Not true! Not true at all! I wanted to address this earlier, but forgot. Yeah, we compare aspects of their show to Chappelle's show, but this isn't all about Chappelle.
You've got this all wrong, man. I want to clarify something for you: I wanted to like these guys very much, and I gave them a huge chance. But they just. weren't. funny.
Now you're gonna scrutinize my comment about Chappelle thinking I dislike them for not being him, and I want to stress that this isn't the case for me (and I think for many others). Everyone isn't judging them against Chappelle when they watch, which is what you seem to be assuming.
What's really happening is: after giving them a fair chance and being thoroughly unimpressed, many of us draw the obvious parallels between what K & P are doing and what Chappelle didn't want to end up doing.
I'm over the fact that Chappelle won't be doing his show anymore. I'm not even expecting anyone to follow in his footsteps. We all want a new great comedy act with fresh ideas, but Key & Peele aren't that. They got their chance, and they failed to deliver. There are other people being funny right now who aren't Chappelle, so that's not the reason why many of us aren't feeling Key & Peele.
