“Key & Peele,” the late, great sketch show starring comics Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, was to me one of the funniest series ever. It would be impossible to select any one of their sketches as “the best,” but their East/West College Bowl bits, in which they made fun of football team introductions, are brain-scorchingly clever for a lot of reasons.

They were parodying network NFL broadcasts with their quick-cut pre-game images of uniformed offensive and defensive starters individually staring into the camera, introducing themselves, and revealing their alma maters.

It was a decidedly edgy and delicate concept because the humor was very ethnic and depended on certain creative and distinctive names typically found in African-American culture. White comics most assuredly couldn’t have gotten away with it; Keegan and Peele are both biracial. In interviews, Key has said the name of former New York Jet D’Brickashaw Ferguson was the original inspiration for the sketches.

There are many more levels to the concept. In one version, K&P used the name “Benedict Cumberbatch,” at the time a relatively unknown actor and arguably the whitest guy in the solar system. Similarly, the coup de grace punch line on the first-ever “East/West” episode was the last player introduced — a fictitious Caucasian from Brigham Young named “Dan Smith.” The concept further evolved on a special Super Bowl “East/West” that featured real NFL stars like Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Prince Amukamara and Aaron Rodgers — the latter introduced as A.A. Ron Rodgers, riffing on another K&P skit wherein a black substitute teacher tries to pronounce Anglo kids’ names.

One recent Saturday, while flipping among the dozen or so college football games on TV, I ran across the opening moments of a few regional contests featuring (largely white) Ivy League teams. The small TV budgets didn’t allow for the on-camera player intros, but graphics identified the warriors — and it was an unintentionally hilarious reversal of the Key and Peele construct. I couldn’t stop laughing because, while the teams are diverse, the names of the white players were so ... PALE — far beyond “Gregory” or “Ned.” Indeed, prep and Ivy white kids seem distinctive in their own fashion. As such, here’s my (real) Ivy League All-White-Kid-Football Player Name List.

1. Graydon Peterson and Ryder Stone, Dartmouth

2. Bronson Kroll and Candler Rich, Yale

3. J. Edward Keating and Chase Wickenheiser, Cornell

4. Keegan O’Hearn and Emerson Logie, Brown

5. Turner DeMuth and Ian VanDenBerg, Columbia

6. Cade Knox and Tanner Lee, Harvard

7. Conner Grogan and Ryan Quigley, Princeton

8. Choyce Bostian III and Reilly Hupfeldt*, Penn

*I can’t help it: Reilly actually plays on the Penn lacrosse team, but his name’s just too excellent to ignore
