In the current state of movies and TV shows, executives try their best to appeal to a demographic obsessed with authenticity and genuine absurdity with purpose. With that being a handicap for some, most writing leans more toward absurdity for the sake of being absurd for no reason. When that happens, the line between genuine originality and simple stupidity becomes blurred. However, this show is the perfect polar opposite. Key and Peele manage to merge genuine ridiculousness with unparalleled brilliance. This show is sheer genius cloaked behind sheer nonsense which makes it the quintessential candidate that will represent absurdity and brilliance alike, and without prejudice. The very thing Shakespeare once held true himself.
I was a bit afraid when I saw the teasers but blown away by the production value! Comedy is not just something to make you laugh. Comedy has levels to it watching Key & Peele I saw tragedy, Irony and humanity. There have been very few thought provoking comedy shows that have made me copy and paste youtube links and mail them to my friends. Key & Peele have somewhat tedious dialogs about their humdrum lives (sorry guys) But their comedic insights are brilliantly creative and should be revisited as ongoing themed webseries. I swear Jordan Peele is so dedicated to his scenes that his focus alone makes me laugh. This show is incredible and I search for new episodes of it in my comedy central on demand. Keep up the good work guys
It can get a little repetitive...but that's precisely why it doesn't have that many seasons
the dedication and the quality of the sketches...mind-blowing!!
And that is really not capturing the true brilliance of key and peele
i feel like i can't pick the right words
les mis!! Fantastic!!
The cinematography on each sketch is just mind-blowing...the only reason i don't give this a 10 is because it's a sketch show and some sketches are not too great some over-the-top even for a sketch comedy...only that...the rest is just masterclass...

Key and Peele is a highly clever and hilarious sketch comedy series. It feels like a descendent of Chappelle's Show. Some of the skits are legitimately the funniest things I've ever seen in my laugh. Many of them having me crying from laughter. I love this show.
The show does dip in the later seasons. In the future I will only rewatch the first three seasons.
Season 1: 9 stars (about 4 viewings, 7/12/2023)
This show is amazing. There are multiple times per episode where I have to pause it because I'm laughing too hard. So creative. And they're both so awesome and naturally funny.
Season 2: 8 stars (about 4 viewings, 7/15/2023)
The misses are more common but the hits are just as strong. I love when they show crowd reactions when someone is dying from laughter.
Season 3: 8 stars (about 4 viewings, 7/24/2023)
Season 4: 6 stars (about 3 viewings, 7/31/2023)
This season has a few hilarious sketches, including my favorite KP sketch, Consequences! But more than half are either misses or just mildly amusing without laughter. And I miss the crowd. The car conversations rarely make me laugh.
Super Bowl Special: 6 stars (about 2 viewings, 8/1/2023)
Season 5: 4 stars (about 2 viewings, 8/11/2023)
More misses and very few hits. It's difficult to get through.

Key and Peele make SNL look like the worst episode on Sesame Street.
If these two where put on earth to do this series and that's it, we've been blessed.
This is top shelf comedic brilliance in every aspect. The quality of the skits is outstanding. I'm shocked how they fit so much entertainment in 30 min. Yet it leaves me smiling all day. Even the extra actors in the skits have better acting skills than most of the hosts on SNL.
Good days or bad days, these guys make me laugh.
My only complaint is that I wish each episode was at least 60 min.
And very sad this legendary series is over.

- TriviaIn an interview with Larry King, referring to the show's humor on racism issues, Keegan Michael Key said, "In regard to our show, some people ask me sometimes, 'what is the greatest thing that can happen to your show?' I said the greatest thing that can happen to my show is that a kid watches something on whatever the equivalent of YouTube is 75 years from now and goes 'why is this funny? I don't understand this.'" Meaning that hopefully Americans will have solved the racism issues in the near future.
