Portlandia Be Right Back Song found!

After some digging on here and someone else finding the composer on IG, I messaged him a while back asking if the song was ever released on its own and it wasn’t. Fast forward to today…Here it is! Artist/producer Jaedee just dropped the track “Heat” today on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/4rJtgTIt29NO767sVApnnC?si=N3SamaU-TMOY_TLCaVKw3Q

What are some of your favorite sketches from the show? Absurd/ obscure sketches that live rent free in your head?

I would say Spyke is one of my top recurring characters and between this and Bart Ska-ampson Matt Groenig lawsuit and the Rube Goldberg kid always are randomly popping into my head.

I’d love to hear some other sketches that people constantly reference or pop into their heads randomly

Honorable mentions: “Eat your brunch”, “it’s always beats”

Weird silent characters

One thing about the show that has always puzzled me is the abundance of bit characters who don't speak whatsoever. Does anybody know what the deal is? Is this like a deliberate choice by Fred and Carrie?

Need help finding a song

I’ve had this song stuck in my head and I’m pretty sure it’s from Portlandia. I can’t remember the lyrics exact my but it’s Fred doing a grovely voice and it goes something like this. “I, owe, you, seven cents, i’ll pay you at another time.” and that’s all I remember.

Won’t she be surprised to learn he can do so much more!

S8. E4 & Wicked

Please humor me. I have a joking theory that the movie Wicked is just Derek the magician’s coma dream. He’s the wizard obviously. And Elphaba is green because she’s a reflection of the baby alligator he got who was supposed to help him with his magic but later bit his face off. He mentions how he’s all alone in the top of the royal palace bc he’s all alone in Nina and Lance’s attic. And the whole giant animatronic wizard face? Well he doesn’t have a face so he’s subconsciously created that in his dream to replace the one he really lost.

"For Your Consideration" DVD vs. standard DVD of season 8

I'm on the horrible quest to collect all the seasons on physical media, and I'm trying to figure out whether there's any difference in content between the "For Your Consideration" DVD and the standard DVD of season 8.

Could someone with a "For Your Consideration" DVD explain what's on it? Does it contain all ten episodes? Anything else?

And could someone with a standard DVD of season 8 explain whether it contains anything in addition to the ten episodes (commentary, other bonus features, etc.)?

Edit: Thanks to u/Unifi-Equipment-Noti for explaining below that the "For Your Consideration" DVD contains all ten episodes but nothing more.

I managed to buy a copy of the standard DVD and so can now report that it contains the following in addition to the ten episodes.

  • A trailer for season 8. Bizarrely, it's just slightly different from the "official trailer" on YouTube.
  • Two of what the DVD case calls "video shorts," titled "Portfandia" and "Portlandia Is Forever." These are only about thirty seconds each and look to me like they were TV spots.
  • Seven of what the case calls "Fred and Carrie Rewind videos." (The case incorrectly states that there are only six of these!) These are also only about thirty seconds each and also look to me like they were TV spots.

The standard DVD doesn't include audio commentary. (In fact, it looks like seasons 1 and 2 are the only ones that include commentary. Season 1 includes it for all six episodes, and season 2 includes it for only four of the ten.)

The Aimee Mann/Sarah McLachlan sketch

Hey there. Daft request of the day! I'm after the full skit with Aimee Mann and Sarah McLachlan (where Mann is their cleaner and McLachlan their gardener, and there is hilarious and scathing criticism of the music industry and listeners in the late 90s and early 00s). I can only find the beginning of it on YouTube, but not the full sketch. Can anyone help, please?

Roseanne Barr

First time watching! Imagine my disgust seeing Roseanne Barr star in Season 3 Episode 7. Then I realized this was taped in 2013 when Barr was just certifiably crazy, not the horrible MAGA woman she is today. I love the show so much. I wonder if Carrie and Fred regret casting her?

I kinda think Do You Realize is a shitty song

I don't know anything about Flaming Lips but that's one of my favorite episodes. However, Do You Realize sounds like sentimental tacky cray-up.

Edit- Goddamn it. I spoke too soon and now I feel like an asshole. As I wrote in some replies, the version in the episode is supposed to sound like shit. I listened to the actual recording and it's pretty good, music and lyrics.

One can only admit when they are wrong

Favorite INTRO sketch?

Mine would either have to be the Jenny. Blunderbuss Flyer sketch or the Dead Pets sketch.

Would like to hear from the community on theirs?

Edit, Chicken Sprinkler (specially Carrie's cut line) and Pickle That are also favs for me

Edit 2, now have to add Navigation Extreme to the list 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm crying rn

Finding a scene involving Spyke

There was an episode where spyke has his name on a wooden sign. I think it said “spÿkes garage” or something along those lines. I’ve been scouring everywhere trying to find it. Anyone know the episode? Thanks!

Just wondering...

Just discovered this show, have been binge watching a lot of it the past few days, and was wondering how many other people out there get serious Kids In The Hall vibes from it?

Edit, after a few more days of binge watching, it also gives me Tim and Eric vibes as well (yes, I'm aware Tim Hidecker was a guest on the show)...

Edit 2, over all, the show comes off as being VERY inspired by KITH and Tim and Eric

Any clue?

I’ve searched everywhere for this episode, but can’t find it maybe I dreamed it up?? I think Carrie and Fred were talking about buying unnecessary things and the line they said over and over was “so you can have it”. Any clue??

The Pull-out King: LAVABO_ joke?

Jeff Goldblum, the Pull-out King, has an assistant Jason. Jason appears to have a tattoo on his arm that starts "LAVABO", written in black marker. What could this be? Scene is S04 E04, at about 11:38 on Amazon Prime.

I assume this is part of a joke that got cut for time, but can't image what the joke is. LAVABOX? LAVABOY? What joke can you make with sofas?

Not sure how to get a hi res screenshot!
