The SAD Truth About Kenan & Kel | From Best Friends On & Off Camera To a Major Falling Out

[@beaniegee5129]

The theme song for Kenan & Kel will never get old. RIP Coolio

[@VidWatcher01]

Wait what?!?!? Coolio died?!?!??!

[@henryjetplane9067]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh here it goes!!!!!!

[@lrs1519]

It just pulls me back to a random Friday night around 7:30 or 8 at 8 years old. SMH.

[@DrunkMoblin]

They dedicated Good Burger 2 to Coolio and a couple others.

[@blockavelli]

Arguably one of the best theme songs from the era.

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

These two men are ‘fraternal’ twins. They’re energies just bounce off each other. I’m happy they have found their way back to each other. Friends…how many of us have them?

[@danavixen6274]

Okay Whodini! But, yes I'm glad they found their way back to each other as well! They are HILARIOUS in the Good Burger movies! 😅😅😅😅😅

Kel was my childhood crush! He’s still aging gracefully! ❤

[@nenep1872]

Exactly

[@AmoMe2009]

Fun Fact: Kel appeared and rapped in a music video called “Watch Me Do My Thang” by Immature(or IMX). That video and song was dope. 1996 was one of the most illest years in music just like 1997 was one of the most illest years in movies like Good Burger.

[@DanceArchives24]

Good times. I miss them so much. I love the Watch Me Do My Thing video. Though it makes me sad to know what was really going on with Marques Houston and Chris Stokes.

[@CharlesChristinaWH]

1:28 1:30 He was also the producer and creator of all that and Keenan and Kel Also played the class nerd in Head of the class

[@danisweetlove]

@@CharlesChristinaWH Dan Frischman was in Head of the Class but he didn’t create Keenan and Kel. Dan Schneider is the one who was a writer and producer of Keenan and Kel among other shows.

[@kiwthebeauty]

1996 was an iconic year

[@DanceArchives24]

It SURE was!! I feel like that was the last "pure" year, right before things started to change. 97 is when the sound def changed and started to go more futuristic. Before it became the "late 90s". When the industry started to copycat Missy & Tims style.@@kiwthebeauty

[@beaniegee5129]

Kel Mitchell also went on to voice T-Bone on Clifford the Big Red Dog, he appeared on The Parkers as Freddy fabulous, he also appeared in Kanye's all falls down video and he also appeared in the Pepsi commercial with Mo'Nique as well

[@AmoMe2009]

Oh that’s right. He was in that music video. Also he was the annoying landlord on One on One’s final season.

[@CharlesChristinaWH]

And he was mcburger on a g4 TV show attack of the show It was a parody of MC Hammer

[@princess_ama]

And Kenan voiced a guest character on an episode of Clifford

[@ogbarb5303]

kenan was also a guest star on the parker’s as well in season 1 i think

[@ogbarb5303]

and kel was apart of the nicelodeaon show called “game shakers”

[@Buggy-su4oy]

The dream sequence with Kel's orange soda hot tub is one of the funniest scenes on the show especially when Ken calls for the "orange monster" and he and Kenan laugh as it attacks Kel.

[@gregoryterry206]

Fun fact they were actually on another show together post Kenan and Kel and before Kenans snl career. They were on the Steve Harvey show together both playing classmates

[@JordanWashing]

Yep😂😂

[@24kRiverGold]

They was on Sister Sister too I think

[@gregoryterry206]

@24kRiverGold yea they had a guest appearance on sister sister but they actually had reoccurring roles on the Steve Harvey show

[@fayithh_]

Always loved Kenan & Kel!! One of the best parts of my childhood

[@RèLL2470]

I was born in 2000, so i didn’t watch Kenan & Kel til TeenNick’s 90s Are All That block. And since then its still my favorite Nickelodeon series

[@Iam_alicialove]

I’m so glad they reunited and it feels so good to see good burger 2 and their friendship growing like never before

[@lars7282]

Kenan seems more like the industry man, and Kel more like the individualist

[@bresams2917]

Thank You for doing this. Kids these days will never know. All they have is reality shows I feel sorry for them.

