Samsung is out with a :60 Super Bowl teaser entitled El Plato Supreme. The teaser features Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd who have been called in, by Breaking Bad’s Bob Odenkirk to pitch their ideas for Samsung’s “Big Game” ad for Samsung’s The Next Big Thing. What transpires is a hilarious conversation about what can and can’t be said in a Super Bowl ad.

Directed by Jon Favreau, Samsung’s actual Super Bowl ad will be a 2-minute production which will air during the 4th quarter. This is the second year Samsung Mobile has an ad running during the Super Bowl.

The full 2-minute ad, edited by Geoff Hounsell and Will Hasell at Arcade Edit, and an extended cut version will be released later this week.

In 2012, Samsung Mobile aired its first Super Bowl ad launching its smartphones and the Galaxy Note. The ad, which was developed by 72 and Sunny, won the Twitter Ad Scrimmage that included 30 brands and 42 spots. The Galaxy Note went on to sell 10 million devices globally in 9 months followed by the Galaxy Note II which sold 5 million devices globally in 2 months.

Of this year’s work, 72andSunny CEO John Boller said, “The Next Big Thing campaign has always been about keeping a finger on the pulse of what is current and relevant to consumers. This ad represents our collaborative, real-time approach to creating ads with Samsung. Their unique approach to marketing has given them a competitive edge and has helped propel the brand to be one of the top 10 in the world.”

That said, the teaser is just funny. We’re sure the actual ad will be as well.

Greif and Gleason’s 1980 research on how children learn politeness routines found that young children almost never say “please” or “thank you” spontaneously, they say it because a parent prompts them with “what do you say?” dozens of times a week, meaning the reflex adults later display without thinking twice was built through years of someone else’s prompting long before it became automatic.

Many adult children remember watching a father work sixty-hour weeks for decades so the family could have what he never did, then watched him die in his sixties without ever prioritizing his own happiness, and now see that same pattern quietly repeating in their own lives, under a different name.

A landmark study found that Catholic nuns who wrote sparse, simple autobiographies in their early twenties, when they entered the convent in the 1930s, were far more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease roughly six decades later, with about 80 percent of the low-complexity writers eventually developing the disease compared to only 10 percent of those whose youthful essays were dense with ideas
