Jerry Seinfeld gathers a wild berry cast for his Pop-Tart movie
Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Hugh Grant, Amy Schumer, and many more will appear in Netflix's Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story
Aux News Tart
Remember when Jerry Seinfeld was so enamored by his own Pop-Tart joke that he threatened to make a whole movie about the creation of the Pop-Tart. No? Well, it doesn’t matter because for as powerful as our readers are (and they are quite powerful), nothing is stopping Netflix and Seinfeld from assembling a truly wild cast for this thing.
Deadline reports that this Pop-Tart is almost ready for the toaster, with an all-star cast ready to be gobbled up by the Seinfeld faithful. Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Amy Schumer, Hugh Grant, James Marsden, Jack McBrayer, Tom Lennon, Adrian Martinez, Bobby Moynihan, Max Greenfield, Christian Slater, and Sarah Cooper are all signed on for roles in Seinfeld’s directorial debut, Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Stroy.
His first film since the 2007 meme classic Bee Movie, Seinfeld, who will also co-write and star in the film, based the movie on a joke he wrote years ago about Pop-Tarts, one that served as the subject for a New York Times interview about joke writing. As of this writing, “How To Write A Joke” has amassed more than 2.6 million views.
Set in Michigan in the early-60s, Unfrosted sees the toaster-based pastry race between Kellogg’s and Post to create something toast-able, jelly-filled, edible pocket. It’s unclear what role Seinfeld or his very famous friends will play.
Another unclear thing is what kind of role the Devil will play in the film. Everyone knows that Lucifer holds a special place in Pop-Tart lore. Like the snake tempting Eve with a bite of forbidden fruit, Satan assumes the disguise of an extremely cool skateboarding child, offering dissatisfied classmates a Pillsbury Toaster Strudel in exchange for their soul and on the condition they fill their lockers with unwanted Pop-Tarts. As of press time, no one has been cast as Satan.

Crazy cameo from Krazy Glazy.
I was racking my brain trying to figure out which 80s or 90s movie these stills are from, but…I think these are actually original drawings? Whoever made this is a master at transforming the cast of a classic sitcom into Bluthian animal caricatures. It’s a useless life skill, unfortunately, but hey.
https://www.instagram.com/kosperry/The guy uh…apparently really, really likes furry characters. But he’s talented, I gotta give him that.
Yeah his channel has a bunch of “Seinfeld as Bluthian animation” clips which are quite entertaining.
Jack McBrayer. Of course, Jack McBrayer. That seems inevitable.
Jack would make an excellent Satan.
This is one of those articles where I have to check to make sure im not on The Onion.
“Jerry Seinfeld is making a movie about Pop-Tarts” sounds like the result of a game of Mad Libs.
Truly ,we live in the most random timeline.
I’m increasingly inclined to think there’s nothing Seinfeld’s ever done that wouldn’t have been just as good with Ray Romano or Rob Schneider. He was certainly the fourth funniest main cast member on Seinfeld.
Every time they say “pop” it gets 10x faster.
“Ya like frosting?”

… what?
I’ve heard Seinfeld’s pop-tart joke. If this is a parody movie that makes fun of movies like The Founder which make a big deal out of the invention of fast food items, could be good.
Teenagers LOVE Pop-Tarts, so the Seinfeld connection makes a lot of sense.
I’m kinda amazed he didn’t go full circle and do a film on the origin of airplane food.
Needs more Brian Regan
