If this year’s Emmy Awards are anything like the previous years, there are bound to be some parody videos on the show with a few of the biggest names in television.
But a few performers are getting an early jump on the Emmys. Case in point, “Barely Legal Pawn,” a new parody video that reunites “Breaking Bad” stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul as a pair of reality show pawn shop hucksters. And their potential client in this segment is none other than “Veep” star Julia Louis-Dreyfus playing a fictional version of herself.
It should be pointed out that this video was created as an advertisement for Audi, which explains some of the shameless car porn scenes with Louis-Dreyfus. Fortunately, “Barely Legal Pawn” is one of the funnier parody videos to come along in a while. And it doesn’t hurt that Cranston and Paul have impeccable comedic chemistry together and when playing off of Louis-Dreyfus.
As for Louis-Dreyfus, she also has a strong comedic performance in the video… which should surprise absolutely no one. In fact, chances are pretty good that Louis-Dreyfus will be taking home another Emmy next Monday. And despite some fierce competition in the drama categories, Cranston and Paul could win one more time for their run on “Breaking Bad.”
You can catch “Barely Legal Pawn” below. The 2014 Emmy Awards will be broadcast on August 25.
