    Portlandia



    surprised i didn't see a thread for this IFC show yet? they do a great job skewering hipsters. the first season is just a short 6 episodes long, but they've been signed up for an 11 episode season 2.

    Watched the first season and loved it.

    As someone who most would describe as a hipster, I'm even more sure that I don't exist in a hipster "state of mind".

        I'm from Austin. These two cities, aside from weather, are eerily similar in mindset to a degree.

          My sister and soon to be brother-in-law live in Portland and have been trying to get me to watch this show.

          Thing is, I'm not a hipster nor do I care about that lifestyle whatsoever and I'm not from Portland so I really don't give a shit about the show nor do I find it funny or entertaining.

              but that's the thing, it's actually funnier if you aren't a hipster, cause they skewer them so perfectly

                But there's nothing about them that is funny to me. They bore me.

                  S02E02 is up for free preview on IFC and Hulu.

                  Pretty awesome episode. Eddie Vedder, Doctor Who, and Edward James Olmos make funny cameos.

                          All that said, I thought silicon valley was pretty damn funny but maybe it's because I live here so I kinda get it.

                            Silicon valleys first few and last few eps were hysterical. I may try Portlandia again but it seemed reeaaally slow and dry when I watched. I loved Fred Armisen on SNL.
                            Best reason to have a license.

                              I just found it odd that our situation was damn near identical. It was a drunk post. I could have sworn I bolded the changes.
