Key & Peele is a Peabody Award winning sketch comedy show starring Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele from the FOX sketch show MADtv (1995). The show was the first production of Peele's newly founded production company Monkeypaw Productions, and premiered on January 31, 2012 on Comedy Central. In terms of format, it brings to mind a mix of Chappelle's Show and the last two seasons of MADtv.It ended on September 9, 2015 with a total of five seasons.Following the completion of the series, the pair produced the film Keanu together in 2016, which is usually considered an expansion of the themes present within the show.

Retired Badass: "Retired Military Specialist" starts out like an '80s / '90s action flick, with a soldier tracking down a retired super-badass living in isolation. It turns out they don't want him for this mission, they just need him to recommend someone, at which point he claims to have been "talked into it" and starts trying to prove he's still got it.

Your Mom: In the "Yo' Mama Has Health Problems" sketch, a kid, played by Peele, won't stop making these jokes when the Indian doctor, played by Key, is trying to tell the former that his mother's medical condition is terrible. After the doctor rebukes him, the kid sincerely apologizes, admitting he was using humor to deal with the pain. At the end, the doctor himself makes this joke, giving an "Oh snap" after seeing the boy's shock.

Alternate Timeline: The "Family Matters" sketch. Due to Jaleel White being a psychotic, murderous psychic, Family Matters wound up lasting for another six seasons. It's worth pointing out that the sketch takes place in 1997, one year before Family Matters got cancelled in real life.

The Bully

comment
The Bully: Peele plays one that openly voices all of his problems to his victim (as does his father), with Key's character asking why he's so open with his issues and yet still a bully. To hear him tell it, he's afraid that introspection might make him dredge up even more morbid, deep-seated emotional problems.

Poor Communication Kills
 Key & Peele / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: The "Text Message Confusion" sketch shows a text message exchange that is interpreted as insulting by one side and casual on the other, which culminates in the former interpreting a meet-up at a bar as a challenge to a fight. This is subverted at the end. When the aggressor confronts his friend at the bar, he is enlightened when the latter orders a drink for him and no one is brutally murdered that night.

Framing Device: The first three seasons featured Key and Peele setting up the sketches in front of a live audience. Seasons 4 and 5 drop this and instead use scenes of Key and Peele taking an extended road trip through the desert, which ends up in the series finale as a Call-Back to the first episode's "I Said Bitch" sketch.

Ambiguously Brown: invoked Key, who is biracial. He uses it to his advantage, just like he did on MADtv. In fact, both Key and Peele were born from biracial families (half-black, half-white), but generally Peele tends to just play black characters, while Key has a wider range.note Mostly if he's not playing a black man, he plays Middle Eastern, Indian [both the Native American Indian and the "from India" Indian], and Hispanic.

Brutal Honesty: Zigzagged in "Apologies" where Key and Peele play two black men in a bar. While there, a couple of white patrons are so inebriated that they approach the duo and start apologizing to them for various things. At the end, when the bartender admits that black people makes him really uncomfortable, the men thanks the bartender for his honesty. "Sex with Black Men" zigzags this one with a vengeance. Done with Asians in "Roommate Meeting".

Funny Background Event: Of a sort, more like background commentary.

Captain Ethnic: Deliberately played with in "Power Falcons" — as Green Falcon notes, despite Key's character being an extremely stereotypical Magical Native American, he's still referred to "Yellow Falcon", while the Asian woman in the group is "Purple Falcon"; only Green Falcon himself is condescendingly referred to as "Black Falcon" by the others.

The Halloween Episode in Season 3 has a pile of 'em: "Roommate Meeting" pulls the round-table gimmick straight from That '70s Show with The Grudge thrown in. The zombie show that's filmed for over three years is most certainly The Walking Dead. "Continental Breakfast" is revealed at the end to be a reference to The Shining. The final sketch is this to Saw.

Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense
 Key & Peele / int_2b2abf36
comment
Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: Peele as Jaden Smith asks his agent in one sketch to try to get him a part that's not science-fiction, wanting to play a normal, down-to-earth role; the agent, in turn, offers him the lead in Street Ball, a drama about a poor kid who has to choose between pursuing his dreams as a basketball player or quitting to support his single working mother instead. To Jaden, the concepts of houses ("tiny mansions"), supermarkets ("mansions full of food" where "the butlers go"), working ("like [what] a maid [does]"), the outside, and being denied things are also sci-fi. Wendell has $15,000 to spend on "Power of Wings" but, instead of sensibly spreading out his budget to complete his project, blows it on expensive aerial shots and special effects and gets hosed by an actress who appears on screen for all of ten seconds.

Sophisticated as Hell

Sophisticated as Hell: The Obama & Luther skits. Especially when the dance was involved for the election celebration. "Movie Hecklers", where two guys begin loudly criticizing a horror film in the theater for its "inconsistent visual language", among other sins. Even the other patrons silently concede that they have a point: Key's inner school substitute teacher often goes through this into Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness. "Rap Battle Hype Man" ends with a simple black frame that says "Steinbeck, y'all!" Georgina and Esther, the two old church ladies who describe in the most profane terms all the filthy things they'll do to Satan... with their prayers. At the end of the sketch, Esther follows through on her threat to snap Satan's dick off during sex.

Discussed in one of the standup bits. Key and Peele apparently try out for this role a lot because neither of them make a convincing Scary Black Man, and thus end up with a set of oft-rehashed lines like "Aw HELL naw!" and "Y'all two clearly like each other!"

Magical Negro
 Key & Peele / int_32cb267a
comment
Magical Negro: "Magical Negro Fight" focuses on two black men using magic to fight for the right to help a white man with his marriage problems. At the end, they actually drop both trope names — "There can be only one Magical Negro!" — and have a Beam-O-War. They both die. Then a black woman shows up and the white man mistakes her for a third one: "Auction Block" focuses on a old-timey slave auction where one of the slaves claims that he knows magic.

Suddenly Obvious Fakery: In one sketch, several friends having a party panic when they see what appears to be an incoming drive-by, when it's really an acquaintance pulling a prank. When Peele's character first shows up, he's in a black jacket and fancy car and drawing a pistol, but when his prank is revealed, the jacket is now made out of a garbage bag, the pistol is made of licorice, and the car is just one painted wood panel.

Pirate Girl
 Key & Peele / int_35e3383a
comment
Pirate Girl: "Pirate Chatney" featuring a (male) pirate crew singing a song that sounds like they're bragging of conquests, but the last line of each verse reveals them to be unusually enlightened in their attitudes towards women. For example, a verse about a woman who gets so drunk she passes out ends "so we took her to bed, and rested her head, and we left 'cause that's what gentlemen do". The last pirate to sing starts in on something that's clearly not going that direction, and he gets out about two lines before being shot dead by the (unseen before this point) female captain, of whom the other pirates are all visibly terrified.

Gun Rack claims it's all just a massive coincidence. The "bonus track" even reveals that his side girl is willing to take the fall for him, and predicts his quick re-capture.

Foregone Conclusion: Possibly. One of the earliest Meegan and Andre sketches, "Meegan Your Jacket", ends with Andre following Meegan with her jacket until they collapse in a desolate wasteland where several other boyfriends and their girlfriends have died a long time ago. And the last Meegan and Andre sketch has Meegan guilt Andre out of breaking up with her, so this could still play out.

Secret Test of Character
 Key & Peele / int_3f7a958b
comment
Secret Test of Character: In "Little Homie", a parole officer named Daniel Tate is communicating to a parolee named Clive through a puppet named Little Homie. Little Homie appears to have grown sentient, encouraging him to go back into crime, tossing him a weed cigarette (when Clive questions Tate, Tate says "I want you to clean up your act, but you're not talking to me right now, you're talking to Little Homie) and threatening to shoot Tate if he doesn't smoke it. When Clive calls his bluff, Little Homie shoots Tate, who collapses to the ground. Little Homie cleans off his fingerprints, tosses Clive the gun so his fingerprints get on it instead and asks him to be "in together on this" (probably to keep quiet). Clive stutters "Ok, Little Homie, yeah" At that point, Tate climbs up, informs Clive he failed the test and sends him back to prison.

