Portlandia is a satirical sketch comedy series created by Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein, and Jonathan Krisel that aired for eight seasons on IFC (2011–2018). Set and filmed in Portland, Oregon, the show skewers the city's reputation as a haven for eccentric hipsters, radical activists, and artisanal culture.

Armisen and Brownstein play the majority of the characters, often using heavy prosthetics and costumes to portray recurring duos that embody specific Portland subcultures.
