Oh yeah I can see a bit of myself in some of these characters.......
Love this show. I've been in Portland since I was 2. And when traveling to CA and WA, I miss the Portland stereotypes. I think the people complaining just don't realize that its a good thing. We don't have the CA blonde girl with a small dog in her purse, we don't have the NJ big hair and fake tan. Our stereotype is book worms, glasses and music junkies. I know it not everyone here, but you have to be pretty proud of it!

I loved the episode about the chicken named Collin. That's the obsessive side of our "green" city. I work at a local grocery chain and deal with these types all the time. As for the hipsters, I hate them and avoid that area of town. It's not like they are everywhere. I moved here from Boulder, CO because I found the diversity of people and landscape incredible. The natives are the best people I've ever known. Believe me, 19 years in a rude, competitive, upper class WHITE city sucks.
Please people don't look at this show and think this is what portland's all about.I moved to portland when I was 4 and can't think of going anywere else.Wanna' know the truth about Portland.
1:Home of the TrailBlazers,Winterhawks,Ducks,Beavers,and now Timbers
2:Freindly people in Portland
3:Home of the 2 time world rap champion Illmaculate
@CommandoX11 It's okay, Ever since southpark came out a lot of people think Colorado is made up of a bunch of shit cowtowns. You just learn to laugh with it.
I am a PORTLAND NATIVE. I remember a time when Tom Peterson would wake you up in the middle of the night, a buzz cut was cool and the "Pearl" was a warehouse district you didn't walk in alone. They used to tell us that someday people would move here from all over, little did we know that meant every slacker kid from graphic design school in the US. I'll take the influx of Californians from the 80's any day over some 22 year old dumpster diver with no ambition over the next $1 pabst.
one thing i didnt see in this show are all the cracked out black people that just hang out on the streets constantly.last time i went to portland, i lost all my money gambling with some black dude claiming to have the fastest hands on the east coast.
This made me despise Portland, to be quite honest. I'm sure when I get to see the actual place my opinion will change considerably, but the Portland I see on that show makes me want to punch someone in the face with Brass knuckles.
just got back from P-land and i don't give a F about this gay ass show , however , it seems like every yuppie there is a swinger and none of them are really attractive. the lesbians are pretty butchy too. i'm gonna move there as soon as i sell a buncha shit on e-bay and get a new timing belt for my jetta .
This is my hometown, which I plan to move back to in the next four years, and I full-heartedly agree that this is just what portland is like! Dear lord, maybe this show will sustain me until I move back.
Finally someone makes a show about how awesome/weird Oregonians are. I live in Eugene, Oregon! Almost as weird as Portland is lol. I went to a concert in Portland and there was this crazy lady yelling at people, a nasty rustic porno theater (paris theater), and this fucking black bum kept following me and my friends around asking us for 50 cents lol.
@PriscillaRelentless - I remember the days when Gresham was quasi-respectable, middle-class suburbia. Times have changed, huh? Last time I was back in Oregon I drove through my old neighborhood and almost started crying.

i live here, and all the scenes from the waterfront that they show are all places me and my buddies go during our summers and weekends. im a junior in high school :)
It is sad that most of the media attention Portland gets is about the freaks that reside there. There are normal people in the Suburbs, but downtown is a major freak show. I avoid downtown unless I am forced to go there for my job. Then you have to get there before 7:00am to find a parking spot.. The traffic flow is a joke, it takes about 15 minutes to drive 5 blocks. Then if you have to go around the block, you might have to drive 8-10 blocks before you can turn. What a mess!
@drivewizard fuckin suck it up. I lived their my whole life and not once have someone try to sell me crack. Only thing about portland that annoys the hell outta me is the Bums. They are everywhere in portland.
No, I don't agree that this represents Portland. It's the obnoxious imaginings who want the world to be something which I'm glad to say it isn't. Get a life.
I hope the show also showcases the racism that defines Portland/Oregon. One of the highest collections of KKK splinter groups in the country, some of the most violent white supremest groups in the country, 7th highest hate crime states (raw numbers not per capita) acdording to the FBI with 80% of those being race based. White liberals in denial is Portland. Outside of that gripe the show looks to be very funny.