Stylistic Suck
 Key & Peele / int_415b3315
comment
Stylistic Suck: The "Mr. T PSA" skit, complete with Spoof Aesops, deliberately bad acting from both Key and Kate Micucci, being shot on VHS tapes and an incredibly awkward Piss-Take Rap from Mr. T. Seeing how it's based off the memetic "Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool" tape, this is surprisingly accurate. Done with the College Bowl Rap Videos, after a bit where Key and Peele point out how football players can't really be rappers. Until Dan Smith starts tearing it up. Wendell`s "The Power of Wings" music video goes from an epic-looking tale of swords and sorcery to a cheap-looking backyard piece with no cast, crudely-made props, shoddy picture quality and rough sound. Even the plot gets worse, going from just being minimalist and familiar to downright cliche (the masked warlock that Wendell fights is revealed to be his doppelganger). "Strike Force Eagle 3: The Reckoning" is a parody of late 80's/early 90's low-budget Direct to Video action movies/vanity projects.

Paper-Thin Disguise
 Key & Peele / int_48b9731f
comment
Paper-Thin Disguise: In "Das Negros", Key and Peele plays as two World War II African American pilots who hide in a town occupied by the Nazis by using whiteface. Despite how obvious it is to the audience, the disguise works as the Gestapo agent searching for them is fooled and believes they are white Germans. One Save the Children ad has the host (Peele) ask the audience to buy fake beards for African kids so they won't be kidnapped and forced to become child soldiers. And despite how silly it sounds, the disguises work when a warlord (Key) and his militia try to find more children to kidnap and become child soldiers but only found "old people" instead, a.k.a. the children wearing fake beards.

In "Substitute Teacher Pt. 1", the titular teacher has spent his entire career teaching in the inner city, so he assumes every name is like this, confusing his new class of suburban white kids when he calls out names like "J-Kwellen" (Jacqueline) and "Balakay" (Blake). When the kids correct his pronunciation, he assumes they're trying to play a joke on him because nobody could ever have such silly-sounding names. With each correction, he becomes increasingly enraged and hostile, demanding that the kids stop screwing around and say their names "correctly", which culminates in him sending a kid to the principal's office. Finally, he calls out one last ghetto-fied name... and the only black kid in class responds immediately, because it actually is his name:

Surprisingly Creepy Moment: A notable number of skits racket up the absurdity before the punchline takes it to some kind of horror: The end of "Damn, Check That Shit Out" is a good example — the very last moments of a skit about two goofy guys ogling a woman at the park involve the guy who seemed not to be getting the other guy's sexual comments suddenly gaining a Voice of the Legion and Hellish Pupils as he thanks the other guy for explaining to him what a vagina is right before disappearing into thin air, leaving the other guy to freeze up before running off trying to process that he just talked to an undercover alien. "Ultimate Cockblocker" is probably one of the most notorious examples of this — it's goofy enough at first as Key's character can't understand how Peele's character always seems to be able to get to women he finds attractive within seconds of him expressing that he finds them attractive, and it's just wacky at first when this ends up extending to a reporter Key's character sees on TV and a stick doodle he draws of a woman... but then Key's character hugs his wife when she comes home, and catches a glimpse of what the reflection of that looks like...

And they all have wives who are white.

Gang of Hats
 Key & Peele / int_5bf69547
comment
Gang of Hats: The Tallahassee Black Republicans, who continue to insist, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that they're a diverse group. "Cult Mass Suicide" is about a Cargo Cult with every member in bowl cuts and the same yellow T-shirt with a big eye on it. Key and Peele play two members who chickened out of the ritual suicide, and try to disguise themselves with jackets over said T-shirts. It works, of course.

"Angry Black Man" Stereotype
 Key & Peele / int_5eb8a669
comment
In the "Dating a Biracial Man" sketch, Key plays a biracial man whose (white) date expects him to be able to use his white personanote Which she defines as polite and friendly. and black personanote Which she defines as an Angry Black Man. on cue depending on the situation. The sketch ends with him being very confused in terms of which persona he should use. He doesn't, however, ever question her right to demand this of him.

Taught to Hate: In "White Zombies", the Zombie Apocalypse takes a turn by most of the zombies, being mutated white people, still carrying their former selves' prejudices and thus avoiding black people rather than eating them.

