Have you seen the Jack in the Box TV commercial showing all those cute little cows, and then shows them made into a bunch of mini burgers ... bad commercial!

It does bad things for the dwarf and midget communities, with that high pitched chipmunk singing.

I had a friend from overseas that said when he came here and saw his first "jack" in box he was really entertained. he knew of "jack" as the euphemism used for, well, you know. i never looked at it like that before and it suddenly became quite a funny name. just felt like sharing.

Man, you guys are way too sensitive. I remember a day, just a few years ago, when you could make fun of anything and no one would whine about hurt feelings. America has gone soft...

Is Jack in a Box any good? We get many commercials from them, but there isn't one in the whole state. Same for Sonic.

Would it be better if they showed them made into more substantial burgers?

Its ok and for some reason super appealing to drunk people. The tacos are nice after you've had a few to drink.

You think thats bad?

Last week I saw an oil change commercial. They had this little animated stick figure enginer guy, and inside him was a simplified engine, with 2 pistons moving around ( not around, but you guys get what i mean) a shaft that seemed to have no depth, but was placed right by the male genital area.

I can just see a bunch of kids imitating that.

I chuckled.


I liked this ad more, though.

JitB commercial was: LAME. I thought it was gonna be some transformation from small cows -> burgers. Not a bunch of midgets.

Oilchangers: Funny. He urinates old oil Reminds me of Transformers movie, with bumblebee "lubricating" that S7 guy.....

Durex: ***???? Too artsy for a product like that

Absolutely! I agree with the OP this is a bad commercial. I generally wish for a larger burger that uses more cows and more effeciently distributes the meat. If they turned one cow into one mini burger that is just wasteful.
