Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are back. After their success at high school, the police department... sends them to college. That’s it. The movie literally hangs a lantern on it in the first five minutes.

The end credits sequence is a fake montage of sequels we will (sadly) never get: 22 Jump Street: Medical School , 22 Jump Street: NASA , 22 Jump Street: The Musical , and 22 Jump Street: Culinary School (featuring a very angry chef).
22 Jump Street shouldn’t work. It’s a sequel to a reboot of a property nobody cared about. But by embracing its own absurdity, it becomes a rare beast: a comedy sequel that is just as good—arguably better —than the original. Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are back

So, when 22 Jump Street dropped in 2014, the expectations were sky-high. How do you follow a miracle? You don’t. Instead, you blow up the formula, laugh at it, and then set the ashes on fire. That’s it
It’s a 90-second riot that perfectly sums up the movie’s thesis: Sequels are ridiculous, so let’s have fun with it.
