I work construction, I've made the tape sound effect for 6 years, everyone on site thinks there's something wrong with me, only one other dude ever got the reference, we laughed so hard, it was a glorious moment.
6 years is a long time to keep working out a reference gag hoping someday someone would get it. I feel like you could have came up with new material in that time
@@avidadolares That’s precisely the beauty in it, though. The more obscure the reference is, the more rewarding it is when it finally connects with someone else. If it’s a reference that literally everyone will know, then there’s really no point or fun in it then.
I thought the sounds were just for comedic effect, until the ending when I realized the character was making those sounds because the machines weren't actually running, and because he'd watched dozens of woodworking videos, he knew what they were supposed to sound like when turned on.
I’m a generalist, or I guess a “builder” (woodworking, metal fab, and 3D printing) but I feel like this all the time whenever I’ve tried something new and it doesn’t work.
I once read a hilarious article about these old folks in New Zealand who have get-together’s to build each others’ coffins. They make a fun party of it. I thought it was an awesome idea.
Oh I need Carrie singing that song. Then maybe the jewelry lady (Carrie's sister?) and furniture guy can get together as a couple and open a store. "They're selling trinkets now".
I am a carpenter by trade and have timbered two caskets. I have to say, honestly, none the women I brought back home was overly impressed by her possible future casket.
I also thought that was fucking funny and the highlight of the episode UNTIL he dragged out all that lame 'furniture' he made! THAT'S when I really lost my shit! LOLOLOL!!!
This reminds me of so many people who started woodworking during the pandemic. At least they have end-grain cutting boards and epoxy pours down, though.
Has a kid I was working at a ship yard and the owner asked me to build some shelving for the warehouse. He took me over to a pile of scrap wood and 2×4's and just let me have at it. I build the most stupendous hunk of crap shelving. It was sturdy has hell, probably way over built, but wobbled and looked horrible. But he still used it! I was embarrassed every time I walk passed it. I look back and think it was actually a test. I still had a job so maybe he thought I showed promise or he was too kind to can my ass over a bad shelf project.
Vilm Films FYI, it's "FYI". There is no FIY. Hmm. I'm not a carpenter and the 12 people who liked the comment aren't either probably. But, I listen to Adam Carolla's podcasts including Ace on the House, so let me try again for you. Circular saw? Radial arm saw? Close enough I hope.
Lmfao This is so funny to me because my dad is actually a real life 'furniture guy' He built our house and a lot of the furniture in it, he's bad ass 😆👍🏻
Love this sketch. I met so many faux manly men in San Francisco when I lived there that just turned out to be good for nothing hipsters. Mostly repping a hobby like they were real tradesmen. You could always tell by the hands. Also met a lot of folks who had all sorts of nautical tattoos- tall ship chest pieces, compass stars etc. trying to look like weathered adventurers who have never been anywhere. They usually attracted the same type of women though- faux artists, trust funders and the like.
I find it interesting that each episode belongs on a specific side of town or area... what's the rundown on Portland's different sides of town??? guess you would have to live there to understand.
I think it just points to the overall theme and premise of the show, in how the town is a character In of itself and all the quirkiness that occurs in it is tied into the essence of the setting. At least that’s my two cents.
This is brilliant on so many levels. I love how it mocks the idea that we assume manhood means a man being good at woodworking, and the woman only appreciating it cause of the net result, but because he's not good at it, he is somehow not a man anymore. Pretty dark
Good sound effects. Sounds like the noises coming from our garage, except that real furniture comes out of there. Now do a compressor, and don't forget to shout, " ?&*! Honey, I gotta go back to Home Depot!"
This skit is extra funny to me. I used to work as a cook, and in that world, everyone fauns over 'masculine men' who do trade work. I then jumped into the trades, and my perspective changed and I realized being able to work with wood is like a normal human male thing, it's a life skill, it's like being able to swim. When I watch this video and it has fake noises for the tools, I feel like whoever wrote the script understands the coming of age tale of men quite well.
My wife has friends who one of their husbands was into woodworking. I got to know him a bit more and learned that he focuses on making tables. Dude eventually talked about it like it was sliced bread and acted like woodworking could empower everyone to take better control of their lives if they could build things by hand. He brought me in one day and it was nothing more than a hobby. It’s like when dudes start BJJ and all of sudden think they’re laid back, carefree, herb smoking surfers who think they’re playing intelligent chess with human bodies.
Every joke is a "shared grievance" and if you look deeply into this one, we can see the tragedy that in modern life, men have lost their connection to building, construction, self-reliance, and carving out a space and making a nest for their family. When a man realizes the joy of engaging in these primal urges, it's often later in life and his attempts to connect with it are pathetic and jokeworthy. It's funny but it's sad, too.
I feel like Fred learned to make really convincing woodworking sound effects and wrote this entire skit as a way to get them on TV
And thank goodness he found a marvelous way to share such a skill with all of us!
Definitely. Same with "the Californians" started with a bit about people giving directions
That tape measure one killed me lmao
Glad he did!
😂
I work construction, I've made the tape sound effect for 6 years, everyone on site thinks there's something wrong with me, only one other dude ever got the reference, we laughed so hard, it was a glorious moment.
The tape measure sound really got me.
When you realize that someone realizes your inside joke, Well, that’s a glorious moment.

