Watch Key & Peele Frolic Around Negrotown, a 'Utopia for Black People'
Latest

The clip starts with Key’s character getting arrested-while-black before he’s saved by a salmon-suited Peele and transported to a far away land “where there ain’t no pain, ain’t no sorrow.” Basically, no white supremacy!
Brown people in Negrotown can walk the streets without being arrested, easily catch a cab and shop without being followed. But of course, the ending is all too real.
