the other day i bought a few shirts at a thrift store in portland and when i asked for a bag the lady gave me a weird look and said they don't give out bags as if i was supposed to know lol
John Howerton many stores throughout liberal Oregon towns do not give out bags. The ones that do have bags are paper and cost a nickel per. Every time I go shopping in the town over, I load up on plastic bags. This skit is great tho because you can tell the looks of disgust from some people that u don’t have a reusable bag with you.
Happens in Vancouver too. If you forget your bag at some of the more hipster grocery stores, they look at you like you just slit a baby seals throat and rode to the store on a giant aerosol can!
@@CriscDogs22 the nw 23rd location has paper bags zupans tend have fxckn snobby employees with asshole attitudes though you better off going to market of choice or newseasons both much friendlier😊
This occurs a lot in service positions or 👮🏻♂️ type events. Another person shows up(or a mgr, supervisor) then acts "concerned" but is really there to assist-confirm the acts of the employee/deputy-officer.
I was a cashier at an organic store when this came out and I couldn't stop laughing, same effect almost ten years later 🤣 at the time I would get annoyed whenever anyone forgot their bag and would tell me just like this guy so this is especially great lol thank you for sharing!
There is EXACTLY a guy like Fred at whole foods ringing people up. He was probably a philosophy major at Yale and he laughs at people just like that. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Which is funny because most of these people are some of the most over consuming wasteful POSes I ever met. Cars smh. Trees are renewable just like any crop and paper is easily recyclable, biodegradable, and mulchable. Makes no damn difference. Kick my cycling shoe up their ass.
Reminded me about this bit from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "He saw the bulldozer driver's union representative approaching and let his head sink back and closed his eyes. He was trying to marshal his arguments for proving that he did not now constitute a mental health hazard himself. He was far from certain about this his mind seemed to be full of noise, horses, smoke, and the stench of blood. This always happened when he felt miserable and put upon, and he had never been able to explain it to himself. In a high dimension of which we know nothing the mighty Khan bellowed with rage, but Mr. Prosser only trembled slightly and whimpered"
Yeah I-I-I don't- I don't get in my car and forget the car and drive down the street like running down the street going like this and then park it and then put it in park and then lock the door....
San Jose, Santa Clara, Pleasanton....I've lived in the Bay my whole life (Berkeley, San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose) and I recently moved out to the FAR east bay out near Concord AND WE DONT HAVE TO PAY FOR BAGS OUT HERE!!! It's 10 cents a bag everywhere else in the Bay Area. FASCISTS.
That's sooo true, Sophie. The politically correct crowd believe that they're so "progressive" but in reality they're some of the most sanctimonious, self-righteous, intolerant fascists you'll ever come across.
In Germany, it is illegal to give customers plastic bags for free. They have to charge at least 10 Cent. I was annoyed at first but it works well. Paper bags have become more common because they are equally expensive as the plastic ones and far more people are carrying their own bags, now.
the no bag policy is stupid. I use plastic bags from the supermarket as garbage bags. So if I didn't use them, I would still be using other plastic bags for the garbage. They tried to start charging 5 cent for plastic bags at my food store a number of years ago, but eventually they did away with the policy.
This is why I leave my bags in my car and when I get home, hang my bags on my front door knob, so I remember to put them back in the car, after I am done. I will not be a victimized ever again!
To the contrary, places like Portland have invited them in. SF gives cash, food stamps, and free meals, and it doesn't prosecute junkies who shoot up right out in the open. And now they have a lot of homeless junkies. Who would've thought that could happen?
"Didn't you date a girl with a bag?"
"Yeah, but I can't call her"
She got the protective order for 3 years.

I'll bet a million dollars this has really happened in Portland.

Used to live in Seattle for a few years. This shit happened in front of me at Trader Joe's. It's all about the feelings.

