Key and Peele (Entry VI)


Ever laughed hard enough to the point where your laugh becomes silent for a couple seconds? To the point where your face becomes flat still, eyes either opened wide or closed shut, mouth open with drool coming out but you do not care because you are laughing the moment away? Comedy is a form of art almost everyone enjoys and can be expressed in many ways. For instance, comedy can be represented in romantic, horror, action; even in war. Key and Peele is an amazing and phenomenal show, which is aired on Comedy Central. Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are the main characters of the show and play different roles in the many hilarious skits they act out. For instance, there are a handful of skits where Jordan Peele acts as Barack Obama. I do not kid you when I say that he acts almost EXACTLY like Obama. The stutter, the hand gestures, the looks, even the cut! Key and Peele have different masks but the show explains different and relatable experiences that happen in our lives, media, past relationships and politics. In almost every video, has a hidden message behind it. At times, it is an eye opener into connected situations in our lives or how society portrays something sad to something hysterical. A huge handful of their clips can be viewed on Youtube and some users have gone out of their way to record full length episodes to upload to Youtube. I just found out about Key and Peele and I was immediately hooked by the skits they presented. You will laugh and you will spit-take if you are drinking water. The show airs Wednesdays at 10:00 PM with new episodes airing from Season 4. Personally, I give the show a perfect 10 because it never fails to give me a great long lasting laugh.

  2. I love Key and Peele. I believe their show to be extremely hilarious. I agree that they have a wide variety of skills in the comedic world. The way Key (I think it's Key) portrays our current president is classic. The video was also entertaining. It portrays some stereotypical ideas about the people they were talking to. I have actually seen real videos that mimic Key and Peele's
