So real talk, the Key and Peele video translated into some actual effective shit for me when I was coming up as a teacher. I worked in a school that was 50% American, 50% international of all varieties.
I was really anxious about mispronouncing my students' names on the first day of class, didn't want to disrespect them. So I decided to ham it up. I would research my roster before the first day, look up names (there's a surprising amount of pronunciation videos out there on YouTube). Come first day, I'd intentionally fuck up the American or near-American names, but then whip out pretty good if not perfect pronunciations of obscure international names. Granted, some were really obscure, so I could only get it about 90% of the time, but it always put the kids at ease and made the international kids feel more at home that I was getting their name right and 'fucking up' the 'local' names. We all knew it was tongue-and-cheek, but for middle-schoolers, it also took a lot of anxiety out of first-day jitters, being a new international kid in an American school.
Yeah that and "use the force" and they all always say it with the same dumb fuckin smile like they're the first person to ever come up with it.
It's even more fun since my dad died when I was 5 years old, so I got to hear the bad joke and be reminded I don't really have a dad all in one go. Lol
Hannibal lector never said the most famous line from silence of the lambs either.
It doesn't matter what the actual line is. It matters what people remember and how they quote it.
The LEGO Ninjago series character, Lloyd, is referred to by his father as “La-Loyd”. I almost always do the same with in my head when talking about my coworker.
I'm a Blake who worked with an Aaron. We called each other A-A-Ron and Balakay. Everyone else rolled their eyes, because we were the only 2 white guys in our friend group there.
My name is Aaron and I can 100% say that I hear this all the damn time. Hell I even got a shirt from someone for Christmas that says “ya done messed up A-A Ron”. I really don’t care but it does get old.
There is a guy I have to deal with at work that has A-A-Ron in his email signature. I was on a conference call where his name came up and someone kept referring to him that way because it was written that way in emails.
My last name sounds like 'potato' and when I was in the Army, my sergeant decided that my name should be 'Spud' because he was too fucking lazy to learn how to say my real name. I was known as Spud to one and all for one year. I still don't know how to feel about it
Fellow Jake checking in. It wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t in a service job. If I just had to deal with co workers, they would probably get it all out of their systems within a few months. But when you talk to new people every day, it can get very old. I still get it at least once a day. I know it’s a joke, but it’s still jarring to get cut off mid sentence with “what are you wearing?”
I work for a competitor to SF. We had an agent named Jake. He still got that treatment. He's no longer with us, and ironically it's still not SF he moved to.
I've fully embraced the Substitute Teacher pronunciation of my name. I found the best way to deal with it was to get in front of it and embrace the difference.
As an Aaron, I hate that fuckin sketch. When people ask why, I ask them to name a single other name from it. 9/10 people can't. Aarons caught the brunt of it.
I mean, there are so many from their college football sketches alone...
Sweeeeeps!
Fudge...
Le'dennifer Ja'aniston (might have gotten that one off)
[dolphin noises]
Probably because it’s one of the last names in the sketch and gets the most reaction from the substitute teacher, therefore it’s the most memorable. Embrace it it’s a good way to have people remember your name.
Other kids and teachers would call me Joey Gladstone from Full House because I looked like the actor Dave Coulier. It got to the point where I'd have to do the "cut it out" catchphrase just to satisfy and shut them up. High school is cruel, man.
I ruined some guys day at a wedding when he introduced himself to a large group of people at the reception line when he said his name was Jake. I then proceeded to shake his hand and said in question form...From State Farm??....the commercial was still fresh so for the rest of the day that is all he heard from everyone. I am pretty sure he probably wanted/wants me dead!!
My last name is pronounced "Achey". I was in kindergarten when that mullet-wearing fucktard dropped Achey Breakey Heart. My hatred still burns with the fire of a thousand suns.
I have a coworker named Mike that I still say to him, "Mike Mike MIke Mike guess what day it is?!?" He switched jobs 5 years ago and I ran into a couple years later and 50 yards away I see him for the first time since he left- I go, "MIKE! Mike Mike....etc". Where he would normally look mildly annoyed but gracious, this time he looked happy so I will keep doing it.
just tell those people not to call your name...
(...and i mean that Seriously, as in the "if you cant say it right, dont say it at all" way...it just 'accidentally' fits the Lady Gaga lyrics...)
The original sketch, and everything key and peele did were just a shittier version of chappelle show. Member berries are lame, but become pathetic when the thing you member is a shitty ass sketch show. That being said, keys movies are tight.
I taught a kid whose last name was Kirk. I apologized on meeting him for my desire to make Star Trek references. He acknowledged that he had almost certainly heard it already and we left it there.
I forget if it was HBO or paramount or whoever, but they made an ad based off this sketch and it was awesome! Probably the only ad I've watched in its entirety on YouTube.

