Key & Peele: Annual East/West Collegiate Bowl

From Key & Peele, the Comedy Central sketch show starring Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. (The announcer named "Jeff Worthing" is played by sportscaster Bill Seward, whom I went to school with from first through twelfth grade.)

It's not really college football without also an African name, such as Ngowa Mbube (delivered with a BBC announcer accent), a Haitian name such as Jean-Francois Perrier, and a West Indian name such as Cumberbatch Duncan-Forecastle.

Also, speaking of BYU, here's my posting on Mormon names, such as "Azer Baloo," "Bretile," "Clemouth, "Denim Levi," "D'Loaf," "EdDean," and "ElVoid."

  1. I really liked Jill Sprecher's CLOCKWATCHERS.

    THIN ICE is like FARGO as directed by Mamet. Very clever movie.

    This is mainstream culture among young kids of all races. How can gop brand appeal to future voters?

  6. It's not a good parody because it's too close to reality.

  8. It got a little old after the first four or five names. The crescendo was weak.

  9. Needed an African name like, say, Mbube Ngowa (the player should have a veddy veddy English accent) and a Haitian name like Jean-Franciosie Perrier.

  10. Also, a Jamaican name like Cumberbatch Forecastle.

  12. What's astounding is that these names aren't too far from the reality. Troofie, can black people name a kid now without an apostrophe? Does anyone want to bet on when we'll see our first ampersand or semi-colon?

  13. That was so racist that even racists think it's racist.

  14. Do black folks get it?

    It's a bit off on the surnames. "Funny" black surnames are either African or French, not made up like the given names.

  17. No player at Saskatchewan University would have that name. Needs more Ukrainian in it.
