Tragedy Strikes at an Aerobics Competition - Key & Peele

Lol they got the whole look right. The 4:3 aspect ratio, CRT Scan lines, the color glow. Great cinematography for like 45sec worth of footage on a 3 min sketch

[@fr9714]

That's how it really was tbh when we switched from SD to HD. Basically going from 480i to 720p was such a massive leap and then going to 1080i and 1080p was just insane. We had TVs that were LCD Rear Projection and Plasma to choose from. Plasma TVs were just incredible in pic quality but suffered from burn in. And some TVs did 720p while some did 1080i so you had to choose between the 2. Personally I saw no diff but people used to swear progressive (p) was better than interlaced (i) so 720p > 1080i despite lesser info because of how the screen refreshed (full or partial in high speed). Overall, we've come a long way since that time - circa 2002-2003 and while we have 4K and 8K TVs today, the leap from SD to HD was truly dramatic and from 1080p->4K->8K is just minor gains tbh. I have a 50" 1080i TV still from 2004 and it looks absolutely fantastic and people today are unable to tell my 4K TV from the 1080i TV side by side for movies and sports.

[@normalname8768]

@Cody Zeik I guess you didn't understand my reply. They tried the VHS filter and it didn't look good enough so they got an old camera. Congrats on being in film school, really helping your ego and attitude when it comes to these things....

[@Rhythmicons]

@Cody Zeik It's not unheard of to rent an 80s camera for that effect. The movie Beyond the Black Rainbow was shot like that. It was too authentic looking to be a filter.

[@wildmercuryfilms]

Roderick Beltran No, it isn’t suspension of disbelief. Rather, it’s a huge part of the joke. Obviously, no one could write that many cards, with that much information, in that little time, with ZERO mistakes. This is an obvious part of the joke. The audience (if they have half a brain) does NOT think, “Oh, this is just a skit. I have to leave my sense of logic at the door.” Rather, it’s instinctively funny that this dude could pull out AN INFINITE number of cards with PERFECT handwriting conveying extremely detailed information that he wrote out in LESS THAN A MINUTE. That’s the joke.

[@whatsthisidonteven]

3:05 Aristotle talks about two concepts, "anagnorisis", which means discovery or recognition, seeing things as they truly are for the first time, and "peripeteia", which means "turning point", when the discovery brings about radical changes and makes the hero veer off course for better or for worse. These two concepts, according to Aristotle, are marks of a superior tragedy.

Why don't people realize these aren't actually re-uploads? They are being taken off the Comedy Central channel and put onto the Key & Peele channel. Maybe this show is eventually going to rerun on a different network and that's why CC is taking them down? Though it's clearly being done gradually so each video can generate a lot of hits.

Thats why they get paid the big bucks lol Out of college, they were at Second City in Chicago at the same time. Then they coincidentally got MadTV jobs at the same time and became friends there. After MadTV, they had a couple writing jobs afterwards that didn't do too well so they went back to what they liked doing best. So they pitched to Comedy Central and they picked it up, and now its history. Easily the greatest sketch show ever imo. Even surpassing The Chappelle Show. I just think the writing is a lot more impressive here.
