Following the [“Whopperito”](http://time.com/4443210/burger-kings-whopperrito-burger-burrito/ "undefined") and those infamous [Cheeto chicken fries](http://time.com/money/4487352/cheetos-chicken-fries-burger-king/?iid=sr-link1 "undefined"), Burger King is now offering [cheesy tater tots](http://time.com/money/4584993/burger-king-cheesy-tots/ "undefined") and they enlisted Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) and Pedro (Efren Ramirez) to [recreate their memorable cafeteria scene](https://media.giphy.com/media/aMBang3Obq6Y/giphy.gif "undefined") from the movie in one of their restaurants. In the clip, Heder asks Ramirez for one of his tater tots before proceeding to steal all of his tots; unfortunately for us, Heder doesn’t put them all in his pocket [as Napoleon did in the film](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7B00dCAal4 "undefined"). Watch the full commercial below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4586156/napoleon-dynamite-and-pedro-are-still-bffs-in-a-hilarious-new-burger-king-commercial/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4586156/napoleon-dynamite-and-pedro-are-still-bffs-in-a-hilarious-new-burger-king-commercial/"},"headline":"Napoleon Dynamite and Pedro Are Still BFFs in a Hilarious New Burger King Tater Tots Commercial","datePublished":"2016-11-30T18:28:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:39:02.667Z","description":"Give me some of your tots!","url":"https://time.com/4586156/napoleon-dynamite-and-pedro-are-still-bffs-in-a-hilarious-new-burger-king-commercial/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Burger King","Humor","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4586156/napoleon-dynamite-and-pedro-are-still-bffs-in-a-hilarious-new-burger-king-commercial/","name":"Napoleon Dynamite and Pedro Are Still BFFs in a Hilarious New Burger King Tater Tots Commercial"}}]}] ```
