Is Portlandia a good show, from a /mu/ point of view? Or is it lulz look a quirky indie band haz cameo (: D).
its shit
>>60993551
pitchfork: the show
>>60993551
why do people ever want the consensus of this terrible, terrible place before they check something out?
>>60993766
because we all respect each other greatly and trust that we would never steer each other wrong on matters such as this
>>60993551
Never saw but I saw a preview for it on Netflix and it looked like dogshit
fred armisen was in a band
>>60993551
for real??
>>60994273
And Carrie Brownstein is in Sleater Kenney
It can be pretty funny. It's heavily satirized so try not to get too butthurt of the depictions of Portland's finest hips. Also, Sleater Kinney is dogshit but if you like girlcore music, you'll fucking love this show.

>Sleater Kinney is dogshit
I thought this too until I saw them live. They fucking rip.
I liked the skit with joanna newsom.
annie is cute! CUTE!
>>60993551
it's pretty funny. sometimes they overdo a joke but the basis isn't bad
I like that pet sounds studio bit tho
pretty cool when I'm in the mood for it. Never liked sweater kinney but fred is a funny dude. Ill watch anything that has aubrey plaza even if its just a one episode cameo.
>>60994994
This, sometimes something I'm not that into can run on and on but overall I find it funny, the humour is 'wholesome' without being really cheesy and i'm into that. that was on of my favorites too along with the feminist bookstore characters.
OP here. Holy shit chloe sevigny is in the show. That's all I needed to know. I'm watching it.
It's funny. Some episodes are kinda meh but most are great.
Individual skits can be hilarious, but the quality is honestly really scattershot.

This skit is basically mu in a nutshell though.
>>60994994
>pet sounds studio bit
Honestly the only skit I can recommend.
They should have done something better with J Mascis.
Its pretty shit. I guess Im biased though because all of the people it motivated to move here are ruining are quaint city. I guess portland has always been kind of weird but now theres an overwhelming expectation for it.
And yeah after that old navey ad, theyre sell outs so double fuck you portlandia.
its bad.
but the parts where fred armissen makes a repetitive gesture that drags on are fucking painful
It's pretty funny, better as a background show than active watching. Inconsistent, but has great bits. I hate to be that guy but it is better high/drunk/whatever. Better as background.
>>60995754
holy fucking kek it is
As a Portlander I hate this shit
Portland was a completely normal small city before 2010, then hipsters became the cool thing and everybody started moving here, Portlandia doesn't help
now the mayor declared a housing crisis and I can't remember the last person I met who was actually born in Oregon
>>60993766
It's because faggots don't know how to form their own opinion, so they have to ask the internet.
>>60996058
My cousin is one of those people.
Note to all hipanons. Stay the fuck away from Raleigh.
>>60995754
>they didn't take the Talk Talk album
Pleb Central High

memes kill, and it's sad that isn't a joke

lol figured it was gonna be that sketch before clicking the link
Overall I do really like the show and as some people have stated - a lot of the sketches are hit or miss. I like the road it takes tho as a sketch show that has an overall theme every episode and all the original recurring characters are really funny. A few of the sketches definitely ride on the cameos within them but I do find the show entertaining and I'll laugh every episode.

You seem barely literate

Could've been Party's Over or It's My Life. Can't really expect that group of adults to appreciate New Romantic, even if it's good New Romantic.

raleigh hills? im in multnomah village
I feel like 2 years ago everyone I knew was trying to get places in NE and SE but it's too expensive now so everybody moved to SW
>>60997103
lol

Raleigh, NC. You won't catch me in Oregon.
>>60993637
They've made fun of it on an episode and it was actually kinda funny
>>60993551
I feel like it's a good show but it's not a show I want to brag about watching.
I don't want it to represent me in any way, and I think it's entertaining and comfy sometimes
>>60993551
It's got some funny moments and it routinely rips on all the "speshul snowflakes"... plus I think Carrie is a cutie.

how do people in north carolina talk?
>>60998650
They say things like "Raleigh, NC.", and "You won't catch me in Oregon".
>>60998650
Some have accents and others talk like normal bland Americans.
>>60998667
I'm not a native :^)

wait, what? please elaborate, I live near raleigh and i'm freaking the fuck out over this.
>>60993551
I'm not a huge fan of the show and I feel like it gives people this false image of Portland being some "hipster sanctuary". but I respect Fred Armisen and he can do whatever he feels
>>60999395
Chill out Raleighbro. I just don't want the triangle area to become like Portland.
>>60999479
oh, that's for sure. for some reason I read your post as Raleigh slowly becoming an east coast portland which freaked me the fuck out.
>>60999479
Word is getting out, unfortunately for you. I've lived in DC for 3 years, so there's a ton of transplants from all over, and the gentrification crowd is really bullish on Raleigh. Never been there myself, but they say it's nice.
>>60999538
Goddamnit. Tell them to fuck off to Minneapolis or Oxford, Missouri.
>>60999525
Our nightmare might be coming true according to >>60999538
>>60999596
oh lord
>>60993551
It has its moments, it's nice to watch if you're fucked up. It's a little weird if you're not intoxicated though.
Only good thing to come out of that show was the episode where Annie Clark was doing posing in that outfit.
Everything else is boring drab shit
>>60993551
Both
i enjoy it.

that's what you get for having weirdos
