Portlandia creators and stars Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein have teamed up with longtime partner Subaru for a four-part Web series tied to their hit IFC show. In "Talkative Driver," Armisen plays an unusually chatty car service driver discussing his every thought with increasingly impatient passengers.

Subaru, which has been a partner since the debut of Portlandia in 2011, has been integrated into the show since Season 2.

"This year we wanted to evolve the partnership a little bit," said Blake Callaway, evp of marketing and digital media at IFC.