[@beaniegee5129]

I hope you do stories on One on One, Half & Half, All of Us, Cousin Skeeter, Blossom, The Parkers, Party of Five, Clarissa Explains it All, The Adventures of Pete & Pete, The Parent'Hood, Duckman, Passions, and Zoom

[@beaniegee5129]

Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell also appeared in the movie The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle

[@lrs1519]

This, All That, The Amanda Show and Cousin Skeeter was my whole childhood. Nickelodeon in the mid-late 90s and early to mid 00s Disney Channel was life.

[@thebrownbaldy]

Perfect timing for this since Good Burger 2 just came out. Glad to hear they're still cool with each after all these years. Respect...... FYI: there was the All That Reunion on Wild N Out as well

[@alysssabear]

And surprisingly Good Burger 2 was pretty good too

[@maryperry6573]

Lol 😅 perfect timing? They planned that because the movie just came out

[@devin_so_devious]

Kenan and Kel were so iconic. They were THE comedy duo for us younger kids/teens in the late 90's. I think we were all crushed when they stopped being friends but I'm so happy they've reconciled

[@WayOfThePharaoh]

keenan and Kel have that friendship where you are besties as kids and slowly grow apart as adults to find yourselves talking again and back to being besties again I’ve had that moment so many times with people I use to mess with in school

[@AmoMe2009]

Yup it happens. I don’t remember any of the names of the people I used to party with back in college. Just the faces(barely) and the experiences. Dont keep in touch with anyone from high school either. It happens. Especially in our 30s and 40s.

[@WayOfThePharaoh]

@@AmoMe2009 yeah for real, I’m 29 and there are only two guys from high school I still keep in touch with mostly online when we message each other or I show my face at birthday parties etc etc it’s not like how it use to be hanging out everyday or talking every day

[@blakebrown84]

Kenan & Kel were hilarious…they both born in 1978. As far as I know, true friendship never dies. Things happen when you’re best friends as kids and grew apart when becoming adults. It happens to the best of them. I’m glad they are cool again.

[@prof3ssor178]

These 2 are legends period! 💐

[@alri97]

Kel would've been good for madtv

[@hiphopjewels]

I agree, he's not a good fit for SNL anyway. I preferred MadTV over SNL.

[@PoyTroy]

Facts

[@convictionnotice1]

So glad they were able to reconcile, even if they never did another show together. I know we're sick of reboots to a large degree, but I'd be all for the continuation of the Keenan and Kel show. Keeping the Coolio theme is a must.

[@Makoto03]

I loved Kenan and Kel show as a kid. That theme song was iconic. Their good burger reunion skit on Jimmy Fallon brought me to tears. It was so great seeing them back. I still need to watch Good Burger 2. Enjoyed the first movie as a 90s kid.

[@awesomestar7597]

Come on! U always come with new videos. This is why I’m obsessed with your channel. Can you do Blossom, the Parkers or parent hood

[@Profess84]

Great video. I remember when my mom took my siblings and I to see Good Burger, even enjoyed Good Burger 2 from a nostalgia perspective. I would love to see a Kenan & Kel show as parents, we got Girl Meets World, and Raven's Home.

[@BrandNubian84]

That would be awesome but I don't think Nickelodeon reboots series. Since they just did Zoey 102, it seems like they might go the movie route with any other reboot... oops I forgot about iCarly so maybe just the really "old" series in movie format. IDK😊

[@biancadixon88]

I was born in 1988. I grew up watching Nickelodeon. I used to watch kenan and Kel when it came on nick on Saturday nights. I used to watch Nickelodeon and BET every day. Can you do a video on all that, the Amanda show, etc

[@ChassityNOubre_88]

This was one of my favorite shows next to All That. Theme song for both shows were my jams. R.I.P. Left Eye and Collio🕊️🕊️

It's great to kel and Kenan both evolve and grow.. and keep their bonds with one another.. hopeful of a Kenan and kel reunion.. in the works lol.. but to the announcer.. you give the constancy and knowledge when it musicians or sitcoms.. let's keep coming and kudos to you.

