Key & Peele’s ‘East/West Bowl 3′ Gets Crashed by Real NFL Stars With Absurd Names (Video)
Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele — a.k.a. Comedy Central’s Key & Peele — are currently the creme de la creme of the sketch comedy world. Fittingly, Peele’s first player name in the latest edition of their hilarious recurring “East/West Bowl” skit happens to be named “Creme De La Creme.” He hails from Vanderbilt University, if you were wondering.
The two comics dropped the third installment — the pro edition — of “East/West Bowl” on Wednesday, days ahead of Super Bowl XLIX. Per usual, the gag was full of ridiculous names and absurd facial hair.

This time, some real NFLers — chosen for actual names that are nigh-indistinguishable from the ones manufactured for this running gag — appeared in the video as well, including Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, D’Brickashaw Ferguson and Prince Amukamara, to name a few.
And of course there’s A.A. Ron Rodgers, out of Cal. With such a weird name and matching look, Rodgers looks like he’d be as effective pitching insurance as he would be tossing footballs.

The “Key & Peele Super Bowl Special” premieres on Friday, Jan. 30th, at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central.
