Jesse, I think you'll find if someone asks out of curiosity what your trash day happens to be, you will automatically give them this answer.

[@sharonh2991]

That’s one of my favorite lines from this show, I use it all the time. 😂

[@Dr.Quarex]

My mother's 4-page instructions to cat-sitters prove to me that this might be a documentary rather than a sketch.

According to a cousin of mine (born and raised in Texas) who has lived in 4 different cities in Both Washington and Oregon the past 16 years or so, Portlandia is based on more truth than most historical-period piece movies😂😂

Portlandia is such an amazingly uncomfortable show. I love it.

[@seanpolite1706]

Very true. I love Carrie's "hi" and the odd pregnant air before the babysitter speaks. Her warmth next to Fred's suspicious glare at the door is comedy gold.

[@masterrserch3971]

ONE MOORE EPISODE is a great, well... EPISODE lol, but that whole BATTLESTAR GALACTICA thing is soooo much more pertinent now in the world of streaming, and that episode was almost 11 years to the day of this comment (Jan 2022), but the table read, when Edward James Olmos goes 'I NEED YOU IN HERE, YOU HEAR ME? NOW GET OUTTA HERE!--' What?" totally confused and disgusted at the stupidity of that line... Ps--- the funny thing is that BATTLESTAR GALACTICA IS actually an AMAZING show.. I could NOT BELIEVE how hooked I was right away, and how much I loved that show when I FINALLY gave in to everyone telling me its an awesome show and i should watch it.... as a matter of fact, I haven't watched that show in like 15 years, and it ISSSSSS on Peacock, which I have... hmmm... 😆)

[@BenJumpman89]

Why did you bring it up!!?

[@jamesknezetic]

My mom and I have an ongoing inside joke where we often utilize the essence of the 'counter scene gag' from this skit whenever we're telling/showing each other how to do something ... it makes us laugh every time!! 😄🙌🏼

[@amandaconda3941]

I love that ❤️

[@Zeuts85]

Just an observation: I'm pretty sure a comment like yours could only ever come from someone who uses the grammatically correct phrasing "My mom and I". I bet your mom is as much of a grammar Nazi as mine is. 😄

[@reesecup3ify]

Same! Only we reference this skit when explaining the only possible way that a strange facial or head injury could've occurred. Like, recently the baby fell and got a scratch under his nose. When my MIL asked how he could've gotten scratched there my husband and I, thinking the same thing, reenacted the counter scene simultaneously and then we started laughing hysterically. She thought we were crazy 🤣🤣 Even funnier, the baby's name is Bryce and I just realized Fred is called Bryce in this skit!

[@jamesknezetic]

@@reesecup3ify . Hahaha!! 😂 That's hilarious. You and your husband sound like a pretty good-natured 👫🏼couple with a great sense of humor (aka - my kind of people). I'm sure your 🤷🏼‍♀️mother-in-law _did_ think you were crazy, but I'll bet that made it all the funnier (that you two were totally on the same page with the inside🤭joke, despite her reaction). And the fact that your baby 👶🏼son's name is _also_ Bryce is priceless and so ironically appropriate! I'm glad to hear that my mom and I aren't the only ones who enjoy reenacting this assholically🤪comedic and humorously😏cheeky sketch. Thanks for sharing your anecdote with me/us [all]! 🙌🏼

I think I just found the inspo for the funniest part of this skit that I laughed at some many times...that cactus in the eyes kitchen scene. I was just watching Bob Newhart and in Season 5 Episode 19, Howard does something so similar at around 14 minutes in, that I feel nearly sure that Fred saw that at some point and inspired this scene. I guess there's nothing new under the sun lol. Still Fred's version is much funnier.

Its fun to see the different couples Fred & Carrie play. Dave & Kath are the active types, self-serious, compulsive, really annoying. Peter & Nance are a little simple, yet they enjoy each other the most. Bryce & Lisa are stylish accessories to each other's empty existence. Vince & Jacqueline are, simply put, The Weirdos. Which is funny because it implies the other couples are not weird at all.
