About Key & Peele:
Key & Peele showcases the fearless wit of stars Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele as the duo takes on everything from "Gremlins 2" to systemic racism. With an array of sketches as wide-reaching as they are cringingly accurate, the pair has created a bevy of classic characters, including Wendell, the players of the East/West Bowl and President Obama's Anger Translator.

"Thou already tried to use that line of argument when Jewish people wanted to kick yo ass after the Merchant of Venice." They really did Shylock dirty.
Although the fact is that at the time there were no Jews in England, thanks to Edward I being generally a terrible person and expelling them after borrowing all their money. The so called 'Edict of Expulsion' would only be revoked by Oliver Cromwell in 1655.
@@dehavillandvampire Oliver cromwell sucked but he did good with that on
@@dehavillandvampire holy shit I never knew that.
@@Suchwerewolf In the game "Crusader Kings 2" you can recreate it by borrowing a ton of cash from the jews and then expel them in your own game with little to no consequences. That's how I learned about it.
@@DantesHaven I'm actually of the strong opinion that the devil really doesn't need a third-party advocate at the moment. I think he's well aware of his faculties, his actions, and how to present them.
This sketch got infinitely better for me when I remembered Key is actually an experienced and trained Shakespearean stage actor. 😃
Well, hello stranger.
That's amazing
Now that you mention it, I would love to see Jordan Peele direct a Shakespeare-based movie.
@@eastvandb Absolutely. He has a remarkable command over horror and psychological thrillers (Get Out for example) and I'd love to see a modern, somewhat surreal take from him on The Tempest maybe.
@@bidishah Small world. 🤣
“A black man got it goin on and you shuffle off his mortal coil?!” 💀💀💀💀😂😂 Too many brilliant lines in this skit
Yeah that’s the line from an iconic Hamlet soliloquy 😂
Can’t a young black man live in this stale promontory??!
@@lirich0yep just as “you’d be talking to a skull right now” is another Hamlet reference
That’s my favorite line from this skit full of great lines.
This one got me 😂
These sketches are unbelievably addictive, you say you're gonna watch a couple, and before you know it the whole evening has gone by.
LMAOO facts
Legends. Not to be a hipster but, if you grew up watching MadTv these guy hold that special spot lol
That is so true before you know it the whole day has gone by and you are laughing so hard you almost pee on yourself.
P. S.
Please forgive me for saying PEE out loud. 🤓

Watch the show then, man. Lol

I like how historically accurate the insults are
"be gone sirrah"
i had to look that up
unfortunately the people writing the subtitles spelled it wrong
3 years late lol but trust me if it wasnt this accurate someone would have tried calling them out
"We doth not purchase it, Slick Willy: we doth not purchase it." LOL
verily that.
Immediately after they lose their old English accents 😭😂. Ain’t playing no games with Shakespeare
Doth though heareth thine decree? ="Know what I'm saying?"
🤣all of this dialogue is 🔥🔥
Best Line!
"We doth not purchase it Slick Willy"
he said "Moor please!"
Oh hey I know you
The fact that it fit so perfectly blows my mind. Probably my favorite line
Best line in there lol
Damn it that's what I was gonna comment! 😂
"You'd be talking to a skull right now!"
Such an underrated line
To be, or not to be!! lmao
Alas poor Yorick
@@JohnWasinger I didn't realize that until your comment!

