Welcome to Woop Woop

Similarly to the extremely over the top way the Coen Brothers' film Fargo, and its spin-off TV series mocks stereotypes about the culture of Minnesota, Welcome to Woop Woop's characters are wildly exaggerated and parodied stereotypes of Anglo-Australian Bogans from Outback desert communities.Teddy (Johnathon Schaech) is a New York City con artist, womaniser, and exotic animal smuggler who travels to Australia after a deal goes awry, his latest shipment of rare tropical birds escapes, and must be replaced.The only entertainment permitted by Daddy-O are old Rodgers & Hammerstein films, whose soundtracks play constantly over a loudspeaker.Comparing Daddy-O in an angry soliloquy to the Fundamentalist Mormon cult leaders with private arsenals of assault weapons that he has heard about in the past, Teddy, who had thought he was having a meaningless hookup "with the best f--- in the Southern Hemisphere", is enraged that she instead, "set me up."Seeking to accept his situation, he befriends an Australian Cattle Dog, which is shot and killed by a child who is celebrating 'Dog Day.'He befriends a couple of locals, including the scruffy, affable Duffy and Krystal, Midget's widow and Angie's sister, who help Teddy arrange an escape plan.More than a decade later, Teddy and Krystal are living in a New York City apartment when, in a post-credits scene, they unexpectedly are visited by a now teenaged Sonny and Cher.
