Thanks so much for watching! Were you a fan of Kenan & Kel? What was your favorite episode if so? (Also, at the end, I didn't add my Twitter handle, my bad, it's linked on my channel page though)
Favourite episode was when Kenan and Kel entered a couples game show to win some cash… and the last question posed to Kenan, “what is Kel’s favourite drink?”… Kenan exclaims “orange soda!”, thinking he’s won the game show and celebrating… only for Kel to reveal its root beer… As a kid, this killed me… Thanks for this awesome nostalgia trip!
Man, this episode is basically we are cancelled anyway, lets go nuts as the finale... On a side note, I always found it unique that despite Kenan being the straight man, it was Kel who was more sensiable and would try to talk him out of things in the beginning of every episode. Despite Kenan being the more normal one, Kel was the more reasonable one. That's pretty rare as a sitcom duo set up. Awww, here it goes!
"Smart ones" are just guys who want to reach their goals without having to do any heavy lifting. Get rich quick schemes are usually a identifying quality for these characters.
It wasn't really cancelled. Nickelodeon just had a rule that they wanted about 65 episodes for every show back in those days, as they figured that this was the perfect amount for syndication. I think that the Rugrats were the first show to really break that rule as it was brought back by popular demand after they had planned on ending it as well. Then it wasn't until Spongebob that they had a show that was just kept on continuously... also due to popular demand.
This is an Unpopular opinion of mine but I prefer Kenen and Kel over Drake and Josh. I never liked Drake and Josh, I could never stand that witch of of a sister of theirs, Meg.
@@llim7306 Kenan and Kel is a lot better than Drake and Josh to me too. Never got into Drake and Josh but Kenan and Kel was a regular watch for me as a kid
I have no idea why but just remembeeing the scene about ketchup is like the main and only thing I remember about this movie and it is so ingrained into my head for some reason.
Only episode I remember was that two part episode where Kenan and Kel accidentally got on the wrong plane and it took them to Hollywood. They went site seeing and eventually they got tickets to “The Julie Brown Show” and Kel’s idol David Alan Grier was the special guest on the show. Kel was so excited about it waiting outside the studio waiting to get in, until a security guard was so annoyed by Kel’s excitement he just took their tickets to the show and tore them up. Like I thought that was just straight up cold!
I just saw tht scene again but my favorite is the orange soda. I still love and adore orange soda to this day. I think because of them. Orange soda and Sprite. MmmmmmMmMMM good shit
Kel: "When the bread...popped out of the toaster...no one knew what to put on it jelly, margarine, cinnamon-sugar. I suggested butter. Crumbs were everywhere... Kenan: "Man! He said let's tell *GHOST* stories! Not *TOAST* stories!"
Had the pleasure of meeting Kel at a comedy show he did at our university years ago. Really awesome dude and seemed very appreciative to know just how much he and Kenan brought a smile to mine and my friends faces as kids. Loved this show!
That was probably a blessed time you and your friends had. Meeting Kel in real life and had a pleasant interaction with him. I really find Kel so funny as well as Kenan. If Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell also knew how much of a smile they put on my face as a kid when they were on Nickelodeon, the amount of laughs they've given me, the good memories it formed for me. I know that they both would feel touched by that while I'd feel blessed.
This has big, Scooby Doo vibes and I mean hat as a compliment. I absolutely love Kenan & Kel and hope to see more 90s Nick stuff on the channel! Great video!
I distinctly remember being scared of this episode and wondering why THAT was the send-off. I was so afraid of headless horsemen hitching a ride on the back of the family car on vacations. It haunted me for years.
This movie is my families all time favorite movie! We recorded this special on our VCR when it aired and have watched it hundreds of times over the years🤣😂 We quote it all the time! I’m so glad you made a video on this special! Great memories!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️
Hearing the little sister talking about Kel not being able to come on the road trip making the father decide to go back and get him was gold! “Kel, oh poor Kel 😫!”
FINALLY, SOMEONE POINTS OUT THE DED PEOPLE! Oddly enough those heads on the table never bothered me that much, maybe because Kenan and Kel were such a riot and the other characters got like, 2 or 3 lines? Still, I'm glad someone has talked about this weird movie and how messed up was that scene
The meat they had for dinner - was that implied cannibalism? Part of the legend was that he got rid of the bodies by eating them. Then, when kenan asked “what do you call this… dish?” Arthur was like.. “I assure you, it’s… meat.”
Most Nick sitcoms end abruptly: Keenan and kel, Drake and Josh, victorious, Sam and cat. It's like the writers ran out of ideas. How do you end chaotic shows like Keenan and kel?
