Paul’s Jesse Pinkman wasseen in aBreaking Badcommercial teaserreleased mid-January, but he was only shown from behind and without the company of Cranston’s White. Now, PopCorners has unveiled a new teaser in which Paul’s Pinkman tries to start their mobile meth lab RV with no success, prompting Walt to warn him about flooding. Paul’s Pinkman can start the RV, but Walt is unimpressed, saying, “Even a blind squirrel…”
Fans might recognize the scene from amemorableBreaking Badepisode, “4 Days Out.” The ninth episode ofBreaking Badseason 2 followed Walt and Jesse while they were stranded in the desert after failing to start their RV. Of course, PopCorners' commercial distinguishes itself from theBreaking Badepisode by having Walt eating a bag of their chips.
TheSuper Commercial will also feature Raymond Cruz as Tuco Salamanca, a drug distributor and kingpin who clashed with Walt until his death. Tuco Salamanca was also one of theBreaking Badcharacters who appeared inBetter Call Saul, which was the last time fans saw him.Breaking BadandBetter Call Saulcreator Vince Gilligan returned to direct the Super Bowl commercial and the teasers building toward it.
AlthoughBreaking Badended in 2013, the series was not the last fans saw of Cranston as White and Paul as Pinkman. Both made cameo appearances in theBetter Call Saulseries finale.
