Keegan-Michael Key On Obama & Angry Black Wives | CONAN on TBS

[@kate_6436]

And then Obama actually used him as his real life anger translator in a speech this year and it was AWESOME

[@KevinP32270]

+Kate H YES..LOVED IT lolol

[@damnhandles]

Well it was the Correspondents Dinner so it's not like he was at a G8 Summit or something.

[@awesomedude584]

Obama was the coolest president of all time.

[@00bean00]

Wait, he did?

[@dewokbabys3140]

00bean00 lies

[@larrytherangerdog]

This guy (Key) is mad talented

[@HOTD108_]

I'm a little confused as to which guy you're referring to here. Could you be more specific?

[@David-8798]

Bald guy. ​@@HOTD108_

[@Yisrael_Teshuvah]

I hope Key And Peele lasts for a very long time on television. It's one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.

[@captainobvious8037]

They are still producin skits right :D

[@iggy5237]

Nope

[@majicalcoach]

Why did the chicken cross the road? Well, you first gotta understand that this chicken had a hard childhood. His father left when he had yet to hatch. His mother looked after him for a few years, but she was a druggie and didn’t do that great a job. Eventually she sold him into slavery in exchange for a hit. For a few years he worked as a slave laborer on a farm just north of the border. The man who owned the farm was about as cruel and sadistic as they get, but to all outward appearances he was the model of virtue and a pillar of the community, so nobody suspected that he had seventy slave chickens working for him. Eventually this chicken snapped and murdered the farm owner by pecking open his jugular vein. He left the farm. Shortly after the owner’s family found out who killed him and put up a one million dollar bounty, payable to whoever found, tortured and killed the chicken. Fearing for his life, the chicken headed up north. He fell in with the chicken mafia, and worked as a hitchicken and general muscle for a few years. He slowly earned enough money to rent a house and get established, although he had to keep his head down to avoid getting noticed. He met a nice hen, and they started dating. Now, the chicken was getting tired of killing other chickens for a living. He’d been attending classes part time, and had been told by his teachers that he was real smart. They even wanted to give him a scholarship to go to college overseas. That never worked out, however. The chicken’s girlfriend got pregnant, and he decided to stay in the country to care for the resulting chicks. He tried to quit the mafia. His bosses were not very pleased about his decision, and told him it would be a shame if anything bad happened to his family. The chicken bought a strong lock for his apartment, although he still constantly worried about his family. The chicken got a job in an office. It was mind-numbingly boring, but it paid the bills and didn’t involve killing anyone. Two years later the chicken got two strokes of bad luck. Firstly, the company was going through hard times and had decided to lay him off. Secondly, he had developed severe respiratory problems; the doctor said it had something to do with exposure to agricultural chemicals from his days as a slave. When he went home to tell his wife the bad news, he found she wasn’t there. She had taken the children and left to be with another chicken. Well, the chicken went out and got good and drunk that night. He was standing outside a bar, watching the cars streak across the nearby highway, when he thought that it would be good to die. He didn’t have much to live for, and his life insurance policy would help his kids more than he ever could now. His death had to look like an accident, though. The highway! That was it! He would get run over, and be “accidentally” killed. The chicken staggered out over the road, trying to position himself in front of the largest vehicle possible. They swerved around him, furiously honking their horns and yelling obscenities at him. The chicken staggered on, and before he realized it he’d crossed the road and had reached the other side. The chicken still wasn’t dead, however. He slumped to the ground, weeping bitter tears.

Well now

[@timbovee8840]

You have too much time on your hands bud

[@mrlee6516]

1:28 I like how the cameraman followed Keegan. Must've thought Keegan was going to stand

[@DoctorPretorious616]

Good to see Keegan-Michael Key back on television, he is a funny guy who rocked on MAD TV!

[@sweetshay88]

One thing I really love about Key and Peele is that on their show they make fun of everybody without being sellouts. They never portray Black women as loud or ignorant or angry on their show and I appreciate that because the constant hatred you experience as a Black woman can be extremely overwhelming and depressing. Especially when you are not that way at all. My husband loves me, I'm awesome (yeah I said it lol). I do think the joke was in poor taste just considering the fact that he doesn't have a Black wife but I don't think he meant it maliciously. I think the way he portrays Black women on the show speaks more volumes than the little comment he made.

[@monigurl4229]

Great comment and I completely agree!

[@AdrimF254]

Sharon McCullum I'm not saying they portray any one race or gender badly but to say they never portray black women as loud or ignorant... Maegen... it's your jacket...

