FILM NOTES

Good Burger arrived in theaters in July 1997 through Paramount Pictures, adapted from the recurring Nickelodeon sketch that made Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson household names for a generation of young viewers. The film captured the peak of the Nick at Nite comedy brand and remains a genuine artifact of late-1990s youth culture, its fast-food setting and broad physical humor reflecting the era's appetite for sketch-to-screen transitions.

This cell, titled Ed at the Counter, presents three frames from inside the Good Burger restaurant, with the Coca-Cola machine and menu board visible behind the counter. Kel Mitchell appears as Ed in his recognizable striped uniform and paper hat alongside Abe Vigoda as Otis. Frames two and three are duplicates of the first, giving the collector three pulls from a single moment in the scene.
