I happen to think that the show could have just as easily be Seattlelandia, Eugenelandia, Santa Cruzlandia, etc. It's a great show, just that it could almost be franchised around the country to other towns that have similar obsessions and dull, subdued excitement. I'd love to work on this shows crew as a grip, but it's UNION. What's up with that?!
Abdul Basit Yes, because it's shot in Portland, hence the name. If you showed episodes of it to people in many other cities & college towns, but left out the detail that is is specifically Portland, you find that many would say... "Oh, this show is sooo Austin! It's sooo Cambridge... etc." I should know..I worked on a TV series that was supposed to be in Alaska, but it was filmed, ironically, in the Seattle area. LOlaughs.
Abdul Basit Yes, I know. I'm developing a Seattle themed show called Fremont Troll, locals know what I mean. ha-ha. Personally I thin k we need more shows about nowhere places, like the town where The Office is, or Northern Exposure, or Prairie Home Companion. Portlandia is a physical hallucination.
Actually the real pros always make it look "effortless". It's actually hard work and the two of them earn their pesos every day. Try working an 18-hour day, then trying to co-write new sketches the next morning after a 4-hour nap. Ugh. If they had a tip jar I'd give them each $2!
True story: I driving a bunch of people in a car and someone said, "The Ramones aren't that good, all of their songs sound the same." I switched the music on my Ipod immediately to The Ramones and I played every song I had for the next 3 hours.
Although this video is about Portlandia, I wish to resurrect this comment from 6 years ago to ask, what are your current top 3 Ramones songs? I’m saying “She’s the One,” “Today You’re Love, Tomorrow the World,” and the the version of “Havana Affair” off of Alive.
Ramones, like the noodle soup? I thought that was changed to pho as the new hipster cheap carb meal. I guess I should get out more often. I heard that there are over 140 Starbucks coffee places in America. Typical, you start "liking" some coffee on FB and they grow into a giants monster. 140 cafes? Are there even enough people that actually like coffee enough to support that many of their cafes? Burnt coffee served with fluffy milk. I don't get it.
Actually, I'm not a fan of Godard either. I enjoyed Breathless, but got a headache watching Alphaville. Wait. You like PBR? Um... I gotta go stand over there for a while.
It is meant to be a joke, since in 1898, the name Ramone has been banned city-wide. Apparently, Judy Ramone, a silverminer from Missoula, killed the sherriff in a pretty nasty Montana kind of nightmare. Judged, hanged, quartered, and dispatched over the four corners of the state, Ramone and/or Ramones, is illegal to say. Look it up, its crazy american history.
I feel like it's a kind of forced stereotype that people like to indulge because it gives them a sense of belonging. Like, there's a New Yorker stereotype, and an LA stereotype, and a Boston stereotype. This Portlandia thing, that's just a bunch of people nervously shouting "Yeah well, people from where I'm from act a certain way, too!" When they really don't, at all. It's the hipster's blue collar comedy tour.
Thomas Hoerauf I can see what your saying but the show is obviously exaggerating the fuck out of how it is. I'm originally from just south of Portland, but I've moved all over the country and am finally back and Portland is definitely its own world. It's not drastically different, but enough that it has its own feel. Do people who live here take it was to seriously? Yes, and it's annoying but its still better than Phoenix.
***** . I will second Thomas' comment, since being from PTown, i too see how it misses the mark. You can tell they are not really from Portland, or they'd sell the lines better. For me.
gogogodancer Carrie was born in Seatle, and they both live in Portland... Just saying. Almost all comedy is some form of caricature, I'm from Minnesota and it's not like it is in Fargo, but being from here you can definitely see the little bits and pieces of reality that were the basis of the exaggeration.
I cant stand the advertisement at the beginning of this vid. It is also on other vids and I wont them. It is much to metrosexual for me. In the name of all thats sacred, please make the madness stop. I dislike having to turn down the watching of vids because this is a mandatory precursor. And no, just turning down the volumnis not an option. It waste time waiting. Thanks for listening team CoCo.
Try again when you're sober. Either that or stop typing with your feet. And realize that ads are how "Team CoCo" gets a paycheck. Do you work for free? (PS There was no ad when I watched it. I know some can be horrifically offending. So I do have some sympathy for you.)
How much longer before people stop leaving comments like this? Adblock Plus, my friend. Literally no bullshit. I'm not a shill for them. Just a nobody. I'm giving you solid advice: get Adblock Plus, and you won't see another internet ad ever.
***** This is one of the ads that doesnt have a skip option. -Strange that the new identity status symbol for today is that one doesnt watch youtube ads. #petty
arf15beagle You are right. I should have had my magical youtube hat on that gives me all knowledge of things I couldnt possibly have known about afore hand. I just dont know whats wrong with me.
I've spent enough time in Portland to realize that Portlandia isn't a parody.
Hipster beard checks out.
Starting with your beard.
So like a few hours
"Portland gets 364 days of rain." That is such an exaggeration. We get at LEAST thirty days of almost-sunshine every year.
so around 10 months of rain
That moon! They put a bird on it!
Carrie is so incredibly HOT !!! Love this.
So glad I was born in Portland but I think its getting a little too mainstream

