Which performance had Emmy attendees on their feet?

That’d be the pawn shop spoof starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul that was filmed to build buzz for the Emmy Awards.

The commercial for this year’s ceremony, in which Louis-Dreyfus looks into selling her “Seinfeld” Emmy, was among the clips shown inside the Nokia Theatre during a commercial break.

By the time it was over it had gotten far more laughs than “Weird Al” Yankovic’s actual Emmy performance.