@sfrber2003 actually the splinter groups are located in the suburbian areas around Portland but the city itself is known as one of the most tolerant places in the country. Portland proper is different from suburbia.
To everyone watching this video: If you don't already know, the complete first episode of Portlandia is on Hulu, free. I watched it, and I must say, it was better than I expected. The setting is just that, a setting, it is not the premise or focus of the entire show. Sure there are jabs that only rainbrains would understand, but the show is just an over the top, almost cartoonish sketch show, and I thought the first episode was great.
I was born and raised here for almost 19 years and this is EXACTLY how Portland is. I thought every other city was like Portland as well until I started traveling. Portland is unique and I look forward to watching these episodes.
Confessions of a recovering rainbrain (true story):
A bunch of years ago, me and my Portlander friend were sitting in his living room on a bright, early summer morning, wondering what we both should do with a full tank of gas and a day off.
Me: "How about beautiful Columbia Gorge?"
Him: "Naaah, been there a bunch of times already."
(silence)
Him: "How about Silver Falls State Park with the seven-mile hike of georgous waterfalls?"
Him: "You know how many times I've been to the coast by now?"
(silence)
Him: "How about Mt. St. Helens?"
Me: "Seen it."
(silence)
Me: "How about Mt. Hood."
Him: "Naaaaaaah.
Very long silence ensues as we both try to think of yet another amazingly beautiful place within driving distance of Portland. Then, all of a sudden...
Me: "Dammit, dude, why don't we just BOTH drive to the AIRPORT and fly to the worst part of DETROIT? Geez! All these places the tourists pay tons of money to get to, pro photographers envy all these places we get to live near... then there's us, so goddamned bored with them all!"
Why is everyone offended? This is like, exactly what Portland is like. It's weird as fuck, there are hipsters everywhere that migrated from California and Seattle, everyone here is either super-conservative or super-liberal.
But to be honest, it's really fun living here. Can't wait for the show. <3
Then one day... there you are... skulking in a dark corner at Powells... carrying a Henry Weinhards 6-pack in a cloth grocery bag... stuffing your face with an organic hummus-and-sprouts pita bread sandwich... listening to some goth girl reciting poetry as you silently contemplate going somewhere, anywhere... except you've already seen everything within a 2 hour radius over a zillion times... then it dawns on you: Congrats! You have become a RAINBRAIN! AAAAHHHH!!!
@EscapedFromOregon funny posts, I have found that I've become more optimistic since I left Portland. I'm also less opinionated too. All in all it's a great place. It's isolation from the rest of the US help and hurt it at times.
Ah yes... I remember living in Portland... I had no idea how utterly insidious it would be. It's what you become when you live there for too long... the constant, gray, misty rain slowly soaking into your soul over the years and you don't ever realize it... you just end up with this vague negativity slowly seeping into your opinions and choices in life as you isolate yourself in your basement or the nearest coffeeshop because it's always raining so darn much outside... (continued)
@rivergirlre "stop talking about pot it's not what portland is about"
Hahahahahah - snort. Dude - we legalized pot for "medicinal" uses (like anxiety for instance). Ask anyone on the street the last time the burned up and it'll be within 5 days. Any time I got to a movie there's at least one baked person withing 5 people of me.
Portland LOVES the pot man! legalize 4evahhhh! (idiots). This state would be permanently baked if given the option and the way they fight for it.
This gotta be the worst trailer I've ever seen, not because the show looked bad, but because I could actually not see or get an idea of what the show is about. Anyway, I'm gonna watch the pilot
@Dexterprog Look up "thunderant." I suspect the humor is maybe a bit more dry than it's going to be in Portlandia, but it pokes fun at Portland and is done by the same people.
Oh, my lost love Portland! I was living there as a "retired" young person in the early 90's. Of course, Portland was even more Portland at that time. Rent was cheap and The Pearl was a bunch of empty warehouses that bands could practice in for almost nothing. I left Never Never land to take a job...of course it was an Americorps job, but I needed a bridge from waitressing to the real world! What was I thinking! Don't change PDX, I'll make it back home to you someday...