True Art Is Incomprehensible: This sketch about Key uncovering Peele's audio journal, which sounds like some angsty social commentary with a heaping helping of weird-ass shit. "Dicknanigans", in which men in zentais pummel each others' balls while words like "SOCIETY", "CONSUMERISM", and "LOVE" flash on-screen, ending with the declaration that love can conquer all. The audience is enthralled.

On the West team, there's Huka'lakanaka Hakanakaheekalucka'hukahakafaka from the University of Hawaii, whose name and alma mater imply he's at least partially Native Hawaiian, and Benedict Cumberbatch from Oxford University, who's Black British rather than African American.

Shallow Cannot Comprehend True Love: In "Pizza Order", Wendell, a Basement-Dweller who doesn't want to admit he's ordering multiple pizzas all for himself, makes a phone call to a pizza place but pretends his various action figures are actually party guests at his home. The pizza clerk taking the order, Carlo, falls for his lie and tries to ask out "Claire", so Wendell tries to discourage him by coming up with shallow reasons for not dating her such as "her body is a 4" or "she's used goods". However, none of this deters Carlo, who launches into a heartfelt speech about how passionate he is for "Claire", so Wendell, realizing Carlo is genuinely in love with her, resorts to faking "Claire"'s death instead.

Prison Rape: "Lil Wayne in Prison" is about Lil Wayne, played by Peele, being followed by a film crew while in prison. He's in the showers when he drops the soap; the camera pans down to show that indeed happened; by the time the camera pans back up, everyone else in the showers is already surrounding him. Another sketch is about Peele as an inmate who's apparently gone through so much prison rape that he's pretty much catatonic:

The Whitest Black Guy: Since both leads are biracial, this winds up being a central element in several sketches: In the "Dating a Biracial Man" sketch, Key plays a biracial man whose (white) date expects him to be able to use his white personanote Which she defines as polite and friendly. and black personanote Which she defines as an Angry Black Man. on cue depending on the situation. The sketch ends with him being very confused in terms of which persona he should use. He doesn't, however, ever question her right to demand this of him. In the "Soul Food" sketch, the duo has returned to the neighborhood in which they grew up and is ordering lunch at a soul food restaurant. They are drawn into a game of one-upmanship to see who can make the "blackest" lunch order, culminating in their eating such "soul food" as possum spines, stork ankles, an old cellar door, and a human foot. Neither will admit to disliking the fare for fear of losing their street cred. One of the West Coast players introduces himself as "Benedict Cumberbatch - Oxford University" in a high-brow British accent.

Straight Gay: Peele's character in contrast to Key's Camp Gay character in "Office Homophobe." The realization of this for the latter has this last line: Samuel, Camp Gay LaShawn's husband, who also plays the Straight Man (ha-ha) to LaShawn's Cloud Cuckoolander.

Red Oni, Blue Oni: A majority of sketches will have Key playing the Red while Peele does the Blue. This is most evident in ones with Obama and his anger translator, Luther. Possibly lampshaded in that in the opening that they wear a red shirt and blue hoodie, respectively. Throughout the series it's done straight, exaggerated, inverted and subverted, totally played with in every way.

Chew-Out Fake-Out: Exaggerated in the "Gideon's Kitchen" sketch, a parody of Gordon Ramsey's Hell's Kitchen, has the titular host rapidly switch between insulting and praising his contestant's dish, much to the latter's confusion. Gideon goes back and forth multiple times, which culminates in him murdering the chef while praising his dish.

Bait-and-Switch: The "Bros Do It Together" sketch has two sweaty topless guys facing each other as they gyrate their hips, with one of them trying to avoid eye contact. The sketch ends with the reveal that they were trying to break a hula hoop record. The beginning sketch of "Parole Officer Puppet" has a news anchor talking about two men who were arrested for domestic violence. It's revealed at end of it that the anchor is actually the sportscaster. "Movie Hecklers" has Key as a guy in a movie theater who continually talks to the screen, saying things like "C'mon, man, what you doin', man, that's stupid," and getting louder and more obnoxious, to the annoyance of a guy and his girlfriend two rows ahead, who think he's just some loudmouthed idiot. Then Key says "Do not go into a crane shot right now!" and is joined by Peele, who calls out "This movie's got a [sic] inconsistent visual language!" The guy decides that they're actually making some good points, although when he tries to join in their cinematically erudite heckling, they're not happy about it.

