I used to work at Hobby Lobby, and our jewelry section was wiped out by people who made their own jewelry and sold it on etsy. I'm really tempted to make jewelry too XD But most of the trinkets are made from sweatshops :(
Timing is everything in grad school. You don't want to jump into it too early, because the days of lazy college life are still fresh in your mind. You have to work for a few years, and only when you realize that work sucks and is unrewarding, then it is the right time to retire back into college. Just don't choose a major where you have to spend tons of time kissing the asses of tenured professors because that sucks. An MBA is easy and lets you avoid a lot of the thesis bullshit.
I know, right?! I bump my head and fall dead to the bed EVERY single time I hear the awkward pauses in the conversation, lmao! Ahh…thank God for the replay button, haha. I can't believe that Carrie and Fred sat down and wrote this song together for this scene. I'm not sure if they wrote the scene, but they wrote the song - they had to have been laughing as hard as we all are! xD
after I saw this video I realized something. My life had no direction, no meaning, I always wanted a job that would let me express my artistic spirit and serve as a livable means of income. Finally, I've found out what I want to do; make jewelry!

True Story: Portlandia has helped me with being frustrated. Whenever someone makes me repeat myself I used to get easily frustrated and say something sarcastic. Now, I just take long pauses and answer the question in a quick and deliberate manner.
This is the most subtle comedy ever made. I'm genuinely curious if anyone can come up with something more understated and still hilarious. It's so brilliant because you're basically laughing the entire time but it's just like this silent, ironic smile under the surface that keeps bubbling over into hilarity. It's continually funny from start to finish even when nothing is happening. I have such great memories watching this show with friends.
It’s the Raising Arizona of Portlandia. If you haven’t seen it, watch and you’ll understand. Coen Bros. comedy classic that one doesn’t crack up from, you just get the joke and it’s brilliance through the entire film.
10 years later and this skit still makes me laugh every time. I watch it to make me feel better about the world, which takes itself far too seriously these days.
I live in LA. Everytime I’m talking to a middle aged woman, who doesn’t have a job, and is supported by either her parents or husband. They always are Jewelry Makers.
It because they are unfufilled by not getting the jobs they want and overwhealmed by the competition and making jewelry is a calming outlet much like how gaming is an outlet for men
I don't make jewelry myself, but as a crocheter I can attest that most handicrafts in the US are highly undervalued. It's the Wal-mart culture--people buy cheap Chinese, Indian or Bangladesh jewelry or crafts and somehow think the same thing in the US made in the US should cost the same. It actually makes me mad to see crocheted items (which have to be done by hand--it can't be done by machine) for cheap at Target or something because I know how much work it takes and how little that worker gets
I get portlandia because its the same in quebec Canada. We have shit ton of people making ugly ass jewelry. Putting birds on things. We have alot of hipsters and people trying to be ''original''.
haha I saw this video last night, and I run my own window cleaning business. So the whole time I was working today, I was singing "he's washing windows now..."
haha I am a sterotypical hippie/liberal and I love Portlandia. people should be able to laugh at themselves :P btw, what is the dude job equivalent of making jewelry? I ask because, uh...
Indeed. I love Portlandia poking fun at such a specific group, but if you read the comments and think about it, why must we necessarily uphold everyone to a usefulness standard? They're making jewellery, you're typing a UA-cam comment and wasting time on the Internet.
Having lived in a college/"liberal" town while I went to university, Portlandia gets it right almost every time with this kind of culture/genre they are making fun of. I have put this show on in front of friends and they just don't get it which makes it so frustrating.
The clip I dare not share on social media for fear of offending about 40% of my friends & contacts
do it...for the lulz. Clearly they should be doing something more productive with their lives.
+Mary Conroy I was JUST about to do that.

even more reason to post it
This is literally my life and I accept it. haha.
That second loud "YEAH?" kills me every time
I love the end where reality sets in. :)
Dat sister tho!
She's fit/fine.
I'm genuinely happy for her 😄

I can't believe that Carrie and Fred sat down and wrote this song together for this scene. I'm not sure if they wrote the scene, but they wrote the song - they had to have been laughing as hard as we all are! xD
YEAH?
My favorite part 😄 You know it's coming!
My kids were cracking up and said, " mom, that's you!".
shanta wiley lol
At least you have your life on track.
😂🤣
You go Shanta!
Wait are you still making jewellery?
Right after this came out, my cousin announced that she was making jewelry. She's a really sweet person, but I couldn't stop laughing.
anyone who has tried to sell jewelry knows it is a bottomless pit of expensive supplies lol.
@@ark194only if you're purchasing your supplies at retail costs.
Yeah, it is. @@ark194
"And it's like, we're so happy cuz she's not floundering around any more."

