Bad Bunny Smothers Travis Kelce in Honey in Happy Gilmore 2 Fantasy Sequence
My name is Riley Carter, and okay, but like why is Bad Bunny smearing honey on Travis Kelce in the new Netflix sequel?
Happy Gilmore 2 finally hit Netflix last Friday, reviving the cult favorite 1996 comedy with a slew of celebrity cameos that no one saw coming. The scene that has everyone talking stars music superstar Bad Bunny as Oscar, who slips into a surreal dream targeting Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. In a sequence that TMZ first highlighted, Oscar ties a shirtless Kelce to a pole, drenches him in sticky honey, and leaves him to be mauled by a CGI bear. This bizarre mashup of sports celebrity and slapstick horror is already trending on social media, with over 1 million views on tweets referencing the clip, according to TMZ Sports.
Julie Bowen, one of the film’s returning leads, recently told TMZ Sports that bringing in nonactors like Bad Bunny and Kelce was “one of the boldest calls” director Dennis Dugan made. Bowen praised both for leaning into the absurdity—Kelce apparently spent hours in hair and makeup to maintain that gleaming torso, while Bad Bunny improvised some of his lines during the dream state. Fans on X have dubbed the honey moment “sweet revenge” for anyone still reeling from the original’s golf‐centric plot.
Of course, Bad Bunny and Kelce’s participation wasn’t exactly under wraps. Netflix teased their appearances weeks ago, but nobody expected that sticky payoff. Meanwhile, the film booksend sequence finds Happy (Adam Sandler) and Chubbs (Carl Weathers) reuniting on the green, but most viewers hit play to see those A‐list drops. There’s even a cameo from Eminem as a swamp-dwelling caricature who meets an untimely fate courtesy of hungry alligators. TMZ shared a clip of that scene, which has already racked up thousands of reactions online.
Beyond the honey fiasco and rap cameos, Happy Gilmore 2 leans fully into nostalgia. The original’s offbeat humor and slapdash golf matches are back, but now there’s an obvious push to court viewers under 30 who barely remember the 90s classic. Rotten Tomatoes users have given it a mixed 67 percent rating so far, but the buzz around Bad Bunny’s sticky stunt could drive those numbers higher. After all, how many movies can claim they feature a bear attack on one of the NFL’s biggest stars?
Let’s unpack this without trying too hard: if you were waiting 29 years for more Happy Gilmore, you’re either here for Sandler’s return or you’ve already rewound that honey scene a dozen times. Either way, it’s officially the most talked‐about moment on Netflix this weekend. Anyway that is the lowdown. Do with it what you will.
