who gives a shit that you dont give a shit.....really, making a video of "not your opinions, but some of my friends opinions" no one gives a shit about your friends, form your own opinions and dont make videos of it......blaming portland's gayness on the midwesterners haha......the show is funny cuz portland is wack
Every city has it's stereotypes. SHE IS REALLY NOT A HIPSTER. In my opinion. To me hipsters are 11 year old girls that think they can go clubbing and war these high waisted shorts and look like sluts. Fucking society ruined them. You don't even know this chick.
I was born and raised in Portland but moved to the UK to get away from my family. After watching some clips from Portlandia I have decided that it's changed too much. I've been gone 15 years. Most of these people were babies when I left. I feel sad. My home is gone. And I see no humor in the show. Sorry.
lol last 5 seconds of video kinda supports the stereotype, anyway being from portland I think the show is only about a small portion of the city, but is accurate in an exaggerated sort of way. I still like the show, and think that they should develop some of the characters.
Ha ha ha! This has garnered a lot of rash comments, considering she never takes a bold stance for or against, and seems rather non-committal throughout, unconcerned. I just moved to Portland four months ago, and I like it so far. I think the whole "super-organic food, ten syllable coffee order" thing gets a little old, but this place is amusing. I like the kitschy shops, the art everywhere, the cafes. THe show is pretty funny, and definitely shows some of the extremes around here. I keep watchi
Instead of being rude and making rash judgements about someone you do not know you can be MATURE and value the fact that she is entitled to her own opinion. Just saying. :)
Loosen up. The show is funny. It's not just representative of Portland, but pretty much all of the west coast as far as hipsters and hippies go...and you know what, it's hilariously accurate...and it's SUPPOSED to be a exaggerated! And hun, you seem like a bit of hipster yourself.
@MissBethezda You seem to have misunderstood my opinion a bit. I said I think the show if funny and obviously somewhat accurate, but that I just don't really like long skits. I know it's supposed to be exaggerated. I'm not insulted by it by any means, I was talking about my friends opinions on the show, not so much my own. I'm quite apathetic toward the whole thing.
I'm from Portland and i think this show is hilarious. Like, I was cracking up the whole time because people truly act that way. The sad thing is, people that are dumpster diving and asking about organic chicken take themselves seriously.
ALL THAT THIS VIDEO DOES IS REINFORCE THE IDEAS THE SHOW LAMPOONS. YOU ARE EXACTLY THE KIND OF HIPSTER PORTRAYED IN THE SHOW. I'm from seattle and we have the same stupid hipsters here, i'm so glad fred has done this to show how fucking stupid these people and this social movement are. I can't wait to get the fuck out of this region of the country.
If not for Portlandia I would have never gotten interested in visiting there. Because of this show and my friends who moved out there i visited for a week, fell in love, and plan to move there by years end. Totally hilarious show and a lot LOT of it is true to Portland from the week that I visited I hit up quite a few of the spots in the show (Lucky Devil & Gilt Club). Keep Portland Weird!
When I lived in Portland, I couldn't handle all the hippies and goofball shit I encountered, being a native East Coaster and naturally sarcastic. Now that I'm back East with all the rude assholes and "attytood" I do miss Portland - the clean streets, the politeness (even though it's fake). And I have to say that practically ALL of the weirdos I met in Portland WERE from the Midwest and California. The native Portlanders were the nicest, most genuine people I met. Too bad it's so transient.
@Greenberry09 Everyone seems to hate where they're from. I'm from Philly, which I DETEST beyond words and I moved out to Beaverton, which I LOVED but had to work in Portland, which, eh, was nice enough, but the weird stuff got to me. Believe me, you would fall in love with your city again if you ever experienced the garbage dump that IS the East Coast of America. All that being said, Portlandia is definitely very accurate. I would tell people back home about this stuff and nobody'd believe me.
Like all the hipsters.... she trys sooo hard. Newsflash, YOU are a hipster and the worst kind that somehow think you are not because you are so "original".
@Rich711 That was one of the things I'd laugh about when I lived there. Everyone claimed to be unique and expressing themselves, yet they all had the same Asian character tattoos, and piercings, and everyone looked the same and dressed the same and believed all the same things and if you weren't "different" you were not accepted. It was hypocrisy to the nth degree.
@Rich711 I don't think I'm original at all. The opinions I talk about in this video aren't even my own. I don't know or care if I'm a hipster or not, but I get annoyed of people like you who clearly don't know me trying to decide exactly who and what I am and attempting to insult me through said action.
@HaleyVlogs your from Portland one of my favorite bands of all time are from there the (Wipers) obviously that's were my user name came from I made a comment on your video about religion but an error occurred I agree with you 100 percent about how silly the whole thing is, such as why would dinosaurs walk the earth before us and why would we start off as apes if god is supposed to be a man and how would anyone know how many days it took for him to create the world unless he sent down a book lol