I love how it turns out to be overwhelming for him.
lol. Thats exactly what happened to me when I joined the "ebay seller" bandwagon
More underpaying
To me it saves the whole video from punching down
Just apply to grad school
It was for me. I ended up getting kicked off of Etsy. Pretty much the same thing happened actually, like I couldn't keep track of the necklaces
This is about 70 percent of my high school people from Facebook. *cues chorus* "They're making jewelry now, they've got their life on track..."
I can't believe they captured my hobby so effortlessly. I absolutely love sighing to myself, and saying, "Maybe I should just apply to grad school."
every time i sit down at the jewelry bench this song runs thru my head. god bless
that's kinda brutal, but at least the majority of us are making that jewelry--unless they are physically helping someone.
You're making jewelry now.
“She’s got that arty spirit back”🤣😂🤣
Isn't it "that oughties spirit"?
alAssasVideos not sure but arty sounds hilarious
My favorite part of the song
@@al-Assas I thought it was "artist spirit" too, but then the dream of the 90's is alive in Portland, so maybe the oughties too...
Bahaha hilarious, best part in this skit
The two loud "yeah?"s from Fred. LOL
This is so hilarious. Because it's so true. Omfg.
The sister's so pretty
Carrie makes jingles now, she's got her life on track...
You must make jewelry. Lol
Winner!
Carrie supports herself
Lol if only she just finished other people's sentences
The sister is making the perfect facial expressions, her slight smile and eyes 😂😂😂
blink twice if you need help
is she really carrie's sister tho?
@@galadis123 they do look alike
She does have eyes. I thought that was a nice touch.
Agree, she's adorable. 😍
i work for a silversmith and this song plays through my head every time i go to work
Shouldn't you be making jewelry now?
( 0:47 and 1:02 ) Its the little things like how they clipped Freds "YEA" twice. So good.
I know! I feel like people who don't like/get the show don't notice these brilliant social nuances.
Sometimes I just randomly sing "she's making jewelry now... she's got her life on track"
Same here lol
Same
"YEAAAHH?!"
"She's in an MLM and burning through her alimony" 🎵🎶

He's making jewelry nowwwww
I assume it went well, eleven years later?
So, how is it going?
An ENTIRE GENERATION: "I should just apply to grad school."
I felt so incomplete until I made my first pair of earrings. Now life makes sense.
Sounds like you've got your life on track.
A childhood friend studied art in college and eventually got an MFA in painting. Then, she went to school for massage therapy. When I asked why she didn’t try and get a job with, say, an animation studio, she said it didn’t interest her. Then, she took a pottery class. Started selling it. A few months ago, she started a class in jewelry making at a community college. Eventually, I predict, she’s going to marry Fred Arminson.
Thats like asking a physics major why they don't try being an astronaut
Best comment in the thread
Animation studio probably doesn't pay as well as massage therapist.
The delayed cut at 1:08 is brilliant.
He’s investing in Crypto now, he got his life on track
He's telling everybody about it. Dogecoin is going to replace the dollar soon...
I’m binging on you tube now!
I’ve got my unemployment on track!
....been there, done that!
Omg😂😂🤣🤣
You can move to Portland and finish peoples sentences
So appropriate these days!
This is like the visual representation of my facebook feed.
He's into crypto now 👏👏👏👏
She looks happy and fulfilled.
I’m super glad for her
True Story: Portlandia has helped me with being frustrated. Whenever someone makes me repeat myself I used to get easily frustrated and say something sarcastic. Now, I just take long pauses and answer the question in a quick and deliberate manner.
i read your comment and then saw your pic and laughed so hard. I imagined peake saying it.
Lol thanks the laughs. I was pissed at life and now I’m good🤣
But do you burst into song after the long pause?
That’s so cool. Portlandia makes me happy.
@@waltonsimons12 I do. That's the next skit, the hyperactive person who fills up the room with antics

The actress who plays Meghan is GORGEOUS
These two were so silly and perfect together!! Uugghhh...I miss having new episodes of Portlandia so much!
as someone who doesn't make jewelry but does sell it, i feel seen, heard and attacked.
yeah....same

1:05 the split second look of disdain on Carrie's face when Fred asks what she's doing for the 5th time is my favorite part of this bit.
LOL its funny because its real. I had three friends attempt this at one point.
shoulda just applied to grad school lol... did they make this with me in mind?
I played this for my brother when he wanted to start a bespoke suit company with absolutely no experience
you pushed him down the stairs for using "bespoke" didnt you?
This whole clip is very, very post-recession energy.
YEAH???
Her happy expressions always makes me want to leave my day job and start makiinnng jewelryyyy noooow.
Carries real sister
"isn't your sister, like, going to massage school... for a while?"
Wow they really got their lives figured out now... good for them
I love that they so pointedly used Fred's same "YA??" twice lol

I have no idea why but this song is so catchy and so funny. When I saw it I couldn't stop laughing hahaha
Fred is such a brilliant actor, I can watch 00:09 a million times.
It's better than my idea of refurbishing the thrift store lamps
I'm making a bracelet as I watch this... this is somewhat spooky.
Jeanne's making jewelry now, she's got her life on track
How much do they cost?
YEAH??
Anyone have a crush on Carrie?
crushed to a powder. extra fine.
Yes
Until I saw her sister
🤚🏽
rather crush on a pomeranian than any of the girls here
I get portlandia because its the same in quebec Canada. We have shit ton of people making ugly ass jewelry. Putting birds on things. We have alot of hipsters and people trying to be ''original''.

yep it does
My favorite parts are when Fred tries to get her to sing again
She's now an OnlyFans 👏👏👏👏
1:19 “she got that arty spirit back” 😂🤣😂❤️

btw, what is the dude job equivalent of making jewelry? I ask because, uh...

It is manly to make jewelry if you can work with metal or know stuff about minerals.

LOL ! 😆
I think most of us know someone that is, "making jewelry now" 📿
....YEAH!?
"What does she do again?"
"..."
the "now" is really important
Omg, i feel so attacked but ngl this is hilarious. "Shes making streetwear now. Shes making upcycled clothing now"
As a jewelry designer, this totally made me laugh! Well done..
That 90s camera angle at 1:51 is so choice.
Perfect for an album cover.
this really cheered me up for some reason
Whenever I feel shitty. This vid never fails to pick me up
