A Nostalgic Blast from the Past

Before we dive into Good Burger 2, let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit the roots of this cult classic. The iconic ’90s sketch premiered on All That in 1994, revolving around the comical adventures at the Good Burger fast-food joint. It introduced the endearingly oblivious cashier, Ed, played by the talented Kel Mitchell. The sketch gained immense popularity, sparking the release of the feature film Good Burger on July 25, 1997, courtesy of Paramount Pictures.

The original film followed the misadventures of Dexter Reed, a high school student portrayed by Kenan Thompson, who finds himself working at Good Burger to pay for damages he caused. Dexter gets caught up in the restaurant’s eccentric and chaotic world alongside Ed. Things take a hilarious turn when Mondo Burger, a rival fast-food chain run by the conniving Kurt (Jan Schweiterman), threatens Good Burger’s existence. Amidst chaos and absurdity, Dexter and Ed must save their beloved joint from the clutches of Mondo Burger.

The Success Continues

Good Burger remained a popular film among children and teenagers in the late ’90s and has since garnered a cult following. The impact of this movie was so significant that it prompted Kel Mitchell to return to the role of Ed in the 2019 All That revival series. After twenty years, Ed had climbed the ranks and become the seasoned manager of Good Burger, offering fans a delightful surprise and a taste of nostalgia.

The wait is almost over. Good Burger 2 is set to premiere on Wednesday, November 22, exclusively on Paramount+ in the United States and Canada.
