Like many of their commercials, this one features their mascot, Jack. In the fiction of the commercials, he is the owner of the company. In this one, he is observing a focus group. the group is providing feedback on the new Jack in the Box Pastrami Grilled Sandwich. According to the commercial, the people were happy to get rid of the rye bread and loved the the new grilled artisan bread. "They say it's the perfect complement to the classic hot pastrami, melting cheese, deli mustard and pickles." I doubt they phrased it like that.
In another room, an intern is being hazed by being dipped into a vat of... goo.
Jack in this commercial was voiced by Rick Sittig.
It seem like this sandwich was only around in 2010, so it must not have been a success. It dais say in the commercial that it was only at participating restaurants, and for a limited time only.

In this commercial, a group of real people are secretly taken to a farm whjere they are shown that Domino's does use real cheese from real milk from real cows. First of all, they must have purposely got conspiracy theorists because at least two of them seem pretty sure it's not real cheeses on Domino's pizzas.. Second, seeing cows really proves nothing (especially to a conspiracy theorist). The focus group was recorded on September 17th, 2010... so just a couple months before I recorded this commercial On November 3rd, 2010).
Domino's had a special deal at the time, they were offering 2 medium 2-topping pizzas for $5.99 each, or you could try any specialty pizza for for just #2.00 more. I actually would like to try the Wisconsin 6 Cheese pizza... sadly it is no longer on the menu.

This commercial talks about "Ecomagination," which is not a real word. It talks about how their technology helps planes land quicker (aerospace division). The new tech allows for fuel savings, lower emissions and less noise. So it's good for the environment, thus the Eco part of Ecomagination (a combination of Eco and imagination). Who is this commercial for? It's basically saying GE is really cool company. I guess it helps with brand awareness and then people might buy their consumer products.

The things people say to Jared in this commercial:

No, they are not talking about his sex offender status, they are talking about the fact that he ran 552 miles to get ready for the ING new York City marathon. "And he's fueling his training with a Protein-packed Low Fat Subway Club." I personally don't want to know about any club he's involved with, or what fuels him.
"Subway. train hard, eat fresh." I guess he likes them fresh. Makes him train hard.

While the website does still exist at the time of this posting (2025), it seems to be a different entity then the one in this commercial. The website is said to have had "one of the largest selections of certified quality pre-owned cars and trucks in the valley and all at unbeatable prices." Pre-owned means used, and the valley the commercial speaks of is the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, California. This is a local Los Angeles commercial.
As for the dealership, there is still a used car dealership located at this address, but it hasn't been called Autoexcel since sometime between 2012 and 2014. The commercial says each of their cars "has passed a 85 point inspection" and they were a certified Car Fax dealer "so when you buy, you buy with confidence. 100% guaranteed financing! Cars starting at $2,995."
The car logs shown in the commercial are Toyota, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Volkswagen, Ford, Dodge Ram and General Motors.

AREN''T YOU GUYS A LITTLE OLD TO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL?
By the time a baby is four months old, his/her calcium needs will have increased more then fifty percent (compared to the average intake at birth). "Breastmilk is best. Ask your doctor." Is breastmilk really one word? Nope.
Follow-Up is "the only formula with the extra calcium active babies need. Versus starter formulas which are adequate. Follow-Up provides extra nutrition insurance." That's some word salad. Nutrition insurance... yeah, okay. "Plus savings up to twenty percent. Also available in soy." it comes in both liquid and powder forms, though soy is only in powder form.
"Sorry, no driving until you're sixteen." So funny (sarcastic).
There are ducks on the package, a mom duck and a baby. I like baby ducks more then baby humans.

The commercial consists of a guy named Erik who is watching his TV, and then it's revealed that he's also accessing his internet through his TV using Adelphia Broadband.
Stuff the guy hears on his TV:
- "... with peanut butter makes a wonderful bird feeder."
- "The fun-running flyers ripped the sabers 14-3."
- "In business news stocks rose-"
- "From the director of A Fist Full of Knuckles..."
And then he goes to a website for "Tom's Dive Club." He messages Tom that he's going diving and asks if "He's in." Tom has not yet responded.
Service may not be available in all areas. Offer good for standard installation to new customers only. Offer restrictions may apply. This is odd that they say all this about new customers as there really were no discounts offers... there were not even any prices listed.