[@sweetshay88]

Jhon Madden I'm pretty sure Maegan is the portrayal of a white lady lol... Go back and take another peak

[@user-jt6xh2ln9z]

+Sharon McCullum not really...

[@user-jt6xh2ln9z]

+Sharon McCullum but it's an exception

[@GipperGirl1972]

Key is about the funniest, cutest thing ever. Loved his comedy for YEARS.

[@VENUS.SE7EN]

I'm proud to be a passionate Black woman. On occasion, others misconstrue that passion for anger. That's okay. I know myself best, and I know who and what I am.

[@Cre8iveStudios]

I knew Keegan was one of the funniest people alive and so underrated when i watched coach hines about 6 years ago.

[@uzvisheni]

I remember this guy uses to do that pet show a long time ago. I loved him in that.

[@MirrorMei]

I know, right! and he was NEVER funny back then! Now he's one of my favourite comedians!

[@RealTalk-uk3yw]

I love it when he talks like Will Smith brings a lot of good memories back.

[@TheUKisThere]

What is wrong with everyone. It was just him using a stereotype.

[@TheUKisThere]

[@nyyankee488]

if people think this is only about black women and calling them a biiiiitttcchh, go do it to any woman. they no likey.

[@voicetube]

Steve Martin (growing up)… Then there was Chris Farley (the late great) and now Keegan-Michael Key - Currently my favorite comedian/Comic actor of our time. It's like you have genius… Then you add a bit of genius to that. Now add on like 5X more genius and you only began to approach the genius of this dude...

[@james00081]

"There's nothing scarier than a black wife" - yeah maybe thats why he's married to an old white woman.

[@chasesmith7826]

Tigerlily82 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😂😂

[@kamikani08]

@Smiles and the Twisted MD bitch please..see that wasnt so hard...girl go and bye!!!!!!😂

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

Key is such a nerd that he almost certainly married said old white woman because of her screen credit as Spock's mother Amanda in Star Trek V, rather than anything else.

[@user-mo1zj1tl3b]

And now he’s married to a slightly younger yt woman 💀 key and peele sure love their Becky’s

[@maellea8437]

11 or maybe he loved her and that’s why?

[@sahajamatya]

I loved him in 'Let's be Cops'! He can do a SICK Jamaican accent MON!

[@create87forward]

I'm a fan of Key and Peele. At the same time, I find it funny how Keegan-Michael Key can make a comment on "angry black wives" when his own wife and mother (two of the most important women in most men's lives) are white. Honestly, Robin Thicke and the late Roger Ebert are better qualified to make a comment on black women and wives LOL

[@nonya6022]

Comedian Gary Owen makes jokes about black women and black wives all the time. He is a white man saying it but I'd never take offense to it because he is often talking about his actual wife. But for Key to say something like that, its like how the heck would you know? You've never been married to a black woman in your life. It's like hearsay in court. If you didn't witness it yourself, it has no credibility.

[@Misaamanenoir]

And most people think we shouldn't have a problem with what he said..

[@lemonlovestea]

cool didnt know they were on conan!!

[@phuckewe178]

They both have white wives.

[@MrFX313]

You know what I do? I just sit back and enjoy the clip.

[@4daluvofnikki]

Here is the thing to those of you saying it is just comedy and Black Women should just lighten up. Most comedians usually make jokes based on their personal experience. This man from what I have heard was raised by a White Woman and he is married to a White Woman she looks older than him too. The joke would be funny if he was saying it from personal experience, but he has no frame of reference to draw from, therefore all he is doing is perpetuating a negative stereotype, that seems to haunt Black Women like myself. My Black Mother and Father have been married for decades and my mom treats my father just like a woman should. He is not complaining. I am sick of hearing especially from Black Men how ____________ (insert negative comment) Black Women are. Enough already.

[@93BlazinFire]

+4daluvofnikki It's a joke. There's a joke out there for every race, every gender and every combination of those two. I was gonna start to give some examples, but i'm sure you've heard them. I'm not saying you don't have a right to be offended by a joke made in bad taste, but it's not gonna stop, you're fighting a losing battle.

[@keeperkai999]

+4daluvofnikki Why would he need to marry a black women to be able to tell jokes? It's a joke, lighten up. He could have dated dozens of black women before he got married, ever thought about that? Not that I'm saying black women are all like what he portrays in his sketches, it's comedy, it's supposed to make people laugh and it did. Just look at all the other ridiculous stuff in their sketches. If everyone of any group they used in their comedy would whine like this, then there would be no comedy left. In fact, you whining about this might just make people think that black women are all like that, which makes the stereotype even worse. So you really do need to lighten up.

