If a thread has been done, I am not sure. I thought I could do one on this.
So what are your thoughts? After two and a half decades, we are getting a sequel. There had been discussions about this for years, but I didn't know that it was actually going to happen. I am glad that not only Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are back, but also Josh Server and Shar Jackson are back. I might check this out.

It better be as stupid as the original. Otherwise I'll be disappointed.

I always had an idea where they would reveal that Otis (Abe Vigoda) was secretly the billionaire owner of Good Burger Inc., and was only working as the restaurants fry cook because he was bored in his old age. He had nobody to leave his money and business empire to until he met Ed, the only person in the world who loved and appreciated Good Burger as much as he did.

He also came to visit him at Demented Hills!

I hope the book (Good Burger 2 Go) is canon.

I want to watch it but my last memory of the first movie is tainted by the last time I watched it.
Gonna have to see.

I just got done watching it. I will give some insight. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Okay, I watched the first one earlier to prepare myself a little before I watched this one. I saw how the characters were portrayed. Dexter is not much different to how he was when he was younger in his scheming. Ed is still the bumbling, literal-minded buffoon that he's always been, but it's even crazier to think he has kids.
I could see that there was a similarity between one elderly character in this to Otis. I think maybe that was what the writers were going for, but the gag was used in small doses.
As for anything else, I could see that there was a satire on franchising businesses. So I saw what was coming. However, I found out Jillian Bell's character is actually Kurt's sister. Interesting revelation right there. If only they got Jan Schweiterman to make an appearance despite not acting anymore. Although I think the set used for the Mega Good Burger scenes was similar to the Mondo Burger set from the first film.
Also, Kel didn't lose his touch with his portrayal of Ed. It felt the same as it did back in the days of "All That" and the first film. I do recall a "Good Burger" scene done for The Jimmy Fallon Show a long time ago, but I didn't see that.
One thing that got me was that there was a "We are the World" parody scene, and Shar Jackson was in it as herself. I thought it was a missed opportunity to have her return as Monique. In the novelization of the first film, it seems that she and Dexter probably got together and they could have rekindled something. But I liked how they brought in George Clinton for that scene, though.
Also, in the credits, there was a nice dedication to Coolio, Irish Grinstead (of the group 702), Abe Vigoda, and Ron Lester (Spatch).

Easy watch with some chuckles, but not nearly as memorable as the first one.
