Seattle Wa has a downtown theater, AMC that you go up 5-6 escalators to reach. I'm from Orlando Florida & we do not have theaters like that. A few are 1, 2 floors up that's it.
Portland Pioneer Place, I used to work here!!! And yes, the movie theater is on the upper floor, it's not as long complex as this episode...HOWEVER, there was an AMC Van Ness in San Francisco that literally had multi-levels and tons of escalators and ticket takers on every level back in the day that this is more like parodying.
SarahGee Are you serious?!? I thought this was some surreal, conceptual bit. It's amazing to me that I saw 'A Clockwork Orange' when it opened in Boston at the very first multiplex I had ever been to -- the idea of multiple screens in one theater was an entirely new phenomenon.
@@TheOn3LeftBehind the theater is in the mall. But the only way for most customers to get there is to ride a whole lot of stories up on escalators that are like out in the open. So you're looking down all the way to the first floor the whole way up. It's called Regal Pioneer Place
Similar experience at SM Mega Mall in Manila, Philippines... Some of the theaters were located in different entire wings of the mall, including different floors, and even going outside to go back inside. Concessions were also all over and they didn't have all of the same offerings. It was always an adventure for sure 😆
I don't know about Portland but the VanNess AMC in San Francisco really is like this; you have to go up a ton of escalators to get to the theaters and they always put the new movies on the very top floor. But the up escalators are on opposite sides of the floors, so you go up, walk around to the other side of the floor and take the next one up and repeat over and over again.
haha AMC Dundas Square in Toronto is like that. the whole escalator routine is so monotonous most people just keep going all the way to the top, and then realize they have to go back down.
I’ve seen probably 100 movies in this exact theater in the Pioneer Mall. It’s true, the longest escalator ride ever!! The elevators are always full of moms with strollers.
I was just thinking of the VanNess when I saw this! Plus when I went to see Midnight In Paris for a late showing there was practically no one in the building. Spooky (especially after walking through the Tenderloin).
Honestly I used to live in vancoover ca. And there was a place like this ha 4 levels and a person to check like everywhere it was sprta funny but this is ligit a think.....well they took it to the.....next level.. get it he he.
wow they really blew that out of proportion first of all you can skip the entire escalator stage with the regal fast pass PD-Xpedite membership: locals can skip lines made entirely of out of towners. Second, that particular theater has their self-serve kiosk on the same floor as their theaters, so carrie and fred wouldn't've bought their ticket AND THEN gone on a dozen escalators, they would have rode 9 escalators THEN bought their ticket. Third, regal employees can ONLY rip but are not authorized to validate, only designated pioneer place employees hold that title, which is earned in a battle royale style tournament every 3rd month in the shanghai tunnels. jeez does anyone do research anymore
"We're not going on a plane..."
"You're going to see a documentary?"
"Yeah."
"Similar."
😂
You're almost close.
“Escalators. Who makes them and where are they taking us” LOL
0:39 "are you two re.... disabled?" HAHAHAHHA
You're almost close - that's going in the one-liner arsenal
Great for passing hikers on their way up while you're heading down
But Portland has a specific mall that this is parodying and that this was filmed in. You buy tickets like 5 floors below the theatre for some reason.

@@DavidLLambertmobile there's a AMC theater in Arlington texas in a mall that takes 3 floors to reach
There are plenty of theatres in NYC and Chicago like this
Hmm.. did any of these places have other theaters nearby, and if so, did any of them close, and if so, why?
@@annabella1250 toronto too
"You guys are almost close."
'You're the ripper' lol. Fred's expression is hilarious
Do you need glasses? "Yes" lol

"what i miss?
er.. well...
Shh! it's a movie theater"
I don't know about Portland but the VanNess AMC in San Francisco really is like this; you have to go up a ton of escalators to get to the theaters and they always put the new movies on the very top floor.
But the up escalators are on opposite sides of the floors, so you go up, walk around to the other side of the floor and take the next one up and repeat over and over again.
That's a stupid design
What the fuck are you on about?
When did they build that?
@@eightosaurusspelunk1598 literally word for word what came to my mind
haha AMC Dundas Square in Toronto is like that. the whole escalator routine is so monotonous most people just keep going all the way to the top, and then realize they have to go back down.
That dude is hilarious.
You guys are almost close lmao.
How do you have that many theaters in here? Well we have more up there. Ohh.
filterguy2525 I laughed at that! They are so deadpan.
I’ve seen probably 100 movies in this exact theater in the Pioneer Mall. It’s true, the longest escalator ride ever!! The elevators are always full of moms with strollers.
I don't know why but Carrie looks so cute in that wig! 😍
Because she reminds you of the hoy goth weirdo skits lol
carrie always be lookin cute
Andrew Dhulst...Funniest man in show business son chip!!!
Carrie winked at us in the last second.
I love the old school random vibes
That other guy is hilarious and has perfect comedic timing. What’s his name?
Andrew Dhulst
“We’re not going on a plane” LMAOOO

