Walter White and Jesse Pinkman are back together once more, as Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul have reprised their roles in an unlikely way.
The duo, who starred in the award-winning AMC series from 2008 to 2013, reunited for a PopCorners advert ahead of this weekend's Super Bowl.
The stars – who also reunited for Breaking Bad film El Camino and cameoed in spin-off series Better Call Saul – feature in a new sketch titled 'Breaking Good', reuniting them with series creator Vince Gilligan.

It sees Jesse marvelling at Walter's latest concoction - an air-popped snack that Jesse can't keep his hands off.
"No, we don't eat our own supply," Walter reminds him before their distributor Tuco (Raymond Cruz) grabs a bag for himself.
Walter commands Tuco to "Say. Their. Name", before the drug kingpin gives the snack his nod of approval.

Speaking about the reunion, Cranston told Entertainment Weekly that PopCorners approached the pair after hearing how much they enjoyed working together.
"Once we heard the creative behind it and what they wanted to do, to really re-establish the authenticity of the characters, the wardrobe, the RV and all that, we were intrigued," he said.
"It's funny, after almost seven years of doing [Breaking Bad], we didn't have a lot of opportunities to just have fun, because of the intensity of the show.

"This was different because we had three days of just smiling and laughing and just enjoying each other's company and putting on these costumes that meant so much to us – as did the show itself.
"I realized when Aaron and I were looking at the creative and being pitched that we're having fun with the characters, we're not making fun of the characters, and that was important to us, to be able to stay in character. "
The show saw Cranston and Paul star alongside the likes of Anna Gunn, RJ Mitte, Giancarlo Esposito, Betsy Brandt, Dean Norris, and Bob Odenkirk.
In 2013, Breaking Bad entered the Guinness World Records as the most critically-acclaimed TV show of all time – and by the time the series finale aired, it was one of the most-watched cable shows on American television.
