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.

Quote:

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.
