I work construction, I've made the tape sound effect for 6 years, everyone on site thinks there's something wrong with me, only one other dude ever got the reference, we laughed so hard, it was a glorious moment.
6 years is a long time to keep working out a reference gag hoping someday someone would get it. I feel like you could have came up with new material in that time
@@avidadolares That’s precisely the beauty in it, though. The more obscure the reference is, the more rewarding it is when it finally connects with someone else. If it’s a reference that literally everyone will know, then there’s really no point or fun in it then.
I thought the sounds were just for comedic effect, until the ending when I realized the character was making those sounds because the machines weren't actually running, and because he'd watched dozens of woodworking videos, he knew what they were supposed to sound like when turned on.
I’m a generalist, or I guess a “builder” (woodworking, metal fab, and 3D printing) but I feel like this all the time whenever I’ve tried something new and it doesn’t work.
I once read a hilarious article about these old folks in New Zealand who have get-together’s to build each others’ coffins. They make a fun party of it. I thought it was an awesome idea.
I am a carpenter by trade and have timbered two caskets. I have to say, honestly, none the women I brought back home was overly impressed by her possible future casket.
Oh I need Carrie singing that song. Then maybe the jewelry lady (Carrie's sister?) and furniture guy can get together as a couple and open a store. "They're selling trinkets now".
I also thought that was fucking funny and the highlight of the episode UNTIL he dragged out all that lame 'furniture' he made! THAT'S when I really lost my shit! LOLOLOL!!!
Has a kid I was working at a ship yard and the owner asked me to build some shelving for the warehouse. He took me over to a pile of scrap wood and 2×4's and just let me have at it. I build the most stupendous hunk of crap shelving. It was sturdy has hell, probably way over built, but wobbled and looked horrible. But he still used it! I was embarrassed every time I walk passed it. I look back and think it was actually a test. I still had a job so maybe he thought I showed promise or he was too kind to can my ass over a bad shelf project.
Vilm Films FYI, it's "FYI". There is no FIY. Hmm. I'm not a carpenter and the 12 people who liked the comment aren't either probably. But, I listen to Adam Carolla's podcasts including Ace on the House, so let me try again for you. Circular saw? Radial arm saw? Close enough I hope.
This reminds me of so many people who started woodworking during the pandemic. At least they have end-grain cutting boards and epoxy pours down, though.
Lmfao This is so funny to me because my dad is actually a real life 'furniture guy' He built our house and a lot of the furniture in it, he's bad ass 😆👍🏻
This is brilliant on so many levels. I love how it mocks the idea that we assume manhood means a man being good at woodworking, and the woman only appreciating it cause of the net result, but because he's not good at it, he is somehow not a man anymore. Pretty dark
Love this sketch. I met so many faux manly men in San Francisco when I lived there that just turned out to be good for nothing hipsters. Mostly repping a hobby like they were real tradesmen. You could always tell by the hands. Also met a lot of folks who had all sorts of nautical tattoos- tall ship chest pieces, compass stars etc. trying to look like weathered adventurers who have never been anywhere. They usually attracted the same type of women though- faux artists, trust funders and the like.
Good sound effects. Sounds like the noises coming from our garage, except that real furniture comes out of there. Now do a compressor, and don't forget to shout, " ?&*! Honey, I gotta go back to Home Depot!"
Every joke is a "shared grievance" and if you look deeply into this one, we can see the tragedy that in modern life, men have lost their connection to building, construction, self-reliance, and carving out a space and making a nest for their family. When a man realizes the joy of engaging in these primal urges, it's often later in life and his attempts to connect with it are pathetic and jokeworthy. It's funny but it's sad, too.
I find it interesting that each episode belongs on a specific side of town or area... what's the rundown on Portland's different sides of town??? guess you would have to live there to understand.
I think it just points to the overall theme and premise of the show, in how the town is a character In of itself and all the quirkiness that occurs in it is tied into the essence of the setting. At least that’s my two cents.
This skit is extra funny to me. I used to work as a cook, and in that world, everyone fauns over 'masculine men' who do trade work. I then jumped into the trades, and my perspective changed and I realized being able to work with wood is like a normal human male thing, it's a life skill, it's like being able to swim. When I watch this video and it has fake noises for the tools, I feel like whoever wrote the script understands the coming of age tale of men quite well.
My wife has friends who one of their husbands was into woodworking. I got to know him a bit more and learned that he focuses on making tables. Dude eventually talked about it like it was sliced bread and acted like woodworking could empower everyone to take better control of their lives if they could build things by hand. He brought me in one day and it was nothing more than a hobby. It’s like when dudes start BJJ and all of sudden think they’re laid back, carefree, herb smoking surfers who think they’re playing intelligent chess with human bodies.
I feel like Fred learned to make really convincing woodworking sound effects and wrote this entire skit as a way to get them on TV
And thank goodness he found a marvelous way to share such a skill with all of us!
Definitely. Same with "the Californians" started with a bit about people giving directions
That tape measure one killed me lmao
Glad he did!
😂

The tape measure sound really got me.
When you realize that someone realizes your inside joke, Well, that’s a glorious moment.

