For those out there who are fans of the brilliantly droll IFC show Portlandia, as I am, this weekend’s Flavorwire breakdown of the show’s many subcultures will bring a smile of recognition. For those who are unfamiliar with the show—first of all, what the heck are you waiting for? Crank up the Netflix!—this will be a helpful guide for acquainting yourself with the myriad wacky characters inhabited by Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein over the past five years.
Whether they are satirizing obnoxious hipsters, insufferable feminists, artisanal fanatics, or countless other bizarre narcissists, Armisen and Brownstein are almost always spot on with their unusual brand of social commentary. And I can’t wait to see who they poke fun at next season.
