The Best of Fred Armisen | The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

[@GrantGelinasBrown]

Fred is amazingly talented in so many ways.

[@alesamaa]

this man is a universal treasure

[@dimitrisk.papadopoulos]

This man can do impressions of absolutely anything. He did drumming impressions and nailed them too.

[@molly625c]

The man is a GENIUS

[@jillianlewarne8480]

Jimmy snort laughing…love it!! ❤❤❤ FRED ARMISEN❤❤❤

[@carlosortega3d]

Fred's comedy is so unique, I'm never disappointed

[@thegreatcatsby409]

BRAVO 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Fred is awesome!!!!!

[@gertstronkhorst2343]

'Going down the boulevard with a flower' is Lou Reed condensed into one sentence. Magical!

[@lisamarie5882]

God, I just love him

[@LeezPgh]

Making Quest laugh is the goal. And being Fred Armison is the goal. 👏🏼👏🏼

[@jonasabry9099]

Okay, so I was an asshole when I lived in Portland and got irritated at the show and them filming there, but to be honest, it was one of the funniest TV shows of the last decade. 😄😆🤣

[@lonahtelik7235]

Yep. As an also young hipster I hugely disliked him. I eventually realized I was just jealous of Fred. Now I see he's basically exceptional

I don't understand why Portlanders hated this show. It's so good and I feel like it's the most Portland thing ever to hate it. But I also feel like I'm missing something. I've lived in PDX. I don't get the hate at all.

[@ikarusxv]

Many hipster stores were also complaining about the show 😅

[@riobrasilsambashowssambist1453]

Indeed it was... Much better than most comedies

[@maurenwalsh5313]

I went to my first punk show with Fred... The Damned 1986

They speaking the language of the drummer!

[@KimLacy]

loved all this 🧡

[@DoubleOneven]

Fred is the perfect example of someone that won't be truly appreciated until he's gone.

[@sususegar]

The thing he said about his drumming over the decades, can be applied to guitar. I'm in my late 30s and I can already feel my taste evolving to slower and more laidback feel, not rushing to prove how fast or how many hooks I can squeeze into 4 bars.

[@minakothomas7499]

amazing!!!!!

[@TacomaPaul]

Fred Armisen.... and Carrie Brownstein, (in Sleater/Kinney), in Tacoma. And Kyle McClachlan did mayor Portlandia ....then Twin Peaks, and Dune. Did you know, Frank Herbert wrote "Dune", in Tacoma ! 1954 ;-)

[@k53ss22]

He is a genius

[@kalenbobele431]

Fucking Genius Fred Armisen…alll so true darlin

[@jonasabry9099]

He was pretty damn funny on SNL and Portlandia, for a while I was annoyed by him. But his impersonations were funny. I don't know who he is personally, but the sketches were good and the Priest in Easy A was gold.

[@oso7223]

Still can't believe this guy is in the Mario movie as Cranky Kong

[@wlskaotik]

Best ever!

[@SleepyT23]

one thing I've always wondered, and maybe someone out there has an answer to this, is why did Carrie Brownstein and Fred never make music together? If they did and I missed it, let me know. Both of them are musical, though. 'Why just Portlandia?' is my question. Were they tired of each other when they stopped the show? I know they're good friends. Would love if anyone has the insight

[@bombshelb1289]

I've been binging interviews since I've been binge watching Portlandia for the first time and I don't remember which interview it was said, but I remember Fred saying when he and Carrie met and knew they wanted to work together they didn't want to do music because if felt too obvious, so they seemed to make the effort to stay away from that and find something else, which I think led to ThunderAnt and then Portlandia of course. Now that the show's been done perhaps they will come back together on something musical as a way of working together again.

[@Carcerian]

The way he mocked the entitled and political correctness in Portlandia, was epic Truth!

[@selenasantos4174]

I didn't know he played the drums, I just know him as Regine

[@dougshaw2944]

He's hilarious.

[@kstepko]

I would have said that “23 Cousins” was about large numbers of men enlisting and dying in WWII.

[@undaunted1065]

Ya know? For real. I was expecting it to take some kind of military/war interpretation turn, since crew cuts were being given to them. 💈🪖

Patience is a virtue

[@joeboy4229]

I actually went to high school with Fred Armisen... One time in 8th grade he gave me a wedgie... Not a standard wedgie but an atomic wedgie that rode up my crack so bad that they had to surgically remove my undies... Found out years later that the doctor pinned them to his wall because they found it so funny. That was the summer my cousin Vinny got pinched for loitering.

[@vangodogwalking]

Aaaah

[@AnonymousAccount514]

Fred is like Woody Allen, if Woody Allen was funny

[@reneekad]

Bad things went down at the drum circle at the rail yard. This is much better & a much different experience.

16:13 of Jimmy fake laughing and pretending to be entertained. 🤣

[@Carcerian]

Jimmy doesn't hide his envy well does he? lol

[@sarahberkner]

Jimmy isn't pretending to be entertained imo because he doesn't pretend well. When Robert Irwin is on with his exotic animals for example you can tell he's nervous and isn't having a lot of fun but is trying to be polite.

[@reneekad]

Elliot insisted “route” was simply a football term

[@jonasabry9099]

Portlandia was the last really funny show, Hipsters and Progressives were finally able to make fun of themselves and than Wokeness happened.

Jimmy idk why my brother slandered you. He suggested you had a serious drinking problem, you fell in glass and cut your hand while inebriated, and that you were “a mess.”

[@reneekad]

Singles mattered too much. It wasn’t that great looking back.
