Portlandia: Dream of the 90s [ HQ ]

[mdswim2002]

I love this song!!

[avmthree]

Where is the 12 inch version?

[flossy1236]

"Turn that dirty clown frown right upside down" :-D

[ssx47]

am going to Portland

[Trogdor4000]

Fucking HIPSTERSSSSS!!!!!

[664566565]

I bet it's great for thrift store owners. I'm not even kidding when I say I want to move there

[superuberchris]

@danibean93 I'm conservative and still love Portland. Love living there, love the people, the nightlife, and sine you're only 18 I'm guessing, you don't know how amazing Portland can truly be. So go fuck yourself and learn to lighten up.

[betty3269]

ha ha ha this is all funny cuz its true ahh Portland Or <33 i do love it here very much.

[yaoilover1488]

Ah I should feel offended, but I dont lol

[morganooche]

I wish this was a real song without the talking. The chorus has been stuck in my head for days!

[fairystar26]

This is hilarious... and REALLY offensive if you are from the 90s.  bahahaha.

[ghostwhiskey]

fred telling carrie about portland seems backwards

[jascrystalspike]

carrie is hot.

[ghostwhiskey]

@jascrystalspike so hot

[cristianishere]

So stupid and cheesy that it's rather brilliant. Nice job.

[brir2d24u]

I thought we (people f/PDX) were not that unique. But I lived in the Park Blocks, worked at a coffee shop, did clowning, had my picture taken with an organically grown chicken, my sister has a tattoo and wears glasses and lives in Hawthorn dis., I thought we were all normal. Now we are a novelty in the U.S. of A's eyes? What's normal?

[AndreDeLay]

lame version of "Flight of The Conchords" .... go USA!

[ROBOTNIK28]

@AndreDeLay it's actually not. this isn't a musical comedy. if you've ever watched any episodes of Portlandia, it's actually hilarious.

[bmartin97086]

If only it started to rain about 2 minutes into the video... that would be Portland.

[thefoundation4pi]

Whether you love or hate Portland, you're all taking this shit way too seriously.

[danibean93]

Suck it. Liberal Mania Portland Oregon is a terrible place to live. I would know. I've lived in every part of Portland. Too many hippies and too many liberals. Fuck this place.

[ghostwhiskey]

@danibean93 i live in philly which is equally unbearable but for different reasons

[woggy18]

I miss Portland!  Sure, I don't miss some of the self righteous hipsters or meth heads trying to steal my bike, but late night munchies at the food carts, Pedalpalooza, Santacon, hiking in the Gorge, and beer festivals are pretty kick ass!

[kassidy01]

...now I want to move to portland.

[whatscreenname]

Lived in Portland for close to 2 decades. Don't miss it whatsoever

[jcarey1983]

Its shocking and sad at the same time how completely right this trailer is

[steelhiker]

Hurl. Retch. Splat. Pardon me for getting sick. It must be something I watched.

I do have a question though. If they're saying Portland is so free and accepting, why did the male weirdo make the female weirdo take out all of her faux piercings. Seems a bit discriminatory.

The sad thing is that they didn't get a group of people to practice for this video. They just got everybody off the street the day they filmed this.

[Birbiglebug]

I'm sorely disappointed that they did not choose Austin, TX for the show. Its pretty much exactly like the stuff in the video. except hotter.

[dwalex97209]

@Birbiglebug some may argue that Austin is losing its weirdness (Portland seems to be a bit as well, in all fairness...).

[MissAlissa15]

Proud to be from Portland. 

[Crimble67]

Being from L.A. originally I'd love to send about 10,000 hardened MS-13 gang members to Portland, they could take over the entire city in about a day and a half. There's not a single man in the entire city!

[pimpinthebox5]

way to make portland look gay and stupid, you fucking douchebag. None of the shit in this gay ass video represents portland. You dont know shit about the PDX. if i see your ass in portland you'll be singing a different song.

[ThingsThatReallySuck]

You lying prick. I've LIVED in Portland, so I KNOW it's JUST like this video depicts!

[troybear74]

@pimpinthebox5 If you're taking that video completely serious, then that's your own fault. Of course not all of Portland is like that, but some of it is. I'd rather believe in their vision where everyone seemed happy and getting along, than one with anger and vulgarity like you are representing.

[bmartin97086]

@pimpinthebox5 I live here and I'll tell you the only thing that is missing from the video is the ceaseless rain. I hate this place for all the reasons shown. Sam Adams and Beau Breedlove are the straight side of town (look this reference up if you need to).

[AnAxetoGrind]

Portland is also ranked #1 for child prostitution. There are more pedophiles here than anywhere else in America

Yay, Portland.

[troybear74]

@AnAxetoGrind I think you need to recheck your facts there. The FBI has listed Seattle as the worst with child prostitution for the last three years. Also a 2003 report by the FBI of the 13 States with the highest rate of child prostitution didn't even have Portland on the list. Nice try though.

[mickeysf123]

@troybear74 you realize Portland is a city and not state, right? might explain why the fbi didn't have it on it's list. But thanks for playing!

[ThingsThatReallySuck]

ATTENTION! ATTENTION!!!

Portland is not COMPLETELY filled with nothing but white people! In this video, there is actually ONE QUASI-NEGRO who appears at 1:52 !!!

He is kept locked in a dank basement in Multnomah Village somewhere, but occasionally they do drag him out for public appearances in things like this here video!

