Portland is weird but there are more average citizens trying to make a living and being normal than the hipster do nothings. It's defined by it's extremes. If I had to live in a large city it's Portland over any other big city.
Is that Jack Black in the red shirt and black leather jacket beginning at 0:57? It kinda looks like him and I could see him being invited to do the cameo. What do you think?
Living in the shadow, and I do mean shadow, of the real Portlandia, I feel impelled to laugh maniacally at the cultural suicide blatherig idiots like Sam Adams -- and the entirety of the Portlandia City Council, along with the City Club -- IMPOSE on those who are even moderately responsible for their own lives.
But then, that is liberalism. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
i lived in Portland for 5 years. What I got out of it is people there are sooooo friendly and genuinely kind! But it gets you lazy is true....really is a city for young people to retire. If you want to look for a good career, this might not be a place to be(since Portland is known as one of the cities in nation that has the highest unemployment rate.) Anyway, I miss Portland! Keep Portland weird!
Um.... thanks, Portlandia creators... until now, I didn't know that the dream of the 90s was dead everywhere except Portland... that was kind of my dream, and now it's kind of ruined...
( JK, I love this show-- it's a stupid beyitch c: )
( but I was serious about not knowing that my lifestyle was outdated... :\ )
I get four thousand dollars next month,if portland is anything like this im taking a bus there.i missed the 90s and im fifteen minutes south of seattle.im not talking about hell,its just tacoma.
@farrarjr3 haha i youtubed this just because i just read an article in the new yorker and they said it was the adult sesame street, and i got intrigued lol!
My next door neighbor was trying to be a clown, rode a unicycle, and took up devil sticks as a hobby. Oh, and his sister was hot & wore glasses. I would say the Portlandia writing staff did their homework
Last summer I saw about 100 people riding their bicycle in the nude in SE Portland.......and one guy dressed as bigfoot (or maybe that actually was bigfoot).
Portland, this is the single reason I went to visit your city. It was all I hoped for. I'm interning for a federal judge just to get there 2 years from today.
I honestly don't understand why the people I go to college with are so focused on New York and Chicago. Portland is immaculately clean, laid back, and refreshingly weird.
@MyLulu06 really? they still talk about nirvana and like bands like blink182 the smashing pumpkins and has cool punk chicks and wear pants that dont make you sterile? and visit each other just to hang out? fuck it must be like heaven
I like the girl at the very beginning of the singing in the black to his right walking up the ramp, singing, Portland, Portland, with the water and cityscape in background. Right behind Fred to his right. She reminds me of the feeling of many people in Portland. Could really see her anywhere standing on a Portland street anywhere.
@SounderBruce I'm waiting on the regional convention. Portland walks in, raving about the new show. Seattle flies across the room, trying to strangle her; as Vancouver watches and San Francisco cries. Tacoma is too self absorbed to notice.
@AnjiiLeahAnn Lots of major cities have the gentrified "young person retirement home" area where trust fund kids ride out their urban adventure on their parents' dime ($40k art school tuition, rent paid, $1000-$4000 a month POCKET MONEY): Portland OR, Williamsburg Brooklyn, parts of Austin Texas, Hollywood CA, etc.
@WillCorg Well said.. I was born and raised in Portland, you know, before it became "weird",, Where did that come from anyway? It's changed so much I chose to move the H out of there... So glad I did. Lots a great childhood memories but those days are gone... Oh man are they...
The beauty of Portlandia is the on target portrayals of the quirky, obsessive and neurotic characters who exist in the matrix of today’s popular culture.
If you like this kind of thing watch the JERRY RIO videos where he mines similar territory in a different way. Observational interactive humor on the streets of NYC. From the 90's
@fralust Whoa. You think it's STRANGE that so many people keep harping and posting pissy gibberish to you?! Usually when more than one person says something smells like crap, it probably really does SMELL LIKE CRAP.
