(NSFW: Language, Gross)”You said anything.” Key & Peele embraces devours the Halloween spirit with this crazy skit about the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s worst nightmare – a dying kid with bizarre tastes. Damn, guys.

Fafa the groundhog and Gorilla of Glove and Boots dust off their big hair and the Mr. Big ballad To Be with You and put their own simultaneously whimsical and apathetic spin on the 1991 track. Pretzel bun I know you feel it too…
