Good Burger is known from its Mitchell-led sketch in the ’90s Nickelodeon kids’ comedy seriesAll That, where his character Ed — a lovable and well-meaning yet admittedly dim-witted employee at the fast-food joint — was often seen unintentionally terrorizing Thompson’s various characters and others.
Thompson later starred in the film version ofGood Burgeralongside Mitchell, where he played high-school student Dexter Reed who reluctantly gets a summer jobat the restaurant.

Back in 2020, Mitchell told PEOPLE of a potential follow-up that those involved in the first movie “did meet up to talk about some ideas forGood Burger 2.”
“So we’re still trying to flesh it out, we’re trying to put it together,” he said at the time. “We want it to bejust as fun for everyoneas it was the first time around, and then also cater to a new generation as well as the old generation. It’s just been kind of that task, to make sure we do that well. But it’s still in the talks.”
Mitchell said they “never did” a third film, and told Cinemablend ofGood Burger 2: “The fans really want a sequel. … We love the fans, so you just gotta keep your ear to the street and see what happens.”
