Masterful comedy series!
I had already seen this several years ago or so for some reason I didn't review then. I absolutely love the humor throughout it's legendary entertainment that is well deserving of the award wins! Keegan Micheal Key and Jordan Peele are so wonderful throughout in this sketch comedy. I think it's great Jordan Peele became a masterful horror director a couple years after this ended. So many awesome comedic scenes that are loads of fun and memorable; some are stale yet sill effective. Maybe one of few things people would complain about is the racial issue enlightened in this but that's a great thing especially that Jordan is known for.
wooooow
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...

Clever and Ahead of it's time
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
In the pantheon
Key and Peele are the most acerbic, gutsy, and funny duo on American television today. In fact, comedy duos seem to be a lost art form in the United States (gone are the days of Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello, and Martin and Lewis). Perhaps, that's why Key and Peele seems fresh, while at the same time, hearkening back to pre-war era comedy. The writing is heavy on satire, but the performances are rife with pratfalls. In an era of snark and ironic distance, it's invigorating to watch a comedy in love with the execution of a sketch, not just the target of a joke. The cinematography also elevates the show above the usual crop, with its filmic look and splendid editing. Noting about this show is slapdash (Judd Apatow improv, this ain't). The show's writing and performing is deliberate and the dividends are many! Highly recommended.
My seasonal ratings
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.

Did you know
- 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.
