Even the best in the comedy business can’t help cracking up on set once in a while.
Ahead of the Blu-ray and DVD release ofGood Burger 2, PEOPLE has an exclusive first look at a blooper reel featuring starsKenan ThompsonandKel Mitchell, as well asLeslie Jones, who plays the sister of Thompson’s character Dexter Reed.
“Hey Ed, can I get a good brother?” Jones, 56, asks Mitchell, 45, who jokingly replies, in character as Ed, “Sure! One Good Brother!”
After a few more giggly takes — in which Jones displays an uncharacteristically squeaky voice while delivering her lines — she attempts to order “gazpachio,” leading them all to crack up.
“Gimme a head of lettuce, ‘cause I’m just gonna really eat the lettuce,” she says after, causing costarKamaia Fairburn(who plays her character Charlotte’s daughter Mia) to let out a giant laugh, breaking the hilariously puzzled expression on her face.
“Money is more importantly than family,” Jones tells Thompson, 45, before realizing she transposed the segments of the line and turning away sheepishly.

TheGood Burgersequel, which premiered in November 2023, picks up more than 25 years after the events of the first film and sees best friends Dexter and Ed reunite to take on another threat to the Good Burger restaurant.
Instead of hiring new workers, the new Good Burger builds robots that look and talk like Dex and Ed, paving the way for them to go on a mission to save their beloved restaurant.
Stemming from anAll Thatsketch of the same name, the originalGood Burgerfilm became a cult classic after its release in 1997. And Mitchell and Thompson, who also starred in their ownAll Thatspinoff showKenan & Kel,have remained in touch in varying degrees over the years.

While theironscreen reunionas the burger-slinging duo was a long time coming, the pair had to rekindle their friendship after growing distant as adults.
“It was just kind of seeking an individual establishment because we were children when we met and then we grew into adults,” Thompson told PEOPLE last fall of what contributed to their strained friendship. “We had yet to kind of discover what our adult life was like without work being involved.”
“Not that it was forced, but you’re forced to go to work every day. You know what I’m saying?” continued the longtimeSaturday Night Livestar. “So we wanted a version where we were able to decide for ourselves what we were going to be doing and pursuing kind of thing.”
According to Thompson, “time” is what eventually allowed them to grow close again, but it had been “ridiculously too long.”
Good Burger 2will be available on Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday, March 26, from Paramount Home Entertainment and Nickelodeon Home Entertainment. It is now available on digital.