It's just an instinctual migration pattern of mid-western youths. We emerge from our corn fields and just dick around either New York or Portland for a few years, mostly in an attempt to find mates. And then we either decide that we like that kind of pretentious Neverland lifestyle and fade into obscurity with our hair braided into dreadlocks, or the novelty wears off and our parents stop sending us money and we go back home to fade into obscurity living in their basement.
It's about time someone saw the humor of the current culture in certain West coast cities. The east coast and mid west have endured jabs forever from the west coast hipsters. But the difference is that they don't turn it around and blame it all on 'non-natives dude.' That kind of denial is a perfect example of why the humor in this show is so spot on.
West coast culture is exported to the rest of the country, not the other way around.
She seems pretty reasonable to me. If it were up to me, I'd say that Carrie Brownstein should get a little more credit for her creative effort, but it's obviously not too high a priority for person expressing her opinion here. My family moved to the Portland area back in the Dust Bowl days, so the place has actually had more of a pioneer flavor than a hipster flavor for me. But there is no doubt that Portland faces the stereotype of being a haven for hipsters, and the show is good satire.
But it's hilarious to make fun of Portland because it's weird. At least the only hipsters in Chicago are those in the "art scene." *Shudder* It's over! The art scene is over!
Uhh.. you people do realize she's not bashing on the show right? She's posting her opinion and agrees with some basis of the show. Probably should turn the volume up on your speakers and listen to what she's saying instead of mocking her appearance.
I'm not knocking your look at all, (you're actually cute), but it's ironic and a little funny how you claim that Portland is misrepresented, yet you have the full on nose piercing-dark makeup-pale look with the headband tied on. LOL, you're pretty much representing the of a stereotype of what someone would expect to see in Portland.
I like your video. I just do. Portlandia? hmm, I dunno,,, I agree that the music video "Dream of the 90's" should have been a beginning and end in itself. But of course it doesn't represent Portland in a positive light. I mean, how could it? Comedians make their living making fun of stuff. Personally, all the stuff they blow out of proportion on the show, are things we love about our city. And we won't stop loving it because of any show. Love ya'll
People shouldn't be offended. I am from Bend, which is pretty much Portland without a skyline. As in, there are shit tonnes of hipsters, punks, eco-friendly individuals, such and such. People from Portland, and basically all of Oregon should be happy about this show, because now there is something that is actually putting Portland/Oregon on the map.
Nerdfighter! "In my pants" lol :) SOLIDARITY WHAT
Also, Portlandia would be kickass funny if it were about San Francisco (which it almost pretty much is), because those assholes really deserve to be made fun of. You guys seem pretty nice from what I've experienced! :)
Interesting...So that's where those f-ing hipsters came from then!?? Send them back to the mid-west PLEASE!!!! I really do dislike Hipsters nasty appearance and Paps Blue Ribbon smelliness!! I would much rather belong to the Guido's!!
I've lived in both the West Coast (SF and Portland) and NJ and honestly, I rather deal with guidos than these hippy / hipsters. They are all predictable. It's like a fascist state: everyone MUST think the same, even eat the same stuff. There is absolutely NOTHING weird about them. In fact, it's like you with your piercings, you're so normal your bland and need them to seem eccentric. And THAT"S why I hate the west coast.
My honest opinion of the show is that its hilarious. The "Put a Bird on it" and "Hide and Seek" episodes are comic gold. I have friends in Portland and have visited several times over the years and we laugh because its a exagerated impression of Portland...its a show its funny people shouldnt take themselves so seriously. Also that one chick is actually Carrie Brownstein from a little band called Sleater Kinney. Thanks and also you are adorable!
i love the show but there are lots of towns in other states that mirror portlandia. on a side note if you took out that nose ring you would look a lot better just saying haha =]
I'm from Portland, and I think you talked too much about this and I'm not sure why you posted this video, and people that get mad about the show, thats just dumb and they obviously arent from Portland cause people from there dont worry about dumb shit like a tv show.
@theNoztube Fully agreed with their - its the Political Correctness army and halfwits inclined that generally dont like everyone else finding out this current degenerate thinking/lifestyle is just a joke
I live in North Portland and I think it's hillarious. It's a great representation of Portland and its diversity. Of course its meant to be funny. If you don't think its funny, maybe its because you see yourself in who they poke fun at. Comeon, a bull ring? thats SO OVER!!!
@guitardude7889 It's not that I don't think it's funny, I do actually thing it's funny. I just get really bored of skits really fast. That's all. Just not my type of show really. Believe me, I make fun of myself all the time, bull ring included.
The fact she dresses and places the same shrapenel on her face as the people in the show and yet claims its only a stereotype is the greatest joke of all
Infact the show really is designed to show how stupid these luny ideologies and sub-cultures are
@oioioi3000 I never said it was just a stereotype, I said there is definitely some truth to the stereotypes. And please tell me what my luny ideologies are. I'd love to hear it. I'm sure I do have a few, but from the bits of the show I have seen I didn't really fit any of them. Appearance wise, yes, I completely fit the stereotype. I don't pretend otherwise.
