The Return of Keenan’s Better: Kel Mitchell Is Back

by Saucy Jack

Anyone who grew up watching Nickelodeon in the 90s knows that Keenan Thompson is a no talent hack.  Perhaps that’s a little harsh, but I was very disappointed the day that I saw Keenan added to the Saturday Night Live cast.  Sure he can do some good impressions, but for years he stood beside a far superior sketch comic who never received the recognition he deserved.  He was cooler.  He was wackier.  He was funnier.  He was better looking.

I’m talking of course about Kel Mitchell .  Kel’s career began on the children’s sketch comedy show All That .  It was here that he teamed up with Keenan Thompson to form one of the greatest duos in the history of children’s entertainment.  They went on to do a fantastic spin off show titled Keenan & Kel .  Also, they made a film titled Good Burger that has become a cult classic.  Keenan was always the regular, no nonsense guy while Kel was the crazy, off the wall guy.  Kel’s character loved orange soda.  His soft drink centered parody of Singing in the Rain was absolutely superb.  Tragically, the team ended up parting ways and Kel has been unable to break out ever since.

But things are about to change:

This is the trailer for the straight to DVD film See Dick Run .  The film was released last week and though I have not seen it, I give it my highest recommendation.  The premise is this: a womanizer is visited by a succubus who steals his penis. The womanizer must then search through all his ex-lovers to find and apologize to the one responsible.  And of course, he has to do it before midnight or else he will be dickless forever.

Honestly, this film looks ridiculous, but we have to buy copies for the sake of Kel.  It’s unfair that Keenan is able to gloat and look down on him from his SNL pedastal.  Kel made him.  All Kel needs is an opportunity and he will prove himself the better entertainer.  Or at least the skinnier entertainer.
