Are there dragons in Pawnee?

Aubrey Plaza and Nick Offerman staged a fantastical Parks and Recreation reunion for a Super Bowl ad that aired during the big game between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Thank Mountain Dew Baja Blast for that.

Plaza, self-proclaimed America's sweetheart, is always having a blast with her Baja Blast, whether it be at a raucous kids' party, stuck in an elevator, or while abducted by aliens. "I can have a blast anytime, anywhere," she says, Baja Blast in hand while riding a dragon.

"And with anyone?" Offerman asks as his dragon pulls up alongside Plaza's. Cue: the best maniacal laugh from the both of them before Offerman later adds, "I, too, am having a blast!"

“They pitched me and Nick Offerman riding dragons. It's like, you just can't say no to that," Plaza told PEOPLE of the ad ahead of the big game. "That's the best April and Ron reunion that could have ever happened."

"It's very funny to not see someone for a long time, and then the next time you see them, you're dressed in Game of Thrones outfits and you're riding dragons and you're just like, ‘So how's the family?’” she added. “We were just cracking each other up.”

The American sweethearts both starred as government employees of the fictional Pawnee, Indiana's Parks and Recreation department in the NBC sitcom, led by Amy Poehler's ambitious Leslie Knope.

Absent on a dragon was Plaza's Parks and Rec hubby Chris Pratt, who also notably headlines his own commercial for Pringles during this year's big game. The actor turns into the mustachioed Pringles Man in the deliciously crunchy ad. Seems like they all had a blast.