They were getting too old when Kenan & Kel finished they were 21. Kel already had 1 baby and was married. Both of them were slowly moving on to other projects while they were wrapping up All That S5 and Kenan and Kel S4
@@guilhermehank4938 Umm are you crazy? Yeah it did. The final episode Really Big Shrimp. Drake got a record deal and his song played during Super Bowl Sunday. Josh became his manager and the manger of the Premier. How did you forget a whole two part finale 😭
I thought I had never heard of this episode, but the scene of Kel hiding in the backseat brought it back to me. I can't believe there is still TV special nostalgia to be mined from the depths of my brain.
It was way better. Kenan & Kel are Charlie Chaplin and Mr bean level amazing, Drake and Josh is a forced rip off, my most fav Keenan and Kel episode was the Turkey episode.
This video unlocked unsettling memories I didn't know I had. I remember being way too small and flipping through channels when I saw that woman being sent away from the table, screaming as she was pulled into the wall, and then seeing her lifeless head just sitting on the table. Even with the jokes, I couldn't sleep forever.
I am SO glad I'm finally seeing somebody talk about this buckwild series finale! I've been telling people about this movie for years, but nobody else seems to remember it, even though the terror it instilled in me has been permanently etched into my brain. It truly feels like a real life creepypasta. Most of the sillier scenes I had forgotten, but what really stuck with me were the maid without any eyelids, the dinner scene where it is implied they're being fed human flesh, and of course, the severed heads in the dungeon. I was a huge Kenyan and Kel fan as a kid, so tor the series to end on such an uncharacteristically dark note was a real shock to me. Its nice to finally have some confirmation that this wasn't just some bizarre fever dream
Another morbid scene is when it's implied that they're eating the bodies of the victims! If i remember correctly they ask what theyre eating and the headless knight just says... "You know... meat." Idk why i remember that from 20 years ago lol
I love Kenan & Kel sooooooo much, you just don’t understand how deep the love is... I wish they’d reboot it!! I don’t care how many years have gone by. They could do 20 netflix movies together and I’d watch every single one of them.
I'd rather them do some kind of reunion special with kenan and kel as adults rather than a full reboot. It was really the actors themselves that sold it.
I *loved* Kenan & Kel as a kid. Good Burger is a classic. That said, I remember being super upset Kel wasn’t included on SNL when Kenan debuted. I later found out that Lorne Michaels REFUSED to hire them both. He would only take one. What an absolute fool. He literally had an already made tried and successful brand worth millions handed to him! He had nothing to lose to try it out. I would like to know what his reasoning was. He also picked Kenan who always played more of a straight man in everything while Kel was actually better at improv. Kenan’s skits on All That, like the one with him sitting it a bath tub in a raincoat while using a mocking French accent, got on my nerves or were just stupid but Kel’s was way more of a quick thinking & physical comedian.
The fact that Kenan is the currently the most tenured SNL member proves Lorne Michaels made the right choice. Kenan is a lot more versatile than just playing the straight man too
OMG. I thought I dreamed this movie until you mentioned the Superstition segment! I also didn’t know this was the series finale. It’s a perfect Halloween episode. I also would love to see your take on Good Burger or even Snow Day. The latter is really funny and a true snow day is starting to be nonexistent with virtual classrooms so it’s practically an artifact!
I thought I was the only one who remembered the Superstition segment! I remember enjoying this episode but couldn't remember a single thing about it except that.
So, thoughts: Firstly and most importantly, I'm so glad you uploaded this. As someone who enjoyed Kenan and Kel as a young boy back in the day, I'm so glad to see someone talking about this TV special/movie/finale thing. It almost feels like a fever dream, considering I remember certain scenes and bits of dialogue (such as Kel telling Kenan "nighty night night" in the motel scene) so well and yet you will hardly ever see it show up again, even when Teen Nick actually decides to air Kenan and Kel for a while. So of course, this made me happy. Thanks, Jordan! Secondly, I assume that despite how awesome it is, the most likely reason it won't air on TV again is because of that chimp playing Superstition on piano. Considering the "Rugrats go on vacation" special won't be airing again because of copyright issues involving a song Angelica sings, I'm going to assume the same issue plagues Two Heads are Better Than None, but because of Superstition instead. Guessing Nickelodeon either can't or won't bother renewing their copyright legal mumbo jumbo in order to air this one Kenan and Kel special/movie/etc. And finally... 11:30 Updated, vaguely anime-ish(?) Jordan, meet classic Regular Show-ish(?) Jordan! ...That just amused me, sorry for wasting everyone's time. I'll see myself out. Thanks for reading.
I remember how shocked I was as a kid when I saw the heads of the other residents. Like, not only is decapitation heavily implied but the aftermath is shown. Not something I expected from such a silly show. I didn't know it was the ending, though. I remember talking about this show on a date and she said, "It took a lot of inspiration from the Chapelle Show." I was confused and told her that the Chapelle Show came out years after and then she called it "Keen and Pel." I asked her if she meant, "Key and Peele," and she did. I was like, "ya done messed up, Suh-zan-aye!"
