Sweet, a hilarious new Brokelandia from the cool people over at Brokelyn. This second episode of what I hope will be an ongoing series takes on the Brooklyn neighborhood name game, the G train, the East River Ferry, I think, and juicing parties. They also come up with a few new BK neighborhoods, namely, Mama Jumbo, which is “made up of all the rooftops of all the buildings in Dumbo,” and a new industrial area called Barackabilly. Classic. Now I want other cities to join in the fun. Here are cities semantically ripe for spin-offs: Oaklandia, Orlandia, Chicagolandia. And, I can’t think of anymore. Enjoy the show.

(Also, check out the article that Eric Silver — cowriter and co-star of this episode — wrote for us back in January.) TC mark

    Are the guys who produced Portlandia involved in this or something? Mucho confuso about how much it’s like Portlandia.

       Nope, we’re not affiliated with Portlandia. I’d call it a loving tribute/spin-off. Hopefully this isn’t TOO MUCH like Portlandia…we’re going for a similar aesthetic, but you know, Brooklyn topics and our own jokes. Thanks for watching!

        Ahhh cool! Well, well done. Definitely get the Portlandia aesthetic for sure. I enjoyed the skit, keep it up! :D

    Can I call dibs on Chicagolandia? Oh man.

    With all due respect: really? Writing a TC article has been reduced down to throwing a Youtube link up?