I greatly admire your artistic integrity in this matter.
Legend has it, that he's now married to the girl who's making jewelry now
pretty smart skit but those power tool sound were the best lol
yes!!!
Fred.rrnvrvrrvvvrv!
I thought the sounds were just for comedic effect, until the ending when I realized the character was making those sounds because the machines weren't actually running, and because he'd watched dozens of woodworking videos, he knew what they were supposed to sound like when turned on.
@@WestOfEarth You were right the first time. Watch again and you can see the tools are indeed running.
@@trevorlambert4226 even the tape measure.
The sheer desire in that woman's voice as she fantasized about the building of things from cribs to couches to coffins was hilarious.
I've been a carpenter for 40 years and I'm laughing hysterically because it's all about me
Gosh why everything must always be about you?
My dad is almost 2 years being a carpenter and this is so him LOL
Because if nothing got done it wouldn't be all about him
I’m a generalist, or I guess a “builder” (woodworking, metal fab, and 3D printing) but I feel like this all the time whenever I’ve tried something new and it doesn’t work.
Fred is very convincing as a man
meh, I'm not convinced
Dude, Fred's cool. my girlfriend loves this skit.
Jasmine - And as a belt sander.
And your mother.
@@jonhohensee3258 and a tape measure.
the "it's a lavatory vanity box" line alone shows that fred is maybe the funniest person ever
Nah the tape measure sound does.
Portlandia skewers "Lumbersexual" before it even had a name.
my favorite sound effects are the saw and the tape measure going back in.hilarious.
That belt sander was spot on.
I nearly wet myself with the saw noise. They are such awesome idiots- i love it
“He could build our caskets ahead of time”
I wanna do that too
I once read a hilarious article about these old folks in New Zealand who have get-together’s to build each others’ coffins. They make a fun party of it. I thought it was an awesome idea.
I like the way the guy had to stop looking thru the camera to look at the poor workmanship. lmao
👌🏻
Like he couldnt believe it looked that bad lol
I am a carpenter by trade and have timbered two caskets. I have to say, honestly, none the women I brought back home was overly impressed by her possible future casket.
Well, they were probably weirded out you guessed their height and weight accurately....especially after their house keys went missing.
@@Ch50304 fuck, I didn’t consider that at all.
"It's not finished, I gotta varnish it"… BRILLIANCE!
"He's making chairs now!"
Oh I need Carrie singing that song. Then maybe the jewelry lady (Carrie's sister?) and furniture guy can get together as a couple and open a store. "They're selling trinkets now".
This is one of the best portlandia skits
This sketch is multi-layered perfection in 2 minutes (& 10 seconds)!!
1:18 the way he captured the harmonics of a power drill burrowing through wood is truly beautiful!
This is one of my favorites. Every time I meet a man who said he woodworks I send this to him lol
As a fellow woodworker, I confirm this is how all handmade furniture comes out.
Would have been a pretty okay skit if it wasn't for the man made sawing sound effects. Those had me in tears laughing.
Yeah it would have been pretty boring with out them.
I came here for the sound effects hahaha
Had to pause this cause I couldn't stop laughing at the power tool sound lmao
I also thought that was fucking funny and the highlight of the episode UNTIL he dragged out all that lame 'furniture' he made! THAT'S when I really lost my shit! LOLOLOL!!!
Fred's sound fx is truly the peak of his talents, dear god 😂

