Portlandia: Street Names Meeting

[@NicE-jq3wv]

The black man's side eye when she touches his arm while suggesting MLK street. I died!! 😂

[@sstills951]

Well that's the eye that the far left needs to see sometimes.

[@brianmcg321]

Lol. Yep.

[@Fullyautomagic]

It’s person of darkness. Racist.

kugupu was an essential part of my childhood and its time they get some recognition

[@48956l]

I like how he says “there’s one episode” as if kugupu is like a show or something lol

[@sexobscura]

it is a way-of-life

[@InformationPollution]

There's an episode where someone looks at their DVR and you see they have lots of episodes of Kugupu saved!

[@Ringcaat]

it's like how in one episode their project shifts inexplicably from creating a baseball team to creating a cartoon about baseball.

[@randomuser1105]

[@sexobscura]

are you going to hog the floor the whole night

[@superzack247]

The line where he suggests keeping the name as is but putting Northeast 14th Street in parentheses is honestly one of the funniest lines of the show

[@davewhite6246]

I feel like Carrie almost broke on that line.

[@Jeff-kz5kl]

I agree! And Carrie trying not to laugh is the icing on the cake!

[@Sethgolas]

They redid the intersection I'm on, and even though it's 62nd Ave, they wrote 63rd St. in the concrete. For "historical reasons"?

[@johncoryell]

I like how supportive Carrie is

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

I was appreciating the same thing.

[@brianmcg321]

Atlanta: let’s just name everything after peaches. Everyone: approved.

[@rinwesley3092]

[@tonystyles4040]

The person had to be dead for at least 5 years, yet the lady correcting Fred’s character suggested Steve Jobs... and he had only been dead for a year at the time of this episode being released.

[@allwrighty100]

Nice catch

[@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music]

We don't know how long he had been dead before they found him.

[@wetstinkysocks2950]

Well its probably because she a traditionalist lol

[@virg0_lem0nade]

thank you so fuckin much for uploading this, all i could remember from this sketch was the word “kugupu” and i couldnt find it anywhere 😂😂😂😂

[@gregvassilakos]

I checked Google Maps. Portland has a Beverly Cleary School and a Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden, but there is not yet a Beverly Cleary Street. Perhaps this is because she has not yet been dead the required period of time. Of course, Portland already has a Ramona Street, so perhaps the street name criteria stated in the video is not correct.

[@andraste6746]

I love that you checked 🤣

[@aroundandround]

@2:14 Black councilor suddenly becomes a little child saying “I don’t like Kugupu”.

Too many meetings are really like this.

[@MOUNTAINEER1976]

Kugupu: "Actually, I am."

[@nicholasleemarks]

1:57 and then 2:21 Subtle and brilliant

[@tomitstube]

almost as bad as florida... in one county it isn't unusual for the same road to have 5 or 6 different names. every little town or city renames it as it goes thru their town, and it isn't like there's any separation between the towns, come to a stop light and the street name changes.

[@royery]

yeah true, also in Hialeah, most of the streets have two numbers, or one number and one name.

[@pigjubby1]

This is South Pasadena, California, except not as neurotic as South Pasadena, California.

[@Prideoffreedom]

pigjubby1 haha this is very much Portland

[@totigerus]

pigjubby1 South Pasadena is the Portland Oregon of Northeast Los Angeles/West San Gabriel Valley

[@wes11bravo]

Well...

[@peterbelanger4094]

@@Prideoffreedom Maybe 4 years ago, but now the 'more rational' characters have moved out of town, and they replaced by even crazier people who just want to remove the street sign entirely, citing the systemic racism of road names. I live in an adjacent town to Portland. This tv show makes me want to cry sometimes. They do a tv show mocking Portland, and they take it seriously, and treat it like advice. Portland became a satire of a satire of itself, spiraling into insanity.

[@PEACEOUTPAT]

Damn that sign is out there in the world somewhere right now on somebodys wall or in their garage because their spouse hates it

[@StuSaville]

[@nicholaslaport3354]

And in parentheses we'll just put a totally different numbered street

[@tothelighthouse9843]

For a reason that I can't quite identify, I always suspect the passive-aggressive behaviour of Fred's characters all started out as unscripted ad-libs from Fred.
