"Whose dog is that with the lips that are falling off".
Laughing like an asshole here. I'm very much looking forward to this show being back.
I thought the first episode of the second season was all right; I did enjoy the restaurant sketch with Kumail ("Would you two like to double down on your meals tonight? That's twice the amount of food for twice the price"), which was Monty Python-ish in its silliness. I always feel that I'm missing a lot whenever I watch this show though, never having been to Portland.
There's never been one joke or reference on this show that I can think of that requires you to have been to Portland to get. Have you been to Austin? Madison? Columbus? Boulder? Brooklyn? Berkeley? If so (or any other college town/progressive environment), you're armed with everything you need to understand this show.
Not really. I've been to San Francisco, but that was only for Sketchfest a couple of years ago. I get the basic jokes of stuff like the feminist bookstore owners and the "Pickle it!" sketch, but I always feel like if I lived in or had been to Portland I'd probably appreciate the show on another level.
I had higher hopes for the season premier. That "we can pickle that", I just can't pull words together to convey how annoying and such a let down that was for an opener.
But I did laugh pretty hard at a few things through the episode. Them getting out of the cab in LA and being hurt by the sun made me laugh very very hard.
I loved it and I thought it was great and also very funny!

Every season needs to have a sketch with Kumail playing the cluelessly dickish employee. The "Around the World in 80 Plates" sketch was definitely the best of a great episode, and his turn in the "Mayor Is Missing" episode as the cell phone store guy was a major stand out of the first season.
What I'm saying is YAY KUMAIL! and I love this show.
so "we can pickle that" is just "put a bird on it" for this season right?
I always enjoy this show, but feel it could be a lot better. For me it peaked with Aliki's death scene in the first episode.
That said, I enjoyed this most recent episode more than the second half of last season.

Agree on Kumail's appearances. I think his sketch in "The Mayor is Missing" is my favorite from the series and this last one was the highlight of the first episode.
God, you're being such a dumb bitch right now.Quote:

I already like the first two episodes of season 2 more than all of season 1 combined.
There really weren't any great sketches this week. Disappointing since last week was probably my favorite episode of the season and up there with The Mayor is Missing as a favorite of the series. I think the problem was they've been trying to lean more on the main stories throughout and I just didn't care for the Grover story.
Been liking the new episodes
I've really love the new season, but I did not like the opening sketch/re-do of the "Dream of the 90's" from this week (Dream of the 1890's). I'm guessing it's because I love the first one so much. Last season's was a perfect way to open the first episode and set a perfect tone for the entire series. That was always the clip I played for people who hadn't seen the show, a perfect set piece. Also, I got a quick pang of dread of "Oh no, they're going to start redoing sketches/jokes like SNL".
This year began with "We Can Pickle That" which I thought was a simple rehash of "We Put Birds On Things." The folks staking out the dog park is no different--and no funnier--than the folks staking out a spot at the outdoor movie. "Do you know..." is just "Did you read..." And none heightened the former. Those are your repeats, not the 1890s number. This is not a gripe about the show, don't get me wrong. The Battlestar Galactica thing, and the Mixologist and the PTA parents arguing over the music in the school I mean holy crap those all were brilliant.Quote:

It's meta humor in a show that's only 10 episodes old. Because it's so freaking good it can get away with it. As soon as the sketch starts your'e thinking "wait, they're repeating themselves..." and in a show that kind of has repeated itself amid the other great original stuff this year, it's a very very smart play. I think the placement of it more than halfway through the season instead of leading the season off with it alone, as just an editing or placement choice, is incredibly smart. I'm still laughing about it a few days later. Esp. the line about people riding uncomfortable gearless bikes that hurt their back.
I thought the dream of the 1890s was one of the most brilliant things I've ever seen.Quote:

My roommate attempting to understand the Dr. Caligari sketch:
"So like...this mailman character is gay or something?"
Guys I'm still laughing at "aaayooo riiiivEEERR!"
I stared at that gif for at least five minutes today. So genius.
I had lunch with Fred Armisen recently. I recorded our conversation, and now it's a podcast, and here you go:

(FYI: Hardly any gross food-eating sounds!)
Last night's episode was my favorite of the season so far! Every sketch had me cracking up. Not to mention Joanna Newsom making a cameo. She wants you to watch it ASAP.
Joanna Newsom's ass.
Joanna Newsom's ass.
Dude.
Joanna Newsom's ass.
great
Jogging around the Silver Lake Reservoir today I saw a pack of bikes with trailers loaded with fucking furniture. Honestly people of my generation, and slightly younger, if it is already a sketch on Portlandia you may want to stop what you're doing.
Try not to speak crassly about it. It has a lot of class.Quote:

I really enjoyed the season finale, it reminded me of the half-hour episodes of Monty Python like "The Cycling Tour" where the entire show was one long sketch. Anyway, Bill Oakley tweeted that there will be a one-hour Portlandia special in July that will be an extended director's cut of this episode.
Hopefully it's full of subversive digs at directors cuts of things like a sketch show where the creators already have creative freedom and don't need to compromise what they're doing to cater to commercial tastes. That would be super, I dunno....Portland?Quote:
