A great example of what I liked and didn’t like about that show. It starts with a good joke and it’s hilarious, and then they push that joke for another 20 minutes into utter absurdity, and not the good kind.

Not a local, I assume, then? How cute.

Are you sure you want the tea?

It was only part of the problem, but largely was responsible for the tap-on-the-glass tourism that predated the pandemic and attracted an inordinate volume of mindless attention to various areas referenced in the show and said visitors seemingly expecting the skits to be reenacted or discovered impromptu for their entertainment.
That’s not even getting into how the extras were shafted overall. Many of the locals seen in the opening sequence soon found that the group they’d been led to believe were making something out of a personal love for the city & people in it was actually just another money grab at their own expense.
Fuck Portlandia, but specifically Fred Armisen. That man is a smeg tart on a hot day.