there's a reason we call it portlandia
Abdul Basit Yes, because it's shot in Portland, hence the name. If you showed episodes of it to people in many other cities & college towns, but left out the detail that is is specifically Portland, you find that many would say... "Oh, this show is sooo Austin!

no portlandia is a goddess who we have a statue hence the shows name
Abdul Basit Yes, I know. I'm developing a Seattle themed show called Fremont Troll, locals know what I mean. ha-ha. Personally I thin k we need more shows about nowhere places, like the town where The Office is, or Northern Exposure, or Prairie Home Companion. Portlandia is a physical hallucination.
we can pickle that.
finished portlandia about a week ago ,loved it!
Fred+Carrie=EffortlessBrilliance

Did they put a bird on the moon? :D
No it's just you
They are brilliant
Oregon represent
been following carrie since sleater-kinney :) love portlandia
Put a bird on it!
I love Carrie
True story: I driving a bunch of people in a car and someone said, "The Ramones aren't that good, all of their songs sound the same." I switched the music on my Ipod immediately to The Ramones and I played every song I had for the next 3 hours.

Portlandia is the reason I plan on moving to Oregon.
If you move there, please buy celery when you do your shopping. Thanks!
im acc in love with carrie brownstein...
I love them
Conversation stopper in Portland: im a republican.
omg they put a bird on the moon lol
Conversation stopper: “Hi, I’m Andy Ngo”
I live in Oregon my whole life but people make fun of how Portland people are so weird but its true
37 people don't know who the Ramones are.
If anybody doesn't know The Ramones, they should just stop doing fun things entirely.
Ramones, like the noodle soup? I thought that was changed to pho as the new hipster cheap carb meal. I guess I should get out more often. I heard that there are over 140 Starbucks coffee places in America. Typical, you start "liking" some coffee on FB and they grow into a giants monster. 140 cafes?

Hunter Mann He meant the Rayman -game franchise.
There are actually 11,457 Starbucks in the US and about 20,000 worldwide.
agreed
1:26 Chester Runk lmao
Seriously, who doesn't know who the Ramones are? Don't answer that.
I'll be disappointed if someone didn't know who the Ramones are.
I don't, but I don't pay attention to any genre of music since I only listen to film scores/soundtracks.
Now that's cool
the word 'kakow' came from Adam Reed's "Frisky Dingo"
hipsters dont know who the ramones are either they just wear the t-shirts lol
I know who they are but I don't wear their tshirts.
I know who they are AND I wear their t-shirts lol
Starter: Boy, I sure do love Pabst Blue Ribbon!
Stopper: Yeah...not a big fan of Jean Luc Godard's films.
Actually, I'm not a fan of Godard either. I enjoyed Breathless, but got a headache watching Alphaville.
Wait. You like PBR?
Um... I gotta go stand over there for a while.
haha...I was being facetious.
I don't like PBR at all, but it seems to be the drink of choice for many Portland natives.
Heineken? Fuck that shit, Pabst Blue Ribbon!
Man I miss Sleater-Kinney
Sleater-kinney!
Couldn't help but think this was a skit on Portlandia.
Their best episode was the one with Joanna Newsom :3
My personal fave was with Aimee Mann as the housemaid.
a giant bird on a giant moon...
i actually don't know who the ramones are

Who are "the Ramones?"
damn, Carrie looks hot
Put a bird on it
The bird needs to go
Being from Portland, the Portlandia humor really misses it's mark for me.
It's funny, because I often hear, "Being from Portland, I get Portlandia's humor in a way you can't."
I feel like it's a kind of forced stereotype that people like to indulge because it gives them a sense of belonging. Like, there's a New Yorker stereotype, and an LA stereotype, and a Boston stereotype. This Portlandia thing, that's just a bunch of people nervously shouting "Yeah well, people from where I'm from act a certain way, too!" When they really don't, at all.

i dont know who the ramones are
This is so annoying...
