For example, Key slurs, “Are those astronaut pants? Because it looks like you went to the bathroom in them.” We have to admit that _some_ of the lines are actually pretty great though, like “If you were a vegetable, you’d be a _cute_cumber.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4004602/keegan-michael-key-seth-meyers-flirting-tips/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4004602/keegan-michael-key-seth-meyers-flirting-tips/"},"headline":"Keegan-Michael Key and Seth Meyers Have Some Questionable Flirting Advice For You","datePublished":"2015-08-20T14:38:16.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:23:38.856Z","description":"So many awful pick-up lines","url":"https://time.com/4004602/keegan-michael-key-seth-meyers-flirting-tips/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4004602/keegan-michael-key-seth-meyers-flirting-tips/","name":"Keegan-Michael Key and Seth Meyers Have Some Questionable Flirting Advice For You"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"5 Reasons TV's Top Shows Are So Addictive","description":"Here's a look at how our favorite TV shows—from \"Game of Thrones\" to \"Scandal\" and \"Breaking Bad\"—keep us coming back for more.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/2RqNgPrk/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-01-16T20:47:22.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/2RqNgPrk.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4004602/keegan-michael-key-seth-meyers-flirting-tips/","duration":"PT2M16S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4004602/keegan-michael-key-seth-meyers-flirting-tips/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