I greatly admire your artistic integrity in this matter.
The sheer desire in that woman's voice as she fantasized about the building of things from cribs to couches to coffins was hilarious.
pretty smart skit but those power tool sound were the best lol
yes!!!
Fred.rrnvrvrrvvvrv!
I thought the sounds were just for comedic effect, until the ending when I realized the character was making those sounds because the machines weren't actually running, and because he'd watched dozens of woodworking videos, he knew what they were supposed to sound like when turned on.
@@WestOfEarth You were right the first time. Watch again and you can see the tools are indeed running.
@@trevorlambert4226 even the tape measure.
I've been a carpenter for 40 years and I'm laughing hysterically because it's all about me
Gosh why everything must always be about you?
My dad is almost 2 years being a carpenter and this is so him LOL
Because if nothing got done it wouldn't be all about him
I’m a generalist, or I guess a “builder” (woodworking, metal fab, and 3D printing) but I feel like this all the time whenever I’ve tried something new and it doesn’t work.
Legend has it, that he's now married to the girl who's making jewelry now
my favorite sound effects are the saw and the tape measure going back in.hilarious.
That belt sander was spot on.
I nearly wet myself with the saw noise. They are such awesome idiots- i love it
Fred is very convincing as a man
meh, I'm not convinced
Dude, Fred's cool. my girlfriend loves this skit.
Jasmine - And as a belt sander.
And your mother.
@@jonhohensee3258 and a tape measure.
the "it's a lavatory vanity box" line alone shows that fred is maybe the funniest person ever
Nah the tape measure sound does.
“He could build our caskets ahead of time”
I wanna do that too
I once read a hilarious article about these old folks in New Zealand who have get-together’s to build each others’ coffins. They make a fun party of it. I thought it was an awesome idea.
Portlandia skewers "Lumbersexual" before it even had a name.
1:18 the way he captured the harmonics of a power drill burrowing through wood is truly beautiful!
"It's not finished, I gotta varnish it"… BRILLIANCE!
This is one of the best portlandia skits
This sketch is multi-layered perfection in 2 minutes (& 10 seconds)!!
I like the way the guy had to stop looking thru the camera to look at the poor workmanship. lmao
👌🏻
Like he couldnt believe it looked that bad lol
This is one of my favorites. Every time I meet a man who said he woodworks I send this to him lol
"He's making chairs now!"
Oh I need Carrie singing that song. Then maybe the jewelry lady (Carrie's sister?) and furniture guy can get together as a couple and open a store. "They're selling trinkets now".
As a fellow woodworker, I confirm this is how all handmade furniture comes out.
I am a carpenter by trade and have timbered two caskets. I have to say, honestly, none the women I brought back home was overly impressed by her possible future casket.
Well, they were probably weirded out you guessed their height and weight accurately....especially after their house keys went missing.
@@Ch50304 fuck, I didn’t consider that at all.
I do woodworking as a hobby. I'm at my office and almost spit my drink out with the mouth sounds for the machines.
Had to pause this cause I couldn't stop laughing at the power tool sound lmao
I also thought that was fucking funny and the highlight of the episode UNTIL he dragged out all that lame 'furniture' he made! THAT'S when I really lost my shit! LOLOLOL!!!
Fred's sound fx is truly the peak of his talents, dear god 😂
This reminds me of so many people who started woodworking during the pandemic. At least they have end-grain cutting boards and epoxy pours down, though.
This is easily my favorite sketch on the show
I came here for the sound effects hahaha
I couldn't stop laughing 😂 OMG so original.....he could build your whole house, and then the furniture in the house, and then your casket
From the first second comedy gold. Love the photo they used of him. Hilarious!
The sound he made when the tape rolled up is the best
Would have been a pretty okay skit if it wasn't for the man made sawing sound effects. Those had me in tears laughing.
Yeah it would have been pretty boring with out them.
I loved the woodworking sound effects.
Hahaha, brilliant. My mate is a carpenter and can make practically anything, girls fall at his feet. The bastard. Fred, i'm more like Fred.
No matter how many times I see this, the last few buffs on the sander bring me to tears

