really enjoyed this! the whole chicken farmer thing went on a bit too long and the payoff was v predictable but it had good things in it too.

this was meh - not bad but not great either.
also Fred Armisen is like the ugliest motherfucker in the world. shudder to think of his hideous couplings with Peggy Olsen

trenchmouth was such a great band, fred rules as a drummer
anyway the skit about how local the chicken was was pretty funny IMO, i've gotten a pretty similar jive talk from waitresses at places in mpls

i watched my first ever ep of parks and recreation last night and didn't laugh once
immediately watched this and was in STITCHES.
agreed that buscemi sketch was the worst part but my god. the rest was just brilliant. so many of the lols weren't "in the script" so to speak - it wasn't all about clever-clever quips (like p&r) it was about armisen and brownstein just nailing certain attitudes and ways of speaking

Dog sketch slayed me. Really feels like we're just listening in on the private jokes of a couple. I wish they didn't push so hard for the punchline and just let the characters play out.

saw episode one today. it taught me two things i never would have thought possible: first, former sleater-kinney guitarist Carrie Brownstein can be funny; second, current snl cast member fred armisen can be funny.

^^^best line of the show so far. "cacao" close second.

finally saw this show, it's p. great. it helps that i live in eugene where we have a complex about how great everyone thinks portland is. my close friend ran a feminist bookstore in her youth, so i find those skits extra hilarious.

I like the feminist bookstore 1&2 and "dream of the 90's" skits the best. There's lots of individual parts of skits that I like as well. I thought "cacao" was the worst skit - mostly because the appearance of the characters made me uncomfortable. My favorite mocking of hipsters was the couple ordering chicken, the feminists (obv), animal rights couple going crazy, technology overload (I've been victim to that), how unphased the girl was about the guy who buys her a car (reminds me of certain people and summer isle residents), and all the folks in the "dream of the 90's" skit.

still believe that the show would be funnier if they dialed back the punchlines
― boots get knocked from here to czechoslovakier (milo z), Wednesday, 2 February 2011 20:39 (thirteen years ago) link
It probably would be funnier to edit out some of the less funny absurdist punchlines but a lot of these skits are leading to no ending because they are largely just characterization and dialog.
I would be fine with editing off the baby tied to the pole but the ending with Buscemi trapped in bookstore and the ending with the bird getting smashed were pretty good ways to close those skits.

― homeless romantic (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 2 February 2011 20:52 (thirteen years ago) link
like how else do you end the technology overload skit? the absurdist ending was as good as any other at that point but obviously the most funny part was everything else
― homeless romantic (CaptainLorax), Wednesday, 2 February 2011 20:54 (thirteen years ago) link
Best part of the "PUT. A. BIRD. ON. IT." skit is all the breaking stuff.