Starting in 1998, when the Fox network took control of the channel "13 Days of Halloween" consisted of mainly of made-for-TV movies aimed at an older audience that aired in the twelve days leading up to Halloween and on Halloween itself. The ownership of the channel has changed in the years that followed, but there is still some version of this promotion (but it's now 31 Days).
Some of the content featured in 2000 were Zack Files, Real Scary Stories, the Freaks and Geeks Halloween episode "Tricks and Treats," the series premiere of The Fearing Mind and the series premiere of Scariest Place on Earth.
closing credits of a rerun episode of the show "Early Edition," specifically the episode "Downsized" (season two, episode five).
This was recorded on Tuesday, October 17th, 2000 during the closing credits of a rerun episode of the show "Early Edition," specifically the episode "Downsized" (season two, episode five). So just two days before 13 Days of Halloween started for the year.

The show was about the lives of ten faculty members at a high school in Boston, dealing with students, having a personal life and keeping their sanity. The show starred Chi McBride, Anthony Heald, Loretta Devine, Sharon Leal, Fyvush Finkel, Jeri Ryan, Michael Rapaport, Nicky Katt, Jessalyn Gilsig, Rashida Jones. It was created by David E Kelly (the creator of Ally McBeal and The Practice).
The student in the preview (in the locker) is played by John Francis Daley, one of the stars of Freaks and Geeks. This was very mart advertising as this preview aired during an episode of Freaks of Geeks. To be exact, this commercial was recorded on Tuesday, October 17th, 2000 on the Fox Family Channel during the first run of the Freaks and Geeks episode "Smooching and Mooching" (Episode 1.16), so less than a week before the series premiers of Boston Public.
Lincoln Logs are a toy, The Washington Redskins were a football team, and Hamilton being a blender refers to Hamilton-Beach, a brand of appliances.

How does she eat it? She throws it into the air, then does some gymnastic moves on the balance beam, then catches it and eats in in a pretty normal manor.
And in the end screen, two Peanut Butter Cups have been made into medals, and there are flashing effects as the sound of photos being taken is heard. Reese's was a proud sponsor of the U.S. Gymnastics Team in 2000.
Vanessa Atler was a member of the U.S. national gymnastics team from the age of 12, Atler was one of America's most successful and talented gymnasts in the late 1990s. Known for her explosive vaults, difficult tumbling skills and charismatic personality, she won or medaled in several important meets, and was considered to be one of the front-runners for the 2000 Olympics. However, injuries, coaching conflicts, gym changes, mental breakdowns and bulimia symptoms derailed her progress in 1999 and 2000, and after a poor showing at the 2000 Olympic Trials, she was controversially left off the Olympic team despite placing sixth overall... so knowing all that, this commercial is a bit awkward.

Bulimia symptoms... maybe there IS a wrong way to eat a Reese's.

The commercial depicts a mother telling her son about the new house they are moving to, how he will get his own room, but the boy is concerned that Santa Clause will not be able to find the new house. I thought this was funny as this commercial was recorded in October. When mom says they'll put their name on the mailbox he seems to become less concerned. about Santa. But he's also concerned about the Easter Bunny, so I guess this kid thinks ahead.
The kid also has a goldfish in a bag. The moving truck says "Crater's" on the side. I can;t tells what the name of the reality company is on the sign.
They were offering a free guide to help "put you on the path to home ownership called "Opening the door to a home of your own" and for a list of lenders and credit councillors.

She treats foot pain such as:
- Ingrown Toenails
- Heal Spur
- Skin & Nail Fungus
- Adult & Children Orthotics
Most major medical insurance and Major credit cars accepted.
At the time of this commercial (in 2000) her practice was at 14108 Magnolia Blvd. in Sherman Oaks, California (corner of Hazeltine and Magnolia). the phone number was 818-981-0080. I haven't been able to confirm what is in that space now, but I know her clinic was there until at least 2017. She seems to now works at Evolve Healthcare at 20301 Ventura Blvd., Ste 210 in Woodland Hills, California.
Obviously this was a local commercial for the Los Angeles market. This commercial was recorded on Tuesday, October 17th, 2000 on the Fox Family Channel during the first run of the Freaks and Geeks episode "Smooching and Mooching" (Episode 1.16).

The maneuvers are:
- Go Forward
- Turn Right
- Turn Left
- Big Circle
- Dump It Out
- U-Turn
This commercial is a lie. After it dumps the blocks out, it backs up to hit the table leg to make the keys fall. Aside from the fact that the keys would have to be precariously balanced on the edge of the table, there was no command to back up.
The kid calling it back at the end is not a mistake, after all commands are done, any loud noise can summon it back (I dead the directions on the Mattel website). I have no idea why the scenes with the kid are in black & white.
