Movie Preview: “Good Burger 2” reunites Kenan and Kel

I think it’s safe to lay credit…or blame for this kid-friendly comedy at the feet of Keke Palmer.

She hosted “SNL” and if memory serves, she not only inspired the sketch below, she’s the one who pushed for a little reunion of the early Nickelodeon stars Kenan Thompson (longtime “Saturday Night Life” cast member) and Kel Mitchell.

It had been a series, turned into a movie. Decades ago. It became a self-mocking and edgy (ish) riff in the “SNL” tradition.

That was, what, a year or so ago?

Now there’s a sequel with Kenan and Kel and Jillian Bell and Lil Rel, lots of cameos and…no Keke? Dudes…

Kenan and Kel are being “Good Burger” replaced by robots, something White Castle and other fast food chains are doing right this very moment.

Paramount+ will stream “Good Burger 2” to anyone ready for a little PG nostalgia.