@HaleyVlogs Well you did say throughout your video that Portlandia was based on stereotypes and generally from my experience in debates or discussions most people do not Like the idea of their argument or arguments being sterotyped - However I agree "stereotypes" or general assumptions are not bad and sometimes not to far from the truth. As I recall I said the SHOW not YOURSELF demonstrates a comedy on the luny ideologies of feminism, reality lacking "intellectuals" and 60's hippie lifestyles
@HaleyVlogs Note I said "these luny ideologies and sub-cultures" not you but the studs in the nose makes me suspect. But really why would you want to follow this type of sub-culture? At least if you were espaniol or germanic culture then a lot of substance. Of course you could go Aussie culture which is NO.1
damned young people who retired in portland complaining. Grin. As some one who is a native northwestener Lets face it it is an exageration but odds are if you have been the least bit involved in the arts, or womens causes, or gone to a semi hip bar you know someone who fits some of the skits. From Vancouver, to Sea-Tac, to Evergreen State College, Portland out to the north end of my hometown Boise, you know 1 co-op, dumpster diver, fixed gear, melodramatic, self involved hypocrite probably.
@potatoradio Oh I know plenty of people that fit the stereotype. My friends just hate the people that fit into the stereotype the show makes fun of, and it pisses them off for Portland to be represented by them. I personally don't give a crap.
also, alot of people in portland are really like people in portlandia, its a city! It has a muuuuuuch smaller population than new jersey, so you cant say all people in new jersey are guidos, because your generalizing an entire state, but if you say all portlanders are hipsters, it could definitely be true because of the smaller population.
That's the great thing about Portlandia. The more popular it gets, the more it ironically makes being a hipster less cool. Sorry to invade on your little world, boners!
Haha I like your point about Jersey Shore. But, yea, I think that people that get offended by this kind of thing need to just chill out. I'm not from Portland, but I visit there at least twice a year, and I've seen the stereotypes, but that's all they are. If there was a show stereotyping Klamath Falls citizens, I would find it hilarious.
@TheOriginalEllemar Actually, you don't know the meaning of the word shithole until you've lived here in Filthadelphia. I'd give my right arm for the politeness and the cleanliness of Portland again, even if I had to put up with the wackos there.
@ellenhutchxx I didn't expect so many people to, but apparently people do care considering how many people ended up watching this and commenting on it. I didn't really expect much of a response or for anyone to really give a shit.
I thought the show is really creative and well put together. If you don't see this show as a representative of Portland, then you are not getting out enough into the Weird to experience it. Portland offers a much different atmosphere than any other major city I have been in. Keep it Weird Portland.
This chick need to chill out ( I have friends in Portland and they say the show is miss representing the town) it's a fucking tv show. In reality u should be happy something even half as good as that show is even on.
@TheBuddylove420 You do realize I don't have a problem with the show, right? I was talking about some of my friends' opinions and why they have a problem with the show.
@TheBuddylove420 haha, seriously, dude... she seems completely chill. I'd like to live where you live if chill, to you, is chiller than this response to the show.
Lived in and around Portland for about 22 years now. The show is a little bit exaggerated, but in some ways it even falls short of some of the weird things and people I've seen around here. HaleyVlogs is right when she says that most of the hipsters the show represents came from outside of Portland so really Portlandia is about a bunch of foreigners who decided to move to Portland because they got the idea in their mind that this is the place for people like them to congregate and live.
So, I live in Laguna Beach, Orange County, (aka the most misrepresented place in the world by the media), and it's really no use to get offended by it. You have to learn to laugh at yourself and others in your community, and realize the shows aren't an attempt to perfectly represent and entire population, but rather to focus on particular groups, or the concepts of particular groups. "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention."
why do people have such a knee-jerk reaction of being total douchebags? She is a sweet girl who is just sharing her opinion. What the fuck? Why can't any of you just do the same, in a respectful way? What happened to decency? Do we have to insult people when we disagree with their opinions?
Just so you know, outside of the Pacific Northwest, no one knows stereotypes about Portland... New Jersey, yes; NYC, yes; LA, yes; Chicago, yes. But... before this show, I had NO IDEA there were so many hipsters in Portland! For instance. I really knew nothing about Portland at all, except that it was a boring version of Seattle.
To me, the joke isn't the stereotypes. The joke is that the characters are so busy trying to cultivate their image that they don't bother trying to understand the ideas and aesthetics they claim to embrace (e.g. "Did you read?"). They're so busy trying to make sure that their friends know that they read Mother Jones that they don't bother thinking about the articles. I agree that hipsters are not the only clique doing this, but their smugness (yes, they are smug) makes them an attractive target.
First season great... Second season not so good.., writing and plots are not tight.

