Sharknado 2: The Second One premiered Wednesday night on Syfy and didn’t disappointment, bringing the absurd of its predecessor to a new level.

Sharknado 2: The Second One

Both Ian Ziering and Tara Reid reprised their parts in Syfy's sequel and were joined by a host of celebrities making cameos in the campy made-for-TV flick. Like in the original Sharknado, Finn (Ziering) and April (Reid) lead the fight against the unnatural natural disaster – this time in New York City. Despite the bigger budget and the established audience, director Anthony C. Ferrante made sure not to endeavor to lift the sequel above its B-movie status.

Though it wasn't thought possible, the Sharknado sequel upped the ante with ridiculous moments and one-liners. Below are The Second One's best moments and worst lines:
