Why doesn't /tv/ talk about Portlandia? >comfy int

It gets old fast and is pretty repetitive, and Fred Armisen is about 1/10th as funny as he thinks he is. It's not bad, but it's not all that good, either.

because unless you are a stupid hipster 90% of that parody is lost on you

I find it an interesting show to watch but I can't tell what is supposed to be funny and what they're making fun of or if it's supposed to show portland as normal.

The later seasons get pretty weird and less comedic.

This.
I stopped watching after season 2, because the premise gets old fast.

It's not really picking on hipsters because Fred and Carrie are massive hipsters. Hipsters give them tons of hipster cred, because it's more like self-aware lampooning than actual mockery.

They try too hard to be weird with the faces and sound effects, making themselves look like a third rate Tim and Eric copycat.

I really like carrie and have since the 90s. But the premise of rhe show gets old fast. Its on what, season 7 now? Thats about 5 seasons too long.

Maybe it's funny if you live in Wisconsin but if you live in a non rural area a lot of us are exposed to this shit all day long and it's not something you wanna relax and enjoy it's something you need to escape.

this, tee-bee-aytch desu familia

the feminist bookstore segments are generally always good. the one with steve buscemi in the first episode always make me laugh

I live in Portland and no one even talks about it here

I've legitimately been putting together a means to purchase a few dozen acres of land for farming and recreation purpose and putting one of those exact trailer houses onto it- one for living purposes, and a small insulated pod for entertainment purposes like video gaming or music.

Pretty funny show. I don't go out of my way to watch it, but I'll stick around if I catch it while it's on.

>>79613362
I dunno, i really like it but it's hard to watch in episodes. I always find the openings fucking hilarious though.

That's funny. I never liked Fred Armisen until Portlandia. Although I did like the Kat and Garth bits on SNL.