I live in Vancouver which is 2 minutes north of Portland and I hope this show gets into how amazing the pot is out here. It's becoming America's pot location. Forget what you heard about Cali and BC. It's the city of roses. Home of the Purple Kush.
@LoveStonedJosh lol, ive had oregon weed. it doesnt compare to what we have in california. And I liked in portland for 17 years, 7 of those smoking weed.
@apnigga It's still great duder. Enjoy the smoke down there though. What kinda smoker would I be to hate on what you're burnin on. Haha perhaps I've changed in 7 months. Obviously still burnin though.
@314159265piis Portlandia is a sculpture by Raymond Kaskey located above the entrance of Michael Graves' Portland Building in downtown Portland, Oregon at 1120 SW 5th Avenue. It is the second-largest copper repoussé statue in the United States, after the Statue of Liberty.
the beautiful thing is that the people that have lived her their whole lives like me will love this show. its the people that have moved her from cali or whatever that will actually be offended! keep portland weird!
i was born and raised in portland..... currently still reside here..... this is exactly what portland is like. im currently attending u of p and am gettting my bachelors in clowning.
AH YOU MOTHER FUCKERS KILLED MY TOWN! People born and raised here arnt like this...it was all the freaks from out of town that turned Portland in to a circus...This is so true though, I hate to admit it. Please visit but dont fucking move here. Ps. fuck hipsters...I say that with "steps" shaved in my hair.
@DRINKDRANK123 As someone born and raised here, I completely disagree. I'd say we usually do turn out like this. Portland's a counter culture haven since the 60's. Accept your hipster status, my friend. Stop fighting and give in to the velvet blazers.
@ethandestruction By Portland, do you actually mean Vancouver, Gresham, or Beaverton? I don't know how anyone can live in Portland and not see how true this is.
@MassHero Actually, from the police reports that I read on drill weekends at the National Guard armory in Gresham, seems most of the Gresham druggies prefer heroin.
@citydogisu I personally prefer heroin, and I guess most of Gresham does, but I have encountered quite a few tweakers in my time. Lived here all my life, and I can assure you, Gresham is a shithole.
@MassHero But to be fair you do have the cheapest blowjob rates in the country, that means economic infrastructure which means bye-bye recession fear.
@MassHero lol i live on 188th or as the neighborhood likes too call it the shady 8s i know how u feel ive lived north north east n beaverton everywhere out here and its fucked over here
Keep writing negative things about portland please. it may help curve the next invaition of out of state hipster that come, and fuck up our beautiful city. We have way to many fixxie riders as it is, and now this fucking T.V. show. GOD DAMN IT HOOLYWOOD, do you have to rape everything cool, and for what? The almighty dollar. EAT THE RICH, and don't move to portland!!
"His name was Colin. Here are his papers."....If that doesn't sum up the self-righteous foodies here in Portland, I don't know what does. Can't wait to watch this series!
So true - I've been to a day long "feast" that was skillfully prepared by buddhist art-hippies using only foods that were dumpster-dived from local grocery stores. "Where young people go to retire."
The hipsters are already in Portland. Those of you who are afraid of this driving posers to the city aren't very aware of what's going on around them...
@PseudoKitsch So true! I used to complain about the "hipsters" in Portland all the damn time. While sipping my organic Stumptown roast and bitching about bands that "sold out." While shopping for velvet blazers at thrift stores. While trashing a Nike company car. While bartering over a bag of weed with a mohawked stripper. While brewing my own kombucha.. Now I see the light. My name is Priscilla and I am a Portland hipster.
I hope this show tanks quickly and quietly because, if it's successful, all kinds of asswipes are gonna be moving to Portland. Our city's trendy enough as it is. We don't want douches here douching the place up.
@johnbohl John, we get your point of view. But do you really have to be posting this same remark on everything to do with this show? Why not just let these people do what they love doing and not worry about what may or may not come of our town because of one small television show.

