People don't like to say it, so I'll say it. those key & Peele sketches were up there with the Chappelle show sketches
Not Even Close
That’s the biggest insult you could say 😂 Chappell is the worst .. there’s a reason he suffered depression and went missing for nearly 17 years... Chappell did nothing but anti white skits... as a result he left a huge audience behind and divided himself from a potentially larger career... key and peel did it better and they equalise their black - white skits... unfortunately though... Jordan went off and made these movies that basically insinuate reverse racism... in my opinion he sunk too low and he could be a bigger director if he can put race aside...
They far surpassed them in the long term. To this day, you can describe them and people will laugh without any further context, like Monty Python sketches. Chapelle’s were very much of that time, and don’t hit as wide of an audience.
Really? People? How many did you go around asking
Chapelle used to hate on them for copying the sketch format of race comedy
Jordan Peele sharing credit with his writers when praised for the burn victim sketch is nice to see
he never brings up Chappelle's Show tho which is the reason they were able to do what they did.
wish the title had mentioned MadTV.... cause thats where i first saw key & peele..
@@Obi-WanJabr0nicome on, really?
There a six(?) seasons of K&P full of fantastic sketches that make the show stand on its own. It’s pathetic how people can’t let go of the whole key and peele ripped off chapelle like move on
@@ezzomahfouz no one said it was a ripoff. thats on you. learn how to read. just said that he never brings up Chappelle as someone who inspired him, which he clearly did.
They had too many good sketches to mention.
Conan and Key & Peele have made my life so much more bearable in the toughest of times
same!
Agreed!
For sure! 😢😅
Truly! I'm so grateful for the three of them.
i wish i could post the meme of Frank Reynolds "can i offer you an egg in this trying time?"
One thing that was very impressive and unique about Key & Peele was the cinematic aspect of the sketches. The sketches all felt like short films of their own with cinematic lighting and music, superb acting and filming on location. When Peele became a Director I was not surprised at all having watched his cinematic roots on Key & Peele.
100% agree
Yes I agree. The overall quality of their sketches were made very well.
the wigs! the wigs where so good 😂
Dude fr, sometimes the wigs are the funniest part of the skit@@peeron6829
Yes. In many ways they were mini-movies. Like the Continental breakfast or the Airplane sketch.
Key and Peele's premises and executions were top notch. How they consistently made their sketches unpredictable made them funnier than 90% of the sketches on other shows.
The absurdity of it too really got me.
I always thought the premises were very basic and unpromising and then I was impressed by how well they executed and developed them.
A lot of sketches had movielike production value and comedy-horror endings. They were like his early shorts
@@utubepunk That's part of it but it's rare that people are good at both absurdity AND traditional comedy and know just how to mix them. If you go too far you end up with Tim & Eric, which *can be* hilarious but only at specific times and to specific people and you end up an Adult Swim.
K and P is 100000x funnier than SNL these days. That show was amazing.
Not just the humor or the writing, Key and Peele had an insanely high quality production. It was amazing on all fronts.
That always impressed me. I can't think of any prior sketch show that had such high production value
The Gangster Surprise Party sketch comes to mind. The difference between that sketch being brilliant and completely falling on its face is all about cinematography and editing.
This, among many others! “If Hogwarts were an Inner-City School” czcams.com/video/j-2ZxldMO-M/video.htmlsi=iLQxHQCjVgr4jCe7
I love that Jordan credits their writers. I think writing teams don’t get enough credit for certain types of shows.
Always sunny podcast made sure to credit who contributed to the best scenes or episodes
@@iFreshCrispyAlthough they conveniently don't name any of the writers who have voiced criticism over certain behind the scenes behaviour over the years. Quite the coincidence.
@@iFreshCrispy Damn I hadn't even noticed that podcast went on hiatus months ago, hope it comes back
@HOTD108_ could you provide some extra info on this? I'm curious to what you're referring to
When Conan mentions how Comedy and Horror have major similarities I always like to say that comedy and horror thrive when the creative is looking at the situation the main character is in and asks "Now how can I make this situation even worse for them?"
Exactly. I look at horror as, what happens when comedy goes on too long and is taken to it's logical conclusions, and then after one becomes accustomed to these conclusions it becomes comedy again. There is this cycle of the two.
Observing Jordan Peele's genuine personality truly underscores the remarkable nature of his acting skills.
