Beetlejuice Returns: A Ghoulishly Humorous Warner Bros. Promo

In a recent Warner Bros. teaser for the forthcoming Beetlejuice sequel, the titular character is seen indulging in a hot sauce named “the juice is loose.” This promo serves as a hilarious parody of the widely known talk show Hot Ones. The video showcases Beetlejuice, played by Michael Keaton, responding to questions in a casual, dismissive manner, leading to the actor’s departure from the set.

Beetlejuice’s Unconventional Interview

In the video, aptly titled “Not Ones,” Beetlejuice expresses his impatience, asking, “How long is this gonna take? I gotta get to the spa.” This is a comical take on the original series hosted by Sean Evans.

Beetlejuice’s Saucy Antics

As Keaton tries to engage the cheeky ghost with a series of questions in a serious tone, similar to Evans’ interviewing style, Beetlejuice, in his iconic pinstripe suit, casually pours hot sauce over his ribs. These sauces bear labels featuring the characters from the upcoming film, including Jenna Ortega and Winona Ryder. Observant viewers might notice the change from the Scoville scale to a more fitting “Skullville” meter.

Beetlejuice’s Inspirations

When asked about his inspirations, Beetlejuice responds, “Napoleon was a pal. [Justin] Bieber, of course, for obvious reasons,” while casually tossing wings around and smacking his lips. “Caligula was a wild man, gotta say that.”

Keaton’s Frustration and Beetlejuice’s Disregard

As the interview progresses, Keaton grows increasingly frustrated, posing a profound question to Beetlejuice: “You’ve been haunting this metaphysical astral plane for over 600 years. You ever allowed yourself to contemplate the infinite nature of time?”

Beetlejuice dismissively replies, “Nope!” He then makes a bizarre comment about his ribs being “eerily reminiscent of a guy I ate in Seattle.”

Keaton finally loses his patience when Beetlejuice belches fire and rudely asks, “Who the hell are you?” The Oscar-nominated actor decides to disengage from his unpleasant interviewee and leaves the set, while the devilish ghost remains unperturbed, continuing to guzzle his hot sauce.

The Beetlejuice Sequel

The sequel to Tim Burton’s 1988 classic Beetlejuice is set to hit theaters on September 6. In the follow-up, Lydia (Ryder), still tormented by Beetlejuice (Keaton), experiences turmoil when her rebellious teenage daughter Astrid (Ortega) discovers a gateway to the afterlife.

Conclusion

This Warner Bros. promo for the upcoming Beetlejuice sequel offers a humorous parody of the popular talk show Hot Ones, with Beetlejuice’s nonchalant and mischievous antics stealing the show. With the sequel set to release soon, fans can eagerly anticipate more of Beetlejuice’s ghoulish humor and chaotic adventures.