The middle eastern music they play when he shuts his eyes to recall if this situation has ever happened before cracks me up every time!
me too. I wish they expanded on it with flashbacks or something.
it's from homeworld.
Because it reminds these liberals nutjob of home in the middle east.
Racist
Cris Yorke, you might want to get a translator because your comment is complete and utter gibberish. Completely nonsensical. Incomprehensible.
"Meano no bring bags" is a phrase I randomly utter around my house for no reason and no explanation. My wife and kids are sure I'm crazy.
Jamison Ashley Films same every so often I think about that hilarious moment in this video and that phrase gets stuck on a loop in my head
Aye carumba
It’s my favorite line in the whole show.
And his repeated response in utter astonishment, "Me no no bring bags??"
Your not alone
“Well I’ll tell her ☺️” hahaha love that part 😂
Uh, we have a................................................. man
He totally just assumed the man's gender.
That's funny as hell.
@@hamletgiragosian6147 He actually didn't. He waited for the guy to tell him his gender. That's actually preferable to assuming.
The 'these are 3 for 1' line was perfect.
LOL, Carrie's passive-aggressive customer-service-faux-friendly "HIIiiiiIII!" is pitch-perfect!
I got alot of that in Portland.

My manager is exactly like that lol
Double polo shirt
Art Silva lol!
Gotta outdo Johnny 2 hats
Forbidden combo
this skit deserves its own show .
Fred's Fucking smug ass smile the whole skit kills me 😂
😂
We're learning from this too 🤣
The sound design of this show just makes it 10x more interesting haha!
The way he repeated “mean-o no bring bags” was hilarious
I always thought that it was "me no no bring bags" but "meano" is funnier 🤣
That was ad lib 😘. I do security 👮🏻♂️ & its hard sometimes to avoid sarcasm, humor in some situations.
I was a cashier at an organic store when this came out and I couldn't stop laughing, same effect almost ten years later 🤣 at the time I would get annoyed whenever anyone forgot their bag and would tell me just like this guy so this is especially great lol thank you for sharing!
When he closed his eyes LMAO that one got me
The exaggerated crunchy sounds of his groceries at the end and the cymbal crashing are these little details that make this show so much funnier
“These are three for one.” Nope, just the one. 😂
This never stops being funny
There is EXACTLY a guy like Fred at whole foods ringing people up. He was probably a philosophy major at Yale and he laughs at people just like that. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
“I just can’t get over this” 🤣🤣🤣
Fred's sideburns, so ridiculous.
I wish I had them......
Fred’s weird smile and demeanor is just too fucking funny
Also could be Boulder, CO - the bags are 10c each, but the condescension and hatred is free!
Lol at the self checkout in Safeway you can steal bags
Lmao

i literally got in this fight with a Boulder whole foods clerk who wouldn't give me a paper bag for a $30 birthday cake.
I like how he actually seems quite hurt by their lack of compassion for him. He almost seems like he's about to cry. That's good acting!
That's the actor from NBC's 30 Rock sitcom. He was excellent on the show.
he always sounds like that
Portlandia needs more skits like this
Kenneth should have taken off one of his two shirts and used it like a bag.
Yes!
i bet they ad lib like crazy "these are 3 for 1" LOL

We have a "Meano-No-Bring-Bags" up here on Aisle 2... XD
my local grocery store doesn't even have carts or baskets, got rid of them at the same time as disposable bags and Im like, why? those were reusable
They dont want clean 🧼 or disinfect 🛒 them. 😷 My nearby Aldi cant even wipe, clean the check out belts, mats 😖.
Fred Armison is incredibly dood at making you want to punch him in the fucking face. I love it.
Someone somewhere should make a compilation of Fred Armisen middle eastern music moments 🤣
Hahaha I didn't know there were more than this one 😂😂😂
Yeah I-I-I don't- I don't get in my car and forget the car and drive down the street like running down the street going like this and then park it and then put it in park and then lock the door....
The middle eastern music is such a good touch.
I just can't get over this!!