“Nope” really solidified Jordan’s skills in my mind. “Get Out” was a great premise but “Nope” had so many genius directorial choices that it puts him way higher on my list
I'm not sure how to put this, and let me state that I am a huge fan of Jordan's work, but I could see as apparently you did some incredible flourishes of directorial skill in terms of what made it on to the screen, and that is a very difficult skill to acquire, but there is just something not smooth or not coherent or not realistic in almost how the entire movie (Nope) is set up. For example, at the beginning his father is killed from the coin dropping from the sky, and there is just no grief reaction or "oh my god my dad died" aspect in the script, and that type of "wait a minute, what the hell is up with these people" aspect continued throughout the film, and ultimately kept the film from being a true classic to my thinking. (I do think "Get Out" IS a classic.)
@@sliceserve234it’s called shock
@@GregMuniz7 I would even have settled for a depiction of extended shock instead of grief, anything, but they just kill the character off and everything proceeds like nothing happened. And that is just the first instance in the film, it keeps happening, I wonder what rationalizations you would come up with for those. Actually, no, I don't. Too exhausting.
@@sliceserve234 I feel like it may have been put in at the start just to show that it's not your normal type of movie
trash movie only paraded by bots and those influenced by them.
Anyone surprised at the depth of Get Out or Nope wasn’t paying attention to the Key & Peele sketches. Those kind of smarts and creativity and skill in writing aren’t an accident, and every single thing that Peele writes gets exponentially better and better. I adore his upward trajectory, it’s so true and real and inspiring, and it makes me proud that his roots are in comedy. We’re watching a genius expand and grow before our eyes!! I’m so grateful to see it. ❤️
Get Out was well written, Nope was trash
I like sea turtles 🐢
People forgot that some key & peele sketches turn into horror at the end.
As he mentioned in this very clip, these shows have a team of writers in the background.
the Continental breakfast skit😂
Jordan Peele is so freaking talented and such a hard working guy. It's insane how much he has accomplished. So impressive.
I just have to say... I absolutely LOVE Conan in this podcast format. I was a little uneasy when he ended his late night run but this is so much better in nearly every single aspect.
I hope this goes twice as long than his previous gig.
I too have been liking this even more than the old shows, much as it feels like sacrilege to say! Apples to oranges, but the simplicity of this format makes for some nice "pure Conan" moments. And I remember seeing how much he hated 90% of celebrity guest interviews, just from the deadness in his eyes 😂
A tallent such as Conan's shouldn't be censored or restricted. This format allows a lot more freedom to go down all the wild tangents and silly bits.
@@wizard-pirate i dont think the comedian Shane Gillis would have the success he got now if SNL kept him until today. To restrict some of these comedians just dont work
I love it when guests can make Conan laugh so hard 😂😂😂
that sketch of the burning man is his roman empire
the burn victim skit is right up Conan's alley
Tq found it. czcams.com/video/RlTbJZ64sVM/video.htmlsi=MXxgAnATmSg2iphi
I rewatched every episode of Key & Peele in the last couple of months and every single one of them are comedic perfection!😂
Always love it when Conan and a guest have mutual respect for each other's work.
I prefer the episodes where Conan disrespects and spits on the guest constantly.
@@HOTD108_ Then you've got issues 😂
I love how well jordan takes compliments as a comedian. So used to comedians hating compliments / attention
I've watched Key & Peele up and down since day one. The production quality was so well done you truly cannot notice how its almost been a decade since they came out. They really did their thing crafting that beauty.
Key and Peele are the sole reasons behind me graduating my Masters degree! Depressed and lonely but watching their skits knocked the life into me! So I turned into Balakeeee and went to war 😂
eyyy congrats for getting your Degree whenever that was .
Congratulations on your achievement! I don’t know you, but I’m proud of you succeeding.
Well done and congratulations- Damn that’s powerful. And my laughter at the Substitute Teacher reference is neither churlish or insubordinate.
It’s just so cool that two of my biggest idols and inspirations are in the same room, admiring each other’s work. I’ll always be thankful for these guys for getting me through some tough times.
I've never seen Conan this careful with his choice of words with any other guesses. He really respect Peele.
I noticed Jordan was special in Mad TV, and I actually was a comedy snob at the time (despite being a teenager) and thought Mad TV was "lame" compared to the "intellectual" stuff I was watching like Late Night and TV Funhouse and Upright Citizens Brigade and Strangers with Candy. Jordan was an exception, like when he would play Montel Williams who would interview victims of abuse and get high at the same time for some reason, so much funnier than it sounds, and that is because it was ALL Jordan's incredible execution.
I am a sketch comedy fanatic, and in my opinion, Key and Peele is the greatest sketch show of all time. I have it above SNL, I Think You Should Leave, Monty Python, the Marx Brothers, and even the Chappelle Show. When I go back and watch Key and Peele episodes, I am amazed by the consistency of every sketch. We all remember Substitute Teacher and East/West Bowl, but I am always floored with how many classic sketches they string together in individual episodes. Everything is so well written, so well performed, and the last joke of every sketch is almost always the best, which is so incredibly difficult to do. Nothing but respect and gratitude for Jordan and Keegan.
