1996 Saab 9000 Aero 4-door hatchback in Sky Blue Metallic. It's kind of ironic that they chose this to be the "boring" car, since the Aero was the top-end, high-performance trim. In fact, there are Saab collectors who'd probably want this car. The Aero models are fairly rare.
As an ex car salesman. You’d be surprised how often this makes sense. They describe what they need. I point them at the exact right car for their needs and in the price range. But they don’t like something about it. After looking at the wrong stuff for an hour or two. Right back at the one I knew worked best and they take it home.

There's like 10 good quotes in here, I've avoided this show until about 30 minutes ago, since, this is like the 5th or 6th clip I've watched and I'm sold af
The ad campaign for this show sucked. The old bumper commercials on IFC with them just standing around while the theme played, combined with the show's name, made it look like indie hipster drivel. I avoided it for years because of those. I didn't even realize it was a comedy lol
I love how so much of Portlandia just seems like Fred and Carrie messing with each other during takes. Like that whole dance be does after getting the keys. No way was that scripted.
@@gnussyflarkin He did! He also wiped my butt from time to time. But yeah those wipers were great in snowy Sweden when you wanted to avoid hitting elk and reindeer with your car.
Saabs were great cars back in the day. I'd love to own that 9000. That being said, everything they said was dead on, lol. You couldn't pick a car more right in the middle of the spectrum.
At first this show was a *satire* of the same 3 kinds of hipster you found in Portland in the 90s. But as the Bay Area started pouring into Portland like a bathtub drain... Portlandia became a documentary about the cartoon people living in the city.
The most impressive thing about this bit is that the guy actually committed to doing those things with his ears. He was so committed that he managed to actually pull that off in a weeks time. Thats commitment and talent.

"I'm a home owner" omg this show was beyond its time. 🤣🤣🤣
Drive around Portland. Lots of these homes, parked illegally.
In Portland? Yeah this is a homebuying situation.
Nothing is ever beyond its time. Societies are just stupid and fearful until it comes back to viscously bite them in the ass. Then they change to what people had expected or wanted for ages. 😂 then we rinse and repeat.
I say this for every situation
Because Portland is ahead of the curve when it comes to CHAOS.
"If you're going to commit a crime, this is a great car to do it in, 'cause how would you describe it?"
gary an abomination that partially led to the failure of a car company.

Dweeb mobile
@@lehighguy :D wow... you know your stuff. I dunno anything about car. impressed.
I would describe it as a saab
"Some boring number" is next level selling tactics
That's probably how the guy ended up buying a 2002 Saab for $12,345.67
I came to the comments just to see how quickly someone highlighted the line: “Some boring number.” Genius line.
I was thinking 5. Five is the maybe the boringest number. It's almost as conformist as 10, but without any of 10's flash.
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat Exactly! I mean, how pretentious is 10…!? Ten’s always like, “Ooh, look at me, I’m so cool.” 5 is like, “Just stop.”
🤣🤣🤣
“Most cars try hard to give off that ‘I don’t care about cars vibe’, but this car means it.”
I laughed so hard at that 🤣
This one is the Face Tattoo of cars. I like that 1 too.
i miss my saab convertible so much
"I'm a homeowner!"
That shit killed me
It's the authentic things that make this show so damn funny.
@Rollo Larson yeah, the wagon that you run on french fry oil is better suited to his needs.
lol... perfect.. just perfect.
I lost it at that point. Hilarious
“I’m a homeowner” is so underrated for Portland 😂😂😂😂
I dunno...pretty accurate for Portland...even before the homeless crisis...
“I’m a home owner” LMFAO
Classic!
Sweet!
“Why didn’t you say that? I have the perfect car for you!” *reverts to the first car* 💀💀💀
This happened in my life... to a friend 😉
Yep... That was the joke

Y'know, this car is the default setting. And then one guy was like, 'we should put some wipers on the headlights'. That guy got fired.
I have thought it would be funny to drive a car that was an old beater on the outside and was luxurious on the inside.
My volvo has wiper headlights, how else do you see at night in the rain?
@@Khyrid dude rain doesn't cut your light output at night, the light wipers are for cleaning snow, because that blue Saab was designed in Sweden where half the year is cold af
Maybe it’s for snow.
Lol
"How much is it?"
*shrugs* "Some boring number?"
That delivery was perfect
I can't ever get past how Carrie's dude-bro character just sounds like a woman who is possessed by some kind of eldritch demon from another dimension.
I think they actually downpitched her voice in post because she couldn't get as deep as they wanted and it's a side-effect of that
Like Elizabeth Holmes?
I totally thought that was a guy!
As opposed to an Eldritch demon from our dimension.
When you think about it, men are just women possessed by the Y chromosome.
There's like 10 good quotes in here, I've avoided this show until about 30 minutes ago, since, this is like the 5th or 6th clip I've watched and I'm sold af
Literally me
Ditto. Once I saw it wasn’t just glorifying the PNW but also spoofing it, I fell in love.

