History Series / KeyAndPeele

* BitingTheHandHumor: One sketch had a hypothetical meeting between Jordan and his father though despite the similarlities they show he keeps denying he keeps denying it but as Jordan leaves he says that he has his own TV show and at that point the man trys to get him to stay but when Jordan reveals that the show is on Comedy Central the man yells at him to get out.

* EveryoneGetsTheirTurn: Hilariously averted with the "Les Mis" sketch where the main figure is frustrated at the inability to get their lines in while everyone else drowns him out.

* BitingTheHandHumor: One sketch had a hypothetical meeting between Jordan and his father who refused to believe it despite the similarlities they show but as Jordan leaves he says that he has his own TV show then at that point his father trys to get him to stay but when Jordan reveals that the show is on Comedy Central he is told to get out.

* FakeNationality: Key is half-black and half-white, but has played a lot of other nationalities, including Pacific Islander, American Indian, Indian (from India), Middle Eastern, and Hispanic (very much like when he was on ''MADtv''. Key on ''MADtv'' was praised for being versatile in playing all races and both genders).

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''MADtv'' (which was promised a cable revival, but got it in the form of Cartoon Network's ''WesternAnimation/{{MAD}}'' and this show) and ''ChappellesShow''

** BrendaSong IS the [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Pink R...]] uhh... [[CaptainErsatz Purple Falcon!]]

* NWordPrivileges: The Negraph app, which tells you when and where it's appropriate to use the n-word. [[DontExplainTheJoke It'll always be rendered invalid if you're white.]]

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The Inner-City Wizard School sketch; the school in question suffers from supposedly stereotypical problems found in typical inner-city public schools (only that they all have to do with magic a la the HarryPotter universe.) It also apparently has rats.

* YourMom: A kid played by Peele won't stop making these jokes when the Indian doctor played by Key is trying to tell her that her medical condition is terrible. The doctor himself throws one in at the end, giving an "oh, snap" after seeing the boy's shock.

* AndIMustScream: [[PlayedForLaughs Played for]] [[BlackComedy dark]] [[PlayedForLaughs laughs]] in one skit about {{LMFAO}} singing about partying nonstop. After partying for more than a week they try to leave the party, only to find that every way out only leads back to the party and they're unable to escape. Eventually [[spoiler:[[DrivenToSuicide they kill themselves to escape]]... only to be revived with the party starting all over again]].

* MagicalNegro: One sketch focuses on two of these using magic to [[ThereCanBeOnlyOne fight for the right to help a white man with his marriage problems]].

** Ty Burrell of ''ModernFamily'' as a Nazi officer in ''Das Negros''.

"Key & Peele" is a sketch comedy show starring Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele from the FOX sketch show ''{{MADtv}}''. The show premiered on January 31, 2012 on ComedyCentral and is in its second season. In terms of format, it brings to mind a mix of ''ChappellesShow'' and the last two seasons of ''{{MADtv}}'' when the show was moved to the Henry Ford Music Box Theater and most of the sketches shown were low-budget short films and music videos (season 14 did have some sketches done live at the Ford Music Box Theater, but the majority of the sketches shown were pre-taped).

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''MADtv'' (which was promised a cable revival, but got it in the form of Cartoon Network's ''{{MAD}}'' and this show) and ''ChappellesShow''

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Inverted in the "Suburban Zombies" sketch - the duo are introduced as the "sidekicks" to a gun-toting white hero who promises to get them out safely and is immediately chomped. It turns out the zombies are still more afraid of black people than vice versa, to Key and Peele's indignation. "What was that? They ''seriously'' wouldn't let her eat us?"
