spark Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 For those wondering, "Jack In The Box" is a fast food/hamburger chain that is very common in the western USA. They have some very cool ads, all featuring "Jack" who is the CEO with a big giant clown head. This particuliar ad had some typical businessmen being pushed in stroller while talking on cell phones. All of the sudden one of the suits throws a fit and starts to cry, and the 'mommie' says "Ah, are you hungry?" "Here's your snack." The suits then start pushing each other like little kids. It's theme is "Adults need snacks too." A pretty cool ad, even if there weren't any diapers. Link to comment

babyfett Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Their commercials are a LOT better than their food! They should call them Jack In The Crack. After their burger scare back in the 90's. Link to comment
Diaper Mike 05 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I miss Jack in the Box. I spent 19 years in Southern California, they had good burgers, and mozzerella sticks (well, for California), the best shake I ever had (the Oreo shake), but their fries were awful IMO. And I liked the tacos for some odd reason. And babyfett, that is actually a nickname some people use for them. I heard that about as often as Jack in the Box. Link to comment
Santiago Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I live in AZ and so have seen that commercial - oddly I find it irritating - but then crying /whining babies are.... Link to comment
AbriForm Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Agreed. I have to remind my friends that are aware I am a baby... that we are not like the Jack in The Box ad. And yes, I am the butt of a few jokes every time it comes on. On a side note, the pita snacks do taste good... and the non-fried ones are much more healthy than most of the crud on their menu.

phogendpf Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 They should call them Jack In The Crack. After their burger scare back in the 90's. Ya my friends and I call it Jack in the crack. Ive also seen the commercial a few times. I wish there were diapers in it. Link to comment

mommyluv Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 From a mommy's perspective, yah i finally saw those commericals, thought they were cute .. though i would have thought they would have dressed the suits up in bonnets, I know the pretense of the commerical is adults need snacks too, but it would have make it more... fitting?--for lack of a better word. But then again I am seeing it frm a mommy's perpective. And i go there for their shakes too. mommyluv Link to comment
dlfriendwearing Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I live in AZ and so have seen that commercial - oddly I find it irritating - but then crying /whining babies are.... LOL, I agree. If you ever want to talk to a fellow dl let me know, we are in the same town, dont worry, strait male. Just looking for friends into similar things. Link to comment
pctrasher Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Wow, I hate that commercial with a passion. The first time it was full of irony and had the wow factor, but the last 800 times I've seen it (and I don't watch a whole lot of tv), it's been VERY annoying with the whining and stuff. And if the people that wrote the commercial were ab/dl aware, they would be stereotyping a bad stereotype and I would have to hunt them down and feed them their face. Link to comment
Gennie Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I saw the commercial once. It was cute, but would be annoying after the third or fourth time. I LOVE the stroller! I want one of those, either single, or a double with someone else. I used to go to Jack In A Box back in the 70's, I've tried it since, I won't go back. It's just horrid food. Jenny Link to comment
spark Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 I have to admit I find that commercial very annoying now. Of course after seeing it about 500 times (I admit, I like having the t.v. on) it is plain annoying. Maybe it is just because I'm more aware of it, but it seems like this Jack in Box commercial has been played longer than most. Link to comment
Santiago Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I agree - it has been played longer than most - and it is pretty friggin annoying.... Link to comment
