2,000 examples of the hacky joke "[Title] 2: Electric Boogaloo"

this is one of the hackiest, easiest, most overdone jokes in the history of all time.

ILX alone has five thread titles dedicated to this awful joke
Wiggins 2: Electric Boogaloo
Thread Connections II: Electric Boogaloo
UK Watercooler 2: Electric Boogaloo
create a flame war backwards two: electric boogaloo
"Our Band Could Be Your Life II: Electric Boogaloo!"

So let's try to find the oldest example of someone doing this.

Also please post instances of this joke's constant reoccuring and recycling, creating the definitive repository of the hackiest "pop culture lol" joke of all time.

1. In the Clerks cartoon, Randal refers to the second part of Dante and Caitlin's relationship as "Dante and Caitlin 2: Electric Boogaloo."

2. Christian ska band Five Iron Frenzy called their 2001 album Five Iron Frenzy 2: Electric Boogaloo

3. Minus the Bear have a song called ""Get Me Naked 2: Electric Boogaloo."

4. In the MST3K episode with Manos: The Hands of Fate, Tom Servo refers to second part of Hired! as "Hired! 2: Electric Boogaloo".

5. In an episode of Mr. Show, a joke is made that a certain director was "the best thing to come out of Hollywood since sliced bread, or its sequel, Sliced Bread II: Electric Boogaloo."

6. The title of the second Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza CD is "Danza II: The Electric Boogaloo".

But this has to go back farther than the late 90s imo

Really, this should be polled against "The Quickening"

awful thread 2: the search for whiney's gold

I am almost certain you will not find examples of this from before 1984.

whiney 2: back in the habit

hahaha Abbott

A Mad TV sketch from 1998 had the joke: "I shall call you Cece 2: Electric Boogaloo" when a woman replaces her pet cat. Don't ask.me why that's been stuck n my head for 12 years.

thread of missing Electric Bugaloo

I'm hoping this will someday be replaced by "Tokyo Drift".

Here's the oldest example I can find (from 1993).

"Tokyo Drift" was the third film in the series.

Or you could just watch the movie:

electric boogaloo 2: a tale of 2 kitties

u mean a TAIL of 2 kitties

u mean, i MEOWNT that

Also, dudes who when you ask them if they're solid - meaning "are you okay?" "you got this?" etc. - come back with "Metal Gear Solid II: Sons of Liberty."

surely the "verb harder" joke is even more played out than this one?

also lol at whiney being a humor copyright lawyer

As these jokes go, I prefer "[X] 2: The [Blankening]." I can't remember which one, but a blog I used to read memorably referred to the first two American Pie movies as Pie Fucker and Pie Fucker 2: The Fuckening.

I'm hearing a LOT of "Based on the Novel 'Push' By Sapphire"s out there.

surely the "verb harder" joke is even more played out than this one?

wtf with everyone doing "That's So Raven" jokes all of a sudden. The show's been off the air for three fuccin years and we're just getting around to this now?

Holy shit I completely remember this too, didn't recall the context, but can totally visualize Nicole Sullivan's dead-eyed mugging and I thought it was stupid even when I was 14

lol at del's revive

enough with the "Tango & Cash" references, 2010, we get it

Whiney's 2,000 examples of a hacky joke 2: Electric Boogaloo

i dont see tango & cash refs everywhere... like how do u mean whinestein

Seth Meyers waved a Blockbuster VHS box and said "Well, Blockbuster, it seems our eight year tug-of-war over Tango & Cash has reached its conclusion" when reporting on their bankruptcy on SNL. I laughed, didn't resent the T&C ref.

It's a pretty funny movie that shouldn't be lost to the sands of time.

T&C.R.E.A.M.

"Congress Appropriates $3.17 to Rent 'Tango & Cash'"
--The Onion

"Blockbuster Video on Thursday filed for bankruptcy protection. Well, Blockbuster, seems our eight year tug-of-war over Tango and Cash has reached its conclusion."
--Seth Meyers, Weekend Update, Saturday Night Live

didn't seth meyer do some sort of joke about it on saturday night live?

one of my favorite SNL sketches ever

Yeah yeah, my post was an x-post but I didn't feel like notating it as such.

never forget

love Palance's "RATS IN A MAZE, TRAPPED IN A CAGE" and how the hooting convicts (and Palance) just sort of politely fade into the mist when the guards show up.