OMG like Hamlet. I just now got it lol
"You know I got a concealed Cornish game hen up in my doublet". Hahaha sneaking food into the theater is such a time honored tradition
Alloweth me to partaketh up in this bitch😂😂😂😂
Can't get over how flawlessly they incorporate the period dialects into this skit!
Seriously! This sketch is so satisfying to watch 😌
I don't mean to ruin it for you, but the "period dialects" they include are completely wrong. Just as an example "I just speaketh about Shafte". The "eth" is basically the same as our modern-day "s" ending and would only be used for the third person, as in "he speaks/speaketh". The first person would be unchanged as compared to today: "I speak". Furthermore, the language Shakespeare used was often already old-fashioned for its time and only reserved for stage use, so it's unlikely that the audience members would speak in the same overly formal language as the actors.
What Key & Peele are doing here is basically a parody of what most modern English-speaking people THINK Shakespeare's English sounded like, and in that context, I guess it's fine - they are comedians and this is comedy after all.
@@ZippyDan I do appreciate the background info on period vernacular. Talking like the actors in a play you just watched is pretty common though. You ever left a James Bond movie with your own British accent? Or started dropping more f-bombs in a Boston accent after watching The Departed?
I can barely understand them and I love it. Pretty impressive how quickly they speak in full Olde English impressions.
Daniel Castellanos in the versions of this skit that take place now these two characters add s to words and names so I think it makes sense that speaketh was “misused”
This is probably way more accurate to the vibe of actual Globe performances than we might imagine. Back then theatre was on about on a par with watching bear-baiting. Can imagine everyone throwing shit at the stage and yelling the whole way through.
Like a pantomime audience on speed
THIS! I am so sick of this idea that Shakespeare is high culture...only because it's in old timey speak that no one can understand. It would be like having The Fresh Prince of Bel Air considered fine art 500 years from now
@@lenawagenfuehr53 but he is deep, you can't deny that. That's why he is remembered and most of his other old timey fellows are not. He is considered high culture not because it's old, but because he is deep, existential and witty.
@@lenawagenfuehr53
Also because he was brilliantly creative in his approach to language and to his craft.
Your comment is weird and funny at the same time.
On the one hand you sound weirdly triggered ("I'm so sick of this idea..."), like why do you care so much as to be so triggered by such a normal and simple thing?
And on the other hand you demonstrate that you totally ignore Shakespeare's merits when you compare him with some Prince of bel air (btw wtf is it?).
AS IF his works were considered great literature only because they are old. Like Wtf is wrong with you?? Triggered by a normal fact that Shakespeare is considered great literature loved by educated people and at the same time devaluing him like you did?
Most people would be standing for the whole play. These folk were referred to as groundings and as a person who stood through a short play, you would be too tired to be that rambunctious for long.
“You know I got a concealed Cornish hen up in my doublet”
tis it fried?
Yeeeet 👅
😂😂😂😂😂
And here I thought he was just happy to see me!
Had to stop the video for a 5min LOL session right there :D
"Me thinks things are looking up for the people of the darker hue" Idk why this line makes me laugh.
The irony of the statement, probably.
Instant classic !
Read this just as it played
Wow! Brother 303 likes in just over an hour! 👍
"Helleth yes!"
Mad respect that they mentioned Christopher Marlowe. That's some serious attention to detail.
It they watched Shakespeare in Love
and of course the duo would "not purchase" that explanation, for Marlowe had his own mortal coil shuffled off nearly ten years prior to the writing of Othello ;)
@@zerog2000 The Earl of Oxford, otoh, was still alive in 1603 ;).
Yup. 🎉🎉
Actually I think it would have been more accurate to mention Cinthio
“Moor please...” I think we didn’t understand the genius of that line.
It's clever, but not really genius
Not to mention the Hamlet nod "youd be talkin to a skull right now". They are really incredible comedy writers.
Rowing Away It’s definitely genius
I'm feeling particularly dumb right now, but... is it... is it about moor hens being inferior food as compared to cornish hens? 🤔 (no sarcasm, I'm really at a loss here)

This is an accurate representation of what was going on in my head the first time I read Othello.
I need a whole movie of this. Like a hood movie but everyone talks shakespearean.
There is one kinda, Romeo + Juliet
Helleth Yeah
Varasa thou shalt not speak of that one
Martin had a movie called Black Knight I think. Close enough
@@Hellshinigamy yup Romeo + Juliet is definitely one
"F*cketh Yeah" and "Helleth Yes" could you guys be any funnier?
Prob not lmaoo
They could, because that was not funny.
I didn't catch it at first, but when it became apparent what they were doing... Genius! K&P :)

