Portlandia
Last night I got introduced to this show, and I've already watched over half of the 6-episode first season.
It's a show making fun of or honoring hipster culture, in regards to your own opinion on hipsters. It reminds me a lot of Tim and Eric.
Does anyone else watch this show?
I blew through season one on a random Saturday. It bounced back and forth between total hilarity and complete misses for me. The whole music video thing in the first episode was brilliant, as was the adult hide and seek league sketch. Then again, some of them just fell flat, like the feminazi bookstore sketch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone that is a hipster, or at least knows enough hipsters to understand the jokes. It reminds me of Stuff White People Like more than anything else.
Edit: The above blog is pretty damned funny, but comes with the caveat that it's one of the blogs that WAS hilarious, but then he got book deal and has since decided to never update it again. Also, funnier if you never watch any of his youtube videos, as they make you stop reading the posts as snarky and entertaining, and read them more in the authors actual douche-y tone of voice.
The hit and miss summary fits for me too. I still like it because some of the skits I found to be lough out loud funny. I can't say that about too many other shows.
Yeah, some of the skits didn't nail it for me. But I must say, I loved, "Stop being a stupid bitch, Nance. You're being a stupid bitch."
I told my ex (who introduced me to the show) that that's basically the summary of every conversation he and I have.
