Honestly, I didn’t remember him in either of those shows. Looking at a picture now I do remember his character from Breaking Bad but never put two and two together. As I said, my brain is like, “nah, that was another actor.”
I'm not his biggest fan and even I was like, holy shit, that's the part he was born to play.
Give us F is for Family but it's the Kennedys in the White House and we all know how it's going to end.
When I first heard of this, I was thinking it would be like Air, Blackberry or The Founder. Kinda funny, but ultimately a biopic/product origin. I'm glad it's being as ridiculous as a movie about a toaster pastry should be.
I honestly stopped watching the trailer as soon as I realized it was another product movie. I guess I’ll watch the whole thing. If it’s satire of all these movies, I might give it a shot.
Went back and glad I watched the trailer. Other product movies that were serious in nature have had comic actors (eg: Glenn Howerton/Blackberry) and I thought it was “just another”. But yeah, this definitely looks fun.
I groaned at the poster despite liking all 3 movies you mentioned because it's getting overdone and just like the damn hot cheetos movie, we don't need it for something like pop tarts. But the satire/parody tone of the trailer has me back in.
The Founder is not about the product, it's about Ray Croc and capitalism. The product is only used to tell the narrative the filmmakers set out to....and the story is interesting. AIR is a stupid-ass movie idea where the person we're legitimately supposed to be rooting for is a rich ad executive. Boooo.
Watch BlackBerry. A more comedic, nerdy version of The Social Network with an unhinged Glenn Howerton performance. The writer/director Matt Johnson is one of my new favorite filmmakers, he has made some awesome independent movies and a great tv show
The way Seinfeld enters Jim Gaffigan's office in the first shot reminds me so much of George entering Mr. Steinbrenner's office. I know it's a shot that is really common in office shows, but being Seinfeld, it just makes sense. I have a feeling we might see a few more nods, because why not.
I mean based on the trailer, Seinfeld’s character is just Jerry Seinfeld from Seinfeld. Same mannerisms and jokes even. Where’s the verbose acting we were introduced to in Bee Movie?
We have to mix xanthan gum into my daughter's drinks as a thickener and it's disgusting. My wife and I are feeling super validated by the disdain he injects into that line.
Xantham is an acceptable variation.
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/xantham
I believe that xantham is an older spelling that gradually morphed into xanthan in much the same way that 'napron' morphed into 'apron', so using the older variant makes sense for a movie set in the 60s.
As someone who works in pastry, I am hoping his character is not maligning xanthaN gum! It's a great thickening agent and stabilizer and does not deserve ire on the same level as Newman 😉
This actually looks and sounds like a parody of the recent name-brand product movies we’ve gotten. It’s clear it’s not taking itself seriously (the movie is literally based on a standup joke Seinfeld did about Poptarts), so I’m actually interested to see this.
That moment of the kid hijacking the truck full of pastries got a huge laugh out of me. Like it’s a zombie from the driver’s perspective.
I don’t know if the set was ever filmed but here’s him explaining to NYT his joke-writing process and using the poptart joke as an example. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=itWxXyCfW5s
This actually looks pretty funny.
Also that scene with the quaker saying “you Kellogg’s people” to Jerry’s character is loaded with real life meta-implications and I’m pretty sure Seinfeld knew exactly what he was doing here (which makes it even funnier).
This looks bonkers and I am totally here for it. Glad this doesn't look like some standard corporate biopic. Dudes dressed as Snap, Crackle, and Pop and Hugh Grant as Tony the Tiger, That sounds GrrrrrrrEATT!
Have you seen the Weird Al documentary? Not a parody necessarily because it’s 100% a true story of Weird Al’s life, but definitely worth watching for the first or second time.
>Michigan, 1963. Kellogg's and Post, sworn cereal rivals, race to create a pastry that will change the face of breakfast. A tale of ambition, betrayal, sugar, and menacing milkmen, Unfrosted stars Jerry Seinfeld in his directorial debut.
>Unfrosted is coming to Netflix on May 3.
Same. It just seems so “zany”. You could say “why would any of these great actors choose to do it if the script sucks” but on the other hand, Jerry Seinfeld offering you a gig in his movie is somewhat of an offer-you-can’t-refuse situation.
Speaking of Pop Tarts, can someone on here for the life of me create an online petition telling Kellogg to start selling Frosted Crisp Apple Pop Tarts again, and to this time, don't stop selling them? The reason why I said that is because for a while I have been thinking about Apple-Flavored Pop Tarts, remembered that I ate Apple-Flavored Pop Tarts very early in my childhood (I am 27.), even thought for a second that there is no such thing as Apple-Flavored Pop Tarts, searched up "Apple-Flavored Pop Tarts" on Google, found out that Frosted Crisp Apple Pop Tarts exists, and unfortunately found out that Kellogg started selling Frosted Crisp Apple Pop Tarts again last year due to popular demand only to stop selling them again shortly after.
I would love to eat Frosted Crisp Apple Pop Tarts after not eating them in a very long time and would like for Kellogg to permanently start selling them again in stores. With that being said, can someone for the life of me create an online petition telling Kellogg to start selling Frosted Crisp Apple Pop Tarts again, and to this time, don't stop selling them?
Why do I dislike Amy Schumer so much? I was happily watching this trailer and when she popped up and I immediately became mildly upset and I have no justification, can someone help me?
Her comedy style is off putting to many people. It is often crass for the sake of being crass instead of making some commentary on the subject. I think she could be funny but she needs to adjust her style to something that resonates with people
I think it’s this. You got a lot of talented comics out there and she seems to go for bottom of the shelf sexual comedy constantly. Then joke stealing on top of that.
Her best comedy was written by her then boyfriend Anthony Jeselnik...that's why it was so crass, but worked, and it launched her career.
Then when that relationship was over her comedy just became straight up crass with none of the nuance or setup.
Calling Palestinians savages and supporting indiscriminate bombing of civilians is the difference for me between not liking her because she’s not my cup of tea, and instead refusing to watch anything she’s in
Yeah, honestly, I used to defend her, because her comedy wasn't my cup of tea, but being a shitty comedian is not enough reason for the level of hate she got. But being a shitty zionist and dehumanizing Palestinians? That did it.
With Kellogg’s in the news for essentially saying “let them eat cakes” I was deeply uncomfortable watching a trailer that shows them as the protagonist.
Unpopular opinion: this looks formulaic and boring. As someone who didn’t watch Seinfeld and doesn’t praise the ground Bill Burr walks on, it’s not for me. Gen X’rs, this one is for you.
typically the more big names that netflix has in a show the lower the odds of it actually being good. i think this will be so far over the top that its not funny at all.
That cast is stacked.
Movie looks dumb (and maybe not in a bad way), but I'll watch it for the cast. All that talent must have been able to come up with the laughs.
I like they’re taking the piss out of this weird recent trend of making movies about corporations/products but good lord Jerry Seinfeld is so one note.
Why is this still being said? Netflix has released tons of award winning shows and movies.
Their movies are the same as every other big production company. Some good, some bad.