Caspar Wilson lol
Hah!
I love how so much of Portlandia just seems like Fred and Carrie messing with each other during takes. Like that whole dance be does after getting the keys. No way was that scripted.
He'a a rudeboy!
Yeah...kind of makes Portlandia hard to watch for more than an episode or two at a time.
@@JoeyJojoJrJr Me: *takes a few hits and then watches 8 episodes in a row* "How dare you."
if i showed this to my Swedish grandpa, who worked for Saab for decades, he would literally murder me.
That's fucking cool that he worked for SAAB
Did he put the wipers on the lights?
Subaru's are actually more common in Portland.
@@gnussyflarkin He did! He also wiped my butt from time to time. But yeah those wipers were great in snowy Sweden when you wanted to avoid hitting elk and reindeer with your car.
@@dengueberries - Can I just say this story really brightens my day :)
“I don’t put my packs with other guys packs “
Best show everrrrrrrrrr ❤️
I don't cry. I Saab.
Bully Maguire approves
"And one guy was like we should put wipers on the headlights... That guy got fired." 🤣🤣
Wait a sec. But that’s a Saab. Those are cool as hell! They don’t make em anymore, and they’re funky
They used to make planes!
The ignition is in the center console!!
Fun fact: Saab makes way more money selling military hardware (think rockets and whatnot) than they ever did with cars.
@@msreedaran89 They still do. And the car company is dead.
This is like the face tattoo of cars
"I'm a homeowner"
Real