Would love to see a kenan and kel continuation with Kenan being a father and Kel dropping by as the fun uncle. Kenan is trying to get over his ex while Kel does everything in his power to help Kenan get over his ex. Pretty much what they are doing with iCarly but mixed with full house.
This may be absurdly high praise, but this special reminded me of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein where the horror elements were played straight. The monsters/ghosts were still a threat and not a joke even though the comedians still did their humor shtick around them. Too many horror comedies shy away from the "scary" parts.
You are quickly becoming my favorite youtuber. From things buried in the deepest chambers of my mind, to many obscure things of my childhood I think about that are too specific to talk to friends about. Loving all the content! Keep it up!
FINALLY a good Kenan and Kel video! This was my absolute favourite show! Very few shows would make me laugh OUT LOUD as a kid, the way K&K did. Don’t get me wrong - other shows were fun to watch, but not necessarily *funny*. Disney “comedies” included. I remember laughing till I cried and almost peeing my pants with the lottery episode when they fall off the window. The one when they’re locked in the freezer never fails to make me smile. And of course, the one with the screw in the tuna. Oh, humanity! I could go on and on. Absolute best Nickelodeon show.
Tbh I do kinda prefer the old logo, don't get me wrong, this new one looks much nicer and like you actually paid an artist to make it, but idk the old one just kinda has this happy silliness that I really like, but I don't really care either way, your content is still AMAZING, and I'm glad you did a video about this, I remember as a kid I didn't really like the TV movie angle they went with, it felt so weird and out of place
Fun fact. This movie gave me nightmares for several days. This and the Are You Afraid of the Dark movie are permanently burned into my reccurring nightmares lol.
That episode when Kel was throwing corn dogs was an awesome episode and I was there for that filming. Those corn dogs were ice cold and I was sad AF because they made it seem like we were getting fed. Lol
Just stumbled on this channel and I'm *more* than pleased. Kenan & Kel was an excellent show that was fun - it had genuine societal and cultural impact. While the main cast was black, the audience was diverse (and more importantly in their developmental stages) also -unlike many shows of the era with B/POC title characters(with the exception of the one-off for a "special episode" to illustrate prejudice ect), it didn't exist in a racial vacuum and the supporting cast was more diverse than most. Yes, it was silly and left loose ends in moments, but it was significantly more progressive and ahead of it's time than we could have ever realized. Ironically, it's the type of program that we are advocating for today and it was done nearly 30 years ago.
I LOVED Kenan and Kel! I remember seeing this late at night with my Brother when we were little kids and cracking up the whole time! I had no idea that that was how the series concluded though. You should definitely make more Kenan and Kel videos :)
I'm just curious. But did anyone else ever see the "Kenan & kel" and "Cousin Skeeter" crossover movie? Because that was A LOT more strange than this was.
Wow, I completely forgot about this special! I don't remember watching it growing up, but I loved, and still love, Keenan and Kel as a whole. Another great video Jordan! I hope your surgery goes well! 🙂 Don't worry about your logo. We can't please everyone in the world, so might as well keep the one you want. This is just my opinion; I prefer your newer logo a little more because it's more polished and ascetically on the cuter side while still rocking the beard.
I kinda want you to remake all of these videos with the old mascot logo instead of the creepy one you trialled. I know you make light of it, but I find them too unsettling and distracting to enjoy the videos with them in.
Omg I remember this, I thought it was a fever dream I saw as a kid, it freaked me out and I tried to find it online, I didn’t know it was the series finale, I definitely remember this because I saw it after a rerun of all that in the early 2000s, remember when they did that?
Thank you, I never got over the brief decapitated heads scene because it was so raw. Like "oh yeah these people died let's just move along" when in reality I was thinking "are they dead?!"
Yes! Kenan & Kel was my favorite show growing up. And this was my fav Halloween movie. Just the other day I was looking into see if episodes were streaming. Thanks for the heads up on the iTunes lol Overall, I really do hope that one day they get together and at least make a movie. I'm sure a lot of us miss them
i was born april 96. i remember the day this episode came out. i didnt know it was the last episode at the time. i loved kenan and kel i grew up with it. its a huge hit of nostalgia for me. that yarn ball has been in my dreams more times than i care to remember lmao.
I loved this movie. Very underrated. This proved they could’ve did more and took this to the big screen. We deserved more kenan and kel the show was literally getting better and better. Last 2 seasons🔥
The way the movie originally appeared on TV was with the opening. I remember back in the day after Nickelodeon premiered a movie they use to switch stuff like that around every once in a while. I’m not 100% sure why, but I think it had something to do with fitting into a specific time frame or allowing more commercials to be played during the movie. But it did originally open with Kenan and Kel facing a blank audience. I believe I have it recorded on VHS somewhere.
