“MegaCorp wants to replace everybody with robots. We gotta do something! Paramount+ has revealed the full official trailer for the comedy sequel Good Burger 2, streaming this November. Huh – I thought this was already out and forgotten about already…? I guess not. Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are back again as Dexter Reed and Ed, following up the events of the first film, now 26 years later. It’s a sequel to the film Good Burger (from 1997), which was itself based on a comedy sketch from on the Nickelodeon series All That. “Calling all dudes—buckle up, because the new adventures of Ed and Dex start now! Your favorite fast food duo is back and serving up nostalgic laughs and new antics in Good Burger 2.” The film’s cast also includes Josh Server, Lori Beth Denberg, Alex R. Hibbert, Kamaia Fairburn, plus Jillian Bell as an evil CEO, Lil Rel Howery as the CEO’s lawyer, and Carmen Electra. The original director isn’t back, though two of the writers are, if that’s any consolation. This still looks really bad, an entirely unnecessary sequel with a bad plot brought back just so they can try and get more subscribers for Paramount+. Have fun.
Here’s the main official trailer (+ poster) for Phil Traill’s Good Burger 2, from Paramount+’s YouTube:
