In a Vince Gilligan-written and -directed PopCorners Super Bowl ad, Walter White played by Bryan Cranston and Jesse Pinkman by Aaron Paul reunite six years after the “Breaking Bad” finale.
In the commercial, Walt and Jesse are once again preparing a batch of air-popped munchies in the fabled “Breaking Bad” RV. Walt reaffirms to his partner, “No, we don’t eat our own supply,” as Jesse gushes about the PopCorners chips.
“Everyone’s going to want a taste,” Jesse says. “And I know just the guy to talk to.”
Then Jesse and Walt pay a visit to Tuco Salamanca, their early-season distributor (Raymond Cruz). After tasting the samples, Tuco threatens them into delivering seven flavors as opposed to six by exclaiming, “Tight! Tight! Tight!” in appreciation. Tuco cheerfully declares, “We’re going to eat a lot of snacks together,” as the commercial comes to a close.
Cranston already played Walter White again in a witty 2015 Esurance commercial.
Super Bowl LVII will feature the PopCorners commercial.
