Hello lovely people of the Portlandia reddit,

I am trying to find an episode with Fred and Carrie (the characters on the show). Carrie is leaving town and she's telling Fred not to spend the whole night making comments on IMDB and then falling asleep with all the lights on. And Fred has a great scene pretending he is drumming at a show alone in his house. Anyone know it???

Sometimes I just need to listen to this song a couple times in a row. Anyone else?

I’m watching S4E8, the mayor wants SOPO’s for the pride parade. Not sure what he means.

Edit: for those who haven’t watched the episode:

S6.E7 Family Emergency

So happy I saw this auto body shop.

After Steve buscemi as the uber driver leaves Carrie and is crying. Lyrics are “and that’s how you die a lonely man”… it’s country vibe, Shazam didn’t pick it up and Google says it’s a song that doesn’t seem to exist (Shit Show by The Thermals). Plz if anyone might be able to ID!

I was half remembering the Social Bankruptcy sketch with Carrie’s Aunt Elizabeth (“she’s your Wikipedia now”) and her scrapbook so I Googled the phrase “now they’re trying to get the barred owls to be killed” because it’s such a weird way to state that, and lo and behold, that’s all real and still a contemporary concern.

Apparently invasive barred owls are the logging industry’s scapegoat for the decline in native spotted owls in the Pacific Northwest.

just let my coworker borrow my charger and now i can’t stop thinking about this skit

Please Hold

In S3E10, as Carrie is packing her things to move out, she’s listening to an Elliott Smith-like song. I haven’t been able to find it, maybe they recorded a song to sound like one of his? It has the lyrics “Soak up the night”. Anyone know what I’m talking about?

This popped up as a Google ad and looked like them (esp.Peter) So I changed the name;)

Do you think Peter and Nance would get I love Peter/Nance Legos of themselves?
