Sorry... Can't take this guy seriously


I see him in all these serious interviews with his beard putting on airs like a true auteur, and talking in hushed tones about the art of film.

But after seeing all those Key & Peele skits with crazy wigs and characters, my brain keeps thinking this is a joke and he is playing a character. I think he takes movie making seriously, but I am not convinced this new media persona is real. Actually I find it hilarious.

Maybe its like the first time watching Jim Carrey in a drama, and eventually I will accept it.

I would say all his comedic acting was much, much, MUCH further from reality than being a serious film maker. IE acting stupid doesn't mean you ARE stupid, but smart enough to pull off acting stupid.

Did you think he is really more like those silly comedy sketches?