[watching TV footage of Tango in action]
Yves Perret: Oh, God. Ray Tango. How he loves to dance. He waltzes in and takes all my drugs, then tangos back out again.

I believe Yves Perret also notes that Cash is always on the money.

i dont think this "electric boogaloo" level of overdone.

i mean the thing about the B2EB phenomenon is that it's not about the movie at all, it's just about it has a funny name... most b2eb jokesters have probably never even seen it

i always mix-up Tango & Cash and Turner & Hooch

hacky

the weird thing about tango & cash...

it was directed by andrey konchalovsky, who made some of the most powerful and sophisticated soviet films of the 1960s and 1970s, including two of my absolute favorites the story of asya klyachina and the first teacher. these films are about as far away from tango & cash as you can get. i discovered this because, wondering about konchalovsky's american work, i finally rented (yes, rented!) t&c last year and watched it. aside from the general over-the-top aspect and the inherent pleasure in watching kurt russell, there was almost nothing to redeem it (even the konchalovsky cameo is horrifying).

konchalovsky made a new film in russia last year, with a rural setting: the postman's white nights. i've been told it's a return to form, and reminds people of his earliest (and best IMO) films.

btw he is actually andrei mikhalkov-konchalovsky, brother of nikita mikhalkov and something like soviet royalty. he shed the first part of his family name in part b/c he didn't want to be seen as riding the coattails of his father.

lost a bet to the Russian mob maybe

he'd done like five other hollywood movies, including Runaway Train before t&c so it's not like sly was like "bring me the director of The Story Of Asya Klyachina". probably.

runaway train is great

from wikipedia

The production was beset with problems from its very inception. Firstly, Patrick Swayze who was originally cast as Cash dropped out and went to star in Road House (1989), then principal photography began without a completed script. Sylvester Stallone, infamous for his bad ego, had the original director of photography Barry Sonnenfeld fired because Stallone felt he wasn't being lit to satisfaction. Donald E. Thorin, who shot Stallone's earlier movie that year, Lock Up (1989), was Sonnenfeld's replacement. Then after nearly three months of filming director Andrei Konchalovsky was fired by producer Jon Peters in a dispute over the movie's ending, and was replaced with Albert Magnoli who filmed all the chase and fight scenes in the ending. In his book of memoirs, Konchalovsky says that the reason he was fired was because he wanted to give the film a more serious tone than the producers wanted, and as such, his relationship with Peters became untenable. Konchalovsky however had nothing but praise for Sylvester Stallone, who he states was a constant voice of reason on the set. Production sources said that Konchalovsky had been given impossible scheduling demands and was then made the scapegoat when he fell behind.

i'm a little dubious on sly being "the constant voice of reason" though i guess when you have him stand next to jon peters it's possible

Stallone once complained about the way he was being lit to the DP on a Rambo film -- who was Jack Cardiff, yeah the guy who photographed The Red Shoes etc. He got read the riot act by Cardiff.

*bump*

This is the worst and hackiest example but to be fair all sequel title jokes of this ilk are hacky and bad it’s not like ___ 2: the ___ening doesn’t suck shit, or ___ 2: ___er, or ___ vs predator or the secret of the ooze or the legend of curly’s gold. What are you gonna do, people who can’t be funny sometimes need recourse to something that connotes “humour” and there’s prob value in that

(I don’t know why this was bumped, if trump or someone made this joke I retract my halfhearted defence)

https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2020/05/27/the-boogaloo-movement-is-not-what-you-think/

counterpoint: "the legend of curly's gold" and "the squeakquel" are both great

see alt-right thread as well wins, it has been co-opted by contemporary US neo-fascists as a meme and code-word

lmao they can keep it

We can blow their minds with the much superior 2whatever2bullshit, after 2003’s popular cars sequel

Controp: I love all of these hacky sequel-name jokes and the repetition and banality makes them funnier.

Ok but this is like rending garment cause you caught nazis saying I can haz cheeseburger

I think the comedy sequels meta has moved to where I now see 2 _____ 2 Furious more than Electric Boogaloo.
