What’s it called when a sketch show only makes short films and not sketches? Is it just called Key & Peele? There should be more Key & Peele’s.
Key & Peele: Flicker
This is my favorite sketch of the season, and by far the one I spent the most time on in post-production, trying to get the timing of the edit and the music just right. One of the things I love about Keegan & Jordan is the way they heighten situations, and how they can take a simple joke to such ridiculous places in the writing, then have the acting chops to back it up. When I direct comedy I try to keep everything in a scene as grounded in an appropriate reality as possible, so the chance to make something so stupid be as self-important as this was, well, it’s the kind of thing I love making the most (see also Il Gatto). I know that because it’s a six minute sketch, it’s not exactly internet-friendly, but if you have a little free time, I’d love you to give it a watch, preferably in fullscreen and at a relatively loud volume.