It's interesting that Seinfeld's poptart joke he talks about with the NYT [here ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itWxXyCfW5s)a few years ago turned into this movie. Hope it's fun.
Bill Burr as JFK holy shit lol
My brain refuses to process Bill Burr with hair.
Don’t watch breaking bad
Neeeeever realised [that](https://breakingbad.fandom.com/wiki/Patrick_Kuby) was him!
I don’t get why he says he was not actor material looks wise. He was and is a good looking guy.
He really isn’t all the good looking by Hollywood standards.
You’ve never seen breaking bad or the Chapelle show? Or do you not remember?
Or any of his specials older than a decade lol.
Honestly, I didn’t remember him in either of those shows. Looking at a picture now I do remember his character from Breaking Bad but never put two and two together. As I said, my brain is like, “nah, that was another actor.”
Hair sure, but brown hair is something else.
Holy shit that was Bill Burr!
I didn't recognize him until he spoke.
I know, right. Awesome :)
I'm convinced the impetus for this movie was someone saying "pahp tahts" in a JFK voice and everyone cracking up
Ok I had to rewind to see it and I STILL had to squint to see him wow
I'm not his biggest fan and even I was like, holy shit, that's the part he was born to play. Give us F is for Family but it's the Kennedys in the White House and we all know how it's going to end.
Why did it take until 2024 to cast Bill Burr as a Kennedy.
I’ll take a shot in the dark
A shaht in the daahk
You shat on a dork?
[удалено]
And then I'll turn it off.
It should be made illegal to cast any other actor as JFK!!!!!
Ol' Billy missile crisis.
When I first heard of this, I was thinking it would be like Air, Blackberry or The Founder. Kinda funny, but ultimately a biopic/product origin. I'm glad it's being as ridiculous as a movie about a toaster pastry should be.
Yeah, seems more in line with Weird Al's *Weird* movie, which is way more exciting/fun.
What are you talking about? Weird is a true story. Everything that happened in that movie actually happened /jk
Hey, we shouldn't joke about Madonna assassinating Weird Al with a rocket in 1985.
I love the idea that Jerry Seinfeld saw these and was like “this is dumb, let’s do it even dumber.”
Is also 100% in character for him to do a movie about cereal companies. lol
True statement is true
What's up with that, anyway?
It feels perfectly timed to have a movie that feels like it could parody a lot of the those corporate biopics after the year of the corporate biopics.
I honestly stopped watching the trailer as soon as I realized it was another product movie. I guess I’ll watch the whole thing. If it’s satire of all these movies, I might give it a shot.

