I’m totally hooked on Comedy Central’s new series Key & Peele. I was literally in tears I was laughing so hard during the first episode and every single one since has contained some brilliant gems. This was one of my all time favorite sketches. More after the jump…

Woke up to the sad news that Don Cornelius, the legendary host of Soul Train, died today. Soul Train was so important, not just for the black community, but for music in general. A young Michael Jackson was a regular on the show, so here are some of my favorite clips of him being interviewed by Don. Rest in love, peace and soul.

I completely forgot about this parody from Chris Rock until I stumbled upon it while cleaning out my iTunes library. This has so many quotable lines it’s hard to keep track. My faves are “The ODB couldn’t have possibly committed all those crimes! Coolio did some of that shit.” and “Why spend the next 20 years in jail because someone smudged your Puma?”

For those who don’t know, Clark and Michael was an internet series starring Clark Duke and Michael Cera and it’s my favorite thing to ever come from the internet. There were only 10 episodes, but those contained lines I still quote to this day, most of them coming from my comedy crush, Clark Duke.

Here are a few of my faves:
“If there’s one piece of lettuce in my hard shell taco, I’ll but it down, whole building.”
“Her ass was shaped bizarre. It was like two globes of two different planets colliding.”

And of course, there’s Clark’s pitch for his secret show, “D.A. Dad”:
“It’s about a single father of three that’s also a district attorney for the city. That’s the genius of it; the complexity. You got it on two levels – you got it on parallel rails running down: a theme on one side, and character arc on the other. We’re going to nail that 18-34 market. He thinks he’s teaching these kids but these kids are really teaching him.”

As most kids of the 80s will remember, Michael Jackson was animated as a California Raisin. Here, he gives direction on how to animate the characters in the commercial. If you do not think this is cute, you have no soul!

I love this man!

And here’s the commercial…