lol this show rules
+Malcolm Nicoll Also Montgomery County, MD, Takoma Park, Bethesda...
Just liberals...
Fred's slightly menacing "How are ya?" off the top hits the precise tone.
"You know these are three for one?" 😆
"Me no no bring bags" cracks me up every time!
This is the case in UK and Bulgaria every day
JACK! i started watching 30 rock after i finished portlandia so i didn't know jack mcbrayer, i love him, fred, and carrie!!! gah!!!!
He's remembering from the war.
"mean-o, no bring bag!?!?"
HAHA So great.
I'm a Taliban and I find this hilarious.
😅👍
“Are you ok?” 🤣😂
Fantastic show. A shame we'll only have one more season.
Shopping in Northern California actually be like this
Ah man that condescending smile is soo good
South Pasadena, California 100%
“We have a.......” “Man”
Fred's smarmy condescending tone & demeanor is how Orlando.gov 👮🏻♂️ treat people at scenes.
those fucking sideburns coupled with Fred's smile are KILLIN me!
jacks wearing 2 collared shirts
J Bone omg I didn't notice that lol
This is how they treat working class people in Palo Alto
He never pays, so he should probably just drop it all and leave anyway. :)
This exact same thing happened to me at Trader Joe's...
Love you guys!!
didnt you date a girl with a bag once?
..i ca..i cant call her...😅
You don’t have your bag? Lol that fucking smile Fred has hahahah
anyone got a link to that Middle Eastern/Indian music when Fred closes his eyes?
2re702QU6Ls
Ive been trying to locate this type of music for 8 years now
Eric Hasegawa what? that doesn't exist
That's not the original source, just something it was sampled in: soundcloud.com/neelv/neel-v-sheek-kebab
Bobby Greene it's called shazam
"Its a lesson for us all" the passive aggressiveness is so cute💅🏻
“We are learning from it, too.” Murder. Lol
Something like this actually happened to me when I went to a grocery store in Portland
I never buy more than I can hold with my two hands. It's a good budgeting strategy.
Me too. Kinda sucks that I have to drive to the supermarket every couple of hours, but at least I'm saving the environment by not using a plastic bag.
@@runi5413 lol for a second I thought you were serious
I'm pretty sure that tiny clip of music is actually from the game Homeworld.
I am going to make some sea otter hide bags, lined with mink for my next visit to Oregon to see how that goes over lol.
this show is the best!
It had 8 seasons. IFC. 📺. I thought the theme was made for Portlandia but it's a full song by a techno band...
This definitely needed more middle eastern music scene time
Fred's far away gaze...whats he thinking? 😂
I'm so glad I found the full skit
This scene somehow reminds me of this scene in Idiocracy when Not Sure appears in the hospital and does not have a tattoed number.
It's all here. Nothing was cropped.
This show is fucking addictive.
I watched the first 2 Portlandia seasons over 5 10hr shifts in 2013.
This supercedes therapy for me.
That Middle-Eastern music hahaha! It gets me every time.
It's Hindi.
+Aimal Ghafoor (bas3g0tm0n99) Oh yeah, you're right; it does sound Hindi now that I think about it. 😎
Nadia Khoshaba its indian music.
I've never been to Portland they are proud of being weird. This is a funny show.
That Zupan's Market is no longer there. Must have been their bag policy, lol.
Note to self always bring a bag to share with someone who forgets theirs when shopping at a snobby grocery store
I keep coming back to this just to see Fred's face with the middle eastern music lmaoo
does anyone know what that arab music and deja vu thing is a reference to? I've seen it in a few places.
I've been looking for the same thing - too funny.It sounds Indian or Asian.
That must be Indian classical fusion music played on either shehnai or nadaswaram. Shehnai & nadaswaram are musical instruments, BTW.
Sheek Kebab by Neel V
Ever played Homeworld?

I thought he was visualizing all the trees that were slaughtered to make the paper bags when Indian music plays.
Me no no bring bags
*meano no-bring-bags
Ever since I got a bag, I've never forgotten it...
Because idk how to drive...
So I usually realize if I forgot it after walking out my yard.
We have a....
"MAN!!!"
Those sideburns piss me off so much.
That’s Portland for you!!!!!
Diego541 that's why I live in Vancouver WA and rarely cross the river...
What's that music when Fred closes his eyes?
2:24 me when I see an incoming call
"Oh, maybe you can help me"
I lived in a loft above this actual Zupans in Portland. They prefer you bring a bag but they actually do have paper bags.
Did anyone else notice Fred's side burns peeling off at the top

Anybody know where that middle eastern sound clip is from? Or where can I find it?
puroFranco17 its indian music
"I'll tell her" hahahahahahaha ugh
In England we've got a 5p bag tax, and it fucking works! It's a great idea
This is why I leave my bags in my car and when I get home, hang my bags on my front door knob, so I remember to put them back in the car, after I am done. I will not be a victimized ever again!
My damn jaws hurt from CTFU 😂 she said we have a#meanolddon'tbringbag!!💀
Meanwhile the homeless that have been gentrified out by this store’s clientele surround it suffering and ignored
As long as we have no bags, suffering will be tolerated!
What's the solution?