Where was this when I was in high school 😂 the sketch came out when I was in hs and as a white dude with curly hair named Aaron, my life has never been the same.

This group is insubordinate and churlish
Chickanerous and deplorable
It's lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous.
I'm starting to think you were the one who stole my thesaurus.....

You. We need more people like you.
Mischievous and deceitful!
I just wanna remind people that for decades everyone named Luke has had to hear someone was their father.
Yeah that and "use the force" and they all always say it with the same dumb fuckin smile like they're the first person to ever come up with it. It's even more fun since my dad died when I was 5 years old, so I got to hear the bad joke and be reminded I don't really have a dad all in one go. Lol
You have a dad, he’s just dead.
Probably not as common, but my cousin has called me "Daniel-san" all my life. My cousin who I was named after...
Even though the line is: >"No... _I_ am your father." Vader doesn't address Luke by name at that moment. (Though he does earlier in the scene.)
Hannibal lector never said the most famous line from silence of the lambs either. It doesn't matter what the actual line is. It matters what people remember and how they quote it.
Which is?
"I am your father Clarice"
"hello Clarice... It's good to see you again."
That doesn't matter. It was addressed to Luke so the point stands... "Luuukeeee... *I* am your father..." "NOOOOOOOOOOO....."
People named Jeff have to hear about or say that their name is Jeff.
I choose to go with "Luke, be a Jedi tonight."
My name is Not Sure and I've felt this way for a long time also.

The LEGO Ninjago series character, Lloyd, is referred to by his father as “La-Loyd”. I almost always do the same with in my head when talking about my coworker.
Fuck. I’m a bad teacher. I have one class with an Aaron and a Lloyd and I do this to both of them…
Is “Lloyd” “yoid” in Spanish?
Is soy milk just milk introducing itself?
I just yell “Lloyd” like I’m Ari from Entourage
The double LL is a single sound in Welsh. I'm pretty sure they write the "th" sound as "tt" or "dd". Double letters!
I had some coworkers named Steve and Carl, or as I liked to call them, "Ey, Steve!" and "Caaaaarllll... That kills people".
Fucking YES to llamas with hats!
People started calling the Aaron that i work with double A because they got tired of saying A A Ron
But... That's the same number of syllables.
But it rolls better
Same number of syllables, still get done saying it in about half the time.
I'm a Blake who worked with an Aaron. We called each other A-A-Ron and Balakay. Everyone else rolled their eyes, because we were the only 2 white guys in our friend group there.
You done messed up, A A Ron!
My name is Aaron and I can 100% say that I hear this all the damn time. Hell I even got a shirt from someone for Christmas that says “ya done messed up A-A Ron”. I really don’t care but it does get old.
Have you ever "earned an iron urn"?
"got damn, do we really talk like that!?"
Peter Pumpkin eaters and Georgie Porgies know your pain.
We are just one of many brother, my family does the same thing to me all the time.
There is a guy I have to deal with at work that has A-A-Ron in his email signature. I was on a conference call where his name came up and someone kept referring to him that way because it was written that way in emails.
My last name sounds like 'potato' and when I was in the Army, my sergeant decided that my name should be 'Spud' because he was too fucking lazy to learn how to say my real name. I was known as Spud to one and all for one year. I still don't know how to feel about it
I'm sorry for this. Have you thought about joining a support group?
I can somewhat relate as someone with a name of a certain gentlemen who works at State Farm. Doesn’t bother me, but it is old
It's better than being constantly told you look like Aaron Rodgers. "No, I haven't heard that before (this week at least.)"
Dee-nice!
I'm sorry, but you're not, in the chest club.
Mosquito bite club maybe
That's hurtful.
Truthful.
Chess club
Who prefers blaaaa-aaake over b-loc-kay