@@SyzygyNoon Oh, you went there...
Every second of this is beautiful. Like the East/West College Bowl skit or the Family Matters bit, this sketch is more about character work than it is about setting a punchline. You're never waiting for the joke to happen - the joke is happening continuously throughout the entire piece. The "punchline" - Shakespeare writing Shaft - is incidental.
correction: 'Shafte'
he said "MOOR PLEASE" that's just so brilliant :DDD
i want to give that line 10 thumbs up, but alas....
Didn't get it, what does it mean?
I didn't get that one. I'm a non native, could you explain a bit pls?
@@javicoca It's poking fun of the phrase "n**ga, please", which means something like "of course", but at the time "moor" was an English term for people of darker skintones, thus the renaissance English equivalent of "n**ga" (originally it meant Spanish Muslims but it became more generalized by Shakespeare's time)
@@MrSunbeam Moor's were dark skinned people, possibly from Northern Africa, Spanish, or a dark skinned Arab. So he would have stood out in Venice. The joke is replacing the n**** word, changing the common phrase "n**** please" to become "Moor, please". Hope that helps.
they hit us with a "hey nonny nonny" from robinhood men in tights.
Ripping off Dave Chappelle is kinda their thing
@@BeegtymeRawkstah They didn't rip off anyone here. "Hey nonny nonny" is a retrain used in Elizabethan music. It's actually more suited to this skit, which is set in the Elizabethan era (compared to Robin Hood Men in Tights, which is set in the Middle Ages).
Just to cut you all off. Men in tights was written by Mel Brooks who ripped of Elizabethan Music. Dave Chappelle had no say in the movie cause that was his first movie ever. Being in a Mel Brookes film for your first film is a helleth of a accomplishment. Even Dave admitted to that.
When I heard the "hey nonny nonny" I thought of "Much Ado About Nothing", actually.
"Hey nonny" was way before Robin Hood Men in Tights. They may have given an homage to Brooks' masterpiece, but it was probably alluding more to Shakespearean times.
Oh my gods. SOMEONE ACTUALLY USED "SIRRAH" CORRECTLY!!!
That has to be a freakin' first in anything written after 1950.
(For those who don't know, "sirrah" was NOT a medieval/Renaissance form of "sir". It wasn't an honorific. it wasn't...exactly...an insult, but it wasn't complimentary either. It was only used to address people you perceived as inferior, and it implied a shit-ton of contempt. K&P are the only folks I've heard use the word correctly, outside of Shakespeare and SCA events).
That's interesting, I must have heard it from Shakespeare because I forgot about that word but I sort of guessed right on why he used it. This makes the sketch better.
yeah it's used a lot in most of his plays.
Kind of like ironic use of the word 'buddy' when the person's tone is not friendly ?
I thought it was awesome when they used "sirrah". Very few people know its meaning. I've used it a couple of times in my life, and thought about using it a lot more (picked it up in SCA when I was in college); the people didn't know I was mildly insulting them. I've also used the British "two finger" sign to people who thought I was flashing a peace sign. 😁
So basically it's just one use of sir? Cuz modern day sir can be derogatory, complimentary, and implied contempt.
Im going to need a full series of them during this time period. The vocabulary and old English was just too good.
Seriously I'm here for it
Can we get Brennan from Colleghumor and Adam Driver from Medieval Times to join?! th-cam.com/video/2KKRiXcivAQ/w-d-xo.html
This isn't old english this is early modern english
@@stiaangroenewald1573 Yes, Old English actually sounds almost German.
"And 'tis about tyme Shakespeare doth scriven the play that placeth a brotha amongst the firmament." Helleth yes.
I'm studying Othello in uni right now and was looking for free movie adaptations on youtube, gotta say this is the best version I could possibly stumble across.
Brother doth be dropping an uncensored m-word like it ain’t no thang.
With the hard “re”
assmane999 *hard “or”
It's mohr
Khalif Williams it’s really not.
If you ever heard of Othello you’d think he was one heck of a fellow
I never cared for him but Iago might be the biggest dick in Shakespeare
The voice, deep and mellow, it’s far smoother than a cello.
Othello was a tight General bro
Ad Ad he was a gent who rose from slavery to glory
sumper man he was never a slave?
“Where’s Shakespeares? Shakespeares?! Prithee, make way. Prithee. Make way. Be gone, sirrah!”
Everyone knows them as comedians..but these guys are really underrated as actors
@Serial Killa aren't NECESSARILY, meaning comedian CAN be bad actors, so presuming a good comedian to be a good actor as well wouldn't be right
They've acted before too, they were in Fargo I think
@@punkyprincesspop1237 The scene where Key feeds Peele into the woodchipper always gets me.
If I was a director they would be the leads in every single film, whatever the genre
Underrated? Literally always someone saying this under any video of theirs. We get it, they’re great actors.
"Moor please" This one has got to be one of the best skits 😂😂
wow years later and im finally understanding that line LOL
As a popular Shakespeare scholar who consumes most of his time on youtube, I have to say this sketch portrays the time and context of the Bard without fault.
What would their outfits be labeled as? I'd like to sew some
The attitude was on point too.
@@HiNinqi I know not of the specifics of the garments but the time period in which Shakespeare walked the earth in was Elizabethan.
@@HiNinqi The play wasn’t preformed until the James The Ist had already taken the throne in 1604, however since Elizabeth I had literally died the year before, I’d put it at late Tudor, Early Stuart, with an emphasis on Elizabethan and Jacobean style
God damn dude, you trippin
"Twas Marlowe!"
"Nay, we doth not purchase it" 😭
"If I know Shakespeare, Othello is bouta kill everybody up in this bih!"
Dumbasses XD, if they knew Shakespeare they'd know being the titular character is ass
@Gaming Sherlock *tragedy he also wrote comedies where nobody dies.
Lmao I didn't know Othello died until I had to play him in high school as the only black kid in the class lmfao
"Moor please!" genius
Might go over some heads
Every single Dutch person picked up on that as in the Netherlands the Moors are a highly debated topic every day of the year.
this line was so gold!!!! i do not use the n** word, although i have been know to drop a 'negro please' here or there. i am gonna use 'moor please' until it becomes a thing. and if you say it fast, it really flows, almost like 'boy please'....'moor please'
Went over my head until I read this comment. Had to go back and listen to it.. Good catch 😂😂🤟🏽
@@garlicjr08 yes! I loved the line but knew most didn't get it🤣🤣🤣
As a high. school English teacher, I appreciate the humor as well as all the Elizabethan references that indicate how really educated Key & Peele
are. Great job, guys.
agreed. they are brilliant on so many levels.
Well, Keegan is a classically trained Shakespearean actor. He’s done Othello
As a high school English teacher, you made at least 2 punctuation errors and one usage error in those 2 sentences.
If you're an English teacher, we're all fucked. That sentence was a train wreck.
"How really educated"?
Good lord.
@@cjheaford They may have made syntactical errors, but they’ve not made any semantical errors.
“‘Tis mine as well, ‘tis mine as well”
🤣🤣
Did they just say “Moor pls” instead of n***a pls lmaooo
It should've been "Moops pls"
dungdungpolo LMAOO I thought they said “moor” instead bc of the moor invasion into Europe during the medieval ages
@@danix4883
When Elizabethans used the term Moor, they were imagining Africans, not Arabs. Othello is a Moor in the play, but it's very clear from the description that he's a Black man.
David Bloom oh yes here in Spain we are still kinda ehh about Arabs bc of how they invaded Spain and it took us 700 years to get it back
@@danix4883
Built some beautiful buildings while they were there, though!
I feel like Shakespeare himself would be proud of this art
I would love Slick Willy and Kanye of the West to speak together about the arts.
Legit, the wordplay in this skit is so genius the Bard himself would be proud
2:08 "Oh, 'tis that not the troubadour Kanye of the West?" bro my throat _hurts_ from laughing 😂😂
They never stop, these skits go on until infinity and beyond
Kendrick Laman and we are here for it
Yessir
So be it
Don't you dare put that evil eye on them.
Python showed that a punchline is not always necessary.
One of their best written skits. Been re-watching it again and again with subtitles on just to not miss any words. :D
Can we just talk about how they actually combined AAVE with Shakespearean English and made it actually work?! XD
That's what Shakespeare is - popular culture from 500 years ago rammef down your throat because it's "fine art"
In 500 years time kids will have to do courses on the "sophisticated wit of Benny Hill"
Verily😅
@@lenawagenfuehr53 Not really, firstly Shakespeare was a master of rhetoric and turning memorable phrases, and secondly unlike AAVE no one spoke Shakespearean English except for Shakespearean actors performing his plays. He wrote in verse, primarily iambic pentameter. You'd have to be the most articulate man in the world to speak like that regularly.
"HE made the beast-with-two-backs with that comely white maiden" hhmmmmmmmm
That's actually a line in the play. Iago basically yells through the dark to the parents that their daughter is "making the beast with two backs" with othello, trying to get them to exact some racist revenge but when othello says he's marrying her to the Duke in court and the Duke is like "hey, he's a great general who is going to be a great husband, y'all need to not be racist" the parents embrace othello as their new son in law and Iago has to come up with a new plan to get rid of othello.
Hey nonny nonny talkin' hey nonny nonny
Still wondering how dat start, was it from the indian skits?

