So many show bashers just flat out don't get it


The show is 100% about MAKING FUN of douche bag hipsters and yups who absolutely deserve to be made fun of. Nothing more nothing less. It's a great premise to a show IMO.

Absolutely right. They are mocking everyone: people with allergies, people who warn you about tv spoilers, foodies. It is all about being snarky, it is not real!

Some people get this brand of humor, some people don't. Everyone has a different sense of the humorous.

I think the same people who don't get this show are the same people who don't get It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is a parody/satire of upper middle class WASPs acting *beep* to each other and everybody else.

"Always Sunny" isn't about WASPs - All of the main characters are Irish Catholic heritage. It's basically Seinfeld with Irish Americans instead of Jewish Americans.

I can't watch too much Portlandia because almost all of Carrie and Fred's characters are douchebags and so it's hard for me to be invested in the show. For me, Portlandia is like a good SNL sketch that kept on going to the point of no return.

reply

It's not everybody's thing, but I can relate because I've had to deal with these types of douchebags when I worked at art stores in LA.

reply

i get it. especially on weekends.

The awkward moment when you don't get it either if you think the show is about making fun of other people...

One of the funniest comedy shows ever made.
