LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1 (UPI) -- Jon Heder and Efren Ramirez have returned as Napoleon Dynamite and Pedro Sanchez in a Burger King ad for cheesy tots.

The clip released Tuesday, features the actors reprising their famous roles from Napoleon Dynamite as Heder asks Ramirez to try out the fast-food chains latest menu item, the Cheesy Tot.

"Whoa. Are those cheesy tots?" Heder says as Napoleon. "Yeah," replies Ramirez plainly as Pedro before offering up his friend to try one.

Heder then reaches over the table and grabs an entire handful of tots including the one Pedro had in his hand. The ad pays homage to a famous scene from the film that focused on Napoleon's love of his school cafeteria's tater tots and how he would smuggle them inside his pocket.

"Damn those are good," Heder says as he bites into the food. "They're back (Cheesy Tots)," Burger King then explains.