Damn son, thou got thath floweth
I read Othello my senior year in High School, and to this day I'm still pissed that Iago was still alive at the end of the play.
Wow. This sketch has SO MUCH dialogue and had a lot of long takes. Key and Peele really are tremendous actors/writers.
They should have snagged Sammy Jackson for a Shaft cameo.
This was before Sam Jackson was Shaft II
Right...?

This is the only thing that made reading it at school worth it.
That hurt me. Othello is a damn good read.
Shihoblade I spark noted it lol (as did everybody else in the class).
My first Shakespear ever was Romeo and Juliet with the original lines, but the actors dressing and acting (body language, etc) as modern hoodlums and rich people. The first half was amazing, Romeo roaming the streets with his gang getting into trouble, then second half that ive heard rehashed a thousand times was much more boring as I knew the story already.
Best comment: “MOOR PLEASE”
Their chemistry is amazing. They get each other.
Ngl "Helleth yes" is one of my favorite expressions now
“Me thinketh things are looking up for people of the darker hue ✋🏾” 😂😂😂
They were only four hundred years wrong.
"And Othello did the beast with two backs with that comely white maiden..." This is like a top 5 Key & Peele line, only a genius doth scrible such a phrase.
Is no one going to comment that Gaius Baltar was William Shakespeare? So say we all!
Tis not he, it is that knave Marlowe.
