Keegan-Michael Key Reprises Key & Peele's Iconic Mr. Garvey In Hilarious New Paramount+ Ad

The latest commercial for Paramount+ reunites “Key & Peele” fans with Mr. Garvey atop “Paramount Mountain” — where the volatile substitute teacher contends with various animated characters from the streaming service’s wide catalog of shows.

Throughout this commercial, Mr. Garvey attempts to call the roll and argues with a variety of children’s cartoon characters like Blue from “Blues Clues,” Dora from “Dora the Explorer” and Krumm (David Eccles) from “Aaahh!!! Real Monsters.” The commercial ends with a callback to the original skit, with Mr. Garvey calling out for “A.A. Ron.” Although in the original skit, this name simply referred to a teenager named Aaron (Zack Pearlman), this time it’s reigning Super Bowl Champion Aaron Donald who answers the call with a quick “Here, coach!”

On top of the fact that Mr. Garvey’s return is certainly a nostalgia trip to those who fondly remember the “Substitute Teacher” skit from its premiere back in 2012, the commercial is also a clever way to advertise that “Key & Peele” is currently available to stream on Paramount+ itself. In any case, there’s no doubt that bringing back Mr. Garvey is one of the most inventive and hilarious ways to promote Paramount+, and there’s no question that seeing him will put a smile on the face of “Key & Peele” fans everywhere.