Agree, but no love for MADtv?
Snuff Box was one of the greatest IMO because the peices were evergreen and the premise so insane.
Let's not forget Mr. Show and Kids in the Hall, which are almost up there with Flying Circus.
Do yourself a favor and watch The Birthday Boys
WKUK too
Happy New Year to Team Coco and all of their fans. Keep all the Conaning coming.
Amazing Interview. Its incredible how Peele have been building his career
“ Little homie”. One of my all time favourites. And a stellar example of what they are talking about.
I watched Conan for years and I never saw him laughing so hard!! It is SO fun to see him laughing!!
I think talented comedians have a depth of understanding of the human condition in ways many others don’t, which is how they’re able to figure out what people will find funny. Which also gives insight into the other emotions. Drama, fear, sadness, etc. it’s why comedians tend to do drama well also. It’s why I’m not surprised at all that Peele is able to do horror so phenomenally.
Yup, I think all good comedians are actually philosophers
@@AudreyII- As Mel Brooks put it, Standup Philosophers. Certainly George Carlin was.
I love these guys! And Insult Comic is my favorite sketch as well. Watched it countless times. So happy to see Conan fangirling for Key and Peele :D
This is awesome. I love seeing them get such high praise. The very first time I saw a Key & Peele sketch (the boxing press conference where Jordan plays an effeminate Mike Tyson-esque boxer) I was floored. Every single aspect was on point, it's impossible to not know you're watching something special. And they both played an such eclectic characters but you would never see anyone but the character they were in, they became each character and that is, besides the writing obviously, what made this such an amazing, unique and ultimately iconic show.
I am obsessed with sketch comedy. It's by far my favorite kind of comedy. Key & Peele is the pinnacle of that. I can watch their sketches over and over. I was thrilled to see Jordan as a guest!
If you haven't already, check out Key's book: A History of Sketch Comedy
You must be a fan of, Mr. Show, then. That is sketch comedy at its best.
I could watch conan talking about his favorite key and peele skits all day
Happy New Year to team Coco
Can't wait to hear more!
Conan has respectfully surpassed the great Carson by leaps and bounds in my humble opinion 🙌🏻
I stopped watching a lot of horror because it was getting stale, until I saw Peele's stuff. He got me back into the genre. I love his stuff, not to mention his comedy is great. Talented guy!
Conan referencing that Key and Peele sketch sent me on a 1 hour binge watch of sketches, so thanks for that Conan!
A pleasure to watch this.
To absorb and banter and laugh.
Is so very very good!
Thank you.
key and peele are both geniuses and that has to be the best comedy show ever
Ill always remember him as that old crazy dude at the store on madtv
Only Conan can conduct such an insightful interview!
omg ive been waiting for this for so long
Conan is one of my favorite role models!!
"Front Hand, Back Hand" is the first skit I ever saw from Key & Peele and is still one of my favorites. Substitute teacher comes in 2nd. A-A-Ron!
I love how Jordan mentioned the writers that also helped them along, I think that's the mark of a very professional man.
I was alwasy in awe of jordan peeles acting in alot of those sketches. Dude is freakin amazing
I was JUST wishing that Jordan Peele would appear on the podcast!!!
The K&P sketch I always reference when people wonder how Jordan made it to psychological horror is 100% the “save a kid for $1” sketch. There was so much happening in that like 4 min skit that told an entire horror story.
Happy New year to Conan and the Chill Chums!
I needed this interview. Inspiring and informative. KMK next time!!!
My favorite part of that Burned Heckler Sketch is when Jordan says "The Tears...They Burn" I was done after that lmao!!!
Get Out is one of the best films of the past decade. Horror masterclass.
Manly Tears was my favorite sketch
Ive watched it an ungodly amount of time 😂
I love Jordan! Super cool guy, and such a legend at only 44😎
Their show was so funny and it went out on top/ on their terms which makes it still legendary!
3 of my top 5 comedians, Jordan Peele,Michael Keegan and Sona! Well ofcourse Conan too!
whats even better for me is jordan clearly remember every word of that dialog
Awesome awesome awesome film education talk and interview!! Yeeeees yeeeeeeaaaahhhh!!
✌️😎✌️
The Urkle sketch for me is top comedy and one of the funniest things I have ever lived through.
This and the Gremlins sketch are my top two.
A crazy journey but a deserved one. Jordan is crazy talented. I just hope he's dealing with his catapult into incredible success and influence doesn't go to his head too much or create demons for him to battle. It would be nice to have his voice out there for a long time.
Would be ironic if he were to to slip on Chappelle's coat tails.
@@SEJay-gj2cvchapelle simping
@@SwiftJustice ok zoomer
@@SEJay-gj2cv Why do Millennials think Dave invented social commentary comedy based on racial dynamics in society? 😂😂😂
One of the few film makers I will get up off my butt and go to the theater to watch his movies. Get out, Us, and Nope were all fire. Keep them coming please!
Get Out is a classic film and everyone should respect Jordan Peele for creating such a movie
K&P sketches were magnificently unique and hilarious!
Great clip! @8:20 there's no way Conan hasn't thought of this connection b/w horror and comedy before. Tragedy and Comedy is a timeless juxtaposition/ dynamic relationship, and horror can be viewed as just a particular instance or subset of tragedy.
I think this is my first time realizing and hearing his real voice that’s insane.
I could listen to these two talk about film theory all day...
I saw "Get Out" for the first time yesterday. Wow. Amazing. Loved it.
if it ever gets re released or shown in theaters. You have to go.
Happy New Year, Conesy!
Conebone69
Two absolute gems.
I love Omega Phi Omega sketch still lmao all their skits are amazing 😂
Man I have never seen Conan laugh this hard. Whoever did the wigs on the show was the MVP for me.
Watch some of his Norm Macdonald clips. It's amazing to watch those two go back and forth!
Peele's voice sounds different
I'm glad I'm not the only that noticed that. I wonder what happened.
Old
He sounds morel like his Obama impressions than himself.
So many great ones, but my FAVORITE is the “Save A Child” sketch hahah brilliant
Nightmare on Elm Street seeing it as a child was absolutely terrifying. Just the thought I was getting sleepy would make me cry when I was a kid.
Shoot I discovered the magic of Key, Peele and Bobby during the Mad TV days
Among the late night shows Conan is the most brilliant because he chose to work indepedently aka self-employed but no offend to others late night show they're great service to us by entertaining us on cable tv although that job consume too much of their lives😅
Relieved that someone finally mentioned Mr. Show
True Key and Peele was on in my house 24/7. I formed whole friendships on imitating the sketches lol
The amount of restraint Matt had to not jump in as soon as they started talking about cinema is commendable
In terms of production value alone, K&P’s sketches were light years ahead of SNL and MADtv (especially Key and Peele’s time on there)
I love Conan, hes the goat of late night television
The Family Matters sketch is a work of art. A true mix of comedy and horror
my all time fave key & peele would be the loco gangster 😂
He sounds different
Awesome discussion
"Meegan, your jacket tho!!!" "No!!!"
Conan literally has THE best belly laugh in history.
The Key and Peele Gremlins 2 sketch is always the one I bring up to people, lol. Anytime Gremlins 2 enters the conversation, it's all I can think of.
Bummer they recorded this back in November before they announced Jordan was working with Kojima on OD. Especially because Conan was in Death Stranding and it would just be cool to hear them talk about working with him.
Shoutout to principal O'Shaughnessy
You mean O. Shag Hennessey?
It's 2024, I sincerely hope you all start sharing the complete VOD. There seems to be no valid reason not to adopt this practice. Following the standard approach, publish the podcast first and then release the full version on CZcams a week later. What's holding us back from implementing this?
Sirius paid $150M for Conan‘s content and is a company built around audio content; the videos exist in service of that. They’re not a video company.
This is awesome 🎉
I remember first seeing key and peele in madTV and they had such good scenes together
I do not say this lightly.
Key & Peele are up there with Conway and Korman in terms of timing and execution of comedy in their sketches.
Peele once said in an interview that the difference between comedy and horror is the music. I think about that all the time.
What I wish Jordan and Conan would acknowledge their experience from Mad Tv that was the best sketch comedy before Key and Peele
I have a Jordan Peele Pop Vinyl and I LOVE it!!
Omg, I just watched that sketch. It is sooooo wrong😂😂😂
I miss Key & Peele. The football lineup sketches were the best. They were friggin hilarious and would always just get so ridiculous and over the top. I also like when Jordan played a basketball referee on The Kroll Show which is another show I miss. You should have Nick Kroll on next.
Kroll has been on already.
The current NFL (and college) football lineup has now exceeded the Key & Peele skit. They thought they were taking it to an extreme level, but they were just identifying a point in time to be exceeded by actual names. The names today are way, way beyond that skit. Having said that, “A-Aron Rod-gers” is hard to beat…
