I'm not saying every skit or episode is good but Portlandia does have a certain comfy quality that similar shows lack.
>>222353175Personally I think the woman is very attractive
>>222353175holds up well. i still watch it occasionally.
>>222353175It’s similar to kids in the hall where instead of making skits about celebrities it’s more slice of life comedy and absurdity. That sort of comedy makes rewatching easy, whereas shit like SNL becomes very dated.
Most generate a sensible chuckle. It also has great editing. Their new pod is kind of dry though.
>>222353175BICYCLE RIGHTS!
It is absolutely unbelievable that this show even exists. It feels like a personal project of Lorne Michaels.
Its okay but honestly feels so fucking dated now.
>>222353370>feels so fucking dated now.that's what makes it still good
>>222353175>but Portlandia does have a certain comfy quality that similar shows lack.Couldn't get that in Seattle.
>>222353283M-MOTORIST RIGHTS!
Production value is very high, went into production right before everything went to shit.
>>222353452cars... WHY?
>>222353205Imma need some evidence that the cute jewess is cute>>222353246It’s like Mr show where it allowed the absurdity to reign and doesn’t rely on week to week sketch’s. Check out “when death comes to town” for the kids in the hall equivelent
>>222353283Bike riders are so reckless on the road, I call them bikists. You know. Kind of like rapists. But on a bike.
Wasn't the idea for Portlandia stolen from Kickassia and made better? Kickassia came out in 2010, Portlandia was 2011... which seems pretty suspicious to me...
>>222353175i never watched this but i have a sort of Mandela effect of watching a really good ad from it on FXLike it has this girl with glasses singing "the girls wear glasses in Portland Portland" i searched for the ad years later and it had a total different comedic vibe, i guess as a kid i took it seriously.
>>222353542Yeah mister show hits on pop culture as premise but instead of someone being OJ they do the sketch about the pope evading cops in the pope mobile and lampoon the general public. And it works because people react the same way to sensationalized news now as they did in 1996
This thread is OVER
>>222353175This was before people relied on others to tell them what to be mad at.
>>222353175Bump
>>222353175It's because Portland at the time hadn't devolved into a commie shithole with ANTIFAggots running around everywhere.
>>222355454It devolved into that precisely because it was populated with white people who read judith butler, religiously
>>222353175I would agree.....but for the first 3 seasons only. Then it just becomes too generic and insists upon itself.
>>222355454ThisPortland and to a bigger extent Seattle is now full of fentanyl tweakers, retarded liberal city councillors and homeless encampments. The hipster culture is largely dead
>>222355454No, it had not been targeted by the CIA propaganda FOR YOU to see it this way. >Pro-fascismFucking zionists
>see thread about show I like >want to talk about a show I like>open thread>nope just politics
>>222355617Ha ha.That's funny. America no good now. Ha Ha. China BIG. yes. America try to catch up with immigration. TOO LATE. ha ha. we stole your technology. Now, we are so powahfurr.
>>222355673A O River! ...I mean, A O /pol/!
>>222355673Politics is like opinions. Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one, and they all stink.
>>222353175It's super comfy. Especially the intro.
>>222355768>Everyone has oneThis was debunked.
>>222353634talking about the first episode intro, the song about the dream of the 90's is alive in portland?
The dream of the 90s is alive in Portland, Portland >the dream.of the 90s is alive in portland
>>222355780same, i'll put the song on from time to time, believe it's called Washed Out iirc>>222355814well i just rebunked it, bitch boy
>>222355886>rebunked itYou're not qualified to make that kind of pronouncement.
CHAZ was and is and will be funnier than this show.
>>222356174you /pol/turds would never have the courage for revolution
>>222356174Chip?https://youtu.be/q7q-4cc1mKs?si=vCLkRsFhckqXD4A2
>>222355673To be fair, Portlandia is a pretty politically charged show
>>222353175A very rare example of leftists laughing at themselves and it's actually good.
>>222356361and they hated it
>>222356174>>222356221Chaz is funnier than Portland’s, as was the warlord and the security guards murdering joyriders, but Portlandia is great because it was showcasing how retarded the culture was before Chaz. The trial of Tim Heidecker isn’t as funny as the Darrell brooks trial, but it came out years prior and almost beat for beat predicted what a retard sovereign citizen self defense would look like. So props are in order
>>222356680yeah but a jury found tim innocent no thanks to that rat maroney
>>222356320this, putting a bird on it has had extreme ramifications for american populace
>>222353175The mayor is the best character
hipster culture is OVER
>>222357270Gavin Newscum?
one of the very finest jonathan krisel contributions to the television arts and sciences. see also: baskets, kroll show
>>222356361>Rare case of funny leftismExcept no....>He's still living in the CHAZThat wasn't even Portland, Flyover. Go back.
>>222353205I wanna fuck her straight James Bond style
>>222353175They would be lynched if they did the feminist bookstore sketch now
>>222357215Darrell “Mathboi Fly” brooks would have had the same fate if that damn uptight judge Jenny would have let him say jury nullification in his closing statements. Fucking admiralty courts
I have one thing to say about Portland, OR.REPLACE THE DAMN BRIDGE ALREADY YOU FUCKS
>>222353175>makes fun of feminism>makes fun of tranniesit's a really comfy show.
>>222358002>Gentle proddinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeDKCt330HY
>>222357523Portland is broke.
>>222355829yes, i remember it much more "cool" and not as a joke
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l611PA2CD_M
>>222353175It's still pretty good. The weird thing is that a lot of the really out there hipster stuff is now just normal, like the restaurant that tells them where everything is sourced or the punchline about the school having a gender swap day>>222356397The real life feminist bookstore stopped them from using their store as a filming location because they found it too offensive. The filming crew also took down BLM posters the store had on display.
>>222353175everyone but those 2 are funny. so i cant stand watching it
>>222357340Baskets is a very strange show, and not in an attractive, cool way either. Just very, very strange. I liked it, Galafianakis was good, the Easter episode from the first season where he's wandering in between Bakersfield and memories of his time in Paris is so fucking real. His fight with his mom at brunch and then their little talk at the slot machines just really strikes somewhere deep. Weird show, would recommend it though.
>>222353175https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW5Xz64F3t4This one really did make me laugh.
>>222353175me and an ex used to smoke a bowl and pound our genitals together and giggle at this shit endlessly. post covid im not dying to rewatch the kino but I will because fred armisen is pretty cool and I can separate artist fron art. but only for him
>>222359256no one wants to read about your butt buddy homo fucking weed smoking gay shit bruh
>>222358931guac tacs
