It'due south no underground that marijuana makes everything amend: nutrient, sleep, and, particularly, kick back and watching a moving picture. There'due south really no rule  every bit to what yous should watch while toking upwardly (except maybe horror: I made the mistake of watching A Haunting in Connecticut after taking a hit from a bong and curled up in fear that ectoplasm would beginning spewing out of my orifices), only information technology should be relatively calorie-free and goofy or whimsically thought-provoking.

In that location's no experience, all the same, quite like getting stoned and watching something from your childhood. Through this piddling side project of mine, I've come up to a few conclusions almost late '90s / early aughts movies and goggle box: that every piece of content meant for children coming of age in the new millennium was inadvertently fabricated for adults, which is why this very first Decider Weed Sentinel is defended to Nicklodeon'due south Good Burger, starring SNL's Kenan Thompson and his former trusty sidekick, Kel Mitchell.

If you've never had the privilege (or if you oasis't seen information technology since its 1997 release), Adept Burger follows Dexter Reed (Thompson), who's forced to go a summer job later he accidentally wrecks Mr. Wheat's (Sinbad) custom sports automobile. After getting kicked out of grooming at the new fast food monolith Mondo Burger, Dexter heads across the street to local favorite, Good Burger, where dim-witted Ed (Mitchell) shows his new pal the fast food ropes. There's trouble in greasy paradise, however, when Mondo Burger threatens to close Good Burger because of their enormous patties and unlimited resources. Only the dinky joint has Ed on their side, whose homemade burger sauce concoction turns out to be the Good Burger'south saving grace — that is, if Mondo Burger doesn't become their hands on the recipe.

Afterward packing a bowl and surrounding myself with pickles and Chinese take-out, I turned onGood Burger and was immediately met with this:

Then this:

Needless to say, I clearly wasn't high enough, so I smoked some more.

Presently subsequently we're introduced to Ed, who lives and breathes Good Burger, we encounter Dexter, who's managed to piss off his teacher, Mr. Wheat, who'southward sporting a sequined shirt scribbled with phrases such as, "I'm black and I'm proud," and "Black is cute."

My stoned cocky thought, Well this is slightly problematic, eh? Followed past, I mean, I guess it'southward kind of corking. Followed past, I wonder where that outfit is correct at this very moment. Followed past, I wonder what Sinbad is doing at this very moment. I wonder if he's eating pickles similar me. I wonder if he even likes pickles.

Who doesn't like pickles? My boyfriend is on the fence near pickles. Maybe we should intermission upward. Nah, he just bought this Chinese food. And he's sitting through Practiced Burger with me.

Then we meet the Mondo Burger crew…

…Who was obviously inspired by Proto Zoa ofZenon: Girl of the 21st Century,arguably the greatest Disney Channel Original Movie.

Although Smart House and Brink equally rank as close seconds.

Then there'south a bunch of shenanigans following Mondo'southward quest for the hugger-mugger sauce mixed with the comic misadventures of Dexter and Ed, who are desperately trying to protect the recipe. I ended up getting a fiddling sleepy, but then, one of the greatestAll That cast members appeared: Lori Beth Denberg, famous for "Vital Information."

Denberg's random showing upward forced me to get real real for a 2nd and consider the plethora of discarded child actors of the globe. Lori Beth Denberg was actually funny, I hazily thought. She had the ability to be Melissa McCarthy earlier Hollywood started paying attention to Jenny McCarthy'due south cousin, Melissa McCarthy. She was pure deadpan and dabbled in the fine art of observational comedy before most teens are able to care virtually anyone only themselves, allow lone, the world around them. Where are y'all Lori Beth Denberg?! The merely recent memory I have of y'all, for some reason unbeknownst to us both, is your IMDB picture, which features yous belongings a costly alligator purse for no rhyme or reason.

My boyfriend then informed me that she was briefly in Dodgeball equally Martha Johnstone, the heavy-set cheerleader whom scrawny Justin Long has to lift over his head.

This jarred me out of my stoned daze because HOW THE HELL IS JUSTIN LONG FAMOUS AND LORI BETH ISN'T? Oh aye, because Hollywood is a toilet.

Then I came to the conclusion that I demand to heat upwards my eggroll…

By the mode, did you know that Shaq loves Skilful Burger? This scene completely escaped my retention until now.

Later on, Bloodline's Linda Cardellini makes a cursory advent as Heather, who befriends Ed at an asylum where him and Dexter are being contained for non giving upwards the cloak-and-dagger sauce recipe. This scene was particularly interesting to revisit nearly two decades later because forth with all the previous political incorrectness, it's a tad #problematic in relation to how mental health is referred to in this solar day in age.

The only time you here the word, "psychopath" is on Bravo, and let's face it: that channel isn't working to disprove stereotypes someday soon.

Released in 1997, Good Burger was rated PG and marketed toward tweens and teens of the time. I actually wasn't allowed to encounter it until a couple of years after it came out, even though Nickelodeon was my go-to aqueduct as a wee child. My parents thought it might be "a little besides raunchy" for a six-yr-old and that I should probably just expect "until I can understand all the jokes." Don't get me wrong, my parents would respond annihilation I threw their way as a kid, no matter how trying: "Mom, exercise yous remember humans could ever be invisible? What if they become naked?" "Dad, do you think Mickey (our late feline) cares that we tin can see him poop sometimes?" Or my mother's personal favorite after I watched the Lindsay Lohan version of The Parent Trap: "Mom, are you keeping a twin sister from me? No I will notcease talking in an English accent. No, not until you tell me why yous never sent me to military camp!"

Yet, even afterward I finally saw Good Burger circa 2000, the low-forehead sense of humor and innuendos went right over my head. It wasn't until the ripe age of 23 did I finally understand that my generation was offered a slew of movies and shows that weren't necessarily made for kids. It wasn't until recently did I put two and two together and notice that Dan Schneider (the mind behindAll That and The Amanda Showamidst others) teamed up with Head of the Class co-star Brian Robbins to create the movie-version saga of 1 of Kenan and Kel's famed sketches. By no ways is Skilful Burger a good film, merely its goofiness is worth revisiting (especially while stoned), because never once does information technology experience condescendingly dumbed down or "for kids."

Soon subsequently that, I dozed in and out of sleep and woke up just in time to watch Dexter and Ed save the 24-hour interval. Mondo Burger ended up getting busted by police for putting chemicals in their burgers to brand them more addictive. Hmm… sounds like someone at Nickelodeon had a os to option with Mickey D'south.

POST-Loftier THOUGHTS: To reiterate,Adept Burger is non a pillar of cinema in the slightest. Information technology is, all the same, worth re-watching as a fellow member of the Generation-Y customs if you want to become a grasp on why your sense of humor as an adult is and so warped. Or why Kenan Thompson is your favorite Saturday Nighttime Live cast fellow member. In my post-high conclusion, my only wish is that Kenan and Kel would briefly reunite — not to make apology or annihilation mushy like that — but so Coolio could sing that kick-ass theme song ane terminal fourth dimension.
