I just used, " and churlish!" yesterday in a conversation. One of my friends got it...lol.

I worked with a woman and her two sisters their names were Denise, Dashanda and Delisa but they were spelled DeNise, DaShanda and DeLisa. Their nick names were Nise, Shanda and Lisa. It was so funny.

Every person I know who is named Aaron has been called A-Aron several times in their lives.:) "And probably also had "You done messed up, A-Aron!" yelled at them , too. :)

And it's annoying

Key & Peele are so talented and funny. Their chemistry is great. The first was a classic and I also love the one with the football player names. Hopefully we can get more reactions like this too.

As a black American I can say you explained to you wife EXACTLY what the skit was about possibly more clearly than I could. 😂

You are the only one I've seen get the premise of the skit. Every other reaction video I've seen doesn't mention that the teacher I from the inner city, where there are more unique names. Black people tend to go with unique names that stand out, at least in my experience, and it's a pretty common trope for comedy in the US.

It’s also a play on the braindead 7 million movies about a white teacher going in to “save” the inner city and having to put up with disruptive classes but then finally being accepted. Bill Burr did a really great bit about it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pJ5-zqdrctu3lqQ.html

Black parents born after a certain time period (say last 30 years or so) are a lot more inclined to name their kids with "unique" spellings or names. This was probably more of attempts to "differentiate" their kids names from what they consider names that may have been associated with "plantation" names from a long bygone era.

They're just called inner city schools. He says it at the beginning. This implies that the kids he was teaching were mostly black who often do have that kind take on names and if you've ever been to an inner city school, the kids do tend to try to get one over on the substitutes when they can, so his reaction of being confrontational to them is accurate.

Why do the blacks in USA have such strange name spellings

@theoblongbox4909

@@Jayhow90 It's just a cultural practice. They just like to make names more unique.The same way they have names that may seem odd to some (even other Spanish speaking countries) in a place like the Dominican Republic. I have actually started to see the same things happen with certain White Americans as well. They will give the child a name like "Carleigh" or other unique spellings like that.

He's used to teaching in the inner city schools where the students had more colorful and unique names, and he's having trouble adjusting to normal pronunciation names.

One time I got pulled over for speeding. A second cop drove by. Since my last name is Shaughnessy. He was saying "O-Shagg-hnessey." The officer that had me pulled over started to laugh and I got out of the ticket ! Thank you comedy central!

Hey James and Millie! I love Keye and Peele. Jordan Peele, the guy at the end of both videos is now a big movie producer and writer. He wrote the new thriller movie called "NOPE!" that is getting rave reviews! He also wrote and directed the thriller movie "Get Out!"

@Sub if you ain't gay Good to know! I do not plan to see it myself

I was subbing for band class, They played "Don't fear the reaper".When done I said, "it needs more cowbell", NO ONE got it. I gave youtube homework. Next day, they played again and a boy with a cowbell started dancing around the room, It was soooo funny, and they did it so much better. Their normal teacher called me and said that was genius. I said I making a joke.

He's used to teaching in the ghetto where there are a lot of inner city kids named really strange names that are similar to regular names.

When I was in high school, one of my teachers showed us the first Substitute Teacher video. And then one time in my human geography class, we had an African American substitute teacher and when he was taking attendance. He said "where is A-a-ron?". Everyone in the class looked around and got kinda giddy because we had seen the Key & Peele video.

They have a Harry Potter School one that's hilarious.

You've got to watch more of these videos from Key and Peele- genius stuff really. Watch the one about slavery, I know it sounds controversial, but their take is hilarious!

As an associate teacher, I do occasionally mispronounce someone's name, but the kids are usually good at correcting me afterwards. I also occasionally reference this skit when doing attendance, especially for all the Blakes in class.

It's more about flipping the "Ethnic sounding name" thing on its head.

Yes. More key and peele. Also you should know that there is a part three to the substitute series on key and peele. It's a short one but funny as hell. PS stakeholding the heat!

It is funny but what makes it so funny for me is how much of it is the truth. It's that old joke we are separated by a common language.

So glad you're doing more Key & Peele. So many more hilarious videos to watch as well. Keep it going!

So classic. I would love to see what they do with my name.

I've been A-aron since this video, I done messed up!

