Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

we don't have those, but if the caricature is even partially true, that's pretty funny.....

Seriously? I thought every city had them?

Portlandia is funny as hell, though. You should check out the other clips - the satire on the 'culture' is hilariously awesome.

I think the reason why Portlandia is so funny is that so many people can identify (in some way...some more than others) with the characters and the setting.

I live in Richmond VA, and Portlandia reminds me very much of certain parts (both geographical and cultural) of Richmond.

PS: Am I the only one who thinks the female co-star is hot in her own strange way. Like really hot. Especially with the long hair (one of the militant-feminist characters).

Yeah, that's how I found it.

And yes, the female co-star is a babe.

The show was good for a while but it's gotten too out of hand IMO. The part with the asians was the best for sure.

Yeah, I think 1 maybe two short seasons would be enough. I believe that shows should end while they are on top as opposed to running themselves into the ground and literally jumping the shark.


Jumping the shark is an idiom used to describe the moment in the evolution of a television show when it begins a decline in quality that is beyond recovery. It is synonymous with the phrase, "the beginning of the end." It also means and/or is often signified by a particular scene/episode/aspect of a show in which the writers use some type of "gimmick" in a desperate attempt to keep viewers' interest.

So...this pretty much makes your post a bs stereotypical, knee-jerk, snarky reaction to something that you've never seen before....right?

Riiiiiight.
