Video: Kate Upton And Snoop Dogg Star In Bizarre Ad For Hot Pockets
Sometimes, bizarre shit just goes down, without any rhyme or reason. And sometimes, that shit happens to take the form of a Hot Pockets commercial, starring Kate Upton and Snoop Dogg.
Such is the case with the most recent ad for the stuffed, baked deliciousness, wherein Upton has some sort of dream about Snoop in which he raps about Hot Pockets, and how he is the secret baker behind their goodness.
Set to the tune of Biz Markie's "Just A Friend," Dogg describes in detail how, exactly, he goes about making some of the best snacks on earth:
I bet you're wondering, who are you?/The baker who made new Hot Pockets come true Wanna bake with me? Then come on in/We light up taste buds from beginning to end

Snoop is then challenged by a butcher, who claims that it's the meat that he puts in the pockets that make them so delicious. They then battle for world domination. Behold:
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