[@SaepeNeglecta]

They did a Kenan and Kel spoof with Keke Palmer on SNL when she hosted. It was hilarious!

[@missladyanonymity]

Its easy for kenan to talk and take the high road, when he's the more successful of the two. I remember kenan from a film called Heavyweights. It was about a children's slimming camp or something.

[@simplyjuannie5128]

Yeah. And him and a lot of his cast mates from Heavyweights are from the Mighty Ducks movies

[@larrymarshall8900]

That's a classic film now Kel done projects by hisself without Kenan. Let me name a few of them The Parker's, One On One Like Mike 2,Mystery Men , and the Nickelodeon show called Game Shakers fun fact he rapped the theme song to that show.

[@Onoitsbroko]

I'm really hoping Kenan and Kel worj together more in the future. I loved Good Burger 2. It was just as corny and outlandish as the original abd so kany call backs. It made my child heart smile. 😂.

By chance, will there be a city guys episode? Thank you

We didnt have cabel at my house, we had the basic what 5 channels, so whenever we went to my cousins house it was always Nickolodeon , we was always watching Kenan and Kel it was our highlight... love these guys

That sounds like great memories. I got happy hearing about this!

[@ghosttown590]

These two being friends is what we all need. I will never be able to thank them enough for the amazing snick nights as a kid. 🙏🏼❤️

[@princemastaking]

Juicy Pop you know I love your channel. Wow this was part of my childhood. Kenan and Kel was so funny especially their catchphrases. "WHYYYYYY" "Who loves orange soda? Kel loves orange soda" now Keenan was funny but he wasn't as funny as Kel. In fact Kel carried the show IMO. Now Kenan and Kel could have been a dual act, but I understand why Saturday Night Live wanted Kenan instead of Kel. Kenan wanted to do his own thing, and I'm glad to see Kel doing a lot better. Kenan and Kel go together like peanut butter and jelly. You can't have one without the other. R.I.P. Coolio that theme song is slammin' 🕊💐🙏

[@DarkManX16]

4:34 I think Kel should've went to MadTv if that was too crazy for SNL. He would've been a standout on that show

[@78Sista]

Kel was my teen crush. We're the same age. 🙂💖😉

[@Metal_Groove45]

In a world of Drake & Josh, be more like Kenan & Kel!

[@Bowmacho]

To be honest I'm not trying to be negative here but I feel that it's all Kenan's fault because when Kel and him were together it always seemed like Kel Mitchell had a little bit more star power and you can see it in the way that they would act with each other. Given the circumstances I understand why Kenan wanted to be his own man and didn't want to keep being a dynamic Duo because it tied their careers together and that is what we loved to see. If you guys watch the backstory on Kel after Kenan decide to break the group apart He went into a deep depression and had to find God just to come back. I feel that good burger 2 was a little too late and They should have put it out before Kenans jealousy took over.🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

[@jonahkshackleford1129]

I was looking for this comment. I personally felt like Kenan was jealous of Kel (understandably of course), so when he got the chance to break free, he probably felt like he didn’t need Kel. But Kenan really has come into his own as a comic. I’m glad they’re back together.

[@BelldandyAsuna]

Growing up in the 90s i loved watching them. Keenan always had a scheme and dragged Kel along for the ride.

[@klewis564]

Kennen was probably told that he needs to stop rocking with Kel.. so now he probably listened to whoever told him that

[@jaimesmith2266]

I lowkey believe kenan was jealous of kel because its obvious he was always funnier than kenan he probably felt some type of way because of all the love kel was getting.

[@123theprodigy5]

Man, this is similar to Drake Bell and Josh Peck, even though the dynamic duo interacted with each other on Nickelodeon, as life went on, they fell out with each other. But I understand it though, sometimes you just wanna move on. Friends come and go.

[@dcw3483]

Keenan seems like a guy who would do anything to get famous. Kel seemed more genuine and grounded
