Mayor Adams—who plays the mayor’s assistant on Portlandia—shot this admittedly kind-of-cute promo video asking Emmy voters to show their support for the show, by “Putting an Emmy on It.” (I know… OUCH.) IFC is entering Portlandia and its creators Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein into categories such as “outstanding variety series,” “supporting actor/actress in a comedy series,” and “writing for a variety series.” Nominations will be announced on July 19, and the award ceremony drops on September 23.
OKAY, OBVIOUSLY WE ALL ALREADY KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS. However, I do have to say Sam’s argument for Portlandia’s nomination is compelling, if wrong to its very core. Watch, and let’s vote on what you think.
More importantly, let’s get Leverage and Grimm to cast Kyle MacLachlan as mayor. See @MayorMacLachlan on Twitter. NOTHING COULD BE MORE IMPORTANT.
Put a hand-knitted hemp-fiber Timbers-colors-in-organic-dyes sock in it, Sam.
At first I read “outstanding variety series” as “outstanding vanity series.” Do they have a category for that?
Hey, how about a story about the Mayor doing his job? Oh, never mind, who are we kidding?
YOU HATE THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE MOCKING YOU AND YOU ARE A THIN-SKINNED EFFEMINATE GINGER DOUCHE
No matter what Mayor Adams says, it pretty much registers as ” Please punch me in the face”. I don’t know if that’s just me.
