Different mood! Let's see how it rolls.
But no! What I bring to you today is going to be a humor twofer. Two commercials that go hand-in-hand and are actually funny.
Yes. I do like some things.
Be warned: this video is unnecessarily loud.
Jack-in-the-Box, a fast food joint probably best known for its murder burgers, or rather it's E. coli fiasco in the early 90's. Now known for not being anywhere near my house so I can't actually try it. I'm looking at you, too, Sonic.
It's a short 'n actually sweet commercial, so, this being a ranting area...we'll be a little short on that today.
But do y'get it?! They're talking about the BUTT!
I mean...the RECTUM!
Guh, I mean the SPHINCTER!
The POOP CHUTE!
There. Joke properly ruined! Glad to know you come here for the class.
Seriously, though, this commercial's pretty slick (like mud butt, teehee!) with only one actual flaw.
Burger King's your competition? What.
No, wait. That's sensible. I see where you're coming from. Just like this year's Detroit Lions are competition for, let's say, the Tennessee Titans. That's sporty, right? Only, in that case, you have one stellar team and then you have the Detroit Lions.
No...that's pretty much the same here.
Sorry, Jacky, but while your ad was mad...mad AWESOME, that is...you don't exactly rank on BK's top rivals list. Maybe if you ran a campaign featuring a funeral with a coffin constructed of sirloin patties, you'd be more like McDonald's, an actual rival, who has probably caused more heart disease related deaths than you hope your E. coli phase could have provided. Thank you, Morgan Spurlock.
Bonus commercial, since it ties in perfectly with the previous one.
Ohhhhh! Angus...Anus! That's the word! Geez, what a brain fart I had.
Fart...Anus...I'm almost as dignified as Jack-in-the-Box. Hi-yo!
That's all this one is, too. One long butt joke. And I'm okay with it. Why? Because these people will do anything to get people to buy their food. I probably won't because of the whole "diseased meat" and the "why don't you actually have a restaurant in my area?" deals.
To be fairly honest, you will probably see many more J to the I-T-B ads on here when I'm feeling less snarky and more neat. They run good campaigns, most of them almost going over the line, and I like that. I'm in my 20's. Crassitude is just fine.
Ratings? Sure.
-3 High-fives, 2 for the 1st commercial and 1 for the follow up as a bonus-five.
-2 large snow balls to give Jack his entire body back so he won't feel out of place when he visits Frosty this holiday season.
-1 Anus burger to BK because that's the message here. You sell butt burgers. Heehee! Butt.
See you Wednesday when I'm back to being surly. And I love being surly.

Oh! I remember the e.coli fiasco of the early 1990s. We never ate at the Jack in the Box near our house because of it. And I haven't seen a lot of Jack in the Boxes ever since we moved in 1992. Needless to say, I've never eaten at a Jack in the Box.
