Bored to Death Hipster Quotient: 'Are You Dating Kevin Bacon?'

Yes, Kevin Bacon and Zach Galifianakis did have a conversation about a fictional superhero who uses his penis as a weapon in last night's episode of Bored to Death, "Forty-Two Down." As per Bored to Death's hipster tradition, the odd pair did so while sipping Stella Artois long necks in a Brooklyn bar, wearing carefully appointed second-hand clothing and perusing homemade comics. Continue ahead to see how this indie field day affected this week's Hipster Quotient.

OVERALL: As a Hipster Quotient rule of thumb, any episode that includes the ageless insight, "I'm not happy unless I'm stoned," an anecdote about separating from your shadow while high and Zach Galifianakis punching Kevin Bacon in a Brooklyn bar is not only the hippest episode of the season, but also the best.