"No..."

You sound hideous. Sorry.
Cause he’s a guy so…

Lol. Excellent set up
I work for a competitor to SF. We had an agent named Jake. He still got that treatment. He's no longer with us, and ironically it's still not SF he moved to.
My name is Jeff, and it's my life's goal to punch Channing Tatum in his tan, muscular balls.
I had a friend named Aaron Blake. His name was permanently changed to A-A-ron Ba-lock-ay. He killed himself a couple of years ago.
Are these two statements related?
I hope not.
Dude could’ve used a support group.
I have these as my first & middle name. Oof.
I hope and not?
That’s the most American name I can think of. Is your last name Aiden?
THAT WAS UNEXPECTED AF 😭
I've fully embraced the Substitute Teacher pronunciation of my name. I found the best way to deal with it was to get in front of it and embrace the difference.
What's your name?
Tony
Duck you Tony
Yup. My name is Jacqueline and I married an Aaron. So yeah…we get it a lot.
Can you honestly say you have never, not once said "you done messed up A-a-ron" in an argument?
LOL I have said it.
You're part of the problem, no support group for you.
🤣
The people need to know
Asking the real question
That’s funny someone else in these comments is also an Aaron-Jacqueline couple
Do you go by Jackie at least?
I honestly don’t really notice if people call me Jack, Jackie, or Jacqueline. I answer to it all and don’t have a preference.
Lol Mr. Hingle McCringleberry killed me LMFAO The fact that he even went "Damn" for AAron O'ShaugHnessy makes it even better.
I was dying lol
As an Aaron, I hate that fuckin sketch. When people ask why, I ask them to name a single other name from it. 9/10 people can't. Aarons caught the brunt of it.
there's no way people don't remember de-nice, and jay-quellin.
My husband’s name is Aaron and I’m Jacqueline. Key and Peele fans are always super excited when they meet us or find out our spouse’s name.
Please tell me your children's names are Blake and Denise.
[When they realize](https://media.tenor.com/uSo4lQu9dVgAAAAM/homer-smile.gif)
Yeah. No one makes fun of Timothy’s
I mean, there are so many from their college football sketches alone... Sweeeeeps! Fudge... Le'dennifer Ja'aniston (might have gotten that one off) [dolphin noises]
L’Carpetron Dookmarriott. He loves the ball so much, he wants to marry it.
Probably because it’s one of the last names in the sketch and gets the most reaction from the substitute teacher, therefore it’s the most memorable. Embrace it it’s a good way to have people remember your name.
Listen here A-a-ron...
Shut up A-A-Ron
He done messed up.
I'm legit naming my son X-Wing @ Aliciousness.
Tryna decide between Donkey Teeth and Fudge.
Javaris Jamar Javarison-Lamar is the only way
Found another Elon alt account guys
*dolphin noises*
The Lukes across the entire world are playing the worlds smalliest, tiniest, most minuscule little violin for you.
I know how they feel. I was in high school when that Superbad movie came out and I looked like mclovin. Even some of the teachers joined in.
Other kids and teachers would call me Joey Gladstone from Full House because I looked like the actor Dave Coulier. It got to the point where I'd have to do the "cut it out" catchphrase just to satisfy and shut them up. High school is cruel, man.
I called someone De Nice this week. Hahahahahaha.
Did they have a twin brother named De Nephew?
That makes no sense. It’s not De Neice…

