Writing Warmup:
Key and Peele are two comedians who created characters named Andre and Meegan. They make a lot of funny videos on Comedy Central's YouTube channel. These videos are called, "Andre and Meegan's First Date," and "Meegan, Come Back."

1) Who are Meegan and Andre?
2) Why does Meegan act the way she does?
3) Why would people want to keep watching these characters on Comedy Central?
4) Why did Andre chase Meegan so far?
5) Why does Meegan keep leading Andre on?
6) Are there couples like Meegan and Andre in the real world?

  4. 1) Meegan and Andre are the characters of a skit.

    2) Meegan acts the way she did in the video because she is trying to act like a snobby girl on a first date, who gets whatever she wants.

    3) People may want to watch more of these characters on Comedy Central because they are extremely weird which makes them so funny. They are trying to make these videos realistic at a more extreme level.

  7. 1. They are two people that met at a club the night before and are on a date.

    2. because she is being the most "harsh" and "high maintenance" that she could be. At the same that Andre is saying how great she is and doesn't see how awful she really is.

    3. People would want to watch these videos because they are very exaggerated characters of what some people are like in real life. It is funny because sometimes couples can be ridiculous and they take it to another level.

  8. 1) Meegan is the girl and Andre is the boy, they both are characters of an act.
    2) Meegan wants to come off as the girl who no one can say no to, as in the snobby girl who gets what she wants no matter what.
    3) Many would find this behavior funny and entertaining. Especially the way they both act, they're good actors.

  14. 4) Because Meegan is really stubborn and won't give in, and Andre won't give up because he for some reason can't let go of Meegan.

    5) Andre is being led on in a ridiculous joking way, relating to how he can't ever say the right thing to get her to stop.

    6) Yes not to the point of walking through a dessert but stupid fights will go on and on to the point were no one knows what was being fought about to begin with. The video relates to life because no one wants to give in.

    1. Why can't Andre let go of Meegan?

    2. He could easily let go but its a joke showing how Meegan has control on the situation.

      Delete
  15. 4) Why did Andre chase Meegan so far?
    Andre chased Meegan so far because he knows that she is going to want her jacket, and she kept turning around which made Andre want to keep going.
    5) Why does Meegan keep leading Andre on?
    Meegan leads Andre on because she wants him to keep following her, but she wants to prove the point that he was talking to another girl at the bar.
    6) Are there couples like Meegan and Andre in the real world?
    There are some couples that do act like this because the girl thinks that they can get whatever they want from their boyfriend. Once someone starts giving their girlfriend whatever they want, they start to be very spoiled and know that they can get anything. Key and Peele use satire to criticize or exaggerate what some relationships are actually like.

    2. She showed him that she didn't give up on him, so he wanted to keep going. He also worry's about her, and knows she always needs her jacket.

  16. 4) Andre chased Meegan because he had an excuse not to give up, he also knew that she would need her jacket at some point.
    5) Meegan keeps leading Andre on because she doesn't want him to go back to the bar because he was talking to another girl and she felt jealous.
    6) There are definitely some couples that are exactly this way. Either it's the girlfriend or the boyfriend who is spoiled, and will throw attitude until they get what they want. Or they know exactly how to get something out of their significant other.
