"Key & Peele" just finished airing their 5th and FINAL season of this hit, Comedy Central sketch-comedy series. To people who are unfamiliar with this show, I always describe it as a new version of "The Chapelle Show". It's a very similar style of humor with the same large focus on different races and stereotypes. The show started in 2012 and quickly gained popularity for it's comedic satire and edgy race-based humor. Not to mention, the famous "Obama Anger Translator" sketches that even caught the attention of the President himself.
Jordan Peele and Keegan Key are both bi-racial comedians (half black / half white), which allows them to get away with poking fun at both races and racism itself. They can both play a variety of different characters, including characters of different ethnicity and gender. Keegan is from Detroit and Jordan is from NYC, both have played several small roles in different TV shows and movies. They came together to create this series that they also produce and star in. "Key & Peele" has grown more and more in popularity since the first season. So, they have a massive fan base that is bummed out about the series being over after only five seasons.I guess they quit while they were ahead, or they ran out of funny, original ideas.... Who knows what these two hilarious actors have planned next?
Some of the sketches are filled with white propaganda, but other episodes boldly tell the truth about black people and portray them as they really are. Only these guys can get away with producing some of the stuff they come up with. I love this series and the many memorable sketches and characters over the course of 5 seasons. This final season of "Key & Peele" was the best season, and the last episode of season 5 ties into the very first episode of season 1. It's sad to see this series come to an end after it gained so much momentum.
