No thread?

Hipsters making fun of hipsters is actually pretty funny.

Portlandia is so over

1/7/2012 2:22:25 PM

continuing to like things that become popular is the new hating things once they become popular.

1/7/2012 3:09:53 PM

its on netflix instant, may get around to watching it

1/7/2012 3:38:33 PM

I've watched the Dream of the 90's video probably 20 times and I still laugh insanely hard at it

1/7/2012 3:41:14 PM

Grumpy Grumpire.

If you were a member of a highly respected rock band that formed more than fifteen years ago, can you still be a hipster?

1/7/2012 5:35:50 PM

Typical hipster question.

1/7/2012 6:12:16 PM

This is what "In Bloom" is about.

unfortunately for sleater-kinney, their largest exposure to audiences was probably opening for pearl jam, which is something kings of leon also did

also

best theme song currently on television

1/7/2012 8:25:04 PM

only on episode 2 but im loving this show so far

1/7/2012 8:39:49 PM

^^^ You're probably right about it being their largest exposure, but they made their first splash in 1996, nearly ten years before that PJ tour, and made very well-regarded records all through the intervening years. They weren't some band that snagged one cherry gig and will be never be more than a footnote.

1/7/2012 9:18:53 PM

What a terrible tangent.

1/7/2012 10:11:43 PM

A tangent that's directly related to the star of the show this thread is about?

PUT A BIRD ON IT

1/8/2012 10:05:10 PM

S02 E02 was better than pretty much all of season 1.

1/8/2012 10:14:10 PM

almost posted asking where to watch season 2 episodes for free before checking ifc.com

1/8/2012 10:59:54 PM

We can pickle it!

1/8/2012 11:09:11 PM

I watched the first three episodes this weekend. Not bad but not that great either. If its the same recurring sketches/characters the entire time, I can see it getting old. The bike rights guy was probably my favorite one so far.

I do like the theme song though.

1/9/2012 12:25:07 PM

sooooooooo freaking funny!

1/9/2012 12:27:12 PM

^The eddie vedder sketch in that episode was amazing too

1/9/2012 3:19:27 PM

Portlandia tour coming to Durham (Carolina Theatre) February 22nd

I can think of at least one dude who is going to be stoked at the chance to see Carrie Brownstein in person

1/11/2012 1:10:49 PM

Met her three times. Still haven't shown her my S-K tattoo. Probably won't. Probably shouldn't.

1/11/2012 1:46:16 PM

you could just show it to Fred

1/11/2012 1:57:15 PM

At least it's not an Ani DiFranco tattoo

1/11/2012 3:29:45 PM

Haha. Watching the dumpster diving skit and it reminded me of message_topic.aspx?topic=622518.

1/16/2012 11:20:38 PM

I guess God really is a DJ, as the old song said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02BUCVBHSKw

and as the not-so-old song said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuvF7HF_kLM

1/16/2012 11:55:04 PM

Stay cool

1990s > 1890s

2/4/2012 12:56:24 PM

I am getting very stressed out that the head of our school doesn't know about NEU!

2/4/2012 2:45:45 PM

That "little guy" sketch was really, really terrible.

2/4/2012 3:54:51 PM

Have to admit, this was well done.

god damnit.

i somehow missed this and now it's sold out.

2/5/2012 3:38:46 PM

The sketches with the Indian guy may be my favorites. Fred's annoyed attitude is terrific.

I think my favorite sketch of S2 so far is Bad Art, Good Walls.

2/23/2012 2:34:58 PM

I'm not Brian Wilson, but I did sleep at an Outlet Hotel last night.

Also, pasta addiction is a horrible disease.

I know who sleater-kenny is and i don't even listen to that kind of lesbo rock

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

12/15/2012 8:54:49 AM

My older sister has loved to listen to "that kind of lesbo rock" since her teenage years and yet is straight; I also had an appreciation for it, never once yelling at her to turn it down, and wellll~♥

[Edited on December 15, 2012 at 11:59 AM. Reason : She eagerly looked through the Kill Rock Stars catalog.

12/15/2012 11:59:13 AM

AHA, pasta had me lolling.

12/15/2012 10:04:37 PM

I LOVED dream of the 90s, and I tried really hard to get into the show after that. But it's kind of awful.

I agree. The song is good, but the show isn't funny.

12/17/2012 5:32:38 PM

bunch a knerds itt

1/19/2013 2:46:07 AM

^^,^^^ Agreed completely. I tried to watch the first episode the other day and really liked the opening bit, but once the show started I realized it was completely unwatchable. I assume that the people that say they like this shit are doing it to be ironic or something.

1/19/2013 8:07:55 AM

there are a lot of bad skits mixed in with several good skits. The 3rd season has been very disappointing so far but there was a lot I enjoyed in the first 2 seasons.

1/19/2013 11:06:35 AM

it's hit or miss.


but the Around the World in 80 plates skit was hilarious.

[Edited on January 19, 2013 at 11:11 AM. Reason : .]

1/19/2013 11:11:33 AM

I enjoy this show

1/19/2013 3:46:28 PM

tonights ep gets a 10/10

hilarious and beautifully shot