Big Budget Beef-Up: Sketches like the Obama and Luther ones or "Roommate Meeting" only need one set, compared to "White Zombies" and "Alien Impostors", which not only use outdoor sets but have practical and special effects to boot. Some others like "Les Mis" and "Pirate Chantey" may use just one set, but the costumes and makeup are extensive to say the least.

Ignored Epiphany: When Mr. T is lecturing some kids about not making fun of a person's appearance, he never fails to overlook a more pressing issue that was brought up, such as racism or buying drugs. In "Wendell's Broken Superman Bed", Wendell yells at his Stimpy plush (which he's pretending to customer support is his son "Stimpy" that he ordered the Superman bed for) that he's throwing away all the figurines his "son" owns because they're not real people and he needs to stop being so lonely, clearly talking about himself. He seems shaken until the customer support, still on the phone, gently suggests that his son should talk to someone...and then Wendell throws the plush out the window and tells the customer support that "Stimpy" killed himself and he needs the new Superman bed order to remember him by.

Shoot Him, He Has a Wallet!: The "He's Got a Gun" sketch. The white police officer mag-dumps a black guy holding a popsicle, thinking he was about to pull out a gun. Then, two guys eating bananas, one black, one white, stumble onto the scene, and he shoots the black guy, after "warning" the white guy about the black man about to steal his banana. Following that, he comes across a gunman who's armed to the teeth, brandishing a shotgun, carrying a rifle on his back, and decked out with bandoliers of ammo...and the police officer just tells him to leave because there's a disturbance. The gunman promptly does so and stumbles into a black man holding a huge giraffe plushie, whom the officer does shoot, screaming that he's got a giant fuzzy gun. To top it off, he shoots his own police chief, because he thought his white foam coffee cup was a gun.

Continuity Nod: The College Bowl Rap Videos (and pretty much all the football-based sketches after that) bring back as many names from the 2013 College Bowl sketch as they can. For that matter, the name "Donkey Teeth" calls back to the "Soul Food" sketch. The "Sexy Vampires" sketch ends with the gothic vampire den remodeled into something more normal, including a TV with the regular "Metta World News" segment playing. The "Tackle and Grapple" coach looks like your regular sex maniac, but is later seen giving actual lessons in another sketch. Ty Burrell returns as "Jew Hunter" Muller in Season 4. Season 5 takes this up to Continuity Cavalcade levels, from the followup to the Retired Badass Wannabe to the return of the Continental Breakfast guy.

Giving Radio to the Romans
 Key & Peele / int_a8371e84
comment
Giving Radio to the Romans: In one sketch, "Congressman Peele" begs the other Founding Fathers not to sign the Second Amendment because of the potential for future massacres. When they laugh at his warnings, he announces he's actually from the future, draws a pair of MAC-10s, and blows away the Amendment and the table it's laying on to make his case. The MAC-10s disappear from Peele's hands in a flash of blue light, but when one of the Founding Fathers audibly expresses his amazement at the destruction wielded by the "muskets" and a second one pulls out a piece of paper to make a sketch of them before he forgets, a pair of nasty high-tech looking weapons appear in place of the MAC-10s.

And I Must Scream: Played for dark laughs in "LMFAO's Non-Stop Party", which is about LMFAO singing about partying nonstop. After partying for more than a week, they try to leave the party, only to find that every way out only leads back to the party and they're unable to escape. They eventually kill themselves to escape, only to be revived with the party starting all over again.

Or Was It a Dream?: In-Universe use of the trope — in "East/West Bowl Rap Showdown", the eastern team's rap video opens with Leoz Maxwell Jilliumz asleep on a bench and dreaming of the team dancing around and rapping as a framing device. At the end, he wakes up and mutters that it was All Just a Dream... before noticing he still has glitter in his hair, giving the obligatory "or was it?".

Be Careful What You Wish For

Be Careful What You Wish For: In one sketch, Peele plays a prisoner guarded by an incredibly gullible and slow-witted guard. When the prisoner tells him to let him out of the cell, the dimwit promptly complies (repeatedly). Alas the guard's colleagues aren't nearly as dumb and the prisoner is quickly re-captured each time. In fact, the guard even tries to help the prisoner escape a few times, but pulls the alarm — not because he's trying to sabotage the escape, but because he's just that stupid. Soon, the prisoner stops seeing these as opportunities but instead as tedious exercises in futility.

