All football names in Key & Peele’s “East/West College Bowl” sketch

The Key & Peele The classic “East/West Bowl” sketch is memorably hilarious for its outlandish football names and the incredible introductory graphics that introduce them to their viewers. Key & Peele is a sketch show that paired Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, with the duo proving perfect comedic partners. The series debuted in 2012 and ran for five seasons, with each episode being counted on to deliver at least one great sketch. Skits could range from silly movie or TV parodies to searing political commentary, and the show always gave the titular comics a chance to show off their comedic range.

Jordan Peele has emerged as one of the most exciting filmmakers of his generation, especially with his Oscar-winning horror film Come out. Meanwhile, Keegan-Michael Key has remained busy with roles in films such as The bubble and shows as Restart in recent years. But their work together regarding Key & Peele remains a high point in both their careers. Any fan of Key & Peele will have their favorite sketches from the show, and some classics include “Ray Parker Jr. Theme Songs,” “Continental Breakfast,” “Aerobics Meltdown,” and “Text Message Confusion.” But the “East/West Bowl” remains their crowning achievement during the show’s run.

The Key & Peele known as the “East/West Bowl,” the football name draft takes a setup familiar to most football fans, as the two opposing teams introduce their rosters before the game. But as the names of college football players are read out, they become progressively more outlandish and absurd. This was one of them first viral hits to Key & Peeleand it also gave Key and Peele another chance to show off a dizzying array of characters – and wigs – in a very short amount of time. Here is a list of all names mentioned in Key & Peele sketch:

The West team	Moment (Building drilling noise) Lewith
The West team	(The player formerly known as Mousecop)
The West team	Dan Smith

“East/West College Bowl” starts with a simple comedic premise and just keeps escalating from there, making it one of Key & Peele‘s best sketches. Names like Xmus Jaxon Flaxon-Waxon or Hingle McCringleberry are great comedic monikers, but when it comes to X-Wing @Aliciousness or (The Player Formerly Known As Mousecop), the sketch just becomes transcendent. Dan Smith’s cartoonist is just the icing on the cake and a perfect last laugh.

The Key & Peele The football names skit proved to be one of their most popular, as evidenced by the fact that they brought it back for a follow-up. Wisely, the sketch avoids tinkering with the tried-and-true formula of the original and simply serves as an excuse to deliver even more ridiculous names that look like Key & Peele‘s substitute teacher sketches.

Even with the simplicity of the sketch, it’s as fun as ever Key & Peele‘s pitch-perfect delivery as well as the straight faces of football commentators accept these increasingly unlikely names. While the original sketch eases viewers into the concept with some warm-up names, the sequel just dives in.

Team	Player’s name
East team	Coznesser Smiff
East team	Ellipse Corter
East team	Nyquillus Dillwad
East team	Bismo Funyuns
East team	Decatholac Mango

The West team	First name Last name
The West team	God
The West team	Squeeeeeeeeps
The West team	Benedict Cumberbatch
The West team	AA Ron Balakay

Subsequently, the sketch leans even more into the absurd with the inclusion of actor Benedict Cumberbatch’s name, without any changes being a particularly funny addition. Of course, it’s hard to ignore someone whose full name is simply “Fudge” (without a school name), while the cryptic first-last-name is made even funnier by the suggestion that he attended “College University.” It all makes for a fun follow-up that proves the concept hasn’t gotten old and is still a highlight for Key & Peele.

Peele's referee looks at Key's footballer's stride in Key & Peele

Key & Peele offers everything from social commentary to pop culture and film humor to sports sketches. The East/West sketch with the bizarre names is not the only time the comedy duo has put football on the line. There was even a third East/West sketch where Key and Peele were joined by real NFL stars who also made fun of their real names, including Prince Amukamara, Fozzy Whittaker, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and D’Brickashawn Ferguson. The best was Aaron Rodgers, who called himself “AA Ron Rodgers.”

In season 3, Key and Peele also brought back a player from the first East/West sketch in Hingle McCringleberry and gave him his own spotlight in “McCringleberry’s Excessive Celebration,” which sees him shaking his pelvis after big plays. After the referee signals a penalty, the skit just gets more ridiculous from there, with the referee kneeling down next to him and scrutinizing his step to determine if it’s even shaking for another mocking penalty. It’s a good look at the silly penalties and celebrations in football.

In season 4, the title of the fifth episode is “Quarterback Concussion”, and Key & Peele offers a concussed quarterback trying to motivate his team even though he’s confused and his brain isn’t working properly. He’s not even sure if they’re playing football and he thinks his helmet is an apple pie. When the coach comes out to tell him he needs medical attention, it’s an animated squirrel, and it becomes the show’s best football sketch as a social commentary on brain injuries in sports.