@Bønzëaux Błëuxgrēn very french
The dubbing of the power tools makes this so hilarious
Hahaha, brilliant. My mate is a carpenter and can make practically anything, girls fall at his feet. The bastard. Fred, i'm more like Fred.
I couldn't stop laughing 😂 OMG so original.....he could build your whole house, and then the furniture in the house, and then your casket
This is the new hipster. So true.
This is easily my favorite sketch on the show
Fred's table saw sound effects!!
Gangrene Vagina FIY there is no table saw in there
Vilm Films
FYI, it's "FYI". There is no FIY.
Hmm. I'm not a carpenter and the 12 people who liked the comment aren't either probably. But, I listen to Adam Carolla's podcasts including Ace on the House, so let me try again for you. Circular saw? Radial arm saw? Close enough I hope.
yeah that is what its called, I didn't want to sound rude because its hard to tell attitude in text
+Gangrene Vagina Please don't be offensive to Yoda
I loved the woodworking sound effects.
The sound he made when the tape rolled up is the best
I made a table when I was about 9. It was approximately that stable.
The sounds!! I am DYING!!!
RIP
this skit speaks to me on a spiritual level
This reminds me of so many people who started woodworking during the pandemic. At least they have end-grain cutting boards and epoxy pours down, though.
haha, I didn't see that ending coming. Brilliant.
I need a casket after seeing that chair.😂
I need to start making furniture. Maybe then I can grow a decent beard.
And get a really cool chick
This deserves so many more likes
This is so fricking true.
From the first second comedy gold. Love the photo they used of him. Hilarious!
Lmfao
This is so funny to me because my dad is actually a real life 'furniture guy'
He built our house and a lot of the furniture in it, he's bad ass 😆👍🏻
... of course he had a girl friend
@@conradmaclean4073of course… 🙄

It makes sense, I mean, we're not that removed from 20,000 years ago when not being able to build a hovel meant you died in winter.

Did they hire M. Night? Because I was not expecting that ending.
Good sound effects. Sounds like the noises coming from our garage, except that real furniture comes out of there.
Now do a compressor, and don't forget to shout, " ?&*! Honey, I gotta go back to Home Depot!"
1:25 the dopey, hollow sound the chair legs make when hit the ground makes me laugh every time.
Given the state of manhood in Portland this isn't a bad starting point.
I actually thought that was Jon Hamm for a few seconds.
My favourite bit is the little "yay" right at the start

1:20 best part!
I need a vest rack.
I tried getting into the scene a while back but my furniture was too well-built and sturdy.
Your problem is, it lacked the sound effects.
So awesome. The power tools were a win.
That chair shook harder than me 30 seconds into a plank😂😂
Absolutely HILARIOUS!
So the guy who builds furniture is the new guy with long hair and an acoustic guitar?
I do woodworking as a hobby. I'm at my office and almost spit my drink out with the mouth sounds for the machines.
"Yes, please!"
Those sound effects nearly choked me to death.
I find it interesting
that each episode
belongs on a specific
side of town or area...
what's the rundown
on Portland's different
sides of town???
guess you would have to live there to
understand.
I live here and I don’t understand it
I think it just points to the overall theme and premise of the show, in how the town is a character In of itself and all the quirkiness that occurs in it is tied into the essence of the setting. At least that’s my two cents.
am i the only one who checked my tabs after heard that sound effect?
As a man who has never done woodworking this is hilarious
The confidence he tried to display while his foot was on the wobbling chair was so damn hilarious
Caleb is an inordinately popular name in Portland
He should be making jewellery now...
The most masculine man in Portland. Yeah...that seems about right.
the cringe was so real when he took out his furniture.
RIGHT?!?! LOLOLOL!!!
1:46 brownsteins face makes me never wanna disappoint her

He brought me in one day and it was nothing more than a hobby.

Literally quit my job 5 years ago to make wood chairs
Carrie's "writer / agency" outfit...with the bolo. So true.
i think men will watch this and not get it
Neither of my roommates got it.
We like the part where he makes funny noises.
I am a man. I build houses (not furniture). This is hilarious. Only a vagina would assume that.
I watches this bc my husband is making furniture now and hates his day job... i hope this isnt my future
that chair is the best depiction of fragile masculinity
HAHHAHHAHHAHhAHHHAHhahh. That chair and vest rack.
Those tool sounds tho xD
If that’s the type of craftsmanship it takes to be a man, then I’m almost a man!
My name is actually Caleb, and I do (sometimes) actually build furniture... At least I can stand on mine without it collapsing!
+Paul Todd lol
The “yay” at the beginning lol
The woman in the purple dress is absolutely gorgeous.
The first shot of the cheer is so funny, then putting his leg on it. I died laughing.
Never watched this but laughed my ass off at the chair he carried out.
When he starts to flex at the very end it's just like the cherry on top of this already amazing skit
A GREAT EPISODE
He's making furniture now...
God is love.
This show is bananas and I love it
Nailed it.
Fred is so hilarious....!!!
My God I miss this show
hahaha - best two minutes of my week (that's what she said) - too funny!!
BUT WHY DOES THE SAW SOUND LIKE DOODLEBOB
A man may work with wood, but that doesn't make him a woodworker haha
omfg making the wordshop noises by himself is fucking hilarious !!
1:18 That's how all of my tape measures sound.
Hilarious show, I freaking love it
You'd think all these males would be extremely triggering
