A Zombie Extra’s First Day on Set - Key & Peele

An extra on a zombie show gets a huge opportunity his first day on the job. (Contains strong language.)

About Key & Peele:
Key & Peele showcases the fearless wit of stars Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele as the duo takes on everything from "Gremlins 2" to systemic racism. With an array of sketches as wide-reaching as they are cringingly accurate, the pair has created a bevy of classic characters, including Wendell, the players of the East/West Bowl and President Obama's Anger Translator.

Imagine being an extra in a sketch about extras

[captaincrispy]

This made me think about how scary it would be if Zombies just mumbled sentences that their past self used to say.

[Langkowski]

The director is actually right. It doesn't matter much what the zombies says since proper sound will be added later in post-production.

[fathermckoven]

The irony is they're not going to use the raw sounds recorded. They mute it and add their own sounds they create. That's why they don't care what sounds he makes

[Feare]

This is karma for stealing that ‘high on potenuse’ joke back in high school.

[aryan]

This skit shows how hardworking the background artists are

[Niopmahcheep]

Poor Key, he just happened to have a rare disease that made him unlikeable.

This is the most accurate and funny video about film industry and how the extras behave on set. Extras are the most ambitious in the whole team.

[andrejoss]

He didn't realise that they were shooting a parody of a zombie movie

[PinguinodelRio]

I wonder how the actual extras felt acting in this

[Hando]

I was a zombie extra on the first few episodes of The Walking Dead. It was fun. We even had to take a class on how they wanted us to portray the walkers as in movement.

"he's not doing a good job at it"
"You're doing a good job though, man "🤣🤣🤣

[siebenboy]

It’s because every.single.zombie.sound. you’ve ever heard on TV is added in during post-production lol

[BleepBlapBloop]

Nothing better than a key and peele sketch you haven’t seen before

[johnabbottphotography]

As someone who's been a "background performer" on at least a dozen different shows, I can't tell you how real this feels for me.
Especially the first time you're a "featured" performer, and you don't know if you're doing what they want you to. Because this is roughly the amount of feedback that you get.

[alejandrasanchez]

"Absolutely it supercedes it, but let's do one that JUST cedes it." Underrated line 🤣

[Ymanata]

Director: Get rid of him.
Steve: I have a condition that makes me unlikable.

[santiagocarreno]

This one is great; everyone think it is about them adding sound in posproduction therefore not caring about what the extra says, but, I think it is actually a commentary about hierarchy on TV shows sets; in particular, how extras are basically voiceless props in the eyes of the main cast, producers and director of the show.

[adamredfearn]

I feel like the director was overlooked saying “absolutely it supersedes it, but let’s do one that just… sedes it” lol

[teenydeskstudios]

there were probably people in the background that got offended because they were doing their actual first day as an extra, playin a zombie.
