So late. I’m on summer holidays so I had a bit of free time, and was searching for Youtube comedy and came across them. Face, neck, and chest. I can’t believe I had never heard of these guys! (In retrospect - I had heard of the movie Get Out, but I am rarely in the mood to watch horror these days) I binge-watched everything available on youtube but want more. These guys are brilliant. For a week I have not been able to get this sketch out of my mind: Key & Peele - Prepared for Terries These are characters I have never seen before, and they shine. Homeboys who have very questionable fashion sense, are vaguely hyper-sexual, well-read, witty, with a macho violent streak against unlikely threats. I. fucking. love it. Their other stuff is awesome too, but this one sketch stands out to me. "That’s the combat seat, Jonathan Livingston Seagull. If you gonna be in the combat seat you gotta be ready to blast up on some terries. Because with great power comes great responsatrilitrance. Okay, um, I just wanted some legroom… Okay Max Legroom, you get yours. Meanwhile, I’m gonna go Hayden Pantiniere on some terries. Especially when they get froggy." ---

For what it’s worth, _Get Out_ is not traditional slash horror. There’s a lot of humor and suspense. It’s worth watching. ---

Keegan-Michael Key ends up in a car with some serious thugs and has to pretend he’s “hardcore thug life” and it is awesome. ---

I wasn’t a huge fan of their sketch show. The absurdity of the aforementioned East-West College Bowl sketch does crack me up though. I love **Keanu** , and I enjoyed **Get Out**. ---

It’s silly but the humor hit me just the right way in the Gremlins 2 sketch.

There is a skit, I think it might just be called substitute teacher, I haven’t seen it in ages, but I remember laughing like crazy over the pronunciations. ---

Among the many amazing sketches, by far the most superlative is the [Urkel sketch](http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x34t5ik). ---
