I've watched every iteration of this sketch and Kenan introducing himself as "Reese De'What" has never once failed to spark laughter from the studio audience

[@jtw.111]

@Jimmy Not really. You can always tell when a joke falls flat.

his delivery alone can make a bad joke funny.

It must be an American thing. I can't find him funny at all.

he is an actor... its his craft...

"Where is this racoon taking us?" - I died.

[@jrcharney]

eraspirn it should have ended with the racoon driving them off a cliff. #Toonces

[@idadudenmanner]

jrcharney that's why I clicked on this! I thought it was Toonces The Remake!!! I miss that murder/suicide comedy cat...

[@idadudenmanner]

jrcharney thought actually I've always expected that Toonces leaps to freedom before the car goes over the cliff!

[@jrcharney]

Ida Dudenmanner Toonces was not homicidal/suicidal. He was a cat who THOUGHT he could drive. Kind of like this Uber driver who is taking me home right now--wait a second. This guy is no cabbie! He's a Tabby and--LOOK OUT! AHHHH! [Screeching tires] [Flying off a cliff] [Crashes]

@@piglomiglit Wow, thanks for the info. Going to try to find it. Reviews state that it's so deliberately bad, that the film has you in stitches. Campy B (or more like D) stuff, for sure. Ed Wood be turning in his grave.

Try the movie Spoils of Babylon it has a vibe to this

[@NiVi192]

You know there are, right? Only those people were serious about that acting style? 😄 Nevermind, there actually are great US films from the forties.

[@TheBlarggle]

Check out the Val Kilmer classic "Top Secret!" It's a goofy spoof movie set in a serious WW2 spy movie genre.

I’ll never forget the first time I watched this film. The family was confused but we all grew a little closer because of it. I hope they never do a remake because it will never compare to the original

[@martinpalmer9810]

"Where is this raccoon taking us?" I almost died. Absolutely brilliant!

[@brosegoes]

Reese De'Whatup w/ that!

[@ChopAndBrew]

Nice!

[@TheCatBilbo]

The bear in the hat, the squirrel, the raccoon, people trying not to 'corpse'... couldn't stop laughing.

[@ayelemensah8816]

That deer truly steals the show! What an incredibly inspiring performance!

[@michaelscaplis]

They should make more Reese de What sketches.

[@BrianRetro]

When I saw the raccoon driving the car, I kept thinking he was going to pull a Toonces and drive the car off a cliff!

[@kari7403]

That raccoon was the one who eventually took out, The Tooncinator! Or, I like to think, any way. Lol

[@jaymestratton6235]

Omg yes I loved Toonces and this would've been a perfect time to reintroduce Toonces!! Toonces watch out!!!

I’ve seen other people say this, but Kenan is honestly the gift we didn’t deserve but god said we needed.

So sad they let him go.

Instead, he was the first Taran.

That hyena was beautifully done, thing had a life of it's own, props to whoever the taxidermist was!
