Watch Glenn Danzig Revamp Fred Armisens Goth Style on Portlandia


Sometimes to have a good time, you have to dress a little lame, Glenn Danzig admits in a new Portlandiasketch, playing a mysterious Romanian beach attire guru who endows the bright path to goth Vincent (Fred Armisen).

I just dont know what someone of my look wears here, says a discouraged Vincent. But Danzigs character shows him the neon-colored light. The beach: it has its own expression; its own style. I have been collecting all these years. Let me share with you what I have found, he says, opening an ominous-looking trunk that seems like it could be full of human remains. Are you familiar with Billabong? Billabong: kinda fratty, but they pop.

Danzig, speaking in a thick Romanian accent, highlights an array of fun-in-the-sun choices: Shorts from Pac-Sun, maybe some Hurley, some more Hurley you can never have too much Hurley. Maybe some Quicksilver.

Portlandias latest episode airs Thursday, February 11th at 10 p.m. ET/PT on IFC. Louis C.K., Jillian Bell and Robert Smigel lead an eclectic group of actors, comedians and musicians appearing in the shows sixth season.The Flaming Lips made a January cameo in the seasons debut episode, playing rival bands the Flaming Lips Featuring Wayne Coyne and More Flaming Lips.
