Jerry Seinfeld’s New Movie About Pop-Tarts Looks Freakin’ Hilarious

The last news we heard on the Morning Rat Race about Jerry Seinfeld was that he had an estimated net worth of a billion dollars.  Well, it looks like the comedy golden boy has struck again because Seinfeld's new movie looks freaking hilarious.  The trailer just dropped, you can see it below.  The movie is called, "Unfrosted" and it's Jerry Seinfeld's directorial debut.  He says that he wrote the story about the creation of the Pop-Tart and the corporate battle between the big cereal companies.  But, what may have started as a kind of biopic turned into a laugh riot pretty quickly.

Not surprisingly, Jerry Seinfeld's new movie is stacked with famous actors and comedians.  Joining him on the cast are: Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer, Jim Gaffigan, Hugh Grant, Bill Burr, Peter Dinklage, Christian Slater, Dan Levy, James Marsden, Jack McBrayer, Thomas Lennon, Tony McHale, Sebastian Maniscalco, Cedric the Entertainer, Fred Armisen, and the great Jon Hamm.

According to Netflix, who has the exclusive rights to the movie's debut, the script for this Pop-Tart movie was Jerry Seinfeld's pandemic project.  When Covid hit, he and co-writer Spike Feresten got down to business with what had been mostly a running joke between the two of 'em.  However, Jerry has been interested in a Pop-Tartesque movie for a long time, even going back to a 2018 tweet:

According to interviews that Jerry did about the project, when word got out about the script Hollywood stars began reaching out to him saying that they wanted to be part of the project.  One big-time star even did his audition of the phone, supposedly holding a glass of wine as he did the voice of Tony The Tiger.

With Seinfeld you can never be quite sure if you'll get something real.  I mean, his show "about nothing" gave us plenty of things to laugh about (until that final episode, that left me flat.  You too?)  Jerry Seinfeld's new movie may be based on the real-life story of the invention of the Pop-Tart but it went way off where the buses don't go in terms of fun.

Enjoy the trailer, I did!  The movie debuts on Netflix on May 3rd.

HE WAS IN THE POOL!

Easily one of the most versatile Seinfeld-isms from the whole series.

Soup!  Seinfeld has changed the way we look at soup since this classic episode!

You know a show is influential when you could be sitting on the toilet and think about it.

Jerry was always picky about his women, but this was easily one of our favorite “deal breakers” of his.

Really…this entire episode is a prime example of just how good the writing was.

The fact that Luke from Gilmore Girls is the one trying to prove himself to be “sponge-worthy” makes this clip even better.

Anyone else “yada yada’d” sex?  Anyone…anyone?

Some of us have “regifted” pre-Seinfeld, but they helped coin the term.

This writer’s in-laws call each other “schmoopie.” Even though they’re just kidding around, it’s still gross.

Regardless of the type of pretzel, it’s hard not to think of this Seinfeld-ism when you’re eating them.
