Mavis and Clavis were the geriatric movie critics Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell played on Nickelodeon's sketch show All That throughout the nineties, a running parody of the TV critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. Tollin and Robbins, the company behind Kenan & Kel, put its logo at the end of those broadcasts, which is why this old end-of-show sign-off gag circulates under their name. The bit outlived the show: short meme uploads and soundboard rips turned the dozy farewell into a handy way to announce an ending anywhere.
About this sound
Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell as Mavis and Clavis sign off: the show is over. A nostalgic clip used for video endings, stream outros and reaction memes.
The clip captures the final seconds of the elderly movie-review duo Mavis and Clavis, played by Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell. One voice calls out in a creaky old-man tone telling the other to wake up because the show is over, and the other answers with a sluggish catchphrase reply. The delivery is deliberately wobbly and exhausted, like two grandpas dozing through the credits of their own program. Hearing those familiar crackly voices instantly signals that something has wrapped up, which is why the line lands as both a punchline and a perfect sign-off button.
