    Weird. The whole point of wearing tattoos is to add your flavor to your uniform, but Dame doesn't mention it.

    Sorry for Lillard that he has to deal with these people.

    It's worrisome that Dame called CJ fat.

    But the Mound from Downtown would be a great nickname for him.

    Wasn't that Felton's nickname when he was here?

    LOL.. That reminded me of the days Charles Barkley was nicknamed "The Round Mound of Rebound".

    Can we add a "Painfully Unfunny" button to be used for anything Armisen-related?

    Not a fan of this series but at least the Blazers tried something different on media day. It is better than that thing they did a few years ago where we watched them play video games.

    These have all been very unfunny and awkward. This is the first one I've actually watched all the way through...

    "cringe" humor is the new "funny" ... it's a phase.

    So it Lima, Ohio. Why don't they move there and do a shitty-ass show about free range chickens. Portlandia is about as funny to me as a prostate exam with a kevlar glove.

    Portlandia has a record like the Blazers...10 games under 500....those guys really need to hand the Blazer skits over to Kingspeed....Armisen is making it all about himself which just doesn't work.

    I don't think they've been to the playoffs since their first season.

    I agree. It seems like a pretty good effort. And definitely different from the past stuff the Blazers did.

    I hadn't seen these before--I watched a couple and you can definitely track the influences... the guy from Tim & Eric works on Portlandia, and this series is like a very watered down Steve Brule (which is from Tim & Eric) or Between Two Ferns (which stars Zach Galifianakis, who appears with Tim and Eric on a lot of stuff). It's tough because that humor doesn't work very well in half-measures... you can't really ask Leonard, "You've had three hair styles... what's next for your career?" like you can with Justin Bieber. Haha

    Tim and Eric is some other worldly shit it takes a special kind of weird to find funny. Tim and eric are fucking hilarious to me, every time I have showed it to anybody else, they are just like what? I liked this particular one with Dame, way better than the others. I used to like Portlandia. Don't anymore. The way fred armisens comedy works is hit or miss with me.

    Cringe humor, anti-humor, and absurdism (which is, to a great degree, what these pieces are rooted in) is much better than live studio audience humor in my opinion, and has a long tradition including Woody Allen, Andy Kaufman, National Review and lots and lots of others over the past fifty years ago, at least... and much of Seinfeld is this, too, albeit to a lesser extent (Curb Your Enthusiasm takes the cringe to the next level).

    I don't think it's a phase. Although it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea.
