Key & Peele Have Nothing On The Madden Name Generator

Back in 2012, the Comedy Central show Key & Peele struck gold with a sketch comedy riffing on some of the zaniest names seen in the NFL and in college football. In an era where players have names like D'Brickashaw Ferguson and Ha Ha Clinton Dix, the comedy duo decided to create their own lineup of fake football names. The sketches went viral, with the three videos racking up nearly 70 million views on YouTube. If you haven't watched them yet, enjoy: 

I often think about these sketches when I'm perusing players to draft in EA Sports' Madden series, because its name generator sometimes feels like it's taking inspiration from Key & Peele. I'm not alone – when other Madden users find a hilarious name, they often share it on the Madden subreddit. Over the course of the past year, I've been collecting some of my favorites. A few are classics that appeared in Madden several years ago, but a lot of these were generated by Madden 17's naming algorithm. Check out our favorites:
