I have NO IDEA why I love this so much, maybe because the acting seemed so real and the cashier seemed so helpful, I sort of want a movie made of his day at work
My two best friends and I watched this about a million times when we all worked there. One day, some poor customer drove up and actually asked if there was meat in a Super Taco, and I literally said, "Oh, there's not just meat, there's SUPER MEAT!!" At which point, all three of us actually fell on the floor, laughing hysterically. Good times....
My two best friends and I damn near wore The Deadly Dangers film out with repeated viewings. The new Jumbo Jack and new breakfast menu were also major faves. All absolutely hilarious.
It still does. That Jack-in-the-Box location also still exists. Tampa Avenue and Rinaldi Street, Northridge CA. Go visit and enjoy some delicious milk!
I commented on this 2 years ago. I don’t even remember writing what I wrote and barely remember watching it. Now I’m watching it again because of your reply and wondering if that is uncle Miltie or not. It sure sounds like him. Your comment verified that it is. I only ever ate at this restaurant once about twenty years ago in North Carolina. I liked it.
@@jonnyboat2 I don't know if you can see it in this video, but that telegram he got at the start was from a network (NBC?) saying his show had been cancelled. In reality, Uncle Miltie had been off the air for a while.
@@jonnyboat2 I think at their best, they are an above average fast food place with a surprisingly diverse and even innovative menu. And some of the greatest commercials EVER....
@@richardadams4928 I remember seeing the telegram. I had no idea that the guy was Milton Berle at that point. It was around that spot in the video that I started wondering whether I had even seen the video before. I actually only watched the video because two years ago I had seen some vintage fast food commercials from the 60’s and 70’s and that video came up in the search. I like that type of stuff.
The location of that Jack-in-the-Box: Tampa and Rinaldi, Porter Ranch/Northridge. It's been there since the 1960's. I never did know telling a woman that you work at Jack-in-the-Box (3:15) is a pick-up line. I learn something new everyday. I feel for the loser of the Miss Tree Stump pageant. She looks like she gave up on life, ordering everything on the menu. At least she got back to her senses, by ordering a Diet Tab to wash it all down. "Thurston Howell III and Lovey" got a cultural lesson on how the rest of us live. They wouldn't have gone to Jack-in-the-Box to learn fast food lingo if it hadn't been for their chef quitting.
Unbelievable that you can have your own place working at a fast food minimum wage job back then. Now you have to work two fast food jobs in order to have your own place. Especially in California.
This feels more like a college Art Film than a Fast Food Instructional Video
this is a training film from the late 70s (i think between 77-78). training films then are extremely different from today's, I can tell you that!

Surprisingly good considering the Deadly Dangers training video

That 5.75 meal the family bought would be like $30 today, also damn that cashier is smooth. such a calm comforting voice and handsome to boot.
I don't even bother to go out anymore to eat as much as I used to. I usually just eat at the place I work at where we have an employee discount.
An entire family meal for 5 bucks!
"Ok, we'll have two milks.." "Two DELICIOUS milks !" "Look, who's making this order, big nose, you or me ?"
"I'm a little short on cash this week. Could you make mine non-delicious?"
I wish jack in the box still existed ❤

3:15 That's a bloody useful line to remember if you're embarrassed about your job.
The fact that they got MILTON BERLE to appear in this still blows my mind. Although I guess he really wasn't that busy anymore....

@@jonnyboat2 I just watched again and can confirm that the telegram is indeed addressed to 'Mr. Berle' from NBC.

1986?!! I thought it looked more like the 70’s.
This was definitely WAY prior to '86, I remember watching it in the early 80's.
Lol I know right
The first three minutes had Jack to do with Jack In The Box.
The blonde girl ordered the entire menu and a diet soda.
"do you have a ceaser salad? No but we have a cheese burger with lettuce and tomatoes" 😅

Do you have any more Jack in the Box?
On what planet does this take place? One where fast food workers are as nice as Mr. Rogers?
So if that guy didn't want lettuce on his burger, couldn't they have just pulled it off and given it back to him ?
Who are these people? I want to follow their careers :)
Kinda wanna know what happened to Miss Birch Bark and the very hot girl at 1:46....
Dear Lord, that blonde girl is hot!
"You want the regular fries or the super scoop?"
"The super scoop"
"Super scoop, I'm not surprised"
lol
@@mindriot91_96 Describes the 80's!
@@mindriot91_96 That last bit sounded so smart assed😂
8:13 I have to deal with grouchy folks like that everyday at work.
We have a Tab lol. Tab was gross
Miss Birch Bark was the hottest though.
She was damned hot, for sure. Glad she ordered that 24 oz Tab, gotta watch the ol' figure....
He forgot to ask for her digits, though.
Definitely. What's wrong with these Miss Tree Stump judges? The other customers were also nice looking.
Kicks Ass.

That's also mostly for those that rent instead of owning, which is double screwed.
