Hipster Olympics

do people really try and act like that?

they are quite prevalent in the Cape Town city bowl as well.

A PORTLAND EPIDEMIC!!!

Oh Ryan, why haven't I seen anything else from you in the past year?

Haha great video, awesome job You know i wonder how many "hipsters" watched this video and thought it was soooo funny because of there denial.

Nail on the head!

Hipster=Pretentious Egocentric Needy Twit with nothing genuinely interesting about themselves.

Hence, all the titles of "indie" movies, books, bands, and shows on their myspace or facebook. Oh, oh and photos of just themselves.

Ha, ha this was great! I loved the off-the-cuff comedy.

OMG they're already in Houston!!!!

This was outstanding!
"Reticent air of superiority..." Priceless!

I lived in the East Village for the past 8 years, and just recently had to get the hell out of NYC because people like THIS took over. So obnoxious... so apathetic... so snotty...

Watch out, my fellow native new yorkers! The hipsters are coming to eat you!

Sorry, one more thing. SNL can learn a thing or two from current. Can I get an amen?!!

Hey Kent, the bike shows up in the first 10 seconds. You must be a hipster to take offense. Man get a sense of humor.

OH Yeah Man! Finally this country gal knows what I'm lookin at when I walk down the streets of Austin, New Orleans and Houston. Do they even know they are hipsters? Hmmmm Funny, be cool by being uncool! I always knew that was a hell of a sham. Too funny!!!!

I saw this probably a year or so ago.
I wish Current would show the entire thing [which is on youtube but the quality is so bad you can barely read the spotlight bios on the bottom]- I think it's missing "Mirror Time" and the "Music Collection Bragathon".
But I especially have always loved the end, and like to quote some of those lines in the snarkiest tone possible.
Hobos are the new unicorns.

I love this, a great tribute to Upper Class Twit of the Year

I was gonna blog about this...if I blogged...which I don't...unless this counts...which it doesn't. *sniff*

-No tattoos on "actors"
-"Actors" way too fat
-The guys lacked proper mustaches
-The "targeted" person lacked a polo shirt, or ANYTHING to make him stand out as a target
-Nobody has a messenger bag. Did you forget about bikes?

Basically, the creator of this pod is a bit out of touch with the actual hipster community. It could've been much better. The "lose the Oakleys" comment was good. That girl in the video portrayed nothing but a plain person that smokes too much. Also, that robot vs. ninja vs. pirate garbage is about 6 years old. Anyway... decent effort. Keep on trying.

I salute you my fellow Olympians! This looks like a sterling event. I particularly like the charming native costumes worn by your competitors.

very funny

This is just some really great social satire. Brilliant writing and clever ideas and observations. As an L.A. native, I can certainly identify. Extremely well-executed. Kudos.

This is really good stuff. The commentators are so fricking hilarious. "How does it feel to be disqualified so early on in the competition?.......Uh, I don't care. HAAAHAAA!

this hit the nail on the head. absolutely hilarious

liked it.... i was in williamsburg too...lol didnt notice any hipsters there but... they do got nice record stores and bars..

"SF hipster = the Mission"

hah! exactly. whenever i walk over to valencia i get to see them in their hipster lines at boogaloos, eating their hipster eggs and bacon.

god i hate hipsters.

I noticed this as a trend - dressing like a lead singer, all the behavioral manerisms, need to be connected and out there. Now it has a name I an can point them out to my wife. I am a fan.

this is very funny...and a very nice work around on the "non-fiction" requirements...hehe

Wicked funny. Great pacing, doesn't dwell too long on the joke, but definitely executes the parody very well. Really creative events and good observations of the characters. Whether you love or hate hipsters, everyone knows one and that's what makes this pod so good.

Amazing. I went to a "show" last night and this was the perfect antidote to that.

Brilliant. Hipsters, get over yourselves.

A friend of mine sent me this a few months ago as well and I was really surprised to see this on-air. It is great! Very well put together. The pace, the competition, the ridiculous-ness of the whole thing really engages you :)

That was cool. If your into that... I guess

lol I thought that was fantastic

Hilarious. I love it... um, I mean... whatever. I don't care.

This is phenomenal - THANKS!

I do have to say that brief but funny, bid about hipsters was very informative. Next they should do sceneXcore.
gotta love those cookie-cutter SceneGirls.

LoL !!! this was so0o cool & funny, 0o0o & might I throw in I love Williamsburg, the women Ouch ;p so beautiful (^...^)...... NY hipster = coolest.

LA hipster = echo park.
SF hipster = the mission.

this is so last year.

and still people have their little myspaces and facebooks, even funnier..

Funny stuff! I love mockumentaries!

a friend of mine sent me this a few months ago; i was surprised to see it on current the other day. it's almost as funny as the first time.

That was hilarious! I agree wtih Julie, I would watch "How To Spot a Hipster. And the varied hipster species -- what makes a New York hipster different from an LA hipster or the original hipster, the SF hipster?"

Love or hate hipsters (or both), this was hilarious. As someone who has lived amongst them in 2 different cities (but am unwilling, like the short suggests, to admit membership in the club...) this mockumentary really hits on what makes a hipster a hipster.

Best part: myspace profile picture commentary.

We all do it -- try to find the slightly sexy, yet funny, ironic, carefully unposed picture that we've spent so much time mulling over it's a complete joke.

Cheers to hipsters "hip" enough to make fun of themselves.

To use one of my favorite hipster phrases, "Suh-weeet!" This was funny with plenty of LOLs from the get-go. Creative, witty, a delicious send-up of a vaguely-defined group of people who are simultaneously cooler and more pathetic than the rest of us. Loved the "ironic" T-shirt contest and the judgment contest.
"If they only knew he was a 9-11 rescue worker!"
"Oh, they do."
Priceless!

Fun and entertaining. Now I want to see a pod on How To Spot a Hipster. And the varied hipster species -- what makes a New York hipster different from an LA hipster or the original hipster, the SF hipster? Please, someone make that pod. I would watch it.

HAHAH that was hilarious! I loved it, great official sounding voice over, the sound actually wasnt bad at all considering most of it was shot outside. Great idea!
