The curtain rises on an electrifying teaser for Good Burger 2, promising the heartwarming reunion of Dex and Ed, coupled with a whirlwind of recognizable yet unexpected escapades. Paramount+ is poised to deliver a sequel to the cherished 1997 cult classic comedy that starred the dynamic duo of Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell. Stemming from a sketch within the Nickelodeon series All That, the original film recounted the hilarious escapades of two fast-food employees striving to salvage their ailing restaurant from the clutches of the rival Mondo Burger. Flashing forward 26 years from those initial capers, the sequel finds the former colleagues converging once more within the walls of their beloved establishment, Good Burger.
A 30-Second Teaser Paves the Path to Reunion and Hijinks
Clocking in at a succinct 30 seconds, the teaser trailer tantalizes audiences with the reunion of the indomitable Ed and Dex, joined by the unmistakable Burgermobile, emblematic of the forthcoming original movie exclusive to Paramount+. Despite the passage of time, the charismatic pair wastes no moment in embracing their trademark shenanigans, rekindling the spirit of camaraderie that ignited their initial collaboration.
Homage to the Source Material: A Nostalgic Delight
The Good Burger 2 teaser gracefully interweaves nostalgic callbacks and references, a fitting homage to its predecessor. Notably, the illustrious Burgermobile takes center stage once again, a vibrant testament to Ed’s driving eccentricities that have refused to mellow over the years. Eclipsing his earlier role, Ed’s journey culminates in the stewardship of the eponymous fast-food haven, now enlivened by an ensemble of new team members, glimpsed in the teaser. In a playful twist on the original’s renowned catchphrase, the fresh recruits echo the time-honored greeting: “Welcome to Good Burger, where the Good Burger calls home – may we take your esteemed order?”
A sublime nod to the past, the teaser’s finale reintroduces the cherished anthem of the first movie, “We’re All Dudes,” resonantly performed by Mitchell alongside Less Than Jake. Enthusiasts may recall that Ed himself serenaded audiences with the tune at the commencement of Good Burger, while a recorded rendition graced the closing credits, amplifying the visual montage that celebrated the restaurant’s resurgence, fuelled by Ed’s enigmatic secret sauce. Conclusively, the teaser bows out on a humorous note, underscoring Ed’s signature propensity for misinterpretation and literal comprehension.
The Resurgence of Familiar Faces and Intriguing Newcomers
A star-studded ensemble forms the nucleus of Good Burger 2, ushering the return of Josh Server as the affable drive-thru aficionado Fizz, Lori Beth Denberg as the irreplaceable customer Connie, and Carmen Electra reprising her role as the captivating Roxanne. The cast fabric is further enriched by the inclusion of fresh talents, encompassing Lil Rel Howery from Get Out, the irrepressible Jillian Bell of Saturday Night Live acclaim, and the accomplished Alex R. Hibbert from Moonlight. With the return of cherished protagonists and a treasure trove of callbacks paying homage to its precursor, the sequel, poised to grace Paramount+ this autumn, aspires to be an experience as tantalizing as Ed’s secret sauce itself.
