Every fan of the Battlestar Galactica reboot remembers when they knew they had a problem — the moment they realized they were fully addicted to the Syfy show.

Now the fine-tuned comedy minds behind Portlandia are putting that addiction into hilarious focus. In the above clip from a Battlestar Galactica-inspired episode, we see what happens when a Portland couple (played by series co-creators Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein) pop in a DVD of Ronald D. Moore’s brilliant sci-fi series.

Any nerd who ever put in that first DVD (or pressed “play” on that first episode stream on Netflix) knows exactly what happens next. The couple are rendered unable to move — immobilized by fear of walking away from the television. “I don’t remember the last time I got in the bathroom,” Brownstein’s character says part-way into the couple’s life-altering Battlestar marathon. “I … feel like I have a bladder infection, but I’m just going to get antibiotics after the next episode.”

The skit, from the cheekily titled “One Moore Episode” episode, hits on the addictive nature of Battlestar fandom so well it’s hard not to love. And while Portlandia — a sketch-comedy show largely focused on the hipper-than-thou denizens of Oregon’s uber-cool urban center — has always offered cultural commentary, this may be the most blatantly nerdy thing the show has done so far.

If only the episode had a Katee Sackhoff cameo. Then it would be perfect.

Portlandia returns for Season 2 on January 6 at 10 p.m./9 p.m. Central on IFC.
