Fred and Carrie Make a Portlandia Old Navy Ad, All Your Fears Confirmed

How deep is the deepest sigh you can sigh?

In case you had a shred of hope left that Portlandia was a cool indie show that hilariously celebrates Portland culture and champions our unique spirit—now, Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein are starring in an Old Navy commercial.

Old Navy is not locally sourced. Old Navy is not ethically made. Old Navy is not handcrafted. Old Navy is not Portland.

Still, everybody's got to get paid. Even Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Amy Poehler have participated in Old Navy's crass attempts to homogenize America.

The show returns in January. Start practicing your deep sighs and eye-rolls now.