[jhansell]

@ThingsThatReallySuck I live in Multnumah Village, and it's too white for even that

[ThingsThatReallySuck]

@jhansell You're damn right.  It's a stuck-up, bitch-ass city.

[ThingsThatReallySuck]

This video is "aight", but if you really want to know what life in Portland is REALLY like, watch "Hipster Olympics" and my own video "Portland, Oregon, Sucks".

[stripped5]

You're also a little San Francisco right now. LOL

[awesomestify]

Fuck Portland. Eugene FTW!

[Infinitehope6]

I didn't know any of this stuff was weird?

[Spindles15]

we're in love with ourselves

[ThingsThatReallySuck]

Damn right you are, you narcissistic dandies!

[ericbagai]

Nineties, schminties. PDX is the sixties.

[AnAxetoGrind]

Portland is also the nations child prostitution capitol. More pedophiles here than anywhere in Oregon.

Yay Portland. 

[ThingsThatReallySuck]

Good point!

[PriscillaRelentless]

@AnAxetoGrind "More pedophiles here than anywhere in Oregon." Of course there is. There's more everything in Portland. It's the only major city in the state. That's kind of a statistical inevitability.

[MassHero]

Don't live in Portland. I reside in Gresham. I take the max up to Portland as often as I can. Dunno about this series though, not yet at least.

[eyesforvolume]

I saw them shooting this at the waterfront, but I still think it's fucking stupid...

[anonybelle]

Hey, I have a septum piercing and stretched earlobes and I've lived in Portland all my adult life. That's the only part of the video I disagree with.

[Collagenre]

@anonybelle I know, right? And you see people decked out like that everywhere in Portland. I don't understand that part of the vid at all.

[henrymccrea]

Portland is chillll. So what if we are still livin' in the 90's? It's a lot better then times right Now. Music wasn't as fake, people were a lot more chill. If someone wants tribal tat's and a man sized tricycle, let them. It's a basically free country. So Take in the Scenery and some Greenery. PDXTRAFLY

[Couchmaster888]

LOL, creativity lives! Thanks for keeping it light!

[SADZTD]

This is hilarious and true. I live here and LOVE it - the video and the city. I see those crazy double-decker bikes at least once a week. If I could sleep until 11am I would, and I'm getting another tribal tattoo next week, MFs!

A cab driver in Vegas told me this joke... "I just got back from Portland - I had to set my watch back 20 years." (Said he heard the joke 30 years ago!). 

[elmatadorwangmachino]

I used to respond to feces-play ads on craigslist from the bearded dude decked in leather and banana hammock some years ago. His shit was so healthy and easy to smear!

[ktbaby077]

wtf.. i dont get it.. the 90s are over

[InsomStudios]

Living the dream here in Portland!

[TheRecyclist]

Reminds me of my fave bumper sticker: "Welcome to Austin. Don't Move Here, Asshole!" Thanks Fred, you rock

[Daverbater]

I've spent a lot of time in Portland and the SF bay area. Portland is cleaner, less crowded, nicer people, more culture and live entertainment.

It pretty much kicks ass.

[25tab]

@Daverbater NOOOOO GODDAMMMIT!!!! WE don't want anymore assholes from other states shitting up our real estate any more!!1 it's a terrible city! Move here and you will get raped, robbed, and your organs will be made into decorative scarves. Give us your money and then go the fuck back to the east coast, california or some other armpit god used to wipe his ass that you're originally from, people! We don't need anymore yuppies, trustfund babies, etc.

[raidensreturn]

@Daverbater THANK YOU... FUCK. I am getting tired of that shit too. You said it best.

[jonypdx]

"Tattoo ink never runs dry" from bear in thong tells more than needs to be told yet yearns to.

[omgDeadbrad]

i live in portland i hate it to many hippies

[cxcmb]

i'll have to say this, aside from how dead on this video is, the sight of carrie brownstein in a velour sweatsuit and uggs is pretty damned funny.

[rrh7]

[brandon71085]

I'm not surprised. We kinda had it coming.

[janejungle503]

Portland's reputation needs no damaging, this is soooo true. Hope there is mention of the unkempt facial hair phenom, B.O. and the awful rain!!!!!!!!!!

[Laughlinify]

Thanks for damaging Portland's reputation.

[cxcmb]

@Laughlinify

reputation? for what? all the (sadly true) things they lambast in this video?

pdx has no difficulty in making itself look stupid. the only things they forgot are all the inbred locals/ white trash meth addicts, junkies, "foodies" laughably 3 years behind nyc, bums and gutterpunks. if anything, they whitewashed this damp, miserable, subpar excuse for a city.

[JDB808]

@cxcmb

I'm sure all of your issues will be addressed in future episodes.

It is a TV show after all.

[hindshight]

@cxcmb

you just made me cry for my hometown.

[omgDeadbrad]

@Laughlinify portland had a shitty reputation anyway....

[ceilidhkay]

uhmm....yes. This is so true!!

[dethveggie]

Brilliant! Can't wait to see this!

[alumba]

I want to live in Portland! Oh wait, I already do!

[thefroh1]

Totally insulting. Go fuck yourself, Fred.

[likabikalot]

Oh god! Its funny because its true. I've been here for 19 years. I love Portland.

[CP06]

this is fantastic

[jcstone44]

hilarious!

[qpon1]

la ins't that green.

[qpon1]

the funny part is the scene of them in la, they are walking down the street in portland.
