You can't take yourself too seriously. This show perfectly lampoons the urban, green lifestyle. And more importantly, the utopia many aspire to: Portland.

Created and starring Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live) and Carrie Brownstein, (the very rocking Sleater-Kinney), there are so many hilarious sketches that hit close to home. A waitress tells them the chicken they're about to eat, Collin, "is a heritage breed, woodland-raised chicken that's been fed a diet of sheep's milk, soy, and hazelnuts." Before they even order, they look over Collin's dossier and ask if he was allowed to frolic with friends. They drive 30 miles to see the farm where Collin was raised.



My favorite is bicycle rights, where Armisen as a bike messenger on his way to a vegan piercing workshop blows a whistle at drivers. Cars man.

The dream of the '90s is alive in Porrrrtlaaand. I love this show and I don't care if I'm a little Portlandia.

I'm curious: How could we poke fun at Spokane idiosyncrasies?
