xp -- does carrie b have an affected voice? i can't stand her on all songs considered either but that's just because she has The Most Boring Opinions Ever. (much <3 2 s-k and my girl corin though)

thought that 1st episode was funny enough, but this LOL HIPSTER shit is wearing very thin. guess this could be slightly more interesting as a "insiders' perspective" or whatever. at least that puts them in a position to make something more than LOL FIXED GEAR BIKES, OBSCURE MUSIC.

I don't have IFC, but they shd def have a scene in the Portland Eagle, both the funniest and 'nicest' Eagle of the ones in which I've actually seen leather and flogging.

guess the first episode was funny enough, but I'm having a hard time imagining that this premise is sustainable.

someone upthread said the worst sketch was the buscemi one but that was the one that made me really laugh (not so much for buscemi) and think about watching this for more than one episode. sleater-kinney girl is not really any good at comedy, though.

white effete counterculture liberals making fun of themselves without turning it into a hilaaaaarious ironic rap song for once is okay by me, at least on a conceptual level. Bored To Death is doing it well, The Goode Family did it poorly, this is probably somewhere in between.

yeah i watched this and it was pretty funny, shipley otm when he says "at least theres no rapping." theyre def shooting fish in a barrel but theyve got pretty good aim. laughed the hardest at the old woman in the hide and seek sketch

Watching this primarily for Carrie but the rest is good too

is the full episode up anywhere else? seems like it was pulled from hulu. the 'I read it' sketch is pretty funny.

it made me really nostalgic!i miss seattle. some of the portland funny, but a lot cleaner/less hipster?

are portland hipsters more socially/enviromentally conscious than brooklyn hipsters? serious question.

― ice cr?m, Saturday, 22 January 2011 18:29 (thirteen years ago) link
ime new yorkers who think they are green are at like 33% of pnw-er environmental consciousness, but i'm not sure how that breaks down with hipsters specifically.
― tehresa, Saturday, 22 January 2011 18:29 (thirteen years ago) link
honestly i think the platonic portland stereotype is really more a hippie thing. i mean there are keffiyehs and coke but that's not really what you make fun of when you make fun of portland.

I've already met a few Portlanders that were actually offended by this show. Of course, these guys are living, breathing Miranda July characters who spend their weekends creating hand-made board games and won't eat anything that comes out of a plastic bag. So mission accomplished, I guess.

the piece i heard yesterday on npr in which carrie b describes a pet shop who will sell her animal carcasses for her dog to chew on, but is outraged at the thought of carrying leather leashes.

I think I know the place she is talking about. It's in the Buckman neighborhood. I've never been there but that sounds like what I've read about the place.
When those 20 year olds retire and have kids, they all wind up going to Buckman Elementary.