Drake & Josh of course inspired by Kenan & Kel even though I think Drake & Josh the best show that Dan Schneider made but I use to say I hope Kenan & Kel got another movie but this show is so old and the younger generation never heard of the show sadly.
personally, I don't remember watching this made for tv movie before back when I was nearly 8 when this premiered and it was always my bedtime whenever Snick and Nick at Nite was on back then!
I loved this movie growing up, the headless body on the car at the end did creep me out ngl. It occurs to me watching this video, that this movie is all I remember about Kennan & Kel, the Yarn ball, Superstition, everything with the Headless Knight. I know I've seen the show before, but I can't even remember Chris, completely blank when you mentioned him. All this to say, you should totally do an episode on the full show.
This will forever be one of my favorite shows. I remember getting so excited whenever a new episode would air. Kenan & Kel really meant a lot to me growing up and I thought the movie was great. I think one of my favorite episodes was Season 2's "Get the Kell Outta Here" (pretty risque title for a kid's show) where Roger finally gets fed up with Kel's antics and bans him from the house after Kel injures him pretty severely. I love how hard Kel tried to make things better, but we all know that the more Kel tries to help... the worse he makes it. The Bye-Bye Kenan finale special always really tugged at my heartstrings too, touching on some deep concepts for kids like moving away, losing friends, changing schools etc.
Hi Greatness Jordan! Ah my goodness, this was the original hype on Nickelodeon. It’s always funny that Kenan Thompson blew a trumpet at Carly and Tori ex boyfriend. I hope you have a Wonderful Happy Thursday! :)
Rockville isn’t too terrifying 😂 I can’t look at orange soda without thinking of these two. My favorite episode is when they were on the honeymoon gameshow. I loved this video, keep up the great work!!
Kel would often do things that truly shocked me even though I knew well that the show was meant to be ridiculous. I remember the innocent pizza boy walking through the door to deliver a pizza, only to be brutally knocked unconscious when Kel breaks what looked like a very heavy vase over the kid's head! Kel hit him because he was afraid that he thought the person coming through the door was a serial killer who was on the loose. But it was Kel who ordered the pizza... and the kid ANNOUNCED himself before he walked through the opened door! He did the same thing with a police officer. Keenan walks into the kitchen to find Kel standing over a cop that he had just knocked unconscious. KEL: i couldn't help it... he scared me by what he said before he came in! KENAN: What did he say?? KEL: He said, "It's the police, I'm coming in."
I cant even enjoy Kenan & Kel anymore because I just start thinking about how Kenan really wants nothing to do with Kel anymore. I looooved the show as a kid, and when I was young, wanted a best friend like that, but something a Nickelodeon show is never going to teach you is sometimes your best friends are the people you have to put in your rear view mirror, for your own sanity or self respect. But dang, were they a good combo.
staying up to watch Snick with my sister was one of the greatest joys of my childhood...the anticipation (heightened by its pre-programming advertising and countdown) almost surpassed the excitement of actually watching the shows...and when i think about it, the only ever time i ever really felt that again was in college with my buddies whilst we waited for the 2nd run of Adult Swim programming at night (which usually started at 2am, repeating the the previous four hours of programming) - even though we would always skip the anime...its funny because as a middle-aged man, I would probably skip most of the USA adult swim programming...
I would have loved to see Kel saving the day for once. He was constantly ruining everything, it would have been a great ending to see him as the hero or something like that
Anyone know why season 4 didn’t have more episodes in like, winter 2000? It jumped from December 31st 1999 to April 2000. Was it only because they were contracted to make 13 episodes and wanted to spread it out? That’s also probably why season 1 and 2 had their finales in January.
Was this how the show really ended? I thought they did a clip show then the last thing was them doing their end of show but with Kel finally getting everything Kenan asked for Kel to get which gives Kenan a final idea and we get out last “Ah here it goes!”
I remember that clip show too at the end of K&K when it finished. Also don’t remember this movie being the series finale?? I could have sworn this movie aired BEFORE the Kenan & Kel show but since I was a kid I could be remembering everything wrong lol. But for sure kenan and kel had a final clip show when the show ended because it re-aired on the old noggin channel years ago.
The version where there's no audience aired on TV in Latin America (although I'm not 100% sure if a laugh track was included or not). In fact, that made the ending worse. Kenan & Kel exit the stage as usual, the body of the headless knight shrugs at the camera and then follows them. All of this in complete silence. I get that there couldn't be any applauses, but why not play music over this part before rolling the credits? It felt so awkward!
Thanks so much for watching! Were you a fan of Kenan & Kel? What was your favorite episode if so? (Also, at the end, I didn't add my Twitter handle, my bad, it's linked on my channel page though)
I'm a huge fan of that show it always makes me laugh so hard until I farted

@@TehWhiteTigerYup all episodes were great, this show was a gem indeed.
