I was flipping channels the other day and Horrible Bosses 2 was on. Which got me thinking about how wack that movie is and how tough it is to make a really dope comedy sequel. So what are some of the film rooms picks for best comedy sequels?

Hard to judge. The only one I can think of is eurotrip and maybe Harold and Kumar 2. A direct sequal is hard to do.

Eurotrip is a sequel?
Without thinking about this any, I prefer 22 Jump Street over 21 but I’m sure there are a few more.

I don't think its a sequel either. I think its just an alternative to road trip
22 jump street is a good one. Off the top of my head, comedy sequels that are just as good or better than the originals:
Ace Ventura When Nature Calls
22 Jump St
Harold and Kumar Guantanamo Bay
Anchorman 2 (yup and I stand by it)
And if its considered a comedy, the best man holiday is easily on par with the best man

Yeah I’m with you on that and I know we’re in the minority but I fukking love Anchorman 2. The fight scene is downright awful but if you take that part out it’s just as good, if not better, than the 1st.
Breh the shyt is hilarious front to back
my only issue is its way too long. other than that its perfect
Comedy Sequels
Which is why I made this thread. Because I thought of Horrible Bosses 2...and then thought of Caddyshack 2, Dumb and Dumberer, Airplane 2, Fletch Lives, and the hangover 2 and 3
But there's also Waynes World 2, Christmas Vacation, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, Toy Story 2 (if you think of it as a comedy), clerks 2..the shyt is really difficult to make a successful comedy sequel. I think its harder to make a successful comedy sequel than it is any other genre in film.
Also adding Naked Gun 2 1/2...that shyt is incredible

Basically every answer in thread will be a reach because truthfully... there ain’t no good comedy sequels.
It’s impossible to take a joke that worked once and make it work again, that not how humor works. You have to make all new one. It’d be like Chris rock redoing one of his famous standup routines but wearing a different outfit and filming it in a new location. Still the same jokes tho.