I was born and raised still live in Portland. That story is true.:)
Do you mean the story you just told, or the story in the video?
I love this show.
These two are just *TOO* spot on
loool, reminds me of Cineworld Glasgow.
My thoughts too
Aye but at what cost?
how the fuck, surely there are so many cineplexes like that in the world but thats the one ive gone to and thought of too lol
This is how it is at showcase in randolph massachusetts except it goes down like 5 fkn floors.
"You're almost close..." 🤣
Back in the 1970s we went to movie theaters with a pillow. That's the way we did it in Portland OR any ways... Back in the 1970s... IMHO
Whose the actor playing all the ushers? He's hilarious.
Lynn Turman napoleon dynamite
1. Napoleon Dynamite is played by Jon Heder
2. This actors name is Andrew Dhulst
3. Who the fuck is Lynn Turman?
😂😂😂
from what I hear, lynn turman is a bit of a douche.
Isn't she that chick that went to jail for that home pap smear clinic she was running in her basement.
Lynn Turman is the escalator
i loved this sssoooooo much
this series is *fooken MAD*
Love Portlandia.
Reminds me of the Event complex in Auckland, so depressing
That ticket guy is fantastic
Purgatory for movie critics.
This looks like AMC Pacific Place in Seattle.
There is a movie theater 🎟 like this in Seattle Wa. You go up like 6 floors. The escalators are in the center of the mall.
OMFG this was sooo funny, insanely funny.
Spokane, Washington has a similar layout! You just keep going up
me at work everyday haha
I have been to that mall before evelsteev it is in Portland.
Man, that other actor was hilarious!
“You guys are almost close...”
Very surreal
"they don't let me yet"
"..yet?"
that was awesome
So how are the beats coming along it's been 5 years?
hhaaha this is funny to see because im in this mall allll the time!
This sketch gave me the weirdest dream
How do you have that many theaters in here?
Ring a bell for any fellow Manhattanites who found their nearest theater to be Times Square?
LOVE.
NYC theaters are like this.
Is that Kurt Vonnegut?
Honestly I used to live in vancoover ca. And there was a place like this ha 4 levels and a person to check like everywhere it was sprta funny but this is ligit a think.....well they took it to the.....next level.. get it he he.
Hey! Thats the theater I go to!
Is that Pioneer Square mall?
the escalator movie reminds me of willam dafoe standing on the escalator in the mr bean movie
almost close haha
I've been in that shopping center/mall/where is the bathroom at its confusing as hell.oh wait its a movie place.
Anyone know the actor playing the the theatre worker?
Feels almost like a Heavens Gate reference.
I want to see this documentary
Fred looks like John Holmes.
I have prosopagnosia so I genuinely can't tell if the employees are all the same actor in different wigs.
I've been here I've had the hardest time getting in haha. Hard to access theater.
...and where are they taking us?"
how do these two know so much about portland anyway?
Same guy everywhere
Because there is an elevator for employees :)
I can't with all his hairdos...
Where is the Lord mayor Kyle?
Lol you are almost close
Swear i thought he was smelling them
you’re almost close
Chicago Clark st lol....
I want a wig for a good laugh 🌳🌳🌳🌳🤡🤡🤡🤡🍻🍻🍻
Almost close
😂 what I miss 🤫 it’s a 🎥 🎭
You need to use the drive in to see movies, since the corona started killing people. Or order your movie online. Like food.
Hahaha😂
Still not as bad as the cacao skit.
What the hell would you do if there was a fire??? You need to find a new movie theatre.
Hubers Farm
Very meta.
Lol
This was funny, but exaggerated. The movies are on the fifth floor. The other floors are shops. Tickets are bought on the fifth floor.
That's why it's called comedy. Comedy tends to take real situations and exaggerate them.
Oh no the problems
So art is a thing
But how do I art
I feel sick b
Everyone in the sketch just annoys the shit out of me. Bravo 👏

Armisen gives me angry, anxiety fuelled laughter. Their presentation of woke ideology is accurate comic genius. 🤣✌️❤️
you realize they would probably hate you, right?
@@patpat8727
Yes. I should just kill myself . Nobody likes me.😞
Not funny. Not even Portlandish. This could be any city.
evelsteev it really couldn't
that’s literally pioneer place but sure it could be any city
