The City of Portland - Portlandia on IFC

[fluxresearchdotcom]

I thought this was going to be a look at the city and instead I get the character on his bike and mostly can't see the city. Damn I hate misleading headlines. Good idea for a video, though. Try exploring this theme a little more directly sometime!

[alexalex736]

Portland is freaken soooooo similar to Seattle, no joke.

[worldpeaz]

Wow .. I moved up from San Diego to Portland in summer of 2010 .. I finally got out in the city because of Occupy .. this is too funny, how spot on it seems to be with what I've observed.

[MrChonchii]

i love the gauges<3

[faithfreakshow]

How did they make his gauges look real!?

[passiveMenis]

@faithfreakshow

great question

[thecastman97]

@faithfreakshow movie magic my friend! lol i think it could be like some clay or whatever, maybe a fake gauging kit lol

[faithfreakshow]

@thecastman97 Or that stuff Gaga puts on her shoulders to make them pointed. The fake skin stuff

[TheGtagtr]

HAHA yeah i've been to both Portland, Oregon and Seattle many times

[TheEtncrew]

This makes a Canadian want to move to Portland!

[whatsarahsaid3]

OH MAN IS THAT SPECIAL AGENT DALE COOPER IN THE BEGINNING??

[MegaGreenman69]

@whatsarahsaid3 Yea he plays the mayor

[mbarker1989]

@whatsarahsaid3  Dale Cooper makes this show.

[NamiHasi]

Portland is weird :)

[vinylrules27]

Portland<Seattle



[deluge101]

Their is SO much they are missing....................Oh my God!

But it is funny...not so acurate...but funny.

[deluge101]

WOW!

They need to widen their outlook...i think they think portland is Downtown only....narrow minded hollywood types...what do you expect...right?

PAPA DON

[dmitrymin]

Seattle > Portland

[rozzydozzy123]

I lovee Portland!!! :]

[LiviJones]

My biggest pet peeve is when people find out I'm from Portland and they say something along the lines of :

"Oh, I've been to Seattle before!"

Really? Wow, that has nothing to do with my precious Portland. This usually comes the same people that pronounce it "OR-EE-GONE." LOL.

[Slyanimationz]

Notice how most of these comments are people saying they live in portland and are the only normal ones... and if you live in Portland (as do I), you are far from normal.

[stevemallen1]

I love Portland, Oregon!

[godmode9]

Hipsters as far as the eye can see!

[MasonLovesBoobies]

I live in Portland xD

[notpetra]

Oh my God it's Dale Cooper!

[Lizzie12348]

ugh, cars, man. WHYYYYYYYY

[MissCPinks]

YAY KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD! =D

[asdfghjkl2222]

@MrWagwaniify

its a mockery of hipsters, who happen to be witless and annoying :) Its just goes to show how original they are if they can be summed up into two TV series.

[frankbluehelmsworth]

yeah making money off the people in a city. Yes. i have chicken in my yard, and i do have a piercing, and i love your band, i wish that the yuppies would just go away, we are over it

[DarthSephiroth2012]

When it hits 0:08, is that Kyle Machlachlan???

[tsarabia1]

@DarthSephiroth2012 YUP!! hes awesome in it :)

[ThomasRowsell]

as a foreigner looking at american tv, i get the impression that most of the population are jewish

[asdfghjkl2222]

@ThomasRowsell

you might be watching too much IFC or other hipster media, they like to dress like jews

[yazeedsh]

@ThomasRowsell man ,, what are the chances that i watched ure video about qatar 2 hours ago and now am reading a comment uve done on smthn about portland!

[ThomasRowsell]

@yazeedsh small world!

[mrsburrows777]

I'm a born and raised Seattle native - maybe less people will move to the PNW if there were more shows like this.

[roundgarage]

WATCH " GUITAR PUPPETS IN PORTLAND' ......

 this is made in Portland, with guitars and puppets from Portland!!!!

[MsMclovin88]

I love this show!

[Chrittah]

Weird ol' Portland is my hometown...and I LOVE IT! Keep it up guys!!

[BarelyAverageGaming]

LOL Just moved from Cali to portland. First words..... WTF IS WROnG WITH THIS PLACE!!!!! lol I love this show even more now!!

