Ep 6. The Job Interview

Key & Peele season 5 episode 6, titled "The Job Interview," follows the comedic duo as they navigate the daunting and often ridiculous world of job interviews. The episode begins with Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele sitting in a waiting room, anxiously awaiting their turn to interview for a corporate job. As they nervously discuss their qualifications and strategies for acing the interview, the camera cuts to a series of sketches that satirize various aspects of the interview process.

One sketch sees Key and Peele playing two salesmen competing for the same position. As they try to one-up each other with their knowledge of the company's products and services, the competition quickly turns absurd, with the two men resorting to throwing punches and using extreme tactics to impress their potential employer.

Another sketch follows a hapless job applicant named Lamorne Morris, who finds himself in an increasingly bizarre and surreal interview as his interviewer (played by Peele) becomes increasingly unhinged. Morris' attempts to remain professional and focused are continually thwarted by Peele's increasingly bizarre behavior, leading to a hilarious and unexpected conclusion.

Throughout the episode, Key and Peele bring their trademark wit and creativity to a range of common interview scenarios, from the dreaded group interview to the dreaded panel interview. They also poke fun at the often absurd expectations placed on job applicants, from the absurdly specific requirements listed in job postings to the unrealistic demands of hiring managers.

In addition to the sketches, the episode features a number of hilarious interstitials, including a spoof of a corporate training video and a series of fake commercials for ridiculous products that only job applicants can appreciate.

Overall, "The Job Interview" is a hilarious and insightful look at the often surreal world of job hunting, as seen through the eyes of two of the most talented comedians working today. Whether you're currently job searching or just looking for a good laugh, this episode is not to be missed.
