> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Number \* > \*\*I must admit I really got a kick out of the ad that ended “ **WITHOUT THE BUN YOUR HANDS WOULD GET COVERED WITH MEAT AND CHEESE!** ” Unfortunately they re-edited it after about a week and killed its great comic timing. \*\* “We’ll get back to you on that” And the Meaty-Cheesy Boys. with “What’s a demographic?” I love JITB commercials. Luckily, I also like the Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger - so I get to support their making more of them. ---

I admit, my favorite one was the Cat Chat…Oh wait, no, that’s not my favorite one. My favorite one is the commercial with the serious doctor telling us to eat all those horribly fatty foods. ---

Ah, I forgot my second favorite JITB ad. A big overweight guy walks up to a table. Two guys are discussing their girlfriends. The big overweight guy sits down. The big overweight guy(TBOG) has Jacks hat on his head. One of the guys at the table asks TBOG why he has Jacks hat on his head. TBOG guy says “Well, I got Jacks hat. They gave me free Curly Fries. It was the Hat. They thought I was Jack”. The friends said “It wasn’t the hat, they are giving Curly fries to everyone”. TBOG responds “Oh Yeah? Then why did they give me Jacks pay check?” and he pulls out a check. The ad cuts to TBOG wearing the Jack hat in front of a picture of Jack while a teen, standing next to TBOG, says on her cell phone “You will never guess who I am standing next to. It’s JACK!” The hat thing still kills me. Slee ---

Yeah? Well, what about the one where this guy doesn’t know what to order, so he gets to talk to Jack! That’s right, Jack himself! “Just a moment,” the cashier says half-laughingly as she assumes this smile that seems to say, “Do you think it odd that someone could speak to Jack so easily? Well, I’ll prove you all wrong, and have fun doing so…Hahah, all those people watching this commercial, they’re thinking, ‘how could he possibly talk to Jack, just like that?’ I’ll prove them wrong yet…I’ll show them how easy it is. It will be a genuine see-I-told-you-so moment, and never do I doubt my ability to put this man through with Jack himself!” Upon learning that the befuddled would-be diner has only “about a buck”, Jack suggests the two tacos for 99 cents. Well, hopefully, the man has something in the ball park of $1.08, what with taxes and all. And then Jack smugly says, “Please pull up to the next window.” That’s right! Even though he’s on a plane, who knows how far from this restaurant, he is sufficiently knowledgeable about the process of drive-through fast-food procedures, that he can confidently give the next step. The astonished man, still in shock over the honor of speaking to Jack, pulls forward. Right around then, I scream because I cannot tolerate this commercial. ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Number \* > “ **WITHOUT THE BUN YOUR HANDS WOULD GET COVERED WITH MEAT AND CHEESE!** ”_\* Oh Jebus, I almost forgot about that commercial! Bwahaha. I’m laughing my ass off just thinking about it. I love the one where there’s this kid with braces sitting in the car, about to take his driving test when the Jack antennae ball turns around and starts talking to him. I don’t remember exactly what the ball was said, but it was something along the lines of “pass the test, and I’ll take you to Jack in the Box where you’ll enjoy the best damn burgers in the universe.” Apparently the kid couldn’t withstand the pressure and exclaimed, “Stop messing with my mind!” … at which point the driving instructor sits down in the car and watches the kid yelling maniaclly into the air. The instructor proceeds to give the kid a funny look and says, “We’re going to have to take off for that.” Oh boy! Comedy!! (cackles) …And let us not forget the Meaty Cheesy Boys. Break it down!