[drewsky684]

I slept till 1:30 today

[GravTsport]

I live in SW Portland, and this show is SCARY accurate. They just need to do a snow episode with the cyclist douche going to Les Schwab to get studs for his fixie, and all will be right in the world...Yep.

[rjpcambridge]

Portland is great. Portlandia is hysterical.

[sunbug0319]

Portland is awesome and this show is spot on! Doers anyone that has never been here think this show is funny?

[u4eaz]

lol I love this show. I live in Salem and commute to Portland for school specifically because I absolutely will NOT live there due to the massive amounts of hipster scum. This show PERFECTLY captures those fucking people that you want to murder the second you meet them. Just the other day I ran into a bicyclist EXACTLY like the one depicted in this trailer, I had to stop myself from running him over. Fuck hipsters, and thank you Fred and Carrie.

[snapethebklounger]

@sovereign2017 its not insulting to all oregon, just all the new age emo yuppies in portland. i think its funny, and mildly accurate. and i also live in oregon, if you want to come at me with that.

[tedibearbabe]

I was just introduced to this show today and I live in Eugene, OR. The people they depict in this show fit perfectly for Eugene. After watching this show I've run into most of these types of people today just from walking downtown. I think its hilarious! I can't wait to see more!

[Slyanimationz]

@tedibearbabe Oi, I live in Eugene too, but i was born in Portland and lived there for 6 years... you get used to it

[TUMBLEWEED130]

portland sounds like ann arbor XD

[joeremy302]

I don't get IFC. I wish I did, the videos are very funny.

[thesheikdroveacaddy]

@sovereign2017 deliverance doesnt take place in oregon

[thisgenef4]

@sovereign2017 its because there are tons of racists fucks here, and anyone who has ever stepped foot on PSU campus or hung out at a bar on the east side will tell you that there are a bunch of new age emo yuppie hipsters. america does know us, so many people fit the hipster clone stereotype perfectly

[lauradoestheastro]

All the hot girls wear glasses?

Well, I guess I'm moving to Portland.

[thesheikdroveacaddy]

@lauradoestheastro dont

[Mio248]

This is like Thunderant only brought to television!!! =D

[SamDakota86]

3 people are from Seattle!LMAO

[hannahcieraM]

haha im from portland and I think this show is awesome. Its funny being made fun of. and I dont really see how its insulting...no reason to get worked up over people. just enjoy the damn show (:

[cammc95]

@sovereign2017 calm the fuck down, atleast you dont get stereotyped as faggot guidos like we do in new jersey, no ones like that there, and most of the people who talk shit about us have never been here.

[lllsnowboardinglll]

portland isnt that great

[sweetCARNAGE86]

This show is so funny. It's cool that our culture is recognized, I like being made fun of.

[K1ngMcL3an]

And people ask me why I am going to collage here...

[thegei]

@K1ngMcL3an collage?

lmao maybe you should go back to 6th grade english first.

[Penguinfan744]

Love Portland, love the show.

[nuggz503]

Wheres the meth pipes and penis shaped doughnuts

[roguepenguin12345]

Show looks hilarious, but I'm never going to portland now.

[TheDbworld]

@roguepenguin12345 It's unfortunate that I live here. Hope I can escape one day

[1hrx]

"I GET THIS WHOLE LANE"

So f'n true :D I love it!!

[Gromitdog1]

oh no, your making fun of the 90's!!!! I'm feeling even older now, thanks.

[forallus]

Portland is not interesting as some people think. There are a lot of people without education, and without ambition. The education system is very poor. A lot of dropouts, and kids who only want to smoke pot. If you want to give your children proper education, move to the East Coast !!!!!

[thegei]

@forallus YES, THANK you. finally someone agrees with my idea that everyone should do the same thing, everyone should have the same education, and every parent should build their kid's lives from a formulaic view! If you don't have a bachelor's (Sorry, Associate degrees are glorified GEDs) then you aren't worth my time. God forbid someone does something different than you.

[vaughan8686]

@thegei You know, there's a lot to be said about ambition. And this whole idea that you're being different? Not really, you're just trying to fit into another group of people who consider themselves different.

But I will say that there shouldn't be much difference in education between the east and west coast. That's not really fair.

