Also, Bacon Cures Hair Loss

I promise, this is the last Jack-in-the-Box commercial, but they’re hilarious.   Jack has a disreputable “doctor” (who takes his glasses off no less than four times) say that fast food is actually good for you.  The commercial is so over the top that I’m sure anyone could point out that it is obviously a joke, even without seeing the ending.  Of course, if this doctor is saying fast food is healthy and it’s known that it’s a joke, then the actually message is that fast food is bad for you.  That is a well-known fact, but most fast food chains concentrate on their food’s positives and ignore the health aspect altogether.  Now why in the world would a fast food company what to remind their audience how unhealthy their food is throughout the commercial?  It’s for the humor.  In my last two posts Jack has had no problem with seeing vegetarians as an embarrassment and advocating pot (exaggerations, but you get the idea).  The point is that those commercials were just meant to be funny, so people will actually like the commercials, and this one is no different.  It makes sense, but it’s an interesting approach at advertising to say the least.

  1. It’s kind of odd, but I didn’t hear or even remember what the fake doctor dude said because HE SAID SOO MUCH, idk if that makes me retarded but I’m thinking that was i tactic they were using the only thing i remember from the commercial are the stuffed jalapenos and some bacon cheddar “suped” up kfc loooking wedges but its being sold at jack in the box. :) ..their plan worked

  2. Its crazy how far fast food restaurants will go to sells there products. Obviously the fir muscular man and attractive girl also play a part in the point there are trying to get across, basically saying that if people like them eat that kind of food and there healthy and good looking the maybe the food isn’t as bad as people think.