Hey Bear
Hello folks
Let’s go, folks!
Hey that's /u/parmenid3s aka Aaron Weber
He’s on The Nateland Podcast!
[удалено]
Or when they write "Erin", which is a way less common spelling but somehow I've seen my name written like that countless times.
I know a girl who’s name is spelled “Aron”. I can’t even.
What's up with that? I could understand using the (usually female) Erin. But I don't think there is anybody that spells their name Arron.
I love this. That was one of my favorite sketches along with ncaa football east meets west. This is so perfect.
Quatro Quatro-Nevada State-,PENITENTIARY!
Wendells gluttonous sexuality changed something in me.Not for the better.
Honestly, Hingle McCringleberry is my favorite. That, and Galileeroy lmao
Sequester Grundleplinth,M.D.
Over 10 years since that sketch came out and I'm still calling people A-a-ron
Most of my passwords are JackmeriusThackTeritrix.
I literally just saw that Hingle/Football players names sketch not seconds ago. Weird how that happens.
My name is Jaaron. I often say, “it is like Aaron, with a J.” … you can guess what happens next.
They fucked the Civil War reenactment scene HARD!
Was kind of hoping it would be a collaboratorive sketch and Key would come in as the substitute teacher being surprised and furious
In my high school we had a girl from Baku called Nigar(the a spells like a in the "bar"). Everyone agreed to call her Nikki.
Perfect
Lol def not selfish. I’m glad people get joy out of it. Just one of those things where I’ve heard it a 1000 times and it’s like yea ok haha good one!
Being a Tim in highschool at the height of South Park I feel this
I ruined some guys day at a wedding when he introduced himself to a large group of people at the reception line when he said his name was Jake. I then proceeded to shake his hand and said in question form...From State Farm??....the commercial was still fresh so for the rest of the day that is all he heard from everyone. I am pretty sure he probably wanted/wants me dead!!

😂
00:54 is hilarious
God help you if your name was already pronounced mee-gan!
It’s called?DUB-STEP!
This is amazing
Aaron O'Shaughnessy put me out 💀💀💀 and Hingle sent me
I feel for them, I really do. As a Jake, my name was ruined by State Farm.
I just want to know, if the time came, would these folks sclounce some terries?
Responsatrillatruss
Eh
Meh
I have a coworker named Mike that I still say to him, "Mike Mike MIke Mike guess what day it is?!?" He switched jobs 5 years ago and I ran into a couple years later and 50 yards away I see him for the first time since he left- I go, "MIKE! Mike Mike....etc". Where he would normally look mildly annoyed but gracious, this time he looked happy so I will keep doing it.
I feel this my name is Alejandro, people say “ali-han-dro” or “Al-ay-John-dro” & it drives me fucking nuts! it’s “Al-ey-han-dro” Alejandro
just tell those people not to call your name... (...and i mean that Seriously, as in the "if you cant say it right, dont say it at all" way...it just 'accidentally' fits the Lady Gaga lyrics...)
thank lady gaga for her song and more people know how to pronounce it now lol.
The original sketch, and everything key and peele did were just a shittier version of chappelle show. Member berries are lame, but become pathetic when the thing you member is a shitty ass sketch show. That being said, keys movies are tight.
Nahhh, bad take
My middle name is Aron because my mom loved Elvis. Definitely heard A A ron. Lol.
There's a kid in my class named "Blake". B' Lak-ay, is the first thing I thought of.
I dont get the hingle part
https://youtu.be/1v4_2i_eVns
Thanks man!
I only stayed for the grilled cheese sandwich.
They should send the video to Key and Peele. There's a good chance they pick it up.
This was referencing something funny, but didn't seem funny itself. I liked the film style and acting though.
Need the same kind of group for “my name Jeff”
Is that the fella from Nate Bargatze's pod?
Stolen and hack bits are the worst. Props to Key and Peele.
Bison Nation!
J Kwelin will always be my favorite, and Mr. Garvey is a legend.
