In Portlandia season 3 episode 3 titled "Missionaries," Fred and Carrie encounter two Mormon missionaries who have just arrived in Portland. Rather than immediately dismiss them, the duo decides to learn more about the mission and proceeds to invite the two young men into their home.

Throughout the episode, Fred and Carrie's interactions with the missionaries are both humorous and thought-provoking. They make fun of the typical missionary attire, but also engage in deep conversations about faith and spirituality.

Meanwhile, other characters in Portlandia are also dealing with their own beliefs. A group of cyclists starts a cult centered around a bike seat, while a group of waiters begin worshipping a disgruntled customer who constantly complains about the restaurant.

As the episode progresses, Fred and Carrie's opinions on the missionaries begin to shift. They initially view the mission as an intrusive and outdated practice, but start to appreciate the sincere enthusiasm the young men have for their faith.

Overall, "Missionaries" is a funny and clever take on the intersections of faith and culture. It highlights the absurdity of religious, or spiritual, beliefs while also showing respect for sincerity in those beliefs.
