Get ready for Key and Peele to inject Super Bowl 50 with comedic commentary

By Adam Poltrack February 3, 2016

The Super Bowl has a long history of spawning creative and/or hilarious advertising campaigns, but according to A.V. Club, a planned Squarespace promo may be poised to top the list.

Comedy duo Key and Peele will reportedly record live commentary of the big game in the guise of Lee (Key) and Morris (Peele), a pair of off-the-wall aspiring sportscasters from Atlanta. The pair will also star in a 30-second, traditional spot for the website-building company (embedded above) dubbed Successes, but muting CBS’ team of Jim Nantz and Phil Simms and letting the comedians call the action is all we can seem to think about.

The one weird caveat here is that Key and Peele can’t actually say the words “Super Bowl” due to the NFL’s infamous trademark stinginess. Or rather, they can say those words, if Squarespace wants to pony up the cash to pay for the resulting fines.

While this game is no laughing matter for Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos fans, this seems like it could be a riot and it’s an interesting alternative for those who’ll be following the gridiron action less seriously.

You can check out a trailer for the stunt below, which shows Lee and Morris decked out in some pretty outlandish garb, stumbling over their words as they try to get in sync during a press conference for the faux sports show, which has been dubbed Real Talk. Though they can’t quite agree on their phrasing, the takeaway is that they’re going to be doing live sports commentary during the game.

Real Talk with Lee and Morris, Presented by Squarespace will kickoff at 6 p.m. EST on Super Bowl Sunday on www.squarespace.com/realtalk. Super Bowl 50 (NOT Superbowl L) is set to air on CBS at 6:30 p.m. EST on February 7, 2016 and will be immediately followed by a special episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

As for Key and Peele, you can catch the duo in the upcoming Keanu (April 29, 2016), which recently premiered its red band trailer .

Netflix is streaming the craziest action movie of 2024. Here’s why I loved it

A man floating in air kicks another man in the face in City Hunter.

This month seems to be the time to release action movies that color outside the lines. We've already had Dev Patel's Monkey Man, a messy, throw-everything-at-the-wall action movie that blends intricate fight sequences and on-the-nose social commentary in an entertaining package that will surely gain cult status in the near future. Just this weekend, Boy Kills World dished out loads of cartoon violence and over-the-top gore in a bid for John Wick-level fandom. Both movies bend or break the rules of reality to deliver quickly cut fight scenes that push the boundaries of the genre, all in an attempt to one-up the high standards set by the best movies in the Mission: Impossible and Fast and Furious franchises.

Yet the best of the April bunch is the one that has the lowest profile. City Hunter doesn't star anyone you'd recognize like It actor Bill Skarsgård in Boy Kills World and hasn't been backed by an extensive marketing campaign like Universal's Monkey Man. But the movie is a blast; it's like putting Pop Rocks in a can of Mountain Dew and chasing it down with a couple of Pixy Sticks. It's ludicrous, immature, and totally unrealistic. It's also my favorite action movie of 2024. Here's why you need to stream City Hunter pronto.
It's an adaptation of a massively popular franchise

10 best Netflix shows with more than 5 seasons, ranked

A woman puts a crown on a man in The Crown.

Netflix is home to many great shows. It's also the most prolific and well-known streaming service of them all, with a large catalog of original and acquired content. However, the King of Streamers is also famous for being quite trigger-happy. Indeed, Netflix is no stranger to canceling its shows, even if it spent millions producing them; if they don't yield immediate results, the streamer will pull the plug without blinking an eye.

Still, many original shows have beaten the cancellation curse and had a successful life, at least by streaming standards. These shows are Netflix's best efforts that actually got to enjoy a full life cycle, receiving more than five seasons. None might come close to the 100-episode mark, but these beloved series prove to hopeful showrunners everywhere that there is indeed life on Netflix after season 5.
