Ahead of Portlandia Season 6, a new series from Portlandia and Subaru was revealed by the name of 'Talkative Driver.'
In the series, Fred Armisen takes on the role of a driver for Uber-like rideshare service 'Convo' and has hilarious exchanges with the passengers he picks up and transports. In one of the episodes, Armisen's character picks up a French passenger who has trouble communicating his desired destination to the driver.
Since Subaru has been sponsoring Portlandia since its first season, the partnership is carried out between seasons through these entertaining shorts, which were specifically written specifically for the car company. As well as being comical to watch, many passengers and drivers will find the situations in this series relatable.
