After years of 'When are you two gonna get married?!' questions for me and my girlfriend(we're straight), I can finally turn that same pressure to commit and spend money on a wedding back on my gay friends!
Equality has truly arrived!
I saw this video posted on Facebook, and simultaneously witnessed a pretty good example of this phenomenon in the wild.
omg the names of the children and animals got me
As funny as that is, there are millions of gay people going through this exact thing. "YAYYYYY!! We can get married! We're going to the courthouse tomorrow!!" SO: "Uh, we are?"
"Gonna get a 14 karrot diamond the size of 14 mother fucking carrots" I died
Extremely funny after listening to their episode of Marc Maron's WTF podcast where they stated Key's generally the over-the-top guy and Peele is much more mellow.
Looking at the folks in the background made me very uncomfortable.

I want to see a sequel, where the couple had to move to Texas for "family reasons" and couldn't get married and Key's character gets interviewed again and is forced to break up with his partner on air
