From the strange mind of Rebel Wilson (Toula from Fat Pizza, The Wedge and Ghost Rider) comes Bogan Pride, a musical comedy that involves almost every Australian stereotype and cliché.

The star of the series is Rebel Wilson who plays Jenny Cragg, a teenager who lives in the "Bogan" suburb of Boonelg and is on a quest to save her obese mother. Fortunately for Jenny, she has two close friends to assist who not only help her out but also attempt to prevent Jenny from falling for a boy. Because this is not the Christian thing to do and as her friends would say, this would derail the Jesus Train.

The characters are quite quirky and hilarious at times, however as mentioned Wilson is the star of the series and really lends herself to this character in this delightful comedy about the world of Bogans. Without being gruff, she really takes the piss out of herself, whether it's her "fake" pubic hair or the costumes she wears in the final episode, it's classic Australian comedy.

It should also be noted that this series is quite politically incorrect that is a breath of fresh air in this politically correct world. Featuring a making of documentary, this nicely rounds out this collection of politically incorrect humour. Bogan Pride is here to say and is definitely for those who enjoyed Fat Pizza!
