Bored to Death Hipster Quotient: 'Less Sundance Channel, Park Slope'

Bored to Death's detective hero had his fair share of hipster noir struggles in the latest episode, "The Gowanus Canal Has Gonorrhea!" After his co-op employee girlfriend dumped him, the mop-topped Jonathan Ames was kidnapped by two criminals in a zip car, and because this was Bored to Death, Jonathan's captors provided witty banter and a shoulder to cry. See how these moments affected this week's Bored to Death Hipster Quotient and remember, this week's unit of measure are hand held marijuana vaporizers.

Number of Bags of Pot Vaporized: 2. After finding out that he has stage 2 prostate cancer, George went home and vaporized two bags of weed, which left him incompetent to pull-off a hostage raid like the kind he tried to coordinate for his dear boy Jonathan.

Times That Jonathan's Hostage Situation Was Interrupted For Frank Discussions About Cancer: 1. After George told Jonathan over the phone that he was diagnosed with cancer, Jonathan's sympathetic kidnappers assured him, "Most cancer's treatable if it's caught in time. My dad had it. He's fine."

Dry Literary References: 4. While being held hostage, Jonathan started a conversation about Oscar Wilde with his captors as a means of distraction.

Number of Orange '70s Mercedes: 1. George's car/heist vehicle.

Confusion Over Iran/Iraq: 1. When a weapons expert played by guest star Patton Oswalt explained that George is buying the same light-weight protective gear that is used in Iran, Ray said, "Don't you mean Iraq?" To which Oswalt deadpans to his new Brooklynite friend, "A little less Sundance Channel, Park Slope."

Mentions of the Lindbergh Baby: 3. "Jonathan is not the Lindbergh baby," Ray told a concerned George as they race to find their mop-topped friend. "Well, to me he is," George replied.

Mentions of Tranny Chasers: 1. One of Jonathan's captors was also unlucky in love, but this is because he is a "tranny chaser."