@@nawazeeshali4340 the episode were Kenan have 3 dates in the movies is the best one imo.
This video unlocked unsettling memories I didn't know I had. I remember being way too small and flipping through channels when I saw that woman being sent away from the table, screaming as she was pulled into the wall, and then seeing her lifeless head just sitting on the table. Even with the jokes, I couldn't sleep forever.
I am SO glad I'm finally seeing somebody talk about this buckwild series finale! I've been telling people about this movie for years, but nobody else seems to remember it, even though the terror it instilled in me has been permanently etched into my brain. It truly feels like a real life creepypasta. Most of the sillier scenes I had forgotten, but what really stuck with me were the maid without any eyelids, the dinner scene where it is implied they're being fed human flesh, and of course, the severed heads in the dungeon. I was a huge Kenyan and Kel fan as a kid, so tor the series to end on such an uncharacteristically dark note was a real shock to me. Its nice to finally have some confirmation that this wasn't just some bizarre fever dream
3:23 "I want you ahead" this whole time, the knight was a good guy trying to help Kenan succeed in his goals
Yeah, I remember this, seeing those three heads sitting around in the table, knowing that those people are dead REALLY freaked me out as a kid.
Yeah same for me too, and Kel making jokes about it kinda was unsettling with me
Another morbid scene is when it's implied that they're eating the bodies of the victims! If i remember correctly they ask what theyre eating and the headless knight just says... "You know... meat."
Idk why i remember that from 20 years ago lol
I love Kenan & Kel sooooooo much, you just don’t understand how deep the love is... I wish they’d reboot it!! I don’t care how many years have gone by. They could do 20 netflix movies together and I’d watch every single one of them.
I'd rather them do some kind of reunion special with kenan and kel as adults rather than a full reboot. It was really the actors themselves that sold it.
That Don't Be A Menace reference was great
Ey, we're one of the five people!
“I get a little crazy when I drink”
I don’t get it
I got it 👍🏾
I *loved* Kenan & Kel as a kid. Good Burger is a classic. That said, I remember being super upset Kel wasn’t included on SNL when Kenan debuted. I later found out that Lorne Michaels REFUSED to hire them both. He would only take one. What an absolute fool. He literally had an already made tried and successful brand worth millions handed to him! He had nothing to lose to try it out. I would like to know what his reasoning was. He also picked Kenan who always played more of a straight man in everything while Kel was actually better at improv. Kenan’s skits on All That, like the one with him sitting it a bath tub in a raincoat while using a mocking French accent, got on my nerves or were just stupid but Kel’s was way more of a quick thinking & physical comedian.
The fact that Kenan is the currently the most tenured SNL member proves Lorne Michaels made the right choice. Kenan is a lot more versatile than just playing the straight man too
Kel himself talked about it in the past, but to summarize, his audition basically just went really badly in his own words.
get over that shit its dead
Kel was the funnier one on this show, I do agree with that. Kenan got on my nerves at times too.
Kenan and kel was a show resonated with all audiences.
. They ruined a good opportunity
I find it weird that Kenan went on to star on SNL for far too long, but Kel didn't go on to do anything mainstream like that
OMG. I thought I dreamed this movie until you mentioned the Superstition segment! I also didn’t know this was the series finale. It’s a perfect Halloween episode.
I also would love to see your take on Good Burger or even Snow Day. The latter is really funny and a true snow day is starting to be nonexistent with virtual classrooms so it’s practically an artifact!
I thought I was the only one who remembered the Superstition segment! I remember enjoying this episode but couldn't remember a single thing about it except that.
So, thoughts:
Firstly and most importantly, I'm so glad you uploaded this. As someone who enjoyed Kenan and Kel as a young boy back in the day, I'm so glad to see someone talking about this TV special/movie/finale thing. It almost feels like a fever dream, considering I remember certain scenes and bits of dialogue (such as Kel telling Kenan "nighty night night" in the motel scene) so well and yet you will hardly ever see it show up again, even when Teen Nick actually decides to air Kenan and Kel for a while. So of course, this made me happy. Thanks, Jordan!
Secondly, I assume that despite how awesome it is, the most likely reason it won't air on TV again is because of that chimp playing Superstition on piano. Considering the "Rugrats go on vacation" special won't be airing again because of copyright issues involving a song Angelica sings, I'm going to assume the same issue plagues Two Heads are Better Than None, but because of Superstition instead. Guessing Nickelodeon either can't or won't bother renewing their copyright legal mumbo jumbo in order to air this one Kenan and Kel special/movie/etc.
And finally... 11:30 Updated, vaguely anime-ish(?) Jordan, meet classic Regular Show-ish(?) Jordan! ...That just amused me, sorry for wasting everyone's time. I'll see myself out. Thanks for reading.
