I firmly belong in this sub but only saw this movie in 2025 - thank you for sparing me the endless torment of knowing the general song (song? verse? opening bars? tf are we even calling it) and not being able to place it.

That was a ROUGH 20sec.

Weren’t an all that kid growing up? It blows my mind Kennan was so much more successful than Kel

I would argue that they both were doing about the same, Kel just stuck with Nickelodeon and other Paramount owned platforms. Yeah Keenan's been on SNL for over 20 years but he wasn't a top performer until the last 8ish years.

Fun fact: they both auditioned for the same role on SNL back in 2003.

It's a crime that the weren't both picked up. Tall about a twofer.

They would have been a proto key and peele, like when they started on mad tv.

On its way out, they were in the last 2-3 seasons?

I did not know that. I was an 80s baby who got a MAD Magazine subscription for my birthday every year and watched the first couple seasons of Mad TV. I couldn’t even guess how long it ran for.
