Mini Sirloin Burgers!


I effing love Jack in the Box's new Mini Sirloin Burgers ad campaign.  I love it so much that when the commercial where the lady asks Jack to sing the "Mini Sirloin Burgers" song comes on in the car, I turn up the radio and sing along.  I have the timing down perfectly, including the "ha!" at the end.  It's brilliant.

It turns out I'm not the only one who likes these commercials.  Yesterday, my sisters and I had a pool party.  Since the Lakers had their first playoff game, we had the TV on, too.  All of a sudden, Sis-T squeals and runs to the TV.  "I LOVE this commercial!" she shouts, causing me to look up, squeal too and join her.  
The two of us stood in front of the TV, in our bathing suits, dancing and singing to the Mini Sirloin Burgers song.  It's just so effing catchy.  And great.  Sis-T loves the "cows the size of schnauzers... but they're cattle."  Ha.  She would.

Of course, my first thought was "Isn't this offensive to Little People?"  (Okay, this was my second thought.  My first thought was, "I effing love this commercial and want to watch it over and over again).  I decided to do a little research in the form of a google search.  I searched "mini sirloin burgers jack in the box offensive?"  Here are some results:
  • "The new Jack n' the Box commercial about mini sirloin burgers is offensive to little people and hilarious at the same time!"
  • Jack-in-the-Box commercial thread on DISboards.com
  • But here was the best: 
Which commercial is more offensive?
The jack in the box commercial with the mini sirloin burgers and singing midgets on miniature ponies, or the quiznoe's commercial where they insinuate that the guys, well... you know, is one foot long and he had sex with the oven.
Additional Details: Sorry, midgets isn't politically correct. I mean dwarves.

Because here's thing: the
Quiznos commercial IS ridiculous!  RIDICULOUSLY FUNNY! (okay, and a little creepy)


PS, if you happen to like Jack in the Box commercials in general (I do), you may enjoy this.