@Bønzëaux Błëuxgrēn very french
This is the new hipster. So true.
The dubbing of the power tools makes this so hilarious
Fred's table saw sound effects!!
Gangrene Vagina FIY there is no table saw in there
Vilm Films
FYI, it's "FYI". There is no FIY.
Hmm. I'm not a carpenter and the 12 people who liked the comment aren't either probably. But, I listen to Adam Carolla's podcasts including Ace on the House, so let me try again for you. Circular saw? Radial arm saw? Close enough I hope.
yeah that is what its called, I didn't want to sound rude because its hard to tell attitude in text
+Gangrene Vagina Please don't be offensive to Yoda
The sounds!! I am DYING!!!
RIP
Lmfao
This is so funny to me because my dad is actually a real life 'furniture guy'
He built our house and a lot of the furniture in it, he's bad ass 😆👍🏻
... of course he had a girl friend
@@conradmaclean4073of course… 🙄

I made a table when I was about 9. It was approximately that stable.
Fred’s face when they’re picking out outfits at the store 😂 I’m dying
this skit speaks to me on a spiritual level
haha, I didn't see that ending coming. Brilliant.
I need a casket after seeing that chair.😂
This is so fricking true.
1:25 the dopey, hollow sound the chair legs make when hit the ground makes me laugh every time.
I find it interesting
that each episode
belongs on a specific
side of town or area...
what's the rundown
on Portland's different
sides of town???
guess you would have to live there to
understand.
I live here and I don’t understand it
I think it just points to the overall theme and premise of the show, in how the town is a character In of itself and all the quirkiness that occurs in it is tied into the essence of the setting. At least that’s my two cents.
Did they hire M. Night? Because I was not expecting that ending.
I need to start making furniture. Maybe then I can grow a decent beard.
And get a really cool chick
This deserves so many more likes
I actually thought that was Jon Hamm for a few seconds.
The confidence he tried to display while his foot was on the wobbling chair was so damn hilarious
That chair shook harder than me 30 seconds into a plank😂😂
This is brilliant on so many levels. I love how it mocks the idea that we assume manhood means a man being good at woodworking, and the woman only appreciating it cause of the net result, but because he's not good at it, he is somehow not a man anymore. Pretty dark
It makes sense, I mean, we're not that removed from 20,000 years ago when not being able to build a hovel meant you died in winter.
Absolutely HILARIOUS!
Good sound effects. Sounds like the noises coming from our garage, except that real furniture comes out of there.
Now do a compressor, and don't forget to shout, " ?&*! Honey, I gotta go back to Home Depot!"
1:46 brownsteins face makes me never wanna disappoint her
I need a vest rack.
My favourite bit is the little "yay" right at the start
So awesome. The power tools were a win.
Carrie's "writer / agency" outfit...with the bolo. So true.
Those sound effects nearly choked me to death.
I tried getting into the scene a while back but my furniture was too well-built and sturdy.
Your problem is, it lacked the sound effects.
am i the only one who checked my tabs after heard that sound effect?
The most masculine man in Portland. Yeah...that seems about right.
The first shot of the cheer is so funny, then putting his leg on it. I died laughing.
HAHHAHHAHHAHhAHHHAHhahh. That chair and vest rack.
1:18 That's how all of my tape measures sound.
The woman in the purple dress is absolutely gorgeous.
Never watched this but laughed my ass off at the chair he carried out.
hahaha - best two minutes of my week (that's what she said) - too funny!!
This show is bananas and I love it
Literally quit my job 5 years ago to make wood chairs
"Yes, please!"
When he starts to flex at the very end it's just like the cherry on top of this already amazing skit
1:20 best part!
A GREAT EPISODE
He's making furniture now...
Caleb is an inordinately popular name in Portland
My name is actually Caleb, and I do (sometimes) actually build furniture... At least I can stand on mine without it collapsing!
+Paul Todd lol
Given the state of manhood in Portland this isn't a bad starting point.
The “yay” at the beginning lol
That stick is the vest rack?
So the guy who builds furniture is the new guy with long hair and an acoustic guitar?
Why is there an Octocat on the board? 0:10

He should be making jewellery now...
If that’s the type of craftsmanship it takes to be a man, then I’m almost a man!
Those tool sounds tho xD
omfg making the wordshop noises by himself is fucking hilarious !!
It took me a while to realize he was making those sounds with his mouth
Hilarious show, I freaking love it
I watches this bc my husband is making furniture now and hates his day job... i hope this isnt my future
That editor was yummy man! 😋
My God I miss this show

My tools don't sound like this. But my woodwork is identical.
the cringe was so real when he took out his furniture.
RIGHT?!?! LOLOLOL!!!
That shaky foot on the chair.......kills me.
Nailed it.
