A pelvic thrusting celebratory dance by Broncos' linebacker Von Miller caught the attention of comedians Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key on October 16.
The dance, which resulted in a fine for Miller, was nearly identical to a Key and Peele sketch from 2013.
The NFL fined Miller $11,567 following his pelvic-thrusting sack celebration back in week 3. The dance bears a striking resemblance to a Key and Peele sketch entitled "McCringleberry's Excessive Celebration." While while it’s unclear whether the sketch actually inspired the dance, it’s close enough that the comedians decided to donate the amount of the fine to Miller's charity Von's Vision.
In the sketch, Key plays a football star named Hingle McCringleberry (perfect) who is continuously penalized by a referee (Peele) for pelvic thrusting.
Below, you can watch Miller's touching tributes to McCringleberry's celebration.
On October 16, Jordan Peele tweeted the news that he and Key donated the amount of Miller's fine to his charity, which provides low-income Denver children with corrective eyewear.
Keegan and I gave Von Miller's awesome charity #Vonsvision the amount of his recent fine. You should too. Get kids glasses! #threepumprule— Jordan Peele (@JordanPeele) October 16, 2015
Miller thanked Key and Peele for their donation, saying it would provide over 450 pairs of glasses for children in need.

Who knew a pelvic pumping character named Hingle McCringleberry could lead to something so inspiring?
