"...but my eyes have adjusted."

That's a brilliant line because it sums up something that subtle and hard to overly lampoon (which is what Portlandia's brilliant at). It's this weird tendency of White People to try way to hard to be okay with things, especially when it's in the name of ethical consumering. That's what they're doing when they tell you about the amaaazing smoothies at the "organic grocer" when it's an old Store 24 with a few shelves and a hippy with an old Kenmore blender.

Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog; you understand it better, but it dies in the process.

Also your explanation is pretty lame.

What are you saying about me?

"How many hipsters does it take to screw in a light-bulb?

It's a pretty obscure number. You probably haven't heard of it."

Every new restaurant in Brooklyn sells "artesian" food to slumming foodies