Ghetto Name
 Key & Peele / int_b240e89b
comment
Ghetto Name: All the names in their "East/West Bowl" sketches vary from this to outright being The Unpronouncable. And then there's the craziest one of all: Dan Smith, BYU. In "Substitute Teacher Pt. 1", the titular teacher has spent his entire career teaching in the inner city, so he assumes every name is like this, confusing his new class of suburban white kids when he calls out names like "J-Kwellen" (Jacqueline) and "Balakay" (Blake). When the kids correct his pronunciation, he assumes they're trying to play a joke on him because nobody could ever have such silly-sounding names. With each correction, he becomes increasingly enraged and hostile, demanding that the kids stop screwing around and say their names "correctly", which culminates in him sending a kid to the principal's office. Finally, he calls out one last ghetto-fied name... and the only black kid in class responds immediately, because it actually is his name:

Crazy is Cool: Invoked, deconstructed, and parodied in "Loco Gangsters" — when Carlito feels snubbed by the possible induction of Eduardo, an inhumanly fearsome and intense maniac, into the gang, he tries to prove he's the most loco instead; not only are most of his attempts (such as pretending to be a duck or wastefully collecting multiple punch cards for frozen yogurt) acknowledged as outright pathetic, but his efforts make Eduardo seem even more loco in comparison.

Political Overcorrectness
 Key & Peele / int_b6db5695
comment
Political Overcorrectness: Mocked in "Offensive Boss", where a company's vice president calls a gay man, a woman, and a black man into his office to help with a speech he is giving later. He asks them to raise their hands and say something if they find anything in his speech to be offensive. He can't even get a word in edgewise before they start jumping on him for interpreting everything he says as a personal attack. Mind you, this is all before he even gets to start his speech. When he finally does: The "Pirate Chantey" sketch plays with this a bit towards the end. The third verse on the song has one pirate talking about how his girlfriend was pregnant, making it clear that he wanted a child and using words like "child" and "heir" that suggest he considered the fetus a living person, and yet he still supported her decision to get an abortion. Though this becomes most egregious in the forth verse of the song; another pirate sings a song about a woman getting sick with a terminal illness and donating all her money to charity in an attempt to save herself, and ends the song with "But the scariest part of the story from the start is I bet you assumed the doctor was a man."

Shout-Out
 Key & Peele / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Ty Burrell as "Jew Hunter" Muller is most certainly one to Inglorious Basterds. At the end of the Hypeman sketch, they blatantly make one to Of Mice and Men, even ending the sketch with a black screen that simply said "Steinback, Y'all!" "It's like the old Mitt Romney went back in time to try and kill the young Mitt Romney!" After trolling some Republicans, Obama says, "Aren't I a stinker?" This may remind some of the opening for the Party Rock Anthem music video. In "Pussy on the Chainwax": After they name drop Game of Thrones, the "Sex with Black Guys" sketch starts with Key and Peele discussing "the huge woman" and "the red witch", which are most certainly Brienne and Melisandre. In fact, any skit where they are themselves has them talking about Game of Thrones as casual conversation. One of the Wendell sketches has him calling a bust of Elrond "Hugo" and a statue of River Tam "Summer". Peele's stoner gangster character keeps a rat he keeps calling Ratatouille. Not in a rat trap, but a ghost trap!. The Vincent Clortho magic school is named after The Keymaster in the original Ghostbusters. LA Vice anybody? The Halloween Episode in Season 3 has a pile of 'em: "Roommate Meeting" pulls the round-table gimmick straight from That '70s Show with The Grudge thrown in. The zombie show that's filmed for over three years is most certainly The Walking Dead. "Continental Breakfast" is revealed at the end to be a reference to The Shining. The final sketch is this to Saw. In "Laron Can't Laugh", the titular character wanders off while Leaving Earth plays. "Slap-Ass: In Recovery" gives one to, of all things, the very special "pill addiction" episode of Saved by the Bell. "Cat Poster" is one to Verbal Kint's interrogation in The Usual Suspects, right down to Peele's clothes, hair and speech mannerisms. invoked In the "Family Matters" sketch, "Steve Urkel" at one point says: "There is no Jaleel... only STEVE!". Later, when the actor playing Carl tries to shoot him, he says: "Yippie-ki-yay, motherfucker!". It gets even better when you remember that Reginald VelJohnson used to play a policeman not only on Family Matters, but in Die Hard and Ghostbusters too. The Michael Jackson sketch blends several of the late artist's signature songs: "Thriller", "Smooth Criminal", "Bad", and "Black or White". However, Noah runs them all together in a mishmash. Star Magic Jackson Jr. in "Gremlins 2 Brainstorm" is essentially Hollywood Montrose, gaudy elaborate sunglasses included. In "Fighting Meegan's Battles", an angry Meegan tells the bouncer who prevents her and Andre from entering a club that he looks like Common meets The Incredible Hulk and asks him what it's like to have bees coming out of his mouth (in reference to Tony Todd being a very tall man).

