In Living Color vs. Chappelle's Show vs Key and Peele
Three generations of black-centric sketch shows with many legendary quotes between them. (depending on who you ask). One was cut down in its prime, one is just starting to pick up steam, and another went a little longer than it should've.
Which is your favorite? |

To Dave Chappelle, Key & Peele is "Chappelle's Show-lite"
http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/...mon_video.html
Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele have acknowledged the influence "Chappelle's Show" had on their Comedy Central show, but how similar are the two shows? |

I voted ILC, it's the only one I watched regularly. Have you seen Friends of the People that runs on truTV? It's a sketch show that reminds me a good bit of ILC down to having brothers in the cast. They mix sketches with "filmed on the streets" segments.

I also voted for ILC. I never missed it. I can see how some of the skits "would" be offensive to some now, like Men on Films, The Homeboy Shopping Network, and I Love Laquita (an interracial spoof of I Love Lucy) but they still hold up and they're still funny after multiple viewings. Plus, how can you not love Jim Carrey's Vanilla Ice parody?

I went for Chappelle's Show...don't get me wrong, ILC is a good sketch show, especially since it has Jim Carrey in it. Nut Dave Chappelle took the sketch show to a new degree....
