Does Key an Peele suffer from lack of a cast?

I like the show, I think it's got some good skits. My problem is it's just those 2 guys in every single skit and i think it just drags the show down a bit. They need to add a couple lesser known comedians onto their show and it would be much better.

Anyone else agree?

It suffers from being an unfunny, wannabe Chappelle's Show

I think it's funny. And to be fair they couldn't just stop black skit comedy shows when Chapelle left. His show is the GOAT skit comedy show. Chapelle did have a solid supporting cast. These guys need to add some people.

They pay them peanuts to do a half hour show that can generate decent enough ratings. By that measure along, they will renew them until kingdom come.

Not really... They both have good range and can pull off almost any ethnicity/gender they want to.


Its easily the best skit show out there... Makes Inside Amy Shumer and Kroll show look like dog shite. Especially the latter, which is terrible imo

I think part of the appeal is how well they pull off different ethnicities and genders. I enjoy the fact that they are both centrally involved in every skit. It's the only show on Comedy Central I have set to record. I find it to be funnier than Chappelle show, but that's just me and my sense of humor. Everyone laughs at different stuff.

I think many of their skits are funny, but they last too long. Some of them seem to drag on.

I enjoy K&P a lot. I do agree that some of their skits go on WAY too long, but most of the time they're still good. I find that the skits are either completely horrible or do ole tell awesome. Rarely do I find them simply entertaining. It's very hit or miss IMO. But that being said, some of their skits are just fantastic. The east/west bowl game skit is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

the very nature of sketch comedy is that it's hit or miss

This. That's why I occasionally just check out the most popular skits on youtube. And with their taking up most of the screen time, they probably get to pocket more money than they would hiring decent bit actors to contribute.

Only slightly off topic, but I LOVED their being casted in Fargo.

I'm not sure if its too much of them, i think the skits are hit and miss. Funny show tho, i DVR and FF through the unfunny parts.

In comparison, the first two seasons of Chappelle had virtually no misses. Every skit he created was hilarious. Thats not normal, he was just GOAT.

The Obama stuff is about as unfunny as it gets. But I do enjoy at good many of their skits. They need to do more substitute teacher stuff.