Jasmine Houston-Burns Haha!
Welcome to the west coast
That's what Blackrock and Vanguards are doing to Americans.
One of the Best satirical Comedies ever.
Loads of talent these two.
Can not wait for their next venture. This Nation needs them.
And I'd argue for the best American satirical comedy, as they never targeted low hanging fruit or the traditional groups.
Just bought my first car today and said "I'm a home owner" when they gave me the keys hahahaha
More true now than it was then.
Carrie looks like Justin Long everytime she goes dude.
🤣👌 facts.
Justin Long looks like Carrie as a dude
@@Elric54 hmmmmm I never tought of it that way 🤔🤯
Have you seen the sketch where they bring in Justin Long as Carrie's moms boyfriend?? (Carrie as Lance - so her mom is dating her son essentially)
In a few days I'm planning to buy my first car in 19 years, and I've been trying to figure out how to go about it. This video was very helpful.
"this car is the default setting" great joke
Saabs were great cars back in the day. I'd love to own that 9000. That being said, everything they said was dead on, lol. You couldn't pick a car more right in the middle of the spectrum.
What an amazing vehicle, that's the Turbo...
Classic 900 in the back as well
This skit brings so many pieces of the shows brilliance to light. It’s the most fun I can have in front of a screen.
"this is a greag car to commit crimes in because how would you describe it"
xD im dying!!!!
At first this show was a *satire* of the same 3 kinds of hipster you found in Portland in the 90s. But as the Bay Area started pouring into Portland like a bathtub drain... Portlandia became a documentary about the cartoon people living in the city.
And then the people in Portland saw the show and interpreted it as advice, rather than satire, and it all got 1000x worse.
Also that "face tattoo of the car" can be seen in SE portland lol near the old chuck e cheese
@@eder7468 Can confirm
Cartoon people, funny you say that I was just thinking how it's more socially accepted for adults to think and act like kids now
The Bay Area is the best
How did they make those stretched ears looK SO REAL?!
theyre real fred actually became a dipshit for this skit
@@stewertpadasole8001 That's commitment.
@@stewertpadasole8001 daaaaaaaaaaaamn man, that cut deep. Real deep 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omg salesman changed the sell on the same car to suit dude. This whole skit, down to that little dance, is brilliant.
carrie plays a dude scarily well lol
@Emily Sherow 😂
Agreed. As a guy, I just can't help myself and finger hood scoops on cars.
Never realized it was the same person. Didn't know for the guy either
When she says, "fine!"and slams the hood, the way she moves her body is just really girly.
My brain screamed, that's not a guy.
The brown hatchback behind them is a 200 Ford Focus Kona Edition. It came with a free Kona Bicycle.
So you're inside the thing, huh?
Kumail should get every salesman role in showbiz, period.
I simply love Lance so much
“Im a homeowner !” Is the best punchline ever
The chick as a guy reminds me so much of Adam Driver.
Too manly for Adam Driver.
bluerisk I guess my thought that Carrie looked more like Justin Long is out
Elizabeth Holmes
@@wildfermented711 This comment deserves more positive acknowledgment.
its the voice maybe ?
This is the crossover event I’ve waited for.
Lol, "you have to be a mechanic to drive this car" couldn't have said it better myself.
Kumail was seriously such a perfect part of this show. I loved every character he played
Drive a Saab 9000 turbo 5-speed and you'll know why he chose it.
SiliconClassics good cars
I was driving one of these when this episode aired, loved that car!
Had a mechanic tell me SAAB stands for "Something Always About to Break"
@@zener81 in that era, anything that wasn't Japanese was going to break. Those Saabs were awesome. Especially the SPG and Aero.
I had an 88 9000 turbo stick and it would break every speed limit in the US
...in third.
I don’t put my packs with other guys packs lolololololol
I would love that blue Saab 9000!! Awesome car.
That whole in the ear. That absence of flesh.... priceless.
I had a SAAB 9000 Turbo and loved it.
same
"I'm a homeowner!" thats exactly what i want to say when i go for my first car! LMAO
I feel personally attacked as a Saab driver
I like how he tries to sell him the blue car twice
It worked
I wish those prices held up . .crazy to say that when this shows not that old
Saab 9000 Turbo... such an awesome car. I miss mine so much. Look how good of condition this one is in...
"This is like the face tattoo of cars." lol 😂
$1300 for a clean 300td is pretty good.
"So you're inside the thing huh?"
Portland for real has those crazy art cars.
Carrie’s man persona is really just Justin Long playing himself.
Damn! If that was a real car guy they would go wild over a Saab 900 Turbo in that condition! Especially with the 3 spoke wheels! Classic!
"What is under the bonet? An engine i suppose! Nobody open it! "
That's because Saab engine never break 😂
It constantly smells like French frys which is a good or bad thing depending on how you feel about that 🤣🍟
fries
"I know everything about engines" such a guy XD
These are some fucking amazing comic actors. Like, the best of their era. 👏👏👏
🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 That first car just says "A Car" on the windshield
"This is like the face tattoo of cars."
1:43 "HO HO HO LOOK at THAT!"
*points at radiator*
Definitely the best part about that challenger 😂
That's the air cleaner, not the radiator. The radiator sits behind the grill, not on top of the carburetor.
@@baums547haha you are right, I stand corrected!
OMG.! I laughed my ass off.!
And the last line.. Priceless.!
"This is the face tattoo of cars"
I want that black 900 convertible very badly...
“ I’m a home owner”
She scratched the polish, with that belt buckle
I wonder how they created the plugs for Fred’s ears. How did they not fall off?
Its actually a prostetic lower ear piece he wears.
Honestly though, that rebuilt muscle car going for only $9,999 is a steal. That thing could easily pull 8 times that amount at an auction.
Good buy’ one of the most ok cars ever made and the best for the money
sound like the red-shirt character is imitating Elizabeth Holme's fake voice.
i loved it when lance said “what’s under the hood” lmao
Buys car.
Declares home ownership.
Welcome to the future!
"I'm a homeowner"
Cuz he's gonna live in it.
Oh my lord, this skit is too much XD
If you crimed me in a Saab 9000, I'd know...
The most impressive thing about this bit is that the guy actually committed to doing those things with his ears.
He was so committed that he managed to actually pull that off in a weeks time.
Thats commitment and talent.
"This car is like the default setting" lol
“Got you pegged.” 🤣
Imagine a sketch of women and women first and Carrie walks in in this character!
Is that Mercedes wagon still available? MESSAGE ME!!!
Car salesman has since perfected his yoga flame..
Ending with “I’m a homeowner.” LOLOL
Those are actually great saabs
@josephhertzberg2734
Saying Saabs are great is an oxymoron akin to saying jack black is funny.
when it went back to the saab i died.
Some boring number. lolol
Wow I need to rewatch Portlandia
Good to see Justin Long is still getting work
have you seen the clip where Jason Long is this characters father??
knew it be a Saab or Volvo, and I love my Volvo
“This is the face tattoo of cars” 😂
Damn...if they added a prius in there. This would perfectly describe pretty much any car you see in Austin driven by people below 40
ouch! so true :-)
oh is that the pull-out king?
"I'm a home owner" man, I can relate. 🤣
Who is the black woman who sings together with Maya Rudolph?
I wanna know how they do his stretched ears. LOL. And Carrie is so flippin adorable as Lance
The Lance/Spike crossover was a good idea. They should’ve done these more.
LOL, this is like the face tattoo of cars!!! SO GOOD!
This is like the face tattoo of cars” hahahaha 🤣