I remember how shocked I was as a kid when I saw the heads of the other residents. Like, not only is decapitation heavily implied but the aftermath is shown. Not something I expected from such a silly show.
I didn't know it was the ending, though. I remember talking about this show on a date and she said, "It took a lot of inspiration from the Chapelle Show." I was confused and told her that the Chapelle Show came out years after and then she called it "Keen and Pel." I asked her if she meant, "Key and Peele," and she did. I was like, "ya done messed up, Suh-zan-aye!"
Would love to see a kenan and kel continuation with Kenan being a father and Kel dropping by as the fun uncle. Kenan is trying to get over his ex while Kel does everything in his power to help Kenan get over his ex. Pretty much what they are doing with iCarly but mixed with full house.
I remember being genuinely shocked seeing those heads as a kid. I was like can you show this on Nickelodeon?
Nickelodeon had balls back then.
This may be absurdly high praise, but this special reminded me of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein where the horror elements were played straight. The monsters/ghosts were still a threat and not a joke even though the comedians still did their humor shtick around them. Too many horror comedies shy away from the "scary" parts.
You are quickly becoming my favorite youtuber. From things buried in the deepest chambers of my mind, to many obscure things of my childhood I think about that are too specific to talk to friends about. Loving all the content! Keep it up!
Truly means a lot to me, thank you so much for the support!
FINALLY a good Kenan and Kel video! This was my absolute favourite show! Very few shows would make me laugh OUT LOUD as a kid, the way K&K did. Don’t get me wrong - other shows were fun to watch, but not necessarily *funny*. Disney “comedies” included. I remember laughing till I cried and almost peeing my pants with the lottery episode when they fall off the window. The one when they’re locked in the freezer never fails to make me smile. And of course, the one with the screw in the tuna. Oh, humanity! I could go on and on. Absolute best Nickelodeon show.
The fact that when cooley died some ppl reference the Kenan and kel theme song tells you how big the show was
I loved when Roger sang Home on the Range, and seeing everyone's expressions. Lol
Part was funny af. I remember in 2017 it was on TH-cam and I would replay that part like 20 times. Hahah
I remember this episode so vividly. It was the only kid show I could get my mom to watch with me
Well it WAS a great show for all ages and they should have a reunion
It’s obviously not the greatest show but as an adult now I definitely find it perfectly watchable and even funny in a lot of parts.
No laugh tracks on original, this was treated like a full length feature film
I always thought it was a TV movie not a finale for the show
I used to love this show but somehow the only thing i remember is when they made a parody of singing in the rain but the rain was orange soda
This movie always had me in tears from laughing. The writers made a classic.
I feel like it was a mistake to not call this episode "The Kels Have Eyes" lol
Good one! What about "Kelraiser?"
especially considering the butler was in the hills have eyes
@@kyletowers9662 yep, that's the joke
@@Silvercanth maybe if Doug Bradley had been the butler instead of Michael Berryman
@@CinnamonGrrlErin1 I'm really dumb and didn't catch that aspect of the joke initially. Maybe I'll learn to tell faces apart one of these days, lol.
Tbh I do kinda prefer the old logo, don't get me wrong, this new one looks much nicer and like you actually paid an artist to make it, but idk the old one just kinda has this happy silliness that I really like, but I don't really care either way, your content is still AMAZING, and I'm glad you did a video about this, I remember as a kid I didn't really like the TV movie angle they went with, it felt so weird and out of place
The new logo looks so much better tho imo
Fun fact. This movie gave me nightmares for several days. This and the Are You Afraid of the Dark movie are permanently burned into my reccurring nightmares lol.
That episode when Kel was throwing corn dogs was an awesome episode and I was there for that filming. Those corn dogs were ice cold and I was sad AF because they made it seem like we were getting fed. Lol
You still ate it? 😆 or they took them back?
Just stumbled on this channel and I'm *more* than pleased. Kenan & Kel was an excellent show that was fun - it had genuine societal and cultural impact. While the main cast was black, the audience was diverse (and more importantly in their developmental stages) also -unlike many shows of the era with B/POC title characters(with the exception of the one-off for a "special episode" to illustrate prejudice ect), it didn't exist in a racial vacuum and the supporting cast was more diverse than most.
Yes, it was silly and left loose ends in moments, but it was significantly more progressive and ahead of it's time than we could have ever realized.
Ironically, it's the type of program that we are advocating for today and it was done nearly 30 years ago.
I LOVED Kenan and Kel! I remember seeing this late at night with my Brother when we were little kids and cracking up the whole time! I had no idea that that was how the series concluded though. You should definitely make more Kenan and Kel videos :)
Thank you for the heart!!!
I'm just curious.
