      Please do a video on the history of Jack from Jack In The Box! Especially the often-forgotten 1970s era version of Jack, not enough people talk about him. There's only three commercials [Baseball, In The Park, Jack In The Box Animated Commercial 1970s] and three comics [How A House Makes Noise, Where Oil Comes From, How Pain Helps Us] on YT, but I highly recommend checking them out. They're actually really charming and I personally find them underrated. Also, Paul Winchell did the voices, but it's most noticeable with 70s Jack himself and Onion Ring Thing. Jack's history is so interesting in my opinion.

    Growing up as a kid in the 1970's when Disco ruled, I always thought the King's appearance was fashioned after Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees. Whenever the commercials came on I was always expecting the King to sing in that high-pitched falsetto that Barry is known for, but sadly he never did. ☹

    Burger King should’ve only have Magician King as their mascot and have him do magic tricks of food and merchandise that they were selling in their commercials. It would’ve been better and not just a straight copy of McDonaldland

    **inside information**
    The real reason BK doesn't use a live mascot is because they don't want to risk a situation like Subway had with Jared. This is actually something they forseen happening long before Subway and Jared ever even existed.
    The magician king mascot actor had some issues in his personal life that the bk owners didn't care for and, believed it would be a public relations problem if it came out. 😅

    Burger king is just way better without a mascot. Mcdonalds no longer has a mascot, it seems to be working well. I'm happy that they are no longer using a mascot, it is good to see the new whopper adverts breathing new life into the company. The king from the 80s was straight up nightmare fuel. I have a phobia. All bk mascots are creepy, they won't ever get mascots right, so they should stay away from it.
