Jerry Seinfeld on "Unfrosted," the made-up origin tale of Pop-Tarts
Comedian Jerry Seinfeld has stepped into the director's shoes for his new film "Unfrosted," the not-quite-true story of the creation of the Kellogg's Pop-Tart. Correspondent Mo Rocca talks with Seinfeld about working behind the camera for the first time, and calling on a bunch of his comedian friends (including "Sunday Morning" contributor Jim Gaffigan) to act in his origin tale of a breakfast staple.

One thing I've learned from studying animation is that 95% of all the best animation ever was in cereal commercials. We were all spoiled with Disney/theatrical quality animation for Lucky Charms and Froot Loops growing up and that tradition has been lost. They're kind of evil because a lot of them use sophisticated psychological manipulation, but it's still impressive. They're almost like demons or something

I'm 54 and on any given morning in, say, 1977 I would consume either the dearly beloved CHERRY or strawberry UNFROSTED poptart. Cherry needs to come back ASAP, and; have you ever tried butter on a Pop-Tart? It's sooo friggin' good!
Jerry put the fun back in funeral. I want one exactly like that when I die.
I never thought there was enough filling in pop tarts, but then that would have made them Hostess fruit pies, which I can buy just as easily. Looking forward to seeing this movie.

Jerry is a comedic jenius.
Fantastic pop tart “commercial “, I haven’t had one in 50 years but heading to the store now just so I get the satire better. 😂
i love that cinnamon pop tart, too and the chocolate frosted frosted..! MORE OF JERRY SEINFELD DOING MOVIES!!!!! That chicken at the funeral! Hilarious!
Kelloggs CEO: Johnson! In my office... Marketing Guy: Yes boss? CEO: If Mattel can get a movie done, we can too!? Any ideas? Marketing Guy: Just one...
"No company would want a movie of their product like this." But, guaranteed, this show WILL sell more Pop-Tarts! As for me, I like the classics: strawberry or blueberry, no frosting... although 'd never turn down a brown sugar, frosted, as a kid.
I remember watching Jerry in the 80s when i was a very small boy and breakfast... cereal being a huge part of his act and watching him slide down a spoon into a huge bowl of cereal and i thought that was awesome as a young boy.
Ok, 😅 I'm getting a kick out of reading everybody's comments. Oh my God! Do you know how bad these things are for you and yet I do see people later in years still eating Pop-Tarts. 😋
Europeans: Americans love to eat! Americans: dang right we do!
Brown sugar? Yuck. Strawberry unfrosted or frosted with a little butter added on top right when it comes out of the toaster. Loved them throughout my childhood. An experience my 3 children never had - they were all raised on organic everything. As adults, there is so much junk food in their homes!
This pop tart thing is mind blowing like the ad with nano technique removing calcium and lime scale deposit under waterline in toilets in dramatic music plus secret plumbing skill.
This is the thing now -- movies about consumer products like shoes, dolls, breakfast pastries.

When I was a child, the first Pop-Tarts were deemed parental malpractice, specifally motherly malpractice. Then they made it even worse by adding frosting.

Frosted strawberry... it can be eaten warm or right out of the packet. Unfrosted, however, can only be eaten warm. Any other way is uncivilized. Lol

Grew up eating Strawberry Unfrosted! A couple years ago when prices really started to jump on granola bars and other "snack" bars, I looked at the calorie counts and determined I was just as well off eating a pop-tart compared to a Natures Valley bar. Pop-tarts are far less expensive and have about the same nutritional value?! On top of that, eat them hot or cold! I eat one at a time for a snack and have probably saved hundreds of dollars in the last 2-3 years.
I was pretty sure I’d watch this, but the second I saw SaraH Cooper in this story, I freakin’ KNEW I’d be watching!!!
The interviewer is in this TOO MUCH .. !!! 👉 ... " ⛔ REMOVE HIM ⛔ " ... 👈

Brown Sugar Cinnamon IS the best flavor.
An interesting interview for me. I have more love for JSeinfeld than almost any other pop culture figure, and at the same time I consider Mo Rocca to be what an AI would create if I told it to create the image of my purest hatred.
Nabisco used to make a competing product. Called Toastetts they were vastly superior to PopTarts. I still miss those nearly-food treats.
Have you had a Pop Tart lately? They suck. Even the frosting tastes bad.