Portland, my city of origin, to which I frequently return, has plenty of "material" to make a Sustainable comedy series:
- Here you can make a living repairing Birkenstock shoes!
- The city doesn't believe in de-icing streets in the winter for fear of damaging weeds and grass lining roadways!
- Bike huggers rule - paying no road taxes, road laws appear to be 'suggestions'!
- Chop down a tree without a permit - you is in big trouble!
- Friendliest people anywhere, but are lousy drivers

You have become a RAINBRAIN! AAAAHHHH!!!
Welcome to Portland.

@EscapedFromOregon funny posts, I have found that I've become more optimistic since I left Portland. I'm also less opinionated too. All in all it's a great place. It's isolation from the rest of the US help and hurt it at times.

Ah yes... I remember living in Portland... I had no idea how utterly insidious it would be. It's what you become when you live there for too long... the constant, gray, misty rain slowly soaking into your soul over the years and you don't ever realize it... you just end up with this vague negativity slowly seeping into your opinions and choices in life as you isolate yourself in your basement or the nearest coffeeshop because it's always raining so darn much outside... (continued)

@rivergirlre "stop talking about pot it's not what portland is about"
Hahahahahah - snort. Dude - we legalized pot for "medicinal" uses (like anxiety for instance). Ask anyone on the street the last time the burned up and it'll be within 5 days. Any time I got to a movie there's at least one baked person withing 5 people of me.
Portland LOVES the pot man! legalize 4evahhhh! (idiots). This state would be permanently baked if given the option and the way they fight for it.

This gotta be the worst trailer I've ever seen, not because the show looked bad, but because I could actually not see or get an idea of what the show is about. Anyway, I'm gonna watch the pilot
Dexterprog 1 year ago
@Dexterprog Look up "thunderant." I suspect the humor is maybe a bit more dry than it's going to be in Portlandia, but it pokes fun at Portland and is done by the same people.

Oh, my lost love Portland! I was living there as a "retired" young person in the early 90's. Of course, Portland was even more Portland at that time. Rent was cheap and The Pearl was a bunch of empty warehouses that bands could practice in for almost nothing. I left Never Never land to take a job...of course it was an Americorps job, but I needed a bridge from waitressing to the real world! What was I thinking! Don't change PDX, I'll make it back home to you someday...

I live in Vancouver which is 2 minutes north of Portland and I hope this show gets into how amazing the pot is out here. It's becoming America's pot location. Forget what you heard about Cali and BC. It's the city of roses. Home of the Purple Kush.

@314159265piis Portlandia is a sculpture by Raymond Kaskey located above the entrance of Michael Graves' Portland Building in downtown Portland, Oregon at 1120 SW 5th Avenue. It is the second-largest copper repoussé statue in the United States, after the Statue of Liberty.

@DRINKDRANK123 As someone born and raised here, I completely disagree. I'd say we usually do turn out like this. Portland's a counter culture haven since the 60's. Accept your hipster status, my friend. Stop fighting and give in to the velvet blazers.

@PseudoKitsch So true! I used to complain about the "hipsters" in Portland all the damn time. While sipping my organic Stumptown roast and bitching about bands that "sold out." While shopping for velvet blazers at thrift stores. While trashing a Nike company car. While bartering over a bag of weed with a mohawked stripper. While brewing my own kombucha.. Now I see the light. My name is Priscilla and I am a Portland hipster.