I've lived in both the West Coast (SF and Portland) and NJ and honestly, I rather deal with guidos than these hippy / hipsters. They are all predictable. It's like a fascist state: everyone MUST think the same, even eat the same stuff. There is absolutely NOTHING weird about them. In fact, it's like you with your piercings, you're so normal your bland and need them to seem eccentric. And THAT"S why I hate the west coast.

My honest opinion of the show is that its hilarious. The "Put a Bird on it" and "Hide and Seek" episodes are comic gold. I have friends in Portland and have visited several times over the years and we laugh because its a exagerated impression of Portland...its a show its funny people shouldnt take themselves so seriously. Also that one chick is actually Carrie Brownstein from a little band called Sleater Kinney. Thanks and also you are adorable!

@oioioi3000 I never said it was just a stereotype, I said there is definitely some truth to the stereotypes. And please tell me what my luny ideologies are. I'd love to hear it. I'm sure I do have a few, but from the bits of the show I have seen I didn't really fit any of them. Appearance wise, yes, I completely fit the stereotype. I don't pretend otherwise.
HaleyVlogs 10 months ago
@HaleyVlogs Well you did say throughout your video that Portlandia was based on stereotypes and generally from my experience in debates or discussions most people do not Like the idea of their argument or arguments being sterotyped - However I agree "stereotypes" or general assumptions are not bad and sometimes not to far from the truth. As I recall I said the SHOW not YOURSELF demonstrates a comedy on the luny ideologies of feminism, reality lacking "intellectuals" and 60's hippie lifestyles
oioioi3000 10 months ago
@HaleyVlogs Note I said "these luny ideologies and sub-cultures" not you but the studs in the nose makes me suspect. But really why would you want to follow this type of sub-culture?

also, alot of people in portland are really like people in portlandia, its a city! It has a muuuuuuch smaller population than new jersey, so you cant say all people in new jersey are guidos, because your generalizing an entire state, but if you say all portlanders are hipsters, it could definitely be true because of the smaller population.

Lived in and around Portland for about 22 years now. The show is a little bit exaggerated, but in some ways it even falls short of some of the weird things and people I've seen around here. HaleyVlogs is right when she says that most of the hipsters the show represents came from outside of Portland so really Portlandia is about a bunch of foreigners who decided to move to Portland because they got the idea in their mind that this is the place for people like them to congregate and live.

So, I live in Laguna Beach, Orange County, (aka the most misrepresented place in the world by the media), and it's really no use to get offended by it. You have to learn to laugh at yourself and others in your community, and realize the shows aren't an attempt to perfectly represent and entire population, but rather to focus on particular groups, or the concepts of particular groups. "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention."

Just so you know, outside of the Pacific Northwest, no one knows stereotypes about Portland... New Jersey, yes; NYC, yes; LA, yes; Chicago, yes. But... before this show, I had NO IDEA there were so many hipsters in Portland! For instance. I really knew nothing about Portland at all, except that it was a boring version of Seattle.

To me, the joke isn't the stereotypes. The joke is that the characters are so busy trying to cultivate their image that they don't bother trying to understand the ideas and aesthetics they claim to embrace (e.g. "Did you read?"). They're so busy trying to make sure that their friends know that they read Mother Jones that they don't bother thinking about the articles. I agree that hipsters are not the only clique doing this, but their smugness (yes, they are smug) makes them an attractive target.
