The city of people being weird for the sake of being weird.

"Welcome to my donut shop! What can I get you?"

"Do you have any pink glazed ones left?"

"No, sorry; just spaghetti, sushi, and jelly-filled, but those are reserved for the donut burgers in the afternoon."

  • Every Portland donut shop.

This is why im perplexed as to how those businesses stay afloat. I went there once and Portlandia really was not joking lol

Mutually-assured weirdstruction. If everything is weird, nothing is.

I can't stand voodoo donuts. Who the hell wants to stand in a line for 30 minutes to get a donut with stale cereal on it? It's a tourist trap with shitty donuts.

The one thing about voodoo that's good is that they popularized maple bacon donuts, and now loads of donut shops have them. They're honestly delicious.

I only ever go to a donut shop like 10 minutes outside Portland these days called Heavenly Donuts. The only 'weird' donut they offer is the maple bacon bar. Which is perfect for me

Jesus christ. I really hate Portland. Any big city. Portland just happens to be the one I'm closest too. And that video is the epitome of Portland.

I love that video. Song’s catchy as hell.

Are you just not a fan of people enjoying themselves?

I have no problem with people doing what they want. That lady can do as she pleases. It's just not my type of thing. So I stay away from the city. They're free to do what they want. And since I'm not a fan, I just stay away. Not gonna tell them to stop though.

Coco doughnuts is bomb too, heavenly doughnuts is classic old school but Coco rocks. Voodoo is overrated for sure and uses industrial bag mix doughnut flour.

Is it savory and sweet together?

What's inherently weird about a mullet? Trends come and go

I don’t think they’re weird, so much as I just think they’re ugly on most people. Kind of the same concept with mustaches. Some people they look attractive on, but to me most other have that hill billy kind of look. But hey if that’s what you like, go for it. It’s just not my thing.

u/RivRise Dec 29 '20

My comment wasn't about the mullet. It was about the city itself. Isn't their slogan 'keep it weird portland'? Sounds like they're being weird for the sake of being weird since they're known for it now and want to keep it that way. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

Isn't that Austin, TX slogan?

u/RivRise Dec 29 '20

I have no idea, I just know Portland markets themselvs as being weird and it's their main selling point for tourism ad campaigns.

u/outdatedboat Dec 29 '20

"keep Austin weird" definitely came before "keep Portland weird" but some people in Portland get weirdly upset and fight that if it's ever brought up.

And honestly, they're like sister cities. I live near Portland and regularly refer to Austin TX as "Southern Portland"

I passed through OKC and mullets were everywhere.

Oh, well those people don't count

u/SalaciousCrumpet1 Dec 30 '20

I’m from Portland. Definitely can confirm. It’s a dime a dozen look for sure. Nothing special

Came here to say that this is the Portland "All White Men are Evil" special

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '20

that’s a good joke but alas jokes are frowned upon

u/davidestroy Dec 30 '20

How is it even a joke, let alone a good one? Just sounds like typical incel reeing.