But did anyone else ever see the "Kenan & kel" and "Cousin Skeeter" crossover movie?
Because that was A LOT more strange than this was.
Wow, I completely forgot about this special! I don't remember watching it growing up, but I loved, and still love, Keenan and Kel as a whole. Another great video Jordan! I hope your surgery goes well! 🙂
Don't worry about your logo. We can't please everyone in the world, so might as well keep the one you want.
This is just my opinion; I prefer your newer logo a little more because it's more polished and ascetically on the cuter side while still rocking the beard.
This show cultivated my love for orange soda
Awesome vid, much love 🕉️♥️
Haha thanks so much! 😄
I never noticed the spooky figure locking the gate.
That to me was one of the best moments
I kinda want you to remake all of these videos with the old mascot logo instead of the creepy one you trialled. I know you make light of it, but I find them too unsettling and distracting to enjoy the videos with them in.
Omg I remember this, I thought it was a fever dream I saw as a kid, it freaked me out and I tried to find it online, I didn’t know it was the series finale, I definitely remember this because I saw it after a rerun of all that in the early 2000s, remember when they did that?
I remeber re watching K&K in college and it still hods up. This show was everything to me as a kid. god it was great
That "stoic looking butler" is legendary horror actor Michael Berryman
yes
Thank you, I never got over the brief decapitated heads scene because it was so raw. Like "oh yeah these people died let's just move along" when in reality I was thinking "are they dead?!"
This show was literally 🔥 nice to see u covering it :)
i was obsessed with this show but never knew the true ending 🥺
Trade Offer:
I receive: Fringe reviewing Big Fat Liar.
You receive: me finally shutting up about it.
Yes! Kenan & Kel was my favorite show growing up. And this was my fav Halloween movie. Just the other day I was looking into see if episodes were streaming. Thanks for the heads up on the iTunes lol
Overall, I really do hope that one day they get together and at least make a movie. I'm sure a lot of us miss them
All episodes aside from the movie are on Paramount Plus and Amazon as well
@@JordanFringe94 oh sweet! Thank you so much! Definitely will binge watch ☺️
They got together for that Goodburger skit years ago on the Tonight show
i was born april 96.
i remember the day this episode came out. i didnt know it was the last episode at the time. i loved kenan and kel i grew up with it. its a huge hit of nostalgia for me. that yarn ball has been in my dreams more times than i care to remember lmao.
I actually do not remember the ending of the show! Didn’t realize it was filmed like a movie! That’s pretty tight
I loved this movie. Very underrated. This proved they could’ve did more and took this to the big screen. We deserved more kenan and kel the show was literally getting better and better. Last 2 seasons🔥
Jesus. They could've made the heads look funny, have them talk or something, but they look so disturbing to me! Genuinely out of a horror movie.
The way the movie originally appeared on TV was with the opening. I remember back in the day after Nickelodeon premiered a movie they use to switch stuff like that around every once in a while. I’m not 100% sure why, but I think it had something to do with fitting into a specific time frame or allowing more commercials to be played during the movie. But it did originally open with Kenan and Kel facing a blank audience. I believe I have it recorded on VHS somewhere.
I’m so happy you made this. Kenan and Kel is such a hilarious show but no one ever talks about it!!!!!! Definitely underrated
Kenan and kel has a big international cult following
Drake & Josh of course inspired by Kenan & Kel even though I think Drake & Josh the best show that Dan Schneider made but I use to say I hope Kenan & Kel got another movie but this show is so old and the younger generation never heard of the show sadly.
Sadly facts
personally, I don't remember watching this made for tv movie before back when I was nearly 8 when this premiered and it was always my bedtime whenever Snick and Nick at Nite was on back then!
I loved this movie growing up, the headless body on the car at the end did creep me out ngl. It occurs to me watching this video, that this movie is all I remember about Kennan & Kel, the Yarn ball, Superstition, everything with the Headless Knight. I know I've seen the show before, but I can't even remember Chris, completely blank when you mentioned him.
All this to say, you should totally do an episode on the full show.
Whats weird is I was sitting at my PC, Squirting ketchup on my plate as the Ketchup Couple came on
R.E.M. has a song titled “Don’t Go Back to Rockville” released in the 80’s
This will forever be one of my favorite shows. I remember getting so excited whenever a new episode would air. Kenan & Kel really meant a lot to me growing up and I thought the movie was great. I think one of my favorite episodes was Season 2's "Get the Kell Outta Here" (pretty risque title for a kid's show) where Roger finally gets fed up with Kel's antics and bans him from the house after Kel injures him pretty severely. I love how hard Kel tried to make things better, but we all know that the more Kel tries to help... the worse he makes it.
The Bye-Bye Kenan finale special always really tugged at my heartstrings too, touching on some deep concepts for kids like moving away, losing friends, changing schools etc.
