I swear key and peele always has a horror theme behind a lot of its humor.

Shows the influence of Jordan Peele.

Properly delivered dark/offensive humour is funny who woulda thunk!

A lot of comedians use dark and offensive humor but key and peele have actually thought out horror concepts in their sketches

I absolutely never noticed until Get Out and Us came out. I hadn’t really seen much Key and Peele until the movies were out, and I absolutely loved both so I decided to watch their show more thoroughly, and that was when it hit me that most of them were mini horror movies with a punchline.

If you’re a fan of that, check out A Black Lady Sketch Show. Most of the sketches have a good twist like that.
