I got this 10 years ago at a Sleater Kinney concert from a stagehand. Carrie came over to me and a few fans waiting for her when we shouted AO River, and I got her to sign it(and this pic)! 10 years later, I shouted A O river after Fred’s show in Buffalo, and he did a double take before waving me over! I was too star struck to remember to ask for a picture with Fred:-/ he’s been my favorite sketch comedian since I watched him on SNL as a little kid. It might be the most Portlandia-coded Portlandia signature collection ever.

They are ubiquitous.

The reviews from this real store are written from the perspective of one of the actors trying to peruse Women & Women First. The first comment when I scrolled down was a GIF of Candice

Around the World in 80 Plates

I remember an episode where Fred and Carrie get a stenographer to record their relationship and everything they say to each other to reference in future arguments. I’m so sure I remember this on Portlandia but I can’t find it. So maybe I’m mixed up with an SnL skit or something!? Ring any bells?

So awesome to see the legend in person! During the Q and A at the end he said his favorite Portlandia skit is The Goths. ⚰️🪦 He is such a talented musician!

Went to see Fred Armisen’s comedy special live in Atlanta, and it was great!! He was improving quite a bit, but I love his work and Portlandia of course. Which lmao I ended up getting merch: lmao the A-O-River tee and Portlandia tee. He says ATL was his first stop, so be kinda cool to see the evolution of his tour online hehe. Def worth it 😎🥳

"These are the original keys used on Pet Sounds"

Maybe it’s a stretch but it did catch me off guard when I first saw the commercial.

In the Pull-Out King episode (S4E4) there’s a newspaper with an advertisement for Cafe Y2K, which appears in S4E5. There’s also an article about social bankruptcy, which Carrie declares in S4E3. Love these little details!

If you live in Phoenix, stop by The Joy Bus Diner some morning where a "cup o' Joe and a side o' Dough" has been on the menu for years.

I’m listening to Carrie and Fred Discuss the show Portlandia on their new podcast, and we just finished season one. I am looking for the skit where the have live massage therapy music but it’s not on YouTube and that’s the extent of my ability to look for video on the internet. Does anyone have a link?

And why is it the goths?

Bonus Danzig.
