This Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul Emmy promo video features the two Breaking Bad stars together again, playing different characters who run a pawn shop and from the looks of it, perhaps even some illicit trades on the side.

In the video for this year's upcoming Emmy's, Julia Louis-Dreyfus tries to turn in her prestigious Emmy award in order to help her pay for a private island that she impulsively bought online. The guys of the super sketchy 'Barely Legal Pawn' shop drive a hard bargain and in the end, the actress decides it might be best to hold onto her trophy. The [Audi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-commerce1)-sponsored ad is hilarious and one that Breaking Bad fans will definitely want to watch, right through to the end for the brilliant twist and final last words.
