The Great Burrito Extortion Case is the sixth studio album by American rock band Bowling for Soup.
According to the band on their official website "there are at least 12 verses' worth of total joy for every sort-of-sad chorus about an ex-girlfriend on this record."
In June and July, the band went on tour with Flashlight Brown.
This album's first single to be released was "High School Never Ends", which is available on iTunes. It was released on November 7, 2006 through Jive Records. It was originally set to be titled All My Rowdy Friends Are Still Intoxicated or We're Not Fat, We Just Have Small Heads. The album's title originated from the news ticker on the bottom of a TV screen that the group saw when in a hotel bar. The headline said "Burrito Extortion Case," which intrigued the band members.
In July and August 2007, the group went on tour with Mêlée, Quietdrive and Army of Freshmen.
The album got an Honorable Mention on Ultimate-Guitar's top ten albums of 2006, and debuted at No. 88 on the Billboard Top 200.
Many of the bonus tracks were released in 2008 on the Japanese 2008 Re-Issue of Bowling for Soup Goes to the Movies.
