Pop-Tarts evens the score with Jerry Seinfeld.

The toasted pastry brand shared a satirical short film in response to the comedian's Netflix film Not frozen, will be released on May 3. Seinfeld (and his directorial debut) shares a fictional and humorous story about the invention of Pop-Tarts, and since Pop-Tarts were not behind the film, the company responded with a satirical video on Youtube.

The short film titled “Not frozen “A comedy about Pop-Tarts, but the joke’s on Jerry” begins with a black screen.

One of the men introduced himself as Kelman P. Gasworth, president of Pop-Tarts.

“I just made a whole movie about Pop-Tarts,” Seinfeld answers lightheartedly, diving into a plate of Pop-Tarts.

“Do you now?” “Well, well, isn’t that something,” Gasworth says with a laugh, before quickly changing his tone. “Do you think maybe that’s why you’re here?”

“He hits me,” the actor shrugs, downing another Pop-Tart.

“I understand that you neither requested nor received permission to use our product in your film,” Gasworth continues, pausing as the Pop-Tart mascot whispers something in his ear.

“What do they say he is?” Seinfeld asks.

“What Tartee is asking is, 'Are you familiar with the concept of trademark infringement?' Gasworth answers, and Seinfeld responds that it sounds “complicated.”

“Schmubby, Jackie Chilis, and Soup Nazi!” Seinfeld responds in horror. “My characters!”

“No, don't do that. “You're not a comedian anymore, I am,” warns Gasworth.

Suddenly, the President of the Pop-Tarts appears on stage at a comedy show, wearing his same suit from the meeting with the spotlight on him.

“Why is Frankenstein wearing a sports jacket? It's not a wine tasting, we're terrorizing the villagers!” He punches and stops laughing but receives nothing. He even raises his hand to block the light and see if there's anyone in the crowd.
