Pulling the Plug on Booglaoo
Bunsen has a terrific take on why we must all retire the "[INSERT MOVIE TITLE HERE] 2: Electric Booglaoo" joke used for so many years and for such great comedic effect as shorthand for a lame sequel. To illustrate, he includes the following list of Other Unfortunate Sequel Titles utilizing "Electric Boogaloo" as a Punchline:
As a replacement joke he suggests the "Die Hard" strategy of amplifying the title for the sequel ("Die Harder" or "Cold Mountain" becomes "Colder Mountain"), but I think a simple "On the Move" following the title in honor of the sequel to "Mannequin" might just do the trick.