I watch reaction videos to this every time I come across one. I would pay good money to be able to see this for the first time again. I don’t know if I’ve ever laughed that hard. The best is when Key reacts to his name the first time it’s read.

Key and Peele are absolutely amazing!!! I really hope you do more!!! (More often 😂)

African Americans sometimes try to avoid traditional European names. They might use the same spelling "Aaron" but change the pronunciation to the phonetic pronunciation. Or, more often, they will make up a non-traditional name like Shaquille, LeBron, or Kobe Bean Bryant

The gag at the end of the Substitute Teacher No. 2, when Peele states to Mr. Garvey that he must pick up his daughter, makes fun of the fact that African-American have kids as teenagers. Just some context.

Key and Peele are awesome. Do more.

You done messed up A-Aron. This is one of my favorites.

TY for including this bit.

"Is there supposed to be sound" may be the best youtube content I've seen in months. :)

You actually explained the premise of the video perfectly!! I watch peoples reaction to this and they don't get the inner city pronunciation aspect of it. Most think it's just a sub teacher who can't pronounce the names correctly, but it's more than that. It exactly what you said. Good for you in getting all aspects of this skit - hardly anyone does!!!!

you should check out Key & Peele's inner city wizard school video next it's so funny

ok - that made me laugh - bravo!

I have a good friend whose name is Aaron. We both watched this video quite a long time ago and ever since then, I purposely pronounce his name as A-aron, especially when we're with our friends. I've been doing it for years and now I can't stop. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone named Denise or Jacqueline.

Lmfao I had to listen for 2 mins before I realized hey wait...I can only hear on one side of my headphones too 😂⚰ my old ass needs a nap smh lol

I love these skits

Holy Cow!! The female Beesley, sorry I dont know your name, remind me of my son. When he loves something or is enjoying himself, he sits there with a straight and stoic face. You would think he is angry or bored. But then, he is like, “I LOVED IT!!!” That is exactly the way you do!!!

Key and Peele skit about the speech after Martin Luther King's speech is hilarious to watch. I recommend it.

I like the second half where they just gave up and go with the names he says.

These guys were on a comedy TV show called “Mad TV” here in USA. They had some really funny skits for sure! 😉

I Said B!tch is hilarious.

Looking back this is the first video I ever watched on this channel

You guys absolutely have to react go "If Hogwarts were an Inner City school". You'll die laughing for 3 straight minutes.

The substitute teacher skits are the best 💯😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The idea also is to point out that wh teachers go to inner-city schools and can't/won't pronounce the student names the way they do at the homes there...non resident subs don't understand what is normal and react with prejudice...K and P flipped the script here

They're funny 😁!

Omg, You felt you had to explain the premise to her😂😂😂😂

Good explanation, James.

A good one to watch is key & peele's football name videos, there's a few of them and in one of them they actually have a few NFL players in it

In school I knew a girl named Monica. In 8th grade she wanted a more exotic spelling so she went with Moniqua.

this skit is the most relatable for me. Because some teacher either pronounced my name correctly, or spelt my name correctly. My name is somewhat unusual, for an American, anyhow.

KMK is so funny at pretending to be really mad.

He does a skit with James Franklin (head coach of Penn State football) that is worth a watch.

Yes love stargate and I have one in my room!

Yes!! Finally someone that gets why he mispronounced their names

The first one is a classic

Key and Peele - Scat Duel

So FUNNY!!!

Has nothing to do with him being from the inner city he just pronounces their names wrong. The inner city just means that he's been in tough neighborhood schools. and you cant get over on him, even though he's a substitute teacher.

This is hilarious 😂. If you haven't already please react to Bill Engvall Medical Marijuana pts 1 and 2 and Ron White Dr Phil Story and I Got Thrown Out Of A Bar!🤣🤣🤣

You have to do the football names. There’s two of them also

I was calling EVERYONE A’Aron after this skit!

This is the first video I’ve seen from you guys, and I really like it. Absolutely subscribed. How do we request reactions?

I love comedy sketch shows, but I also remember a lot of British shows like Harry & Paul, The Fast Show, TittyBangBang, and Little Britain. A lot of Americans have never seen these. Maybe you can review a few.

There's also another layer to it that you can go into or not, but it's there. Part of the comedy here comes from black people's names being treated as "wrong", often by white teachers. So part of the comedy here is flipping that trope and treating stereotypically white names with that same lens.
