he was flipping out.
yeah that’s what they’re going for. it’s not meant to be the punchline to a joke or anything impactful. it’s already overused with younger people in generic conversations. it’s just a reflection of the whole demographic but OTT.
if you think that’s OTT, watch me go to my Nonna’s house and her reaction to when I say I’m not hungry, she has to pray to give her strength to not belt me for such blasphemy. Every one of us is OTT, it’s in our nature, again a reflection of their target demographic.

SUPERWOG SERIES 2 STARTS PRODUCTION
Off the back of their smash hit #1 trending first season, ABC and Screen Australia are delighted to announce that a second series of the irreverent comedy series Superwog is going into production this week in Melbourne.
Created by and starring brothers Theodore and Nathan Saidden, the new episodes will dive further into Superwog’s volatile family as he and his Dad chase their passions, test their friendships, fight with relatives and butt heads with authorities.
Produced by Superwog and Princess Pictures, the six-part series follows a highly dysfunctional family as they struggle to navigate life in Australian suburbia. Superwog (Theodore Saidden) and Johnny (Nathan Saidden) are not your average teenagers. They are best friends and newly minted adults who still fight with their parents and watch too much TV. As they try to make a go of it in their inimitable way, highly influenced by their families and constantly clashing with the rules and expectations of ‘Aussie’ society around them, mayhem follows.
“We couldn’t be prouder of Theo and Nathan,” said Mike Cowap , Senior Producer, Princess Pictures. “Season One saw the talented brothers make the successful leap from short-form episodes to half hours, and huge audiences flocked to their energetic, fast-paced, culturally rich comedy. The fans have been demanding another season and we’re thrilled and honoured to reveal it’s happening!”
ABC Head of Comedy Todd Abbott says “ Superwog is a phenomenon. It has struck a chord with an enormous audience by showing a version of the Australian experience that is rarely seen on screens.”
Screen Australia’s Senior Online Investment Manager Lee Naimo says, “We were impressed by Theo and Nathan Saidden’s well-crafted scripts which, centering on the relationship between Superwog and Johnny, go right to the heart of what’s great about Superwog . I’m confident Season Two will engage fans and newcomers alike, and we’re excited to see it head into production in Melbourne.”
Production Credits: Superwog Series 2 is a Superwog and Princess Pictures production for the ABC with major production funding from the ABC in association with Screen Australia, and financed with support from Film Victoria and Screen NSW. Created, written, co-produced by and starring Theodore Saidden and Nathan Saidden. Produced by Mike Cowap and Antje Kulpe. Directed by Theodore Saidden.

SEASON 2
Superwog and Johnny are not your average teenagers. They are co-dependent best friends, struggling to make the leap from adolescence to young adulthood. Their distorted views of the world, risky judgements and dubious decision- making skills often lead them to trouble, with mayhem inevitably following as the pair strive to fit in and gain social status in a predominately ‘Aussie’ society.
Off the back of their smash hit #1 trending first season, they will dive further into Superwog’s volatile family unit, exploring themes like father and son rivalry, the pursuit of love, friendship and loyalty, family relationships, and cultural comparisons.