[thegei]

@vaughan8686 I'm not a Portlander. I am of a different background and live about an hour south, but a lot of friends live in Portland are, more or less, the stereotype portrayed here. For the most part, yeah, the Portlander hipster thing really is just a trend for a lot of people. Those that live across the river on the east side are really all about what makes them happy and keeps them, mostly, out of trouble. I might not do the same, but I respect people who "just don't care man".

[1VeryModestMouse]

@thegei "if you don't have a bachelor's then you aren't worth my time.'' ... God help us..

[thegei]

@1VeryModestMouse Come on dude, I was being sarcastic and it was in response to someone taking a shot at the quality of education on the west coast. I could care less if someone has a piece of paper that states their "mastery" in a specific field.

[1VeryModestMouse]

@thegei sry sarcasm can be confusing on the internet though because of how ignorant people are.

[nuggz503]

@forallus You need to get out of Hawthorne dist.

[jascrystalspike]

lol. We could use a new TIM and ERIC, especially after they started sucking.

[TheSterTube]

@503ttd No I Was just saying that Portland is stupid not this show. I love this show and it shows how people in Portland is extremely retarded and I live in the Portland area and I wish I could get out.

[HowlsFury]

<3 this show is awesome, I think all the hipsters are in for a rude awaking

[stevemallen1]

"Please don't make it like Seattle." =)

[cimoirine]

@stevemallen1 lol!!!!!! that was SUCH a portland line. 

[Klaymator97]

@stevemallen1 What's wrong with my hometown? Haha

[TheUrbanhippy]

so friggin EPIC.

[OrientAfterHours]

haha! I swear I saw a guy that looked exactly like that in Portland when I as little. But his gauges were like 3 times bigger

[Avenamerena]

The West coast is exponentially better than anywhere else! Go Portlandia!

[asdfghjkl2222]

Not really, but keep thinking that and stay away form the east coast.

[warrenfcole]

Awesome!

[gooregonducksable]

@SecularTechnology, you need to quit sucking your fuckin chode and wake up because at least you live here and if you don't STFU I will find you and get you, I will sew ur asshole up and feed you food then when u need to shit you won't be able to then I'll kill your fat fuckin ass

[Shadowgoddess08]

I almost shit my pants laughing at it cause I see one of these guys every 5 seconds screaming.

[smart107]

It's funny because it's true.

[jinchodemierda]

we thought brooklyn was hipster capital

[gooregonducksable]

Fuck all you haters Portland is so much better then Vermont or Seattle. If you think your city is better well guess the hell what, We Portlanders have a Tv Show, and you people don't got shitt

[SecularTechnology]

@gooregonducksable

Shut up Portland pussy. Portland is a pile of cow shit city. We don't need a TV show. And Carrie Bitchstein was born and raised in Seattle area.

[eirefrance]

@SecularTechnology Bitchstein? Uggh, way to be hateful AND unoriginal all wrapped up in one.

[islespatrick]

I HATE the hipsters here in Portland.

[stevekon11]

You two should change the name of your band to lala land,seriously I grew up in sellwood,back in the seventys kids would sit around in large circles,with long hair,cut off shorts no shoes ,they would pass around a bottle of beer ion plain view along with a joint.Id view this from the pitchers mound during a little league game.There was a sense of freedom that was genuine,later we could cruise 82nd from sunny side to marine drive muscle cars bumper to bumper.that was forcably stoped in 80's,nota.

[TheSterTube]

Portland is a stupid city!

[reaperphilia]

Eugene sucks Phil Knight. Sportsville U.S.A.  Rah! Rah! Rah! It's about as hip as a whore huffing a jockstrap.

[Noticemenow]

hahah i like the part about not trying to be Seattle. Portland couldnt keep up with us if they tried. and they do try. and they dont keep up.

[SecularTechnology]

@Noticemenow

Bingo

[SuperTeamramrod]

No way Eugene is next. All the hipsters are making a mass exodus to portland as we speak, because of this show! Thank god!

[7thMalakh]

"please dont make it like seattle" LMFAO!!!

[MsPersia123]

Yes where all the young people come to retire. Love it!!

[WeAreFunniest]

oh and its true that all the hot girls wear glasses.

[WeAreFunniest]

WOOO MY CITY IS ON YOUTUBE! I LIVE SO CLOSE TO ALL THIS

[Nomeninja2]

And they're right, the dream of the 90's IS alive in Portland!

[skidaeast]

[angstyDarko]