Rage Breaking Point: Mr. Williams in the fourth "Substitute Teacher" sketch. He starts out acting calm and laid-back. However, when one of his students, Jimmy, keeps misbehaving, Mr. Williams tries to humble him by putting him in front of the class. Jimmy just responds by imitating the sub, upon which Mr. Williams loses it in a furious imitation of Jimmy so over the top that Jimmy and the rest of the class are completely shocked and silent:

Dude, Not Funny!: invoked The comedian in "Insult Comic" bases his act around making fun of people in the audience. Unfortunately for him, one of them turns out to be a gay paraplegic burn victim with an electrolarynx. The comedian tries to avoid making fun of him. However, when he finally relents after being pressured to do so, the audience turns on him. An outraged audience member even brains him with a liquor bottle, which the crowd applauds.

In the "Soul Food" sketch, the duo has returned to the neighborhood in which they grew up and is ordering lunch at a soul food restaurant. They are drawn into a game of one-upmanship to see who can make the "blackest" lunch order, culminating in their eating such "soul food" as possum spines, stork ankles, an old cellar door, and a human foot. Neither will admit to disliking the fare for fear of losing their street cred.

Take Care of the Kids: Rashida Jones in "Lying to Your Dying Wife" plays a terminally ill wife in hospital, whose list of things she makes Peele's character promise to do includes this—and also slightly less reasonable things, such as that he'll never sleep with another woman, he won't look at porn and that he will never, ever think of someone else while masturbating. Peele character's increasingly absurd attempts to get out of promising to do these things irritate his wife considerably. When she asks him to promise to go and see her mom every day, he shouts "NURSE! FIX MY WIFE!" and bursts into tears.

The whole show runs on this (mostly of the "Let's see how far we can ramp up the insanity" variety, but they do dabble in the "Let's make light of something serious" variety of Refuge in Audacity), but nowhere more than the East/West Bowl sketch. And it's just a list of names. It starts with comparatively reasonable names like "D'Marcus Williumz", "T.J. Juckson", and "Ibrahim Moizoos", and gets to unbridled insanity like "X-Wing @Aliciousness", "T.J. A.J. R.J. Backslashinfourth V", "EEEEE EEEEEEEEE", "Torque [Construction Noise] Lewith", "[The Player Formerly Known as Mousecop]", and "Dan Smith from BYU". The 2013 season is even more ridiculous. There's names like Morse Code spoken in Morse Code, Harvard University,note from DeVry University Fudgenote just Fudge, no college, Firstname Lastnamenote from College University, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jammie Jammie-Jammie, A.A. Ron Balakay...

Hypocrite: In "Movie Hecklers", Key and Peele play two movie hecklers who shout criticisms at the movie as it is playing. A woman finds them annoying, while her husband does not mind as much, finding their criticisms to be insightful. When he briefly tries join in, he is then immediately hassled by a theater employee who tells him to be quiet. Who brought him to the employee's attention? The two hecklers. In the "Bagels are for Sales Associates Only" sketch, Ron is ordered by his boss (Rob Riggle) to make sure only sales associates take in free bagels. However, as Ron interferes with a janitor who tries to eat/steal a bagel, his boss complains to Ron for being too loud! In Andre and Meegan's final sketch, he tries to break up with her... and she ends up confusing him into taking it back by accusing him of being a manipulative and controlling snake. In the "Offensive Boss" sketch, the black man, woman, and gay man get offended by several things their boss says that they interpret as being attacks against their groups. But when he starts reading his dinner speech that he asked them to help with, they find it hilarious when he starts off with a joke about "a Chinaman, a Polack, and an Arab".

