This comedy sketch depicts acts of code-switching. When I saw this video, I could not help but think of our early class discussions about different English dialects. In the video, Keegan Key is depicted as speaking “proper” English while on the phone. When Jordan Peele’s character approaches him while also on the phone, Keegan Key’s character begins to speak in the same vernacular as Jordan Peele’s. Once the two are far enough apart, Jordan Peele’s character begins speaking how Keegan Key’s was earlier, though. This is interesting because it outlines (in a very exaggerated in order to be funny) the nature of code-switching and the small social cues that can set it off.
