Key and Peele: Can You Be Too Nice at the Office? | The New York Times

To illustrate the work of Adam Grant and his theories on the benefits of helping others, we asked the comedy duo Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele to demonstrate the art of workplace altruism.

Key and Peele aka Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key are one of the funniest comedy duos working in the business right now. Jordan Peele recently released the break-out hit Get Out. While Keegan-Michael Key is best known as Obama's Anger Translator and of course Substitute Teacher.

Underrated Quote- "Drink it at your leisure."

I offered my coworker a cup of joe, ended up being the President of the United States and hired my coworker as my angry translator, CONSEQUENCES!

If everyone in an entire company had this attitude, would it be the most successful thing ever or collapse overnight?

[mr.froschi]

I love how they both almost broke at the end so they turned around and started bashing the keyboard. You just have to love these guys.

[greencurtain]

This is just too precious. The only sketch were both of them almost lost it. :)

This is like Dwight and Andy returning favours over favours till one of them has to carry the other so that they do not have to walk.

[therealpyromaniac]

that all started from him buying him a coffee

[wwc]

This reminds me a lot of the office.. like when andy and Dwight would be sarcastically nice to each other

[xxBloodPsychosis]

Haha they almost cracked at the end.  These two make me so happy.

[dadgarage]

It's heartwarming watching two co-workers be so sincere.

[tobaliciousholland]

The hostility when Peele says "uh my friend" then glares at Keegan (1:54) ... love it

[thatguydexter]

They were both about to crack at the end.. hahah

[sidviciousentertainment]

"tomorrow i'll buy you a venti, twice as big as this cup, twice the generosity " lmfaoooo

[theolav]

«With enemies like these. Who needs friends?»

[KinqKpa]

You could tell right after Key said "Infintitia" they both were about to bust out laughing, especially Peele. That's why they both turned around so quick lol

[madeupgods]

The question should be "can you be too noice?"

[Slymind]

I will leave a comment and a like to this video, such is my generosity.