It doesn't help that Carvel has a huge lisp. Eventually Key just bursts out laughing, whereupon Carvel shoots him dead. There's a pause, then:

Key and Peele apparently try out for this role a lot because neither of them make a convincing Scary Black Man, and thus end up with a set of oft-rehashed lines like "Aw HELL naw!" and "Y'all two clearly like each other!" "A Capella": Parodied. Peele's character is the only black guy in an all-white a capella group, and he gets territorial when Key's character tries out. Later, Peele's character shows up at an all-white improv group Key's character has joined.

Brains Versus Brawn: In the "Super Bowl 2015" skit, Key and Peele play two sportscasters who invites a third white sportscaster to give his analysis on the upcoming Super Bowl match up between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.

When Key and Peele's characters ask him to describe then Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who is of mixed ancestry, he says "hybrid."

The Oner: The Tea Party "Chosen One" sketch. The "How Not to Remember Where You Parked Your Car" sketch appears to be an unbroken two-minute shot.

Space Whale Aesop: In "Consequences", former gang member Donnie Herrera talking to an auditorium at a high school. He tells them how he did bad things (stealing, hanging out with tough kids, smoking weed, etc.) followed by him dealing with the consequences of this. The problem though is that the "consequences" are so wild and unconnected with the deeds he is guilty of that nobody takes any of it seriously:

"Dicknanigans", in which men in zentais pummel each others' balls while words like "SOCIETY", "CONSUMERISM", and "LOVE" flash on-screen, ending with the declaration that love can conquer all. The audience is enthralled.

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything
 Key & Peele / int_ee7ed46e
comment
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: This is Carlito's problem in "Loco Gangsters". Fellow gang member Eduardo gets admitted to the gang because he does things that are legitimately loco, like break a bottle against his own forehead. Carlito's idea of being loco is to imitate a duck, or drop his shorts to his ankles. When he does attempt to break a bottle against his own head, it doesn't break; it just really hurts his head. When he uses a staple gun on his own hand, Key's character informs that that was loco, "but not in an entertaining way." Averted when Carlito plays with a gun and drops it on the floor, whereupon it goes off and shoots Eduardo in the head, whereupon an exasperated Key informs him that, yes, he is, "by process of elimination", the most loco guy in the gang. Cue tiny Fist Pump from Carlito—whereupon Eduardo leaps to his feet and reveals that he caught the bullet in his teeth. The others immediately declare that to be the most loco thing they've ever seen.

Stepford Snarker: Peele plays one in "That One Friend Who Makes Everything Awkward" and gets majorly dismantled by Key's character, right down to his true pitiful, sorry self — turns out he passive-aggressively snarks at everyone who expresses an unpopular opinion without ever being more direct because he's embarrassed that he doesn't have any strong opinions, himself, and just follows the herd.

Everything Is Racist: In "Office Homophobe", Latrell assumes that any problem someone has with him is because they hate gay people, and not because of his obnoxious behavior. When he sees that the titular "homophobe" he had been berating for the entire sketch is actually Straight Gay, he realizes that he was being "an asshole."

Comically Missing the Point: In "Bald Brotherhood Gang," an inmate played by Key thinks a neo-Nazi skinhead gang is in fact a gang of bald guys who will readily accept him, as a bald guy himself. When they start beating him up because he's Black, he thinks they're simply hazing him and he's on his way to full initiation.

Pretentious Pronunciation: Inverted in the "Substitute Teacher Pt. 1" sketch where an Inner City School teacher is substituting at a predominately white suburban High School. He mispronounces all his students' names like Ghetto Names when calling attendance, and when they correct him, he angrily scolds them for trying to mess with him. Standouts include "Blake" as "Bah-Lak-Kay" and "Aaron" as "Ay-Ay-Ron".