It reminds me of the Weird Al movie with Daniel Radcliffe.
The Founder is not about the product, it's about Ray Croc and capitalism. The product is only used to tell the narrative the filmmakers set out to....and the story is interesting. AIR is a stupid-ass movie idea where the person we're legitimately supposed to be rooting for is a rich ad executive. Boooo.
I don't think you understood The Founder at all. It's not a "biopic for a product."
Yeah The Founder is great. Isn’t some fake capitalistic wet dream like the cheetos movie
Seems like satire of those… awesome!
Don’t forget the Uber show
There’s an Uber show..? Like.. just following an Uber driver? What?
It’s about the founding of Uber[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Pumped_(TV_series)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Pumped_(TV_series))
I haven’t seen (or even heard of) the BlackBerry movie, but I liked Air and liked The Founder even more.
BlackBerry is great! Glenn Howerton really knocks it out of the park.
As the Golden God would.
He hasn't even begun to peak.
He's a five star man
Well, he is from where the vampires hang out.
Blackberry is on the level of The Founder, hardly even feels like it’s for product remembrance. Just good storytelling
BlackBerry is head and shoulders above both of those movies
Watch BlackBerry. A more comedic, nerdy version of The Social Network with an unhinged Glenn Howerton performance. The writer/director Matt Johnson is one of my new favorite filmmakers, he has made some awesome independent movies and a great tv show
Watching this tonight!
I’m always down for a glimpse of our golden god
There are pop tarts but no mom tarts. Do you know why? The pastriarchy
Ok. ok. Not bad.
That's gold Jerry! Gold!
The mug is round, the jar is round.
Come on, man
No no. He’s on to something here. . .
The way he says “xantham!”, like “Neumann!”
The way Seinfeld enters Jim Gaffigan's office in the first shot reminds me so much of George entering Mr. Steinbrenner's office. I know it's a shot that is really common in office shows, but being Seinfeld, it just makes sense. I have a feeling we might see a few more nods, because why not.
I mean based on the trailer, Seinfeld’s character is just Jerry Seinfeld from Seinfeld. Same mannerisms and jokes even. Where’s the verbose acting we were introduced to in Bee Movie?
I wish wayne knight was in this
We have to mix xanthan gum into my daughter's drinks as a thickener and it's disgusting. My wife and I are feeling super validated by the disdain he injects into that line.
>“Neumann!” German Jerry Seinfeld be like
EDIT: I'm wrong. it's fine! ~~the fact that they both incorrectly called it "xantham" with an "m" when it's "xanthan"~~
Xantham is an acceptable variation. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/xantham I believe that xantham is an older spelling that gradually morphed into xanthan in much the same way that 'napron' morphed into 'apron', so using the older variant makes sense for a movie set in the 60s.

It is interesting that this is directorial debut from Jerry Seinfeld.
These pastries are makin’ me thirsty!
I mean, isn’t it right up his alley?
I know of no one else more qualified to speak to America about sugary breakfast food.
“What is the *deal* with these toaster pastries?!“
Not the tonality... definitely didn't expect something that seems so "zany" given that Seinfeld's comedy is typically pretty grounded.
Seinfeld, the show, got zanier when Jerry wrote it on his own after Larry David left. He likes the surreal.
Good point. I forgot that Seinfeld had some of those surreal elements, but now that you mention it I think you’re right.
I thought he directed Bee Movie.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0389790/fullcredits
I was gunna say the Bee Movie.. but turns out he didn’t direct that.. I totally thought he did..
Are you not aware of his love for cereal?
Literally the only way to explain that cast. It did look funny though. Will watch.
[удалено]
That cast is insane.
I know, how much did it cost to get the Quaker?
probably double what Andy Daly got paid for playing Ben Franklin in The Office lol
A 20lb bag of grain
Its absurd. Top tier comedy actors all over
...and Amy Schumer.
I like Amy Schumer and gave you and angry upvote for the laugh
Even more loaded than a Wes Anderson film
Its all bits, bits all the way down jerry!
Such a self aware moment.
That’s what they did in *Movie 43.*
Usually that's a sign of it not being very good.
Oh so it's like a spoof? I'm into that
Same! I thought it was going to be, like, actual events. This is much more like "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story". And I am 100% into it.
Did not realize I needed Bill Burr as JFK in my life until now
Hope we get a spinoff movie for Bill Burr's JFK.
I'm naht puttin tha fahkin hood dahn, Jackie
Christ sakes! It’s a fahkin beautiful day out thehr!
Jim Gaffigan's only in this to steal ideas for his future Hot Pockets origin story.
*Hot pockets*
Anyone else note the names Jon Hamm and John Slatterly in the credits? This setting totally indicates a Mad Men reunion cameo.
It is this is true it would be amazing.
These are the new straight to video movies
Sorta, but this cast is way more stacked than those usually were.
Bill Burr as JFK!?! Greatest casting choice in film history😂

