Two black men attending the world premiere of “Othello” compare notes after the first act. (Contains strong language.)

Key & Peele showcases the fearless wit of stars Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele as the duo takes on everything from "Gremlins 2" to systemic racism. With an array of sketches as wide-reaching as they are cringingly accurate, the pair has created a bevy of classic characters, including Wendell, the players of the East/West Bowl and President Obama's Anger Translator.

Although the fact is that at the time there were no Jews in England, thanks to Edward I being generally a terrible person and expelling them after borrowing all their money. The so called 'Edict of Expulsion' would only be revoked by Oliver Cromwell in 1655.

Can't get over how flawlessly they incorporate the period dialects into this skit!

@shockofthenew 4 года назад

Seriously! This sketch is so satisfying to watch 😌

@ZippyDan 4 года назад

I don't mean to ruin it for you, but the "period dialects" they include are completely wrong. Just as an example "I just speaketh about Shafte". The "eth" is basically the same as our modern-day "s" ending and would only be used for the third person, as in "he speaks/speaketh". The first person would be unchanged as compared to today: "I speak". Furthermore, the language Shakespeare used was often already old-fashioned for its time and only reserved for stage use, so it's unlikely that the audience members would speak in the same overly formal language as the actors. What Key & Peele are doing here is basically a parody of what most modern English-speaking people THINK Shakespeare's English sounded like, and in that context, I guess it's fine - they are comedians and this is comedy after all.

@VivaLaDnDLogs 4 года назад

@anthonygordon9483 3 года назад

Just to cut you all off. Men in tights was written by Mel Brooks who ripped of Elizabethan Music. Dave Chappelle had no say in the movie cause that was his first movie ever. Being in a Mel Brookes film for your first film is a helleth of a accomplishment. Even Dave admitted to that.

@atomicgoblin Месяц назад

That's actually a line in the play. Iago basically yells through the dark to the parents that their daughter is "making the beast with two backs" with othello, trying to get them to exact some racist revenge but when othello says he's marrying her to the Duke in court and the Duke is like "hey, he's a great general who is going to be a great husband, y'all need to not be racist" the parents embrace othello as their new son in law and Iago has to come up with a new plan to get rid of othello.

@@lenawagenfuehr53 Not really, firstly Shakespeare was a master of rhetoric and turning memorable phrases, and secondly unlike AAVE no one spoke Shakespearean English except for Shakespearean actors performing his plays. He wrote in verse, primarily iambic pentameter. You'd have to be the most articulate man in the world to speak like that regularly.

My first Shakespear ever was Romeo and Juliet with the original lines, but the actors dressing and acting (body language, etc) as modern hoodlums and rich people. The first half was amazing, Romeo roaming the streets with his gang getting into trouble, then second half that ive heard rehashed a thousand times was much more boring as I knew the story already.
