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.

fixed gear messenger dude was hilarious
yeah I did lol at this. "Cars, WHY?"
thought the fixed gear messenger gag was pretty boring and predictable, but maybe i'm just ~sensitive~

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.

haha that line was especially funny cause obvs she was just pulling goddesses out of her ass as a default in defending her partner

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

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.

feminist bookstore person: "That's the thing, book 13 you find out if she is a lady and it pains me to imagine you not knowing her journey."
― 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.

I've just now decided after a few youtube clips that I'm going to start watching this, but I came here to reiterate this FACT. That song is all kinds of rad.

I didn't like much of that episode at all. I think I'll be calling the show quits but I'll give the 4th episode a chance. Every episode has been a less and less funny but I guess even the first episdoe wasn't completely all that great anyways.
― homeless romantic (CaptainLorax), Sunday, 6 February 2011 03:38 (thirteen years ago) link
The aimee mann bit was the first long-running episode gag that I thought really stood on its own and paid off. The "over" sketch was almost snl-quality lame, and the packaging sketch was pretty weak too.
― s.clover, Sunday, 6 February 2011 05:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Aimee Mann was great, so was the loljapanese one.

Maybe it's just being from Seattle, but when I lived in Portland it felt like there were no Asians there.

In my neighborhood, about 70% of the local businesses appear to be Asian.
― Darin, Sunday, 6 February 2011 20:23 (thirteen years ago) link
I hate the Japanese, so I was fine with it.
Actually, I think the reason that I liked this episode was because it came close to this.