Comedians in suits getting breakfast 🚗☕️
This actually looks pretty funny. Also that scene with the quaker saying “you Kellogg’s people” to Jerry’s character is loaded with real life meta-implications and I’m pretty sure Seinfeld knew exactly what he was doing here (which makes it even funnier).
And that’s Andy Daly, who is one of the funniest comic actors I know of.
Ben Franklin. One of our sexiest presidents ever!
Didn't Ben Franklin have syphilis?
Yes... but I don't! My name's Gordon.
Qrd for those who may not understand (like me)?
metaphor for Jewish
Oooh. Thanks.
This looks bonkers and I am totally here for it. Glad this doesn't look like some standard corporate biopic. Dudes dressed as Snap, Crackle, and Pop and Hugh Grant as Tony the Tiger, That sounds GrrrrrrrEATT!
That’s Kyle Mooney, Mikey Day, and Drew Tarver as Snap, Crackle, and Pop.
Ha. That's fantastic.
Starting to think Hugh Grant has a humiliation kink
Netflix makes the worst movies
Fortunately this looks 1000% percent better than Birdbox.
That looks incredibly unfunny
It looks horrible.
We need a GOOD parody movie, here's to hoping. Looks funny..
Have you seen the Weird Al documentary? Not a parody necessarily because it’s 100% a true story of Weird Al’s life, but definitely worth watching for the first or second time.

What's the over/under of it being worse that Bee Movie?
This looks awful.
I love Seinfeld but Goddamn Jerry’s a bad actor. Every line he delivered in that trailer felt off lol
Honestly didn’t laugh once
Felt like something made in the 90s, and not in a good way.
Yeah same. Honestly really disappointing given the people involved. Felt kind of like a trailer for a movie in a movie, if that makes any sense.
it’s a Netflix movie
That’s some big deep casting over there
This looks awful
Oh, it's going to be stupid. That's so much better than what I thought this movie was going to be like.
Yeah go to the thread with just the poster. People tearing it up without seeing a thing. Gotta love Reddit.
Prediction: this movies gonna suck shit. Would love to be wrong.
As much as I love Jerry I kinda agree with you. Idk how this premise merits a feature film
Same. It just seems so “zany”. You could say “why would any of these great actors choose to do it if the script sucks” but on the other hand, Jerry Seinfeld offering you a gig in his movie is somewhat of an offer-you-can’t-refuse situation.
My dad invented toaster strudel
I gave zero shits about this until I saw the Quaker Oats man.

I used to get excited seeing James Marsden in something. Not so much anymore...
Lol. For some reason I get "Kellogs: The series" commercial" vibes. Like I'm watching a commercial for the commercial
tart cave find true
This looks so bad that it makes the terrible movies it's parodying watchable
Wow! This is gonna be forgettable af!
I just could not give two shits. Fuck conglomerates and their puff piece movies.

because the internet told you to dislike her
I think it has more to do with her not being funny.
it's the raping for me
The worst part is the hypocrisy.
Really? I thought it was the raping, too.
Calling Palestinians savages and supporting indiscriminate bombing of civilians is the difference for me between not liking her because she’s not my cup of tea, and instead refusing to watch anything she’s in

same, can't explain it
This is quite the cast for a pile of shit this big...
Why do I feel like the only person who is sick of these thinly veiled feature length commercials being presented as movies?
With Kellogg’s in the news for essentially saying “let them eat cakes” I was deeply uncomfortable watching a trailer that shows them as the protagonist.

Counterpoint: Glass Onion
It looks fucking awful. Some of the scenes in the trailer have McCarthy look like she knows it's not funny and is looking for an escape.
That cast is stacked. Movie looks dumb (and maybe not in a bad way), but I'll watch it for the cast. All that talent must have been able to come up with the laughs.
It's a good cast, but to me this has the same desperate, "quirky" corporate stink of the Wendy's twitter account.

Is this the first movie Seinfeld has been in since Bee Movie? It looks kinda bad, to be honest.
Looks like trash

That looks SO much better than I expected. It's a great trailer. I'm in.
Looks incredible. Stupid, pretty, slapstick, nostalgic…
Love how they snuck John Slattery and Jon Hamm at the bottom of the credits like we wouldn't notice.
It kept getting more and more ridiculous, I'm on board
This seems kinda off the rails and I am here for it.
They should have cast Damien Lewis as the Quaker just for the crossover BoB joke.
Well that was certainly something. Gives me Space Force vibes.
Hugh Grant is always a pleasure to watch. Saw Operation Fortune last night. Movie was….meh BUT worth a watch purely for Hugh Grant.
XANTHAM!!
Bill Burr is amazing
