Messin with Sasquatch

Jack Link's Beef Jerky has won the adversitement all time funniest commercial....by me. If you have never seen these commericals please watch them, it is marketing commedy at its best.

Jacks Links Beef Jerky has a series of commericals that involve practical jokes. The jokes are funny, but the best part is that they are all done to a sasquatch, thats right a yeti. One of the best Jacks Link's best is (hot water) a group of three guys come upon a sleeping sasquatch. The guys heat up water and quietly place the sasquatches hand in the hot water......and he urinates all over himself. The guys run and laugh behind a tree, which they are carrying a bag of jerky. Almost every commercial ends with the sasquatch throwing something at the jokesters and knocking one of them down or closelining them across the forest.

This clever commercial has grabbed the attention of many, and has been a discussion at my work place. Many people agree that the creative team behind these series of commercials is seriously genius.

The commercials are purely unrealistic and that alone makes them even more funny. Another catchy commercial involving sasquatch involves that good ole' loose salt cap. You see a two guys watching the sasquatch from behind a log, to see he is roasting a rabbit on a spit atop of a blazing fire, the guys give hand signals and one sneaks up behind sasquatch to unscrew the salt shaker cap. The sasquatch reaches for the shaker and pours it on the food to get the entire shaker full spilling out. He gets angry, and you see the guys laughing and Sasquatch comes up from behind and then it shows the Jack Links logo.

Not many commercials can pull a laugh out of me, so I consider myself a critical commercial watcher. I rarely find even superbowl commercials quite funny. However these Jack Links commerical had me laughing at every one. My personal favorite was the shaving cream one. Its a must see. The advertisements are shoving their product in our face, they are providing you with incredible humor. When a commercial is this great you share it with your friends. These commercials are not to be forgotten.

The commericals itself are not your typical commercial. I encourage all of you who have nto yet seen them to visit Messin With Sasquatch
