Ad of the Day: 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards/Audi: Barely Legal Pawn
Breaking Bad fans rejoice as Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul (also known as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman) reunite for a six-minute promo for the 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, taking place on Monday (25 August).
Created as part of Audi’s sponsorship of the event, the ad sees Cranston and Paul play a pawn shop owning duo that Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus turns to for help after too much rosé causes her to follow Celine Dion's lead and buy her own island.
In attempting to pawn her Best Supporting Actress Emmy for Seinfeld to pay off the debt, the dialogue nods to the pair’s past lives as Walt and Jesse, debating the merits of comedy vs drama and whether supporting roles are just as important and leading ones.