[@WolfieZee]

+4daluvofnikki The whole stigma of "a joke can only be funny or okay if the teller is of the X group being discussed" This is comedy. Making fun of stereotypes is the point.

[@KevinP32270]

+4daluvofnikki relax..it's just comedy.

[@dtothee8730]

+4daluvofnikki "treats my father just like a woman should" Isn't that sexist? I'm not joking. See, that's a double standard. You're telling people that they are RACIST but your using a phrase that makes it clear that you're sexist. It's not about "Is it a negative thing or not". It's trying to label actions with something that does not matter with the issue. People would be offended by what you just said there.

[@KillSwitchhottie91]

Truth again! And you're right. I couldn't have said it better. Its messed up how they treat them. Funny how everybody is getting on you for stereotyping black guys but not addressing the stereotypes about black women shown. It took a white guy to realize this lol

[@i.i1215]

I really don’t feel comfortable with black or mixedrace men who don’t date Black women making any types of comments about black women especially comments that perpetuate false and harmful stereotypes

[@SSDragon19]

i love the "bitch" one the most. my sister and i joke around with it alot. its really funny

[@DivineLightFitness]

Although I think Keegn is very funny and talented, making this comment about Black Wives in general is very derogatory and sets up a continuous negative perception of black women. When you take the time and effort to study African American history before 1865, it is clear that the Black woman was not only raped by her masters but was not allowed to marry the father of her children. In addition, her children were often sold to the highest bidder. This history should not be forgotten, nor abused.

[@Misaamanenoir]

Yet they exploit it instead.

[@douluvly2010]

4daluvofnikki You have just reinforced the stereotype and the validity of the skit-and yes I'm a black man. Congrats!

[@PaisleyMarie80]

Yet he's divorcing his white wife...

[@elizabethbennet4791]

Oh no, is that true?

[@elizabethbennet4791]

[@AmKDWIFE]

Everyone ignores the racism thrown at black women. If this was an insult toward a black man their would be marches organized.. black women are the most discriminated against group in America.

[@Andu_music]

And just got engaged to another, younger, better looking white woman.

[@ENTme]

He just married another one

[@tennnine]

that time when Conan had a thriving mullet. wowza!

[@vickieoglesby536]

Whynt you say something good about black women? Tired of being out down!

[@maeburekaiser]

Using non-words like "whynt" doesn't help the cause of black women.

[@vickieoglesby536]

That is simply an abbreviation of why not.. I do know correct English.. However the cause of our women is how we are seen by others and how we are seen in the media

[@maeburekaiser]

vickie oglesby So your sentence, if read using your abbreviation, would be "Why not you say something good about black women?" Is that accurate? If so it is hardly an improvement. I think how you present yourself to others, including how you communicate, is an important part of changing the perceptions of others and the media.

[@maeburekaiser]

Karissa Becknel I haven't shot up any schools. I was referring specifically to something she did. Your response is akin to saying "black women screaming at people on the subway doesn't help the cause of black females." It is entirely irrelevant to you or her. I have no reason to believe that either of you have ever done that, so bringing it up is pointless. That is unless you want to just start making lists of shitty things that people do. But then we would be here forever.

[@iCHAWY]

For some reason Key reminds me of a black Shia LaBeouf. Not in physical features, but in the way they talk and joke around. I'm glad Keegan got his own show. It's hilarious.

[@Random8806]

Billy Nevels is right, it is just acting. But he isn't helping the already bad stigma that black women get by making that comment on national television. Funny? Yes. Helpful to black women? Nope.

My 2 fave scenes in the show xD

[@tylineburgos8879]

Funny guy but I think he should stay away from jokes knocking black wives when you've never had one or a black mother who was a black wife for you to draw on from experience. I hate being the person who over-analyzes a flippen joke but yea, I wasn't feeling it 9 years later after learning he's been married twice, neither a black woman and the fact that he wasn't raised by a black woman which is fine but colors the joke differently for me when learning those facts. Again very funny dude.

[@lotusscorpion8452]

Exactly! Culturally, this is a white man.

[@tylineburgos8879]

I didn't think that Obama assistant scetch was that funny BUT the black wives scetch is freakin hilarious, u gotta watch it

[@GoodMomBeauty]

The wives are black and shown in the full episode. Their race is pretty much the whole point of the skit based on what Key said in this interview on Conan. The idea is you don't dare disrespect a 'black wife'..at least not to her face. In real life this could apply to a woman of any race, but in this case it was black women. But I agree he did not attack black women.

[@23chiffy]
