Traffic cops had the perfect response when they pulled over someone called Aaron

A police officer seemed to finally get his chance to reference a five-year-old joke when he pulled over someone called Aaron for speeding.

A traffic cop issued the ticket after the motorist was clocked driving at 45mph in a 30mph zone.

But it was the fact that his name was Aaron which pulled in the laughs on Twitter.

Dixon Police, in Illinois, US, tweeted a pic of the resulting ticket with a caption “you done messed up.”

To anyone in the know, it was obvious that the widely liked and shared tweet was referencing a Key and Peele sketch from 2012.

Those who got the reference were applauding the joke and adding their own references to the skit by way of a reply.

For anyone not in the know, substitute teacher Mr Garvey crops up in a few more Key and Peele sketches and they are well worth checking out.
