TV The Simpsons Meet Portlandia; Neither Benefit from the Arrangement
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Mon, Dec 10, 2012 at 10:59 AM
Last night's episode of The Simpsons was a homage/parody/parody inside a parody of Portlandia, when hipsters (Fred and Carrie, 'natch) move in next door to Homer and Marge. Naturally all of Springfield becomes hipsterized to the point where The (actual) Decemberists are teaching the school's music classes.
WAS IT FUNNY? Weeeeeeeellll, you know. Check out some clips here and decide for yourself, for as we all know, I am not to be trusted on such matters.
