I find them funny but not CONSISTENTLY funny. Like, their funniest shyt is up there with the best skits. But when it misses it's cringeworthy.

Also worth mentioning that I was introduced to them by a white guy. He couldn't wait to show me one of their skits. (the teacher pronouncing the kids' names)

I never watched their show on the regular but some of their skits that others told me about are funny as fukk. Those football name shyts

:skip: :laugh: :russ:

I understand what Aries was saying...but fukk him.

Dude is a well known hater, he's just figured out how to disguise it better over the years.

For the record, K&P are the definition of hit and miss. I'm mad I spent money on that Keanu bullshyt....but I'm just a fan of comedy in general. Funny is funny and sometimes they are are.

I don't say this often and lord forgive me. But I hope vlad gets struck by a car. What a piece of fukking shyt. And fukk Russell Simmons. Biggest fukking c00n ever discussing who is authentic. Just because he sells predatory bullshyt pre paid debit cards doesn't mean shyt. As far as Spears, I understand what he was trying to communicate about K&P. But he did it in such an ignorant and condescending way. Played right into that race baiting joo's hand

Fixed. Some of these joos have been letting cacs take the hit for their sliminess forever.

VLAD came up from BGOL.

he learned all about our culture from there, he use to give exclusive shyt to the forums and everything

but cats ran him off that board for what you just said.
but look at him now. :francis:

trust me, all of these mainstream NON-BLACK culture vultures lurk these forums and capitalize off the information they get off here.

I hated when BGOL when premium. :to:

I like them they're pretty funny :yeshrug:
At least they're getting roles consistently so the movie won't be completely white, even though they get typecast as the token black friend (which they talked about on the show)

I don't find Key and Peele funny because their style of humor is corny, but nikkas who're saying they don't mess with them because they "act white" are seriously holding our entire race back. :snoop:

That's not what he said, doe.

The point was that Key & Peele don't have that connection to Black folk like other comedians do.
A big part of that is - they're not really comedians, they're comedic actors.

Aries had a big point in saying there's no Def Comedy Jam or anything like that anymore where
comics had to get on a stage in front of Black folk and relate to them and be funny. They are
indicative of that...and it's not that it's wrong, per se, it just is what it is.

And Aries ain't just talkin' chit - he was on MadTV with them, he was there.
Like he said, in the "Black" MadTV sketches they were in, they would put more bass in their voice
and put on doo-rags and chit to really sell it.
I fucc wit' Key & Peele, but it's true.

When MadTV was on, I rocked with it in a major way. And when they got their own show,
Alotta Black folk were like "who are these dudes? I never heard of them..."


I think it's more problematic that people feel that so-and-so can't be "funny" just because their "corny".
Comics are supposed to be corn...but whatever...

Black people figure out ways to hate black people.

White people love Eminem. For some, it will be the only black genre music they listen to.

Black people stay losing on small levels.

Support your own. It's blacks doing to much damage to the community that get support then to try to hate on these dudes.

:dahell: these people are biracial. stop trying to put them off on the black community.
