I contend that they have one of the funniest shows on TV. Each episode is hilarious and the seasons need to be longer. I love the UFC one-- ā€œDo you have me fighting, like, an actual crazy person? Because if you are, thatā€™s not fair to me. Or him. What do you mean you canā€™t find him?!ā€ Another favorite is the one where he shows up to the party dressed as annoying Michael Jackson. . . but then is heartbroken to find out MJ died. ā€œCā€™mon man, donā€™t sad moonwalk away. . .ā€ Oh, and the racist dog! The racist dog had me in tears. ---

Peale does the best Obama I know of, too, and I loved Key on _Mad TV_. Comedy Central should be promoting these guys a lot more than \*Workaholics \*and that other stuff I always catch the end of when I tune in for the _Daily Show_. ---

Their parody of [ancestry.com](http://ancestry.com) was hilarious. All the black people were descendents of Thomas Jefferson. Iā€™m sorry. Thomas motherfucking Jefferson!! And I love Obama and the anger translator. Key was a great recurring character on Reno 911. ---

This show is great. Even their back and forth banter on stage between skits is funny. Like when they were discussing how much more Ebonic their conversations become based upon how many other black people are present. ---

Watched it several times, laughing every second. ā€œWhen I squeeze your lungs, Derek, and you beg me for life, then your heart will open up to the Lordā€ Iā€™m gonna knock him out round one, bitā€¦ wait, what did he say again?" ---

Thanks for turning me on to this, itā€™s pretty good. ā€œOh, I didnā€™t know that. When I met with your mother she didnā€™t mention that. Of course it was hard to hear her with my dick in her mouth.ā€ ---

I love their Dubstep skit and the one where they show up as slaves at a Civil War reenactment. I really hope they get another season. ---

Iā€™m not even a Harry Potter fan, but even I think the Inner City Wizarding School is the best skit ever: [![](https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/374418468-66bef6b42900fb7f355bf7c9761d57ca07566937e185299a2a5e5cb8730b80a9-d "Inner-City Wizard School") ](https://vimeo.com/54162829) ---
