Sa-Slammin’! Key and Peele Spoof Manchild NBA Announcers.

Just in time for the NBA finals, Key and Peele have released a sneak peak from the fifth season of their show, which premieres July 8. Playing basketball commentators Chick Sarica and Bob DiSanzio, they cheerfully introduce themselves as grown men who have “made careers watching adult men play a simple child’s game, all while being paid more than the president.”

Chick and Bob refer to players as “the convicted spousal abuser” and “the genetic freak,” all while smiling broadly. They also coin some classic sports-announcer exclamations, including “Sa-Slammin'!” and “Skirplackus!”