So nostalgic! I'm sure everyone has said that but forreal. I remember setting the TV reminder to watch this last episode as a kid.
People forget bout the Kenan and Kel Cousin Skeeter crossover. Harder to find.
Just mentioned it in a previous video, will fully cover eventually
Hi Greatness Jordan! Ah my goodness, this was the original hype on Nickelodeon. It’s always funny that Kenan Thompson blew a trumpet at Carly and Tori ex boyfriend. I hope you have a Wonderful Happy Thursday! :)
Thanks so much! Have a great day as well!
@@JordanFringe94 Your welcome! :D
7 year old me living in Rockville, MD was screaming at the TV YES THERE IS A ROCKVILLE
This unlocked a memory i forgot i had, this was such a fire “movie “ not too sure when it released but i watched it when i was like 6-7 all the time
Rockville isn’t too terrifying 😂
I can’t look at orange soda without thinking of these two.
My favorite episode is when they were on the honeymoon gameshow.
I loved this video, keep up the great work!!
Thanks so much man!
Kel would often do things that truly shocked me even though I knew well that the show was meant to be ridiculous. I remember the innocent pizza boy walking through the door to deliver a pizza, only to be brutally knocked unconscious when Kel breaks what looked like a very heavy vase over the kid's head! Kel hit him because he was afraid that he thought the person coming through the door was a serial killer who was on the loose. But it was Kel who ordered the pizza... and the kid ANNOUNCED himself before he walked through the opened door! He did the same thing with a police officer. Keenan walks into the kitchen to find Kel standing over a cop that he had just knocked unconscious.
KEL: i couldn't help it... he scared me by what he said before he came in!
KENAN: What did he say??
KEL: He said, "It's the police, I'm coming in."
I cant even enjoy Kenan & Kel anymore because I just start thinking about how Kenan really wants nothing to do with Kel anymore. I looooved the show as a kid, and when I was young, wanted a best friend like that, but something a Nickelodeon show is never going to teach you is sometimes your best friends are the people you have to put in your rear view mirror, for your own sanity or self respect.
But dang, were they a good combo.
“Who loves orange soda?”
Kel loves orange soda!
Is it true?
Mmm hmmm
This was the first episode of Kenan and kel I ever saw,I always thought this was a continuation of good burger,glad to see you cover this.
I remember seeing the no audience opening when this premiered.
I got that Don't be a Menace spoof movie reference right away man. Thanks for it.😂
staying up to watch Snick with my sister was one of the greatest joys of my childhood...the anticipation (heightened by its pre-programming advertising and countdown) almost surpassed the excitement of actually watching the shows...and when i think about it, the only ever time i ever really felt that again was in college with my buddies whilst we waited for the 2nd run of Adult Swim programming at night (which usually started at 2am, repeating the the previous four hours of programming) - even though we would always skip the anime...its funny because as a middle-aged man, I would probably skip most of the USA adult swim programming...
I would have loved to see Kel saving the day for once. He was constantly ruining everything, it would have been a great ending to see him as the hero or something like that
Good Burger was a classic
I wrote the Keenan and Kel theme song with Coolio, really proud of that one.
So Kel is basically the Steve Urkel of Kenan’s family
Except the whole show didn't become just about him
Just a dumb version of him.
@@gamerbull2183 so basically Kel is a mixture of Waldo and Steve lol
I think a later version of the “no audience” was later put in the episode because I definitely remember seeing this on tv doing that time.
Anyone else recognize that the butler was one of the mutants from The Hills Have Eyes?
Anyone know why season 4 didn’t have more episodes in like, winter 2000? It jumped from December 31st 1999 to April 2000. Was it only because they were contracted to make 13 episodes and wanted to spread it out? That’s also probably why season 1 and 2 had their finales in January.
Was this how the show really ended? I thought they did a clip show then the last thing was them doing their end of show but with Kel finally getting everything Kenan asked for Kel to get which gives Kenan a final idea and we get out last “Ah here it goes!”
I remember that clip show too at the end of K&K when it finished. Also don’t remember this movie being the series finale?? I could have sworn this movie aired BEFORE the Kenan & Kel show but since I was a kid I could be remembering everything wrong lol. But for sure kenan and kel had a final clip show when the show ended because it re-aired on the old noggin channel years ago.
This movie distracted my friend from his homesickness and saved our sleepover. That was a great 6th birthday.
I used to love this movie! I hadn’t realized it was used as the series finale!
The version where there's no audience aired on TV in Latin America (although I'm not 100% sure if a laugh track was included or not). In fact, that made the ending worse. Kenan & Kel exit the stage as usual, the body of the headless knight shrugs at the camera and then follows them. All of this in complete silence. I get that there couldn't be any applauses, but why not play music over this part before rolling the credits? It felt so awkward!
